My Emo Nightmare

Valentine's Day

As a late thank you for 100 followers, there's some logicality fluff at the beginning ;) and I know Logan's name reveal was after the Valentines Day video but shhhhhhhhhh it's fine.

Patton's pov
It was super early in the morning, and I was the only one up. I'm sure Anx would be up, but it's so early it would just be a sleepless night for him if he was. I wonder why he prefers for everyone to call him Anxiety. As the dad of the group, I took the liberty of finding out his name but it's so cute I don't get why he'd feel he needed to hide it.

I walked over to the opening of the tent but looked behind me to see Logan; hair all over the place, and glasses crooked. I sighed softly and, with a smile, walked over and slowly took his glasses off. I set them to the side, thinking I successfully didn't wake him. I was wrong.

Logan grabbed my wrist sleepily and mumbled, something along the lines of "Thanks..." and then some more mumbling, all the while keeping his eyes closed.

"Sorry, what?" I asked quietly, smiling a bit bigger.

"Thanks, Sunshine." He rolled over and wrapped his arms around mine, still very tired and not processing the situation.

I felt my face grow pink, "Lo.... I have to get up and make breakfast."

He grabbed my other arm and pulled me down onto the blankets next to him, "Someone else will do it." He muttered.

I chuckled softly, "You make a compelling case."

He made a noise of agreement and I grinned, kissing his nose. He buried his head into the blankets.

"Lo, I really need you to not be adorable for two seconds, so I can get us both up."

"I'm not adorable, I'm just tired." He opened his eyes and blinked slowly as if to wake up.

"Of course, I'm sorry. You're beautiful eyes aren't cute," I put a hand on his cheek, "your hair and how it's so fluffy isn't amazing," I moved my hand through his hair, "and how you have freckles but no one can really tell unless they're so close they can do this." I pulled him closer from the back of his head and kissed his lips, then his cheek again.

"And once they start doing this, there's no way they can stop because you're just so addictive and perfect. And I don't know how I got so lucky, but I never want to let you go." I locked my hand with his and kissed his neck.

"I—.... Patton....?" He mumbled in a quiet confused tone.

"I know that all sounds sudden, and you're expecting an explanation for why I'm tell you about how much I love you, but I just do. And I can't believe I'm with you right now." I tightened my grip on his hands and then let go completely, wrapping my arms under his and hiding in his chest.

Do I think it's important to remind people how amazing they are? Yes. But also, I have a feeling something big is about to happen and with this war, I'm afraid one of us won't make it. I just made a new family, I don't want to loose it again.

Logan surprised me when he kissed the top of my head and whispered, "I love you too. I've never been this sure when it comes to feelings, but I know this is real. And this time, I'll protect you."

I smiled and curled into him more, not fully processing that last sentence. I hadn't realized it before, but Logan's voice lowers when he's just waking up.

But just the thought of him talking like this under different circumstances made me squirm a bit.

"Something wrong?" He asked.

Before I could answer, I felt a tug. Perfect timing Thomas, I don't know if I could stand another second so close to him without... doing things.

I sunk down and popped up in Thomas's living room corner.

Logan was second to appear, I caught him looking at me more than once just to make sure I was okay.

Prince was third, obviously sleepy, and in his pajamas.

"Princey!" I smiled and waved at him, gosh it's been a while.

"Are your two okay? You act like you haven't seen each other in years." Thomas commented.

I forgot we have to act like it's a regular day.

"But of course, he's just being friendly Morality.  The question is, are you okay Thomas?"

Thomas nodded, confused and Roman smiled dazzlingly, "The everything's practically perfect in every way."

Thomas shrugged and tried to summon Virgil again. "Why isn't this working?" He asked.

Finally, I summoned him the same time as Thomas and Anx popped up, "I was sleeping, life was good, what do you want?"

"We're filming another video today!" Thomas clapped, a smile spreading across his face.

"You couldn't have procrastinated a bit longer?" Anxiety asked, full of snark.

"Now kiddo, what do we know about people that are trying to make the world a better place? We shouldn't criticize them."

Virgil rolled his eyes but stayed quiet.

"Okay, we're shooting a Valentine's Day video. So sink back down and we'll get started." Thomas smiled.

"But it's not Valentine's Day yet. Valentine's Day is in about three months." I pointed out.

"I'll post it on Valentine's Day." Thomas answered.

Virgil's pov
As the video progressed everyone just kept making shittier ideas for how to get a date and I was getting really fed up. I'm sick of hearing Roman's voice, it's like a fucking constant bubble of arrogance. All I can remember him saying is "...Parasite!"

Finally I gave them the obvious solution, keeping in mind I'm still pegged as the bad guy and I need it to seem like I don't care, "Look all I'm saying is that this is a waste of time! Psyching yourself out over cheap tactics that've never been useful to you before. I mean, seriously Thomas! In any past relationship you've ever been in, haven't they always developed when you least expected them to?!"

As they all started to realize I was right, I muttered, "I wasn't trying to... help."

—later in the video made by human perfection-

"Honestly, my way would've totally worked guys." Roman said. We had to be careful about what we said because Thomas was in the kitchen

I scoffed, "It totally would not have."

"You think you can do better?" Logan asked, smirking.

I snapped, "Better than that."

Patton smiled, "Then you get a turn!"

I sighed, "Fine, first you take her by the hand, then you—" I reached for Valorie's hand but looked up to see Prince.

We both yelled, and I yanked my hand away, subtly putting the note he slipped me into my pocket.

We all sunk down and sat in the house living room again.

"Where's Roman?" Patton asked, worried.

I looked around and realized he wasn't here. But.... that shouldn't be possible. Any main side has to end up back at the house when they leave the mind.

Confused, I pulled out the note Prince slipped me. It read:

𝓢𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓭. 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽, 𝓘 𝓼𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭𝓷'𝓽 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓱𝓲𝓶. 𝓟𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮, 𝓘 𝓷𝓮𝓮

Maybe he didn't have enough time to finish writing. Makes sense since he puts so much effort into a stupid thing.

....God I hate him.

I shoved the note into Logan's hands and headed out of the door yet again.

I heard them following behind.

God, what has this stupid Prince gotten himself into this time?

Okay, I'm low key very proud of the fluff in the beginning. Hope you liked this! Sorry for any misspelling once again :)
