(A/N:) Have shitty Moxiety because I'm tired but I love these two. Comments are appreciated. Enjoy.
Third Person P.O.V:
Patton was Thomas's happiest trait, everyone knew that very well. He was morality after all, and if anyone took a moment to get to know him they would see that he was about the most adorable and heartwarming creature in the whole wide world. He was kind, funny, and always seemed to have some method of cheering you up, no matter the situation. He could brighten up even the worst of days with a good old-fashioned dad-joke or a cuddle or two. He was good at distracting the fellow sides from their troubles, whatever they may be, and getting them back on their feet when they were feeling their lowest. Even Roman, the brave and charming prince-like figure had his off-days where he wasn't feeling his usual confident-self when Patton stepped up to plate to make him know how much he was appreciated and loved. Logan also on rare occasion had his moments of self-doubt, even when he knew that it was ridiculously illogical but in these concerning moments Patton would rush to his side, reminding him of his self-worth and everyone's appreciation of him. With Virgil these reminders needed to be far more frequent - he was anxiety after all, so it wasn't exactly surprising that he was normally welled up with self-loathing and doubts of all creeds and colors. Even so, though he was the most challenging to cheer up and it could take some time, Patton was there for him and helped him whenever he needed it.
Patton was happy, had to be happy at all times in order to help his friends. There was always good in the world, in everything and everyone and he always saw that. Patton was one of the major reasons that Thomas was as cheerful and kind as he was and without him, he would be vastly different. Patton saw it as his solemn duty to make sure he always no matter what helped the others and made sure they were as happy as they could be ... even if this meant ignoring his own feelings. "Negative" wasn't a word in Patton's vocabulary, as he saw it it was unnecessary and he never had a reason to be a resident of "frowny town." He was much too busy with the other sides and Thomas to have the time to so much as think about anything other than quaint, happy thoughts. He had obligations, responsibilities that he needed to full full and if he didn't ... well gosh, he'd be letting everyone down, including himself. No, sorrow was never an option ... even if he sometimes secretly wished that it was.

Over the past few days Patton, despite his best efforts, hadn't been feeling like his usual chipper self. He couldn't pinpoint what had caused the mood change, but it was definitely drastic to him. For the first time in a long time, he was having a very difficult time seeing the good in situations. He was ... sad? He couldn't possibly understand why; there was no reason to be upset! There was nothing to stress about or to cause him distress. All of the other sides were doing well, Thomas included. He'd been sleeping well, for once, finally seeming to take some of Logan's advice on a healthy sleeping schedule, though that could be a bit constraining at times. He and his friends were recovering from being sick since they'd all recently gotten ill and there were videoes in the works. All in all, he had no room to be complaining. But then why was he feeling so bad? He just ... couldn't seem to find the good in anything. He couldn't remember a time he'd ever felt this unhappy and that frightened him greatly. The others couldn't see him like this. He just didn't know what he'd do with himself if they found him in such a pitiful state.
He locked himself away in his room for most of the day when things had been getting the absolute worst. He found a way to distract the others with tasks and saying that he felt like taking a nap to bide him some much needed time to himself. Roman and Logan were slightly concerned about Patton and how he was acting a little stranger than usual but as they saw it, this was Patton they were talking about. If something was really the matter, he would surely tell them about it. He was always there for them so, of course, they would be there for him if anything was the matter and they were positive he knew that fairly well. Virgil didn't look at things this way, though. Not nearly.
