~Patton's POV~
I usually wake up pretty early. Not because I necessarily have to, but because I want to.
I like preparing breakfast for all the sides, yes, even the dark sides. I feel obligated to, but I don't see it as a chore or a burden. I like feeding them, I like taking care of them.
I am the dad.
I was heading downstairs to the kitchen, and no surprise, Logan was awake. I smile and greet him.
"Good morning, Patton." Logan says with a small nod. "Would you like some coffee or something, Logan? I'm about to start breakfast." I tell him.
"That would be nice, but you don't have to do that, Patton. I'm fully capable of doing so myself." Logan says, looking at me.
"I know, but I just like making food and stuff for everyone! So I'll make you some coffee." I tell him.
So, that's what I did. I went to the kitchen and started on Logan's coffee while also starting on breakfast for everyone.
I'm making them waffles, and everyone likes putting different things on top of them, so I got everything out and set it on the table.
Logan's coffee gets done as I put one of the waffles on a plate. I pour it in a cup and make it the way I know Logan likes before walking to the living room where he was reading.
"Here you go, Logan!" I say, handing him the cup. "Thank you Patton, really." he says with a very small smile of grattitude.
I'm very happy.
Once I get done making breakfast, I call everyone to the kitchen, and most of them come eat. Virgil must still be asleep, but I wanted to be sure he's okay. I go up to his room quietly and knock, hearing no response. I peek in and yep, he's asleep. Okay, he's safe.
I go back downstairs and started eating after saving some for Virgil for when he wakes up.
After everyone was done, I picked up all of their plates and stuff they used and started washing the dishes.
"Padre, you don't have to do that for us you know?" Roman says, looking at me. As I'm washing off a plate, I glance at him with a smile. "I know Roman, but it's okay! Now you go have fun okay?" I tell him, to which he hesitantly nods and goes to his room.
Everyone seems so happy and calm since Thomas got into a relationship. I, being Thomas's heart, grew attached to his boyfriend rather quickly, and he makes Thomas happy. And whatever makes Thomas happy, makes me happy.
After doing the dishes, I go to check on everyone before doing the laundry. I usually relax and color or something as the clothes are in the wash, which is what I'm doing right now.
As I was coloring a picture of a puppy, I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I say happily. Virgil walks in and closed the door, looking a little upset by something. I put my coloring book and things away before sitting up.
"Aww, kiddo, what's wrong?! Come sit, talk to me." I say, patting the bed next to me. "I-" Virgil sighs, and walks over, sitting somewhat next to me. He's shy.
"So what's bothering you, kiddo?" I ask him. "I-i don't know, I'm... Anxious.. Scared I guess.." he mumbles, playing with his sleeve.
I frown a little. "Aww, about what Virgil?" I ask. "W-well... I don't know.. I'm just scared for the relationship.. L-like... I'm scared that it's gonna end bad..."
"Oh.. W-well, there's always hope, Virgil! It'll be okay!" I tell him. To be honest, I've been fearing that myself.
Virgil looks at me and frowns. "You.. You stuttered. Are you okay?" he asks, catching me slightly off guard. "I- yeah! Why wouldn't I be? Oh, and also, there's breakfast for you in the fridge, kiddo, go eat." I tell him.
Virgil frowns but nods slowly, standing up and going downstairs.
A short while later, the washer goes off, so I head to the laundry room and switch the clothes over to the dryer.
Everything is fine.
~Virgil's POV~
I've never seen a moment of doubt in Patton's eyes before, even if it was only for a moment.
When I brought up how I was scared about the relationship ending, his facial expression went sad for a moment, almost as if he's scared of the same thing happening.
But what do I know? He's Thomas's heart, of course he'd feel things like sympathy and empathy..
Still, I can't shake the feeling that there's something he's not saying. But then again, wouldn't everyone be afraid of a relationship ending?
Maybe it's nothing. Maybe I'm just being para...
No. Maybe I'm just over thinking.
Maybe everything is fine..
