Patton tucked Roman and Virgil into bed before going to his own.

He closed the door softly and sighed. "Hello, Envy."

"Oh, so you found me. How sweet." Envy said sarcastically as he came out of hiding. "How's Jason Deceitful?"

"Why do you care? You're nothing but an asshole to everyone." Patton glared. Envy mocked hurt.

"I think you got me mixed up with Römische. He's the asshole of us all!" Envy spoke with venom. "And if I remember correctly, you don't appreciate him."

Patton rubbed his temples. "I gave you a chance Envy, you chose to go with Apathy. Besides, Self Doubt is on Deceit's side. I'm only tolerating him until Deceit is better. As soon as my snek son is healed, I'll send Self Doubt on his jolly way."

"...I didn't choose to go with Dark Leader, he forced me to. He usually doesn't give a shit about anything unless Deceit's involved...Dark Leader is changing Morality, he's turning into a monster..." With that said Envy left with a snap of his fingers.

Patton sighed and climbed into bed, not bothering to get into his onesie. He thought over what Envy said before drifting into sleep.

>>>>Morning Time<<<<

The light sides woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. Patton skipped down the stairs, followed by a very confused Roman and Virgil, and went to the kitchen.

"Römische! Stop eating all the blueberries!" Depression giggled, trying to get the dark prince to give him the blueberry container.

"But Myles, you know I love sour blueberries!" Self Doubt whined, reluctantly handing the shorter one the container. "Ray! Stop eating the whip cream!"

"Make me Prince Boi," Rage snickered. He was sitting on the counter with a can of Redi Whip. Self Doubt rolled his eyes and took the can from him.

"We're never going to finish making breakfast at this rate if the two of you don't stop acting gay for each other." Depression smirked. That earned him two groans from his friends.

"Eww! As if! We do NOT love each other like that!" The two stated, blushing darkly while making disgusted faces. "We're brother figures to each other, just as we are to you."

"Mhm, keep telling yourselves that.." Myles stated as he flipped a pancake. He began to hum a Newsies song.

Self Doubt instantly recognized the song and started singing it, "Newsies need our help today! Tell 'em Brooklyn's on our way!"

Patton started giggling, making the three dark sides freeze in place and fall completely silent. "Mornin' kiddos."

"M-morning Morality." Rage stuttered quietly.

"We didn't wake you, did we?" Depression asked, flipping a pancake over. He looked at the bacon and panicked when he saw the edges were slightly burnt. "We just wanted to show how thankful we are by making breakfast."

"Actually, you two wanted to do it, I was here to make sure neither of you are kidnapped." Self Doubt  stated, all signs of his soft side were nonexistent. He spotted Roman and Virgil behind Patton and panic set in. "H-hey, Rage, mind helping me bring food to Logan?"

"Mm, sure." Rage hopped off the counter and grabbed two plates of food from Depression; one for Logan and one for Deceit. He handed Self Doubt one of the plates and the two made their way upstairs.

"Before you ask, Logan came in our room last night and told us that he was successfully able to remove the stitches. There was a lot of struggling on Dad's part and it took longer than he had hoped, but with a lot of rest and not talking for a few days, he'll make full recovery." Depression explained. "How many pancakes do ya want?"
