“It’s nothing to worry about, Dee. I promise,” replies Patton.

Deceit frowns.

“What doesn’t Dee need to worry about?” asks Virgil from the other side of the room.

Patton opens his mouth to say something but Deceit places a finger on his lips, silencing him.

Walking over, Virgil sits on the other side of Patton.

“I didn’t come in and see Patton frowning. He told me the reason when I asked,” explains Deceit.

“Patton?” asks Virgil softly as he takes his hand.

Patton sighs.

“I got to thinking about how we spend all of our time either out here or in my room then how I’ve never spent any time in either of your rooms which brought me to the thought that you didn’t want me in there,” explains Patton.

He knows when his boyfriends team up they’ll always get what they want especially from him.

Virgil and Deceit share a look.

“We do want to spend time with you in our rooms but we didn’t think you want to, after the first time you came into my room with Logan, Roman and Thomas,” responds Virgil.

Patton squeezes his hand before grabbing Deceit’s with his other one.

“Our rooms are totally like the Light Sides’ rooms and there’s nothing to worry about in them,” comments Deceit.

Patton smiles softly at him.

“I’ll be with one or both of you so it won’t be scary or anything. How could it be when I’m with my two protectors?”

Deceit feels the non-scaly side of his face heat up at Patton’s words while Virgil buries his face in Patton’s shoulder.

Giggling softly at his loves, Patton squeezes their hands.

“I love you both,” he says softly.

“I totally don’t love you at all,” replies Deceit.

He’s always known he didn’t have a change with Dee and didn’t have an issue with random people flirting and trying to pick him up…but now, Roman’s entered the fray, Patton has less than a zero percent chance with Dee. He can hear Logan’s voice in his head, saying that’s not possible.

Who in their right mind would pick Patton Hart over Roman Prince?

“Patton – I,” starts Dee but Patton interrupts him.

“Don’t Dee, just don’t.”

Patton takes a couple of deep breaths while Dee stares at the back of his head.

How did things get so messed up?

“Uh, hey guys. What’s going on?”

Patton stiffens at the sound of Roman’s voice; it’s time to get out of here. Going over to where his bag sits packed for his afternoon classes, he grabs it then puts it on properly.

Then he turns to Dee and Roman.

“I’ve got class, gotta go.”

He doesn’t wait for them to respond before heading out of the door. There’s an hour to his class so he might as well get some coffee, it could help him calm down.

Roman and Dee stand there, staring at the doorway in shock at Patton’s behavior.
