The Mysterious Side

Acting plays out

Patton and Virgil are now a couple, but they don't want anyone to find out yet so they are acting like last night didn't happen around the others, at least they didn't noticeably let the others know. I found out at lunch when Patton and Virgil were cooking and talking, I didn't think anything of it but then I heard certain sentences and reactions that sounded like flirting. I was zoning out just listening to them flirting and felt glad that my brother is happier with Pat. "Um... -----s?" I wasn't listening to anyone but the couple in the kitchen, "D---ms..!" I blocked it out as much as I could, not wanting to socialize or talk with anyone unless it's the dark sides or Virgil, Patton, or Logan. "Dreams, please answer the question!" I was startled but also surprised that Logan raised his voice at all. "Gomenasai, Logan! I zoned out... It's just... Nevermind... Now what were you saying?" I nervously answered him as he scared me when he yelled slightly. "Well, Ro- Creativity was asking you a question but you weren't answering so he asked me to get your attention" Logan gave me a look that said 'are you alright?' "Oh... Sorry, I was zoned out as I said... Just wondering what the dark gang is doing..." Which wasn't completely wrong, I was wondering what they've been up to with me gone for 3 days. The lovebirds came in and passed food around and sitting down themselves. I whistled in their direction in Virgil and my little silent language, "shut up, Dreams..." He said turning red in the face, I whistled again with a teasing statement, 'but why? Is my baby brother embarrassed?' is what it meant. He gave a rushed, high pitched whistle that said 'shut up or I will hit you with my book' which I didn't really believe but I shut my mouth and ate breakfast with confused looks between us. After breakfast, I volunteered to wash the dishes as I was annoying my brother with teasing whistles. They came over to me while I was washing the 4th plate, "Hey, kiddo! Um... Can you meet us in Virgil's room? We want to ask something and also talk to you, y'know?" Patton nervously brought it up, "Alright, Padre, I'll meet y'all in a few minutes, gotta finish with the dishes!" They nod and walk upstairs and I caught a glimpse of them holding hands! My ship is finally sailing, I've seen that Virgil has had a crush on Patton, even before becoming a light side, so I've shipped them ever since then. I'm glad that they are happier together and that they're even together in the first place! I'm done with the dishes in a matter of seconds as I was lost in thought and I set the plates to dry on the towel beside the sink. I walk towards the stairs with rising anxiety as I was making possible outcomes in my head. I walk down to the end of the hall and stop in front of Virgil's room, taking a deep breath before knocking. "Come in, Dreams!" I froze to Patton not calling me 'kiddo' but I walk in after a second. They were sitting on the bed so I stand in front of them and take in the awkward silence for a while. After a while, I break the silence and tension in the room, "So... Why'd you want to talk to me?" I said as I took off my mask to talk comfortably and look at them. Patton had gasped as my eye color changes with my emotions as a side effect of one of my many abilities. One eye was a royal/dark blue and the other eye was a Kelly/dark green. Virgil knew what the colors meant so he whistled softly to reassure that it wasn't anything about me or anything bad and my eye color changes to a sky/light blue and a light gray.

Patton was amazed that he found out that my eyes changed colors, and stars appeared in his eyes, but they quickly faded as he focused on our original topic. "So..? What was the thing you two wanted?" I said sorta nervous about what they wanted to speak to me about. "Well, we wanted you to know first, and..." "You're together?" I cut Patton off and he was shocked that I knew what they wanted to tell me, Virgil wasn't surprised since I've always been observant ever since he became a side. "You knew? How did you find out?!" Patton thought they weren't being obvious "it's okay, Pat, they've always been extremely observant since th- I've known them..!" He cut his sentence off as to not make me uncomfortable if I didn't want it to be shared. "It's okay, bro, you can tell him!" Patton looked confused and turned to Virgil, "Is there something that I don't know, Virge??" He stared at my brother with a soft look in his eyes. "V, if you don't want to tell him, I can!" I say reassuringly, "I guess you can since I haven't said it because I didn't want them bombarding you with questions and I didn't want you to be uncomfortable..." He confirms that I can say our secret since I've gotten caught, "Well, okay then!" I pause "So, Pat, Virgil and I are siblings, to be more exact we're twins" He pauses to process quickly, then he gasps as he realizes what it meant. "OMG!! HOW DID I NOT KNOW, I MEAN, IT WAS OBVIOUS!!" I giggled a bit when he said that with honest shock. "Wait... If your Virgil's sibling, does that mean we are related now?" I answered to confirm it for him, "Guess it does, Pat! Right, brother?" I turn to Virgil to have him confirm again. "Yeah, it does" he said with a smile.

~Time skip~

"KIDDOS! GAME NIGHT!!" Patton yelled and we all came down to see a gaming console and a TON of board games and cups with paper in them for truth or dare "Woah, Pat... How'd you do all this in a short amount of time??" I said amazed at his work in a short time after dinner, "y'know... I'm just an enthusiastic worker??" I sigh with him nervously laughing, but never the less it was amazing how he did it with about 257 games plus the console games already organized, ready to play.
