Eyes shot open and an gasp escaped the owners mouth, Patton was gasping for air as he held an arm close to his chest.

His dream. His horrible, agonising dream.. that sweet bittersweetness

He smiled as he remembered the little clip bits of his dream, his little enigma was in his arms smiling as Patton held him close while there lips almost touched.. it was such sweet agony as he knew it wouldn't become true. He bit his lip unless he makes it true he had to spend more time with him he just had too. Luckily for him Roman was very close to his enigma to the point of being brothers.

An delicious jolt ran up his spine as he shivered, now Roman's useless worshiping was now in fact useful. No Patton wasn't an stranger of the act of manipulating in fact he had to learn from an very young age how to grow an backbone in this cruel horrible world, due to his unnatural powers he was often cast aside as an young child even to the point of his parents being an distant memory.

Due to his apathetic nature he had to learn to fit in with society and "play." By its rules and how to act, hence why he was so perfect in that lovely smile he give the town. He'd been often called sociopathic tendencies off Logan at first he thought Logan was wrong and had to no idea but after learning more and more about the Ex scientist and doctor he knew better than to doubt.

He cracked his neck and a slight smile graced his lips, he hoped that Virgil would come down to the cafe again. He jumped of his couch And started to get ready ignoring Logan confused glances, he was thankful that Roman's was such an idiot.. now his little enigma had to run after his messes and Patton, he'll always be close to Roman as he always was.

"What's gotten you so chipper?" Logan asked fixing on his lab coat and finally finding his shoes, the ilnatural being was fixing his hair in the mirror.
"I'm hoping my little enigma will join us in the cafe today." Logan blinked slowly staring. "Birdie's brother?"
Patton only smiled. "Yep." The other stared seeming to bite his pump lips, patton wouldn't deny that Logan was indeed attractive. Long slim face with narrow cheeks, smart looking glasses with green eyes and hair you just want to run your hands in and mess up.

"When will he be here?" However Logan had an currently obsession with his "birdie." Only seeing him once or twice but something make Logan twitch whenever he saw that face, Patton could understand all to well now he found his Enigma the one who'll set free all of his emotions and make him human again. "Dunno up to him when he wants to visit me." That made Logan pout slightly.

"Make him come soon, I'm growing bored." Whining like an child seemed to be Logan's speciality, making Patton shrug. "I see what I can do."

The hours seem to drag in, as many people seemed to only enter the cafe to talk to Patton, what was exhausting every pull of muscle to make an makeshift smile hurt and he only wanted to roll his eyes at the usual slobbering of praise and snap back at them with insults and profanity, which was really rare to hear in this stupid town.

"Fuck.. this is taking so long!" Patton groaned in the back loudly pouring himself an tea to replace the lack of food in his life. He heard Roman chuckle, "aw pat, it's okay we've not got long left." He tried to reason but Patton just scowled. Stiring his tea watching the milk flow into pattern he started to heap out the sugar tin pulling out mountains by his spoon and plopping them in. After an hefty amount of mountain sugars Roman had to step in claiming all the sugar isn't good for his teeth which only made him more sour.

He slipped his tea watching the people in the cafe with an scowl, he groaned in disgust of his warm cup. "It's too sour still." Roman sat down next to him seeming to enjoy the quietness that came with this job. Roman even went so far as to smile at him when Patton caught his eye and place his head on the others shoulder only for an slight moment. Patton seemed to flinch slightly under the touch  making Roman stop automatically and look away.

"Sorry.. I know that you don't-" he only groaned pinching his fingers to his eyes. "You don't like contact I'll just." With that the other walked away muttering something of "stupid." As he passed. Not being fazed of Roman self pitying only continued to slip louder watching the door.

Where are you enigma?

"Roman! Where your brother today?" He asked Loudly as Roman was hiding in the back, an sniff was heard and then an confused little squeak. "Virgil? He's at home." Patton eyes drooped and he tightened his grip on the cup.
"Ah, disappointing." He muttered.
"Can I ask why you're interested?" The tone was quite and hesitant in Roman's voice but once again Patton dismissed it.

"Just making sure you weren't messing up again like yesterday that's all." He felt the pile rise in his throat his tone sounding sweet and caring making his stomach turn and swim. Roman blinked An couple of times feeling his face fluster slightly.

"Was that.. him looking out for me?" He asked himself internally, feeling an wide smile on his face. "So he does care about me." He whispered, he gently wiped his eyes. "Ah yeah sorry for all that bother." He heard a shuffle and Patton was standing at the back door with now a empty cup.
"Doesn't matter to me, I don't run this cafe." He walked past Roman but before he did he placed an hand on his shoulder giving it an comforting squeeze.

"You should invite him again, surely it gets boring with just me here." Patton groaned walking ahead to make another cup, Roman twirled smiling.
"Yeah sure, but how can I be bored of my Saint?" You'll never know how much these times mean to me.

Hidden, Patton rolled his eyes resisting the urge to hit the other the now for that stupid comment. "Ah, well.." Patton drawled pouring the sugar in the cup. Bringing it up to his lips and sipping.

Finally. The tea was sweet.
