Virgil’s p.o.v:

After Breakfast we stayed for a while longer before we headed out. We went back through the Portal to the underwater area and we swam back to the docks near home. It was a long swim so we did take small breaks. Swimming was a bit faster than driving so that was easier. We made it to the docks around nightfall. Nightlara had sent a message saying that we were coming so they weren't all that surprised. The break we took before arriving had ended up with Roman carrying Patton who honestly didn't eat very much of breakfast. Once we were out and dry again we all went to the van logan left here before we Teleported yesterday. Roman and I sat in the back with Patton between us and Janus and Remus Infront of us in the middle and finally Thomas and Logan in the front seats. The van had three very back seats, Two pairs of seats in the middle so the middle had four seats and then the front, where the passenger seats were.

After about an hour of driving we finally made it back home. We all Climbed out and this time, I carried Patton. He was lighter than usual. Not by much but still lighter. Like he didn’t eat for a couple of days. I only know because Before this whole mess started, I had carried him from where he sleep walked, Or sleep teleported to the living room a few times the week before. He was a little lighter than I was and we both could carry each other very easily. But this time. I could tell the difference in weight in him. He was lighter than normal. It hurt to know that. I carried him up the stairs and into his room. I set him down on his bed and moved to leave when I was tugged back a bit. I looked back at Patton, seeing him slightly awake a bit.

“S-stay and s-snuggle? P-please?” He asked softly. I smiled and nodded a bit. I climbed in the bed and Patton snuggled up to me. He was really scared to be left alone. I actually think the longest he was left alone since we got him back was for about 30 minutes. That was earlier today with the plushies and all that. I then noticed that there was a light blue frog plushie that he was holding earlier with the other plushies and a purple thing that had spider like legs on the back. It was the one he gave to me. I grabbed it and I held it a bit while Patton sleepily snuggled to me. Within a few minutes he was sound asleep and I couldn’t bring myself to pull away from him.

“Hey, Virgil. Do you want me to bring in your dinner and Patton’s as well?” I hear roman ask from the now open doorway as he looks at us.

“What are you getting?” I asked. Roman was in his red with yellow crowns pj’s I could see Logan in his Dark blue Pajamas and then Thomas in his rainbow ones, Remus in his green with grey rats, and Janus who looked to be on the phone in his Black with yellow snake onesie. We all had onesies as well but Janus and Patton were the only ones who really wore them for pj’s.

“ Chinese.” Remus said As he jumped onto Roman. I smiled a bit

“Yes, You can do that. If I end up being asleep with Patton then you can just put our food in the fridge or something” I say softly. Roman nodded and quietly closed the door. I think I fell asleep because I closed my eyes for a second and the next thing I know is that it was now 12 am at night and Patton was waking up a bit.

“Hey Bud. You alright?” I asked tiredly a bit. I fell patton nod a bit and hear his stomach growl.

“J-just a bit hungry.” He said softly. I smiled at him and sat up a bit while he did the same rubbing his eyes as well.

“Well, I know theres some chinese downstairs. If you want, You can come with me and We can eat our food we didn’t eat yet.” I say Patton looked at me.

“You didn’t eat yet?” He asked me.

“Ya. but I did fall asleep a bit after you so ya.” I said. Patton made a oh face before nodding a bit.

“Ok. Lets go.” I said standing up and helping patton up as well. We walked down the stairs into the Kitchen making sure not to wake anyone that had fallen asleep In the White mini living room. Patton, Logan and Roman’s rooms were connected to the white mini Living Room while Mine, Remus, and Janus had the Dark mini one. It seemed as though Roman, Thomas and Remus had fallen asleep in the white one just watching movies. Logan’s door was closed so I assumed he was asleep in his own room. We get down the stairs and see the kitchen light on. Patton carefully went towards the kitchen and relaxed when he saw that it was only Janus.

“Oh Janus! I didn’t know you were awake at this hour.” Patton said.

“Yessssss Well. I was with The others up the stairs and I soon got hungry and Thought to cook me some food. I also Heard you two talking a bit and I decided to heat up both of your foods.” Janus says before the microwave beeped. Janus Turned around and Opened it

“Why don't you two sit that the table? We can chat a bit there if ya want.” Janus said getting the silverware and dishing up his own food.

“Don’t you need help?” Patton asked.

“Nope. Now go sit. You need to rest and eat.” Janus said. He was right. Patton needed to eat and He also still needed to rest. The thorns he was trapped in a couple days ago really reopened some scars and had cuts where there were shadow burns which wasn’t a good idea at all. We did manage to get it all healed  so it wasn’t bleeding but Patton’s still needed to rest and heal. Patton nodded at Janus’ request and pulled me to the table where we sat down just as Janus came out with three things. He handed Patton his food then Mine to me and then sat down on the other side of the table with his own food. 

Everything was well and dandy until around 3 am. We had decided to watch some movies since none of us could actually sleep. Now we're watching Zombies on disney plus. We were at the part now when Buckey’s minions hacked into the system? Patton still had his plushie with him, I also Had Mine and Janus had grabbed his because why not. Apparently Our Plushies were Tped into each room except for mine. Janus’s stuffie was a yellow snake that was kinda huge as it was about the size of a child, Roman and Remus had each gotten a prince like stuffy but Remus’ was green and Roman’s was red. Both stuffies had a golden crown tho. Thomas had Ended up getting a huge rainbow bear And Logan had gotten a Dark blue bear that was holding a plushed crofters jar and a plush book on the ‘Many different kinds of jam and how to make it’. The bear also Had glasses too.

“THEY! WHY! THAT IsNt Cool!” Patton says holding his Stuffed frog closer to him. Like Janus’s Snake, it was actually huge. Patton was also tearing up at how mean Bucky and his Acy team was.

“Everything is ok. They are trying to get used to Zombies and it's all new to be together. Remember?” Janus says trying to calm Patton down

“B-BUt! It isn't fair! Even Elisabeth would agree! She had To go through this type of shit too! Just because she was a shadow! People thought that The shadows would all turn and destroy EVerything! Turn like Starfire. Or Bella! O-or F-francis a-and Sh-shadem! S-sombra…. E-eEvE-even G-grey-” Patton couldn't finish because he started crying. He held that plushie even closer now. I was confused at the first part But what I did understand was that he thought of the corrupted. Even the one who hurt him. I carefully Pull him close to me and rubbed circles on his back. Janus quickly stopped the show just as they were dropped off in Zombieland. 

“Shhh it alright Patton. Some People are jerks.” I whispered softly. He had curled up to me Still softly crying. Janus rubbed small circles on Patton’s leg and I whispered Some more words that were soft and caring and all that. I soon heard footsteps and then words but I was more focused on Patton and in calming him After a while, Patton was calmed down.

“I-I’m s-sorry.” Patton mumbled.

“It's alright. You were just thinking and remembered about stuff and ya..” Janus said. I soon smelled peppermint tea And looked towards the kitchen. I saw Logan coming out with four mugs of tea. He set the trey he put them on and handed each of us one before taking his own.

“Did we wake you up Logan?” I asked.

“No. I was already up when I heard Patton. I went to bed before everyone else and I woke up about an hour ago. I have been doing research and all that until a few minutes ago.” Logan said. We nodded a bit.

“Do we want to continue or change it?” Janus asked patton.

“C-continue.” He said softly. We nodded and Continued to watch the movie. After that one we turned on a unittien history Playlist on youtube. It had about 5 Volumes that each was about a few hours long. Patton had Fallen asleep again after the first hour. Next thing we know it was 8 in the morning and Thomas had came downstairs to start breakfast. We all had agreed to not let Patton cook for a couple days unless it was him, Remus, and Roman Home alone. Me and Logan weren't the best of cooks but we could get food done. Roman and Remus Would Somehow burn the ice for a smoothie….. Don't ask. 

“How long were you all awake?” Thomas asked.

“Janus couldn’t sleep at all, Logan woke up around 2 am and me and Patton was awake at midnight and Patton fell asleep around 4:30.” I said. Thomas nodded a bit and went to cooking.

“Oh by the way, Remy and Emile had texted me. They are coming over here soon. They had a gas leak.” Thomas said.

"Oh? What happened this time?" Janus asked.

"Emile had smelled something from the basement and called people. Gas leak. So now they have to stay someplace else for about a week." Thomas said.Said as he mixed Batter for pancakes.

“I know we aren’t letting Pat cook but, Can we let him help make sweets?” Janus asked. Patton’s Sweets were the best and Having him help make them wasn’t like he was cooking. Right?

“If he feels up to it. I don't see a problem with it.” I said. Janus smiled before getting up to help thomas. The twins soon come downstairs still in their pjs.

“How can you and Patton be in normal clothes already?” Roman asked seeing me and Patton who was now semi awake watching some cute animals that came up on the t.v.

“It's called we never changed. All through pj’s and onesies do sound good to be in.” I say amittely. They did sound nice. Just then there was a ring at the door.

“I’ll get it.” Logan said who had gotten up to set the table. He made sure to set two extra spots.

“Why is there-?”

“Remy and Emile had a gas leak and needs to stay out for about a week.” Thomas said, finishing up the peanut butter and cinnamon pancakes. (THEY ARE YUMTASTIC! Try it and see.)

“Oh” Remus said

“Yep. Anyways How is everyone doing?” Remy asked sipping on his favorite Coffee cup which meant it was filled with coffee. Patton mumbled something a bit as he watched the animals and snuggled closer to me still holding his stuffed animal closely.

“Wait, hold on…. Pat? Why aren’t you in the kitchen? Also. I thought out of everyone here, You would be in your Onesie more.” Emile said surprised as she noticed Patton.

“Ya. he’s had a rough week. He also was tired when we came home and he didn’t manage to get in his onesie.” I said. I don't know if Patton wanted them to know or not. If he does the He would either say something or tell them.

“Oh. Is that also why he isn’t in the kitchen?” Remy asked.

“Yep. We aren’t allowing him to actually cook for a bit unless he is with Roman and Remus alone in the house and they need to eat.” Logan said.

“Yaa…. I remembered when They were trying to make smoothies for all of us.” Remy said looking at the two.

“Yep. Anyways Breakfast Isn't done.” Janus says helping Thomas with the food. I nudge Patton softly telling him that food is ready. Remy was looking at us suspiciously but it did make patton stretch and get up. I followed behind him. I could tell that Remy didn’t really actually believe me with patton’s situation by the way he was staring at me. We sat down and ate. Patton still didnt eat much.

“Patton? Are you ok? You usually eat more then you have been.” Janus asked when he noticed Patton wasn’t eating anymore only having about havle a pancake down.

“Just. dont feel like eating.” Patton mumbled under his breath.

“Patton. Whats up? That was only a halve truth.” Janus said. I could tell patton was getting uneasy. I Made a shadow carefully move into his view before having it touch patton’s lower leg. Patton still was uneasy but did relax a bit.

“I-im just dont feel like eating.” Patton says softly. Looking down. Janus wanted to know. He was concerned. All of us were

“Pa-” Janus began before I cut him off

“Janus. Don’t try to force it out. Im sure Patton will tell us in time. Or maybe he wont, We dont know. But trying to force him isn’t something that will help. It will only make patton Uneasy.” I say making sure to get the message through by staring at Janus a bit. The shadow rub small circles on Patton’s leg a bit.

“You’re right. I'm sorry Patton. I'm just worried about you… We all are. But that isn’t an excuse to try to force you to talk.” Janus said. Patton nodded a bit as the uneasiness died down.

“I-its ok.” Patton said in a small whisper with a small smile. We all soon began talking again and finished breakfast. Emile managed to get Patton after about an hour to go and talk with him. He had asked us separately and had reassured us that he wasn’t going to force Patton to do or say anything. Remy, Janus, Remus and I were talking in the living room while Roman, Thomas and Logan went to do some stuff. We had called our jobs and Told them the situation and they said that we could take at least a week off. I worked at a small convenience store that dealt with Unittiens a lot. The boss was surprisingly Married to a Nature Unittien and They have a little girl that was about 8 years old now. Logan worked as a substitute teacher, Roman worked as an actor, Remus as a dancer. I think you know which kind. Then Thomas worked as a Writer and Filmer, Janus worked at the local zoo. He actually loves that kids was really interested in his story of how he got scales. The children LOVED him. On days Janus couldn’t go to work or something, They would Put up a picture of him and another employee would tell the kids about his story and all that. We dont know were patton worked though. Emile was a therapist that delt with all kinds of people. He had a lot of Kids, Adults, Human, and Unittiens. Remy worked at Starbucks. I was the one who had the most time off which was about a month and a Halve which surprised me. I said that I could come in after about a week but he told me no and that he would pay me the whole time.

“VIRGIL!” I hear Emile say as he rushed down the stairs halfway.

“I need help! Its Patton.” He said. I quickly got up and followed him quickly to see what was up.
