Meeting the sides - Thomas & Peter & Roman x Virgil & Logan x Patton

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I suppose I will have to remind you quite frequently I do not know anything about emotions-" he cut himself off when he noticed Patton holding a finger to his lips, indicating for him to shut up. He did so.

Peter winked at the two sides, "stop arguing" he whispered, then fell back into place beside Thomas who was chuckling at his sides flustered but silent states.

"I think I should explain what they are" Thomas cleared his throat and pointed at Patton, "Patton is my morality, my knowledge of right and wrong, while also holding my emotions, sadness, happiness, excitement, joy, all of them!" Peter nodded to show he understood, leaning into Patton's embrace after the side opened his arms again. "Roman is my creativity and self-confidence. He helps me create ideas for my videos, songs, scripts, while also keeping my ego up - he is also my 'romantic side' I guess but he isn't much help" Roman gasped in offence, holding a hand over his heart.

"Awh, Ro, I'm sure you could woo anyone with your romance! Especially people called Virgil!"

That set the two off again in another flustered state. "Virgil, as you guessed, is my anxiety. My flight or fight reflexes. He makes sure I stay safe while also forcing me to stay home from parties" he ended a little solemnly. Virgil shrugged. "I'm sure he's doing his best" Peter sent him a smile and Virgil actually..smiled a little back.

"And Logan is my logic! My knowledge of everything I know. He encourages me to keep to a schedule and helps me to not forget important tasks. He also doesn't like emotions but I'm sure he made that clear"

Peter nodded, he did. "Love you, mom" he called, noticing Logan's conflict on his face. Does he like it or does he not? Peter knew he liked it and found his confusion amusing.

"There are more but I think these four will do for now" Thomas finished, and Peter smiled at them all. He didn't realise he'd be so lucky when he was adopted by Thomas.

A few weeks after meeting the sides, as promised, Peter hasn't told anybody, but has spent a lot of time with them. Only when they all appeared in the living room, of course. The only side he has been alone with was Patton when Thomas was cooking and the other sides were busy in his mind. They cuddled on the couch and watched television.

However, when Peter realised he could sink down with the sides and also appear in Thomas's mind, he knew he was definitely going to use this to his advantage to get closer with them all. After Thomas gave him permission, Patton and he disappeared into his mind. Peter doesn't think he'll ever get over the shock of it all.

"Where's Virgil?" Peter asked after letting go of Patton "he should be in his room! The door with the darkest coloured wood" Peter nodded and hurried up the staircase, walking down the everlasting hallway. The mind seemed to know where he wanted to go so basically led him to Virgil's room. He knew when to stop, so he did, and turned to his left, face to face with dark wood accented with purple.

Lifting his hand, he knocked on the wood. A little while later it opened, revealing a surprised Virgil with headphones around his neck. "Uh...Peter?" He waved, "Hey, Virgil!" He then greeted, glancing behind him into his room. It's dark. He doesn't like dark. He took a step back, but kept his smile. "Wanna hang out?"

This surprised Virgil once again. "Hang out? With me? Me and you? You and me?"

Felix nodded. "Yeah, we're friends, aren't we?"

"Y-yeah!" Virgil hurriedly agreed, "I just-thought you'd..chose someone else over me" he shrugged. Peter frowned and reached forward, hugging himself against Virgil's chest. "I like you just as much as the others, V" he reassured, then let go and skipped down the hallway. "Come on! We can hang out in the beanbag room!" The beanbag room being a room solely filled with beanbags.
