Platonic Royality - Tumblr Posts

Sorry sorry I hate to tread on your amazing idea, but I got inspired and wanted to write something for it! :D

“Pat?” Virgil’s voice was soft, his eyes wide and confused. Patton could feel himself ripping in two even as he looked at the other side, too ashamed of his past actions to respond. Virgil glanced down to the floor. He bit his lip.

“Patton?” Now Roman spoke, and unlike Virgil, his voice was guarded, his tone sharp. “What did you just say?” The creative side looked down on the man he thought was his friend, and Patton could feel tears prick in the corners of his eyes.

“I didn’t mean to,” he whispered. “I would never mean to hurt you.” Patton wouldn’t make eye contact with either of them, shakily fiddiling with his glasses.

“I don’t understand why you all are are so confused,” Logan said, though even his voice carried a twinge or sadness in it. “He already told us that he was the one to push the others away.” Logan paused, closing his eyes for only a moment before regaining his composure. “Deciet, Remus, and... Virgil.”

Virgil wouldn’t look up from the ground, now chewing nervously on his fingernail.

“Kiddo?” Patton asked desperately, voice cracking with emotion and barely more than a whisper. “I didn’t mean to. You believe me, right? We’re the bestest most dynamicest duo, right?”

Virgil still wouldn’t look at him. When he finally spoke once more, his voice was charged with something akin to wistfulness. “When Thomas was a teenager, I really started to hold some sway over his actions, maybe moreso than any of you. It was a huge responsibility, and I tried to manage it accordingly. At the time, I felt as though I was doing what was best for Thomas, keeping him safe. And everyone hated me for it.” Virgil’s tone had turned sour. “I never understood that part. I was just trying to help, just doing what I was supposed to do. And everyone pushed me away for it. So I pushed back. I was confused as to why anyone would try to silence me, and I grew bitter. I struggled so hard to get out of that endless loop of hatred and loathing.” Virgil let out a humorless laugh. “It’s good to know that the ones who pushed me away are, deep down, no better than me.”

Patton let out a little, choked sounding sob.

Virgil looked up then, making direct eye contact with Patton. “Trying to force my way back to you was the worst decision I’ve ever made.” Virgil bit his lip again, pain clear on his face.

Patton inhaled, his whole body shuttering, the tears in his eyes threatening to overflow. He couldn’t even bring himself to call out for Virgil one last time.

“Virgil, wait-“ Logan tried, and then Virgil was gone. He didn’t sink out, he was just gone. And Patton could feel the hole in his heart growing.

Roman spoke up then. “He’s right, you know.”

Patton whirled around to face the creative side.

“When Thomas was young, no older than five or six, Remus was always there with me. When I was sad, he would comfort me. When he was in trouble, I would cover for him. We were inseparable.” It was Roman’s turn to laugh, though it came out more a mockery of a laugh than anything else. “Well... we were inseparable. Clearly we were quite separable by the time you started to dictate who was or wasn’t good for Thomas.” Roman shook his head. “You’re no better than the monsters you made them out to be. I’m done with this conversation.”

Very slowly, Roman sunk down, clearly repressed tears beginning to fall.

And Patton stood there, torn almost to shreds, tears falling freely down his face. Very slowly, he turned to face Logan, who remained emotionless. “Lo?” He whispered.

“Ah, Patton.” Logan was inspecting a speck of dust on his shirt. “I- I think I should just leave right now. It would be the... ah, logical thing to do.”

Patton nodded, more to himself than Logan, as Logan hastily sank out of the room. As soon as he was gone, Patton collapsed to the ground. Tears dripped from his cheeks to the floor. His shaky breathing seemed to fill the room, a terrifying crescendo of all of his wrongdoings.

And so Patton sat there, and he sobbed.

Please don’t leave me.

I just wanted what was best for Thomas.

More tears hit the floor. Drip, drop. Drip, drop.

just imagine it comes out that Patton (even if unintentional) was responsible for separating the dark and light sides. Like IMAGINE the angst especially with Virgil and Patton’s relationship and then Remus and Roman probably missing so much time together

So like how he conjured puppies for Patton, Roman starts conjuring other cute and fluffy creatures for him sometimes like bunnies and hamsters. But one day he sees Patton staring sadly at pictures of cats and is confused about it at first but then remembers that poor Pat has cat allergies. So he starts thinking up a solution because the creative side isn’t about to let a friend down and then Eureka! He finds the perfect compromise. So he excitedly bounces into the living room where Patton’s knitting or something and is all. “Pat! Pattycake! Pat a Pat Patt! I have a marvelous surprise for you!” 

“Gasp! I love surprises! Well, happy surprises...” And Roman just conjures either a Cornish Rex or a Devon Rex(allergy free cat breeds) and Patton just melts. “Awww, they look like an adorable little alien!”. And he then proceeds to carry that precious little one around in his hoodie all day.

So then he makes a habit of conjuring one for Pat whenever he’s wearing his hoodie regularly instead of on his shoulders. Just wills a little Rex into existence in his pocket like the charitable angel he is. But one day Pat’s walking around with a Rex and Roman in tow when Deceit pops in unexpectedly. At first he doesn't seem to notice them, probably searching for something he misplaced earlier, but then he spots something wiggling in Patton’ s stomach and he’s all ???What’s going on??? So he strides over and elegantly pokes him in the tummy. The Rex’s head pops up out of the pocket to see what’s disturbing it’s comfy Patton Time. 

“Patton, why do you not have what is definitely not a horrendous hobgoblin in your jacket?”

“Because he’s cute!!! And he’s a cat. I like cats!”

Which prompts Roman to get all smirky. “I could conjure up a lil pal for you too, Deci Quixote.”

“I am absolutely not interested!” He snaps before twirling his cape around and heading back to his room.

“Awww, too bad....Wait! Does that mean he does want one???”

“I don’t know, pops...What animal would he even want? A snake? Isn’t that a bit too obvious??”

“I don’t know either kiddo, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out! You always do.”

So then Roman spends the next several days trying to think of something to conjure up for Deceit until he remembers his two headed snake symbol and Eureka Again! And the next time he conjures a Rex for Patton he calls out for Deceit, who appears begrudgingly wondering who’s daring enough to disturb him. “Deceit! Glad you could make it. I have something for you as well.”

And Deceit’s just stunned. “What? Why? * clears throat * I mean, not like I’m particularly interested, or anything of the sort~...” 

But Roman just chuckles and dramatically pulls a cat from behind his back. “Here!”

“It’s...just another cat...I mean! Definitely not disappointing at all~...”

“Nuh uh uh, look closer!~” And he presents the cat’s feet which little toe beans he presses to prove his point. And it’s actually a polydactyl cat! (Cat’s with extra toes.) This time it’s Deceit’s turn to melt, who scoops up the little guy to fawn over him and appreciatively rub his cute little paws. Until he remembers where he exactly he is, of course, and proceeds to sputter a few cryptic one liners in a rather flustered manner before kidnapping the cat into his room.

“There’s been a catnapping!” Chuckles out a pleased Patton. 

Meanwhile, Roman is absolutely reeling. Oh no he’s cute what the flippity flap hippining hap. 

So then he starts conjuring different critters with little birth defects just to get reactions out of Deceit until Deceit has a whole collection of them in his room. And he refuses to let Roman unconjure them. Not that Roman minds all that much.

How the Sides React to Patton Blowing Them a Kiss:

Logan: * catches it on pure reflex but then stares at it confusedly *

Virgil: * catches it and puts it on his cheek * Thanks Pat, I needed that.

Roman: * catches it, puts it on his hand, then blows one back * Same to you, fair Patton!

Deceit: * catches it then drops it to the floor * Yes, thank you.

Remus: * catches it and eats it * Thankies and samesies! * rips off his lips and throws them at him *
