Song: Glad he's gone by Tove Lo (I'm so gay for her)
Tw: Underage drinking, a surprising amount of swearwords //If you took a shot every time Remy says a drag race reference I wonder how many chapters it would take before you're drunk//
This chapter is so disjointed and there are like 14677465 different moods but like let's all just chill out instead of criticizing our own creative works how about that
It had been 6 days. Patton had tried, he had sincerely tried but he hadn't been able to say a single word. It had been hard to wake up in the morning without anyone besides him. It had been hard being ignored by Remus or told some small threat over breaking his best friend's heart which only made Pat more unsure if whether or not breaking up with Dee had been the right thing to do. It was hard to try and not listen to the negative voices in his head and failing every time.
It was still hard for him to know whether he would make his friends angry at him or not for talking. Which was why he found himself in the late afternoon of a Friday alone in his room, hidden under a blanket.
He took a deep breath before whispering to himself "Hi m-my nam-me-e is.." His words trailed off when he noticed how raspy his voice was. The only reason he spoke was so it wouldn't keep getting raspier "If I stay q-quiet no one can hu-urt me and I can't-t hurt any-yone else" He reminded himself.
"There you are wrong you small snuggly man!" Remy rose up from a bundle of blankets and trash on the floor posing triumphantly and pointing at the other boy who nearly jumped out of his skin from being startled.
'How long have you been there???' He signed motioning to the floor.
"I dunno girl maybe like 26 hours. I just kind of laid down and then I kept thinking I was going to get up but I never did"
'Roman stood on you yesterday! Why didn't you move?'
"I got a free back massage I won't say no to none of that nah m'am" Remy replied sipping on their coffee. Where did they get it from? Who knows? Maybe they are the god of this universe in secret "Good news is that I got time to listen through Marina's album again and now I feel like eating an orange. It may not sound like much but I haven't eaten a fruit in like foreva"
'That's great kiddo' Remy sat down beside him asking quickly if it was alright to touch him before swinging their arm around his shoulders when they got a yes.
"So what was that with not speaking so no one will hurt you about? No pressure no need to answer but like reality check please being mute won't help ya. Therapy will. Support systems will. Screaming into a pillow will. Trust me I've tried it all and look at me! I got my shit together, who woulda thought. All it took was a shit ton of lying to myself"
Patton shrugged fiddling with his sleeves 'Please don't tell anyone I spoke and please don't make me explain what I said' He signed.
"Aight Aight got you. It's okay. Take your time babe, healing is hard" Remy took one good hard look at him before continuing. "Sweetie you know what you need. One hell of a night out. Tell me who should come with and we'll do it on Saturday kay?"
Patton was quite caught of guard but nodded before signing 'Virgil and Logan'
Really he wanted all his kiddos with him because he didn't feel whole without all his found family but Roman was going to hospital check up so he literally couldn't come with them. The only reason Patton knew about was because Ro had come panicking about it. After a rewatch of Hercules he felt better though. It was nothing serious he just really Really didn't like doctors or hospitals.
Patton started to think about whether he should ask Dee first or not whether he could go out without him. Then he realized that he didn't have to ask him about permission anymore. No more worrying about making him jealous or paranoid. Just freedom.
