Emotionally Broken ( Logan X ? )

Chapter 5

      Virgil was slinking around the house. He noticed Logan sitting on a chair, reading a book. Virgil peeked silently over Logan's shoulder. Logan was transfixed with his book. Virgil rested his head on Logan's shoulder. Logan read a line and traced his finger, once he was done he left his finger on the line he was reading and turned his head to look at Virgil.
      Virgil turned his head to look back at Logan. They stared at eachother. None of them said a word. Roman was on the couch as usual and was watching the two as they just stared at eachother for minuets. Roman rolled his eyes and turned his head back to the TV.
      "Ugh, just kiss already!" He called out to the two.
     The two blushed, but stayed where they were, staring at eachother. Virgil refused to move from his position to spite Roman. Logan didn't want to disturb the dark traits position on his shoulder. So they stayed like this. Roman grumbled and continued watching TV, casting quick glances at the two.
     Patton came quickly down the stairs. Roman looked at him as he stood in front of Roman.
     "Roman let's go to the park!! I heard there's an adoption being held from the animal shelter!"
     Roman raised an eyebrow at Patton. "Patton we are not getting a puppy."
     "I know Roman, let's go though! I want to see them!" He begged the Prince.
     Roman gave in. "Alright Patton."
     Pattons eyes lit up. Roman thought back to a few nights ago, how Patton crept off overcome by sadness. Maybe this was Patton taking his mind off of whatever was bringing him down. Roman followed Patton out of the house and into the car.
     Once the royal had disappeared through the closed door, Virgil moved away from Logan. Logan looked at him questionably then went back to reading. Virgil paced around the house restless. Logan sighed and closed his book again.
     "Virgil, come here." Virgil turned to look at Logan, then walked towards him.
     The logical side stood up and faced Virgil. He put his hand on Virgils cheek. Virgils cheeks went pink again. Logan pressed his lips against Virgils. Virgil closed his eyes and kissed back. Virgil wrapped his arms around Logan's neck, and Logan wrapped his arms around Virgils waist. Logan began to put pressure in the kiss. Virgil put pressure back. The two broke apart for air, then kissed again.
     Logan pulled away from Virgils mouth. He bent his head and began to softly kiss Virgils neck. Virgil gasped and moaned slightly. Logan kept kissing Virgils neck. Virgil suddenly let out a loud moan as Logan found his sweet spot. Logan kissed it more, and Virgil moaned more.
     "L-Logan."
     Relisation suddenly hit the pair. Logan pulled away from Virgils neck. They were both extremely red. Virgil dropped his arms from Logan's neck. Logan covered his mouth with his hand. Virgil pulled up his hood and turned away from the logical trait. Logan ascended the stairs to his room. There, he took down one of his many books and started to read.

Roman had a tight grip on pattons arm. He was tugging the lovable trait away from the puppy adoption. He knew this would happen, but he still went with him anyway. Patton was pouting and tugging Roman towards the puppies. Roman gave a hard tug and Patton came flying over to him.
     "Patton we aren't ready for a puppy." Roman repeated as Patton fixed his glasses.
      "Oh alright Roman...."
     Roman let go of Patton and led him away from the puppies. A girl was walking briskly towards them, her arms full of notebooks and paper. She suddenly tripped on a stray dog leash and dropped her papers. Patton gasped and rushed over to her.
     He started to collect the scattered papers. She pushed up her glasses and quietly picked her things up. Patton and Roman neatly put the scattered materials in piles.
     "Do you want us to help you carry these things for you?" Roman asked the shy girl.
     "Oh, y-yes that would be very lovely." She spoke with a British accent.
     Roman picked up some notebooks, and Patton picked up a stack of papers. The girl stood up, once again fixing her black glasses. Her black hair was pulled up into a pony tail. She hugged the notebooks close to her. Patton and Roman followed her to the adoption place. A women a little on the chubby side walked up to her and spoke to the girl harshly.
     "I saw you drop those important documents!! What were you thinking?! Without the adoption papers, no animals can be adopted!"
     The girl flinched. "S-sorry."
     Patton spoke up. "It wasn't her fault!"
     Roman joined in "Yes, she couldn't see where she was walking. If you hadn't have told to to get all those things, she could have seen where she was walking and nor dropped it."
     The women narrowed her eyes at Roman. She was about to speak when another voice, also with a British accent, spoke up.
     "Mrs. Hillman. She didn't mean to drop them."
     Roman and Patton turned towards the voice. Another girl was walking towards them. She wore purple glasses and walked with confidence towards the bickering people. She stopped beside the black haired girl.
     "It was an honest mistake anyone could have made. Now, if you would please stop yelling at my most helpful person, we have cages to bring out." Without waiting for Mrs. Hillman to reply, she took the stuff from the girl, Patton, and finally Roman, and set them all down on the table that was set up.
     The girl swung her arm over the other girls shoulder and turned away. She turned and looked at Roman and Patton. She tilted her head to signal she wanted them to follow her. So they did. The girls led them to some cages. The girl with the purple glasses kept her arm around the other girl, and turned to talk to the two traits.
     "Thank you for helping her." She spoke.
     Patton smiled. "It was no problem!"
    "I'm Cierra, this," she tilted her head towards the girl, "is Mila."
     "Hello there!" Patton smiled at both of them.
     "Forgive her, she's shy."
     Patton chuckled. "No worries, we have one at home whose shy."
     Cierra laughed. She ran a hand through her shoulder length fawn hair. Mila silently fixed her glasses. Cierra turned Mila's head so they looked at each other.
    "Its alright. I'm sure they are wonderful people." She whispered into Mila's ear. "No need to be shy." She spoke louder to Roman and Patton. "Pardon me, but I never got your names."
     Roman spoke next, "I'm Roman, this is Patton."
    Patton smiled at his name. Cierra nodded. Mila turned and wrapped her arms around Cierras waist. She had good reason. Mrs. Hillman was headed towards them. Roman and Patton turned to the women.
     "Get to work and stop wasting your time gossiping!" She snapped as she kept walking past the group of people.
     Cierra sighed. "We are low on staff, not many people like volunteering. You guys seemed to be quite interested in the puppies. Would you like to volunteer?"
     Patton immediately said "Yes!"
     Roman hesitated before agreeing as well. Patton bounced slightly as Roman agreed.
     Cierra smiled. "Great, here's mine and Mila's phone numbers, call us if you need any more information. On your way out, Please pick up a volunteer manual at the front table."
     Patton nodded. "Alright, then if there isn't anything else, Mila and I have work to do."
     Roman nodded. "Right, we shall show ourselves out."
     Patton added right before they walked away. "Thank you!"
       Patton and Roman headed back to the car. Patton had a new found happiness in his life. Volunteering at
     "An animal adoption center!"
     Patton and Roman had gotten home. Patton was excitedly telling Logan and Virgil about their day out. Virgils eyes were slightly widened. Roman was sitting on a comfy chair with his leg crossed. He was texting something on his phone whilst Patton talked. Virgil noticed, and spoke to Roman.
     "Roman isn't it rude to be texting while someone is talking?"
     Roman didn't glance up from his phone. "I am texting Cierra."
     Virgil tilted his head. "Roman, have you gone straight?"
     Roman scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Patton tell them who they are."
     Pattons eyes lit up. "We met two girls who worked there. Mila and Cierra. They were really nice to us and offered the position. They said to text them!"
     "Patton, Cierra says to text Mila. You have her number."
     Patton nodded "Okay I will!"
     Patton took out his phone and punched in the number Cierra gave him.
Patton: Hey! This is Patton, is this Mila?
Mila: Yes.
Patton: Ah, fantastic! Cierra told me to text you, is everything alright?
Mila: Yes. I just wanted to send you. Some more information. Cierra sent it to Roman.
Patton: You and Cierra are close, no?
Mila: Yes. We are. Very close.
Patton: Oooo. Sounds romantic.
Mila: ...
Mila: No
Mila: I don't think she feels the same way...
     Patton gasped. Virgil, Roman, and Logan turned their heads to look at him. Roman gave a knowing glint in his eye, and turned back to his phone.
Roman: I think he got it.
Cierra: Lets see what happens.
Patton began to text again.
Patton: You like her??
Mila: Y-Yes... I do.
Patton: Awwww that's so cute!!
Mila: ...
Patton: I'm sure she feels the same way.
Mila: But...what if she doesn't. She could like someone else...I don't know what I'd do if I got rejected.
Patton: I know the feeling...
Mila: You do?
Patton: Yes.
Mila: I am sorry.
Patton: Don't be kiddo! It can't be helped.
Mila:  I'm sending the file to everything you need to know.
File Attatchment sent.
Patton: Thank you.
Mila:  You're welcome.
      Patton put down his phone. Roman typed a reply then put it down as well. Logan and Virgil exchanged curious glanced. Both Roman and Patton wore slight frowns now. They disappeared as their phones buzzed and a picture showed up.
     "So, Patton," Virgil started. Patton turned to look at him. "What's for diner?"
     Pattons eyes widened. "I forgot to shop for diner!"
     Logan stood up. "No worries Patton, we shall go to the store together."
     Logan paused. Why did he volunteer to shop with Patton? It was his least favourite thing to do, but he found himself wanting to spend time with Patton. Logan began walking towards the door.
      "Well then come on Patton." Logan fixed his tie and grabbed the car keys.
Patton followed Logan with slightly wide eyes. Logan opened the drivers door, and Patton climbed into the passengers. Logan started the car. Patton felt his heart beat as it usually does around Logan. Logan drove to a Wal-Mart. Patton and l ogan got out of the car. Patton began walking into Wal-Mart. He grabbed a cart and started to walk around. Patton and Logan walked around the store collecting everything they needed.
     Logan was picking fruit pit with Patton. He looked over at the dad trait as he tested the ripeness. Logan felt something in his heart stir. He leaned over without thinking and kissed pattons cheek lightly. Patton's cheeks became red. He turned his head to look at Logan. Logan had already turned his attention back to the fruit.
Why did I do that? Logan thought to himself.
     "Why did you do that?" Patton spoke his thoughts aloud.
     Logan shrugged. "A... friendly gesture." He simply said. "I've been happier lately. Patton. I like being happy." Logan half smiled.
        Patton returned it with a full smile, and went back to shopping. His heart sank as Logan friendzoned him. At the same time, he felt happy that Logan was happy. Logan and Patton finished the shopping trip. They returned home with the groceries and Patton immediately started on diner.
Logan sat by Virgil on the couch. Patton looked up from chopping scallions. He saw Logan give Virgil a kiss on the cheek. When Virgil turned his head, he kissed the dark trait on the lips. The separated then did their own thing. Logan reading a book, and Virgil on his phone. Patton went back to making diner.
     When it was done, everyone sat down at their places. Except for Logan. Instead of sitting next to Patton he sat next to Virgil. Patton felt a stab of sadness pierce his heart. After be served everybody and they gave their thanks, Patton served himself and sat down to eat. Patton folded his hands and looked at his lap.
     Roman looked up from eating. He noticed Patton. Patton had tears in his eyes. Roman became concerned. Logan and Virgil didn't see, to notice and for once, he was glad Thomas wasn't here. He decided not to draw any attention to Patton.
     Patton felt the tears in his eyes. He saw them too. He didn't  want to start crying. This day had been an emotional roller coaster. Happiness. Sadness. Happiness. Sadness. Hope. Rejection. Rejection. Not quite rejection. He really was trying to be happy. Patton felt a tear fall. He mentally wished for them to stop but they kept coming. Patton suddenly stodd up and ran up to his room in tears.
     The others looked up shocked. Roman followed Pattons retreat with his eyes. He went to Pattons plate, wrapped a paper towel around it, and set it in the fridge for later. Logan and Virgil looked at Roman in confusion. Roman shrugged. Logan and Virgil finished their diner and sat on the couch, resuming their previous activities. Roman took charge and cleaned up the kitchen. He put everything away. He sat back down on his comfy chair and pulled out his phone.
Roman: Hey, Cierra. Sorry to text you this late. May I ask if Patton and I can go in tomorrow. Hes...having a rough time right now. Some puppies should cheer him up.
Cierra: Sure. Is everything okay?
Roman: I don't know. He ran off from diner crying. Didn't eat. Hasn't come out.
Cierra: Give him space. He'll talk when he wants to, and if he doesn't, that's okay. Try to press him but don't pressure him too much.
Roman: Okay, I shall take note of  it. Thank you Cierra. This has never happened before.
Cierra: I could tell. Mila gets like that sometimes. Just leaves to cry... I give her space. Hug her if she needs but I don't press her. Do the same for Patton. Offer some comfort, if he doesn't want any leave him be.
Roman: Mila is very lucky to have such a good friend. I'll take your advice, have a good night!
Cierra: You too! Good luck. Come around 10:30.
      Roman walked to patrons room and softly knocked on the door. "Patton. Your diner is in the fridge. Do you need someone to talk to?"
     Patton remained silent. Roman turned away from pattons door. He walked away from the dad traits door. He looked over the stairs. He saw Logan and Virgil had locked lips again. Roman kept walking to his room. Roman was now highly concerned for Patton. He didn't sleep easy. He heard Virgil and Logan walk up the stairs after a bit. Soon after, Roman fell into an uneasy sleep.
