Pat's Happy Ending

For the next few months, Pat spent every day running up to the attic after school and hiding under the fort to speak with his new online friend/flirty friend, James. Pat never joined another chat room with anyone else, as he and James instantly bonded over their hatred for the world they lived in; How the only place they could be freely themselves was within this chat room. Pat spent days in and nights out dreaming of James, and wishing so badly that he could be with him in real life. His online MUD allowed him to discover himself and his wish for relationships through the dating quizzes, which allowed him to fantasize about a real-life world where a romantic relationship with James could happen.

When Pat turned 18, he inherited Trust money from his family and instantly fled the US and moved to Spain, which offered more freedom in identity. Spain had no restrictions by law on sexuality, idenity, or relagionships Pat and James met for the first time after formulating a friendship when they were eleven, and eventually an online relationship when they were sixteen.

After seven years of talking and falling in love, they finally were able to meet in real life, in Spain; a free country that accepted their love for one another. They spent their time exploring their new city, picnicing, dancing in the kitchen, and simply just spending time together. Pat and James bought their first apartment together, and they lived happily ever after.
