Logan arrived in front of the overly large mansion. His friend Patton would perhaps describe it as "extra." Suddenly he was hit with a wave of feeling out of place.

Obviously, this Prince Roman was extremely rich. He had to be, if he wanted to afford such a lavish lifestyle.

Logan took a moment to compare himself to his surroundings as he walked through the mansion. The building itself was of a Gothic architecture style, appearing from the outside similar to a castle. The interior was as one would expect a rich person to live, completely decked out with expensive furniture and art. The thing that stuck out to Logan the most were the colors, for as he explored he found mostly red, white, and gold.

Fits the prince theme, he thought to himself. He then started comparing his presence and lifestyle to Roman's. Roman was rich, famous, comfortable. Logan, on the other hand, worked at Starbucks to afford rent and the parts of tuition that his scholarship didn't cover.

He expected Roman would have high-tech, professional level recording and video equipment, whereas all Logan had in that sense was a semi-professional mic and a basic camera.

"Ah, Logan!" A loud voice called to him from a room down the hall. Roman stepped out, waving him down.

Logan gave a half smile and walked over to Roman, nodding in greeting.

Apart from equipment, another difference could be found in appearance. Roman wore a red, flowy silk blouse, soft white slacks, and red fluffy socks. He had perfectly styled hair, flawless skin, and a dark smoky eye.

Logan's eye was caught by Roman's jewelry: the garnet ring adorning the man's right middle finger and the delicate silver ivy ear crawler beginning at his earlobe and ending at the top shell of his ear.

He stood with an air of confidence, yet a laid-back one. His motions were wide, sweeping ones, and everything he did had a sense of freedom to it.

Logan's dark clothes and stiffness were a stark contrast to the light, airy, delicate appear of Roman. Logan had a soft black polo, black jeans, and his favorite blue tie. He wore no makeup, meaning his light dusting of freckles were clearly visible.

His nervousness was obvious in his deep blue eyes, but he held himself confidently and starkly. He kept his shoulders back, his head up (it was required for the 5'5" Logan to see the 6'3" Roman), and his face calm.

"Welcome, my feisty frenemy!" Roman's voice broke through Logan's thoughts.

Logan shook his head to clear it, looking up at Roman. "Hello to you too, princey."

Roman gave him a show-stopping grin and excitedly waved him into his studio.

Logan glanced around in sheer wonder at the size of it, before going over to examine the equipment. "Jaguar, I'm impressed."

"You should be, it's the best brand in the world!" Roman exclaimed, flopping down onto one of the large fluffy beanbag chairs and gestured for Logan to join him.

Logan sank into the ine opposite Roman, setting his bag down on the fluffy ruby carpet. "So, did you have anything in mind?"

"I was thinking another go at the rap battle approach."

Logan nodded. "As I cannot sing, that appears the right way to go about it."

Roman chuckled at that. "I'm sure you can sing, Specs, you just don't try!"

"I see no point in singing."

"Its just lyrical rapping!"

Logan rolled his eyes. Roman huffed in dramatic annoyance.

"Whatever, pocket protector." He sighed for effect before sitting up and crossing his legs. "So!"

"I vote we spend the video, ah, ugh what's the term!" He mumbled the last part, flipping through his slang cards. "Aha! I believe the word is 'roasting' each other?"

Roman rolled his eyes at the card. "Such a nerd. Yes, the term is roasting. And I wholeheartedly agree!" He flashed a brilliant, heart-stopping smile Logan's way.

It truly was heart-stopping, as Logan swore he felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of it. Roman's beauty truly was out of this world, and Logan felt a slight blush rising as he thought about it. He quickly squashed those thoughts and grabbed a notebook from his bag.

"Alright then, we'll need lyrics. Or did you intend this to be freestyle?"

"Well, I think the best place to start would be with a general list of nicknames and insults, and build off that." Roman leaned forward in the beanbag chair, absentmindedly messing with the fluff on the chair as he spoke.

"I'd have to agree. That may just be the smartest thing you've ever said to me, if not ever."

Roman made an offended prince noise. "Ah! How dare you!"

Logan chuckled. "Well that was effective."

"My dear pocket protector, you may be known as Beat Teach, but I'd say you still have lots to learn, so shut up and listen, your Prince is 'boutta burn." Roman smirked.

Logan grinned, leaning back. "Burn me if you want to, Princey, I'm as cold as ice. But I must say retaliation won't be half as nice. You say you're out to kill but for you it's just a lie, the only burn you can give is your image to my eyes."

Roman stumbled a bit at that, but quickly recovered. "Say what you want, oh my logical one, but your grasp on this rap is good as done. You cannot win, you're five foot three, you're overall inferior. Just give up, submit to me, bow down before your ruler."

Logan's mind took that and ran with it. Ran right into the gutter, in fact. He blushed and stuttered, attempting to find words.

"What do you have to say for yourself, hmm?" Roman purred, leaning in very close. So close, in fact, that their lips were almost touching. Then, almost as if nothing had happened, he leaned back and flashed an award-winning, smirk-like smile.

"Well, I enjoyed that! If only we could remember what we said!"

"I have an exceptional memory," Logan said, not looking up from where he was writing them down. He kept his head down partly to write, and partly to hide his blush.

"Wonderful!" Roman beamed and clapped. "Well now, I'd say I'm starved, haven't eaten all day! Shall we eat, and then record?"

Logan closed the notebook. "I agree completely."

"Let us go forth!" Roman smiled and extended his hand in aid for Logan to stand.

Logan took it and stood, giving Roman a small, shy smile.

The two opted for Roman's Extra-Special Fantabulous Mac N Cheese, which, despite the extra name was truly 'fantabulous'. Logan made a mental note to add that word to his slang cards.

Once they finished, Roman led him back to the studio, and they wrote and recorded into the late hours of the night.

It was 11:30 when either of them noticed the time.

"Oh, Logan, you best get home!"

"I really should." He stood and got his stuff together. "For the video-"

"Don't worry about it, it'll be finished and posted tomorrow! Now, did you walk or drive here?"

"Walked."

"Then allow me to drive you home."

"You really don't have to."

"But I must!" Roman insisted. "It's dangerous for you to walk home by yourself in the dark!"

Logan sighed. "Alright. If you insist."

Roman grinned and led him out of the house and down to the garage. He opened the door of a red (car) and helped Logan in before getting in himself and speeding off.

"Goodnight, Specs!" Roman called, dropping him off in front of his apartment building.

"Goodnight to you too, Princey," Logan said in return before going inside.

As Roman went to sleep that night, he couldn't get his mind off the way he had teased Logan, the almost-kiss that had happened, and how cute the nerd was. He promised himself he'd return to the Starbucks where Logan worked the next day, just to see the cute boy's eyes light up on sight of Roman. He fell asleep with a smile on his face, thinking of what could come in the future.

Logan had similar thoughts as he fell to sleep, overthinking the almost-kiss and the teasing. His final rational thought was of Roman's dazzling smile, falling into a peaceful sleep.

What if the Sanders Sides were all real, but the videos were all pure acting?

This isn’t a new concept, but I really like it anyway. Give me some sides that while they are real, Sanders Sides is all just acting! Sure, they live in Thomas’s head, but all that conflict you see in the videos? Just for the drama! For the intrigue! For fun!

And I raise you - the sides are all actually very different to how they are on camera.

Virgil, who’s actually a confident, protective, smiley guy with a sense of humor when he’s not on camera. More like a cool, protective older brother than a dark, brooding shadowling. Smirks a lot, sings loudly to help himself stay calm in high-stress situations. Whenever he has to scowl on camera, there’s a solid 50% chance he’ll be trying to stifle a laugh through half the takes.

Roman who’s shy, giggles a lot, sings under his breath and blushes when people notice him doing so. It takes him an unbelievable amount of takes to sing super confidently on camera, but he loves it. He’s always super tired when filming is over though, the little introvert. His approach to love and Thomas’s social life is super earnest and excitable. And he loves to doodle with sparkly pens and daydream!

Patton who’s actually the exhausted mom friend. Probably sarcastically says “that was real mature” to Remus a lot. Still doesn’t approve of lying, but indulges in a lot of that type of sarcasm. Definitely makes dirty jokes. There’s a running bet to see who can make him genuinely laugh during filming, because his laughs are a little more rare than you’d think. He cares about his kiddos a lot, and he wants to help them succeed. He still makes great dad jokes, but with a completely straight face every time. No one knows how he does it.

Logan who’s talkative, smiley, bouncy, and eager to learn off-camera, always info-dumping about something new that he learned. He loves history and learning about old religions, mythology, and legends. Sometimes he’ll talk about mythology while Roman doodles the characters he talks about. They get along really well. Rarely found in pristine clothes, definitely has a writing blister and calluses from playing guitar (he finds the technique so fascinating and could talk about the science of music and music theory for hours.

Deceit who’s a total prankster instead of the conniving, scheming snake he is on camera. Can most often be found telling Logan or Roman some completely, blatantly untrue fact and chuckling as they try to figure out whether or not he’s being serious. For example: Deceit: “Logan, did you know that Napoleon had the longest legs ever recorded in medical history?” Logan, distressed, fear in his eyes: “What!?”   Loves memes and makes fun of Fox News. Would definitely have his own vlog channel if he could. And he gets along really well with all the other sides!

Remus who’s still just as crude and chaotic as ever on the inside, but is actually the most insecure of all the sides. Blurts things out without thinking and then covers his mouth, apologizing repeatedly. He and Roman are best friends and supportive brothers! They write hurt/comfort together, with Remus doing more of the hurt and Roman taking care of the comfort. Swears the most out of all the sides, so it’s not uncommon to hear Remus yell “SHIT!” and then hear Virgil yell back “WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!” 

They love each other and they’re all best friends! Patton helps Logan keep a straight face during filming, Virgil encourages Roman to sing when he’s having trouble, and they all egg Remus on when he’s on camera (they’ve had to cut out a lot of all the sides, but Dee and Virgil especially, losing their shit at Remus’s lines). Patton tries to copy parts of Roman’s and Logan’s demeanor when he’s filming, like Roman’s sweetness and Logan’s exuberance. Thomas loves his chaotic bunch, and they all love filming Sanders Sides!!

read on ao3 | @fandersfic-analogical​

—————————

Usually, overstimulation is the least of Virgil’s problems. During the day, it’s paranoia and anxiety; at night, it’s nightmares and thinking too much. Sometimes, he feels too little and he needs heavy reminders that he’s still solid and real. Feeling too much might happen in the middle of a panic attack but at that point, he’s already got so much going on, he barely notices.

He isn’t even doing anything particularly overwhelming when it hits. He’s just opening a jar of Crofter’s when something crashes above him. The noise is startlingly loud, he’s not sure what it is or where it comes from, and the sound of glass shattering on the floor at his feet doesn’t help. He grabs onto the counter, breaths coming suddenly in short gasps.

Before Virgil can even think of what to do next, Logan is standing in front of him. He’s taken one of Virgil’s hands in his own and the other is holding his elbow as he guides them towards the small dining table. He's talking, voice low and soothing, but Virgil can’t make any of the words out. Something heavy drops onto his shoulders and despite jolting in surprise at first, the sensation quickly chases away most of his nerves.

He isn't sure how much time passes before his hands are wrapped around something warm. By now, his surroundings have gone mercifully quiet. Even still, the sound of the faucet turning off makes him flinch; he hadn’t realized the white noise was the water running. Mechanically, he drinks from the mug he’s holding. By the time he’s fully settled back into himself, Logan is sitting at the table with him, going over his agenda.

“Sorry,” Virgil says automatically.

“Nothing to apologize for,” Logan reassures him.

Virgil looks to see that the jam and glass has been cleaned up, as if it never happened at all. He drinks again from his mug but the tea has gone cold. He glances up to the ceiling, trying to figure out what had set him off earlier.

“It’s the tenants above us,” Logan says, closing his planner.

Virgil realizes suddenly that Logan is sans scarf. No matter the season, Logan without fail wears his scarf in the dorms. He must be squinting, as if looking for the missing garment, because Logan just smiles.

“Rock paper scissors to see who has to go talk to them for being too loud?”

They tie on every match and it’s just more proof to Virgil that they’re meant to be, as stupid as that sounds. Yeah, might as well call Virgil a tree because boy is pining. They head out of their room, down the hall, and up the stairs. It’s not hard to find the culprits they’re looking for given that they’re still making quite a lot of noise.

Before Virgil can prepare himself for confrontation, Logan is knocking on the door.

The racket stops immediately. A few seconds later, they can hear voices going back and forth. If the students are trying to whisper, they’re failing miserably.

“What if it’s the RA?” one asks.

“Well then we’re in big trouble unless we can hide her somehow!” responds the other in far too hopeful a tone.

“Last time we did that, she knocked over my trophies shelf!”

“Yes, honey, I remember, it was barely an hour ago.”

Logan and Virgil share a look.

“We’re not the resident assistant,” Logan says loudly.

The voices quiet again.

“That sounds exactly like something a resident assistant would say!” the first one calls back.

There's the sound of footsteps approaching and Virgil can only assume they’re using the peephole to see who is at the door.

“Oh!”

Several things happen at once.

The door opens, revealing probably the softest looking individual Virgil has ever seen. Next, a blur of black darts out of the room, at Virgil’s legs, up his torso, and into the fabric wrapped around his shoulders. Finally, someone asks “isn’t that the scarf you wear all the time?”

“Aw,” coos the one who’d answered the knock. “Pixie likes you!”

“It is,” Logan replies, clearing his throat. “That is besides the point. Earlier, you made quite a commotion. We’re here to ask if you could refrain from doing so again.”

“That was not our fault!” exclaims the one wearing a thick maroon sweater that reminds Virgil of the Weasley’s.

As it is, he’s distracted plenty by the purring kitten curled up in Logan's scarf. That's a question for later, especially because if he starts thinking about how he’s wearing Logan's clothes, he’ll combust. The cat (Pixie?) is warm and soft. Virgil carefully scratches between her ears.

“Oh, I'm Patton!” says the pastel one. “They/them, please. We’re so sorry if we scared you!”

“Roman,” grumbles the redhead, “he/him. As I said already, it’s not our fault! Pixie is just… well—” He pauses to gesture at Virgil, who can hardly focus with the way it feels having the kitten rumbling against his chest like a mini-engine. “... Wily.”

“Gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her cozy up to someone so fast.” Patton says. It looks like there are stars in their eyes.

If Virgil were paying any attention, he’d notice Logan's expression looking much the same. He's still pretty out of it, though, and he’s kind of confused right now with the mischievous grin on Roman’s face.

“Come in!” Roman suggests suddenly, wrapping an arm around Patton’s waist and pulling them close to his side. “The least we could do is offer some cocoa!”

“Roman makes the best hot chocolate,” Patton says, nodding. “Besides, I don't know how easy it’ll be trying to take Pixie from you…”

“Ah, where are my manners,” Logan mutters. “Logan and Virgil, he/him for the both of us. We live just below you.”

Patton grimaces. “Oh, that must have been so loud… please let us make it up to you?”

Virgil is stepping into the room before anyone else can speak. He's still pretty transfixed by Pixie, who has started to knead the scarf with her little paws.

“I suppose we accept, then,” Logan said, sighing in a way that is exasperated and fond all at once.

Virgil sinks into the love seat in the living area, careful not to jostle Pixie. Logan hesitates, not finding anywhere else to sit.

“Apologies,” Roman says, not sounding apologetic at all. He nudges Logan closer to the only available spot. “Patton and I aren't shy about personal space.”

Logan scowls at Roman, who is grinning cheekily as he joins Patton in the kitchen. Still, he sits down next to Virgil. “She seems quite fond of you.”

“I love her,” Virgil says, hushed. He's definitely starstruck.

Logan has no warning, no time to retreat to higher ground, and so the tsunami of affection washes over him without remorse. For a moment, he drowns in his unspoken feelings; the weight of it nearly pushes him under until he has no choice but to let it all spill out, regardless of the consequences.

“Do you like marshmallows?!” Patton’s voice asks from over his shoulder.

“Loves ‘em,” Virgil answers for him. “The big ones, if you have those.”

Logan hopes the blush doesn’t look as obvious as it feels.

“Do you wanna hold her?” Virgil asks suddenly, turning finally to look at Logan. He reels back, apparently not having realized how close they were sitting.

“Sure,” Logan says, awkwardly holding his hands out.

Virgil huffs in that quiet-laugh sort of way Logan likes so much. He takes Logan's wrists and rearranges his position so that his arms are cradled against his chest. Slowly, Virgil removes Pixie from the scarf-nest and into Logan's hold. She snuffles a little before settling in the crook of his elbow.

“Oh,” Logan whispers.

“Seriously?!” They hear Roman exclaim from the archway into the kitchen. When he notices that they’ve noticed him, he jumps, and disappears from view.

Still, just because they can’t see him doesn’t mean they can’t hear him. Roman doesn’t really understand what it means to be discreet, unfortunately.

“They’re just making heart eyes at each other!” Roman hisses, sounding agonized. “I’ve known them for five minutes and even I can tell that they’re in love!”

Virgil has never felt so hot in his entire life. 

“Roman, shh,” Patton hushes him.

Logan is pretty much frozen.

Three terribly long minutes pass before Patton comes out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with four mugs on it. “I hope y’all aren’t lactose intolerant! We use milk and creamer so it’s extra smooth.”

“Hey, how come you recognized Logan's scarf?” Virgil blurts as Roman joins them.

“Well, he wears it everywhere, doesn’t he?” Roman asks, taking his mug. “At least, I’ve never seen him in the dorm building without it on.”

“Hence why everywhere isn’t entirely accurate,” Logan corrects, accepting a mug from Patton.

“Still, must mean a lot if you have it on so often. Can’t imagine you’d share it with just anybody.” Roman sips loudly from his mug, holding eye contact with Logan.

Virgil begrudgingly takes one of the drinks, knowing he can’t possibly enjoy it now that he feels like he’s dying of heatstroke.

“Well, Virgil isn’t just anybody,” Logan says simply, as if it’s obvious.

It’s a miracle Virgil doesn’t spill all over the scarf, the stupid comfortable soft thing that means a lot to Logan, which, well, what does it mean that Logan's letting him wear it now? Sure, right after the noise-induced panic attack is all fine and good, but why hasn’t he asked for it back yet?

“Kiddo, your ‘mallows are melting,” Patton stage-whispers.

Virgil takes such a big, sudden gulp of hot cocoa that he burns the roof of his mouth. “So how long have you two been roomies?” He rasps.

“Oh!” Patton exclaims, wiggling a little from where they’ve sat criss cross applesauce on the floor. “Well, for forever, really!”

“We shared a room at an orphanage,” Roman explains. “We were lucky to be adopted by neighbors, who were very kind and let us have sleepovers frequently.”

“He’s my best friend,” Patton says soppily, blowing a kiss at Roman.

“And they’re my soulmate,” Roman continues, catching the kiss and pressing it to his heart.

“Gross,” Virgil responds, sticking his tongue out.

“That is… something.” Logan says slowly, thoughts very far away as he imagines what it would have been like if he’d been lucky enough to meet Virgil earlier on in life.

“How about you two?” Patton prompts.

“Met junior year,” Virgil replies, “hit it off pretty quick.”

“When it turned out we had applied for the same colleges, it was clear some things are meant to be.”

“Did you just use a love song to describe your relationship with Virgil?” Roman asks, delighted.

“What?”

“What?” Virgil echoes.

“Ro!” Patton scolds, as if this isn’t the first time he’s had to be reprimanded for meddling.

Roman is grinning like the damn cheshire cat. Virgil is sure he’s as bright as the roses painted red and he’d very much like out of this mad cocoa party, thank you kindly.

“Well, this was fun,” he says loudly, setting his mug down on the end table. “I'm exhausted, though, good night!” And with that, he gets up (after a moment of struggling, as if the tiny couch is determined to hold him hostage) and heads for the door.

He can hear Patton scrambling up, as if to follow, but someone else is at his back first.

“It was a pleasure meeting you both. Please do keep it down in the future.”

It figures Logan would be the one to follow him out, not because they came here together or because they’re roommates or anything, but because Logan always, without fail, is there to look out for him. Oh god, Virgil is going to die.

He doesn’t realize he’s running his hands over the scarf until he’s halfway down the staircase where he misses a step and doesn’t catch the railing in time and oh good, he’s really just having the best night, isn’t he—

A hand catches the back of his sweater and pulls.

He lands hard, probably bruising his tailbone, but his elbows are caught, and instead of falling back and possibly hitting his head, he lands against something sturdy and warm. He tilts back, looking up, and, oh good, his night is getting better and better—

“Are you okay?” Logan asks breathlessly.

“What do you… am I... are you serious?”

“I’m sorry if i’ve made you uncomfortable,” Logan says sincerely, letting go now that Virgil isn’t in danger of getting hurt. Logan even scoots up a step so that Virgil can have his space. Virgil realizes he's no longer carrying Pixie, which should be obvious, but he already kinda misses her.

“L, what are you going on about?”

“Back there, some of the things I said, they were… I didn’t think them through.” He looks away, reaching towards his neck as if to fidget with something, before he remembers it isn’t there. “It’s important, though, that you… you know that I mean every word, right?”

Virgil pivots so he’s better facing Logan. They’ve been through a lot but Virgil’s not sure he’s ever seen Logan like… this. Kind of guilty and hesitant… but genuine and determined, too. Virgil just wants to kiss all the uncertainties away and he’s pretty sure that wouldn’t be a bad thing to do given how the last half hour had gone.

“We have a lot to talk about, huh?” He says with a quiet chuckle.

Logan looks relieved and then, confused—

“You don’t have to—”

Virgil leans in close as he puts Logan's scarf back on for him. “I think you could use it more right now than me.”

He stands up, wincing a little, before holding his hands out for Logan to take. He does so and Virgil tries not to blush too hard. “Are we gonna have to thank the noisy drama nerd for pushing us in the right direction?”

Logan pulls himself up with Virgil’s help. “I believe doing so would inflate his ego quite dangerously. It’s probably best we don’t encourage him.”

Virgil does a poor job of trying to conceal his laughter. It just makes Logan's stomach flip. He supposes there’s no hope of getting used to that sensation now. Virgil only lets go of one of his hands as he begins to lead the rest of the way downstairs and back to their dorm. Logan can’t seem to keep the smile off of his face, wondering if hand holding will become a new pastime of theirs… he certainly can’t wait to find out.

You Can’t Lie To Me

Read it on ao3!

Warnings: sympathetic deceit, depression

Genre: hurt comfort

Parings: patceit

Patton is having a bad day and doesn’t know why. Deceit on the other hand? Deceit knows.

Words: 737

Patton laid on his bed face down. He hadn’t gone out to make breakfast that morning. He was supposed to. He was the one who always made breakfast. Today was pancake day, none of the others knew how to make pancakes. He was letting them all down. He just... he couldn’t bring himself to get up. He didn’t know why he felt like this. There was no reason for it. He couldn’t explain why he cried himself to sleep last night. He had no reason for why he woke up feeling empty. He was usually good at hiding it. If he felt bad, he could hide it with a smile and a few jokes. No one ever knew any differently.

“Well hello there Morality,” a taunting voice drawled from the corner. “Contemplating lying, are we? That’s not very moral,” Deceit leaned against the light blue wall. His yellow-green scales seemed out of place amongst the hundreds of stuffed animals.

“N-no...” Patton mumbled.

Deceit clucked his tongue like a disappointed mother, “Now now Patton, I thought you said lying is bad, why ever would you lie? Especially to me?”

Patton didn’t look up. He bit back tears, knowing Deceit was right. He mumbled an apology, burying his face in his pillow. Now not only had he upset Virgil, Roman, and Logan by not making breakfast, he’d upset Deceit by lying. He was the worst side. Thomas didn’t need him, the others could do his job fine-

“Stop,” Deceit said, his voice stern, but concerned. “Stop lying to him.” Patton didn’t know who he was talking to. They were the only two in the room. Deceit only grew more alarmed as whatever he had told to leave clearly had stayed. Patton’s tears fell harder. Soon, his pillow was wet and he was shaking, unable to control his pain. He hated crying, it meant he couldn’t take care of the others. He was the dad, he was supposed to take care of them. He couldn’t just abandon them. That’s what he was doing-

“I said stop,” Deceit hissed. Patton looked up, confused and worried. Deceit’s forked tongue flicked in and out of his mouth as he glared at the space beside Patton. The moral trait turned, only to see empty air and the wall behind his bed.

“Dee there’s no one here..?” Patton furrowed his brow. Deceit pulled the mirror off the closet door and held it sideways.

“Look. In the mirror. At that spot.”

Patton did as he was told, and tried not to scream. Lurking at the foot of his bed was what appeared to be him, but wrapped in a black smoke, with solid black eyes.

“Wh-What.... D-Dee who is that...?”

“That is your Dark Side. Depression.” Deceit was still glaring at the demonic figure.

“Oh now really Deceit, you needn’t call names. We all know you’re still bitter.” The air crackled as the disembodied voice spoke. It was one Patton had only heard in his thoughts before. He shrieked and scrambled to Deceit, cowering behind the snake-like side.

“I’ve accepted my fate. You would do well to accept yours. An outcast. Hated. Not wanted. There is no purpose to your existence.”

“Describing yourself now, are you?”

Deceit hissed. “Get out.”

With a dark, malevolent chuckle the Dark Side faded from view. “I’ll be back~”

Patton trembled as Deceit set down the mirror. He hoped That Depression would stay gone. He didn’t register that Deceit was hugging him until he heard the side murmur reassuringly in his ear. Patton looked at him, embarrassed. “I-I.... I’m sorry...”

Deceit shook his head. “Nothing to be sorry for my love,” he hadn’t realized he said it, the words slipped out without him thinking. Patton though, Patton did notice.

“Love?” Suddenly Deceit’s face turned red, his scales included. His eyes widened.

“I Uh- Uh...”

Patton shook his head with a smile. “It’s okay Dee,” he laid his head on Deceit’s shoulder. “I love you too.” He’d been scared to admit it, so he’d always pushed the other away. But saying it, and knowing Dee felt the same? It felt like someone had relit the fire in his heart, and he burned with happiness.

Deceit smiled softly and pushed a lock of hair out of Patton’s face. “Good?”

Patton nodded, smiling as Dee began to gently sway to a silent melody. “Good,” he said quietly. And for once, he truly meant it.

AN: This fic is half venting, half… well, no, actually, it’s all venting. Part two coming soon. Enjoy!

Patton had always sort of known that he wasn’t in love.

He’d always romanticized what his first real relationship would be like. They would be friends first, of course, maybe in the same class or he’d be a neighbor from a few doors down. It would be a little awkward at first, but they’d slowly begin to sort out their affections for each other. Maybe a few months after meeting, they’d both realize how much the other meant to them, writing it off as the bond of best friends and nothing more. Then, a few weeks after that, they’d both realize that they blushed whenever the other was around, and that they really wanted to kiss and hold hands in the hallways and say ‘my boyfriend’ instead of ‘my friend.’

Patton would never be bold enough to make the first move, of course, so they’d dance around each other for a while and eventually, maybe over a late-night phone call, they’d both confess and their happily ever after would start.

The first “I love you” was supposed to be a big deal. Bigger than the confession, bigger than the first kiss, bigger than anything. And yes, maybe they would have said it as friends, but it would mean something different now. Something beautiful.

Somewhere deep inside of him, Patton knew he was an optimist. He told himself he’d settle for less than his vision, because you didn’t need perfection to have love.

Then, he started getting impatient.

He was 15 and still single, which wasn’t unusual in the slightest, but Patton didn’t like it. He already felt behind, being the only one who never talked about their partner at lunch, the only one who never got surprise gifts from a lover (graphic pencils were very popular), the only one who didn’t have anyone to blush and giggle about. His friends flew through relationships, breaking up with X and flirting with Y and kissing Z, their status constantly changing but never the dreaded ‘single.’

Things kept changing all around him when he moved from his hometown. He and his old friends lost contact, and he was lonelier than ever. Not only did he not have a lover… he didn’t have anyone. To say he was simply lonely would be a gross understatement. His chest was hollow, the romantic fantasy he’d been cooking up in his head echoing hopelessly off of his ribs until it was almost too faint to make out. Then, he met Logan.

Well, he didn’t exactly meet Logan. He stumbled across a boy online who went by the name ‘Logic’ and ended his sentences with periods and used proper punctuation in all of his texts. He made Patton… happy? They had a thing or two in common, and when Logan would flirt subtly, Patton would flirt back. He didn’t know if he liked him, but they were around the same age and Patton would rather be unsure than alone.

Because, as he would repeat to himself time and time again, you didn’t need perfection to have love.

He claimed to a not-really-friend once in a group call that he had the biggest crush on Logan, knowing full well that he was in the call and may or may not be asleep. Not the private, loving, late-night confession that he’d dreamed of, but it would do. It worked, at the very least, because soon Patton was accepting Logan’s heartfelt confession and had a boyfriend.

It was everything Patton had dreamed of. Yes, alright, maybe it did make him uncomfortable when Logan would talk about what the pair of them would do as they spent the rest of their lives together, but he wasn’t about to just say that. Not to the man who was his only hope of filling that chasm in his chest. And, okay, it did bother him a little bit that all of their conversations were public, only in group chats where people could butt in whenever to say that they were cute and keep the conversation going. It bothered him that Logan never texted first. It bothered him that Logan responded to his excited messages only with “mhm,” “nice,” and “yeah,” and maybe the occasional full sentence if he was lucky. It bothered him that he could go days at a time not thinking of Logan at all, only to mentally beat himself up as he sent a hurried “Good morning, babe! <3 <3” to make up for lost time.

What really bothered him, though, more than anything else, was how flippantly they exchanged the phrase “I love you.”

It was painfully obvious to Patton that he wouldn’t get the tender moment of first love that he’d dreamed of. He’d only said it because Logan had said it and he didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, and even then, it was said it the way someone would say, “I like your shoes” as they passed you in an H&M. Meaningless. A formality.

He hated it.

They lived halfway across the country from each other, Patton would reason. They just hadn’t had enough time to really build that intimacy. Once they met and could kiss and cuddle and hold hands like Patton had always dreamed, then he would be sure. They would have a moment that was special, an “I love you” that would set Patton’s heart aflame and make him positive that Logan was the one.

Then, it happened. By a twist of fate, they found themselves in the same city at the same time. They held hands, they hugged, they smiled and shared laughs over dirty water hot dogs and flat sodas and rain, just like in the movies. Patton had expected to be sure then. To look over at Logan and be able to say “I love you” and mean it.

But he couldn’t. He said it, yes, over and over again as he forced bright smiles to distract from the way his voice trembled over every word, whispered it like a mantra as he ordered himself to try and feel something… but in the end, they parted ways, and nothing changed.

They spoke less and less, and Patton had the sinking feeling that Logan knew how empty the “I love you’s” were too. They weren’t even a formality anymore, it seemed. They were a chore. Something he was required to do to placate the man he said he adored but somehow barely knew. The distance grew even though neither of them seemed to move an inch. Patton once told Logan how much the disconnect bothered him - how they never talked, not really, how he felt like the relationship was one-sided, and he wanted to make it something beautiful for both of them.

Logan had apologized, blamed himself until Patton was apologizing for even bringing it up, and then proceeded to carry on the way they always had.

Distant. Fake. Empty.

But Patton stayed, because maybe this was what love was supposed to be like. After all, as he would remind himself as he took a deep breath to calm the dread building in his stomach, you didn’t need perfection to have love.

When Patton realized that he wasn’t in love with Logan at all, he panicked. Internally, mind you. He didn’t scream or cry or hyperventilate, but he panicked. Eight months of telling this man he loved him, eight months of promising up and down to build a life together, eight months of nothing that he’d kept trying to turn into something, and now he was realizing that all of it had been fake. All of it. Every “I love you,” every confession, every promise.

As his stomach churned, made uneasy by the dizzying speed of the thoughts running through Patton’s mind, he asked himself why? All he’d done this whole time was lead Logan on, right? All those times he’d convinced himself he was in love because he was lonely, because he was afraid of hurting Logan, because what else was he supposed to do when Logan swore that Patton was his reason to live, his light, his star, his love.

But… you didn’t need perfection to have love, right? That was true. Absolutely true. Patton didn’t need perfection.

But maybe he needed the love part.

Logan was angry when Patton broke it off. Which was fair, he decided. He didn’t like some of the furious, guilt-trippy things Logan fired at him over text, sure, but he had a right to be angry. Patton, his boyfriend, was breaking up with him. That was a good reason to be upset.

Patton hated himself when he felt free. When he felt joy at the prospect of never having to lie and say “I love you” to Logan again. However, he hated himself even more when every “I love you” brought him back to Logan.

I can’t say it. I’m a liar. A dirty liar. A player. A slut. I can’t trust my own brain, I don’t even know what it means, I-

He was the bad guy. The person who had broken it off. Who cared if he’d been unhappy, he should have stayed for Logan’s sake. Kept saying “I love you” until he could at least pretend it was true. At 16 years old, Patton was entirely convinced that he was a monster.

If this godforsaken town has one thing going for it, it’s Patton Hart. He is sweet, and handsome, and mesmerizing. From the light floppy sun hats to the pastel spaghetti strap dresses; from his strawberry blond curls to the sharp emerald green of his eyes; from the sure swift grace he moves with and the mischievous smile he hides behind his hand. There is confidence in Patton that makes Roman wonder if he really isn’t from the city, if he truly has been born and raised out here in wheat fields and sunflower plains. 

They meet when Roman is sixteen. He and his mother have only just moved to Iowa and don't get him wrong, he'd go to the ends of the Earth for his mom, but did her job really have to transfer her to the middle of nowhere? Roman isn’t sure this tiny little town even knows what Starbucks was. There’s one grocery store, one gas station, a library that also doubles as the cinema which makes absolutely no sense, and an ice cream parlor. They have an ice cream parlor but they don’t have stable WiFi and what was the gosh darn ding dang point of a cute, aesthetic ice cream parlor if he can’t post on Instagram about it? 

Roman had been hoping it'd take some time to explore his new home, to get to know the lay of the land, but it really only takes him a day and a half, and that is only because they arrived late in the evening. It isn’t until after Roman has the streets memorized (which isn’t difficult given that there are about nine of them) that he stops in at Scoops 'n Smiles. He thinks it a stupid name but then again, most of this town is still stupid to him, because he’s still bitter about living in it. 

It all gets a whole less stupid when a greeting rings out to him as he steps inside.

*

Roman might not know anything about the cute employee behind the counter but the cute employee behind the counter certainly knows plenty about Roman. It is such a small town, after all, and word spreads fast. He’s a city boy, out here with his mama, and so far he’s been nothing but polite, if not a little grumpy. Neither of them would admit it until they’d been engaged for five months, eight days, and thirteen hours - but the love at first sight is entirely mutual. 

Roman approaches the counter with a spring in his step and stars in his eyes. Patton had smiled coyly at him. 

“Hiya, welcome to Scoops ’n Smiles,” Patton would say sweetly. 

Roman would choke (“your accent,” he’d explain later, “god, you were so cute.”) and Patton would find his stammering endearing. They’re only sixteen but Patton has never been so sure of something in his life. He’d marry this boy, if the fates would allow it. 

Maybe Patton hands Roman a napkin with his ice cream, despite there being a dispenser at the counter beside the spoons. Maybe it has Patton’s phone number written on it. Maybe Patton winks at Roman as he leaves, gripping his cone so tightly it is close to crumbling. Maybe Patton screams into a dish towel the moment the parlor is empty again.

*

Their first date is, not to put it loosely, magical. Roman learns quickly that anything is magical where Patton was involved. They go out to the lake. It’s a beautiful day, sunny and bright and warm. Patton is wearing a sundress in a shade of blue that matches the sky. Roman wears the wrong pair of shoes and they are caked in mud by the end of the day, but that’s alright. 

The stars are sparkling brighter than Roman has ever seen, laying in the bed of Patton’s truck beside the barley fields and green pastures. Lightning bugs flit in and out of view, the air is cool on his skin, and Patton is telling him all about the constellations.

“How d’you know so much?” Roman asks. 

“My cousin taught me when he visited last year,” Patton answers, turning to look at Roman, and smiling, smiling so sparkling and pretty that the stars no longer compare. “I’m pretty sure he used it to do the same thing I’m doing.” 

“And what’s that?” 

“Trying to impress a boy he liked.” 

Patton tastes like strawberry ice cream and vanilla chapstick. Roman doesn’t see it, given he’s so very focused on kissing Patton (kissing Patton!), but a shooting star streaks across the sky, and it really all might as well be made for movies.

*

Let it be known that Patton is never one to be outdone. He throws himself into his projects and his friendships and his work. His pa tells him to be careful about giving and giving and giving, that he has to slow down sometimes. Patton thinks that silly; how could he ever do that when he has so much love and energy bottled up inside, so much that he feels like he might burst with it? Roman matches him here and it is exhilarating. City boy is outgoing and adventurous and go go go. It feels so good to finally have someone that can keep up. 

What could possibly go wrong when Patton has someone as wonderful and sincere and bright as Roman at his side? 

Winter is approaching and so the town is celebrating its autumn harvest. They do this at the end of every season and it’s Roman's first time attending one. There are games and prizes, treats and cider, and when the cleared space for a dance floor is glowing with moonlight, and the band is at full swing, Roman takes Patton by the hands, swinging and spinning him around. 

By the end of the night, the fireflies dancing and the silver moon sparkling, Roman will press a kiss to Patton's lips and murmur breathlessly "I love you." 

Never one to be outdone, Patton will return it, and he'll continue with hushed compliments, and light pecks anywhere he can reach, and by the end, Roman will be as red as the changing leaves.

*

If Roman had known he'd only have two years, he'd have done more with his time. He'd have confessed his love sooner, he'd have made sure to take more photos, he'd have done better.  

It’s at the broken treehouse and working tire swing that they've taken to spending their free mornings at. Patton is wearing his favorite sun hat, the one with the flowers. Roman’s pushing him on the swing, soaking in the sound of his laughter and the warm unfiltered sunlight. He doesn’t want to go. 

They sit down for a picnic, looking at an old map Patton's dad had given them, one marked with trails and clearings and lakes. The idea of spending his summer with Patton exploring and hiking sounds so much better than going back to concrete skyscrapers and smog. He doesn’t want to go.  

"I have to go." 

Patton looks at him curiously. 

"Home, I mean."

"You are home," Patton assures him. 

"I -" and it's all Roman can say before tears are stinging at the corners of his eyes. 

Patton's expression crumbles and he hurries to pull Roman into his arms, shushing him, and pressing kisses to the top of his head, and running a hand up and down his back. Somehow, it doesn’t help.

*

The following three years are dreadful. They are boring and slow and lonely and Patton finally understands what his pa meant by taking it easy. He can’t work at Smiles ’n Scoops without remembering this is where he met the love of his life, he can’t attend harvest festivals without recalling the way Roman had blushed so prettily after their first I love you, he can’t look at the broken treehouse in the park without remembering the way it had felt to hold a crying, trembling Roman in his arms. 

Sure, there are letters and texts and video calls. They don’t compare to the way Roman’s hand fits perfectly in his. The freckles Roman had earned from all his time in the sun fade the longer he is back in the city. His hair is darker and there are bags under his eyes and Patton wonders if it is because it’s so noisy there; he can hear it through the phone sometimes. 

Roman does get better, over time. He gets used to the noise and the monotone colors and it is almost like he was never in Iowa to begin with. That doesn’t mean anything, though, because three years and eight months and two weeks later, he’s packed everything he owns, and he moves back home. 

Home is where the heart is after all. More accurately, home is where the Hart is. 

Maybe he keeps it a secret. Maybe he meets up with Patton's father and asks for his blessing. Maybe the entire town is on the same page for once and doesn’t spread the word. Maybe Patton doesn’t see Roman sneaking up on him at the autumn harvest festival. 

Maybe when Patton turns around, Roman is behind him on one knee. Maybe when they kiss this time, it is with shaking hands and tears of joy and a ring that sparkles like the silver moon.

*

Five months, eight days, and thirteen hours into being engaged and Roman is still as hopelessly smitten as he has been since day one. He’s helping Patton to figure out his new phone. Somehow, Patton’s had the same iPhone 5 for over seven years, and it was still in perfect working condition. There wasn’t a scratch or dent on it, not once had it needed to be factory reset. When Roman asks how Patton does it (because Roman has gone through at least four phones), Patton says sweetly, like the way he does the day they met: 

“I take care of the things I love.” 

And it should just be something Patton says but nothing Patton ever says is just something and someone might as well be crowing “one hit KO” because Roman is down for the count. 

“I loved you at first sight,” Patton sighs, as if Roman isn’t already dead. “I said to the fates, I’m going to marry that boy.” 

Roman falls over, swooning onto Patton’s lap. The harvest festivals see them on the moonlit dance floor less often, too busy staying curled up beside each other. “Dearheart, please have mercy.” 

Patton grins mischievously and leans over to press a kiss to Roman's lips. There are fireflies dancing around him and his strawberry blond curls look like they're glowing. "Now why ever would I do that?" 

And if Roman confesses beneath the milky twilight to Patton, too, that he'd fallen in love at first sight, hoping to fluster his fiancé (his fiancé!) in return, well... Patton is never one to be outdone.

Complete

Synopsis: Patton is aromantic, and that's more than okay.

Word Count: 843

Warnings: There’s a paragraph about food, but it’s all in one place so you can skip it if you need to.

~~*~~*~~

Patton loves his friends. He loves them so much he feels he could almost burst from the overwhelming emotions. From that happiness that bubbles up in his chest and warms his soul whenever he meets one of them after too long spent apart, or when they surprise him with a tight hug. Or when they're all together, playing games, watching movies, or simply enjoying each other's company, and he looks around and feels his heart swell with joy at just spending time with them.

And so what if the love he feels is never romantic? If he doesn’t even know how romantic love would feel? He has no need for romantic love, not when his platonic love for them all runs so deep and so true.

Patton finds so much in the world to love, in so many different ways. He loves the way puppies wriggle gleefully when he rubs their bellies, and the way their tails wag their whole bodies with enthusiasm. The way their ears flap when they run fast, and the way they leap and bounce with excitement when they play. Really, he loves everything there is about puppies.

And then there are cats! With their velvet-soft fur and the contented motor sound of their purring. To Patton, the chance to make a cat happy will always be worth the sniffles and itchy eyes his allergy brings.

He loves the blue of the sky on a clear day and the soft warmth of sunshine on his skin. Long walks ending in picnics, or lazy days spent relaxing on the beach. Gardening, and then enjoying a cool drink among the bright colours and fragrances of the flowers.

But he also loves the rain! The sound of it drumming against the windows when he’s safe and warm inside, and the freshness of the air after a storm. The way each leaf sparkles with droplets, and the radiant colours of the rainbow.

When he gets to experience winter beyond Florida’s warm borders, he relishes the crunch of fresh snow under his boots and the fluffiness of it in his hands. The glint of sunlight on icicles, and the cosiness of fuzzy winter sweaters and curling up near an open fire as the early darkness falls outside.

And then there’s food! So many favourite flavours that make him fall in love with every mouthful. Cakes and cookies: chocolate chip, triple chocolate, red velvet, and even the oatmeal raisin cookies that Roman refuses to touch. And as if all the sweet delights weren’t enough to satisfy him, there are so many savoury ones to enjoy! The tang of pizza, hot or cold, and the soft-firmness of pasta seasoned with a love that doesn’t need romance to make it taste delicious.

But most of all, more than anything else in the whole world, Patton loves his famILY. He loves the way Logan’s eyes light up when he gets to share information on a topic he’s passionate about. The way he fiddles with his necktie when he’s flustered, and his hesitant, awkward, yet heartfelt apologies when he realises he’s unintentionally hurt someone’s feelings. The thought he puts into gifts for them when words alone cease to be enough.

Patton loves Virgil’s small, amused smiles when he thinks that no one’s watching, and those rare but precious laughs he can’t quite manage to suppress – especially when they’re at one of Patton’s jokes. And he loves the deep and genuine caring Virgil shows in his own subtle ways, and his determination to protect them all even at his own expense.

And then, of course, there's Roman. Roman with his boldness, his loud gestures, his dramatic flair and theatricality that liven up every conversation. But also those softer, quieter moments when he ceases to be Roman-the-prince, or Roman-the-actor, and becomes simply Roman-the-friend. Patton loves his big dreams and his big heart, his passion and his devotion.

And as for Thomas… Patton feels so proud of him every day, a father’s pride in one he has watched grow and blossom since the day he was born. Patton sees how hard he tries, how much he cares for his fans and his abiding devotion to each one of his many friends. Of course he loves Thomas, how could he not? As a father, as a friend, and as his own emotional heart. A love beyond words.

Patton is aromantic, but every day he falls in his own kind of love with the sunrise or the sunset, with the music of his favourite TV show or the colours of his favourite clothes. With Roman’s swirling cursive and the timbre of his voice. With the steady rhythm of Logan’s typing and his unconscious murmuring of facts as he works. With Virgil’s soft humming, his sweater paws, and his inner strength. Patton watches over them all with a soft smile and a platonic love strong enough to conquer even the melancholy feelings that life still brings him sometimes.

Patton is aromantic, and with his heart overflowing with so much love, he will always be complete.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was one of those nights again. Logan sat back in his seat, watching the prince dance across the stage. He was supposed to man the lights, but this was only a test run and they all knew what they had to do when anyway. Besides, he loved to hear Roman sing. And surely Virgil could man the light switches as well, for just one moment...

That moment quickly turned into a couple minutes. Those turned into half an hour, which turned into a full hour, and before Logan knew what had happened, he had watched the entire play. Mr. Sanders shot a disapproving look at the booth of the lighting crew, but his gaze softened when he saw the nerd sitting in the last row with such a star-struck expression. On stage the actors bowed, blinking angrily into the still too bright light, before the curtains closed, the spotlights turning off a bit later.

Behind the stage Virgil collapsed against the wall, panting heavily and readily accepting a water bottle from his boyfriend Patton.

Mr. Sanders turned the ceiling lights back on and clapped his hands. “Alright folks, ten minute break for everyone, then we'll talk!“

Relieved babbling filled the room as the stage to go drink something. Logan leaned against the wall next to his strategically placed backpack. (Next to Romans, of course)

The boy, still in his prince costume, arrived and leaned down to rummage through his own bag for his bottle. He was gleaming in the soft light, face and hair glistening with sweat. As he came up to take a sip, he ran his hand through his hair to keep the locks out of his face.

Logan took a breath to ready himself, focusing on appearing cool on the outside, and pushed himself off the wall, taking a step towards Roman.

“You did a good job today.“

Roman's head snapped up and he pressed a hand to his chest, eyes wide and breathing quick. “Logan!“, he gasped accusingly.

Logan smirked a bit. “I apologise, my dear prince Roman. I simply came to congratulate my friend on his performance.“

Roman smiled at him. “I'm flattered, my dear nerd“ - at this his smile turned into a grin - “Though I'm afraid I cannot say the same about you.“ He sat down, moving their bags aside to make room, and patted the space next to him.

With a sigh Logan sat down next to him: “I wish I could hear you sing more often...“ He rested his head on the taller boy's shoulder. Roman blushed a little at his next words: “You have a gorgeous voice.“

“W-Well, maybe V could-“, he tried.

“No. You've seen what would happen if Mr. S gave him another task. We can't ask that of him.“

Roman nodded slowly, thinking for a moment, before the grin returned to his face. With gentle fingers he gripped the nerds chin and tilted his face up to look at him.

“Well, I guess I'll just have to show you then... My place, tomorrow after school?“

Now it was Logans turn to blush. Hesitantly he nodded. “O-Okay...“

“Great, then it's a date!“ Roman let go of his face just in time for Mr. Sanders to clap his hands again, demanding their attention.

A Dress and a Smile

 Logan stitched on the final button and then sat back to admire his work. Finally, it was done. After Virgil gifted him an entire collection of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, Logan knew he couldn’t just give him a simple thank you. So he went to Patton.

 Patton happily showed him a few gifts he thought might be suitable for Virgil, but Logan had another idea. 

“Do you remember the idea you had for “couple” dresses, a few months prior?” Patton smiled and pulled two mannequins into the room.

“I finished me and Roman’s a while back. I’ve been looking for an excuse to wear them.” 

Logan thanked him and set to work. He wanted to make the dresses suitable for both their tastes. The first design was too Virgil, and the second too Logan. The third finally meshed both the logical side’s and the anxious side’s styles perfectly. The dress had a plaid undershirt in purple and black with a vest over top. The skirt was blue, full and ruffled. 

Logan grinned and wrapped both dresses up and brought them to the living room where Patton had brought their boyfriends.

“Patton and I have been talking and we decided to give both of you a gift as a representation of our appreciation,” Logan stated and then gave a small smile. “Also because we love and care about you two.”

Patton grabbed the wrapped dresses and gave the other couple’s dresses to Logan. Logan turned to Virgil and handed the gift to him.“For you my starlight.”

Virgil unwrapped the dress as Logan did the same. “Wow L. I love it!” He gave his boyfriend a hug and left to go try the dress on.

Logan turned to Patton. “Thank you for your help.” 

The moral side smiled back at him. “No prob Logan. Besides we did this together, even Steven.”

Logan flipped through his vocab cards and then nodded. “Regardless, thank you.”

Virgil and Roman came back into the room. Logan smiled and went to go talk with his boyfriend.

Forever Starts Now

Roman sat in his car, his hands loose on the wheel as he looked over the front of his home, their home…knowing Patton was inside and waiting for him. He wondered what it was Patton was cooking, what scents he would walk into tonight, what music his boyfriend would be playing.

The morning replayed in his head, just as it usually did when he got home, the sleepy way Patton smiled at him as he woke up. The soft and playful whine as Patton tried to keep Roman trapped in bed, before accepting Roman pulling him out of bed. The warmth of the kitchen as Roman brewed them coffee and Patton made pancakes.

Roman took a deep breath and turned the car off, leaning back in his seat as he smiled to himself. It wasn’t always easy for the pair of them, Roman had expected that. Becoming exclusive young, moving in together…that came with seperate hardships and struggles. But nothing ever felt like a ‘fight’. Not in the traditional sense.

No matter what he did, Roman couldn’t quite recall how it all started. High school? Where they studied together and experimented with being gay (and discovered they were both very gay) and started being more physically affectionate? Was it college? When Roman had asked Patton to move in with him after his parents died and left him the house, or when Patton dropped out to join culinary school?

He couldn’t remember. But when he did know was that the love they’d foster had grown so slowly and so deep…Roman knew nothing could uproot it.

Roman snickered as he remembered Roman’s ex-boyfriend, the man who had held Patton’s heart through college and ultimately broken it. They’d been a fairly good match, admittedly, but there was something they had both been missing from the relationship. And even now, Patton wasn’t able to explain what it was Roman gave that Logan couldn’t.

Roman smiled as he opened his car door and stepped out, stretching his arms above his head and yawning as he pulled his gym bag out of the car and slung it over his shoulder. He had an audition in a few days and keeping his peak physical form was important! And…well, he was bored at the office. He wanted to follow his passion, dang it, and Patton was more than supportive.

Temp work only kept Roman so entertained.

But…there was an ulterior motive for spending most of his time at the gym too. He needed the extra time to find the perfect…gift for his Patton Puffball. And he’d found it.

Temp work didn’t exactly pay well enough to pay it off straight away, but weeks of overtime and shorter gym sessions meant he finally had it.

He settled his hand loosely around it as he unlocked the front door and stepped inside. He had finally worked it off and now, it was his.

The soft sound of familiar laughter and the smell of spices floated through the air as Roman closed the door and stepped into the main living space. A familiar face turned to him, looking healthier that Roman had ever seen it, familiar black eyeshadow smeared under his eyes.

“Oof, Roman, what killed and resurrected you?” Virgil teased as he nursed a mug of tea, his hands pale as they held the mug tightly.

“The gym dragon.” he teased back and Logan stood, beaming when he saw Roman.

“Ro!” Logan wrapped an arm around his neck and Roman hugged him tightly back, “It’s so good to see you! We were hoping to surprise you.”

Roman chuckled and let go, beaming as Patton flitted up behind him and hugged tightly, “Hey baby!” he chirped, nuzzling his back, “Mm, gym shirt. Favourite.” he teased and Roman rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” he blew a raspberry, “Did you text me about these guys dropping by?”

Patton gasped, “No! I forgot!”

Roman chuckled and kissed his hair, “Only asking because I didn’t check.” Patton giggled as he let Roman go, “Lemme shower and get comfy.”

Patton stretched onto his toes to kiss Roman, “Okey dokey! Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes!” he called as Roman leapt the stairs two at a time.

Any other night and Roman would have taken his time in the shower, working out fatigue in his muscles and enjoying the warm bliss, and probably luring Patton in with him in the process. But tonight…tonight two of his best friends were here and he had an important question to ask Patton.

One had been thinking of for a long time.

He changed into comfortable sweatpants and a t-shirt, rolling his eyes when Virgil whistled in playfully, and tossed a pillow at his best friend as he laughed.

Roman cornered Patton against the stove, kissing his temple and breathing in the food deeply, “Smells delicious, baby.” he whispered, holding his boyfriend close against his chest and feeling small rivers of tension flood out of Patton’s body, “I…have an important question to ask you later.” he whispered.

Patton smiled warmly, “Is it okay if the boys are here while you do?” he asked softly.

He nuzzled his temple, “You know I don’t mind an audience.” he teased, pulling Patton back from the stove to twirl him into a short dance, “Not when I’m showering you in love.”

Patton giggled and blushed brightly, throwing his arms around Roman’s neck and kissing him deeply, “Then it’s my turn to give back.”

Roman chuckled and nuzzled his hair, kissing over Patton’s face and letting him go, “Now, I’ll go entertain our unwanted guests!” he teased, copping a pillow from Logan as he stepped around the couches and he laughed warmly.

As usual, dinner with the whole gang was a warm affair. Virgil sent quips all over, Logan spewed plenty of facts, and Patton had lots of stories and puns to share.

Roman decided to ask when dinner was over and absorbing while everyone joined for a movie. Logan huffed that they hadn’t even really intended to stay for dinner, but Virgil silenced his protest by pulling him onto the couch.

When Virgil felt cuddly, Logan didn’t protest.

Roman smirked as the menu for the movie played, catching Patton’s hand before he moved to sit down, “Baby, I need to ask that question now.” he whispered, squeezing his hand lightly, and letting Patton set down the bowl of popcorn and soda.

“Yeah, baby? What is it?”

Roman swallowed hard, practically feeling Virgil’s smirk, “I couldn’t quite figure out where or how our relationship started.” he said softly as Patton looked up at him confused, “But I…know I want it to go further.” he kissed Patton’s knuckles, “So,” Roman slowly got down on knee, staring up at Patton as his eyes widened, “Patton, will you marry me?”

Logan gasped loudly, frantically clinging to Virgil as he snickered but grinned proudly at Roman, trying to calm his nerd down with soft reassurance. Roman had expected Logan to get excited, but he was almost shaking Virgil as he vibrated.

“Roman…” Patton whispered, squeezing his hand, and reaching into his pocket, “You stole my line.” he teased, showing his own velvet box as Roman stared with eyes wide.

“No way!” he beamed, “Wait so, that means-?”

Virgil huffed, “It’s obviously a yes, Princey!”

“Yes, Ro.” Patton answered warmly, “Of course I’ll marry you!”

Roman swept Patton up into a hug, spinning him as they laughed and hugged, letting Patton slip down to his feet but getting caught in a kiss as he did.

“You haven’t answered my question.” Patton teased.

“Yes. You own my heart, my love, of course!”

Roman tried to shake the jitters out of his shoulders as he stood at the end of the aisle, waiting for the door to open. It had taken them a while to get here, to the actual wedding, with plenty of teasing jabs from Virgil about how dumb Roman was that he hadn’t seen that Patton wanted to propose…

But at least Logan had his back, since Patton hadn’t known either.

Seeing Patton step down that aisle, given away by his father Thomas, made tears wriggle free and he just wanted to pull him into that kiss now, sweep him away and into the car.

“You look beautiful.” he whispered, holding Patton’s hands gently in his, helping push back the veil as Patton stared up at him with wide and teary eyes.

“You look stunning.” Patton whispered back, eyes round and full of love, grinning up at Roman as he jittered with the same excitement as Roman.

“I can’t stand the thought of losing you.” The words tumbled out before Roman had really thought about it, but Patton squeezed his hands and grinned even brighter.

“Who said I ever intended on going anywhere?” he whispered back, turning to the minister as he began to speak.

“Can - Can I go?”

Read it on ao3

Each of the sides makes up a part of Thomas’s gender. Every so often, even the prince deals with the pain of dysphoria.

Trigger warning: dysphoria, crying, feeling trapped

Roman flinched slightly when Thomas said his name. When Thomas said he when he said princey. That wasn’t right. It was too masculine, and today the nonbinary part of Roman, the part of him that was agender, was not appreciative of anything related to the masculine part. “Roman. My name is Roman,” the creative aspect said. Virgil looked at him sideways, and Roman could tell the anxious bean knew what was wrong. Roman knew Virgil usually was like this, it was why he wore a hoodie. Roman, unfortunately, couldn’t exactly go change in the middle of a video.

Thomas gave Roman a curious look before he continued, but it wasn’t long before the video was over. To Roman it felt like ages. He sank into his room faster than he ever had before. Everyone noticed. Roman was summoned back to the living room before he had a chance to change.

“What’s wrong?” Thomas asked.

“Why would something be wrong, Thomas?” Roman asked. “I’m your Creativity, you romance, your prince, your knight in shining armor. Why do you think that something is wrong?”

“Because one, you stuttered. Two, you looked very uncomfortable during the video. Three, I know you Princey. I am you.” Roman flinched.”What’s wrong?”

Roman sighed. “I..... you are one person. You have one gender. We’re all only a part of you so... we only have a part of a gender...”

“You guys are all demiboys? Like Talyn?” Thomas looked confused. Roman nodded, not meeting his host’s eyes. They had all agreed that Thomas wouldn’t know about this. Logan would be furious. “So you.... are you dysphoric or something?” Roman nodded again. “And me calling you Princey made it worse...? That’s why you told me your name.”

“Yes...” Roman sighed. “You wouldn’t expect a demiboy who can have any body he chooses to be dysphoric, heheh...” Roman rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed. “I’m sorry...”

“You don’t have to be sorry, Roman. If anyone owes an apology it’s me. I assumed that you were just a boy, and so I didn’t think using masculine coded words would be much of an issue. I should have asked, not assumed. That was my fault. I’m sorry.”

Roman nodded. “Can- can I go now..?” He tried to blink back the tears that welled in his eyes, but he knew Thomas saw them. He felt infinitely bad as the invisible force that had tethered him in the living room let go, and he sank down to his room. As soon as he shut the door, he started sobbing. His body shook as he grabbed the black and purple hoodie he knew could only belong to Virgil from the bed. He assumed the anxious side had been in while he was trapped with Thomas. He pulled on the thick hoodie, curling into a ball. He managed to change the fabric of the mindscape, at least for his room. He changed himself to look like Talyn. That came with a different dysphoria, but it was easier to cope with than his normal.

Analogical Headcanons

Hey there! Who's ready for some analogical human!au headcanons? Hmm? What's that? No one asked for these? Oh well, you're getting them anyways!

Who would:

Give nose/forehead kisses: Logan. He isn't a huge fan of displays of public affection but he does like giving these kinds of kisses; especially if they are in a crowded place and Virgil's anxiety is getting to him.

Gets jealous the most: Virgil, though it isn't as much jealousy as it is being over-protective. A few weeks into their relationship, they'd been at a bar and some frat guy tried to hit on Logan. Virgil got upset and stood in between Logan and frat guy before Logan even had a chance to say anything, telling him to back off because 'this nerd is taken.' Logan liked that Virgil cared enough to intervene, but reassured Virgil that he could take care of himself in situations like that.

Picks the other up from the bar when they're too drunk too drive: This has only happened once. They'd gotten into a huge fight that ended with Virgil storming off and driving around. He ended up at some dive bar and (unwisely) decided to go in and have a drink. Except one drink turned into two, which turned into five. Eventually he got so drunk the bartender cut him off and refused to let him drive home. Virgil, sad and lonely and upset that he couldn't drink anymore, called Logan. Logan went to pick him up, and when he saw Virgil crying and stumbling outside the bar, all his anger went away. He took Virgil home and took care of him.

Takes care of on sick days: They both take care of each other. But where Virgil can be coaxed to cooperate by some soft logical words, Logan has to be fought and argued with. Especially when Logan doesn't want to stop working. Virgil has had to physically pick Logan up and carry him to bed on multiple occasions. (Logan, you stubborn boi, let your boyfriend take care of you!)

Drags the other person out into the water on beach days: Virgil. They had traveled to California to visit their friends Roman and Patton for a week and they'd all gone to the beach. Logan had wanted to stay at the hotel but Virgil convinced him to come. With Roman and Patton's help, they pull Logan into the water and they have a wonderful day splashing and swimming in the ocean!

Gives unprompted massages: Logan. He mostly does this when Virgil has trouble sleeping. He'll stroke Virgil's back softly at first, then work out the knots and tense muscles until Virgil relaxes and falls asleep.

Drives/Rides shotgun: Virgil likes to drive, mostly because Logan prefers to read or write while they travel in the car. Logan only drives if he needs to.

Brings the other lunch at work: They both work from home (Logan writes both science-fiction and mystery novels and Virgil is a YouTuber) but they always make sure to take an hour break to eat lunch together.

Has the better parental relationship: Logan's parents were strict when he was growing up; always expecting perfect grades and for their son to be the best in everything he did. They didn't approve of Logan being gay, and they kicked him out when he was outed by his older brother. Logan went to live with his Uncle Joan, who didn't have a problem with Logan's sexuality. Logan still doesn't talk to his parents, and often refers to his Uncle Joan and their partner Talyn as his parents. Virgil was raised by two loving moms, and they adore Logan. Joan and Talyn also adore Virgil, and Virgil gets along with them both really well! Logan and Virgil alternate having holidays with their parents when they can't all be together.

Tries to start role-playing in bed: Virgil had been wanting to try things in the bedroom for a while, and finally got the courage to talk to Logan about it. To his surprise, Logan admitted he was also curious, and was willing to try out some things. (Communication is so important in situations like this!)

Embarrassingly drunk dancer: Logan. He doesn't get drunk often, but when he does he loosens up tremendously. They'd been having a New Year's celebration, just the two of them, and they'd both drank more than they'd originally planned. Logan got so drunk he took his clothes off and danced on the table in only his underwear and tie. Virgil thought it was both hilarious and attractive. Logan woke up the next morning with no memory of the incident, and Virgil had to tell him. Logan was embarrassed and hid under the covers. Virgil hugged him and promised to never tell anyone else about it.

Still cries watching Titanic: Virgil. Not full-on bawling, but there are always a few tears. Logan smiles softly at him and holds him closer whenever this happens.

Firmly believes in couples costumes: Logan. He loves planning them, and Virgil is always willing to dress up in whatever 'nerdy' costumes Logan picks out. They dress up every year, even if they only stay home and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters.

Breaks the ' no expensive gifts rule' during Christmas: Logan. He loves the act of giving gifts; it's one of his love languages. He always breaks the rule every single year, but no one can talk him out of doing it, so they just let him do it.

Makes the other eat breakfast: They can both be pretty bad about taking care of themselves, but they are really good at taking care of the other. If one of them has to eat breakfast, the other does too. Meal times are especially important to both of them; sometimes during busy weeks it's really the only time they have to spend together. (Virgil has a posting schedule he likes to stick to for his YouTube channel, and Logan always worries about meeting his deadlines for his books.)

Remembers anniversaries: Virgil. They're really important to him, not only because Logan is incredibly important to him but because they're solid proof that Logan truly loves him. (Why else would he have stuck around to make it through one, two, three years together?) Virgil always plans out the anniversaries, and Logan lets him because he knows how important it is to Virgil. (Except Logan insists on planning their 7th year anniversary, and he proposes to Virgil on that night! Of course Virgil says yes!!!)

Brings up having kids: Logan. It's a year after they got married, and Logan had been thinking about it for awhile. Virgil is anxious about it (What if the kids don't like him? What if he's a bad parent?) After much discussion and comforting, logical words, they decide to adopt. They end up adopting a cute little boy named Emile!

Bonus stuff!

Virgil and Patton have been best friends since childhood.

Patton moved to California for college, though him and Virgil never lost touch! They Skyped, texted and called every chance they got.

Logan got to know Roman when one his most popular science-fiction novels got turned into a TV series. Roman was cast as the lead role, and the actor insisted on speaking to Logan so he could know everything about the character he was playing. They ended up becoming best friends as well, though they will occasionally butt heads.

Logan and Virgil lived in Florida for the longest time, but shortly after they got married, they made the move to California, both to be closer to their best friends but also to help with their careers.

Virgil had been the one to introduce Patron to Roman, and they instantly connected with one another. 'True love at first sight!' as Roman so often likes to put it.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed that! I had a lot of fun writing it. Please re-blog this and let me know what you think! Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement; it means more to me than you know!
