It started with little things, Remus opening the door for him when they got to the cafe, him paying for their coffee and treats, and even pulling out his chair for him when they sat down. Strange behavior for him, sure, but Virgil knew that Remus did have his days where he liked doing nice things for other people. 

It didn’t really click until Remus reached across the table to take his hand, giving Virgil a very uncharacteristically shy look, and Virgil felt his mind come to a halt. “Remus... Are we on a date right now?”

Remus blinked once, twice, looking at him a little confused. “I thought that was obvious.I told you I love spending time with you and asked if you wanted to get coffee.”

 “But you didn’t say -” Virgil’s words were cut off.

“Is this okay? That this is a date?” Remus asked, starting to pull his hand back, but Virgil quickly tightened his grip.

He gave a short nod once, before again, slower, a little smile spreading across his face. “Yeah... Yeah. This is more than okay.” 

(Maybe don’t listen to rumors)

Word Count: 336

Warnings: Violence mention. Sympathetic Deceit. Swearing. Anything else?

Characters: Patton/Deceit (Mostly Platonic. Could be seen as the start of something romantic)

Ok. So Patton was alone in the elevator with the new guy. The new guy with the GIANT scar over his face. The new guy with the GIANT scar over his face with a thousand rumors surrounding him about how he got said scar.

Patton didn’t really like listening to rumors. But rumors had to come from somewhere, right? And all of Deceit’s rumors had something to do with him being really violent.

A scoff brought Patton back to the real world “Will you calm down? I’m not gonna hurt you, ok?”

Patton looked down at the floor sheepishly. Had his fear really been so obvious?

“God, does everyone at this place just believe every rumor they hear?”

“I-I try not to…”

“Yeah, and I try to make friends. Look where that got me.”

“It’s just...your scar-”

“I promise you, every story you heard about my scar is made up.”

“Then how did you get it?”

Patton saw a teeny bit of pink in the new guy’s cheeks “You’ll laugh.”

“I promise I won’t”

“I ran... into... a tree branch.”

Patton covered his mouth

“You’re laughing.”

“I promised I wouldn’t.”

“You want to laugh though, don’t you?”

“Maybe...a teeny tiny bit.”

The man sighed “It happened the evening before my first day. I was so embarrassed, I thought that I was gonna laughed at. But no, it’s a thousand times worse and I got deemed this villain with a tragic backstory. But I’m not a villain. I’m just a dumbass.”

“You just ran into something. I run into stuff all the time.”

“Yeah, I’ve seen you around. You’re kinda a dumbass too.”

“Hey!”

“I say it with love.”

Patton rolled his eyes “I’m Patton.”

“...Dee.”

“Well Dee, looks like we both succeeded.”

“Succeeded in what?”

Last one guys!

Favorite thing about them - His empathy. He cares so much about everyone and he really, honestly, and truly wants nothing more than for everyone to be happy.

Least favorite thing about them - He seems to immediately dismiss a “dark” side’s suggestion on the basis that there’s no way they may want what’s best for Thomas, and while they should almost never be completely listened (as in, Thomas should never take 100% of their advice in any given situation) completely disregarding/repressing them is also a bad idea. 

Favorite line - "We can’t continue this convo if you’re gone-zo.”  

brOTP - Royality

OTP - Moxiety or Logicality 

nOTP - Remus/Patton (do you see a theme here? I don’t ship Remus with a lot of people XD)

Random headcanon - He has a pile of stuffed animals in his room, including one that represents each side.

Unpopular opinion - Patton having made mistakes in the past that have recently come to light does not make him any more or less “problematic” than the other sides, who have ALSO all made mistakes in the past and make them now, and while I’m all for exploring “problematic” character traits for whatever reason you want through fanfiction, I consider the sudden wave of negativity towards the character in general to be a bit unwarranted (not saying you personally can’t be upset or even triggered by his actions, just that the overall, widespread backlash is, in my eyes, a bit much)

Song i associate with them - Colors by Halsey (yaaaay for depressed!Patton with this one)

Favorite picture of them: 

Even if it wasn’t the threat of death if he still stole the last piece of Chocolate, he wanted nothing more to make her happy. He would streak Hydra if meant giving her a laugh. Smiling slyly he passed May the last piece of imported chocolate from Belguim.

“You really are a nerd,” Melinda said.

“I know,” Phil responded, “but you love it.”
