Patton silently stares at his sleeping boyfriend relishing the peace around them, his face is soft and clear of any stress or worry, his arm is draped over Patton's waist and his breathing is slow and deep, he is at peace.

Patton holds back the urge to giggle at his cuteness, he took notice of how his fingers or nose would twitch every now and then and he would mumble words, and then there were times where he would just squeeze him as if reassuring himself that someone was there with him protecting him. Patton smiles and lied his head against his shoulder taking in every little detail of his sleeping face wanting so badly to kiss his parted lips, there they were plump and pink taunting him.

He huffs in annoyance and turned on his side facing away from Logan trying to ignore the voice in the back of his head yelling at him to just go for it, he grabs a pillow and squeezes it tight burying his face in the cushion trying to lose himself in sleep, he eventually feels drowsy and feels his eyelids droop, Logan unconsciously pulls Patton closer to him breathing warm breath on the back of his neck.

Patton shivers at the warm breath against his skin and almost let's out a small squeak, instead he smiles and finally drifts off to sleep.

It was later when he felt an uncomfortable squeeze, it was getting too hard to breathe and the grip on him was too tight. He opens his eyes realizing that it was Logan who was holding him tighter, he whimpers and hugs him tighter, Patton turns to face him with much effort feeling like a mouse wrapped around a snake and is surprised to see that Logan's eyes are shut tight, and his face is contorted in pain and fear.

Patton quickly runs his hand through his hair. “Logan? What's wrong? Are you okay?” He asks worriedly looking him over to see if he sustained any injuries, when he's sure that there is no physical injuries he hugs him back and strokes his hair even more trying everything he knew to calm him down. “Shh, it's okay.” He whispers to him.

He could feel Logan's shuddered breathing, his body trembling, his whimpers continue, and it just breaks his heart. “It's okay Logan, you're safe.” Patton places a kiss on the top of his head and gives him a light squeeze which calms the distressed trait down a bit, Patton let's out a shaky sigh of relief and continues to run his fingers through his hair whispering sweet and reassuring words to him.

After minutes of stroking, rubs, whispers, and soft kisses Logan is finally calm his grip loosens but Patton refuses to let him go fearing that if he let him go he would once again panic. He holds Logan closer and places various soft kisses around his face but he avoids his lips wanting to save it for when he wakes up.

So, instead he gets comfortable, pulls the comforter up to their chins, and snuggles closer to Logan before falling asleep.

~~~{time skip cause why not?}~~~

The next day Logan wakes up having no memory of last night, the only thing he remembers is plopping into the bed beside lying with Patton and falling asleep, Patton soon wakes up after him and the first thing he does is smile and kisses him placing his lips over his own nearly knocking the breath out of a startled Logan.

When he pulls away he cups Logan's face in his hands and presses their foreheads together. “I love you.” He lovingly whispers to him and Logan, who is still very disoriented, wraps his arms around him and gives him a small reluctant smile. “I love you too?” He says. “I didn't miss anything important did I?” He asks curiously.

Patton giggles and shakes his head. “No, I'm just very happy to see you.” He reassures and buries his face in the crook of his neck, Logan awkwardly pats his back and shakes his head giving a nervous chuckle. “I'm happy to see you as well Patton, is everything okay?” He frowns feeling worried, whenever Patton gets overly excited or happy it usually means that he's hiding something. Logan knows that Patton sometimes handles his problems facetiously.

He hopes Patton is okay, and almost as if to answer his question Patton grabs one of his hands and gives it a gentle squeeze. “Everything is fine, I promise love.” When he says that Logan is finally convinced and sighs in relief. Patton kisses him on the cheek and hugs him tight, he knows that he should tell him about last night, but he wants to keep it a secret, he wants Logan's vulnerable side to himself knowing that he was the only one there to witness it.

It may seem selfish, but Logan was also the only person to see Patton at his lowest, and now Patton is secretly happy knowing that he was able to calm him down in his time of need, Logan lies there with Patton on top of him but doesn't push him away or scold him. Instead he just wallows in the comfort of the silence and Patton's breathing, he doesn't know what happened but he's happy to see Patton look so happy.

And Patton is happy knowing that Logan isn't always strong and capable of handling himself, somewhere he just needs someone to hold him when he's afraid or can't sleep, and he just hopes he's that someone.
