Virgil's p.o.v: 

When I woke up I got up and went to look for Patton. It's weird. I was thinking when I woke up, whenever Patton hadn't been touched for a reason or another- He seemed to get sick- I remember the first time- barely. Thomas was about 18 and all main sides were called to his room to find a way to help him- Janus and Remus somehow helped him that night and he was back to normal. since then whenever Patton got that sick they were called to help. but they never told anyone how or why or anything- then again we never asked- Now that I thought of it- the last time he got anywhere close to that sick- was a few weeks after I revealed my name. Patton went through a small bump where he locked himself away in his room for a few days. Logan and Roman didn't notice but I did that he was sickish like- But after a night of movies and cuddles and Patton was ok- like it was nothing. 

I get to Patton's room and go to knock when I realize- It was barely open- 

"Pat- I'm coming in-," I say I go in and see no sign of pat, no sign of a struggle- the only out of place thing I noticed was how his mirrors were turned around except for one and a few other out of place things- I go and look around the house for Patton. After about an hour of looking I go look at the Darkside place. I saw Janus making eggs Benedict. 

" Ah- hello Virgil. wanna join us?"

"you know I actually love your eggs Benedict but I'm kinda looking for"

"Patton?"

"ya-"

"He is asleep rn- Me and Remus invited him for a movie sleep-over the other day and we decided to kinda keep/ let him stay over here for now? Don't worry- we didn't kidnap him and he is safe-" Janus said I took a moment-

"Why? not saying that Patton doesn't deserve it or anything- but you never really helped the lights except for the extreme sickness- especially that one Pat gets that you two seem to always instantly cure- you two aren't feeding him something that will bring him under your control- for something-?" I said. 

" Oh don't worry- we aren't- actually that sickness Patton got- did you realize a pattern with it?"

"It always happened after a while pat wasn't touched with hugs or anything- oh- he gets touch starved- doesn't he?"

"Yes- don't worry- He wasn't severely touch starved when we invited him."

" Does-"

" From what we gathered- Roman and Logan don't know about this touch starvation. Patton didn't even know about it till last night." Janus said.

" Now that you know where Patton is- wanna join us?"

" Sure-" I said I pulled out my phone and texted roman

[ Virgilious: Hey just so you know I won't be there for breakfast.]

Patton and Remus soon came out and the next thing I knew I was tackle hugged by the smol boio of morality. I hugged back and we soon go and sit down with Remus and Janus. We all eat and chatted and I kept my mind open- Patton was here and I noticed Janus acting like he wanted to tell me something. I remembered the secret code we came up with just in case.

" oh, Virgil! do you remember that bad salad?" Remus asked. my eyes widened a bit

Bad Salad = Bad Sides

"I- ya- really bad salad-" I said conveying I got it.

" We think there's a bad salad ghosting here,,," Janus said.

Ghosting = hidden but here

" Really-? why was the salad bad?" Patton asked.

" oh we believe it was left out after being used for a pasta side dish-" Janus said. I translated what he said to basically the bad sides are back and are going to go after pat. Another reason they are keeping a close eye on him.

" Yep- we domped it like Remus says sometimes. It's fun to use nonlogical words actually- Sa ya- that what happened-" I said. I notice both Remus and Janus nod a bit at my secret question.

" It would be best to spray with some air stuff though-"

"yep- anyways- I have to go before logan and roman notice me gone and gets worried- also Pat, Logan and roman is a bit worried but I think its best for them to come to look- so I won't say anything about this-" I say getting up. pat nods a bit and we said our goodbyes. I go and walk back to my room and sit with the door open and I just scrolled through my phone. 

????'s p.o.v:

God, this was taking forever! I mean like really! it didn't help that I keep having to fuck myself to keep from fucking the others till we get him. C tells me that when we get him I can be the first to try and break him. those good sides will regret ever banishing us. once we get done with making sure he was broken.

"so, you plan on fucking him?" C asked as we waited for I and R to get back with the food. I smirked,

" You don't even know-"

"need any controlled help?"

" You mean?"

" Yep."

" Hell yes."

Roman's p.o.v:

I sighed after seeing Virgil's text. why wasn't he going to be at breakfast? Maybe it's because of Janus and Remus- Maybe they were holding Patton hostage or controlling pat and Virgil is just trying to keep him safe? but if that was the case- They would be as bad as the bad sides. and last time I checked They hated those sides. I sighed a bit and went down to see Logan cooking breakfast.

" greetings Logan."

"salutations roman. breakfast is almost done- can you go get Virgil and Pat?"

" Virgil won't be here and Patton isn't here either-" I said.

" OH?"

" Ya ve texted me saying he won't be here and Patton's room is wide open and no sign of him-"

"Wierd- well, I guess we will just have leftovers of breakfast then-" Logan said. I nodded and we soon ate. we also chatted a bit and a few different things come into convocation. before.

" Roman- have you notice that whenever pat doesn't receive any form of touch, he gets sick?" Logan asked. I nodded.

" Ya, why?"

" Well I have been researching some stuff and I came across this one thing talking about touch starvation. I'm not exactly sure but- I do plan to look for pat to see if he knows about it and if I cant find him I will go to Janus and Remus since they are the ones we mostly call when he does get that sick. I wanna make sure that this whole- avoiding him might send him into a death scenario-" Logan said. We call them death scenarios mainly because we don't actually die- we just disappear and regenerate I guess you could say. ( this is actually inspired by one or two different stories on archive- so, ya))

" Wait you mean- we could have been slowly killing Patton unknowingly if he has touch starvation?" I asked.

" Yes dear-" Logan said I blushed a bit the remembered we were alone so, ya. we are in a secret relationship and we have openly talked to Virgil about it. He recently came to us and kinda spilled that he liked us both and we told him that he could join us and that we also really like him back. We haven't gotten an answer from him yet- was continue to chat before going to do our own things. All though I don't know if it's just me or if there is a weird, off feeling- I sigh and just write. Maybe it's just my imagination- I guess ill just find out later-
