Thomas had been feeling horrible for most of the morning. He didn't understand why. He went to bed happy last night, had everything he needed, and was ahead of schedule, yet he was just so down in the dumps. He tried focusing on something happy like cute cat videos or his friends, but what should have cheered him up was just making him even sadder. He was so sad he couldn't even finish his breakfast.

He curled up on the couch, after discovering his efforts were fruitless and began to rock himself, much like his mother did when he was crying as a child. He felt useless in every which way and grabbed a hoodie, hoping it would help, but he still felt tears pricking at the corners of his eyes.

A presence materialized next to him, and a hand began to run through his hair comfortingly. Thomas's sniffles slowly subsided as he leaned into the touch and laid his head on the owner of the hand's lap. As his eyes fluttered open, the human was quite surprised to find black skinny jeans instead of cargo pants or jeans.

"Virgil...?" Thomas whispered quietly.

"Shhhh..." He shushed him gently and pulled him closer.

"I feel...I feel so bad...Virge." His voice broke a little, and the anxious aspect gave a sympathetic frown.

"I know Thomas."

"Why...?" Thomas choked back a sob, feeling a small wave of relief hit him as Virgil cuddled him closer.

"It's ok to be sad sometimes. Even if there's no reason. Logan told me that sometimes if one experiences too much happiness, there might be an imbalance of hormones. And the body would need to adjust the imbalance by..." Thomas nodded as Virgil's voice trailed off, indicating he understood.

"By...being sad..." Thomas finished. "I don't like it though. I don't like being sad for no reason."

"Neither does Patton." Virgil replied sadly.

"Oh no...oh no. Patton." Thomas whispered and quickly wiped his eyes. He summoned the moral aspect and his fears were confirmed as he appeared, curled up and bawling on the carpet of the living room.

"Oh, buddy..." Thomas crawled over to the saddened aspect and gathered him, leading him over to the couch where Virgil was sitting. The anxious aspect reached out to Patton.

"I can take it from here, Thomas." He was skeptical, but helped Patton secure himself in Virgil's arms. Thomas's fears quickly melted away as he watched the moral aspect desperately cuddle up next to the ex-dark-side.

"Awww..." Thomas felt the knot in his chest loosen ever so slightly at the cute scene in front of him. He took a deep breath and sat on the other side of the couch, giving his two aspect's whatever space they needed. Never before had he seen Virgil cuddle anyone like that and it was almost refreshing to see just how much the anxious aspect cared about Thomas's emotional well-being.

With each deep breath that escaped and refilled Thomas's lungs successively, he felt himself slowly come back into an emotionally stable environment. He stole a glance at the two cuddling aspects and was relieved to find that Patton had stopped crying and was only sniffling into the crook of Virgil's neck. Thomas smiled at the hooded aspect, who merely rolled his eyes as if to say "dont expect me to do this all the time." But Patton's arms tightening around Virgil's form told Thomas that cuddling was a recurring action between them.
