Patton calmed himself when he got to his room. He sat on his bed, attempting to calm himself. He wondered if Thomas could sense his worry, or if Anxiety could feel his uneasy ness. He slipped out his computer form under his bed and opened the google home page.

Breathe, 2, 3, 4, breathe, 2,3,4.

He typed in dog videos, and clicked on the first one, desperate to focus on something other than Logan and problems in his head. Luckily within minutes he'd completely forgotten why he was upset in the first place. By the time the video finished, he was clinging onto the ends of happiness and wishing he wasn't going to be flung into a pit of unending sadness and confusion.

Why was he like this? Why wasn't he normal? Was he even a Yandere? Or was he just thinking that because of google? He sighed, shutting the computer again and going over to move photos around again in a hopes to take his mind off of it all.

He'd somehow managed to go from just moving photos to readjusting, cleaning, and restyling his room. When he'd finished and couldn't see another thing to do in sight, he sat on his bed again, flopping back in hopes it would calm him. He'd gotten no where with his thoughts, it was just the same questions, and the worry that Virgil or Roman would sense something was off, or even worse, that Logan would.

-Virgil's POV-

Of course I knew something was up, I just didn't want to know what. Patton was more silent than ever, and when I walked past his room I heard mumbling from him. He wasn't focused on anything, and he didn't seem interested in any conversations. Also, he wasn't leaving his room as often as usual. He spent days in there, coming out only for cooking food or making sure I was asleep.

Not on my watch. But I couldn't do much, I was scared if I went in there he'd hate me. Or that maybe he was fine and I was just worrying to much. Or that he hate me because I went into his room, even though he was in there himself. So, of course, I asked the next best person if they could check on him: Roman. Because it was obvious that Logan was busy and that Patton had a massive crush on Logan. But as usual, both sides were oblivious to the others crush.

"Hey, Sir Sing-A-Lot?" I asked, sitting down next to Roman on the couch and swallowing all my fears that came to mind. Be cool. Roman looked at me, urging me to go on my with question by nodding. "Any idea what's up with Patton?" I would have used 'dad' but I wanted Roman to know this was serious, and so I used Patton's name-maybe I should've used 'dad'? What if Roman didn't like the choice to use Patton's real name? What if Roman didn't understand I was being serious?

"No clue, but I've noticed it too. Want me to check on him?" He asked, his eyes seeming to see how anxious I was. Keep cool. I nodded, and he stood up. "Well then, Virge, I'll let you know if something goes wrong or if I know what's wrong!" He exclaimed, heading off in the direction of Patton's room.

I hope he doesn't mess this up, and that Patton's okay.

-Roman's POV-

When I got to Patton's door, I was a little afraid myself of what was wrong. He hadn't responded to my knocking twice now and I, the bravest prince in All the land, was beginning to fear for my dear friend. "Patton, will you open up? I need to talk to you." I asked for the second time, spotting Virgil down the hall and smiling at him.

That's right, I was doing this for Virgil. So that he wouldn't worry, you could say. Or you could say that I was doing it because I myself was terrified but had been waiting to see if it was just me. Or that I may have had a slight change in attitude towards Virgil recently and I felt compelled to do it. I guess we'd never know, but it was impulsive. My action to say yes was mainly impulsive, but what was behind that impulse? I myself was not sure.

When I finished my inner monologue, i decided that if he wasn't going to open the door, I would. "Patton, I'm going to count to five, if you don't open the door I'll open it and come in myself, Okay?" I clarified, unsure wether he was even in his room. It made no difference, because if he wasn't in the room then I would simply check Logan's or the commons. I would find Patton, eventually.

"1...." I tried to say it loud enough for him to hear incase he was under mountains of pillows or simply hadn't heard before, but it was difficult to keep it under the level of shouting.
"2....." I continued, moving closer to the door so that he would hear me if he hadn't before, and that maybe he would understand what was going on.
"3....." I could see Virgil's worried face out of the corner of my eye. I hoped Patton was okay, Logan had just wandered from where he had been before to his room, and then returned to the commons with another book in hand.
"4...." Logan didn't stop to notice I was about to open Patton's door, and hen he bumped into Virgil. Even from here I could hear they're conversation.
"5...." I gave him one last chance, making eye contact with Virgil and nodding, and then Logan looked over at me. Time to find out why Patton wasn't himself recently.

"Patton, I'm coming in!" I yelled, opening the door. There was a bundle of blankets, pillows and teddy bears in the centre of Patton's bed. His room seemed different, re organised. On the bed, a little bit away from the pillows and teddy bears was a book, open on the middle page. It seemed to be filled with photo's. "Hey, you in here?" I asked, my tone softening. Virgil was now at the doorway, and so was Logan. They seemed hidden at the side, but I could almost tell that Virgil was shaking from nerves and wanted to know immediately what was wrong.

I heard a sob from the pile of blankets and teddy bears. I went over and found Patton curled up in the centre. "Hey Roman," he squeaked from inside the middle, his voice cracking with every word. "C-can you....close the d-door?" He asked, looking at me with glasses askew and his face red from the tears.

I went over and closed the door, apologising to Virgil and saying I would tell him everything when I was done.

"There, door closed. Now, what is bothering you, Patton?" I asked, much more serious than I'd usually be. He seemed troubled, and I was ready to defeat anything for my dear friend.

"I-I just feel really sad. I-I d-don't know why." He said, pulling his knees to his chest and re-adjusting his blankets. "And I'm cold." He said, trying to even his breathing out.

"It's okay if you're sad, Patton. Maybe you're just having a rough day? I know that I get upset when I have a rough day." I commented, putting a hand on his back. He lept into my arms and started crying on my shoulder. I was quite happy that I was there to comfort him, he did so much for us. "Now, you can stay in here and recover, if you want. But we're worried, so do come out at some point and give us a smile?" I asked, patting his back. We broke away and he nodded. I smiled, got up, said goodbye, and left.

I feel like he was lying, but he's Morality. He'd never do something like that....unless he felt it would harm us or it was too personal......

Perhaps I would have to speak this over with Fairest before I could make a definite decision that he was okay.

(A/N: Hey! I'm really glad I got this chapter up. Sorry if I got something about being a Yandere wrong, but I don't exactly know what it's like myself. I'm attempting to write what it's like based on the knowledge I have, and the things I hear from other people, so if you see something you want to give me advice to change in future updates, feel free to, as I need the help.
This is a Logicality book, so Roman was just comforting a friend, and I would like to know if you-the people reading this-wanted Prinxiety as well? Because It fits into the plan I have for the story and all I'd have to do is write it in. So far the next chapter will hopefully include a little bit of gore, and a little bit of diddly Darn someone finding out. If not then I'll put Why in the A/N. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter!)
