[ When Patrick starts with 'I want' and then trails off into nothingness, David sweeps his hand around in another impatient gesture as if to say 'come ON'. He doesn't appreciate the way that Patrick fixes his gaze on the wall instead of him but at least he has the little sliver of grace left in him that it takes to just listen to Patrick without cutting him off in frustration.
But once it sinks in, David just stares.
Then he closes his eyes, tilts his head back and presses the heels of his hands to both temples as though he's listening to the worse song in the world. ]
Oh. My god. So. [ He purses his lips and shakes his head and it seems like his eyebrows can't decide between scrunching together and reaching for his hairline. He still hasn't opened his eyes. ] What exactly are you saying, Patrick?
[ David has no interest in embarrassing himself once again by jumping to a conclusion he sees as obvious but which apparently might not be, but there's also a part of him that wants to make Patrick articulate himself better. He owes David.
He finally opens his eyes and the look he settles on his husband is one of almost good-natured impatience. Well?? ]
