I love that picture ^

Also slight sad warning? talks about cuts *finger guns away*

I shake my head and chuckle without feeling, "I don't have an answer for that... I finally don't have an answer." I take off my glasses for a moment and rub my eyes. "Why to you?"

He looks confused for a moment. "What do you mean?"

I gesture to his arms. "Why that?"

It looks like his eyes drain of color and his voice goes flat, "Oh. That... So I guess you are the reason my arms are wrapped?"

I nod my head and see if he'll answer anymore to my question.

"Does anyone else know?"

"Roman saw but I made him not tell anyone since you should be the one to do it."

"As long as he doesn't bug or make fun of me then I guess it's okay that he knows."

"Will you tell the others?"

"No. There's never a good time ya know?" He sighs, "Hey guys, now I know you're all having a fun night but I want you to know that my arms are marked up! I'm a painter with my arm as a personal canvas!" He shakes his head. "That would go over so well."

I'm not the best at understanding emotions but I hear the sarcasm in the dark trait's voice and understand how that would affect the others.

"I'm sorry." I don't know what else I can say.

All he says is, "I know buddy. So am I."

We sit in silence, content with just our thoughts.

*3rd person*

Thomas had left Roman's room and bumped into said trait when he started to anxiously wander the mind palace.

He sped over to Roman to tell him about the news, "Roman! Anxiety's awake!"

The fanciful persona's face broke into a bright grin, "That's wonderful! Go find Patton while I see my not-sleeping beauty!" With that, Roman sped away to his room, leaving Thomas to find Patton. Thomas had wondered about what his fanciful side called his anxiety as he wondered the mind palace. When he couldn't find his dad-like persona, he decided to check the real world. He went back to his home and saw Patton looking through the kitchen. Approaching the shaky trait, Thomas unintentionally scares the already jittery, Patton. Patton jumps and whirls around to see Thomas who looks hopeful.

Thomas runs over and hugs Patton, "Patton! Thank goodness! Virgil's awake!" He Ponders for a moment and decides to ask, "Do you know anything about um Virgil and Roman being a thing 'cause Roman called him this name-" Patton suddenly cuts him off, smile bright on his face, "YOU'VE NOTICED IT?!" He clears his throat. "They've been having this flirty, I-hate-you-but-I-love-you type thing going on for a while! I've been waiting for them to make Prinxiety cannon but it hasn't officially happened yet! It should soon but they keep avoiding it, I don't know if I love Prinxiety more than Lo or the idea of Logicality though-" The rambling trait suddenly turned red and started speaking even faster as he began to sink down, "Ignore that, I'm going to find Virgil and check on him- you should go get some food! You shouldn't skip on meals! BYE!" And with that, Patton is gone leaving Thomas slightly perplexed. (DON'T SAY YOU'RE LOST, YOU'RE JUST SLIGHTLY PERPLEXED! (shhh you never saw this))

Thomas walks over to the couch and slumps down deciding he'll just get food later.

~meanwhile~

Patton runs through the halls to Roman's room. His eyes are immediately drawn to Logan leaning against the wall and he stays looking until Virgil's voice breaks him from his trance. Looking around he see Roman isn't in this room, thinking to himself, 'wasn't Roman told about this before me?' He quickly ignores that thought and jumps onto the bed with Virgil, enveloping the dark trait in a crushing hug.

Virgil winces as his arms are crushed but hugs back to make the father-like persona feel better. Before Patton can question Virgil, Roman rushes in.

His hair is poofed up, but at least he has fixed his haggard-lost-look. Patton quickly moves to Logan on the floor as Roman almost jumps at Anxiety. Roman embraces Virgil and does something that shocks the dark trait, confuses Logan, and make Patton squeal.

Roman kisses Virgil for a few moments until he realizes Patton, who's basically bouncing with happiness, is struggling to get out of the hold Logan has on him which keeps him from running to the two trait on the bed. Roman lets out a shaking laugh and looks back to Virgil.

The dark persona is staring at Roman in shock, a pink tint on his cheeks, made light by his makeup. Roman lets his grin fall and looks down.

"I-I-I'm sorry Virgil. I didn't- I mean- I shouldn't have done something like that. I see that was the wrong choice since you don't actually like me-" He stands up and makes to leave the room. However he can't. Virgil grabs his sleeve and tugs. Roman hesitantly sits back down.

Then Virgil, cheeks an even deeper shade of pink, leans in and kisses Roman. The two share a loving embrace before they hear a shouted "No!" Not knowing Logan had lost hold of Patton.

They turn but they're met with a blue shirt and a tackling hug. Virgil looks over the shoulder of the overly-energetic father figure and sees Logan shrug and give a thumbs-up.

Virgil chuckles and hugs Patton with one arm, the other to occupied holding Roman's hand.
