Logicality but they live in adjacent apartment buildings and meet when they’re both on their respective rooftops one evening
Patton sees someone on the roof of the next building (his apartment building has a rooftop garden, and the guy on the next building has a telescope set up) and waves excitedly because he’s Patton - the guy doesn’t see him for a minute, but when he does, he offers a small, bemused wave back. Patton’s back out the next night, just to see if the guy is back, too, and he is!!! He doesn’t have his telescope but he’s still watching the sky. He looks over and sees Patton, and he actually waves first! Patton is ecstatic because new friend!
Then, after a couple days of the same routine, Patton is leaving his building to go get groceries when he runs into someone just outside. He starts to apologize, but when he pulls back, he realizes hey!!! It’s rooftop guy!! Rooftop guy recognizes him back and says a formal hello, introducing himself as Logan, and Patton is over the moon now because they can be actual friends. He introduces himself too, including that he’s an education major at the nearby university, has Logan heard of it? And Logan tells him yeah, he’s an astronomy student there, then asks where he’s heading and hey, Logan’s going into town, too, if he wants some company? (Of course Patton says yes.)
Cue the next few months of them “running into each other” like that - Logan’s headed to the bookstore one afternoon and Patton totally doesnt see him through his window and race twelve stories down to bump into him and offer to join him, Patton is on the rooftop one night and calls across to ask if Logan wants to visit the new 24-hour bakery downtown, etc - and eventually they’re just going on flat out dates (but neither of them call it that).
after like a year, year and a half of this, they’re ‘hanging out’ and Patton slyly mentions that, ohh no, his lease on the apartment is up soon, he’s never been fond of the landlord so he was thinking about moving buildings but he doesn’t know wheeeere- and Logan thinks for a second and then he’s like well, hey, I have a spare bedroom in my apartment, what about that? And of course Patton jumps on the offer and they move in together and decorate it a little more with plants and lights and little knick knacks or souvenirs from the places they go together, and after all that they still go on the rooftop to be together where they started.
Anyway how cute would that be
i would pay you 5 cents to say that one of them eventually proposes on the rooftop so it comes full circle bc this is the cutest thing i have ever seen
