It was a normal day in the mindpalace. Everything was going well, and there had been no fights recently, so it was peaceful. Pickle Remus and Patton had always been close, so they were obviously the best of freinds. Even Virgil got a bit jealous since he liked being Patton's "Dark Strange Son", and hated the fact that Patton would always spend more time with Pickle Remus than him.

He didnt have a crush on him, unlike Pickle Remus. Pickle Remus was head over heels for Patton, and today he had decided he was going to tell him. He was on the couch when Patton had walked into the common room, with his signature smile. He sat next to Pickle Remus.

"Morning Pickle Remus!" He said in a cheery tone, looking down at the shorter.. pickle.

"Morning." Pickle Remus repiled, looking back up at the cheery man he had fallen in love with.

"How'd you sleep?" Patton asked, now having the tv remote controller in his hand.

"The same as always," Pickle Remus began, "Almost suffocating." He finished.

Patton giggled, "You're so silly, Pickle Remus!"

Pickle Remus laughed with him, hiding the fact that he wasn't kidding. He didn't want to tell Patton that because it would make him feel bad for laughing at it all the times Pickle Remus had said he almost did. He just kept it inside.

"Is Thomas awake yet?" Pickle Remus asked after he had finished laughing.

"Not yet. He only wakes up when all of us are awake." Patton explained, sounding somewhat like the Logical side that was still sleeping in his room.

"Oh, right." Pickle Remus had forgotten, for the 15th time. Pickles don't usually have good memory. "Sorry."

"Don't apologize kiddo! I don't mind explaining things if it is to you!" Patton said happily.

Pickle Remus felt his pickle heart flutter when he heard Patton say that. He felt his pickle face flush as well. "T-Thanks." He stuttered, his pickle heart picking up speed.

"No problem." He smiled at the pickle side.

"H-Hey, Patt?" The pickle asked, his breathing speeding up.

"Yeah?" He asked, smiling down at the shorter, pickle side.

"I-I..." He started, getting more and more anxious.

"Yeah, kiddo?" Patton sat there patiently, still smiling at his pickle friend.

"I like you, alot." Pickle Remus blurted out, shutting his eyes tight, covering his face with his stick like arms.

Patton smiled warmly at Pickle Remus, picking him up and kissing his cheek. "I like you too, Rem."

a/n: you better be proud of me.
