I'll always be here

Doing?

<Patton's POV>

Anxiety seemed nice. I was scared that he was going to be quiet/ mean. I mean, I've haven't talked to him before besides when we were children, but even then we barely ever talked. Ever since the mindscape got split I haven't seen him. This walk that I was doing with him was great. My mind kept on going back to the last time we spoke. It was when Thomas was only nine years old and it was right before the huge split in the mindscape.

Anxiety: "W-Whats happening?"

Morality: "I-... I don't know, but I'm sure everything is fine!"

Anxiety: "BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID WHEN CREATIVITY SPLIT AND THAT WASN'T FINE!"

Morality: "..."

Anxiety:"... sorry for yelling, I'm just nervous..."

Morality: "It's oK-"

That was the last thing I said before we all got split. Neither of us has brought it up and I'm kinda glad if I'm being honest. I wouldn't know what to say and there was nothing to say about. I stared up at the taller man as he talked about funny stories. I noticed something about him though. He said everything as if those were in the past and weren't going to happen again. Like he was never going back to the dark sides. After about an hour of us walking, we decided to sit down on the ground, tired out from walking so much.

"Patton... can I ask you a question?..." Anxiety asked turning his head to face me.

"Yeah, sure!" I replied.

"What do you guys think of the dark sides?" Anxiety asked. He seemed nervous to ask it and if I'm being honest I was nervous to answer it. I had always thought of them as us just a little different but I know Logan and Roman didn't feel the same. Logan said that they were nuisances that just got in the way of everything and Roman agreed. Of course, I know they do hold some importance but I just don't know what it is. There was a bit of an awkward silence between us then I finally spoke up.

"Well, I've never had a bad opinion on the dark sides but I can't say the same for the others..." It hurt me to say that. When I said the first part Anxiety's face lit up, he seemed sp happy, but that didn't last long because of what I said next.

"O-oh... ok..." Anxiety muttered out as turned facing away from me again. He started picking at the grass underneath him as I tried to think of what to say next.

"Say, Anxiety, why did you ask that question?" It probably wasn't the best thing to ask but I was curious to know and wasn't thinking.

"...." Anxiety didn't speak.

"Patton, can you keep a secret?" Anxiety asked me. He said that in such a low tone that it was hard for me to hear.

"Yes! As long as it makes you happy Ill keep it!" I quickly shouted out. I wanted to make Anxiety feel safe, but I don't know if it's a secret that should be told or not. That doesn't matter, making him happy is all that matters right now.

"I-...... I've always wanted to be a light side like you guys! If I'm being completely honest I wasn't going on a walk and then walked too far! I was running away going to join you guys but then I thought about what I was doing and turn around, but then passed out! Please.... please don't be mad at me..." Anxiety said at an insanely fast speed. I was honestly shocked by what I heard. I wasn't going to be mad at him, in fact, I felt bad. I don't know what caused him to run away but I'm guessing it wasn't good.

"Aww, Anxiety, I'm not mad at you kiddo. I'm sorry that you felt the need to run away as you did." I tried to calm him down. "I don't know if you can become a light side but I do think you can stay with us if you want."

"Really?!" Virgil shot up with the excitement on his face.

"Yes, really." I was not prepared for the amount of excitement that Anxiety showed, but it was great to see him so happy. Though, I don't know if he could join us. I mean I already saw how Roman acted when he first saw Anxiety so if he figures out that he would be staying with us he would most likely be insanely mad. Logan, will also probably be annoyed with this information. I wasn't going to force Anxiety to go to the place that he ran away from though, so he was going to stay with us no matter how Roman and Logan react!

Well that's it for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed! Peace out my Queer Royalty ✌️🌈✨
