Don't be frigtened by people who hate this pairing. Though I myself believe that they're just good friends, some people who agree with me on that will take it a step further and write epic and passionate comments about how Pete's just media-whoring the "relationship" between him and Patrick up as a publicity stunt.

I don't actually believe any of the RPS pairings I've been a fan of are having sexual relationships in real life. I just like the idea of it! Pete and Patrick remind me a lot of A-Rod and Jeter (I'm a big baseball fan) in that they have a very romantic friendship that makes slashing fun.

Thanks for the warning about the haters! I can see how Pete isn't everyone's cup of tea, although I find him completely entertaining and adorable. And he certainly is a media-whore, no doubt about that. And obviously enjoys playing with people's perceptions about his sexuality. But there's no doubt in my mind that his regard for Patrick is utterly genuine, and that's really all I need.

I have found the Pete/Patrick community, and I'm looking forward to much happy reading!
