I think Schitt's Creek fans can all agree David Rose and Patrick Brewer's relationship is simply the best. From the day Patrick approached David and offered to help him develop his new business, it was clear Patrick's interest wasn't limited to Rose Apothecary. Eventually, David became Patrick's first boyfriend (though he was previously engaged to a woman), while Patrick became David's first serious boyfriend. The two experienced plenty of first times, uncomfortable moments, and petty arguments, but if David and Patrick's best moments from Schitt's Creek don't make you tear up a little, then you may just be part robot. I mean, how can you not love this journey for them?
In addition to being adorable AF, the romance that developed between David and Patrick normalizes same-sex relationships in a way many other TV shows fail to do well. They aren't just a gay couple — they're a couple to root for, and their partnership is as sweet and sappy as it is snarky and awkward. From bed-wetting incidents to anti-snoring nose clips, their relationship explored what it means to be truly intimate, and it's 100% relatable.
Schitt's Creek may be done (for now), but these adorable David and Patrick moments will live on in TV history forever.
After Patrick gave David his business card, David called him and ended up leaving a pretty cringe-worthy series of voicemails, which made it clear he'd already developed a bit of a crush. The best part: He awkwardly concluded his last message with, "Ciao."

Soon after Patrick gave David that sentimental gift, David made the first move and kissed Patrick in his car, which was a pretty big deal, considering it was Patrick's first kiss with a guy.
