@temporalobjects​​ sent in: "You want my advice?" Uta remarked as he filed his nails carefully. "You should send your detective sourface some dick picks. Well, maybe that's a bit much for you, so a smoochy face instead, with an open shirt. Yeah, unbutton that baby all the way down, that's what I'm saying!!" || uta gives soild unsolicited relationship advice ( ft. unprompted )
“...” A cringe at such brazen words ( although is it really that forward? He’s heard worse- nothing gets quite as crass as locker room talk in secondary school. Or university for that matter. )  As the coffee in his mug sloshes inside, a droplet flying out and staining the cuff of his shirt. And yet Patrick considers himself LUCKY; for one thing, he managed to not spill the coffee on the book he was glossing through, and not to mention, had he been drinking the coffee, he’s quite certain he would’ve burned his tongue and if not that, then most certainly, Patrick would have choked on it instead. But more importantly, did Mister Uta just say- “P-Pardon?”

‘Dick Pics’? So maybe Patrick is more than rusty when it comes to understanding modern colloquialisms but it’s not too difficult to put two and two together in this case...that and as a professor one overhears more than his fair share of drama from his students. Including the ones where his female students complain about getting these...’dick pics’ from men they’ve only met once before. Or never even in person.
Sending a picture like that ( not that Patrick has ever been sent one and not that he’s looking to change that ever ) to Hyuk? His cheeks burn. He sets his coffee mug on the desk.
“I’m...I’m certain he would not be...CHARMED to say the very least,” Patrick says instead. Considering how uncomfortable Hyuk gets when people comment on his appearance, Patrick’s pretty sure Hyuk would see receiving such pictures ( unsolicited too ) as harassment. He doesn’t mention that to Mister Uta ( although he does have to wonder- does the man currently sitting with his legs crossed on Patrick’s desk know about Patrick’s crush? There’s no way, it’s not like they’re that obvious- )
But then Mister Uta ( thankfully ) revises himself, even if Patrick would point out that a ‘smoochy face with an open shirt’ isn’t much better of an option. Actually, Patrick would prefer to do neither of those options considering that a. Hyuk would not be charmed in the slightest and b. Patrick doesn’t think he could even pull off such a...concept. It sounds like something more up Mister Uta‘s alleyway.
And besides, Patrick is more than OKAY with where he stands with Hyuk. Really. Why fix something that already works?
( Or at least that’s what he tells himself. That’s a line of thought he doesn’t want to go down right now. )

But Mister Uta seems to like his new idea and the next thing Patrick knows. his book has been swiped from him and he’s seated on his desk with Uta using Patrick’s phone ( the one Hyuk got for him years ago ) to test camera angles. Uta approaches him with a glint in his eye. Patrick doesn’t like that look or the way Uta is eying the BUTTONS on his button-down. He already popped the first two earlier because of the summer heat.
Suddenly, Patrick really wishes he wore a sweater vest today instead.
“J-Just a moment Mister Uta, I-I’m not sure this is a good idea-”
