Virgil wishes he has Princey’s talent of making any phrase sound beautiful or Logan’s vast vocabulary But he doesn’t.

All Virgil has is his calligraphy and the way he feels.

It took five hours to finish everything and Virgil examines the project, checking if there is anything else he should add. Then it took another two hours of debating with himself on whether or not he should give the present to Patton.

In the end the braver side of him won.

Because really, this is the least he could do for Patton. Patton who’s warm and kind and who’s given Virgil more than he dared hope to have.

How do you pay back the one who’s given you everything?

Virgil still doesn’t know the answer.

But he hopes this little token will at least show his appreciation.

Patton arrived in his room after a long day helping Thomas The human had a little disagreed with his brother and the Moral Side had to help Thomas sort his feelings out and work a way for Thomas to admit he was in the wrong and apologize

By the end of the day Patton was exhausted and he almost misses the foreign object on his table when flops on his bed.

Almost.

Getting up, he walks over to his table and takes a look at the clear, glass, jar placed there next to a box of cookies.

The jar was huge, like it would take both hands to pick it up, the rim was decorated with blue lace and inside Patton could make out pieces of rolled up paper the filled the whole thing. On top of the lid says “to my Best Friend” in a handwriting that Patton recognized and made Patton grin happily

He eagerly opens the jar and as soon as he takes off the lid a handful of papers pop up; the jar was filled to the brim.

Patton takes one out and rolls it open.

The note says: “I love you because your jokes are freaking hilarious”

He smiles and takes out another one

“I love you because you’re a great cook”

Patton rolls the paper again when he’s done reading and places it carefully to the side so he can put it back in the jar once he had gotten through them all.

“I love you because you take interest in stuff I’m into even though they confuse you”

Patton let’s out a hearty laugh, the feeling of joy bubbling inside him.

“I love you because we both think Eeyore is an awesome character”

Patton giggles to himself as he remembers the Eeyore onesie he gave as a present. Virgil had given him an “uh..thanks” but he caught the Anxious Side wearing it almost every night.

“I love you because you gave me an Eeyore onesie”

And Patton laughs harder this time, giggling into his mouth before he picks another piece of rolled up paper

The rest of Patton’s night is spent with Virgil telling him he loves him and all the reasons why.

“I love you because you have an amazing laugh”

“I love you and you’re stronger than you seem”

“I love you because you’re smarter than people give you credit for”

“I love you because you’re brave enough to feel”

“I love you because you’re an amazing friend”

“I love you because you’re compassionate”

“I love you because you choose to care for everyone even those who don’t deserve it”

“I love you because you choose to be kind even though sometimes the world doesn’t give you a reason to”

“I love you because you chose to be kind to me even though I didn’t give you a reason to”

As he goes through more papers, the feeling of love and happiness spreads from his chest through his whole being, the warmth of Virgil’s words and love embracing him.

“I love you because you’re the reason Thomas is who he is”

“I love you because you take good care of all of us”

Patton spends the whole night going through every single message. And after a while of laughing and crying, and cry-laughing, Patton is down to one paper.

He opens the last piece of paper and more tears spill from his eyes as reads,

“I love you because you’re you”

—————–————————-

Virgil wakes up to the sound of knocking. He squints at his phone and glares at the 2:40 am staring back at him.

He forces himself off his bed and opens his door.

Suddenly he’s wrapped in Patton’s embrace, the Heart pulling him in a hug as soon as the door opens.

Virgil melts in Patton’s arms and he hugs back, fingers digging through the fabric of Patton’s hoodie

“So.. uh. Did you get my gift?”

Patton giggles against the top of Virgil’s head and Virgil grins not bothering to hide it this time

The two stayed like this. Laughing and feeling exorbitantly happy as they hold each other. Virgil sighs thinking he could stay like this forver if Patton wanted him to.

“Verge?”

“Yeah?”

“I love you too”

OMG you guys I finally have an excuse to smush together the Sanders Sides and Norse mythology. Don’t ask why I wanted to do that. I’m embarrassed enough that I actually wrote this. Like, really embarrassed. I couldn’t find a way to be satisfied with this. This is the version I wrote that I hate the least.

Anyways, @momfriendlogan had a cool idea for an au where the Sanders Sides are the four seasons and @ec-sanderssides added a cool thing to that post about how each of them would be affected by the other’s seasons, and I’ve been working on a story where I shoehorn some characters into mythology, and this idea went really well with it. And Sumarr and Vetr exist in traditional Norse mythology, but I cut the original seasons out. They don’t exist here. I’m bending the mythology A LOT, but if Marvel can butcher Norse mythology then so can I.
