Prinxiety, Moxiety, and Thomxietyyyyy

Thomas had broken up with Virgil. Why? What'd he do wrong? Virgil supposed it was kinda necessary. They weren't the best couple.....

Virgil liked someone else more anyway. So why did he feel..... So empty?

"Virge? Kiddo?" Patton called, walking into the other's room without even bothering to knock.

He normally didn't haveta, why would he need to now?

Except..... This time Virgil was crying.

He immediately looked up in shock and started rubbing at his already red beyond belief eyes. "Ah, Patt, sorry, I-"

"Hey, no," Patton replied softly, moving forward and sitting next to the other and moving his hands into his own carefully. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"

Virgil let out a quiet and sad laugh before he answered the other verbally. "Nothing important. I'm just being stupid..... Thomas broke up with me."

Patton knew it was wrong to feel a jolt of happiness at those words but he couldn't help it. He'd loved the anxious side since forever, and the other's relationship with their host broke his heart.

Maybe now he'd actually have a shot!

Patton immediately pulled him into a hug. "I'm so sorry Virgil," he wasn't, "I wish this didn't happen," he was so glad, "You two were the cutest couple," they disgusted him, "What happened?"

Virgil sniffled and hugged Patton as tight as possible. "I- I'm not entirely sure my- myself....." he mumbled.

Patton pulled back. "Well how about this! I'll go grab a batch of your favourite cookies I baked yesterday and then I'll come back in and we can talk and cuddle until you feel better, kiddo. Sound good?" he chirped.

"Y- Yeah..... Thanks Patt," Virgil mumbled, rubbing his eyes with the sleeve of his hoodie.

"Of course!" And then Patton was skipping out of the room and down to the kitchen.

Thomas was sat on the sofa crying.

That's how Logan found him when he came up looking at a clipboard and adjusting his glasses.

"Thomas you're two hours behind schedule, care to ex-" He had looked up. "-plain....."

Logan moved over to sit next to Thomas and carefully patted his back. "Uh..... What is wrong? I'm not as good as Patton when it comes to, well, feelings, but I can attempt to assist."

Thomas mumbled something inaudible.

"You need to speak up, Thomas. I cannot hear you," Logan stated.

"I- I broke up with Virgil....." Thomas mumbled once again, slightly louder but not by much.

Logan felt his heart sink.

Thomas and Virgil being together, well..... It made Logan happy, even if for a selfish reason.

A while ago Patton had confided in Logan his crush on Virgil. A little while after, Thomas and Virgil began going out.

This simple fact lit a small flicker of hope in Logan that he'd still have a chance with the fatherly trait.

But now.....

"Oh," Logan whispered. "Why.....?"

"It just- It wasn't working, Logan!" Thomas exclaimed quietly. "I like him, and he likes me, but it's just- It's not working..... You know?"

"Yeah, it's a proven fact that some relationships just don't work out. They're not meant to, so they don't," Logan responds, staring off into space.

"..... Logan? What's wrong? And don't pretend you're fine," Thomas said, looking at the other carefully.

"..... Patton likes Virgil....." he whispered, his eyes pricking with tears.

Patton was walking back up to Virgil's room with a plate of freshly heated chocolate chip cookies. His dark strange son's favourite.

"Hey kiddo, I got the-!" Patton trailed off as the plate of cookies hit the ground with a dull thud.

He'd made it back just in time to see Roman and Virgil kissing.

"At least you're happy."
