The Soft Side of an Octopus Man

chapter three

CW: cursing, inappropriate language, Remus being Remus, caps.

Remus woke and got dressed heading straight to Patton's room than knocked on the door "good morning, Patton!"

Patton was already up himself getting dressed for the day "Morning! I just got out of the shower and im getting ready! Hold on, ok?"

Remus groaned "alright alright-" he sat down in front of Patton's door, day dreaming about Patton being naked in the shower while he waited for him.

"Oh shoot- where are my glasses?" Patton couldn't find his glasses so he looked around for them. 

Remus heard Patton from behind the door "do you need help in there, pat?"

"This is a little silly I can't find my specs.." Patton responded, laughing embarrassingly. "Would you mind helping me?" He asked.

Remus smiled to himself. Am I about to see Patton shirtless? He thought to himself. "Sure!"

"They should be around here somewhere, just let me put on a shirt first and then I'll let you in" Patton said as he started to put on his blue t-shirt.

Remus whined in disappointment. "Alright than,,,"

A few moments Patton finished putting on his clothes. "Okay! You can come in now. The door's unlocked."

Remus opened the door and smiled at Patton " you're looking good, Patton!" Maybe even more if you were naked~ he thought to himself.

Patton smiled and twirled. "Thanks! Now let's go find my glasses."

"You look cute without them." Remus said as he looked around Patton's room.

Patton blushed "Thank you, but i can't see-" he stubbed his toe on the bed proving his point. "SON OF A MOTHERLESS GOAT! MY TOE!!" He sat on his bed holding his foot in pain.

Remus looked over at Patton. "You ok??" He asked him.

"Oww.. I'll be alright, Remus." He got up after a bit.

Remus laughed at Patton "well I found your glasses, baby- I MEAN--"

Patton laughed at himself "I guess I was overreacting there, huh?"

"Oh of course not! You're alright." He put on Patton's glasses for him. "There, now you look cuter than before you put on your glasses." Remus was relieved that Patton didn't understand what he meant by "baby"

Patton blinked twice. "Great, I can see now!" He smiled and hugged Remus. "Thank you, Remus!!"

Remus hugged back not wanting to let go. "No problem, Patton."

He let go of Remus "has anyone had breakfast yet?"

"About that... Everyone's kind of in their rooms avoiding each other because of yesterday." Remus said.

Patton looked down with a sad look on his face. "O-oh... I see."

Remus held Patton close to him "hey! We don't need them anyway!! Let's do something fun without those losers, ok?" Remus said trying to make the sad thing feel better.

"Can we at least make breakfast together?" Patton said quietly.

"Pfft, obviously! Let's head to the kitchen" Remus responded.

"Okay..." He left with Remus to the kitchen.

"So what are we making today?" Remus asked. 

Patton got his recipe book and flips to the breakfast section. "Well I'm gonna flip though the pages and you can tell me when to stop, ok?"

Remus nodded as he watched Patton flip through the pages and saw something him and Patton would like. "Ok stop" he pointed at a recipe for sweet puffy pastry waffles.

Patton gasped "these were my favorite when Thomas was kid!"

Remus smiled, it made him happy to see Patton get excited "yeah I thought you'd like them, I remember making these before... They remind me of you." He muttered the last part.

Patton giggled "I hope I remember how to make these.." He scanned through the recipe and gets an idea of what to do "ok let's do it!"

A few moments later after the two finished making breakfast.

"That was fun! I'm pretty glad we could spend more time together." Remus said.

Patton smiled "I'm glad these turned out so good! Now for my favorite part" he put a pastry on a plate and holds it out for Remus "Sharing the meal with people you care about."

"Aw, I didn't know you cared~" Remus said flirtatiously.

"Of course I do! We're friends aren't we?"

"Mhm... Friends." Remus looked a bit sad.

Patton noticed Remus was sad "hey are ok, Remus?" He said feeling concerned for him.

"Huh? Oh it's nothing! Don't worry about me" Remus said was he took the plate of food and leaves to the table "now are you gonna sit next to me or what? He chuckled.

Patton brushed it off, smiled, and sat next to Remus.

"Did you sleep well, patty cake?" Remus asked

Patton nodded. "I did sleep well, but I didn't have a good dream.." He looked down at his plate "I get scary dreams after something bad happens, like the time Thomas was bullied after his grandma died.. Most of the time I forget them and just feel sad in the morning" he looked over at Remus "but than I wake up and i get to be with my friends and I feel better because it was all just a dream!"

Remus patted his shoulder. " I'm sorry, Pat. I hope those bad dreams go away. I don't like seeing you sad or frightened."

Patton smiled "im alright, Remus. Being with you is making me feel much better"

Remus had an idea. "Well in that case we could sleep together!!"

Patton raised his eyebrow "you mean a sleep over?"

"What no-  I meant--" he sighed "you know what? Yes, let's have a sleepover."

Patton got excited "You mean it??" He stood up and hugged Remus around the shoulders placing his chin on Remus' head "thank you Remus!! I'm so excited! Maybe we could invite the others? We can have popcorn, maybe watch a movie together"

"Great idea!" Remus said, he kinda wanted the sleep over to be between him and Patton. "But are you sure they aren't gonna end up trying to kill each other again?"

"..hmmm... Well you kinda got a point.. Maybe we could invite janus and Logan first?" He said as he let go of Remus.

"Alrighty then" he finished his breakfast. "Should we go ask them now?"

"Sure! The present is the best time to give people gifts" Patton said smiling at his own pun.

"Oh haha.. I have no clue what you meant-" he grabbed Patton's hand and went to go to Logan's room.

He got a pan of pastries "let's go!" Patton said as he gently squeezed Remus' hand.

TBC!
