Patton:

I wake up confused, it takes me a moment to remember what happened.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty."

I turn my head to look up at Dee, "Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"I definitely didn't try to make you comfortable enough to get some rest."

"Dee, I told you to stop doing that." I rub my eyes.

"And I definitely haven't told you to get more sleep."

I groan, "I'm getting enough sleep."

"Of course you are," he rolls his eyes, "that's why you fall asleep the minute you get too comfortable."

     I glare at him, "There's no need to pop an attitude."

     He pulls me against him tightly, "I'm sorry, Patton. I'm definitely not worried about you at all."

     "You have nothing to worry about, I'm fine."

     He looks at me doubtfully, "I believe you."

     I stare at him, unsure if he's lying or not, I pull my phone out and check the time, half past noon.

     "Oh I should go check on Logan!" I stand up.

     "Remus has him taken care of, Patton. I don't think there's anything more you can do."

"I'm just gonna check on them," I head upstairs.

I knock on Logan's door softly, a few seconds later Remus opens the door.

"What is it?" he asks, hand on his hip.

"I just wanted to check on Logan, is he doing any better?"

"He's asleep. He threw up, but I think he's okay now."

"He threw up?! Oh geez, did he make it to the bathroom?"

"Yeah, I've got everything handled, he's resting now."

"You got him to sleep?" I ask surprised.

"Yeah, he calmed down after he realized his well-being wasn't up for debate."

"Oh, good. Do you need anything?"

"I'm kinda hungry?" He says, "Logan uses spray deodorant so that's out. Is there anything I could eat? I'm afraid to leave him alone."

"Yeah, I can make you some lunch!" I say happy to have something useful to do, "any requests?"

     He's quiet for a moment, "I'll eat anything, thanks though."

     "It's no problem," I beam at him, before heading back downstairs.

"Are they alright?" Dee asks as I come outside.
