The day had started off as usual, with Patton making all the sides breakfast and now everyone going on with the daily activities wheather that be helping Thomas or just passing the time. It was the latter for Logan as he flipped though the pages of the book that across his lap. Nothing could distract him at that point. Well, that's when he heard a blood curdling scream.

He immediately stood up, placing his book ungracefully to the side. He rushed up the stairs and into Patton's room, where he had heard the scream from, only to find the door was already open. He peered in to see Patton curled up in a ball in a far corner, practically shaking in fear as Virgil was on his knees, rubbing circles in his back as he tried to calm the father figure down. Roman was also there but he wasn't doing shit.

Logan rushed in, quickly on his knees as well. He took hold of both Patton's shoulders, making the man look up at him. There were tears tracks all down Patton's face and his hair was a mess, covered mostly by the cat hoodie Logan himself gave him that he wore for comfort. "Patton? What's wrong? You're hysterical?" Logan cupped his cheeks and wiped his tears away. Patton raised a hand.

"S-spider..." He pointed halfheartedly past Logan to a spider looking creature in the opposite corner of the room. It was tiny especially since the three sides were at a distance. Virgil attempted to stifle a laugh, earning a disappointed look from Logan. "Are you kidding?" Logan turned around and glared at Roman for the harsh comment. He could be so insensitive when he's frustrated sometimes.

Logan sighed, looking back at Virgil. "I'll take care of this, you two." Roman nodded, not holding back a sigh of relief. This time he got a glare from Virgil who also smacked him on the shoulder for being douchebag. They both left the room, probably to make out or something. He turned back to Patton who was looking up at Logan with his giant beautiful hazel eyes though his wonky glasses.

How someone could be frightened and sad still look so adorable? Logan flushed slightly before clearing his throat. Upon taking a closer look, Logan realized it was not a spider, it was instead a daddy long legs, a creature often mistaken as a spider. He looked back at Patton. "Patton, it's a daddy long legs, an opilionid." Patton choked back a sob. "S-so?"

Logan inhaled, ready to drop a bomb of knowledge. "They aren't even actual spiders though they are arachnids and they eat decomposing animals and vegetables. They're completely harmless to humans." Well of course, some have poisonous secretions that kill small animals when the latter eats them but Patton had no need for that information as he most likely didn't want to eat the creature.

Patton processed the information for a moment, letting his legs go but he still seemed tense. Logan sighed, deciding to take drastic measures. He stood up and carefully took hold of the daddy long legs. He sat back down by Patton, holding it out causing him to flinch back and hug the wall. "Relax. I'd never do this if I wasn't sure it was entirely safe." Patton gulped but hesistatly nodded because he trusted Logan.

He held out his arm and Logan gently placed it on his arm. He tensed again as the daddy long legs wandered around his arm. He relaxed when he realized it wasn't doing any harm and, upon looking closer, that it didn't have fangs so couldn't bite him. He giggled. "Hey, this isn't that bad." Logan smiled at Patton. "Do you still want me to set it outside?" Patton shook his head.

Logan smiled and wrapped his arm around his boyfriend as they watched the daddy long legs. It is now Patton's newest child, it's name is Enid and Patton loves it.

I got emotionally attached the daddy long legs.

I remember having one as a pet at my family's beach house and we'd see it every year until about two years ago when my mum actually sprayed it when she was getting rid of the mosquitos. Rip my long legged friend.

Yes, I did research and learned new information for a fucking fanfic.
