Chapter 8: Sadness & Cookies
Patton was baking cookies. He was stirring the batter and was having a hard time. Logan walked into the room.
"Need help?" Logan asked Patton.
"N-No, I got this..." Patton tried to stir again, but Logan took the bowl from him. "H-Hey!"
"You obviously need help stirring it, let me help you." Logan started stirring it with ease. Patton looked at Logan and sighed. He went over to the table and sat down. Logan frowned and placed the bowl down. He sat down next to Patton. He gently grabbed Patton's hand and kissed the back of it. "What's wrong, love?"
"I just feel weak and pathetic and I can't help it..." Patton felt tears welling up in his eyes as his voice wavered. "I feel like everything I do is wrong."
"Patton, everything you do is your own way of doing things. You make all of us happy and yet we never return the favor... this time I want to return the favor by helping you and making you happy." Logan said. Patton felt the tears streaming down his face. His lips quivered as he smiled a bit.
"You're the best boyfriend ever..." Patton leaned over and hugged Logan. Logan returned it happily.
"Wath Dada thad?" A tiny voice asked. Logan and Patton looked down at the baby Virgil on the ground. Patton picked Virgil up.
"Not anymore." Patton hugged Virgil tightly. "I love you, my dark strange son..."
"I wuv you too, Dada." Virgil's voice was muffled in Patton's shirt as Patton was still hugging him.
"I should continue to bake the cookies," Logan said and stood up.
~~~~~
The oven beeped and Logan took the tray of cookies out of the oven with an oven mitt. He set it down and Patton walked over. He hugged Logan.
"Thank you so much, Logie," Patton said.
"You're welcome." Logan hugged back.
"Cookies?" Virgil asked. He was sitting in his high chair. Patton got a paper towel and placed a cookie on it. He placed it in front of Virgil.
"Patton, you can't give a baby a cookie..." Logan said.
"Why not? It won't hurt him." Patton said.
"Too much sugar will make him go crazy." Logan picked up the cookie.
"You're no fun..." Patton muttered. Logan just smiled and kissed Patton's forehead.
"I know."
Virgil was just watching with confusion in his expression. Patton looked at him.
"Don't worry about him, Virgil. When you're back to your normal self, you can eat all the cookies you want." Patton smiled. Virgil's eyes shimmered with excitement.
