notes: hi lovelies! if youâd like to see more of camp counselor!patrick, iâve created a c.ai bot of him (which actually inspired the making of these headcanons, fun fact). you can talk to him here :)
⥠patrick kissed you for the first time in the craft shed, mid-storm, with your walkies hissing static in the background and the kids finally asleep in their sleeping bags like fragile bombs. it was supposed to be a quick, stupid thingâjust to get the tension out. you grabbed his shirt. he pressed you against the wall like heâd been waiting weeks for permission. his hands didnât even move at first, just held your face like he needed to memorize it. you kissed like you hated each other for how badly you wanted it. and when he pulled back, breathing hard, he whispered âyouâre killinâ me, you know that?â and you hated how soft it made you feel. like maybe you wanted to kill him. or maybe you didnât want anyone else touching you like that ever again.
⥠you never fully fuck. the risk is too high. the kids are too close. your jobs matter too much. but that just makes everything worseâor maybe better. itâs all breathless makeouts in dark corners of the mess hall. his hand up your camp shirt during movie night in the rec lodge. dry humping behind the canoe racks while youâre both supposed to be organizing life jackets. he gets off on how quiet you try to beâhis hand over your mouth, his teeth grazing your shoulder, both of you rocking together in the dark like you might combust if you stopped. sometimes you come just from grinding, from the thick press of him between your legs and the frantic rhythm and the way he tells you âfuck, youâre shakingâiâve got you, youâre okay, keep going.â itâs obscene how good he is at making it feel like enough.
⥠patrick isnât supposed to like you. not someone who lives by laminated schedules and has a spreadsheet for sunscreen reapplication. but god, heâs addicted to you. you make the whole camp run like a machine and still find time to tie friendship bracelets with your girls before bed, or sneak extra marshmallows to the picky eater in your cabin. he watches you from across the field like a boy in love with the sun. sits with his first-graders during campfire night but only half-listens, eyes flicking to you as you shush your cabin, tuck stray curls behind your ears, bite your lip when someone sings off-key. youâre so put-together. so in control. and he wants to ruin that. wants to hear your breath hitch when he kisses your neck behind the arts building. wants to see your clipboard hit the ground because his handâs down your shorts again. wants you to lose controlâfor him.
⥠it starts as lust. of course it does. you roll your eyes at his jokes and mutter under your breath when heâs late to flagpole duty againâbut every argument ends with him leaning in too close, smirking like he knows. and maybe he does. the way you start lingering near his cabin at night. the way you wear his hoodie one day âby accidentâ and donât give it back. but somewhere between shared debriefs and early-morning setup shifts, it shifts. he starts bringing you snacks. starts leaving notes in your fanny pack like: you forgot your smile. i found it. -p or i stole you a popsicle. come find me. and you do. every time. itâs not just adrenaline anymore. itâs affection. familiarity. you start to know each otherâs footsteps. moods. soft spots. he lets you see his softness without irony. and that terrifies you.
⥠the campers love him. of course they do. heâs barefoot half the time, sunburned, trailing kids like a one-man parade. makes fart jokes. pretends to be a swamp monster. teaches them how to fish using gummy worms. they call him âcoach pâ even though you donât have sports teams. and you hate how good he is at this. how easily he connects. how quickly kids go from sobbing to giggling with one dumb face or story. you run a tighter ship. you enforce quiet hours, give the best hugs, braid hair and bandage knees and write postcards to homesick girls so they feel like they matter. youâre the safe one. heâs the fun one. opposites. and somehow, it works. he teases you about being the âcamp mom,â but you catch him watching you across the playground like heâs already imagining you holding his kid one day. he doesnât say that out loud. but you feel it.
⥠after lights out, he sneaks into your cabin through the back. not every night. but enough that you start sleeping on the left side of the cot automatically. you kiss with the urgency of people who might get caught. thighs tangled. teeth clashing. breath stolen in pieces. sometimes he just lays there, hand under your shirt, fingers slow on your ribs like heâs trying to map you. he talks softer here. asks about your family. your old job. why you came to camp in the first place. âwhat are you running from?â he asks once, into your shoulder. you pretend you didnât hear him. youâre not ready to answer that. and he doesnât push. just kisses the curve of your neck and pulls you closer.
⥠dry humping with him isnât a compromise. itâs a sickness. youâre both fully clothed, rutting against each other like desperate teenagersâpanting, whispering, biting back moans in the dark. he grinds down hard, cock thick and leaking through his boxers, and you clutch at him like it hurts to be touched. your thighs get sticky. your shirt gets pulled halfway up. sometimes you come in your underwear with him barely touching youâjust from how intense he gets. how he presses his forehead to yours and murmurs âyouâre so wet like thisâjesus, baby, you gonna come for me just like that?â and you do. and you canât even feel embarrassed, because heâs coming too, hips jerking, cock twitching against your thigh like heâs been aching for you all day. because he has.
⥠sometimes, after cleanup duty, he corners you in the kitchen. flicks off the light. lifts you onto the counter and stands between your knees like he owns the space. kisses you so slowly it almost hurts. tongue sliding lazy and wet against yours. hands tracing the shape of your waist like heâs not in a rush for once. âyouâre the only reason i get through the day sometimes,â he admits into your mouth. and you donât know how to answer. so you just pull him closer. and kiss him like you believe it.
⥠the sneaking around gets easier. muscle memory. you both know which counselors leave which patrols and when. which spots stay dark the longest. you pass each other little smirks during meals, casual touches that mean meet me later. and itâs exciting. addicting. it feels like a secret universe just for the two of youâwhere your rules donât apply and his bad habits donât scare you and everything in the world stops mattering for a little while. until the sun comes up. until the whistles blow. until youâre back in your polos, pretending nothing happened, pretending you donât miss his weight behind you.
⥠patrick makes you laugh in the middle of moments youâre trying to be serious. mid-counselor meeting while youâre trying to propose a new bug spray schedule, he leans over and whispers âyouâve got a power complex and i support it.â you shove him. he grins like a child. but later, he shows up to your bug spray training and helps the kids fill out their logs. even makes a joke about mosquitos being ânatureâs way of checking if youâre paying attention.â he teases you like youâre a joke. but treats you like a miracle. you hate it. you love it. you donât know which is worse.
⥠one night, youâre both out late walking a homesick camper back to their bunk. the kid holds your hand. patrick holds a flashlight. and when the kid falls asleep, curled between their stuffed animal and your knee, you both sit there. in silence. until patrick says, âi think i could do this. likeâthis. forever.â and you look at him. really look. not the barefoot troublemaker or the secret hookup or the guy who knows how to kiss your neck just right. just him. raw. tired. maybe a little afraid. âme too,â you whisper. and it feels dangerous. it feels real. it feels like the kind of thing you donât come back from.
⥠patrick never wears shoes. like, ever. he says itâs a âgrounding practice,â but youâre 90% sure he just hates laces. his feet are perpetually dirty, half-burnt from the blacktop, always scratched up from god knows whatâsticks, rocks, one infamous lego in the arts cabin. you make fun of him for it constantly. he calls you âfoot-shamer generalâ and bows dramatically whenever you scold him. but then he gets a splinter and limps around for half a day and you end up crouched in the nurseâs station, tweezers in hand, while he pouts and calls you âflorence fuckinâ nightingale.â you donât smile. not out loud. but when you rub ointment into his arch, he exhales like your hands are made of fire.
⥠patrick is always snacking. like constantly. heâs the kind of guy who has sunflower seed shells in every pocket, and a crushed granola bar melted into the lining of his backpack. once you caught him eating an entire packet of mini Oreos behind the cabins at 9am. when you stared at him, horrified, he just grinned and said, âiâm on the patrick plan: five meals, two breakdowns, and a little sugar every hour.â and it would be ridiculousâshould be ridiculousâbut then he starts bringing you snacks. peanut butter crackers when you skip lunch. little cups of gatorade when you look tired. he never says why. just hands it to you and walks away.
⥠youâve never seen anyone make kids laugh like he does. heâll trip over a tree root, fall into a mud puddle, and still turn it into a game. his group is always in chaosâmissing shoes, crooked name tags, one kid trying to eat a bugâbut they worship him. like he hung the moon. and it drives you insane. because he lets them get away with everything. but he also remembers all their birthdays. carries bug spray for the ones with sensitive skin. draws secret tattoos on their wrists with marker so they can feel brave during nature hikes. you canât even hate him for it. because heâs good. stupidly good. in a way that makes you ache.
⥠you both learn each otherâs bodies like a survival skill. where he likes to be scratched. the spot on your inner thigh that makes your hips twitch. how to kiss without leaving marks. how to slide hands under shirts without rustling too much fabric. he knows how to undo your bra with one hand. you know how to straddle his lap without messing up your bunk. heâs a master at unbuttoning your shorts just enough to slip his hand in, fingers warm and rough and so good while he kisses you slow and deep like thereâs no one else on the planet. and when you come, gasping into his neck, he holds you there. murmurs your name like itâs something precious.
⥠sometimes, when youâre doing head counts, heâll sneak up behind you and whisper the wrong number just to mess with you. âtwenty-four, baby. we lost one. check the lake.â you threaten to kill him. every time. but heâs already laughing, ducking away, and godâgodâyou love him. even when you hate him. maybe especially when you hate him. itâs easier than saying the real thing. than admitting itâs not just a fling. not just camp hormones. itâs him. itâs always him.
⥠on a hot july night, the two of you end up swimming in the lake after hours. no lights. no one watching. just skin on skin and silence. you float on your back. he watches you like youâre something rare. precious. âyou ever think about next year?â he asks. and you hate the question. because of course you have. and of course you havenât. and everything feels too fragile to say out loud. so you just splash water in his face and tell him to race you to the dock. he lets you win. barely.
⥠he knows when youâre stressed. doesnât ask. doesnât prod. just finds you. hands you a popsicle. leads you to the dock. doesnât say a word until your breathing slows. then he leans in and says something so stupidâso insufferably funnyâyou end up wheezing. head in your hands. tears in your eyes. and heâs just sitting there watching you, face soft with something dangerous. something that sounds a lot like forever.
⥠thereâs a spot behind the camp kitchen where the staff sometimes sneak cigarettes. you donât smoke. he does. but you start meeting him there anyway. sometimes he just presses you into the wall, kisses you until your lips are raw. sometimes he just talks. tells you stories about foster homes, old bands he used to love, that one time he thought he could live in his car. you listen. every time. and when he exhales smoke into the air and mutters âi donât think iâve ever felt safe like this,â you donât say anything. you just hold his hand. and hope itâs enough.
⥠patrickâs hoodie smells like sunscreen and grass and cedarwood soap. you wear it more than he does. he pretends not to notice. but one night, you give it back. folded. clean. and he looks at you like you just ended something. you canât explain why it hurts so much. but later, when he shows up at your cabin, heâs wearing it. and when he kisses you, itâs deeper than usual. slower. like heâs begging you not to leave first.
⥠the kids figure it out way before either of you admit anything. it starts small. one of your campers catches you smiling at patrick during breakfast lineup and immediately starts whispering about it like itâs breaking news. another swears they saw him looking at you during talent show night with âgoogly eyes.â suddenly there are questions. âdo you like coach p?â âdo you think he likes you back?â âif you got married would we get invited??â you deny it. every time. cool. calm. collected. until one of the boys from his cabin asks patrick, dead serious: âif you kiss miss [your name], do you have to sign a form or something?â and he chokes on his juice box.
⥠your campers start acting weird about it. suddenly youâre being paired with him for every buddy activity. heâs always the first one they vote to sit with you during meals. one of the girls makes a beaded necklace with both your initials and gives it to you, just beaming. âitâs for luck.â you wear it under your shirt. patrick finds it later when heâs got his hands up your back, and you feel him stop. go still. âthis mine?â he murmurs. and when you nod, he presses his mouth to your collarbone like a thank you.
⥠the final week is crushing. your scheduleâs full of extra activities and farewell events and everyoneâs overtired and overstimulatedâbut itâs not just exhaustion. itâs grief. because every day is a countdown now. every shared glance with patrick. every lunch tray passed. every secret kiss behind the maintenance shed. every time he passes you the walkie with his fingers brushing yours. itâs all starting to feel like goodbye.
⥠you and patrick start holding onto each other longer at night. not talking. not even kissing sometimes. just curled up together in your bunk, breathing in sync. he strokes your spine with the back of his fingers and whispers things youâre not sure youâre meant to hear. âwish i met you earlier.â âyou feel like home, you know that?â and worst of all: âyou think weâll be likeâŠokay, after?â you donât answer. you just bury your face in his neck. pretend time doesnât exist.
⥠the last night of camp, your kids do skits and cry and give each other bracelets and someone plays âriptideâ on ukulele again even though no one asked. patrickâs sitting on the bench behind your group, legs spread, arms around two of his boys who are both pretending theyâre not crying. you catch his eye. he mouths: âyou okay?â and it breaks you. because no. youâre not. but you nod anyway.
⥠you sneak away after lights-out. meet him down by the docks. itâs chilly. the lakeâs glass. heâs already sitting at the edge, feet in the water, hoodie up, face unreadable. when you sit beside him, he doesnât say anything. just leans over, head on your shoulder. âcan we not talk?â he asks. âjustâŠbe here?â and you stay there until sunrise. neither of you say a word.
⥠the kids give you goodbye letters. glitter pens. tissue flowers. one of them writes âi hope you and coach p get married. he looks at you like my dad looks at my mom in old photos.â you read it in the storage closet. alone. and cry so hard you choke.
⥠patrick doesnât do goodbyes well. he makes jokes. high-fives. spins a camper over his shoulder and calls it a âfinal swirl.â but you can tell heâs unraveling. later, after dinner, he corners you behind the lodge. âi donât know how to not see you tomorrow,â he says. voice thin. âi donât know how to wake up and not look for your dumb clipboard and your ponytail and your bossy little voice telling me to shut up and act right.â and you kiss him before he can finish. slow. quiet. ruined.
⥠the morning everyone leaves, itâs chaos. suitcases. hugs. snot. sobbing campers. last photos. your hands are shaking. his too. he loads up the last van, then justâŠstands there. doesnât even look at you at first. just wipes his mouth like heâs trying to pull it together. âdonât forget me,â he says. and itâs not fair. itâs not fair. because you wonât. not in a million years.
⥠after the buses are gone, you find something in your cubby. itâs his bandana. the red one he always wore tied around his neck or arm or forehead like a cartoon cowboy. it smells like cedar and lake water and sweat. thereâs a note with it. not long. just:
for the next time you miss me more than you should.
âp.
⥠the first week after camp, everything hurts. you fold laundry like youâre in mourning. you smell sunscreen and feel your stomach turn. you walk past a lake and almost cry. you check your phone and feel sick with how much you want his name to light up the screen. he texts you two days later: âYo! My new job has air conditioning. Itâs unnatural. Also I miss you. A lot. :( Iâll send gummy worms if you say it back.â you donât answer for a while. then: âmiss you more. send two packs.â
⥠he does. in a padded envelope. no note. just worms. and you hold them to your chest like theyâre flowers. like a promise. like a maybe.
canât believe some ppl only know mike faist from challengers. they donât even know that maxâs mom brought cookie cake for everyone :/
anyways 70s!patrick picking you up off the side of the road in his cadillac. it was so hot outside and you looked like you were struggling to carry this huge suitcase all by yourself. and thatâs totally the only reason he stopped in front of you. to help. not just because you had on the tiniest shorts heâs ever seen.
âhey.â he called out to you from the open passenger seat window.
âhi.â
you gave him the sweetest smile, and he almost felt bad for the dirty thoughts he was having about you.
âneed a ride?â you contemplated the offer for a moment before ultimately giving in. âhm⊠sure!â patrick parked his car a few stops ahead then got out to grab your bag.
âiâm patrick by the way.â he said. you nodded introducing yourself. âso where are we headed.â he asked you, sliding back into the car. âla.â you answered. kicking off your shoes and throwing you feet up on his dashboard, before sinking into the passenger seat. âiâm gonna be a movie star.â you giggled. patrick hummed, his eyes closing in on the smooth skin of your thighs that had a slight sheen of sweat on them. âthe new american dream.â
he let you take control of the radio switching from station to station singing to every single song.
âi just wanna say thank you for picking me up. been walking for forever.â you dropped your hand on his shoulder, playfully tugging at his ears. patrick flinched at the sudden action before chuckling. âyou uh- look a long ways away from home. howâd you get so far out here.â you sighed. âwell, i hitched from nevada with this trucker who ended up creeping me out, so at our last stop i jumped out with my bag and have been walking since. my legs are so sore.â you pouted.
patrick dropped one of his big hands on your thigh, and squeezed. moving his hand up and down massaging your leg.
you âsubtlyâ clenched your thighs together whenever his hand got a little to high, and patrick had to hold back his smirk leaving his hand to just rest at the top of your inner thigh. âyou know, i have a friend whoâs a photographer for⊠magazines. i could totally get him to take you headshots, and introduce you to people.â patrick turned to look at you, catching how your face lit up.â âreally?!â
patrick nodded and you huffed a laugh, jumping in your seat a little. âthatâs amazing, oh my god. how could i ever repay you?â
âweâll think of something.â
-
that something being you riding him outside his condo in palm springs.
âfuck, babe your body was made to be on film.â your t-shirt was lost somewhere in the car, and patrick had his rough hands groping at your exposed breast. your thighs were starting to ache again from moving up and down on his cock.
âyouâre so big, canât -fuck- canât do it.â your movement flattered down into slow grinds. âuh uh.â patrick held you up by your waist, and started moving you again. âmovie stars donât quit do they? iâm already helping you out so much just be a good girl ride me. ok.â
he wasnât exactly wrong. he was helping you out. giving you a ride, letting you stay with him, getting his friends to do your head shots.
âok.â
you planted your hands on his clothed shoulder holding on tight as you started bouncing again. your whimpery moans sounded as sweet as the smile you gave him earlier looked.
âatta girl.â patrick locked his arms around your waist, and dropped his head in the crook of your neck. he bucked his hips up in fast thrust. âpatrick!â
his hand found place on the back of your neck forcing you to keep eye contact with him. âgod, your pussy feels amazing. so glad i picked you up.â you nodded along with his words. âwouldâve been so lost without me, get picked by some creepy old man.â he says as if he isnât one them.
âthankyouthankyouthankyousomuchâ you mumbled.
âand youâre so fucking sweet.â he pushed back against the steering, the both of you jumping when the horn went off. laughs mixed in with your moans.
patrick let his hand travel down body his finger finding your clit, and he rubbed figure eights on you feeling your walls clench tighter around him. âgonna cum baby?â you nodded your head fast. your bodies moving in the same fast pace, from the outside anyone walking by would be able to tell whatâs going on.
âoh god -fuck!- cumming!â you moans filled up the space along with the slapping of skin, and some you gushing all over patrickâs cock with light scream. âshit!â patrickâs rhythm got sloppy and he completely stilled inside of you, fill you up with thick ropes of cum.
the two of sat there in each otherâs catching your breaths, your mixed orgasms dripping down onto patrickâs leather seats.
âthe industryâs gonna love you.â you smiled at his comment threading your fingers through his hair not knowing you two were thinking about very different industries.
iâm gonna ball him up and eat him. like a fucking cake ball. weâre being so fed with all these crumbs
WHO IS HATING ART HE HAS A TOUGH ENOUGH LIFE ALREADY WITH A FLOPPY DICK AND SAD DIET
genuinely, how do you write smut??? i feel so stupid. this is why i stick to fluff and angst. this is hard đđ
