How are you so good at writing???? Also I'm pretty sure u can guess who I am by now lol but uhhhh idk if I sent u this one, pretty much pat tells virg not to climb a tree but he does anyway because no screw u I'm cool and edgy. Virg gets frozen with fear at the height and can't com down and pat cant even bring himself to say I told u so. It turns into a fiasco of a dramatic roman and logan getting him down. Virg is so embarrassed afterwards so pat takes virg in his room for comfort cuddles -🐢

I’m glad you like my writing:) You have some really good prompts, Anon

Thomas was out on a walk in the park, so naturally his Sides were in the mood for a stroll in the creative part of the mindscape.

The prince was boasting about how he liked to stay fit by creating new challenges for himself. Every part of the landscape, he had created and traversed.

Virgil was getting rather annoyed, “Okay. Enough already, Princey. We get it.”

Roman looked offended, but he quickly covered up this expression with a smirk.

“Oh, I get it. Panic at the Everywhere is jealous.”

“Am not”

“Are too”

“Am not”

The conversation probably would’ve went on like that for awhile if Patton hadn’t intervened. “Now, we’ll have none of that. You kiddos need to behave. Virgil, I’m sure Roman is just proud of his accomplishments. We should try and be as supportive as possible.” the moral side chastised.

Virgil glowered. Roman stuck his tongue out at him.

“He only accomplished them because he was the one who created the obstacles” Virgil muttered.

“That is so not true” the prince protested.

“Well, Virgil does make a valid point” Logan observed. “You even bragged about climbing some of the trees to the very top, but you could have easily added branches to make the task more simple for yourself.”

Roman glared at the logical side, “You obviously don’t know anything.”

“Falsehood” Logan said firmly, clearly irritated at Roman’s accusation.

Patton glanced at the others in disapproval, “Guys….”

Poor Patton was drowned out by incoherent arguing. Logan, Virgil, and Roman were talking all at once.

Roman exclaimed above the fray, “Aha! I got it! How about a good old-fashioned competition?”

Logan eyed the creative side warily, “What sort of competition?”

“I race one of you guys up the tree. Whoever reaches the top first is the victor!”

Virgil stared at Roman, “That….sounds dangerous.”

The prince laughed, “I guess it isn’t so easy after all. I guess you really are just jealous.”

“You wish”

“Then prove it” Roman challenged.

The over-confident and over-competitive aura of Roman’s room was making Anxiety reckless because he was actually considering it.

“Virgil, you don’t have to do this.” Patton stepped in. “I agree with you, this could be a bit risky.”

Logan nodded, “I actually agree with Patton on this one.”

Virgil respected Patton at the best of times, but Roman was really beginning to get on his nerves. I can do this. I might be Anxiety, but I can do this. I’ll show him.

Virgil glared at Roman and accepted the challenge, much to Patton’s dismay.

Roman made Logan and Patton be the judges.

Virgil and Roman began climbing two trees that were about the same height.

Virgil wasn’t as used to it as Roman, but he was more nimble than the prince due to his practice running. He was Anxiety, he was going to practice his running.

To everyone’s surprise, Virgil made it to the top of the tree first.

Virgil smirked, Roman grimaced.

“Alright, alright. I guess you win this time, Hot Topic.”

The prince began to climb down, but Virgil remained at the top.

All of a sudden, Virgil was hyper aware of just how high he was. He clutched the branch he was sitting on, petrified.

“Are you going to come down anytime soon?” Patton called up to him.

Virgil didn’t know what to do. He wanted their help, but he was also too embarrassed to ask. The most he could utter back was “Uhhhh….”

Princey glanced up at Anxiety curiously. “Oh. Oh, I think he’s stuck!”

Patton was worried that something like this would happen, but he didn’t have the heart to say I told you so when his son was clearly suffering.

Logan started formulating a plan, “Perhaps you could conjure up a ladder, Roman.”

“Roman?”

The prince was already charging the tree, climbing deftly through the branches. “I shall save you, shadowling!”

Soon Roman was at the top with Virgil, flashing him a comforting smile. Virgil clung tight to the branch.

“Oh, Virge. You climbed up, it isn’t all that difficult to get down. I’m right here with you.”

Roman coaxed Virgil to him as if he were a firefighter saving a cat from a tree.

Virgil was visibly shaking, but he cautiously took Roman’s hand. The prince guided the anxious trait carefully.

At the bottom, Virgil tried to calm his breathing. He looked around at the other Sides’ worried faces and blushed. Great. I just had to try and prove Princey wrong.

Patton tried his best to comfort him, “Maybe we should go back to the family room?”

Virgil nodded his head.

Patton gently sat Virgil on the couch and spontaneously changed into his cat onesie.

“What did you change for?” Virgil asked.

“Because you need comfort and I think cuddles are better in cat pajamas!” Patton said excitedly.

Virgil shook his head, “I’m fine, Pat.” The anxious trait was still trembling slightly.

Logan and Roman popped up, also wearing cat-themed pajamas.

“Guys, what is this?” Virgil eyed them suspiciously.

Roman grinned and Logan smirked.

“We just couldn’t help, but notice how cat-like you were up in that tree.”

“Ha ha, very funny,” Virgil just wanted to sink out and avoid the humiliation.

“Don’t worry about it, Virge. You were adorable” Patton said.

“And rescuing you was a pleasure” Roman added.

“Better you than me” Logan stated. Roman kicked him. “I–I mean….uh”

“What Logan is trying to say is join in the fun and put on a cat onesie!”

Virgil sighed, This couldn’t possibly get any more ridiculous.

He changed his outfit into black cat pajamas. The Sides tackled him in a hug and then settled down to watch a movie. It might have been embarrassing to be fussed over so much, but it certainly helped to calm Virgil down. 

Patton was right, cuddles were better this way.
