I got this idea legit just because I thought... Patton lies a lot...

I was excited so I started writing as soon as I got the idea.

I'm experimenting a bit with dialogue, let me know if this was good!

"I thought you were against lying?"

"Well... I... I am... When it's bad!"

"Isn't this a bad thing to lie about?"

"No! No it isn't... Because I'm not hurting anyone... I'm just... It'll make them feel better..."

"And when they find out?"

"T-They... They won't! I'm doing this for them! It's better.... Please..."

"Why exactly aren't you just being honest with them?"

"B-Because! They have their own things to worry about! Roman... He's not okay right now... Virgil's finally feeling better and I don't want him to slip back into feeling bad... And... Logan... He's... Better but I don't think he's really recovered from that stunt you pulled..."

"I had to say what I had too... And don't act like Virgil said the exact same thing..."

"Just! Please... I need to be there for them... I can't risk..... Breaking down.... I need to be strong for them for now..."

"And when the others find out I'm the one who helped you... I'll be accused of corrupting you..."

"Wait no-"

"and shunned away yet again."

"Please... Please... Just... I won't let that happen... I just need your help... Only until I'm actually feeling better...."

"Fine..."

Deceit sighed snapping his fingers, Patton's worried expression immediately switched to a fake smile... Or... What you would think was a genuine smile with how real it looked.

Patton dropped the smile and tried doing the same again, and it worked.

"Thank you... I promise... It'll only be for a bit, and... It won't come back on you..."

"Right.... Of course...."

"I promise."

"Promises never have any weight... Just go."

".... O-Okay.... Thank you... Again..."

Patton walked out of the dark traits room walked down to the living room, where he noticed the others on the couch keeping themselves occupied.

Logan was reading, Virgil was on his phone and Roman was summoning small objects from his kingdom, like his mini crown and a small staff.

Virgil looked up and over at Patton. "You good? You haven't really talked all day."

Patton grinned, the smile so fake, but to Virgil and the others it seemed genuine and sweet like normal.

"Yep! Just a 'lil tired as all!"
