Sanders Sides ONE SHOTS

A Bloody Surprise • Moxiety

Virgil sat comfortably on his bed with his knees hugged tightly across his chest, watching one of his favourite horror movies— The 2018 remake of "Halloween"— on his wall-mounted TV. He had locked locked his door (or so he thought) and the volume was on just the perfect setting so that no one outside could hear the screams through his door.

He had his hood pulled over his head so that his purple fringe hung over his eyes, just barely allowing him to see. He had gotten so invested in the movie that he didn't even hear Patton calling out to him from the other side of the door, knocking softly.

"Kiddo? Are you alright in there?"

No response.

Patton sighed. "Virgil?"

Nothing.

Patton furrowed his eyebrows in concern and placed his hand over the cold doorknob, testing to see if it was unlocked by slowly twisting it. Sure enough, the door opened with a quick and quiet clicking noise.

Patton gently pushed opened the door to ensure that he didn't disturb Virgil should he be sleeping, and cringed slightly at the squeaky noise that the door produced. He sighed of relief when he saw Virgil sat curled up in a ball (very adorably might he add) watching.. something.

Virgil heard the sigh and suddenly jumped in surprise, swinging his head over to be greeted with Patton's soft expression staring right back at him. Virgil gasped and speedily, almost like lighting, scattered for the remote control. His hood flew off of his head as he swiftly swept up the remote into his hand pausing it right in the middle of a woman screaming as she watched someone get murdered.

"Hey Pat." Virgil greeted nonchalantly and took a few deep breaths; the sudden scrambling of him trying to pause the movie had knocked the wind out of him. He usually doesn't do the slightest bit of exercise so the sudden jolt of energy really tired him out.

Patton quirked an eyebrow at Virgil, and Virgil was vaguely aware of what was probably going through the moral facet's mind at that very moment.

"What are you watching, Virge?" Patton asked as he turned to look up at the TV, and when he did, Virgil heard him gasp in delight.

Virgil's face contorted into one of confusion. He watched as Patton turned his head back to him with a pleasured smile painted across his features.

"I love this movie!!" Patton squealed. Virgil fell even more confused and narrowed his eyes, obviously very puzzled by the whole situation.

"I—but you— wha— huh?" The anxious trait struggled to form words.

"Can I join you?!" Patton asked excitedly. "Halloween is one of my favourite movies! Same with Logan! Sometimes I'm able to convince Logan to order us some pizza and sit down and watch this very movie with me! Heck if I would've known that you like it too I would've asked you to join sometimes, Virge!" Patton's enthusiastic smile never ceased.

Virgil simply sat and stared at Patton for a few minutes just trying to process what he had said. Once he finally regained his senses, he shook his head in disbelief. "But... how? You're Thomas' morality... and you know what's right and wrong... shouldn't you be saying that horror movies are wrong 'cause they'll give you nightmares?"

Patton giggled wholeheartedly and shook his head softly. "Now you're confusing me with Logan, kiddo."

"But you're the childlike one and... and probably the only one out of all of us who's innocent, what? I thought that you wouldn't watch horror movies since they'll give you nightmares?"

Patton sighed and strolled over to where Virgil sat on the bed, standing on the wooden floor beside him. "Look, Virgil, I know that Roman and Logan are always saying 'oh don't watch horror movies around Patton, they'll give him nightmares!' but seriously, I can take it. I'm not as 'innocent' or 'childlike' as you guys may think," he paused for a breath, watching as Virgil nodded along, "Now... can I join you?" He smiled with a hint of slyness.

Virgil laughed and shook his head, smiling fondly at him. "Of course, ya big sap." Virgil reached his arms out and Patton did the same, wrapping his arms around Virgil before pulling back and climbing into bed as well, instantly cuddling up to Virgil's side.

Virgil smiled lovingly at the man at his side and went to go reach for the remote, when he suddenly remembered something alarming.

His eyes widened in fear and quickly whipped his head around to face Patton once again. "Wait, Patton, you can't stay!"

Patton raised an eyebrow and craned his neck to look back at the emo boy. "Why not?"

"Because!" Virgil exclaimed, gesturing to his and Patton's eyes. "You'll become corrupted and get that black stuff under your eyes! I don't want you to get hurt, Patton!"

Patton only then remembered what Virgil was talking about.

"Ohhhh... that," He chuckled, "Don't worry about it, Virge. Logan made a medicine that will prevent that from happening. It lasts for around six hours after you take some, and I only took some around an hour ago, so I should be fine. As long as I don't stay in here for more than five hours, I should be good. I trust Logan." He smiled brightly.

Virgil sighed of relief. "Oh thank god. I'll have to thank Logan in the morning."

After that bit of reaffirmation, Virgil grabbed the remote and started the movie over from the beginning, cuddling closer to Patton and wrapping his arm around his waist, letting Patton practically fuse with him with how close he was snuggling up to Virgil.

Patton ended up sleeping in Virgil's room that night, both of them forgetting about the effects of being in there for too long once Logan's medicine wore off.

Patton woke Virgil up by stirring and shaking violently in his sleep, gripping onto Virgil tightly, digging his nails into the skin of Virgil's neck and shoulder. Virgil had to quickly wake up Patton and escort Patton back to his room by carrying him. The poor thing couldn't even walk without shaking and falling to the ground.

Virgil made sure to comfort Patton in the moral facet's room for a few minutes until he was sure he was alright and that the black under his eyes had faded away, and then left before he had a panic attack because of the side effects of going Patton's room.

It might've been a bit hectic in the later hours, but it was so worth it.

I am actually really proud of this one. It's super cute and fluffy and adorable

I don't ship Moxiety romantically, but it's a super cute platonic ship so I had to write about it, especially after the latest Sanders Sides video.

Also, how many of you guys have actually seen the new Halloween movie? I have and I love it!

See all of you guys, gals and non-binary pals in the next one shot! (That is if I decide to continue writing in this because it seems like not a lot of people want to read it :/)
