TRIGGER WARNINGS

Neither of them had expected it. I mean sure they had both fused before, once Roman had introduced the mechanism he created, but never with each other. Virgil had only fused with Roman a couple of times as a way for Roman to assure him it was safe, and Logan only fused with Patton when one of the other sides was experiencing heightened anxiety. However, they can't say neither of them thought about it. They can't say the thought didn't make them happy. Patton was sick and Roman had offered to help him. Remus and Deceit were off doing stars know what. That left Logan and Virgil to do whatever cleaning Patton would usually do. They started with their own rooms, then Logan took out the trash and Virgil cleared off the table in front of the tv, putting whatever things Roman had left in a box for him to take later. They decided to work together on the dishes and put on songs both of them liked. Halfway through the dishes, they decided to take a break, drying their hands off. Neither of them turned off the music as they both went to sit on the couch.

Virgil's shuffling ended up tripping him, and he yelped as his face rushed towards the carpeted floor, shutting his eyes. Logan heard the yelp and dropped his book, reaching to catch Virgil. There was a flash of light as soon as Logan's hand caught Virgil's wrist, and their forms turned into glowing lumps of dark blue and purple with their logos, wrapping around each other. The light combined and took shape, slightly taller than Logan and Virgil. As the light dissipated, the fusion looked up and down at themselves. Logan's stiff pants and Virgil's comfortable ripped skinny jeans turned into slightly baggier black jeans with no rips. Logan's dark blue polo and Virgil's black t-shirt and purple jacket was replaced by a black polo under a dark purple jacket with dark blue accents half-zipped. Logan's tie turned purple with the same patches Virgil's jacket had, and the fusion could feel glasses resting on their eyes. They turn to the tv to see their reflection, black glasses over dark blue eyes with black under-eye makeup and naturally resting brown hair with Thomas' purple streak. They notice the polo and jacket both have a logo, a purple brain with glasses above a blue lightning bolt.

Unfortunately, Roman had gone down to check on them upon Patton's request and saw the whole thing. He squealed in delight, making the new fusion jump. "I apologize but this is so exciting! Tell me, what's your name? Pronouns? Oh and Logan told me to ask about stabilizers and de-stabilizers." The fusion's brain tried desperately to play catch up, registering Roman's words with increasing speed. "N-Nyth. Nyth is my name. Uh, they/them... Stabilizers are, uh, space, Patton, Roman- you-, rain, music, and reading. De-stabilizers are the ocean, Deceit, Remus, and situations that would cause Virgil anxiety."

Roman smiled, "Well Nyth, welcome to the world! I'll tell Logan that information to write down later, for now, you should come to see Patton!" Nyth nodded and pushed up their glasses as they followed Roman back up the stairs. They entered Patton's room a bit nervously, fiddling with their tie. "Patton, I am happy to inform you that Logan and Virgil are absolutely fine... because they fused!" Patton's eyes quickly moved away from the book he was reading and he looked at Nyth with an excited grin, "Hiya kiddo! And what should I call you?" Nyth stopped fiddling with their tie, "Nyth." They told Patton the same information they told Roman and Patton happily clapped.

"It seems you're a pretty stable fusion! I'm happy! But you should be leaving, I don't want to get you sick on your first day fused!" Nyth nodded and left, retreating back to the hall as Roman stayed behind to care for Patton. He looked down the hall to confirm a theory. When Logan or Virgil had fused before, the rooms in the mind palace shifted and made a new one for whatever fusion appeared, but left the original sides' rooms alone. Sure enough, past Virgil's door was a new one, 'Nyth' painted in black letters across it with a couple of glow in the dark star stickers. "Do you wanna- yeah. You? Yes. Okay, here goes nothing." Nyth reached for the door and opened it, revealing a room covered in stars, galaxies, and planets. Bookshelves were in neat rows on the right side of the room, bed with galaxy bedding on the left.

"It's nice," Nyth said, browsing the bookshelves. Various books about animals, space, mythology, and the human body lined the shelves. Nyth grabbed a book on mythology and opened it to a random page. It was about Nyx, the Greek goddess of night. They flipped to another page, this one about Thoth, the Egyptian god of knowledge. Nyth started laughing to themselves quietly, "Clever, my name is a mix of those two." They flopped on the bed and watched the ceiling swirl with a star system they immediately recognized as Alpha Centauri. They pulled a cat plushie close to themselves, "I like this. Being fused. Existing. Let's stay like this. Of course. I enjoy it too." They smiled at themselves and started reading the book they grabbed, content like this.
