Chapter Text
Virgil had been working on this display for an hour. It was for some big back to school event and his manager, who was an asshole, wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. Luckily, Virgil had enough anxiety that he could easily see every thread of fabric out of place. He’d just finished setting up one last rack of graphic t-shirts next to the shelves with a giant decorative apple and pencil and stepped back to look at the whole thing as one.
He was almost shoved over into said rack of clothing by someone but managed to steady himself. He looked up. “Oh, please no,” he said.
“Logan, get back here!” Virgil recognized Remus voice. Logan grimaced and slapped a hand over Virgil’s mouth. Of course. Why not. He hadn’t had his dose of bullshit in at least a week. He was wrestled to the ground behind the display.
“Apologies Virgil,” Logan said, pinning him to the ground. “…again.” Virgil tried to punch him, but Logan dodged expertly. “Just stay here until he passes.” Virgil narrowed his eyes at him. “Sorry.”
They stayed like that for a long moment. Remus called for Logan again from farther away. Logan gave it a moment before slowly straightening up. “Don’t scream, or else,” Logan said. Virgil gritted his teeth. Logan’s eyes searched his and he slowly let up.
Virgil sat up and they stared at each other for a few long seconds.
“Sup?” Remus asked, he head popping up over the clothes rack they were behind.
Logan cursed, and Virgil had a vision of what was about to happen a moment before it did. Logan hopped to his feet and shoved the clothes rack Virgil had just stocked over on top of Remus. Remus shrieked as he and half of the shelves of the display were toppled down by it. “Bastard!”
Logan darted away, further into the clothing store.
Remus struggled to get out from under Virgil’s ruined work, his foot getting caught on one of the metal arms. “Hey Virgil,” he said catching sight of him. “Want to help a guy out?”
Virgil flipped him off from the floor.
“I didn’t tackle you.” Virgil raised his other arm to flip him off twice.
