Summary: Roman had been his first love, his first kiss, his first dance, his first everything.
And Janus gave him everything heâd ever known â his home, his children, his grandchildren. Janus understood him in a way nobody else ever could.
OR: after patton died, he didn't have just one husband waiting for him. he had two, and the most impossible decision he'd ever been asked to make
Warnings: grief/mourning, mentions of dying at war, mentions/discussions of suicide (none of the main 3 committed), really REALLY hard decisions to make
Words: 3060
Chapters: 1 2 3 4
The day Patton died was sunny and bright. It wasnât a sad day. Heâd lived a long and happy life, filled to the brim with love and experience and culture. His husband had died the year before, and heâd really only wanted to be with him again. The funeral was packed with all the people heâd loved â his children and grandchildren, his neighbours, his old friends and colleagues. While death is always an intrinsically sad affair, Patton had the one most can only dream of and pray for.
He had simply gone to sleep one night, warm in his bed after a day spent with his family, and didnât wake up. His next door neighbour had called a well-being check for him when he didn't open his blinds the next morning. Heâd only been dead a few hours, the doctors said. It was a good death. Peaceful, painless, quick.
When Patton died, he woke up in a bedroom he didnât recognise. None of the weight was attached to his limbs, none of the stiffness creaking in his joints, none of the dryness in his eyes. He sat up easily, quickly, and he didnât find himself dizzy.
âPatton?â a voice asked, soft and slow. He turned to the side and found a lady with warm eyes and a welcoming smile and he returned it on instinct.
She was dressed professionally â a neat, knee-length pencil skirt and a blazer. She was holding a clipboard, hands holding it lightly.
âHello,â he said politely.
âHi! My nameâs Missy.â
âWell, itâs lovely to meet you. Iâm Patton, but you seem to know that already.â
She inclined her head. âI do. Do you understand whatâs going on, Patton?â
âUm⌠Well, no, not really,â he said, smiling politely, if puzzled. âI feelâ Well, I feel good! Really good. Like Iâm twenty again!â
âPatton. Iâm afraid to say you died last night.â
The smile fell from his lips. He stared at her for a moment, and blinked. âIâ I did?â
âYou did.â
Slowly, Patton began to shake his head. âBut Iâ My kids, myââ
Missy looked down at her clipboard, lifting a page to peek underneath. âAh, yes. Thatâs⌠two sons, yes? Virgil and Thomas.â
âThey still need me.â
âDo they?â Missy asked, head tilting. âI think you raised them perfectly, if I do say so myself. Perfectly enough, and for long enough, that I think theyâre going to be just fine without you.â
Patton blinked at her. He laughed, slightly dizzy, pressing a hand to his chest and trying not to start blubbing. âWell, I⌠I suppose it was a long old life, wasnât it?â
âIt was.â
âAnd theyâ theyâre good boys. Good brothers. They love each other, theyâll look after each other. I know they will. And theyâve got Logan, and Nico, and the boys⌠theyâll be okay. Theyâll be okay.â
âIâm sure they will.â
Patton sniffled, and then gasped. âOhâ Oh, is he here? Is my Janus here?â
âHe is. Heâs been waiting for you. Would you like to see him?â
âCan I? Can I really? You promise heâs here, youâre not messing with me?â
Missy smiled brightly. âOf course! Come with me, Iâll take you to him.â
Immediately, his heart pounding â was that right? Surely his heart wasnât pounding if he was dead, but it sure felt like it was doing some kind of nervous little dance deep in his chest â Patton shot to his feet and rushed after Missy. She led him out of the room, into a large corridor. It looked like a hotel, really, he thought, with rows of doors closed tight on either side. The carpet was plush and dark â an intricate, weaving pattern that sort of reminded him of the rug he and Janus had lugged through their first three houses, before it had been set on fire on Thomasâs fourth birthday, when Patton had tripped up whilst carrying the cake in.
He tried to take deep breaths as they walked. They turned a corner, and then there was a wide, grand set of stairs. It was sort of like the stairs youâd see in a rich wedding, or maybe a period piece with a ball, where the princess descends in her gorgeous dress and meets the eyes of her masked suitor.
Missy stopped at the top, and gestured for Patton to go ahead. He froze, staring at her, and his breath hitched. âYou promise?â
âI promise.â
Pattonâs hands shook, and he gripped the bannister tightly. Walking down stairs hadnât been this easy since before his first grandkids were born, and yet his legs shook violently as he went. What if he wasnât there? What if this was some sort of deeply elaborate and deeply cruel prank?
He walked slowly, following the curve of the stairs, eyes catching on the glistening chandelier, and then he raked them down, and froze.
The man had his back to Patton. He was wearing a black suit, but the bowler hat was one heâd had the whole time Patton knew him, one Patton had given to Virgil when he died. He turned, and it happened like it was slow motion, first his body, then his head, and thenâ
His eyes met Pattonâs, and he was so young again, almost as young as when theyâd first met. His face split into a bright grin, stretching the scars that lay across the left side of his face.
Patton felt like he was flying. The rest of the steps seemed to disappear from beneath him, and he soared through the air, light as a feather and vision blurred with tears. He collided with Janus, who caught him with arms around his neck, and Patton span him around, laughing and crying all at once and he felt like the day theyâd gotten married. He pressed a kiss to Janusâ mouth, squeezing him around the waist, and Janus laughed against him.
âYou werenât meant to be here so early,â Janus said, and Patton set him down.
âEarly? I waited a whole year! Oh, Janny, look at you. Youâre gorgeous.â
Janus scoffed, rolling his eyes. âPlease, I lookââ
âWell, start believing it. Because youâve got the rest of eternity toââ
A voice interrupted him, curt and professional, and Patton remembered they technically had an audience. âActually,â Missy said. âThere may be a⌠slight bump in your road to shared eternal happiness.â
Patton frowned, and Janus scoffed, and he was glaring at her so viciously that it actually startled Patton, too, and he squeezed his shoulders comfortingly. âExcuse me?â Janus spat, like he didnât even feel Pattonâs hands. âWhat the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you saying we arenât good enough for heaven? I waited here forââ
âHello, my dear, sweet prince.â
Another voice had interrupted Janus. Low and smooth and rich, and so violently, achingly familiar that Patton felt it like a tug deep inside him. The air caught in his chest, and he turned in the other direction, where a man stood, his eyes locked onto Patton.
âUh⌠whoâs this?â Janus asked, as Pattonâs hands fell off his shoulders. He couldnât bring himself to speak. He wasnât sure he knew how, his tongue heavy in his mouth as he shuffled closer to the man.
He was taller than Patton â and heâd forgotten that, actually, the fact that heâd once been shorter â with broad shoulders and a square jaw. His hair was perfectly swooping, auburn locks glinting in the light. His teeth were bright and white, his full lips curving around them.
And his eyes. Oh, his eyes. The day coloured photos became commonplace, Patton had sobbed like a baby, because heâd have given anything to be able to show people how violently green his eyes had been. Patton moved closer to him like he was in a trance, and he heard Missy say something to Janus, but he couldnât really hear over the roaring in his ears as he stood before him. His fingers trembled as he lifted them to gently poke at the manâs cheek.
âOh, my goodness,â he whispered, voice shaking. âOh, itâsâ Itâs you.â
âAh!â Janus cried with false cheer. âOf course, itâsâ Itâs our bartender! Jack! Jack, old pal, howâve youââ
Patton didnât mean to interrupt him. But he just couldnât keep it in. âI never even dreamed you this clearly,â he choked.
âYou are exactly as I remember,â Roman said, his hands holding Pattonâs face between them, and he was so warm, so real, right there in front of him.
Behind him, Patton heard Janus choke on a scoff. âNo. Now, hold on,â he said. âRoman had a moustache.â
âPatty always hated it,â Roman said, not looking away from him even as he addressed Janus. âSo I shave it off every morning in the hopes that that will be the day he arrives.â
Behind him, Missy said, âAnd today is,â her voice thick, but Patton didnât even really hear her.
âRemus grew one after,â he said.
Roman let out a hearty laugh. âI know he did. I saw him, when he came through. I must admit, he wears it far better than I did., although you can never tell him I said so.â
Patton choked back a sob, biting down on his bottom lip. âI tried to help him. Roman, sweetheart, I tried so hard.â
âOh, I know. I know, my dear. It wasnât your fault. I never blamed you. And neither did he. Not for a second.â
âI am. And so are you. Together once more, my sweet.â
âHey, hello. Also here,â Janus snapped behind them, and Patton gasped, turning to look at him with wide eyes.
âAh, yes,â Roman drawled. âWho, exactly, are you?â
âThis is the second husband,â Missy answered, and Janus turned to glare at her.
âCurrent husband,â he snarled, and Patton reached out to lay a hand on his arm. When had he gotten so close?
Missy smiled that polite, customer-service smile that Thomas used to give the neighbours when they were being too rude to Virgil. âOf course. But, technically, death did you all part. None of you are current husbands.â
Roman scoffed. He wrapped his arms around Pattonâs waist and swayed him back and forth, and when Patton squirmed, embarrassed, his hold tightened. âA lifelong love is not to be paused by the mere ending of oneâs life!â he cried. Janus was glaring daggers at him, and Patton swallowed. He squirmed again, and Romanâs arms fell away.
Patton had loved being held like that. It made him feel safe, and warm. He used to laugh so hard his eyes would prick with tears as Roman squeezed and squeezed. He closed his eyes tightly and stepped away from both Janus and Roman, towards Missy, his breathing quick and shallow.
âJustâ Hold on, okay?â he said tightly. âWhatâ Missy, dear, could you explain what⌠well, whatâs going on here?â
âWell, now you get to pick!â she said brightly.
Everything seemed to freeze. Patton stared at her, a touch lightheaded, and he tilted his head in confusion. âSorry, pick?â he asked. âWhatâ What does that mean, exactly?â
A hand brushed against his, and he flinched, clutching it to his chest and glancing at Janus. Janus raised an eyebrow, studying Patton carefully, and Patton smiled weakly and nodded, even though his hands were shaking where he had them clasped at his chest and he felt oddly like his knees were going to buckle.
âYou see,â Missy explained, her voice still bright, âyou get to choose who youâll spend your eternity with. Roman, or Janus!â
Patton felt like his heart had stopped all over again. Choose? How on Earth was anyone supposed toâ
What a ridiculous idea. What a cruel idea. Surely, he wasnât the first person to be in his position. Surely, the others had refused. Anyone would refuse! How could anyone just pick?
He shook his head. âI canât do that.â
âWell⌠Iâm afraid you have to. Roman had the option to move on, you see, but he chose to wait here for you. Same for Janus. That means you get to pick!â
This wasnât fair. It wasnât right. Was he in Hell? This certainly felt like torture. It wasâ
He couldnâtâ
It wasnât fair! Heâd waited a year, a whole year, to see Janus again, and they barely gave him ten seconds beforeâ
And Roman, Roman who heâd never forgotten about, of course he hadnât, Roman had been his first love, his first kiss, his first dance, his first everything.
And he was so, so glad he was here. He was so beautiful. And Patton had lay awake, sometimes, even beside Janus, wondering what his life would have looked like if Roman hadnât died. Hadnât been killed. He would never have traded it, of course, Janus gave him everything heâd ever known â his home, his children, his grandchildren. Janus understood him in a way nobody else ever could.
But Roman. His tragic, heroic Roman. Heâd wanted all of that, too. Kids, a family, love. He would have given it to Patton, if heâd been able. He could have understood him like Janus did. It wasnât his fault that the chance was taken from him. And heâd waited here. Heâd waited here, ignoring his own potential heaven so he could share it with Patton. For nearly seventy years he sat here waiting, and what was that beside the mere year Patton had waited around for Janus? How could Patton possibly pick between them?
âI⌠Hold on, I thinkâŚâ he began, breathless.
Two hands landed on Pattonâs shoulders, squeezing and massaging, but they only make him jump slightly. âMy dear prince, is everything alright?â Romanâs voice asked, low and worried in his ear. âSurely you yearn for the life we could have had.â
âTake your hands off him,â Janus snapped, but then he reached forwards and grabbed Pattonâs arm, trying to pull him away.
âExcuse me, but Iâm his husband!â
âSo am I! And I can see heâs clearly not in the slightest bit overwhelmed.â
âJanusââ Patton croaked, as Roman tightened his grip.
âPatton, I think itâs best you make this decision quickly,â Missy said, as Roman and Janus started arguing properly.
Patton closed his eyes tightly. Their hands were pulling at him, and he was sure a couple of them had to be around his throat, because he just couldnât work out how to draw a proper breath. Were they getting louder? None of them would ever choke him, of course, there was no way! Why were they yelling?
He opened his eyes and looked at Missy. âI canât,â he choked, and everything went quiet. âI donât know how, that isnât something you can just ask me to do like itâs easy, please.â
âPat,â Janus began slowly, like it was obvious, and, Patton supposed, to him it was. âWeâ Our whole lives, Patton. We had decades, we had children, grandchildren. Youâ Iâm your husband, me.â
âYou only got that because I died when I was barely old enough to legally drink!â Roman shrieked, and Patton felt his face crumple, his eyes locked on Missy.
âPlease,â he whispered. âCanât Iâ I mean, canât⌠why do I have to choose?â
âYou can only go to one eternity,â she said, like he was dumb.
âOver your⌠husband? He isnât a dog. Look, howâs this: you donât have to pick immediately. We can⌠How about, they each put on a day, a great day, where they try their very best to impress you, and then you can see which youâd rather spend eternity with!â
Patton stared at her, and he thought he might be sick. âA competition?â he whispered, and Roman crowed delightedly behind him, âA contest!â
Janus scoffed. âHere? Weâre in a hotel, how are we supposed to show himââ
âOh, youâd get full creative control. We can create anything you describe exactly as you describe it. Wellâ As long as it existed in the world before you died, that is.â
He scoffed again, clearly disapproving of the idea, but didnât utter another word in protest. Patton shrugged the hands off him, eyes huge. âI canât,â he repeated, because nobody much seemed to be understanding him.
âYou gotta,â Missy said with a shrug. âBesides, thisâll be fun!â
âA wonderful day with me, after so long!â Roman cried, and Pattonâs stomach flipped as he shot him a bright, crooked grin. âWhat could go wrong?â
Patton smiled up at him, reaching to hold his cheek gently. âItâs not so much that anything will go wrong, Ro, I justâŚâ
âThrow caution to the wind, my dearest! We will have one beautiful day together, just like we did so often in our youths, and then we can spend eternity together.â
With a shaky sigh, Patton turned to Janus. The man was watching them, eyes flicking between Patton and Roman, until he met Pattonâs eyes. He quirked a brow, and for the first time in his life, Patton wasnât entirely sure what it meant.
âItâs⌠well. I suppose itâs your choice, isnât it?â
Patton sniffed weakly. âI donât know what to do,â he said.
âWell, your options are between pick now and forever hold your peace, or give them both a trial run,â Missy answered, and she was starting to lose the brightness, lose her patience.
He nodded. âOkay, okay. Iâm sorry, okay, fine. We canâ We can do theâ the contestââ His voice cracked. âBut whatâ what about the rest of today? Do we justâ all three of us justâ sit around? Together?â
Missy shrugged. âI guess. Or you could start right now.â
Immediately, Patton shook his head. âNo, Iâ please, can I justâ both, for right now, please?â He turned to them, and there must have been something in his eyes, or on his face, because both of them flinched for a second before surging closer.
âOf course,â Roman assured, as Janus started nodding quickly. âOf course, dearest, anything you want.â
Patton sighed shakily and nodded, and each of his hands were being held by one of the only two men heâd ever loved. He squeezed them, his eyes closed tightly, even as they shot glares at each other past his head.

"Oh! Oh no, Charming, please don't attack the Christmas tree," Roman exclaimed.
He scooped the little kitten off of the floor and away from the tree. Charming meowed at him - annoyed - but didn't try to squirm out of Roman's arms. Roman carefully lifted the kitten so he could make eye contact with him.
"You are no doubt the most adorable kitten in the world," Roman said. "But you are also very rude."
"No!" Patton said as he stepped into the room. "He's not rude, he's adorable." He walked over to Roman and Charming, and carefully petted the kitten's head. "A good boy!"
"He was attacking our poor, innocent Christmas tree! Very un-princely. We must teach him some manners!"
"No!" Patton complained. "He's a good boy, a perfect boy!"
"He's a little villain!"
Just as Roman finished saying that, Janus stepped into the room. He immediately made his way over to them and ran his finger down Charming's fluffy back.
"What are we discussing?" He asked.
"Charming attacked our poor Christmas tree, but Patton thinks he's still a good boy!"
"You can't be mean to him!" Patton exclaimed. "He's just a little baby!"
Janus hummed in thought.
"I think," Janus finally decided. "That he's an adorable little villain. A perfect, evil boy."
Warnings: Swearing (please tell me if thereâs any I should add!!)
Note: This is a companion piece to @dragon-hair âs post! We decided to team up this Deceitber!! Also, tagging @jessibbb cause I know you like this ship (hope you donât mind!)
Deceitâs boyfriends are quite protective of him. Well, that may be an understatement. Patton and Roman claim that theyâd both kill and/or die for their scaled boyfriend. While itâs sweet, itâs a bit much, especially right now.
âI will face Mother Nature herself and demand she make the weather warmer for you, my dearest,â Roman claims, being his dramatic self. Deceit glares at him from his space on the couch. Heâs in his oversized yellow hoodie and gloves, buried under multiple blankets, yet still shivering.
âYou control the temperature in the Mindscape, dipshit,â Deceit hisses. Romanâs hand goes to his chest, making his usual Offended Princey Noises. Even if it doesnât warm him up, the action does make Deceit laugh.
âDandelion, please donât call Roman a...that.â Patton has reappeared from wherever he went, a black garment and mug in his hands. âAnd Ro, Love, I know you're only trying to help, but annoying DeeDee isnât getting him any warmer.â
Roman pouts as Deceit sticks his forked tongue out at the other. Patton walks over to him, handing him the mug. Deceitâs tongue flicks out again, smiling when he smells the hot chocolate. As he takes a sip, Patton slips a beanie on Deceitâs head.
âBetter, Darling?â Roman asks, now sitting next to Deceit. He groans, digging his face into Romanâs shoulder.
âIâm still too cold,â Deceit whines, muffled by Romanâs shoulder. Roman wraps an arm around his cold boyfriend, then gives a little gasp.
âPat!â he exclaims. âCome hold Snakespeare for me and Iâll be right back!â Deceit mutters a half-assed argument, but is silenced when heâs coaxed into Pattonâs arms.
He stays there for a couple minutes, shivering into Patton as he sips his cocoa. Itâs actually peaceful. Then Roman comes back.
âGot it!â Deceit sighs, letting his eyes crack open. He finds Roman crouched in front of him, hands hiding something behind his back.
âRoman, what are you hiding?â Deceit sighs, a smile betraying him. He canât help it though, Roman looks adorable when heâs this excited.
âA gift!â he giggles. Roman pulls his arms out in front of him, revealing a scarf. Itâs long and actually quite nice. It has stripes of yellow and pastel yellow, nicely matching the rest of his attire. âCan I put it on you?â His voice is back to that romantic softness Deceit always melts at, still holding a hint of excitement. Deceit canât help but nod.
He pulls away from Patton just enough for Roman to wrap the scarf around him. Deceit canât help but gasp when itâs on him. Itâs so warm, it may as well be a heating pad. He buries his face into the garment, sighing at the warmth.
âAww,â Patton coos, hugging his boyfriend closer. Deceit practically purrs into him, finally warm. Roman sits on the other side of him, leaning into him and holding one of his gloved hands.
âThank you, Ro,â Deceit mutters. He feels one of his boyfriends carefully take his cocoa before he drifts into a peaceful, warm sleep, cuddled against his wonderful boyfriends.
