Analogical Part 15

Patton's POV

"It's ok kiddo, he won't tell Thomas, he's a prince of his word." I say, trying to calm my dark, strange son.

As soon as Roman sank into Thomas's consciousness Virgil started rocking back and forth, clearly on the edge of another panic attack.

I want to give him a hug so bad, but I don't want to freak him out even more. I turn to Logan, and he clearly doesn't know what to say. I would even say- 

Oh no. Logan's gonna panic. DAD MODE: ACTIVATE!

I pull Logan aside and lift his chin to look at me. 

"Kiddo, you know we can't help if you panic. I need you to be a big boy right now so we can help Virgil, okay?" I say to Logan as calmly and supportive as possible.

"O-Okay." Logan responds shakily. I give him the most supportive look I can muster up and turn back to Virgil.

Logan's POV

I hate that Patton treated me like a child. I am a "big boy" thank you. 

But I suppose he's right; I have to stay calm to be able to help Virge. 

I steady my voice as much as I can and say okay. My voice still shakes, but at least I'm not about to pass out anymore.
