TW: Angst, crying, sad pat

Highly inspired by M.A.S.H. (A show that I watch) and Pretend Lovers (a prinxiety fan-fic that's really good and you should read)

"Well maybe because some people around here would like to be noticed and supported by you and maybe because some people here would rather have the approval of you because you are so high and mighty and you are so perfect and maybe because you are always deserving of the praise and just MAYBE because when people see someone they WORSHIP so much reject them over and over AND OVER and they can't take not being able to do enough just to make you see them and recognize how much they try so hard to get your approval! And just maybe they are so in love with you that they can't think about anything else!" Patton screeched at Logan. They were standing in the living room with not so much as an inch between them. Patton had tears running down his cheeks as he tried to make Logan just see him for once.

Logan was furious that he hadn't noticed Patton's feelings towards him but he didn't have time for feelings.

"I don't need your praise! I don't need your worship! I don't need to do so much as see you for two minutes more than I have to! I only need you when you have to be in my plan for Thomas and when you have to have your stupid feelings that I can't bare to even... look at you having! I don't need your assistance or your need for approval! I don't need your love and I certainly don't need to have feelings like I do and I don't need to do everything you want me to!" Logan screamed back.

Patton looked like he had been slapped. He was backed up almost into the wall by Logan. Logan looked furious and Patton was full of negative emotions.

He pushed Logan away and rushed to his room, pushing past Virgil who was in the hallway listening to the shouting match, and slammed the door.

~~~~~~~

"Pat?" Virgil called quietly after knocking lightly.

"GO AWAY!" Patton screamed through sobs.

"Patton it's me, Virgil."

There was a long silence.

"Please let me in. I can't bare to see you like this." Virgil said as he placed his hand against the door.

He heard the lock click. He quickly opened the door. He saw Patton laying in bed, facing away from the door and shaking as he cried. His knees were to his chest and he was clutching the crofters bear plush that Logan got him. Virgil rushed over and sat on his bed. Patton didn't turn around. Virgil went to the other side of Patton and when Patton saw him he immediately grabbed onto him and cried into his shoulder. He ran his hands through Patton's hair.

"Shh sh sh. It's alright I'm here." Virgil tried to calm him down and was mostly successful.

"What happened?" Virgil asked quietly, as to not seem like he had been listening.

Once Patton explained the whole story, Virgil was furious at Logan. He had to do something about him.

~~~~

Logan sat on the couch in the living room. Holding his head in his hands as he went over how wrong he was to scream at Patton.

He regretted that moment more than any at the moment.

"What the everlasting fuck were you thinking?" Virgil screamed as he walked into the room, "yelling at Patton like that! That may be your worst decision you've ever made!"

"Yes I kn-"

"No! Shut up and listen! You have someone who worships the very ground you walk on and is so in love with you that he won't see what your doing to his self confidence! You act like your so high and mighty that you can yell at Patton. You have some fucking nerve to talk to Patton like that! Do you have any idea what it's like to be so in love with someone that they are your whole world and as long as they approve and they see you nothing matters? No! No you don't! Because you are such a... robot that you don't know how to stop yourself from hurting the one person who looks up to you so much."

Virgil was in Logan's face now. Logan could see the fire in his eyes and could feel the anger radiating off of him. There was a long pause where Virgil just stared angrily into Logan's eyes. The shorter male was very intimidating when mad. Logan was honestly scared of him at the moment.

Then Virgil punched him in the face. Causing him to fall to the ground and have to look up at Virgil. Virgil started walking away but turned to face him one last time.

"So think long and hard about your apology to him. And don't you dare talk over him again. Take this as a lesson. And I expect the apology soon."

He walked back into him room with one last remark.

"No one hurts my best friend that much and gets away with it."

~~~~~~

Patton sat in his room, contemplating life. He was sitting facing the door, a blank expression on his face.

He heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." He said quietly, his voice almost raspy from crying nonstop for hours.

Logan walked in and Patton felt his heart shatter again.

"What do you want?" Patton said, lip quivering.

"I wanted to apologize." Logan said with no emotion like always.

Patton stared at him, saying nothing.

"I wanted to say that I know now how much I mean to you and that I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm sorry." Logan said, frowning at the end.

Patton looked at him with what could only be described by devastation.

"That's all?" Patton asked quietly, "a simple sorry?"

Pause.

"You know, I worship you," Patton stated again, "more than you could know."

He sighed.

"And you don't know what it's like to love someone so perfect. When your not."

Pause.

"It's hard,"

Pause.

"It's really hard to know your not enough."

Tears started running down his cheeks again.

"I mean, look what your doing to me," Patton said, wiping his tears with his hand.

"Your just... so damn perfect. And your approval was all I needed"

His voice cracked.

"I needed to know that I was enough. That I was... important."

Pause.

"And pretty."

Pause.

"And needed."

Pause.

"And I guess I'm not."

Logan walked over to Patton and sat on the bed next to him. He faced Patton with so much emotion in his face it was confusing.

"No, you are so important, and I do need you. More than I'm willing to admit. And I don't deserve your praise and your worship. I am not perfect. I mean, would a perfect person yell at someone that they are completely infatuated with?"

Pause.

"You are so pretty. And I don't know how emotions work, but I know that this feeling, this one I have right now and have had for the past year, is love. I'm in love with you. And I didn't want to admit it, because... well... I don't know why I didn't admit it. But it's there. And,"

Logan looked Patton in the face and cupped his cheek.

"I've always wanted to do this."

He brought Patton in for a kiss slowly, giving him time to say if this wasn't what he wanted. When Patton finally got his head wrapped around what was happening, he kissed back, though he didn't fully forgive him.

When they pulled back, they both just held each other.

There were still negative emotions between them for some time, but they had to work through it together and forgive both themselves and each other.

I feel like the ending was a little rushed, but that's okay.

I wanted to make this into a four part short story, but I realized that I would just post all of the parts in one day so I just made it a oneshot.

Anyways!

Hope you have a great day/night, lovelies!
