|POV Roman|
After Janus had escorted me and Patton back to our side of the Mind safely, me and him remained silent in the living room. While I was sat down on one of our sofas, Patton seemed to be pacing back and fourth ever so slightly. The atmosphere in the air seemed thick, as if a brick of tension was set between us two. Probably due to Pattons earlier confession and my inability to conjure up the right response to it.
My silence and absence of admitting my feelings in return probably convinced him even further that I didn't have mutual feelings for him, but that was completely wrong. Of course I liked Patton, I had for ages, there was always just one uncertainty in the back of my mind that constantly prevented me from confessing to him.
"Hey.. Pat? You all good?" I tried to start a conversation, causing him to snap out of the zoned out mind set he seemed to be in previously.
"Huh? O-oh.. yeah. Just worried about Virgil... he looked so different," I didn't doubt that Patton actually was worried for Virgil, but I also didn't doubt that there was something else on his mind.
"I see... yeah, he did seem pretty different. But I didn't get too good of a look at him, with Logan being mega protective over him n all that," silence filled the air after I finished my sentence, the awkward atmosphere felt like it was suffocating me, I really couldn't take it any more, "Pat.. Listen. About what you said earlier-"
I was cut off by Patton himself interjecting me.
"P-please, don't bother, Roman. I'm sorry I said it but I just couldn't keep it to myself any more- I get if you found it strange or if you don't feel the same but I- I just-... I'm sorry," he begun to rush his words out in a slightly panicked tone.
"No! That's not what I was going to say!" I raised my voice slightly to cut off any more of his rushed thoughts, "Patton- I guess the simplest way for me to say this is just- I do feel the same way about you!"
Welp, that was finally confessed.
"S-seriously-?" Pattons eyes widened hearing what I said, "but- that doesn't make any sense-?"
I couldn't help but shift my expression to one of confusion, "huh? What do you mean that 'doesn't make sense'?"
"I mean- like... you can sense when people are in love, right?" He asked apprehensively, causing me to give a cautious nod in response, "but- I assumed because you never brought it up to me... you sensed that I loved you but you just ignored it cause you didn't want to reject me..." Patton faced the floor with a look of shame on his expression.
Hearing his reasoning, I couldn't help but laugh ever so slightly at it, causing him to be momentarily confused.
"Awe- that's adorable," I chuckled softly, "Pat, I never brought it up to you cause I assumed you didn't like me. Not because i didn't like you. I'll try explain. You see- yes I am able to sense others love and fond emotions for other sides, but with you... you love everyone. I can constantly sense the love you have for all of the other Sides and I guess I could never just distinguish what love you felt for me in comparison to the others."
My response had clearly shook Patton up ever so slightly, I guess he had just never anticipated this situation to happen, which I can't say I blame him for.
Before the silence could dominate the conversation again, I stood from my seat and walked to stand before Patton, looking down on him and smiling softly.
"I love you, Patton,"
"I love you too, Roman," he responded with the sweetest smile on his face, leaning to go up on his tiptoes and kiss my cheek before leaning his head into my chest. Wrapping my arms around him, we stayed there in eachothers embrace for a comfortable amount of time and for the first time since this whole predicament had started, I felt at peace.
"Hey, Pat?"
"Mhm?" He muffled into my shirt
"Would you care to watch a film with me? I feel it would be something simple to distract us until we get news of anything else that deserves our attention?"
"Tch, that sounds like a dream come true!" The moral side giggled light heartedly while pulling his head off of my chest and leading me over to the sofa.
The rest of the night was relatively calm, Patton and I ended up falling asleep in the living quarters in each others arms under a blanket while watching Mulan, blissfully oblivious to the events that had occurred earlier today. The world seemed finally at peace. I ended up waking up the next morning, Patton still fast asleep in my arms. I leant my chin on top of his head and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath in while simply allowing the peace of the moment to last. Of course, I hoped that Virgil woke up soon, but I also knew that once he did wake up more chaos was bound to ensue. I mean, there's no way that he managed to survive that Room and not come out with something different to him.
There was only one thing I could be sure of, the fact that I needed to apologise to Virgil as soon as possible for everything I did.
