This was for a Secret Fanders gift exchange on Tumblr, but here we go! Merry Christmas! 

-Slight Romality-

---

The four Sanders sides all gathered on the couch in the common room, enjoying each others company while watching the Nightmare Before Christmas, they all had a vote on which movies they should watch for this years holiday marathon but Virgil's choice was first next was Logan's which he choose Elf, Patton picked Arthur Christmas and Roman had to choose between A Christmas Prince and How The Grinch Stole Christmas, they all agreed to watch both and so the movie night began.

Virgil was sitting close to the edge of the couch, he did wanted to sit on the ground but Patton refused, reassuring that there was plenty of space for him, and he couldn't bring himself to argue with Patton so he tried to just make himself comfortable. Waiting for everyone to set up he was just checking Tumblr.

Logan sat in the middle of Patton and Virgil, leaving enough room so he himself wouldn't get uncomfortable, he may have acted a bit mean when they invited him to join tonight but secretly he enjoyed feeling a bit of completion, and the others might've also noticed it so they all didn't mind when Logan acted a bit heartless before. A dark grey warm cozy and feathery blanket covered his cross legs as he was flipping through Netflix to find the movies they were going to watch.

Patton was going to his room to find more pillows and blankets, he was wearing his oversized baby blue holiday sweater but this one had a cat tail which he thought was so cute.

Roman was serving bowls of popcorn so every two sides had a bowl of light and fluffy buttered snacks for the night, he was going to share with Patton so which means the Left brained pair had to share.

The first movie had pasted and Virgil was almost falling asleep so without anyone knowing, Logan scooted closer to him, letting his tired friend rest on his shoulder, this took a lot of effort for him to do but soon after they were both adapted to the new comfort of each other.

During the second movie, Patton somehow screamed in the middle of watching Elf waking to poor darkly dressed side up, and once he's up, he's up. Patton did apologize soon afterward but neither did Patton or Roman noticed how close Logan was to Virgil physically.

As Logan was reaching for a piece of lightly salted and buttered popcorn Virgil was also, without realizing Virgil accidentally grabbed Logan's hand instead of a handful of popcorn, He pulled his hand back and dumbly apologized, a slight tint of blush was on both the males' cheeks each feeling a burning sensation on the tip of their ears. Acting like nothing just happened they continued watching the movie in a more awkward tension between them.

The third movie was just starting when Patton asked to pause it for a quick washroom break, they all took a break from watching the screen and refilled the bowls but this time adding some chips.

Once they were all ready again the movie started playing and Logan wasn't that interested in it so he was mostly glancing around at the other sides and the room noticing things that he didn't even know was there before.

Virgil noticed this but decided to stay quiet for now. The movie pasted and the next one starting to play.

 Logan glanced over to his left to see Roman and Patton almost clung to each other, he was trying to figure out if they were together romanticly or as extremely strong best friends. Whatever they were it was still feelings which he made clear isn't his strongest point, but that doesn't mean he was as cold as ice as most people might think.

The closed window showed that outside it was almost a blizzard with how much the wind is blowing and the sound of the big breeze followed by the sight of top layers of light snow traveling where the wind was taking it.

Logan flinched when he felt some pressure on his right, turning his head slowly, Virgil was leaning against him, he could've sworn he heard a muffled chuckle from Virgil's' lips. He calmed himself and just continued watching the rest of the show with Virgil on his side.

The final movie before everyone passes out from exhaustion started to play, like with the other movies Roman was singing along, his voice showed so much passion for his talented singing, Patton was smiling at how proud he was, Logan didn't react much, while Virgil was laughing mostly at the message of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and the remarks Roman keeps giving him.

Logan and Patton were watching the conversation between the two more than the actual movie when they all realized the credits were already rolling by the two stopped and sat back down on the couch.

"That was the last movie kiddos" Patton chuckled as Logan turned the screen off.

"What's next?" Roman asked, bundling himself back up in his warm fluffy and shiny rose gold blanket,

"Do you want to do the gift exchange now?" "Secret Santa?" "Yeah" "Sure!" They all got up from the couch but they were all still wrapped in the warmth of their own blankets.

Roman summoned his gift which was a rectangle shape wrapped in candy cane decorated paper and a blue bow on the corner. Logan had summoned something small wrapped in purple shiny paper, Patton had a red gift bag with some white tissue paper over flooding the top, finally, Virgil had something behind his back hidden.

"Now, Virgil, I had you so I gave you a gift card for some audio books that you can use to listen to when you are in a troubling situation" Logan passed the wrapped card to the male, their hands touched while passing and they both turned away from each other showing a slight tint of blush.

"Uh, Thanks, that's cool, I guess" They all knew Virgil was extremely happy really.

Roman held out his wrapped up box, "Logan! I had you" "-Uh that's not how that works-" "So what I got you was a 400 paged screenplay, writing by me, about you going off with Sherlock Holme solving his hardest case yet!" Being honestly surprised that Roman would do such a thing for him, he was intrigued.

Patton smiled at how well his family was bonding, even if he had no idea what they were talking about, but he did become confused when Logan was expressing at how much Watson wasn't 'good enough' for Sherlock, this did break his heart a bit but as usual, he hid it. It was his turn now.

"Roman! I got you so I made you pasta!" He shoved the gift bag to him, noticing how disappointed Roman's face was, he cleared it up saying that it was made with love, and to add in a joke which he thought was going to make all of them laugh he added in "With humans!" none of them laughed.

"Oh, Aw Thanks, Patton, um, This is lovely!" Roman smiled as he started eating the pasta, almost choking on it.

"Yay!" Patton smiled, "So this means Virgil got me!"

"Uh, yeah, but now I look at your gifts mine is just a shame" Virgil looked over to the wonderful gifts and fumbled with his sweater sleeve.

"Aww! Don't say that whatever you got me I still love! And you know that!"

"Um, ok well, I uh- I got you a card, it's not much sorry, but yeah, -um here" Virgil awkwardly threw the paper.

On the inside, Patton was crying at how Virgil was apologizing thinking that he didn't give him enough.

The card turned out to be a misleading card which he laughed at and started to hug attack Virgil, "Awww! Thank you so much kiddo!" "Um, You're welcome?"

"So, What now?" Roman asked, closing the lid on the container of uneaten pasta.

"Be right back, I am going to take a breather"

"Oh, ok Logan sure" Logan walked out the door with his jacket and boots in hand, quickly putting them on he started walking to wherever his feet took him.

Patton saw the tension between Virgil and Logan so he wanted to make the two bond more.

"Hey, Virge, can I speak privately with Patton please?" He heard Roman whisper to him behind him,

"Uh, sure?" He started to walk to the stairs but Roman redirected him outside, getting the message Virgil mumbled something to Roman making the prince blush and kick him out of the house.

Tilting his head, Patton was confused, Roman saw the confusion and decided to question him, "You did want them to bond more didn't you?"

"How did?" "We are part of the same mind Patton, you do keep forgetting that," Roman smirked,

"Oh- Um well wanna bake with me?" Patton asked getting out his baking utensils, "Do I have a choice?" Roman laughed "Nope!" They both agreed to start baking cookie-brownies.

Meanwhile, in the cold Logan found himself at the nearby park and he decided to sit down on the snow covered bench, dusting the snow off first of course.

Virgil found him and caught up, panting, "Hey, Logan-" Catching his breath he asked to sit down next to him sheepishly.

"Uh, Sure, what brings you here?" "Got- Kicked out of the house, by Roman" Virgil coughed, 

"Elaborate?" "Well, Roman wanted to talk with Patton privately so he kicked me out" The two laughed and just watched as the snow blew past them, the cold air biting at their faces. That soon disappeared when Virgil had the slight courage to shuffle closer to Logan, their shoulders touching again, this was the closest he was willing to go before he backs out, the warm blush both warmed each other as they stayed like that for what seemed like hours.

They soon both stood up at the same time and started walking slowly back home, in a silence that was both a bit awkward but comforting at the same moment.

Virgil watched as the multiple clouds of his warm breath floated away in the cold east winds. Logan was listening to the satisfying crunch the snow makes when his boots impact it. overall a pleasant walk home for the both of them.

Logan knocked on the door waiting for either Patton or Roman to open up, footsteps could be heard and the door opened to see a Roman covered in white powder, "Oh, hi!"

"Uh, Roman? What?" Virgil asked pointing to the white powder, Roman turned his head back and yelled "TEEL!" Logan and Virgil were still very confused. 

"Oh, yeah you can come in" Roman moved out of the way and disappeared somewhere, the two took off their jackets and boots and started walking to where a slight giggle was, 

"FIRE!"

The two suddenly got attacked by the white fluffy powder, Logan coughed, luckily his glasses blocked out most of the powder from his eyes,

"Um?" "Oh yeah, don't worry it's just flour!" Patton laughed as he his behind the kitchen island blocking the cloud of flour that was just about to hit him.

"Is this suppose to be a snow-Flour fight?" Virgil asked but then suddenly got attacked behind him by Roman, the light fluff going down his back "Yep! And I'm winning!"

"Oh, you're on!" Virgil grabbed some powder at threw it at Roman, Ducking down to where Logan was, "Teams?" Logan whispered which Virge replied with a nod.

Later after the mind palace being coated in white flour, they all declared that no one won.

Everyone cleaned themselves up, it was easy since they are able to shapeshift, and Roman with a clap of his hands his was able to restore the mind palace to a clean state.

"That was awesome!" Roman laughed as he collapsed next to Patton on the couch.

"I agree," Logan and Virgil said in sync also collapsing on the couch next to each other.

Afterwards, all it took was one final movie of The Night Before for everyone to fall asleep on the big couch, safely and happily.

That was the night of the best Christmas in the Sanders Mind Palace, with many more opportunity to come...
