What are some cute things the couples do that you haven’t mentioned in the fic?

OK SO some of these were gonna be side chapters I’ve been planning on writing so minor spoilers for that. (There’s a lot because I could write a whole sequel of just their dates and cute stuff I omit for plot oops)

Enjoy this massive fluff dump.

When Roman can’t sleep (which isn’t often), he will seek out Virgil and sort of gently nudge him awake and Virgil will move over so they can share a bed. He then sometimes will sing songs he thinks Virgil will like to help both of them sleep again. (He has a playlist of these songs labeled ‘Virgil’)

Logan will try using the cooking skills Patton has taught them and look up recipes within his abilities and make them lunch/dinner just to impress him. He’s gotten quite good! (He enjoys Binging with Babish/Basics with Babish) He will use his abilities to help him multitask while he watches his phone.

Patton has read many books in his time working at the library so sometimes he’ll sit in Logan’s room/his room and read and Logan will join him. If Logan is reading a book Patton has read, Patton perks up at every noise Logan is at and wonders what part he’s just read.

Logan will visit Patton at work and take him to the cafe down the street where they initially met for lunch dates.

Virgil will randomly walk into the room Roman is at and will try to sit on him or coax him into a makeout session if he’s bored. Roman will try to fight it just to bother him.

Logan likes taking pictures of things he sees that he thinks Patton would like. Pretty pictures of sunsets on his way home, a random dog he’s seen, a cute shop he thinks they could visit, etc.

Roman, knowing Virgil’s love for family-owned businesses, will often scope out places for their dates and take Virgil to them if he’s interested.

Virgil knows Roman isn’t a huge fan of his new desk job and will (eventually) paint pictures for his desk for him to switch out once in a while.

Patton Pal cuddle puddle with Logan.

Logan will sometimes softly sing to Patton when Patton has a bad dream. He doesn’t sing otherwise.

Roman eventually(so much farther in the future) learning to use his electricity to generate heat and becoming a living heater that Virgil latches onto all the time... so Roman gets free snuggle time.

Patton will buy cheap cards at the dollar store and write fun facts (or puns... or both) on the inside.

As Logan laments about the terrible customers at the book store he has to deal with, Patton will cheer him on and give him a high five for keeping his cool.

Virgil will go to every showing Roman performs in using his abilities and brings roses on the first night without fail.

There’s more but... that’s it. A lot of it is things that have to happen in the future because they just started dating but they’re things that will happen.

Can you tell us more about Logan’s tattoo? Like, when exactly did he get it and why?

Ohh, fun! 

So the idea of Logan having a tattoo was one I played around with for a long time before something convinced me to make it real. (I also played around with Virgil having one and ultimately decided not to) This is gonna have PT spoilers about Logan’s backstory so proceed with caution. There is one thing I will note about the tattoo. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Robin drew it here but she made a mistake. The tattoo actually says “Always Remember” and not Never Forget but close enough.

After accidentally making his parents lose all memory of him, he moved in with his aunt and uncle. He had to explain what happened but he didn’t do too well. He refused to take blame for it, claiming it was an accident so he shouldn’t be at fault.  After a bit of time, he had talked to his uncle who had told him that he needed to be more responsible. At this point, Logan had been asked to help in the bakery and was being a punk about it and still being a bit reckless, though less so than before. He wasn’t sneaking out every night like he was with his parents. Then his aunt puther foot down and his uncle pulled him to the side. After a heart to heart, Logan ran off.

When he came back? Tattoo. Pluto with a banner that said “Always Remember”. He claimed that it was to remember that Pluto was a planet, no matter what people had said. (There was an obvious parallel to it and himself but he wouldn’t admit that.) But the banner was to remind Logan of what he had done. To keep him in check and hold himself responsible.

After that, he decided he needed a change. He graduated high school (his parents didn’t show) and decided to pack up his band tees and upgrade to button ups and sweaters. He focused on his studies and graduated from college. He helped around the bakery a lot to help pay bills (since his aunt and uncle helped pay for college) and got a job.

A few years later he ran into a certain curly haired person at a cafe when people watching (he wanted to limit the use of his powers and he figured this was a harmless way to do it) and discovered he wasn’t alone. And the rest is history.

I finally finished these and it was really fun! Also sorry for the inconsistencies but between Patton and Virgil there was a gap of time where I did nothing, and I’m still trying to work on my artstyle.

Would alip Logan have a tiny ponytail? This ideas been stuck in my head

He hasn't but he probably could have in his emo days? He's never actually made one. Do I think he would make one? Yeah probably.

At what point did Patton realize that he liked Logan more than a friend. Did he ever feel anything before he was asked out?

Yes and no. (Long ask with spoilers)

Due to Patton’s past, he wasn’t quite sure if he was ready to go back into dating again. While he had briefly wondered what it would be like to date Logan, he never entertained the thought. After Logan had confessed and asked him out, he said yes and took some time to properly think it through.

Patton and Logan went on quite a few dates over the months. Patton kept pushing it off, not wanting to commit until he was sure and Logan was ok with waiting. That’s why it feels like after they started dating, things picked up fast. Patton was giving kisses and making heart eyes and Logan was becoming flustered at the sudden change he had been wanting for those months he has waited. But remember, Logan thought that Patton suddenly having these emotions so fast meant the slow fall Logan had meant he didn’t truly care about Patton. I mentioned that in PT a little bit. 

All in all, Patton hadn’t given it any serious thought and they went on dates for MONTHS before making it official, and then suddenly they were acting like they had been dating for at least a year. Logan felt he didn’t care as much as Patton did and Patton was afraid of being completely dependant on this boy that took his heart so quickly.

So basically, with how quickly they just fell into things (since they dated a bunch and lived together already) they’re quickly finding how they fit so well together already. I have their epilogue planned but right now, Patton is taking his independence into his own hands and cutting out the people he doesn’t need now that he has a strong support base and Logan is learning that everyone feels differently at different paces and it’s ok to just fall into them and figure them out as you go. 

tldr; Patton hadn’t given it too much thought but after a couple dates, he realized that he falls rather quickly and was more than ready to give them a shot. But because of their history of living together and knowing each other so well, you’ll see their relationship evolve quickly. So be prepared.
