Syzygy

Patton skipped into the room, looking for his boyfriend. He grinned once he saw Logan on the couch reading a book. Patton looked at the book cover and squinted as he tried pronouncing the word.

"Sy- Sye-zee-gee...?" Patton muttered.

Logan chuckled a bit at Patton's pronunciation of the word, "It's pronounced 'siziji', actually."

"Oh..." Patton hummed, "what does that mean?"

"A syzygy is a roughly straight-line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system," Logan explained.

"So... it basically means three or more planets can form a straight-line in the solar system?" Patton questioned.

Logan's eyes widened a bit, "Exactly."

"When can a syzygy form?" Patton sat down next to Logan.

"Syzygy occurs when the Moon and Sun are aligned, an event that happens twice monthly. The effect on Earth is that the gravitational pull of these two space bodies is strengthened, increasing the elevation of high tides and decreasing low tides." Logan read from his book.

"Ooh, interesting...!" Patton grinned.

"Is it possible to make it happen in the Imagination?" A voice asked from the stairs. Logan and Patton looked up and saw Roman.

"Yes, but it's extremely dangerous since reaching beyond the Imagination and to Thomas' outer brain can cause some issues with your form," Logan said.

"How bad can it be?" Roman smirked.

"Deadly." Logan furrowed his eyebrows.

Roman and Patton were silent as they looked at Logan. Roman uttered out an apology and went upstairs to his room. Patton put his hand on Logan's shoulder.

"Logie, are you alright...?" Patton asked.

"I am fine." Logan sighed.

Patton rested his head on Logan's shoulder, "You're really tense, can we go to your room for cuddles?"

"Sure, love." Logan smiled a bit and they went upstairs.
