This was the story that introduced me to bandom. Posted ages ago, it disappeared whenninjajab's journal was deleted and purged, but she was good enough to repost it to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bandom_rarepair. Lucky for us that she did so, because it's truly a gem.
The story is quick but sweet, working from their brief meeting at a VMA post-show party, through their tentative communications, until they get together and are labeled "VH1’s list of top forty most unlikely celebrity couples."ninjajab really nails Keira's voice, earnest but sharp, and writes an thoroughly believable Patrick. The highest praise I can offer is to say that the story makes this unlikely pairing seem plausible.
He sends the cd off, and they text back and forth occasionally - nothing too flirty and it is not a big deal. Patrick knows this because he tells himself so constantly. Keira is a nice, funny, gorgeous, movie star girl and Patrick is her sort-of friend who has a superior taste in music. That’s all. He’s just educating her.
Then Keira goes on TRL and tells all of America and most of Fall Out Boy’s key demographic that Patrick is her celebrity crush. And then she’s on the cover of Rolling Stone and she mentions twice how she can’t stop listening to the new Fall Out Boy record. Cosmo asks her what her ideal man is and she says she likes a bloke with a sense of humour, a decent music collection, and, she says, “I’m liking them a bit rounder now, actually. Not really into that stereotypical, skinny, pretty-boy look. How dull, right?”
Pete is beside himself. Joe is stunned, and Andy is supportive in his mild Andy way. Patrick waits until he’s alone in his hotel room before he calls her. They’re in Indianapolis, two more shows until Chicago. She picks up on the second ring.
