Sanders Sides OneShots

Arguments (Platonic Logince)

Also has brief platonic moxiety and (either platonic or romantic) analogical.

T.W. mention of panic attack, and hate.

Logan and Roman did not get along.

Logan always saw the logical side of things, whereas, Roman saw the creative side of things.

Often, when the four sides watched a Disney movie, Roman and Logan would end up ruining the movie because of their constant bickering. Roman would talk about how great the movie is, whilst Logan would counter with how unrealistic the movie is.

Patton and Virgil were often forgotten about during those moments, Virgil often slipped into a panic attack, and Patton would be torn between stopping the argument and stopping Virgil's panic attack.

One day, whilst watching Cinderella, the two sides got into a huge argument.

"It just isn't logically accurate!"

"It's a fairytale, it's supposed to attract people, not necessarily be accurate!"

"She sits around, slaving over her stepmother and stepsisters."

"Most other women end up doing that! Plus, she's being kind to her family.

"She gets pushed around and doesn't stand up for herself!"

"She is giving them a place to live!"

"She doesn't do anything for herself!"

"Her mice help her, and she makes herself a dress idea for the ball"

"She waits around for someone else to set her free"

"It was her true love! The Fairy Godmother just made her more presentable."

"So girls need to just wait around for someone else to make them look decent and pulchritudinous?"

"That's not what I said!"

"Whatever, how about the fact that she falls in love with someone she just met and then goes on to marry said person?"

"It was true love!"

"She can't know if she loves someone if she just met them!"

"What do you know about love?"

"*Love is formed through three major aspects, Lust, Attraction, and Attachment. Your brain releases hormones associated with love, adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin. Then, in the final stage, attraction, Oxytocin and vasopressin are released. So clearly, I know more about love than you. It was rather foolish of her though, when you think about it, she doesn't know this person, she's just this random stranger to him, and vice versa, however, neither of them know anything about each other, and she wants to be with him to get away from home, which shows she would rather be away from home and marry whoever she meets instead of facing her problems, also, she probably doesn't even know what love is! She is forcing girls into thinking they have to wait for someone to rescue them, and that they have to have a ridiculous body type for a male to fall in love with them."

"She isn't showing females anything, so many females find happiness in a tough situation and that is all that is going on. She found happiness despite her hardships. Plus, Love is an emotion, and considering you have none, it shouldn't matter to you whether or not you understand the concept. You don't know what she was feeling. You're just a robot."

At that point, Logan stopped, the words Roman said hitting him heard, he felt his heart metaphorically break.

Roman glanced down, realising what he said and how wrong it was.

Virgil and Patton had left the room part way through the argument. Virgil had slipped into a rather difficult panic attack and Patton was trying to calm him down.

Soon, Virgil had calmed down, and when he had, both traits realised the commons had gone quiet.

Too quiet.

Patton and Virgil went back to the commons to see Roman sat on the sofa, his head in his hands and Logan was nowhere to be seen.

Patton cleared his throat, "What did you say to him, Roman?"

"I... I called him a Robot."

Virgil didn't wait for Roman to finish speaking, he ran to the logical traits room and knocked.

Logan had gone to his room after Roman had called him Robot, his thoughts were swimming around in his head.

Do I really not understand emotion? Do I only understand the meaning? I have no concept of love, or anything. I am a robot. I feel nothing. No one likes someone that just keeps talking about the science of things. I'm just a useless, logical, tin can of a person.

Logan was pulled from his thoughts as he heard a knock on his door. He went to answer it.

Virgil stood on the other side, worried about him.

Virgil looked at the smarter trait, and noticed the state he was in, his hair was a mess, he glasses were askew, and he had red, puffy eyes, allowing the anxious trait to see that he had been crying.

Without saying a word, Virgil pulled him into a hug.

Logan broke down in Virgil's arms.

Virgil maneuvered the two into the room, allowing them to sit on the bed where it was more comfortable.

"Logan?"

"I'm a robot"

"No you aren't"

"I don't understand emotions, I don't feel, I have no emotions. Roman said it himself, I am just a robot."

Virgil looked at the other trait sadly, "Logan, you wouldn't be this distraught over Roman calling you a robot if you had no emotion. You wouldn't cry or smile or laugh if you didn't feel emotion. You wouldn't help me, or Thomas, or Patton if you had no emotion. You are not a robot. You are a fellow trait, and you are exceptional. Don't ever think otherwise."

Logan looked at the darker trait, "you mean that?" Virgil nodded.

"Every word."

Logan hugged Virgil again and finally calmed down.

- Meanwhile -

"YOU DID WHAT?"

"I-I'm sorry, I-I got c-caught up in the m-moment. I didn't m-mean i-it"

"APOLOGISE"

"He won't want to see me"

"APOLOGISE, NOW!"

Roman, not wanting to anger Patton anymore, went and knocked on the smarter traits door.

"Come in."

Roman walked in hesitantly, Logan saw the fanciful trait and tensed up in Virgil's arms.

Roman stayed a relative distance away. "Logan, I am so sorry for what I said, I do not believe you are a robot. I got defensive, and I know that doesn't excuse anything, but I don't like people going against Disney, and I'm sorry. You didn't deserve it, and I understand if you hate me. I would hate me too." He felt his eyes fill with tears.

Logan looked up at the sad trait, "I do not hate you, nor could I ever. I just hope you will learn your lesson and think before you speak"

Roman nodded, and took a step closer to the logical trait, extending his hand. "Truce?"

Logan nodded and stood and moved over to the fanciful trait, and nodded, shaking his hand. "Truce."
