Virgil: This is Gen Z.

Virgil: We speak memes like hieroglyphics.

Logan, letting 14-year-old Virgil into the house: Would you like to stay for dinner?

Patton, Logan's husband, from down the hall: Would you like to stay forever?!

Thomas, laying in bed on his phone, having intended to fall asleep three hours ago, looking to the spookiest corner of the room: Don't you have shit to do?

Virgil, watching him from the shadows as if that's just what people do: I could ask you the same question.

~~~

Logan: Do you take constructive criticism?

Roman, already crying: Yeah sure, what's up-

~~~

(A/N: You said I could shitpost angst so you guys had this coming, ANGST TIME!)

Patton, sitting in a cafe frowning with tear streaks on his face: [sighs heavily]

Virgil, the waiter with a concerned face: Are you alright, Sir?

Patton, looks up at him and fake smiles: No, but I will be...

Patton, tears welling up in his eyes as his thumb brushes against his wedding ring: Hopefully...

~~~

Roman, screaming at the top of his lungs: FUCK YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!

Logan: No you don't-

Roman: Yes I do! [Starting to cry] I f-fucking hate you so-so much! You don't care about me! You've never even said you loved me!

Logan, going over to Roman: Babe-

Roman: Don't "b-babe" me you piece of shit!

Logan, wrapping his arms around Roman's figure: Darling, I say I love you every day, but I show it in different ways. When I smile at you, when I call you a nickname, when I tell you "you did well", I say I love you. I'm truly sorry for not saying it sooner, Roman, I love you and only you.

Roman, crying harder: [sprouting appologies] I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry-

Logan, shushing him and rubbing his back: It's alright now Darling, I got you.

4-year-old Patton tiptoeing down the stairs: Mommy?

Logan, turning to look at Patton with a black eye a bloody nose and a bleeding lip: Patton...?

Patton: Mommy! [Runs up to Logan and hugs his leg] What happened Mommy?

Logan: [gets flashbacks of his now ex punching him in the face and smashing a bottle on his head after beating him]

Logan, smiling for Patton's sake: Nothing sweetheart, Mommy's okay, [sticking out his pinkie] Pinkie Promise.

Patton, wrapping his pinkie with Logan's: Pinkie Promise!

[Fastforward]

20-year-old Patton, staring at a picture of Logan while crying: Pinkie Promises were meant to be broken...

Patton, rocking baby Virgil in his arms: You are my sunshine~

Patton, tears cascading down his face as he holds Virgil in his arms: M-My only sunshine...

Patton: You make me happy!

Patton: When sk-skies are grey...

Virgil: [giggles]

Virgil: [smiles weakly]

Patton: You'll never know dear~

Patton, crying harder: H-How much I love you...

Patton: Please don't take... My sunshine...

Virgil: [eyes slowly close as he goes limp in Patton's arms]

Patton, hiccuping uncontrollably while sobbing: Away...

(A/N: I'm literally crying right now no joke, fUCK-)
