(LAMP) The orphanage of secrets (poly sanders)

Fifteen

Patton and I were alone today, Virgil and Roman had to go and help the school's drama club. Roman also needed to practice his lines anyways and Virgil always helps out with the props.

Patton was helping Mx Joan reorganize their reports whilst I spell checked their next few one's.

I almost laughed at their one mistake. Joan misspelled 'maybe'! Good grief.

Half an hour later, we all finished and bid Joan goodbye. As Patton and I walked out, we saw Deceit waiting for us. He walked up towards us. "Well, well, well, well, well."

"What well?" Patton asked innocently. "Are you planning on making wishes?"

Deceit smirks. "I don't know, am I?"

I was confused about this conversation already. "Would you not know if you were going to a well to make a wish?"

Deceit chuckles darkly. "Oh Logan, naive little Leonardo." His face suddenly darkens. "We still need to have our little talk... But until then, I shall gladly leave you all be. Chow!" He said joyously. He practically skipped away.

"What was that about?" I found myself asking.

"He seems happy." Patton says, smiling.

I frowned and looked at him. "Pat... He is the enemy! If he is happy, something will happen."

I heard Patton sigh. "Everyone deserves to be happy."

The frown never left my face. "I understanding that... But he is Deceit!"

Patton just shakes his head. "If you say so Lo-Lo. But now it's your turn to be happy!" He exclaimed as he started walking towards the front doors. I quickly followed him.

"I am happy, Pat. Why would I not be?" I swiftly told him. "I have the three of you! I could never have asked for anything better. You all make me happy." I told him as we wondered, next to each other, outside on the grounds.

Patton sighs. "I know... I just sometimes worry that I'm doing something wrong, or if I'm too-" I held his hand. We stopped walking.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down there." I held his face in both of my hands. "You are perfect, okay? You are enough. We love you and we care for you... Okay?" I softly told him.

He softly started crying. I held him in my arms. I rubbed his back in a comforting way. "I'm sorry! I didn't- I'm so sorry!" He hiccuped.

"Shhh. It is okay, Patton. We're never leaving you." He cried harder. Fuck. What did I say!?

"I just love you guys so much! I know that Deceit is planning something! I'm not stupid! I just wish I could protect you all..." He wailed.

"Hey... Let's go to our room, yeah?" He nodded. We slowly walked back towards our room. I was holding his side the whole way there.

In our room, we say that Virgil and Roman took two of our mattresses and made a big bed on the floor. They were waiting for us.

"How did you-?"

"I can read your minds, remember?" Virgil says as he helps me lay Patton down.

This day keeps getting weirder and weirder.

You think that Deceit is planning something?     I heard Virgil ask me.

Yeah. I just have this feeling.       I told him.

We all just laid down and cuddled up with each other. And if a few ' I love you's ' were said, who am I to babble?
