Their Sides (Patton Sanders X Reader)

Chapter 17-Light in the darkness

Patton's POV

I woke up quite late this morning and I immediately went to check my phone but it wasn't on the bedside table where I left it. That's strange, I thought to myself. However, just before I was about to look for it, I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

Assuming it was Y/N, I immediately ran to answer it and it turns out that I was right. Y/N stood there with a wide smile on her face. However, something seemed slightly off about her but I tried to just ignore it.

"Hey Pumpkin!" I smiled.

"Hey hot stuff" she replied before pulling me into a passionate kiss. Something was definitely off about her. Our kisses were usually soft and gentle and sweet and short not passionate and long. Besides, she's never called me hot stuff before. But maybe she just wanted a little change up. So I just ignored her strange behaivour and decided it was best not to ask any questions because I love her and I trust that she probably has a good reason. Finally after about a minute or two, she pulled away from the kiss.

"So, I was wondering if today you maybe wanted to stay in bed together and, you know-"

"Cuddle and watch a movie?" I interrupted her, knowing what she was going to say. We knew eachother so well and loved eachother enough to finish eachothers' sentences.

"Actually I was thinking more like-"

"Of course I'd love to watch a movie with you. Let me just get dressed first" I interrupted her again before gently shutting the door. All I could hear was a growl from outside the door, which I assumed was her even though I wasn't sure why, and then footsteps storming away.

Y/N's POV

As I sat there in the corner creating a puddle of tears around me, Deceit suddenly appeared in front of me holding a tray with a plate and glass of water on it. I immediately looked up, my face drenched in tears and as I desperately tried to wipe them away, he just rolled his eyes at me.

"Stop being so pathetic. It's not that bad in here"

"S-sorry. I-I just get a-a little...over emotional s-sometimes" I appologised.

He rolled his eyes, "Clearly" he said before throwing the tray in his hands across the floor towards me. "Here, I made you some breakfast. Eat up! I've got a lot planned for today" he smirked. I examined the food, which was just a slice of burnt toast without any butter or jam or anything on top of it. I slowly slid the tray away from me.

"Th-thank you b-but I'm not really hungry"

"I don't care if you are or not! Just eat the damn toast! Unless you want to starve to death!" he yelled at me as I picked up the toast and began to take slow bites out of it. Each bite was torture for my taste buds but I knew that if I didn't eat it, he would do something to me or to Patton and I really didn't want any harm to come to him. He didn't deserve it.

Eating the toast, I noticed Deceit just standing there observing me. His presence was very unsettling but I guess I was going to have to get used to it as I was stuck in here for a while with him as my "boyfriend". I could never truly love him though even if I wanted to, which I really didn't, because my heart belonged to one man and one man only: Patton.

As I ate the disgusting, burnt toast, memories of Patton and I cooking breakfast together came to my mind. Although I wasn't the best cook, I always cooked meals for the other sides and before I met Patton, it was by myself. I used to get so nervous as to whether or not I got the recipe right and whether or not the others would like it so I couldn't really enjoy it as much as I should. And then there was the case of me setting of the fire alarm a few times when there was just too much smoke and no actual fire. That really scared me and I would often end up in tears.

However, cooking with Patton was different and a lot more fun. He helped calm my nerves when I was nervous. We'd both make jokes and laugh and just have a fun time together, often playing around. The food may not have always been perfect but by cooking it together, we added that little bit of love to make it special. Occasionally, the fire alarm went off and I still got petrified just like I used to but this time I had someone who would hold me tight and whisper words of reassurance into my ear whilst telling the others how to stop it. He was always there for me when I needed it the most. He always knew how to comfort me when I was scared. He always knew how to brighten up the darkest days.

But now, he's gone. Well more like I'm gone from him. Oh how I wish he was here to comfort me now.
