T.W.: panic attack, burns, mention of blood

The heartbroken look on Roman's face was too much for me to bear, but I couldn't bring myself to lie to him. The gashes on Logan's chest alone were bad enough... and when the Dragon-Witch crushed him-

"Virgy?" Roman asked from the couch, "what's Thomas gonna do?"

I paused and dropped the cold cloth I was cleaning Roman's burns with.

"Oh shit, Thomas!" I nearly yelled, "What the hell is he gonna do without Logic!? How is he going to survive!? W-what's going to h-happen? H-how-?"

"Virge?! Virge, breathe!" Roman said.

I shook my head, "I ca- I can't!"

Roman pulled me into a one armed hug, "Virge, try and match my breathing, okay?"

I nodded into his uninjured shoulder. Roman started tracing little hearts on my back. He kissed the side of my head and began to sing.

"I've got a secret for the mad
In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad
And I get that I don't get it
But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it.

"You're not gonna believe a word I say
What's the point in just drowning another day
And I get that I don't get it
But the world will show you that you won't regret it.

"Little things, all the stereotypes
They're gonna help you get through this one night
And there will be a day
When you can say you're okay and mean it.

"I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again.

"There's nothing to do right now but try
There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry
And I get that they don't get it
But they love you so much that you won't regret it.

"You're at the bottom, this is it
Just get through, you will be fixed
And you think, that I don't get it
But I burned my way through and I don't regret it.

"Little things, all the stereotypes
They're gonna help you get through this one night
And there will be a day
When you can say you're okay and mean it.

"I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again."

I sighed and pulled away from his hug, "I'm sorry I freaked out on you Ro."

"Its alright, mi amor," Roman said, "Never apologize for something you can't control."

He kissed me, short and sweet. I smiled softly and grabbed the cloth o dropped earlier.

"Okay, Ro, let's get you bandaged up." I told him.

Roman nodded. I got up to rinse the cloth and grab some bandages. Once I gathered everything I needed, I sat back down next to Ro.

"Ro, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to cut off your shirt." I joked.

"Oh no!" Roman laughed, "What am I going to do without a bloody, half burnt shirt?!"

We laughed a bit more as I cut off the remains of Roman's shirt.

"H-hey Virge?" Roman said, still giggling slightly, "Why is the room spinning?"

"What are you- oof!" I was cut off my Roman falling back against me.

He frowned suddenly, "Virgy, why does my shoulder hurt?"

"Ro, what-?" I touched his cheek. His skin was cold and clammy, "Oh shit."

"Language..." Patton said, waking up.

"Padre!" Roman laughed.

"Virge?" Patton asked, "What's wrong with Roman?"

"He's gone into shock." I said, my panick starting to build.

Patton's eyes widened, "Get him on his side and raise his feet, a-and get him a blanket!"

I nodded as Patton ran to the kitchen. Ro whined when I tried to lay him down.

I sighed, "Ro please? It'll make the room stop spinning."

Roman nodded and layed down on my lap. I proped his feet up on the armrest and pulled a blanket over his lower half. Grabbing the cloth again, I placed it over the worst of the burns. Ro sighed in relief.

Patton came in with a glass of water, "Hey kiddo, drink this slowly. Very slowly."

Roman took a sip and made a face, "Why does it taste so funny?"

"Its, um..." Patton started, "Its a potion to make you feel better."

Roman nodded and took another sip. Patton bit his lip and turned to look at his burns.

"Put some aloe on his burns and cover it in a gauze pad." Patton whispered.

I nodded, "Hey Patton? How do you know so much about this?"

Patton sighed, "When Roman fought his first Dragon-Witch, he got burned really bad, just like this. Logan knew what to do and showed me how to do it. 'In case of an emergency' he said. So I remembered it."

"Oh..." I said quietly.

Patton ruffled my hair, "Take care of your fiance now kiddo."

I flushed and summoned the aloe and gauze pad.

"Are we gonna be okay, Virgy?" Roman asked.

I smiled, "Yes."
