(Brief mention of suicide)
Patton was curled up in Remy's lap. They just got back from the hospital and they were talking about what happened.
"How many times have you tried?" Remy asked quietly.
"Ten." Patton whispered.
Remy hugged Patton tightly, "oh Patt..."
"I-I tried to h-hang myself once," Patton whispered, "t-then I t-tried cutting m-my neck t-the rest of the t-time."
"Babe..." Remy sighed, a tear rolling down his face, "Why didn't you talk to me or Dad?"
Patton sniffed and shrugged. Remy kissed the top of his head, holding him as if he'd dissapear if he let go. They heard the door click open and Percy walked in.
"Hey Patt, I didn't know you were home yet." Percy said, sitting on the couch and hugging his husband and son.
"I got released early." Patton sighed, leaning into his dad's hugs.
Percy hummed and smiled, "how are you doing?"
Patton shrugged, "I don't feel like I failed anymore."
"Patt..." Percy hugged Patton a bit tighter.
"At least that's a little improvement." Remy said.
Patton gave a small smile, "yeah."
"And you're still willing to see Dr. Picani?" Percy asked.
Patton nodded. Percy smiled softly and kissed his husband and the top of Patton's head.
"I'm gonna make some hot coco." Percy said, standing up.
"With extra marshmallows?" Patton asked quietly.
Percy smiled.
"With extra marshmallows." Percy repeated.
