Sanders Sides One-shots

Hoops (OT5 - Poly)

Ship: OT5 Poly (with Thomas!)

Ugh, I'm sorry again guys. Late update. I wanna strangle myself, God.

I know my last fic was Poly, but I came up with this idea and was like '...this has to be Poly. It can't be anything else.'

Focus on Patton!!! I love writing fics focused on him!

This gets kinda heavy towards the end (NOT ANGST), so prepare yourselves for that.

Note is at the bottom!

"Mm," Patton relaxed into the hand combing itself through the locks of his hair. He sighed in delight, leaning into it as fingers lightly scratched at his scalp. .

It'd been a while since he'd taken some time to take it easy. Let's just say things had been rather...messy with Deceit around. And finally, after several months of trying to manage Deceit, all of them could finally take a break.

But it was Patton who had taken a majority of the toll. He'd been responsible for settling disputes (and with numerous stubborn and/or childish traits, that wasn't easy), helping his boyfriends avoid falling for Deceit's provoking (Roman was a particularly good target), reassuring Thomas whenever Deceit made him doubt himself, as well as keeping up with all of his regular tasks like cooking, cleaning, etc.

It'd been a tiring period of time. His sleep cycle would have been rather messed up if it weren't for Virgil literally dragging him to bed the moment he got too overworked.

So it was nice to be able to have a Movie Night together after who-knows-how-long. And he was in his favourite position too; lying across the laps of his all boyfriends. Virgil had been carding his hand through his hair as the rest just made sure he didn't fall off whilst wrapped up in his bliss (it'd happened before) by keeping him close.

"Patt, your hair's starting to get long, huh?" Virgil noted quietly, lightly twisting some of the strands between his fingers.

"Mm hm."

"I suppose I shall book an appointment for the hairdresser?"

"Don't worry about it, Logan dear," He murmured sleepily, "I think I wanna grow it out for a bit."

Logan took one of his hands, pressing a tender kiss onto it. "Very well."

Patton didn't even realize he had begun falling asleep, a gentle smile on his lips.

"Okay, I'll be back soon! Love you!"

"Love you too." The four of them responded, waving as their boyfriend skipped cheerfully towards Pongo. They had no idea why he was going out, but he seemed happy about it, so who were they to pry?

~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, maybe they should pry.

After all, ever since returning home from whatever appointment he had, things had been rather... strange.

Every time they cuddled and someone began carding their hand through his hair, he'd make an excuse to leave.

Now once or twice was believable. But now, it was just suspicious.

After all, he'd said before that having someone run their hand through his hair was one of his favourite feelings (apart from the faint pleasant tingling of his skin whenever someone kissed him).

So what exactly happened that day?

6 months.
