"Dada? I can't find my blue cwayon." Virgil waved his hand in Remus' face. Remus looked up from where he was chomping on an azure crayon, "I don't have it!" He shoved the rest in his mouth and shrugged.

Tears welled up in Virgil's eyes, "Daddy? Dada ate my cwayon." Tears started falling and the little boy let out a whine. 

Deceit rolled his eyes, "Stop your whining. You're lucky we're putting up with your shit. Let your Dada do whatever the fuck he wants." 

Virgil wiped his tears away, "I'm sowwy."

Deceit scoffed, "You should be, making us wait for you to finish playing. You know we don't want to watch you color, you know what we want."

Virgil shivered, "Yes, Daddy." He slowly put his coloring book and crayons away, and walked to where his "daddies" sat. 

"Good boy." Deceit smirked.

Logan flipped the last egg onto a plate and slid it over to where Roman sat. He walked over and sat down next to him and Patton, and started eating breakfast. 

"Patton, darling, can you pass the salt?" Roman asked. Patton handed the creative side the salt and pepper. 

Logan took a breath and looked towards the fourth egg, sitting untouched on the other end of the counter, "Have either of you seen Anxiety today? He's normally down for breakfast by now."

Roman shook his head, "Maybe he slept in, I'll go wake him."

Patton smiled at the creative side, "Thanks puppy. We'll talk to him once he's down here."

Roman got up and walked down the hall. 

___

Roman walked down the hall to Anxiety's room. Anxiety's room was next to his, with Patton and Logan's rooms across the hall. He knocked, and waited a minute. He heard a short, muffled groan, and then shuffling. 

The door opened, and a messy mop of brown hair poked out of the room, "Hey Princey, wha' do you wan'?" His voice was tired, scratchy, and a bit childish? Well, Roman thought, he did just wake up.

Roman opened his mouth to inform the anxious side that breakfast was ready, but stopped as he looked closer at Anxiety's face. His eyes were red and swollen, and tear tracks ran down his face. And, wait, was that a bruise?

"Princey? Hey, you good?" Anxiety was looking at him concernedly.

Roman tore his gaze away from the injury peeking out of the other sides hoodie and answered, "Uh, Logan made breakfast, there's an egg on the counter if you want it."

Anxitety nodded slightly, "Thanks Princey. I'll be down in a bit." 

The creative side turned to walk back to the kitchen as Anxiety shut the door.

"He'll be down soon." Roman announced to the other traits once he made it into the common area. 

Patton had just finished washing dishes, and Logan had started working on a new schedule. Ever since the three traits had gotten together, Logan had been better about not shutting himself up in his room to work all day. 

In fact, lots of things had gotten better since that day.

Roman and Logan were fighting again. It had been going on for hours, and even they didn't remember how it started. The two sides were prideful, and they couldn't bear to let the other "win."

Patton was upset, he didn't want to watch the two sides he had grown to care so much for fight. They really didn't mean anything by what they were saying, they were just caught up in anger, and he wished he could help them to see that arguing wasn't the answer.

Patton looked over, almost in tears, and realized he couldn't take it anymore, "STOP! Okay? Just, just stop." He wiped his eyes, "Can't you see that you're hurting each other? That you're hurting me? And Thomas... I can't imagine how awful he must feel, having his logic and dreams constantly at each others throats." The moral side shook his head sadly and sat down on the couch. 

The arguing ceased as Logan and Roman realized how upset the dad figure was. They sheepishly avoided each others eyes, and immense guilt filled their chests as they reflected on what they had said in the heat of the moment.

Logan faced Patton's eyes,"I apologize Patton. I hadn't realized just how out of hand we had gotten." He turned to Roman, "Please understand, I am sincerely sorry. I truly do not believe the... horrid things I said. You are excellent at your job, and I, well, I appreciate you. Immensely."

Roman took a breath to calm down. He hadn't meant anything he had said either. He knew he had a horrible temper, and rarely stopped to think before he acted. He knew he had to apologize, but how? How do you apologize to the ones you love, when you have hurt them?

Roman sighed despairingly, "Forgive me, please. I have acted like filth. I have not treated you kindly, like I should as a prince. The truth is, you intimidate me. You are so together, so calm. So.... so perfect. I know that this does not excuse my behavior, however, I hope you find my apology satisfactory."

Logan was shocked, perfect? The prince thought he was perfect? He started to say something, but was cut off by a squeal from Patton, "Awwww! Roman that was so nice!! And Logan, oh you two are the best! I'm so proud of you for owning up to your actions! I love you! I love you two so much!" He froze, realizing what he had blurted out, and a deep red blush crept up his face. He glanced up at the other two in a panic, but calmed a bit when he saw the smiles on the other sides' faces. 

Roman grinned so wide it seemed like his face would spit in two, "Patton, did you mean that in the way I think you did?"

Patton blushed more if it was possible, and slowly and cautiously asked, "Uh, is that okay?"

Roman shrieked and jumped on Patton, "YES!" He near-screamed, hugging the fatherly trait tightly, "I love you! I love you all!"

Patton slowly put his arms around Roman, coming out of his shock. Logan leaned down and joined the hug, remarking softly but with no less joy, "I love you all as well."

The three sides stayed like that for a while, but eventually they broke apart. Patton went to start making dinner, but turned to the other two, "So, does this mean we're dating now?"

Roman nodded excitedly, "If that is what you and the nerd desire, I would be overjoyed to call you mine."

Logan pushed his glasses up his nose, and said with a small, barley contained smile,"I would find that arrangement more than satisfactory."

Patton squealed and hugged them again, "Yes! Finally! Oh this is the best day ever!"
