[33] Too Close To Be Friends, Too Distant To Be Lovers

Virgil shifted slightly and looked up. Logan had fallen asleep, again. Not wanting to wake him up, Virgil lay him down slightly, not moving from under his arm, knowing that if he did, Logan would be awake in a moment. He snuggled into his side and smiled softly. Despite Logan being careless, Virgil definitely held a fondness for him.

It wasn't the first time it happened. Logan would overwork himself, Virgil would find him stressed and half asleep, only to pull him to the commons and stick on some brainless nonsense, and let Logan fall asleep. Normally, though, Virgil would be the one holding Logan close. Logan would be leaning against him, falling asleep pressed against his chest.

Virgil let his gaze focus on the TV, not much caring for what was playing, but he needed something to focus on. He didn't mind being there with Logan when he overworked himself, but he often wished that Logan knew when to take a break and to only work in moderation. Then again, they all had their moments where they overworked, but that didn't make it any easier to deal with. Patton, Roman, and Virgil rarely overworked themselves, when they did, it was because Thomas needed something, Logan just did it all the time, because he didn't feel like taking a break.

Roman and Patton soon walked in, remnants of their laughter still hung in the air, but, Virgil noticed, when they looked at Logan, their happy moods seemed to diminish. They sat on the other half of the sofa, their gaze not leaving Logan and Virgil.

"He's okay, just tired and overworked. Promise." Virgil looked over to them and smiled softly, looking to their hands.

"Okay. Do you need help getting him upstairs? And when are you going to tell us about what's going on between you two?" Roman looked at him.

"No. He's asleep and if we try to move him too much, he'll wake up and won't sleep again. As for the other question... We're in a queer platonic relationship. We're not romantically involved, but we're definitely closer than just friends."

"Well, whatever makes you happy, kiddo."

Virgil smiled softly and turned back to the tv, letting himself completely relax and just enjoy his time with them all in silence.
