Hiding Away

Patton was walking down the hallway, after he passed Logan's door he noticed it was slightly opened and Logan was talking to someone.

"You don't understand." Logan sounded worried. Patton peeked in and saw Logan pacing back and forth.

"Yes I do." Someone that sounded a lot like Virgil said.

"How do you know what it feels like? People don't think you're an emotionless robot! People don't think of you as a walking dictionary! People think it's preposterous if I fall in love with someone, you, people wouldn't care or they think its likely for it to happen. But me? It's a different story." Logan ranted.

"It's okay. Im sure he would understand." Patton started thinking. He always loved Logan, more than the others actually. He always found his knowledge of everything was adorable, how he would start the day with his hair slicked back, but by the end of the day he had run his hand through his hair so many times because of stress that it was a complete mess. He adored the way his eyes lit up whenever someone asked him a question about stars, or books, or just a simple question. 

Patton had zoned out, until Logan started ranting again.

"And the way he freaked looked at me, I just can't stand it! And when he falls asleep and starts to cuddle me it's adorable and I love the affection. I love him.I love Patton..." Logan sounded like he just realized that.

And then the worst happened. Patton sneezed. It was a soft sneeze, almost like a kitten.

"Patton..." Logan whispered, he of all people would know the way Patton sneezes.

Patton quickly walked off, making his way into the common room and hiding himself under a blanket. He was hoping that of he couldn't see them, than they couldn't see him.

"Patton? What are you doing?" Patton heard Virgil ask him. He decided not to answer.

"How much did you hear?" Logan asked, once again sounding worried. Patton still didn't answer.

"Patton please tell me." Logan sat down next to Patton, waiting for a response.

"I didn't hear anything. Why do you ask?" Patton asked sitting up, leaving the blanket draped around his shoulders, a bright, fake smile on his face. 

"I heard you by my door." Logan explained.

"I was just passing by." Patton lied, and Virgil knew he was lying, so did Logan. Patton always got uncomfortable when he lied.

"Patton..." Logan started.

"I have to go." Patton tried to get up and run off, but was stopped when Logan grabbed his wrist.

"Please tell me." Logan asked him.

"I love you too Logan." Patton said before rushing off to his room, closing and locking his door, and sat in the corner of his room. His knees were hiding his face, and he was slowly rocking back and forth.

Patton stayed in his rooms for hours, which turned into days, which turned into a week. He never left his room and only drank tap water from his bathroom sink, not eating anything. They had all tried to get him to come out of his room, but he was lost in dark thoughts.

He doesn't love you, no one could.

You imagined him saying that.

You embarrassed yourself.

You embarrassed him.

He was interrupted by a knock on his door. His head shot up, it was the first thing that he's heard in a few days, even though they've all been knocking non stop.
