So after the last couple videos, Patton isnât sure where he stands with Virgil but HE MISSES HIS BEST FRIEND. So, he listens to Virgilâs favorite music while curled around a black and purple Virgil-inspired pillow as he wears Virgilâs old black hoodie.
Patton notices slowly over time how his boyfriends spend all of their time with him either in the Commons or in his bedroom and it gets him thinking heâs only been in Virgilâs room once and never in Deeâs. He wonders how to bring it up because he knows better than to enter their rooms without their permission. Maybe they donât want him in there.
The thought causes him to frown.
âI totally donât want to know whatâs caused that frown because I certainly donât like when you smile,â comments Deceit out of nowhere.
Patton turns his head and gives him a smile as he watches Deceit move to join him on the couch before leaning up to give him a kiss.
âItâs nothing to worry about, Dee. I promise,â replies Patton.
Deceit frowns.
âWhat doesnât Dee need to worry about?â asks Virgil from the other side of the room.
Patton opens his mouth to say something but Deceit places a finger on his lips, silencing him.
Walking over, Virgil sits on the other side of Patton.
âI didnât come in and see Patton frowning. He told me the reason when I asked,â explains Deceit.
âPatton?â asks Virgil softly as he takes his hand.
Patton sighs.
âI got to thinking about how we spend all of our time either out here or in my room then how Iâve never spent any time in either of your rooms which brought me to the thought that you didnât want me in there,â explains Patton.
He knows when his boyfriends team up theyâll always get what they want especially from him.
Virgil and Deceit share a look.
âWe do want to spend time with you in our rooms but we didnât think you want to, after the first time you came into my room with Logan, Roman and Thomas,â responds Virgil.
Patton squeezes his hand before grabbing Deceitâs with his other one.
âOur rooms are totally like the Light Sidesâ rooms and thereâs nothing to worry about in them,â comments Deceit.
Patton smiles softly at him.
âIâll be with one or both of you so it wonât be scary or anything. How could it be when Iâm with my two protectors?â
Deceit feels the non-scaly side of his face heat up at Pattonâs words while Virgil buries his face in Pattonâs shoulder.
Giggling softly at his loves, Patton squeezes their hands.
âI love you both,â he says softly.
âI totally donât love you at all,â replies Deceit.
âLove you too, Patton,â mumbles Virgil into his shoulders.
Patton looks up from where heâs mixing brownie batter to see his boyfriend standing in the doorway, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The sight makes him smile.
âI woke up and you werenât in bed so I got worried,â Virgil confesses.
Placing the bowl down, Patton crosses the room to hug him. He didnât mean to worry him.
âIâm sorry, sweetheart. I couldnât sleep but you looked so relaxed that I didnât want to wake you up,â replies Patton.
Virgil snuggles close to him.
âI only sleep well when youâre there with me,â he says.
The timer on Pattonâs phone goes off so he lets go of Virgil who pouts and makes grabby hands at him as he moves away.
âYou donât want me to burn down the apartment, do you gum drop?â Patton asks.
Virgil huffs then crosses his arms.
âFine. Take out whatever is in the oven and let it cool. Iâm drawing the line at the brownies though. They can wait until later,â Virgil states.
Patton canât help kissing his cheek then doing as heâs told as he knows how seriously Virgil takes their cuddling and regular sleep schedule. Besides, he loves it too and hates missing out or cutting it short.
âAww RomanâŠdonât pout. WALL-E is a Disney-Pixar movie and you know you like the cute and adorable robots,â comments Patton.
Roman huffs and crosses his arms.
Leaning over, Patton pecks him on the lips; drawing a smile from his Disney-loving boyfriend.
âBesides, you know itâs Loganâs turn to pick a movie,â says Patton firmly.
âYeah, yeah. I know,â replies Roman.
Patton shakes his head at him while he continues to get the living room set up for their movie night while Virgil and Logan are getting their snacks and drinks ready in the kitchen. Movies nights with his loves are what he lives for and he canât help kissing Roman again; this time, Roman gets into it and they get carried away for a few minutes.
âAlright, alright. Weâre here to watch a movie, not make-out,â comments Virgil.
Behind him, Logan shakes his head at all three of them.
Roman smirks.
âJealous Virge?â he says cockily.
âAlways; of whoever is making out with Patton that isnât me,â he responds confidently.
Romanâs jaw drops open.
âEnough you two, letâs get settled for movie night,â interrupts Logan.
He knows those two could go all night if theyâre not nipped in the bud.
Patton takes one of the bowls of popcorn from Logan then places it on the side table followed by the other one which he places on the coffee table, earning a smile from the logical side. Then he grabs Loganâs hand and tugs him so heâs sitting on the couch next to him.
The other two follow suit with Roman next to Patton, draping his arm around his shoulder while Virgil plops down on Pattonâs lap. There are a couple minutes of shifting around until theyâre comfortable.
Logan presses play on the remote and it isnât long before all four men are engrossed in the movie. Slowly, over the course of the movieâŠthey fall asleep, one by one â first, itâs Roman then Virgil then Patton then finally Logan, who couldnât resist smiling at his sleeping partners before joining them in sleep. They may wake up with sore backs and limbs but they all agree itâs worth it to wake up with love.
When I took a nap this afternoon, I had a Sanders Side dream - Deceit as Timon, Remus as Pumba singing âCan you feel the love tonight?â as they watch Virgil as Simba fall in love with Patton as Nala.Â
âCan you please stop messing with the radio?? Pattonâs trying to get some sleep,â comments Roman from the back seat.
Logan looks back via the rearview mirror while Virgil turns his head to look at his best friend then frowns. They didnât mean to make Patton for so long while the rest of them slept for hours. Thankfully, when Logan woke up, he made Patton pull over so he could drive and Patton could rest. The quartet shuffled around so Roman could cuddle with his boyfriend.
âSorry Roman,â whispers Logan.
Virgil shoots him an apologetic look.
âPut on some Sleeping at Last for now then in a couple hours, weâll stop to get something to eat and wake up Patton then you can play with the radio,â states Roman firmly.
The other couple nods their heads as they know Roman becomes fierce when it comes to Patton. Virgil does as requested then Roman smiles at him in thanks.
Roman runs a hand through Pattonâs hair and smiles lovingly at him when he snuggles closer to Roman. His eyes drift up to the front in time to catch Logan kissing the back of Virgilâs hand, receiving a bright blush in return.
Things settle down in the SUV as he focuses on his boyfriend. Roman has plans for him during this trip though no one else knows. He definitely likes it and plans to make that known to the whole world.
He kisses the top of Pattonâs head before falling him into dreamland while his friendsâ voices mix with the music playing in the background.
