*Days of charging, repearing, and resting, a certain robot finally wakes up from his chamber, looking cleaner than ever, but as empty as ever as well*
...Hello?
Lulu walked into the room, originally coming here to check on Logan, however, once she sees that Logan is awake, she quickly rushes over to him and hugs him
"DAD! You're awake!"
*Logan looked almost surprised before something beeped, his eyes flashing twice before his system spoke*
"EMOTIONAL RESET COMPLETE"
...Hello, Lulu.
"God, I missed you so much!"
Lulu then stops the hug and looks at logan
"are you okay by the way?"
I'm stable and recharged, so I'm sufficient.
*That...sounded a bit empty*
"uhhh, that's good, why do you sound weird?"
Whatever do you mean?
That matters not. Where is everyone else?
"they're downstairs, probably still sleeping. Also, you sound really, uh, roboticy, and empty. Are you sure you're okay?"
I believe I already have answered that question, Lulu. I am recharged and sufficient.
Have you had breakfast?
"no, not really"
Then I'll start to prepare some. You wake the others. Understood?
"um, okay"
Lulu goes downstairs, a worried look on her face. What was up with logan? She thought he'd be happy to see her, but he's not, did something happen?
She arrives downstairs to the living and yells with a loud voice "EVERYBODY WAKE THE HELL UP!"
Patton, in a few words, is almost about to swear. It feels like he’s been asleep for almost a year, and he’s still tired. The remains of his frog like features stick to him, gangly limbs and sickly eyes.
“Mghmm..please..please be quiet kiddo…”
"sorry pops, but logan's awake and he's acting a bit...weird"
“Is he? Oh..oh dear. Lulu, kiddo, can you help me up? Let me look at him. I missed him.”
Lulu helps patton stand up
"Alright, you go talk to him and I'll wake he others up, clearly I wasn't loud enough"
“Thanks kiddo. Are you alright? I know you went through a lot. Thank you. For everything.” He puts a hand on her shoulder, hand still covered in slime
Lulu made a face at the slime, but decided not to comment on it
"eh, it's fine, just don't do anything stupid like that again. Now go talk to dad, I'm real worried about him but I don't think he'll open up to me"
“I won’t, I promise from the tips of my toes.” It’s a somewhat keepable promise, and after weeks in the jar, he had enough time to think. Think about why he thought that would’ve been a genius idea to give himself away.
“I’ll talk to my heart.”
“Good”
with that, lulu goes back to trying to wake the others
It feels like gears since he’s set foot back in the house. Their house. Their home. After trying to make himself somewhat presentable (and failing a bit), he’s at Logan’s door, knocking quietly
“My love?”
Come in.
*His tone was pretty monotone and emotionless. In a way, empty. He could be heard moving some stuff around in his room, probably cleaning the mess he had before.*
Opening the door, he bites his lip at the mess around the room. This isn’t how Logan is at all. Had Wrath been back while he was gone? “My love..I missed you.”
*He turned his head to look at Patton, his eyes dull and empty. He looked at him up and down, taking in the new frog like features Patton had before looking back at him.*
I'm glad you're alive and well. Interesting features you have there.
“Logan..I’ve been gone for weeks.”
He steps in closer, wiping his hands against his shirt. It’s not his fault that the side effects haven’t left him yet. “I’ve been in a jar Logan. Are you upset with me?”
Well that's...inconvenient.
I'm not upset. I actually feel quite...
...As a matter of fact, I don't even feel a thing. I believe the emotional reset worked.
“Oh ..I see. Logan, I love you. I do, and I’m so sorry for what I’ve done.” This isn’t fair. After weeks, he thought he’d be allowed to fall into his arms, and finally rest.
“You’re a silly, silly little man my love”
I love you too.
*He probably meant it, but the very monotone and empty tone did not help, as well as his static like expression. After a moment, he quickly finishes fixing his room. It was neat and uniform, but not as colorful as before. He steps closer to Patton, hands behind his back.*
What would you like for breakfast?
His heart sinks down to his stomach, looking around the room. He can’t see any hint of humanity in it, it’s made as clean and sterile as a laboratory. Are his cards and gifts stuffed into a drawer, out of sight?
“I don’t want breakfast. I want you to be you again. Fiddlesticks, pardon me, but this isn’t fair. You and your..pardon me again, stupid resets.”
After what you went through, I believe that you will need food.
And that so called "stupid" reset saved my life.
After you and everyone else left, Romeo visited. I had an emotional overload, as well as a metaphorical heartbreak.
It was frying my systems, consuming what was left of me, even after being unconscious.
*He started to walk past Patton, hands still behind his back.*
We will discuss this later. I must check on everyone else, and prepare breakfast.
“At least you could feel something.” A nasty emotion is working it’s way into Pattons heart, and it burns his throat as he looks at Logan. He wants his Logan, his know it all husband who picked him up with ease and kisses him until he was as blue as their clothes.
Reaching out, he takes one of Logan’s hands from behind his back. “Please, my darling.”
*That caught him offguard for a bit as he stopped. He stood there in silence, looking back at Patton with his head. For a second there, it almost looked like Logan had a small spark within his eyes, one pure of life, before it disappeared.*
We'll talk about this later.
How horrible a feeling it is to want to cry when everything is tiring. When it’s horribly heavy and there’s no more water in the body to cry. He lets go of Logan’s hand, giving up for now.
“You go ahead my love. I’m just going to my room for a bit. I love you.”
I love you too. Do not forget to eat, you need it.
*Logan said with the same tone before turning away and walking to the kitchen. The sound of kitchen tools could be heard, such as a spatula scraping a skillet softly as some eggs fried on it.*
