Thanks once again to Snekes_and_birbs for requesting! They are actually amazing!

Sorry this took me so long, I have been so busy with school and everything else I barely had time to even think.

TW: Self deprecating words/thoughts, feeling worthless, crying, kinda hurting oneself, but also not really idk (he bangs his head on his desk, idk if that counts or not but figured I should put it up just in case)

Roman stared at the crumpled papers around him, tears stinging his eyes. He banged his head on his desk, muttering to himself.

"Stupid."

Thud

"Useless."

Thud

"Worthless."

He had been trying all day to come up with a single good idea for the next video and everything he came up with was complete and utter trash! He literally represented Thomas's creativity! If he couldn't come up with a basic idea, then what was the gosh-darn-ding-dang point?!

He hunched over his desk, his forehead pressed to the blank papers that were scattered about. A few stray tears escaped his eyes, before the flood gates opened up, and his body shook with silent sobs. It was just a matter of time before everyone else realized how much of a waste of space he was and kicked him out of their lives.

Patton had just laid down to go to bed for the night when he jerked back up into a sitting position. He didn't know what it was, but he knew something was wrong. Call it his Dad Instincts™. He quickly stood and left his room, crossing the hall and easing open the door to Virgil's room. Glancing in, he saw Virgil and Logan curled up in each other's arms snoring softly. Smiling, he quietly shut the door, making sure not to wake up the sleeping traits.

He then walked to Roman's door, his smile falling when he heard a small sob coming from inside. Patton swung the door open, and rushed to Roman.

"Hey Ro, it's ok. Focus on me," Patton said, tilting Romans head up to look at him and brushing away the tears. "Let's go lay down," Patton says trying to pull Roman from the seat.

"I can't!" Roman sobbed, pulling away and going back to his papers. "I have to finish this! I have to prove to everyone, to you, that I'm not useless!"

"Hey, you are not useless! You could never be even remotely useless! You are amazing, and hardworking and dedicated and so much more! Now let's go to bed, it's late and you need some rest." Patton said pulling the creative trait into his arms and softly brushing his fingers through Roman's hair. Roman still looked reluctant, but after a moment he stood up, staying firmly in Patton's embrace. The two moved to the bed, Patton making sure Roman was comfortable.

"Do you want me to leave now?" Patton asked pulling away from Roman slightly.

"S-stay!" Roman whimpered. "I mean, only if you want to."

"Of course baby," Patton replied softly. He scooted back to Roman and pulled him close. Roman returned the embrace, holding onto Patton like a lifeline, and laying his head on his chest. Patton went back to brushing his fingers through Roman's hair and singing softly. Roman let out a small sigh and closed his eyes, snuggling closer to the other man.

"I love you Ro," Patton whispered pressing a kiss to Roman's head.

"I love you too," Roman mumbled back, drifting off to sleep.

I'm actually kinda proud of this one! Which rarely happens so this is a pleasant surprise.

Well I hope y'all liked this! Sorry again it took as long as it did to come out, but thanks for your patience!

Please Request!

Peace Out!
