Patton tapped his fingers on the sink counter anxiously as he stood in the upstairs bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror.

Finally, finally- they had run out of Crofter's Jam. Finally, Patton had an excuse to go out, drop by Detective Sean's house, and kill him.

He... wasn't really sure what to think about the fact that he wasn't that scared of murdering people anymore. It was probably okay, though, right? He had to. If he didn't then Logan would die. Simple.

Simple.

After staring at himself in the mirror for a few moments, he leaned down and reached behind the sink, grabbing his knife and gardening gloves that he had hidden there after he had killed Richard.

He shoved them both into his hoodie pocket and took a deep breath before walking out of the bathroom and down the stairs. Logan was sitting on the couch, hands folded in his lap, watching Netflix.

Patton played with the sleeves of his hoodie as he scurried over to the kitchen, where they kept their shopping bags in a cabinet.

As he got the bags out, he could feel his husband's eyes watching him, confused. Patton grabbed the bags and turned around to look at Logan.

"Are you heading out..?" Logan asked, pausing the TV.

"Mhm! We ran out of Crofter's, remember?"

"Oh, right... uhm, let me come with you."

Patton blinked. Oh no.

"Oh, Logan, I'll be fine. I'm just going to the store."

Logan got up off the couch and started walking into the kitchen. "No, please, let me come with. I, uhm... I want to make sure you're safe."

"I- but you're the one that has to stay home and be safe, right?" A small smile slipped onto Patton's face through his confusion. Logan looked strangely terrified at Patton's words, like he was about to make a decision that would impact his future forever.

"...Alright, I'll stay home. But can you make sure your location is turned on, in the Messages app on your phone? And, uhm..." Logan blinked a few times, before smiling ever-so-slightly. "Wait until you get home to eat Crofter's this time, mhm?"

Patton chuckled, remembering when he had spilled Crofter's on him in the car. Or... he made it seem like that, at least. "Yep, I'll be fine."

He would be fine- he knew how to not get blood on him this time.

Logan stepped forward and put his hand on Patton's waist, gently pressing his lips to his husband's forehead. Patton smiled widely and scrunched up his face until Logan pulled away.

"Be safe, alright? If you sense anything... odd, is happening, please call me and get yourself home. If you end up coming home before picking up the jam that's fine, I can live without it. I will be fine. I love you."

"Love you too, Lo."

Patton returned his husband's kiss, briefly pecking his cheek before walking to the front door and getting into the car. He put the shopping bags on the passenger seat and sat back, getting out his phone.

"Okay... first stop, groceries." Patton mumbled to himself. "Gotta make sure my location is turned on for Logan, though. If I'm quick when I get to Sean's house then maybe Logan either won't notice or will think I'm stuck in traffic. I... I can always just act confused and say that maybe the app glitched out on his side if I do take a while."

Patton sighed and put his phone next to him, quickly starting up the car.

Throughout the whole drive to and from the store, he was honestly feeling a lot of déjà vu. Sean's house was also pretty close to Richard's, too, so the drive there was very similar.
