The key to my heart is you (Moxiety) [cancelled]

The aftermath

Virgil smiled softly at Patton. He was so cute when he was sleepy, he watched him drift off to sleep. Virgil was tired as well, but he didn't want to sleep. He knew he would have nightmares like always. He had never told anyone about them and he was anxious to sleep next to someone in fear that they would be so bad he would wake up from them, mumble in his sleep, cry. Anything that might give it away, but his attempts at trying to stay awake was a fruitless quest as he soon felt himself drifting off to sleep. He was right to be anxious. The nightmares came. At first it didn't show from the outside aside from a few scared looks on his sleeping face, but he soon started shaking, his eyes tearing up. He also started to mumble in his sleep.

"No,nono..I-I'm sorry. No p-please" he mumbled through crying in his sleep.

Patton awoke when feeling Virgil shaking and mumbling in a scared voice in his sleep, he quickly realised it was a nightmare, he dried of the tears that had fallen on Virgil's face before wrapping his arms around him once more and drawing small circles on his back, trying to calm him, he leaned in close and whispered softly in Virgil's ear

"it okay kitten, nothing going to hurt you, I'll protect you" he hugged him closer in hopes it might calm the sleeping boy.

Virgil kept shaking. His mumbling not stopping at first. "P-Patton...please, d-don't leave me" he said In his sleep but the smell and feeling of Patton holding him close soon came through to Virgil and he started to calm down.

He started breathing normal and felt his nightmares wash away. Soft snoring sounds could be heard from him now as he cuddled closer to Patton. At first Patton got a little worried over what Virgil's nightmare was and made a mental note to ask him once they woke up again. Once Patton noticed that Virgil was calming down though, he let sleep consume him once more. They continued to sleep and cuddle for quite some time until a knock- more like banging- on the door woke them up and Patton flew up at the sudden noise, faceplanting on the floor with a tired oof sound.

Virgil woke up from the loud banging and sat up quickly, but he regretted it as he now felt how sore he was. He scrunched up his face in pain before he looked over at Patton on the floor with a concerned look.

"Are you okay puppy?" Virgil asked, worry in his voice. He wondered who it was at the door. He covered himself up with the blanket since he was still butt naked.

Patton sat up with a tired groan, rubbing his face as he looked over to the clock on his nightstand and saw it read 4.15pm.

"I'm fine" he spoke in a raspy morning voice with a tired smile and stood up and took one of the discarded blankets that had fallen to the floor with him and wrapped himself in it before walking to check who was at the door.

It was Roman outside the door. He smiled as Patton opened the door, not seeming curious as to why Patton was wrapped in just a blanket.

"There you are my good friend! I haven't seen you since this morning" he started but he soon looked a little more serious. "Look, Logan has not yet left his room. He is still crying in there and he won't let me in" he said and glanced over at the logical sides door with a bit of a worried look. "Maybe you should try talking with him again?" He asked and looked back.

Virgil listened to what Roman was saying from where he was on the bed. He knew why Logan was crying and sighed softly.

Patton nodded at Romans words. "I will talk to him" he spoke softly before rushing in and grabbing some fresh clothes from his wardrobe, he stopped in front of the bed and spoke only loud enough for Virgil to hear him.

"you can use some of mine clothes if you want" he planted a quick kiss on Virgil's forehead and then proceeded to rush out the room to the nearest bathroom to change, leaving the door wide open for and awkward eye contact between the remaining sides.

Roman watched as Patton ran to the bathroom, he then turned to only now notice Virgil on the bed. Before he had not questioned why Patton was wrapped in a blanket, thinking he just woke up from a normal nap, but when he saw that Virgil was also wrapped in a blanket he put two and two together. Roman was about to comment on it but Virgil didn't wanna hear it as he was to embarrassed. He reached for a pillow and threw it at Roman. Roman quickly shut the door and the pillow hit it. Roman decided to leave the teasing for later and skidded over to his own room.

Virgil sat on the bed. Blushing. He sighed and got up. He felt very sore, but he picked up on Patton's offer and grabbed some clothes. One of Patton's shirts with a cat on it and some sweatpants, brightblue. They were a little light for Virgil but he decided they were good enoughfor now and laid back down on the bed and cuddled up with the blankets.
