Warnings: Cutting, depression, depressed Patton

Patton was walking down the hallway. After the new video, he didn't feel so good. He hung his head down low, tears threatening to fall.

"I'm supposed to be the happy one, yet... I feel lost." Patton muttered. Then he felt Thomas trying to summon him. "Oh, what is it now?"

Patton put on a fake smile like he always did and sunk down. He rose up moments after.

"Heyo, kiddos, what's up?" Patton smiled. He noticed that Deceit and Remus were also there.

"Patton," Thomas started. "How are you... feeling?"

"I'm feeling great!" Patton said. Deceit stared at him. "Now, I really need to do something, so..."

"Oh, you can go. That's fine."

"Great! See you later." Patton sunk down and rose up in his room. He frowned and looked over at the box.

'I wonder what it'll be like to kill him...' A voice whispered in Patton's head.

"But death... isn't good," Patton said.

'He doesn't love you.'

"Who doesn't love me?"

'You know the answer. Your love interest. He certainly doesn't love you.'

"That may be true, but I know he cares..."

'Oh, really? When he calls you a dolt, you think he cares?'

"He does..." Tears started to fall.

'He doesn't. Just give it up and kill yourself.'

Without knowing it, Patton was walking towards the box. He tried stopping, but it was like he was being controlled. His hands slowly opened the box. Inside was a large knife. Patton grabbed it and aimed it at his heart.

"I c-can't..." Patton cried. "You can't control me."

'I already am.'

Everyone rose up to the common room and started to do their own thing. But Deceit was thinking.

'He lied.' He thought. "Guys, Patton lied."

Everyone gasped.

"I never thought I would hear 'Patton' and 'lied' in the same sentence. Let alone next to each other." Roman said.

Then they heard a scream.

"Patton..." Logan muttered. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to Patton's room. Logan checked the doorknob. "It's locked."

"Move," Roman said. Logan moved out of the way and Roman kicked the door in and everybody ran inside and gasped at the sight.

Patton was lying on the floor... with a knife in his leg.

'No! You idiot!' A voice yelled.

"Get out of here, Depression!" Virgil yelled.

'Never, I'm needed here.'

They heard soft crying. Patton was still awake with cut marks on his arms. He was still holding onto the knife.

Logan kneeled down next to Patton. He summoned a first-aid kit.

"Okay, Patton. I need you to look at me." Logan said. Patton nodded. Logan gently grabbed Patton's hand and put it on his arm. "If anything hurts, just squeeze my arm, okay?"

Patton nodded again and Logan started to pull out the knife. Patton closed his eyes and squeezed Logan's arm tightly. He cried more once it was pulled out.

Logan put it next to him and grabbed a wet rag that he also summoned. He cleaned the wound and grabbed the disinfectant. He put a little bit on the wound. Patton squeezed Logan's arm again. He wrapped some bandages around Patton's leg.

"There," Logan said once he was done. Patton let go of Logan's arm.

"Thank you, Lo..." Patton whispered. Then he looked at the ceiling. "See? He does care."

'He may still care, but he certainly doesn't love you.'

"What...?" Logan whispered.

"Nothing. He said nothing." Patton panicked.

'I said 'he may still care, but he certainly doesn't love you'.'

"What makes you say that?" Logan asked.

'...What? Well- because- you- um..."

"Exactly, you have nothing to say. I do care about him and I certainly do love him."

'Grrr... I'll be back!'

His voice faded and everyone stared at the two on the floor.

"Well, we'll just leave," Virgil said and pushed everyone out of the room and closed the door to give them some privacy.

"So..." Logan muttered. Then Patton slowly sat up. "Oh, be careful."

"I know, Lo," Patton said.

"How did this all happen?"

"Well, I'm- I have... depression." Tears started to fall down his face.

"Hey, it's alright. You can tell me later, for now, you need to rest." Logan said.

"Yeah..." He leaned on Logan and Logan picked him up bridal-style.

Logan put him on the bed. He was walking away, but Patton pulled him back.

"Wait, can you... um, lay with me?" Patton asked slowly. Logan softly smiled.

"Of course." He said and walked to the other side of the bed. He lied down and Patton instantly curled up into a ball. Logan pulled the covers over them and pulled Patton closer.

"Logan, can I tell you something?" Patton asked.

"Yes, go ahead," Logan said.

"...I love you."

"I love you too, now get some sleep. I'll still be here when you wake up."

"Thank you, Logie..."

"You're welcome," Logan said and kissed Patton's forehead.
