Chapter Text
3rd Person POV
Logan heads up stairs with the two teas in hand. Arriving at Virgil’s door he realizes he doesn’t have the hands to knock.
He quickly looks around, wanting to make sure no one sees this awkward moment and carefully knocks with foot.
“Virgil?” Logan called out.
A few seconds later with shuffling heard behind the door Virgill opens it.
“Hey L. Nice surprise seeing you outside of your room today.” Virgil greets opening the door so Logan can enter. Logan sarcastically rolled his eyes in response to Virgil’s comment.
“Nice to see you too V, I brought you a cup.” Logan holds up the cup he brought for him.
“Oh my god Lo, did you manage to sneak past the one coffee rule?!”
Virgil rushed over to Logan in excitement and carefully moved Logan’s arm so he could see what was in the cup.
“No sadly, it’s just tea.”
Logan hands Virgil his mug and sets his on a nightstand after taking a quick sip. It needs to cool off a bit more.
“Next time,” Virgil shakes his head and takes a sip then smiles at the taste. “Thanks for the tea Logan, you made it just the way I like it.”
“I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t know how to make it right considering how many times you ask me to make you some.”
Shaking his head with a smile on his face, Logan sits at Virgil’s desk chair and spins in a circle. Virgil gave a small chuckle at that.
“Not my fault, the way you make it tastes better.”
Virgil puts his tea down on the same side table Logan did and dramatically flops down on his bed.
“Ughhhh, I’m so tired.” Virgil complained, shutting his eyes and getting comfy.
“It’s only,” Logan checks his watch. “4:33 pm Virgil. I assume you worked hard today to be tired at such a time?” He asked knowing Virgil had most likely been in bed for most of the day.
“You know it.” Virgil replied, voice a bit muffled due to his face being smushed on his bed.
“Hmm, are you going to take a nap or are you going to wait to sleep until after dinner?”
Silence fell over them as Virgil went over his options. Only the sound of Logan grabbing his tea could be heard.
“I don’t know..”
Virgil turned his head to look at Logan.
“What do you think?”
“Well, you can always sleep now and I can wake you up for dinner but then you risk the chance of struggling to fall asleep later. Sleep is important though, so if your body is telling you that it needs rest then it probably needs rest.”
“So nap then?” Virgil asked for confirmation.
“Yes Virgil.”
Virgil got under his covers and Logan got up. Virgil looked at him in confusion.
“I’m going to grab some work from my room and bring it in here.” Logan explained.
“Okay.”
Logan then went and did what he said he was, making sure to grab a clipboard. Arriving back in Virgil’s room, he went to the side of the bed Virgil wasn’t on and put his stuff down. After making sure his tea was on this side of the bed’s side table, he got in the bed and under the covers.
What can he say? Virgil’s room has always been a bit chilly.
After Logan sat down, Virgil went over to him to try and see what he’s working on.
“Hello Virgil.” Logan said, he lowkey wasn’t expecting him to still be awake. Virgil usually falls asleep pretty fast when he’s this tired.
“What you working on?” He asked, too lazy to read anything on the papers.
“The usual planning. Have to make sure Thomas follows his routines, has his future plans memorized, and possibly some cleaning days thrown in the mix.”
Virgil laughed which caused Logan to smile.
“Thomas is going to hate those.”
“Yeah, well I wouldn’t have to plan out days for him to clean if he would pick up after himself.”
Virgil snuggles into Logan, what can he say bro’s comfy and warm. That’s totally the only reason why, totallyyyyy.
Logan starts working and makes sure to check his apple watch every so often while Virgil takes his nap. After about an hour and thirty minutes he finishes the work he brought in here or as much of it he felt like accomplishing and doesn’t know what to do with himself.
He left his phone in his room so he can’t play solitaire or anything. He doesn’t want to get up to grab an activity because he doesn’t want to disturb Virgil.
After looking around trying to figure out what to do with himself, he sees the TV remote. Might as well watch something. He bets that he could get in an episode or two of myth busters before dinner.
After making sure the TV was muted Logan went ahead and played the random episode he chose. Thank goodness Virgil keeps the subtitles turned on, if he didn’t it’d be a lot more challenging trying to understand what myth they’re working on busting in the episode.
After about twenty minutes into the episode Virgil awoke and sat up to see what Logan was doing. After rubbing his eyes and stretching a bit Virgil commented.
“Watching Mythbusters without me? Logan, how could you.”
“I can always rewatch it with you Virgil.”
“Yeah, I guess.”
With that Virgil looked at the time and proceeded to slowly get up to go to the bathroom. This caused Logan to also check the time and realize that Virgil got up at the perfect time. They had about fifteen minutes to share before dinner.
“Hey Logan, do you know what Janus is making tonight? Gotta make sure I know whether to bring a puke bag or not.”
“I believe he said meatloaf. Why would you need a puke bag? I highly doubt he’s going to try and poison you. I know Janus is a satisfactory cook, so it shouldn’t make you nauseous.”
“Ew and yeah his food isn’t gross because he makes it with,” Virgil does air quotes. “love, which is probably a cover up. Cover up for POSION.”
Logan shakes his head.
“You never know Logan. Plus it’ll have his cooties all over it. I bet he could poison us with all those cooties. I wouldn’t trust it.”
“V, do you think when Patton cooks and says he mad it with love that he’s poisoning us?”
“Um, no? Maybe? Oh my god what if Patton’s been slowly micro dosing us to death.”
Before Virgil fell down that paranoid filled rabbit hole, Logan went over to him and put his hands on his shoulders, hoping it’ll help ground him.
“Virgil, I hope you know that Patton would never attempt to harm us in any way. If he were micro dosing us we’d be taken out long ago.”
Logan’s thumbs rub up and down in a comforting manner.
“I know you and Janus have some.. tension between the two of you. But we would never let him poison you or hurt you in any other way. We’re here for you Virgil.”
Virgil gives Logan a quick hug for both some quick comfort and a thanks.
“Also, just a reminder that all of us technically don’t have cooties as we are all characterized parts of Thomas.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Virgil rolled his eyes with a smile forming on his face.
They then began to head downstairs, running into Roman.
“Hi guys.” Roman greeted.
“Greetings Roman.”
“Hey.”
“I hope he doesn’t poison us.” Roman said half joking.
“Me too. If he does, let's jump him.”
“Bet.”
Roman and Virgil fist bump in solidarity.
“You two forget that Patton tends to hang out with whoever’s cooking. I don’t believe he’d let anyone poison us.” Logan tries to reassure.
He can’t tell if for Roman he’s just joking or if he’s like Virgil and worried that their personal feuds are going to punch them in the face in the form of a meal.
“He’s slimy, you never know what he could sneak past Patton.”
“Oooooo, you’re right Roman.”
“Guys..” Logan shakes his head knowing he couldn’t stop their comments even if he tried.
They reach the kitchen.
“You know I can hear you guys, right?” Asks Janus, looking at them with an arched brow.
“Good, I’m glad.” Virgil replies looking around the kitchen looking for anything suspicious.
“Boys.” Patton shakes his head disapprovingly. “You two should know better by now.”
“Maybe I should poison you two.” Janus jokes.
“I’m not eating.” Virgil immediately states.
Patton sighs. “Yes you are, he’s not poisoning you guys, please go sit down.”
“If you say so.” Virgil replies and heads to the table, sitting next to Roman who’s already seated trying not to give Janus any more reason to poison him.
“Would you two like me to get you drinks?” Logan asks not wanting to be sitting at the table awkwardly with them.
“Sweet tea please Logan.” Roman replies.
“I'ma join Princy, sweet tea too please. Thank Lo.”
Logan nods as he grabs their drinks and gets his own. Once he gives Virgil and Roman their teas as well as puts down his own drink he goes and asks Patton, Janus, and Remus who had finally come downstairs for dinner the same question. Once he grabs their drinks and put them at their usual seats the meatloaf was ready and brought to the table.
Logan, Patton, Remus, and Janus all go ahead and grab their servings while Virgil and Roman wait to see someone take the first bite. After someone did, a couple seconds later they were quick to get a serving of their own.
Eventually the meatloaf was gone and everyone’s stomachs were filled and everyone began to head to their rooms for the night. While walking back up to Virgil’s room Logan turned to Virgil, ”Are you dying?”
“What?” Virgil looked at him puzzled. “I mean yeah, slowly technically. As of right now, full on death? No.”
“Do you feel sick at all?”
“No?”
“Glad to hear you weren’t poisoned." Logan says with a smirk on his face knowing his point was made.
Virgil showed him with his elbow.
“Oh hush! It could be a slow but deadly one. Like one of those that take a few hours to take effect.”
“If that's the case then I guess we won't know unless you drop dead out of nowhere.”
“Don’t say that! Logan! You know what? Just for that, next time I decide to sneak coffee, or any other kind of caffeine, I’m not sharing!”
Logan looks at Virgil with a betrayed look on his face.
“You wouldn’t.”
“I would.”
They stood in the hallway staring at each other. Trying to figure out who’s gonna give in first.
Virgil, in the name of rebellion started heading towards Roman’s room. Logan curious on what Virgil’s plotting, watches what he’s doing.
Virgil knocks on Roman’s door. Roman opens the door.
“Hi, what’s up Virge?”
“Roman you like proving points right?” Virgil asks, whispering so Logan can’t hear him.
“Depends, what point do you need me to help prove?” Roman whispers back matching Virgil’s energy.
“Roman, I need coffee, an energy drink, or just some form of caffeine. Under the table, pronto, no tattling, please.”
Roman thought about it for a sec before asking, “What’s in it for me?”
“I don’t know um, need a favor or something?”
Roman thinks for a bit again before making his request.
“I’ll give you an ultra violet monster, big can if you kiss Logan.”
Virgil’s face slowly grew red as he thought it over. Big price for a good item. Is it worth it? Yes.
“I’ll do it.”
And with that Virgil took a second to make himself lock in then walked back over to Logan.
Logan, looking at him in his teacher ahh stance asked, “Are you ready to tell me what you’re up to?”
“No, but can I see your hand real quick?”
Virgil held out his hand waiting for Logans.
“Sure?”
Giving Virgil his hand, Virgil interlocked their fingers. After a deep breath in and out on Virgil’s end, he flipped over their hands so Logan’s is facing Virgil and gave it a kiss.
Both faces red and one with gleaming purple eyeshadow, Virgil, with attempted nonchalance walked back to Roman to get the earned goods.
With monster in hand, Virgil walks back over to Logan and opens the can. Looking Logan directly in the eye, Virgil chugged half the can in one go.
“I told you.”
Logan, with nothing to say went and snatched the monster, chugging the rest of the can. Looking at Virgil’s offended face with a smile.
“Thanks for sharing V.”
Virgil stared at him not knowing how to react, that was not apart of the plan.
“I’m going to go hide the can, we can’t let Patton find this.”
Logan went into Virgil’s room to hide it in the back of Virgil’s closet. Virgil followed him.
“I can’t believe you just did that.”
Logan shrugged. “I wanted some.”
Virgil burst out laughing.
“Maybe if I kissed your hand twice he would’ve given me two.”
“Knowing him he’d probably make you do something else for another. Considering he,” Logan pulls out the note card with the word ship on it. “ships us, he’d probably make you do something else he deems romantic given the opportunity. “
“That makes sense.” Virgil nodded. “Wanna do some puzzles? I believe I have some sudoku, word search, and cross word books on my desk.”
Perking up upon hearing this, Logan hastily replied. “I’d love to!”
Roman’s POV
I can’t believe that actually just happened. Not only did I get Virgil to kiss Logan’s hand, but Logan drink from the can after Virgil did making them indirectly kiss! What crazy night!
