There was a side to Deceit that none of the others knew about.

The side that was a lot more... aggressive and... violent.

Sure, he can dress up and pretend to be someone else and sure, he can lie to no end, but there's something else that he had the ability to do that he hadn't told anyone about.

Mind control.

He hadn't really deemed any moment necessary to use it, though he could just use it for fun and for his own pleasure. But, deep down inside he knew he wanted to wait until there was an actual, appropriate, amazing time to do it.

And now that Logan and Patton are in a new and fresh romantic relationship, he knew that now, now was the perfect time to try it out.

Patton and Logan were currently watching a cheesy horror movie filled with clichés and boring, overused jumpscares. None the less, Patton was still frightened by it and Logan didn't hesitate to let Patton cuddle up to him as close as he physically could be, with Logan wrapping his arms around his boyfriend comfortingly. It was perfect for them.

Around halfway through the movie, Patton suddenly was struck with a nauseating headache that made his head spin and caused him to feel extremely dizzy, and suddenly he couldn't even really see anything. He couldn't even speak without the fear of vomiting all over Logan.

So, he waited for a few moments until he knew that he could actually stand without falling, and when we was sure that he could, he carefully stood up and turned to Logan.

"Hey, Lo.. I'm.. I have a really, really bad headache so..," He paused, covering up his mouth, again to ensure that he doesn't throw up the cookies that he had eaten prior to watching the movie. "I'm gonna go get some water, I'll be right back."

"Okay." Logan replied with a gentle nod, picking up the remote to pause the movie. Suddenly, after Logan had said that, Patton felt a surge of anger and frustration course through him. How dare Logan just say "okay" and not be the slightest bit concerned about Patton?! Patton tried to fight off this anger, until—

"Really? Just 'okay'?! You're not even the slightest bit concerned about me?!" His voice was lined with venom as he spoke; the words were being spat off of his tongue like freely flowing water. "The least you could've done is asked me if I was alright, or if I need some.. I dunno.... company? I mean, who knows what could happen to me? I could pass out and hit my head or something! Point is, you don't know how bad the headache is!! And you just had to go and be an ass and not even think twice about me?!" Patton narrowed his eyes, which had seemed to completely change. These weren't Patton's eyes; Patton's eyes were so filled with life and joy. These eyes were filled with fire and rage.

Logan sat in shock, staring at his boyfriend with wide eyes and mouth slightly agape. Well, maybe boyfriend was a stretch at the moment. This wasn't his boyfriend, it couldn't be.

Logan swallowed thickly and hesitantly placed the remote beside him on the arm of the couch, standing up on shaky legs. "Patton?" He said softly, not daring to move closer to said person. "I... I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to acknowledge that you were going somewhere. I thought that if it was something serious, you would tell me that instead of just simply fetching some water." He explained nervously and hesitantly, not wanting to piss off whatever creature had possessed Patton even more.

Patton's face turned from frustrated, to one that seemed like it was questioning the nerd. "Oh, Logan, for such a large head you'd think that you would know better than to just act like you don't care about anyone."

"Excuse me?!" Logan retorted. "Are you accusing me of 'not caring about you'?" Logan asked with fury in his voice. He completely forgot about the assumption that this wasn't Patton, rather it was some entity controlling him. He was furious.

"That's exactly what I'm doing, bitch." A sly smile appeared on Patton's features. It was unusual to hear Patton swear, but when he did, everyone knew that he was getting serious. In other words, shit was about to go down.

Logan gasped softly. "Why are you—"

He was suddenly interrupted by Patton taking a confident step forwards, and harshly grabbing onto Logan's upper arm and digging his blunt nails into the skin, most likely drawing blood.

Logan choked back a cry of pain, while also attempting to find any words to quip back at the moral facet. He squirmed in Patton's grip trying to get free, but the movement was only causing Patton's nails to scrape across his skin more, and made Patton grip even tighter onto his boyfriend. Tears started to swell up in the corners of Logan's eyes, both from the pain and the words that Patton was venomously spitting at him.

"Got nothing to say, nerdy boy? You can't find anything to say in that so-called big brain of yours?" Patton teased cruelly. "I thought that you were supposed to be smart, no? Or are you just secretly a little emotional bitch, huh? Underneath that tough exterior, you're just a poor, helpless man who can't defend himself? Such a shame." The moral trait slowly leaned in closer to Logan's face as he spoke in an attempt to intimidate him.

Logan softly closed his eyes and took one big, deep breath, before regaining his senses and staring Patton straight in the eyes.

"Excuse my language, but what the FUCK is wrong with you, Patton?"

Patton had the audacity to act surprised at Logan's words. "What the fuck is wrong with me? You, the person acting like you don't care about me and my well-being, asking what the fuck is wrong with me? You're insane, Logan. You're mentally unstable. I can't believe I ever agreed to date you." A smirk graced Patton's lips yet so ungraciously.

"Patton!" Logan screamed, yanking his arm out of Patton's grasp. While the sudden motion did successfully manage to free Logan of Patton's grip, it caused his nails to agonizingly rip across the skin on Logan's arm, causing it to bleed out at an alarming rate. The nerd hissed at the pain the surged through him and quickly grasped onto the injured arm with his opposite hand.

"What? Are you gonna say something other than grab your arm like a little pussy?" Patton quipped.

"What the hell brought this on, Patton? I'm your boyfriend! Why are you suddenly abusing me? It's like you're possessed or something!" Logan choked out a sob at the end of his sentence, squeezing his injured arm's hand into a tight fist.

The childlike facet bared his teeth and let out a quiet growl, followed by a swift push to the hand that was gripped onto Logan's injured arm, which was once again replaced with his own hand. Patton slapped a hand onto the right side of Logan's face, causing Logan to hiss at the stinging sensation it inflicted. There wasn't anything else he could do, really. What else could he do?

"Ah, Patton! Stop!" Logan glared at the man in front of him with desperate, pleading eyes. Patton only darkly chuckled at Logan's attempts.

"Do you really think you're getting off the hook that easily?" The moral trait scrapes his nails down Logan's cheek. "Why don't you stop being such a wimp, hm? Why don't you at least try to defend yourself?" He evilly smirked, and Logan whimpered. He fucking whimpered.

Yet, Logan stayed quiet. Anything he said could upset Patton— no, this entity, even more.

"You know, if I ever died, it would be your fault, Lo."

Logan gasped softly.

"Some days I wish I chose a better boyfriend."

Tears started to swell up in Logan's eyes once again. The tears were burning the corners, caused by the physical and emotion pain that this creature had so violently delivered.

"Some days, you make me want to kill myse—"

Patton's sentence was cut off by Logan grabbing onto Patton's wrists that were almost attached to his body, ripping them off of him, and, (very guiltily, might I add), drove the heel of his foot into Patton's stomach, roughly pushing him away and off of him. Patton stumbled backwards and grabbed his stomach for a second, but managed to regain his balance quickly.

This made Patton the most furious he's ever been.

He glared at Logan with menacing eyes and growled angrily, to which Logan took a few steps back at.

Then, and only then, did Patton charge at him full force.

He ran at Logan and squeezed his hand into a tight fist, aggressively swinging it at Logan and bashing him right under his eye, breaking his glasses in the process.

Logan let out a scream of pain and covered up his damaged eye with the palm of his hand, taking a step backwards only to trip over the carpet and fall backwards onto his tailbone.

The other male didn't hesitate drop to the ground with Logan, swinging a leg over his hips and slamming his back to the ground with his hands pinned above his head.

"Now Logan, I'm gonna be honest with ya," Patton moved one of his hands to Logan's neck, almost choking the poor nerd, but making some bruises none the less. "I want you dead."

Logan couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't fight off the pain and sadness he was feeling because of Patton's rage.

He choked out a loud sob despite Patton's tight grip on his throat, and hot and salty tears began to cascade down his flushed cheeks, leaving thin stains along the way.

Patton tutted and shook his head at the man underneath him. "Such pity for himself. It's a shame that you're so weak."

"Patton..," Logan breathed out. "Please... stop... I don't know what possessed you to be like this but... I still love you, Patton. You know this. I wouldn't give you up for the world." He knew that his attempts were futile, but he still tried his damn best.

"Yeah? Well he doesn't love you."

He?

"Patton, why are you—"

Then, as if on cue, Patton hissed agonizingly and yelled out, presumably in pain, retreating his hands from his boyfriend and burying his head in Logan's neck, collapsing against the nerd and breathing heavily. Logan laid there, speechless and unmoving, trying to process what had just happened. All of the damage done to his body was stinging and aching to the point where he almost couldn't move, and it was all caused by the man that was now innocently lying on top of him, breathing heavily.

"P-Patton?" Logan spoke up after a few minutes of almost complete silence, lightly nudging the weight on top of him.

He heard Patton heavily sigh before he slowly lifted his head up, and staring Logan in the eye. This time around, Logan saw his boyfriend. Not some evil creature. This time, Patton's soft, innocent eyes were staring right back at him.

Then, Patton noticed the injuries that were plastered on Logan's body.

"Oh my god! Oh my god Logan, are you okay what happened?! Did I... no! I didn't do this... did I?!" Patton gasped and frantically ran his hands gently over Logan's body, assessing the wounds. He was scared himself. "Oh my god, Lo! Your glasses! A-and... your neck! Your arm! Your eye!!!" Patton spoke fast and panicked, softly running his thumb beneath Logan's eye where a large, dark bruise was forming.

"Patton, just calm down—"

"No, Logan! I was the cause of this!! I.. I'm so s-sorry!" He cried out, covering up his mouth when tears started to fall down his face.

"Patton, just wait, we can talk this out—"

"Why? There's no explanation, Logan! I'm a terrible person, and that's all there is to it!" Patton stood up quickly.

"Patton, I know that it wasn't you!" Logan spat out, but Patton shook his head. 

"It doesn't matter! You're hurt because of something that I did!"

And with that, Patton turned around and ran off to his and Logan's room, leaving Logan to ponder what the fuck had just happened, and how he was gonna talk this through with his boyfriend.

————————

This hurt to write.

I love Logan so writing this was a struggle, but I made my way through it and heck I think it turned out pretty well.

But hey, I had the idea and I didn't want to back out of it, so I said "fuck it" and wrote it anyways.

Fun fact: Some of the abusive lines that Patton had said near the end there are actual, or close to actual things that people have said to me.

Should I do a part two?

See all of you guys, gals and non-binary pals in the next one!
