~The strength of love~
This was inspired by a post from @flatlinesunrelenting about wanting to see Patton being extremely built. Hope this is kind of what you were looking for!! (Conversion posted below.
Patton loved to feel the burn, bench pressing double his own body weight at least twice a day. He had to keep himself strong, cus that was the secret to his SUPER hugs.
But he didnât let any of the other sides know, if they found out just how strong he was, they wouldnât see him as the lovable puff ball he wanted them to see. He had so much love to give, and if they only saw his muscles they might not confide in him anymore.
As he finished his after workout shower his phone went off, it was Virgil. âHey Pat, trying to fix up this Stang, but I need a hand, you free?â He just smiled and got dressed to go help Virgil.
As he walked out to the driveway, he saw Virgilâs legs poking out from under his 1965 Mustang convertible, dark purple of course. He had bought it at Auction a few weeks prior, and was still trying to get it running.
âHeya Virge!â Patton said as he knelt down next to Virgil. âWhat seems to be the problem kiddo?â
âOh hey Pat, itâs this Damn Axel Perch....â
âHey, watch the language buddy.â Patton said cutting off Virgil and scolding him for such crass words.
Patton glanced over seeing logan walking up the driveway with bags full of bread and Crofters, he waved as logan paused, looking at the other sides before trying to fumble with the bags to get to his house keys, completely oblivious to the fact the door wasnât even locked. This happened every time Logan got Crofters. Itâs all he could think about and all logic went out the window. Patton just shook his head and turned back to Virgil who let out a heavy sigh.
âSorry Pat, itâs just so frustrating. I canât get the pins to line up right, no matter how I move it, it just wonât do what I need it too!â
Virgil got so mad he hit the undercarriage of his car with the wrench, and as he did so the car slipped off the jack, pinning Virgilâs chest to the driveway.
Everything happened so fast. Virgil screamed, Logan shot back as he heard a loud crash, and came running over. âVirgil!!â They both screamed.
Patton didnât even think, he just reacted. He grabbed the mustangs wheel well, and lifted up with all his strength.
Logan was already over to Virgil, pulling him out by his ankles as Patton held up the car. Once Patton saw that Logan had safely pulled Virgil away he dropped the car back down into the drive with a heavy loud grunt.
He looked over, and both Virgil and Logan were looking at him wide eyed.
âWhat? Is he ok? Do we need to....why are you looking at me like that?â Patton suddenly registered what had actually just happened. âOh, that.â
âYeah, THAT!â Said Logan as he looked over Virgil for any signs of serious problems. âWhere in the world did THAT come from?! How are you so strong?â
âYeah Patton, that was insaneâ Virgil said, coughing and holding his chest âthat was some Super hero level strengthâ
Patton rubbed the back of his neck nervously âwell, I just like to work out is all. The stronger I am, the better bear hugs I can give. I know it seems silly, but comforting you guys is what I am good at, the better the hugs, the better the comfort.â
As Virgil winced in pain and Patton quickly picked him up âwe need to get you to the hospital.â He said walking towards his grey Prius. âLogan, go get Roman and let him know what happened, meet us there. You guys can take Romans car.â
Logan, still In shock didnât even bother picking up the Crofters jars all over the front lawn, he just nodded and headed inside to get Roman who was working on a play in his room listening to very loud showtunes like he did every Saturday.
Patton gently laid Virgil in the back of his car â donât worry kiddo, youâll be ok.â He said.
âI know, Patton, Thanks to you. You saved my lifeâ he let out another painful cough.
âStop talking buddy, there is no need to thank me, you are famILY....I would do anything for any of you.â He smiled and closed the car door.
