Warnings: Swearing, flowers, and drugs(I do not in any way shape or form promote drugs and highly suggest if you use them, that you seek adult guidance and help). Part of this was written before SvSR.

A/N: I have a whole 10 drafts all planned out to release after this one. I plan to write and upload at least one each week. Sorry that I haven't updated sooner, my grandma has Alzheimer's disease and cataracts and she's just been getting worse since this whole pandemic(she lives with us). I appreciate y'all being patient with me while I put out these chapters. Anyways, I kinda fell down a Moduke rabbit hole lately so I pulled this one together quickly. Sorry it's kinda awkward! Also, sorry but there will also be a lot of spelling mistakes because I don't have my spell checker.

Patton hummed the Campfire Song as he plucked weeds in the Mindplace's garden, his pale blue hemmed skirt flowing in the breeze. He had insisted on getting all the sides to participate in one activity together, and that was keeping a garden. Logan helped Patton assign a daliy garden chore list and soon, the garden had overtaken their backyard. Thomas had suggested the idea to Patton after Joan and him were researching several topics for their show Carton Therapy. So far it seemed to be working. Roman and Janus had built a strong bromance, Logan had opened up to Virgil about his own troubles with anxiety, Remus and Roman started working out their issues about their self image with each other, and Janus showed Patton a lot of argument and debate tips.

Today Patton was supposed to meet Remus outside to do some weed work. Patton looked around again, but there was no sign of him. He sighed and continued to pull the weeds around the strawberry bushes.

"Boo!" Remus whispered in his ear.

"AHH!" Patton screamed. He turned around.

"Remus! You scared me!" Remus giggled and stumbled over his own two feet. He wore a short, fitted, emerald green dress with matte black leggings underneath. In his hands he helped a bouquet of white daisies and blue hydrangeas.

"For you!" He said, drowsily handing the flowers to Patton.

"F-for me? Thanks Remus!" Patton said, blushing.

"So...what are we doing?" Remus asked, looking around.

"Just some weed work." Remus giggled a bit too hard. Patton squinted. Remus' eyes had a red tint to them and his pupils were dilated.

"Remus!" Patton gasped. "Are you high?" Remus stumbled and grabbed Patton's shoulders.

"You're beautiful. You know that, right?" Patton's face turned as red as Roman's sash.

"R-Remus you d-didn't answer my q-question..." Patton stuttered. Remus inched closer.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked blatantly. Patton looked up at him flustered. He wanted to kiss him, but he knew he shouldn't.

"N-no Remus. You're high. I can't kiss you like this. I...I'm sorry." Patton said looking at his feet. Remus' face fell. "Let's get you inside..okay?"

"Yeah...sure." Remus replied, his voice hoarse. His eyes started to well up. Patton didn't notice him crying and helped him into the palace.

Inside, Janus and Logan we're playing an intense game of chess. They didn't even notice when Patton and Remus came inside until Patton accidentally slammed the door.

"Patton! Remus! Why are you inside so..." Janus started. They both took in the scene in front of them. Patton held a bouquet of flowers in his occupied hand, keeping his eyes on his feet. Remus was leaning against Patton, avoiding everyone's gaze as if it would help them ignore the fact that he was crying.

"What happened?"Logan asked.

"Are you two hurt?" Janus prompted. Patton finally broke his stare and glanced at Remus, who still refused to look at him. He still noticed Remus' tear stained cheek and immediately felt a surge of guilt.

"Remus fell into a thorn bush." Patton said. "I'm gonna help him clean up." Patton smiled nervously.

"Okay." Logan replied and turned back to their chess game. Janus stared at Patton and Remus. He knew they were lying, but didn't think it was his business to pry. He gave Patton a look that seemed to say 'If you hurt Remus, I swear you will never see the light of day again' and then turned back to his game.

Patton carried Remus to his bedroom and sat him down on his bed. Remus flopped down on his bed and curled into a ball.

"Why did you lie?"

"Huh?" Patton asked.

"Why didn't you just tell them the truth. I know you hate lying. I can't feel worse than I already do anyway." Patton sighed.

"I did it because I like you."

"What? But you didn't want to kiss me!" Remus said, trying his best to sit up. Patton smiled and summoned a glass of water.

"Because you're high. I'm not gonna reward that kind behavior." Patton said, in a teacher like tone.

"Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" Remus whined. "You made me cry in front of Logan and Janus. They'll never see me as cool again!" Patton giggled.

"I just didn't know what to do. I was so caught off guard! I just knew I couldn't kiss you because you're high." Remus blew a raspberry in frustration and flopped back down on his bed. Patton laughed and set the cup of water at his bedside. Patton quickly kissed his forehead and ran out of his room before he could regret his decision. Remus sat there in shock for a second before screaming into his pillow.

Janus looked up as Patton ran into view. He stopped to catch breath and glanced at him. He smiled and ran outside. Janus smiled.

"Checkmate!" Logan said.

"Dammit!"
