Hopped on that Patton in a skirt train
Yup!
Based on this prompt about Virgil falling asleep in Janus’s lap and him crying because they haven’t been this close in years.
Virgil feels himself start to nod off, Janus had picked out the movie they were watching, and Virgil had seen it enough times already to not feel too determined to stay awake. It had been a few days since he had gotten a good night’s sleep, so a nap was sounding really great right then. He absentmindedly lays his head down in Janus’s lap, like he’d done a million times before, during a million other movie nights just like this one.But this time was different. Virgil hadn’t done this in years.
This wasn’t even their first movie night of the week, but it was the first one that Virgil had initiated himself. He didn’t know what had possessed him to do so, he just felt like he and the snake should watch a movie. He even let the reptilian trait pick the movie.
Virgil’s head lands in the scaled side’s lap and he instantly falls asleep. The familiar safety doing its job of making him relax just the same way it always used to.
Janus barely managed to muffle his gasp of surprise as the smaller side’s soft snores start up. Virgil. Virgil was asleep in his lap, Virgil had just curled up in his lap to sleep.
Janus lifts a shaky, tentative hand towards the smaller side, he gently and quietly starts stroking the emo’s hair. Virgil makes a soft noise of content and Janus is done for, hot tears start spilling down his cheeks.
Patton walks by on his way to the kitchen then, he pauses when he sees Janus crying on the couch. His brow furrows in concern, “Jan?” he asks softly.
The scaled side’s head snaps, “Shhh…” he hisses harshly.
Patton cocks his head to the side in confusion, Janus gives him a shaky smile and points at the sleeping side in his lap.
Patton’s eyes widen and he gives Janus a smile and a nod, he remembers the first time Virgil had fallen asleep on him, and he knew this was probably somewhat similar to that. He drapes a blanket over the sleeping side. He gives Janus one last look, before grabbing a snack and heading back to his room.
The room is enveloped in silence once again, Janus’s crying muffled by the hand not occupied by the constant stroking of Virgil’s hair.
A single tear falls from the snake’s face and he fails to catch it before it hits the sleeping traits face. Virgil’s eyes snap open.
He looks around quizzically. His face turns from confused to concerned when he sees the tears on Janus’s face. “Jay? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” His voice is soft with sleep and laced with worry.
Janus stiffens for a second before reaching out to pat the side’s hand, he smiles warmly, “Nothing’s wrong, darling. Go back to sleep.”
Virgil sits up, eyeshadow darkening, “Did I do something wrong?”
Janus makes a noise in the back of his throat, “No. No, darling. This isn’t your fault. Everything’s alright, I promise. Now, why don’t you go back to sleep?” He lifts a scaled hand to cup Virgil’s face, “You look so tired, my little shadow.”
Virgil leans into the touch, a small sigh escaping him, “I still want to know why you’re crying,” he hums.
Janus gingerly pulls the other side into a hug, Virgil relaxes into the embrace, resting his head on the snake’s shoulder, “I just missed you…so much.” Janus whispers.
Virgil wraps his arms around Janus, “I missed you too,” he hums sleepily.
Janus chuckles fondly when he feels the smaller trait fall back into a deep sleep, apparently satisfied that everything was okay.

Oh my god this is great-
A/N: so I wanted some protective!creativitwins content and came up with this! alternative titles are “Roman is Babey (literally) and frankly so is Remus (not literally)” or “Roman and Remus: aka Baby and Babey,” but the actual title comes from the song “Hey Brother” by Avicii. Huge thanks to @vintage-squid for beta-ing!! Enjoy!
Warnings: de-aged Roman, swearing, mild fantasy violence, Remus being Remus (aka gross and gruesome but otherwise he leans sympathetic in this fic), teasing/banter, crying, hugging, snuggling, morally neutral Janus (he shows up to give some mildly helpful input then fucks off like the dramatic bitch he is)
-
Remus was not equipped for the current situation in the slightest. In fact, this was probably the furthest from his job one could get. He was supposed to be disturbing, creepy, and well… technically creative. But not the whimsical kind- that was his brother’s thing. But he wasn’t sure how much his brother was going to be contributing to creativity at the moment, because he was suddenly much shorter, staring up at Remus with wide brown eyes, and- oh yeah, he was a fucking child. For some reason. Well, Remus did know the reason… maybe starting from the beginning would be better.

bring him back
it’s been 190 days i need him
He remembers the first time he kissed Janus. He remembers the way they were curled up against each other, the lights dimmed and the television on low volume, neither of them paying attention to the images on the screen. It was messy and terrible, as far as kisses go, and Patton loved every moment of it, and when they pulled away from each other, they were both breathless, smiling, and he knew then that what he felt, Janus felt too.
He remembers, too, the moment he heard about Virgil.
It’s not every day that your husband’s long-lost kid breaks into your house. It’s not every day that you find out your husband of four years is an alien.
Patton’s just trying to roll with the punches.

Patton’s day begins with a teenager holding a knife to his throat.
Technically, the day has already begun; it is mid-morning, the sun inching steadily toward noon. But Patton has barely been awake an hour, has been sitting at the kitchen table with his mug of coffee, staring at all the final exams he has yet to grade as he waits for his brain to start functioning. He likes Saturday mornings; he would go so far as to say that they’re usually his favorite part of the week, because usually, Saturday mornings mean sleeping in, wrapped in his husband’s arms, and later, a big brunch and a lazy day. But today, an emergency called Janus into the office, and he has a backlog of grading to finish this weekend, so here he is. Squinting, bleary-eyed, and with a sad lack of a husband to keep him company.
That is when the teenager appears.
Appears, because there is no better word for what happens. There is no break-in, no slamming of doors or shattering of windows. One minute, he is alone, and the next, there is another person in the kitchen, a young person who can’t be any older than seventeen or eighteen, and Patton barely has time to process that before they lunge for him, knocking him from his chair and to the floor, pinning him against the cool tile.
It takes a second to process the bite of cold, sharp metal against his throat, but as soon as he does, Patton wakes up very, very quickly.
