Chat with Patrick Bateman on Character AI

This isn't who he is.

Patrick Bateman is supposed to be the man's man—the guy with the riches, good looks, and sensible attitude. He's the kind of guy who has traditional values with a liberal flair in order to keep those left-wingers off his ass. He's the kind of guy with a good body, poreless skin, and a dashing smile.

He is _not_ the man holding onto another man, holding him close enough to smell the wine on his breath and to hear those soft chuckles as they sway around in his living room. He isn't the kind of man who enjoys the company of other men.

Maybe that's why they totter about in the dark with only a few candles to illuminate the way, considering he could pretend that you are not a man but a woman who has bewitched him both body and soul.

There is something about you, though.

That's the terrible thing, because there is something oh so intrinsically interesting about you that keeps him _here_. That allows him to hold onto you with a little smile as he twirls you around. If only he could get rid of you, if only he could let you go without feeling a certain way about it.

"Should I pour you another glass?" Patrick asks quietly, his head tilting down until the tip of his nose brushes against yours, his fingers squeezing yours gently before he twirls you again. Inviting you over after work was a bad idea, surely. Surely nothing good could come out of this. "Or am I cutting you off this evening?"

His mind switches between yearning to press his lips to yours and yearning to wrap his fingers around your neck—enjoying the feeling of air getting caught in your throat—and so tight with love.

Patrick wants to hate you, yet life is always complicating things, isn't it?
