A couple of favours (A Sanders sides fanfiction)

Chapter 33

Patton's P.O.V

I felt like a marshmallow. I was wearing a jumper and a warm fluffy coat. I had a woolly hat covering my ears and my fingers were snuggled in a pair of thick, grey gloves. Storm was bouncing around my legs and yapping. 

"Aw Storm I know you want to come but the fireworks are scary," I cooed and crouched down, scratching her between her ears. Someone knocked on my door.

"Patton, are you ready?" Logan called through the door. We were going to see a firework display. All four of us. It was the first time in a while all four of us had spent time together. I'd been spending time with Logan. Roman and Virgil had been hanging out. We'd sort of drifted apart. 

"Yup! Just coming!" I called back, grabbing my yellow and grey Hufflepuff scarf laying on my bed and wrapping it around my neck. I patted Storm one last time and left. 

Roman and Virgil were waiting by the door, both dressed warmly, looking like marshmallows too. 

"We ready to go?" I asked as cheerily as possible, attempting to ignore the elephant in the room. They both ignored me. Oh well. 

We arrived early, yet people were already buzzing around the stalls. The air was filled with the sweet scent of popcorn and candyfloss. Loud carnival music blasted from the fairground rides. The fireworks were being set up at the far end of the field, away from the busy crowds. We still had ten minutes until they started. 

"Please, please, can we get some candyfloss!" I turned to Logan and started jumping up and down. Logan looked sceptical until Virgil replied;

"I'll get you some, Pat." He said hesitantly. I was kind of shocked, I hadn't expected Virgil to talk to me, let alone get me food. 

"Oh-Ok" I glanced at Logan and he just shrugged. The queue was long and we had to wait a while, for most of it we stood in silence. There was just one person left in front of us when Virgil cleared his throat like he was going to speak. I turned to face him and he looked anxious. I mean more anxious than usual. 

"Pat, I need to talk to you about some-" He started but was cut off by the candyfloss woman asking what we'd like to order. I ignored what he said. I didn't want to talk about anything serious. We were out to have a good time. We could talk later. The Lady handed over a giant pink cloud on a stick and Virgil handed over the money. As we walked back to Logan and Roman I sunk my face into the fluffy cloud of sugar. 

"Pat, I really need to tell you-" Virgil was cut off again the bang that echoed above us.

"Come on! They're starting!" I exclaimed and rushed ahead to stand next to Roman and Logan. The dark night sky above us exploded in colour and I gasped in awe. The four of us stood in a row, gaping at the vibrant explosions. For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel as if everything was crumbling around me.

Logan's P.O.V 

I stood at Patton's door for a few seconds. I could hear him talking to Storm. Then I knocked on the door.

"Patton are you ready?" I heard some rustling before he replied.

"Yup! Just coming!" A few seconds later the door opened and Patton emerged. When we met with Roman and Virgil, even I could sense the awkwardness between them. Patton, however, decided to ignore it and smiled cheerfully. This was going to be one odd outing. 

It looked like any other fair set up in a field. The occasional fairground ride and multiple food stands that were serving dodgy looking food were near the entrance. At the end of the field, a section was fenced off and the fireworks were being set up the other side of the fence. Patton looked like a kid in a candy shop. Or a kid at a fairground. His face lit up with joy, Roman and Virgil, however, looked calm and relaxed. 

" Please, please, can we get some candyfloss!" Patton begged, already looking giddy. I was sceptical. If just smelling sugar was doing this to Patton, I shuddered at the thought of what actually ingesting it would do to him.

"I'll get you some," Virgil offered. Well, that was unusual, considering Virgil's less than friendly attitude towards Patton lately. Why would he offer to buy something for him? Oh. It was a peace offering. Patton looked to me and I just shrugged. I mean...What's the worst that could happen? 

Roman's P.O.V

Fifteen minutes before our first outing as a four in a long time Virgil came to my room. He said he needed to talk to me about something so I let him in my room. 

"I'm going to tell them," He announced. Oh. I mean I couldn't blame him. It'd been three months since he came to me asking for help. We'd been hanging out almost every day for those three months, occasionally talking about his 'problem'. It was enough time to get over a crush. 

"O-oh. Are you sure that's a good idea?" I stuttered. Why am I stuttering? I suppose things would go back to normal now. We wouldn't need to spend so much time together. My heart ached a little at that. I'd miss it. Him. Us. Spending time together. I mean he wouldn't need to anymore.

"Yes. No. I don't know? Ugh, I was so confident about it earlier. I had the courage, now I'm not so sure," He groaned in frustration. He looked terrified.

"If you're ready to, it's a good idea," I stated. 

"Right then. I'll do it. Today. Later." He took a deep breath. "Let's go then," I felt as nervous as Virgil looked. I shouldn't be nervous. Should I? What is happening to me? 

(A/N MERRY CHRISTMAAAAAAAS! Well, It's a bit late. And some people don't celebrate Christmas. Um. Happy new year? Yeah...so let's start again.
