Patton was terrified that Janus would catch him, but thankfully it seemed he would be fine for at least a little while longer. Petals threatened to come out all morning, and even after Janus left, he had trouble hiding the fact that something was wrong. Still, he thought he was doing fine at hiding it, until Logan asked him if he was okay.
"Patton, are you quite sure you're alright? You've been coughing all morning. Are you sick?"
"It's nothing, Logan. I'm fine."
Logan gave him one last glance of suspicion, then turned away from him again. Another close call. Thankfully Roman and Virgil didn't say anything. He was glad to leave once he finished eating.
Breathing hurt so badly. He had to get out of there. Hide in his room. They couldn't know. They never had to know.
They would never know.
