Virgil sighed.

Never once in his life had he had to deal with this.

It was painful.

It was agonizing.

It was...

Game Night.

"THAT ISN'T IN THE RULES, ROMAN!!" Logan stood up and pounded on the table, sending pieces flying every which way.

Roman barely dodged a metal dog flying toward his head. "IS TO!! HOUSE RULES!!"

"Now boys..." Patton tried desperately to calm the situation. "This isn't the way we treat each other..."

"WHAT HOUSE RULES DO WE HAVE THAT LET YOU STEAL FROM THE BANK??" Logan picked up Roman's stacks of money, waving them in his face.

Virgil sank farther into his chair.

"Boys!"

"I DON'T KNOW!! LAST TIME WE PLAYED, YOU STOLE $200 DOLLARS FROM THE BANK!!" Roman slammed an accusing finger into Logan's chest.

"I PASSED GO!! I'M SUPPOSED TO GET $200!!" Logan threw the stack of money on the table again.

"B O Y S ! !" Patton stood up. "I AM ON MY LAST NERVE WITH YOU TWO."

Both Logan and Roman fell completely silent.

"YOU BOTH BETTER CALM DOWN OR LOGAN, I'LL LOCK UP THE CROFTER'S CABINET. ROMAN, NO DISNEY MOVIE MARATHONS. AND NO INTERNET FOR THE BOTH OF YOU. Virgil. stay down there, sweetie. I'm letting everything out."

Virgil nodded shakily.

Logan and Roman sat down simultaneously.

"Sorry, dad..." Roman fidgeted with the hem of his shirt and stared at his feet.

"Sorry..." Logan adjusted his glasses, that had gone askew from vigorous hand movements.

"Now 30 minutes in the friendship sweater!"

"No, not the sweater, please!"

"Seriously, I'll do the dishes for a week!"

"No! I'm putting a foot down!" Patton crossed his arms.

"Don't you mean-"

Patton slammed a 12-inch ruler down on the table.

Virgil snorted, then slapped a hand over his mouth. "Sorry-"

"Friendship sweater. Now."

Logan got up and pulled a very large hand-knit sweater with two head holes out of a box. He slipped into the left half as Roman struggled to get into the right.

"Now say your apologies."

"I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating when you passed go..." Roman avoided eye contact at all cost.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you..." Logan fixed his tie.

"Good. Virgil and I are gonna go cuddle while you two work this out." Patton pulled Virgil out of his chair and they both entered the moral side's room."

The rest of the night was filled with quiet bickering.

Patton trudged out of his room the next morning, only to find Monopoly neatly put up and the two sides curled up on the couch together. Virgil came out shortly after. "As I said, the sweater always works."

AAAAAAH I HAD MOTIVATION FOR ONCE! YAY! Yes, it's very short but shhhh-

*insert outro here*
