Logan's POV

I went up to the fuming Patton cautiously and sat down next to him on the couch. Patton made no indication that he noticed me as a sat down and just continued to eat cookies, staring straight ahead. I sighed.

"What's wrong, Patton?" Patton whipped his head around, suddenly very cheerful.

"You see it too, right! You have to help me get them together!" 

"I'm afraid I don't understand, Patton." I said, pushing my glasses further up the bridge of my nose. 

"Oh c'mon! The way that Roman looks at Virgil! The way Virgil blushed! Do you know what this means?"

"No, not really, but I'm trying to figure it out."

"It's love, Lo! We have to get them together if those oblivious knuckleheads don't have the guts to confront each other!" Patton says, pumping a fist excitedly. Logan smiled at this. 

"I guess it was only a matter of time before you decided to confront them." I sighed. "This is your area of expertise, Patton. I won't stop you from trying to 'get them together'." I said, giving air quotes at the last part. 'Get them together' was a rather strange term. I'd have to add that to my collection of vocabulary words.

"Oh, I won't confront them, they'll confront each other!" Patton explained cheerily. 

"I'm sorry I don't follow what you're saying." 

"We have to make a plan to get them to confess their feelings! I'll call it... Operation Prinxiety!" 

"Prinxiety?"

"The ship name that our fandom has made for Roman X Virgil."

"Ship?" I was utterly confused. I hated this feeling. "Like the watercraft?"

"No, silly. A 'ship' is a slang word. To ship a couple means to have affinity for a pairing in someway." 

"Knowing stuff is my thing. And did you seriously just use the word affinity?"

"I know big words?" Patton said, shrugging. I huffed a laugh. 

"Alright then. I'll go along with your plan. Er... Operation Prinxiety." I said awkwardly. Patton gave me a big smile and jumped up and down. He was so adorable. W- wait. I mean... Er-

"Let's get the others to join! We can all do Operation Prinxiety!" 

"Others?" 

"Just follow me!" Patton grabbed my hand without explanation and together, we sank out.
