Lost and found [sanders sides au]

Ice

[the title barely makes sense but I liked it lol and sorry for taking so long to update]

(Trigger warning: Mentions of abuse, panic attacks, but there's some fluff don't worry lol)
<Third Person>

Patton and Virgil finished setting up most of their things. They decided to walk around and see where everything was. Even though it might have been embarrassing, Patton decided to hold Virgil's hand.

They continued to walk over and found where to cafeteria and ice room was.

Roman and Logan decided to do the same. "Hey Lo, are you sure this shirt looks okay?" Roman was wearing a green shirt, much different than his usual tastes. "I know your concerned because it's a shirt that belonged to Remus prior, but today is moving day for many people and others won't be judging you based on the color of your shirt." Logan said.

"I just wanted a yes or no" Roman said sighing.

<Romans POV>

It almost made me sad to wear the green shirt. It was the last thing I had of my brother's before he went a little insane. I heard that he got arrested for abusing this poor kid. Remus and I are getting ready to turn 21, although I guess he won't be having that fun of a birthday.

I just have to forget about it for now, there's more important things to worry about. "Are you ready Lo?" I asked wanting to leave and get my mind off things. He nodded and we walked out.

<Logan's POV>

Although I'm not good at responding to people's emotions, I've gotten pretty good at reading them. I could tell Roman was thinking about Remus again by the looK in his eyes.

I understand that he most likely feels ashamed but sad about the resent news of Remus' arrest.

We walked around figuring out where everything was. "There's the ice room, which we're gonna need in this heat" Roman said. I wanted to correct him saying gonna is not a word, but something made me let it slide. We decided to sit down at a table.

"Roman, are you good, ...fam?" I said trying to use the phrases he gave me. He let out a small chuckle and said, "yeah, just thinking." I wasn't sure how to bring it up, so I decided being straight (even though I am not straight) forward was the best approach. "You mean about Remus?"

He looked slightly shocked, but nodded in agreement. "Would you like to speak about it? Studies show that talking about feelings can make one feel better."

"Naw I just wanna get my mind off of it for now, maybe later where there aren't people around." He said looking around.

"Your grammar- you know what, I'll let it slide this time for your wellbeing." I said. "Would you like to pick something up to eat? You most likely have not gotten your proper nutrition today."

"Awww those two are so cute" Roman said quietly gesturing towards two men holding hands, one looking exited and bubbly, the other looking anxious.

"How are they 'cute' as you called it?" I asked, not understanding what Roman meant.

"Their holding hands and they look super happy!"

Yes, while the one man did look very happy, something seemed off about the other one, and I don't think Roman noticed.

<Virgil's POV>

I'm glad Patton held my hand. Even if it might seem weird to some people, it helped calm me down. I couldn't help but worry about meeting a bunch of new people, but can you blame me?

We walked down the stairs, Patton probably taking us this way because he knows how much I hate elevators. We found the different areas, like the laundry room and ice room, and decided to get something to eat.

We walked past a bunch of tables, and I felt like everyone was watching me holding Patton's hand. I almost let go, but at least I could have him there. We were trying to find a table slightly more by itself so I wouldn't have to worry anymore.

We sat there eating, well Patton was eating, I was barely eating because I just couldn't, and I started looking around.

Then I saw him.

<Patton's POV>

Virgil was barely eating, and I could see that he was kind of giving up. He just started looking around, so I figured I could try to get him to eat later.

I went back to eating when I heard a small squeak come from him, his grip tightened on my hand, then he covered his mouth with his hoodie loose on his hand.

"What's wrong kiddo?" I asked, looking around to figure out what he was staring at.

"H-he's... h-how?" He said pulling his hood over his head. I rubbed circles on his back, still trying to figure out where he was looking.

I spotted someone in a green shirt, who looked a lot like Remus. "Oh my-" I started before being cut off. "H-hey Pat? C-can I go?"

I got up and walked with him trying to calm him down. My poor little anxious baby was still shaking by the time we got up to our room.

Then my heart broke as I watched Virge sit down and start crying, curled in a ball, shaking. "Can I touch you?" He nodded and I tried to calm him down.

<Romans POV>

Those two guys holding hands were adorable, and I couldn't help but tell Logan.

After a while, they left and Logan asked "Roman, if you do not mind, I suggest we go back to our room and discuss how you are feeling." I nodded and said, "Okay! That's fine... i guess."
