Hello all, I'm going to thank IITheBlackCanaryII again, I may have to just credit C in the story description, C has been helping me by prereading my story before I upload chapters and also by helping quell my fears about pacing, verbiage, and even parts that I feel unsure about. The whole weekly upload thing may not happen all that often, I am notoriously bad at keeping a schedule and I'm writing this as I go.

Thomas was taken aback, Logan had romantic feelings for Patton? He finally understood why Logan had been having such a hard time working efficiently lately. "Are you sure, Logan?"

Logan exhaled slowly, as if he had asked himself this question over and over again in his mind. "Yes, I am sure, I have consulted the internet and also some more credible sources, such as scientific journals and online articles posted by scientific websites. I may have also partaken in what I have come to learn is a habit for young teenagers, I took an online quiz about crushes." Logan casted his gaze downwards, he then began his thought again, "it was only for research."

Logan heard a soft chuckling from Thomas, what was funny? Logan's stance straightened and he soon was staring into Thomas's eyes, trying to decipher the emotions that seemed to lightly dance across the chuckling mess that was Thomas. Logan began looking through Thomas, all he could think of was how attractive Patton looked on this very day. What was Patton thinking about?

Why had Thomas called Logan? Patton could not think of any thing else, he couldn't even try to figure out what was happening with Anxiety, that was what got him in this mess in the first place. Patton was walking along the hallway in search of someone to tell his new favorite dad joke to, until he heard sobbing coming from Anxiety's room. He felt heart broken. Patton was close to knocking on the door to see if he could come in and help Anxiety through his tough situation when he heard Logan's deeper voice beginning to comfort the darkly clad family member.

Patton could not exactly make out what Logan was saying, his voice was lower and deeper than he remembered last. He was about to leave and consider the whole thing fruitless until he heard Anxiety's voice ring clearly and sadly. "I'm not always the bad guy."

Of course you're not kiddo, he couldn't help thinking, he felt horrible that Anxiety felt as such. He moped slightly until he heard Logan's response. "And I'm not an emotionless robot." Patton heard this and his heart broke in two pieces, he needs to let those two know how special they are.

Patton remembered hearing more between the two before Anxiety bolted from the room. He remembered feeling something stirring in his stomach, it felt like butterflies, he wanted to smile, but he was too confused to, especially since he was sure that Logan was the reason for his butterflies. He had been trying to understand his feelings when Logan left the room, he looked a lot more cheerful than his normal disposition.

Patton's confused face melted into a soft smile when the small talk began. He had a feeling of happiness ooze out and lick his face, he could be with Logan forever if he needs to.

As he was left standing alone, this was what he realized: there is something about Logan that he likes and he needs to figure it out.

Maybe he needs to talk to Roman, he'll know for sure what is going on. What is Logan talking about with Thomas?

"Logan," Thomas said suddenly startling Logan in his spot. "Have you been listening?"

Logan froze suddenly, he had not been listening and he felt massively guilty. "Sorry, Thomas, I was lost in thought and somehow did not hear a word you said. This whole situation is confusing to me and I cannot seem to make any sense of it."

"It's okay, Logan, I was just asking you how you are feeling."

"Oh, um, I think I should go and lie down." Thomas looked over to Logan and saw how confused, tired, and messy the logical side of his personality looked. He nodded in agreement while he watched the tired personality sink down to the mind-scape.

Logan sank slowly down to the floor of the hallway he had been standing in earlier and to his surprise, Patton was standing there with a confused look on his face. Logan's eyes widened, he was concerned for his good friend, is he okay? Patton's eyes were glassy and glazed, like he was lost in thought.

Logan stood and stared straight into Patton's eyes, until he saw the spark of life enter back into Patton's eyes. Logan careened to his room his only objective: to get out of the hallway as soon as possible, Patton could not see him like this, there would be too many questions asked.

He locked his door and sprawled out onto his bed. His tired and frankly pain-filled head was silencing Logan with a mind-numbing pain felt all throughout his skull.

Logan wasn't surprised that his headache had at some point melded into a moderate migraine, this always seemed to happen whenever he got too emotional. This is the stage of his overexertion that always made him retreat into his shell, he always pulled his natterings back to a minimum and even, in some cases, stopped them entirely.

Logan's eyes slowly started to droop closed. Right before his eyes closed, he saw a shadow glide across his room.

The room went quiet as Logan drifted into an uneasy sleep.
