Chapter 11

Patton wanted to be Harry and Ron for Halloween. Wes disagreed, thinking they should be an actual couple like Alec and Magnus in Shadowhunters. Patton argued that they were both more familiar with the Harry Potter characters and should just stick to what they knew, but in the end, they decided on Alec and Magnus because they were more badass.

Patton’s friend, Gina, from choir was hosting a Halloween party the weekend before Halloween, and Lizzy and Colt were hosting a Halloween party at her house the night before Halloween. Needless to say, Patton and Wes needed costumes and time to plan out their looks.

In the two weeks since they’d come out as a couple at their Homecoming dance, their friends had been nothing but supportive. Ty, especially, had latched on to them and Patton couldn’t help but wonder if they were helping him in more ways than just being his friends.

When they’d first walked into the dance and found their group of friends, it had been Riley that had simply pulled each of them into a hug and told them congratulations. After he’d pulled back, Ty had asked why they needed congratulations and Riley had simply said, “They’re together now,” and that was it. Their friends had each hugged them and questioned them and congratulated them, then they’d all danced like idiots.

Throughout the night, other people had come up to them and asked or congratulated them and they’d definitely gotten a few unpleasant looks, but on the whole, it had been an amazing night. Something Patton wouldn’t soon forget. When Wes had dropped Patton off at home after the dance, they’d also spent long minutes in the car practicing their new love for all things related to kissing. So that had been pretty great too.

Fast forward two weeks and they were walking down the aisle at Goodwill looking for costume pieces.

“Maybe I should get a trench coat,” Wesley said as he pointed to a row of winter wear.

They already had two black T-shirts and Patton had found a dark pair of pants he could wear, but they were looking for a few accessories that would complete their Shadowhunter looks.

“I think you’d look amazing in a trench coat,” Patton replied, looking Wesley up and down. “You’re all long lines and already dark and mysterious. With your eyes done, you’re going to make the perfect Magnus.”

Wesley smiled at him. “We could look for a leather jacket for you. I think we’d be the perfect Malec. Maybe we should call ourselves… hmm. I don’t know. What would our couple name be? Like, Patley?” Wesley wrinkled his nose and Patton laughed.

“Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. Maybe something more like Weston? That sounds way more us than Patley. I like that, Weston. It’s a nice blend of our names.”

Wesley came over and, taking a quick look around, pecked Patton on the lips. “I like it too. I like that we’re a we and can even come up with something as dorky as a couple name.
