Ship: Moceit

Warnings: Idk... Christmas?

For reference, Patton and Deceit are in their late twenties or early thirties, Logan is around 10 or 11, Roman and Remus are about 4 and Virgil is around 1. Deceit is Dad and Patton is Pa or Pop. They also have a puppy in honor of one of my friends getting a puppy today!

Deceit pressed the timer on the camera and gutted back to his sport next to Patton.

Forgetting about the photo, Deceit and Patton tried to calm him down.

1

Remus and Roman took this as their chance to g set out of there. They started running off-screen, tearing off their sweaters as they ran.

Deceit sighed and grabbed the camera, the dog trailing behind him. Whatever photo was produced would have to do, seeing as there was no camera storage left, and he really didn't want to try to get the twins in their sweaters again. Patton sighed shifted the crying baby in his arms.

"Common boys," Patton called out to Roman and Remus. "Time to put the star up.

"Do you think you're strong enough to help me pick up the twins and put a star on the tree?" Deceit asked Logan.

"Of course dad!" Logan said pretending to show off his muscles. They watched as the twins came barreling back into the room with the star in their hands.  Logan let Remus sit on his shoulders and Roman did the same on Deceit. Together the two boys placed the star on the tree.

The boys turned around to find Patton taking a selfie with them in the background with his phone in his free hand. They all gathered around the phone to see their new Christmas card photo. It was perfect.

"Onward steed!" Remus yelled, still ok Logan's shoulders.

"Hey! Wait up! I wanna try!" Roman yelled as he kept off of Deceit's shoulders and ran after them, dragging the pup with him.

"I'll bring dinner out." Patton said to Deceit, handing him the calm baby. After being placed in Deceit's arms, Virgil started crying uncontrollably. Deceit decided to give Virgil some fresh air and stepped out of their house and into the porch.

~Time skip because I'm such a bad writer and have been trying to write this for 2 weeks and have 7 drafts I need to finish writing~

Virgil screamed and kicked his feet against his high-chair, causing his food to go flying across the room. Ultimately the baby food landed on Logan's face, which faced directly across from him. Logan sighed and tried wiping the mush off of his face. The toddlers wearing the red and green paper crowns screamed from excitement and dove under the table, almost crushing their puppy. Deceit sighed and got up from the table, kissing Patton on the head.

"I'll take Virgil and get him ready for bed, m'kay? Logan! Go take a shower and I'll get your onesie ready for you when you're finished." Deceit said. Logan nodded his head and went upstairs.

"You sure you got him babe?" Patton asked Deceit.

"Of course!" Deceit replied, picking up screaming Virgil out of his high-chair.

"Alright hon. 'Common boys. Get out from underneath the table." Roman and Remus responded with a series of giggles that drive the small puppy to run away from them. Remus crawled after him, and Roman hit his head coming out from underneath the table. He started bawling and Remus came back to comfort him. Patton smiled and turned to go Deceit, only to remember he was with Virgil. 'Good' he thought. 'They need some bonding time.'

Deceit was struggling to get Virgil to calm down. Virgil was throwing a hissy fit, throwing his toys across him and Logan's(Logan and his?) room and bawling like crazy. Deceit had searched everywhere, but couldn't find his blanket that had been patched up in purple cloth by Patton. Deceit sighed. He really wanted to get Virgil to like him, but ever since he started teething, he hated him. Deceit decided to place Virgil in his crib until he found something he could calm him down with. Deceit looked around Virgil's side of the room to find anything to pacify the child with. Not even a pacifier.

As he was rummaging through their closet, Virgil suddenly stopped crying. He started giggling. Deceit turned his head so fast he might have broken his neck. He saw Virgil playing with Logan's yellow stuffed snake. Deceit sighed with relief. Virgil had finally stopped crying. Plus, the snake wasn't one of Logan's favorite toys. Deceit quickly placed Logan's onesie out on his bed and then picked up Virgil in his arms. He sat down in the rocking chair next to his crib and held the happy but very sleepy child to his chest. Virgil wrapped one of his small hands around the toy snake, and another around Deceit's thumbs. Deceit smiled as he rocked Virgil back in forth until he fell asleep. Deceit gently placed the smaller one his crib and smiled.

There was a knock at the door. Logan stepped in the room in his old clothes and his hair soaked.

"I'm going to wrap the rest of my presents after I get dressed, okay dad?" Logan said as Deceit walked to the door.

"Okay, just don't stay up too late. Love ya, Lo."

"Love you too dad. Say goodnight to Pops for me." Deceit left the room and headed downstairs.  After helping Patton put the twins to bed with the puppy, they both sat out on the porch to look out into the vast sea of thoughts in the mindscape.

"I love you, Patton." Deceit said as he kissed Patton's check.

"I love you too."
