Chapter Text
Virgil Nyx was… different. He didn’t have a mom. Don’t think he didn’t love his dads who adopted him he did; they took him away from his abusive dad but they also took him away from his loving mom. Remy, his significant other, had an amazing mom who loved Virgil as well. So here we were, Virgil sitting in his Spanish class, anxiously waiting to be able to go home and cuddle with his significant other. They always knew how to cheer him up.
“So your last name would be your father’s last name first, then your mother’s last name if you were born in a Spanish speaking country. Virgil, what would your last name be?” The sudden question shocked Virgil for a second. His teacher was staring at him. She was clearly waiting for an answer.
“Um, what if you don’t have a mom?” That earned a laugh from the class and a sarcastic one from his teacher.
“Haha Virgil. What would it be?” She asked again. Virgil swallowed air and bit his lower lip.
“I really mean what if you don’t have a mom..?” Virgil mumbled, looking into his lap.
“Virgil. What would it be? Your dad’s last name, mom’s maiden name.” The teacher looked at Virgil with a disapproving glare.
“Virgil Anx Nyx Knight.” Virgil mumbled, just giving her Remus’ family name.
“Thank you. Now in Spanish speaking countries-” Virgil ignored whatever happened the rest of the class, opting to pass notes with Patton who was next to him.
She should’ve listened to you. I know Remy is going to flip their lid if they hear about this. She should’ve at least asked you what you meant. -Patton
eh what are you gonna do? she just sucks as it is so. besides, little does she know I just gave her my papa’s family name. I don’t even know my birth mom’s name. -V
You accept things too easily, Virge. She shouldn’t have been rude about it. She can just check the system and see that you don’t have a mom. -Patton
patt, it’s fine. people suck. now continue writing the notes so i can copy them later. -V
Fine. I am going to complain though, Nobody upsets my dark strange son! -Patton
Virgil smiled softly at the note and hid it under his folders, now doodling on the side of his notebook. Patton was a good friend.

“Hi Mr. and Mr. Nyx!” Patton waved happily to Virgil’s dads.
“Oh hello Patton.” Dolos waved back to Patton and looked back at the food he was making.
“Hola dads of Virgil.” Remy smiled, entering the house.
“Hey Remy.” Remus smiled back and waved enthusiastically then resting his head on Dolos’ shoulder to see what he was doing. Virgil closed the door behind him and sat on the couch, leaving room for Patton and Remy. Patton sat on his left side and Remy sat on his right side, sliding their arm around Virgil's waist.
“So the Spanish teacher sucks.” Virgil mumbled, cuddling into Remy’s side.
“Ms. Smith?” Dolos asked, looking up at his son.
“Ms. Smith is a funny last name for a Spanish teacher.” Remus commented, walking into the living room. Remus sat in a chair so he could easily talk to Virgil.
“What’d she do, sweetie?” Virgil looked up at his dad.
“She kept insisting that I tell her my mom’s maiden name. But I don’t know it and asked her what if I didn’t have a mom and she laughed at me and kept telling me to tell it to me so I just gave her your family name and I didn’t know what else to do she just glared at me the rest of the class and I didn’t do anything else ‘m sorry, Papa.” Virgil kept rambling on, never catching a breath for he was talking too fast.
“Okay first off, breathe. Second off, you have nothing to be sorry about.” Remus looked over at his husband for help.
“I’m going to talk to the school board Virge.” Dolos said, not looking up from the zucchini lasagna he was making.
“Patton already complained to Dr. Picani about it.” Virgil mumbled, Patton laughed nervously.
“Because Patton is friggin great.” Dolos responded, smiling at Patton who smiled back.
“Oh! Virge, Roman and Logan are coming over soon. Yes they are sleeping over, for how long? Who knows?!” Remus said. Virgil nodded and just snuggled closer to Remy who pressed a kiss to his head. Virgil blushed, his whole face turning red.
“Awww baby you look so cute when you blush!” Remy squealed, kissing Virgil’s nose.
“Hey Dee! Remember when we were like that?” Remus jumped up, running to Dolos.
“When?” Dolos turned around and caught Remus’ lips, catching the other male off guard. Remus gasped and blushed.
“Ha. Just like in highschool. But in highschool it was harder to get you into bed.” Dolos smirked, turning back around.
“Dad. That’s gross.” Virgil coughed, gripping Remy’s jacket. Remy ran their fingers through Virgil’s hair, knowing something was wrong. They massaged Virgil’s head, just trying to relieve whatever stress Virgil had pent up from the day. Virgil purred and leaned into the touch.
“Awww! You guys are adorable!” Patton squealed, taking a picture on his phone then showing it to them.
“Just adorable! I’m sending this to Thomas!” Virgil playfully rolled his eyes and lightly kicked Patton’s thigh. Remy giggled and kissed their boyfriend.
“Mm. You’re right, Virgie is cute.” Remy kissed Virgil’s nose before kissing his lips again. Virgil rolled his eyes again and let Remy massage his head. Virgil purred again and almost choked on laughter when he saw his Papa making some lude motions with his fingers.
“Papa!” Virgil hissed, nuzzling Remy’s neck. Dolos took a dish towel and swatted Remus with it.
“Harder Daddy~” Remus moaned, giggling at Dolos’ glare. Patton, sweet innocent Patton, looked confused.
“Why-” Virgil cut Patton off.
“Hey wanna watch Gravity Falls?” He asked, smiling.
“Yes!” Patton squealed, letting Virgil grab the remote and go to Hulu.
“Virge! Dinner’s ready, sweetheart. Rem, Patt, you may help yourselves. I made a tad too much for three people so have at it.” Dolos set the zucchini lasagna down. It was no bake so it had raw zucchini with a cheese spread, marinara sauce, and a pesto sauce. It was one of Dolos’ specialties and by far Virgil’s favorite. It was also pleasing to look at. Remy scooped Virgil up bridal style and brought him to the kitchen, plopping him onto a chair. Remy sat next to him, Patton sitting on the other side of Virgil with Dolos and Remus across from them. Dolos must have been able to tell that Virgil had been having a bad week because he was eyeing his son as Virgil ate. He also rarely made Virgil’s favorite dinner unless he had been upset, which had started happening a lot lately. Long story short, Virgil might get sick of this lasagna.
“So, how was your week Virgil?” Dolos asked, eating a forkful of lasagna. Virgil looked up from his food, shrugging and shoving food into his mouth.
“Okay I guess?” Virgil mumbled around the food.
“Don’t talk with your mouth full.” Remus reminded. Virgil rolled his eyes and swallowed.
“It was fine.” Remy raised an eyebrow at that and started making a sniffing motion.
“Babe. What are you doing?” Virgil asked, inching away towards Patton.
“Sniffing for bullshit. Which, I found. You’ve been complaining all week, baby.” Remy sighed at Dolos saying ‘language’. Patton rested a hand on Virgil’s shoulder.
“Veeeeeee.” Patton whined.
“If you’re having a bad week tell us. We love you!” Virgil let a small smile find its way onto his face as his friend swung his arms around him.
“But if you don’t want to at least tell Emile.” Remus said. Suddenly, ding dong. Remus jumped up and ran to the door, opening it.
“Hi yes it is I, the amazing Uncle Roman! And I guess Uncle Logan’s here two.” Roman smiled, making his famous stance as he walked in, Logan sighing behind him. Well this was going to be a loooooong day. Or well, two or three.
