Patrick struggles with tennis. A lot. It’s clear that he tries so hard to live up to the expectations of his peers, his ‘fans’, but he never fails to fall short. Every. Single. Match. It’s frustrating knowing he will never be as good as he once was.

“It’s not always this bad,“ Patrick chuckles weakly as he flashes you a slight smirk after a particularly bad match. He didn’t want to—couldn’t seem weak in front of you. He could lose as many matches as he wants. He can’t lose you, too.
