Pairings: Platonic Moxiety; Platonic Soulmates

Trigger warnings: Mentions of drinking (very brief), mention of Roman being a jerk and almost violence. If I missed any I'm super sorry and feel free to yell at me XD

Summary: This is pretty much Virgil singing/ranting about Roman giving him a hard time about being Anxiety and how Patton helps him. The song this is based off if is According to you by Orianthi. (The lyrics are slightly tweaked to be male) also when it says irresistible it is supposed to be platonically I swear XD

Notes: This is Virgil singing

Virgil sat in his room the door unlocked but he thought it was locked. He must have forgotten after his little falling out with Roman, one of the people he considered a close friend. He mostly stayed friends with him because he needed them.to get along for Thomas' sake. Roman had been making fun of him a lot lately and today got bad, things were said and Virgil had to leave before Roman tried to punch him. Of course Roman didn't mean it but Virgil got on his nerves and just hit the wrong nerve.

~flash back about 5 minutes~

Virgil had pointed out something that could end badly. Thomas was invited to a party but the friend that had invited him wasn't really the best person to be hanging out around. Roman had combatted this with saying "If he is really that bad why would he invite us?"

"Maybe because he doesn't want to get caught by the police by himself" Patton suggested very quietly scared to disturb Roman in his anger-filled passion.

"Well, maybe they just want Thomas to have some fun!!" Roman began to take slow steps toward Virgil, who was shaking lightly.

"Roman..." Warned the protective Logical side. Ever since the moving on an incident he had been a bit more observant and protective of his anxious friend and had begun to recognize the signs of a panic attack and learned how to help.

He leaned toward the railing and whispered the breathing technic to help Virgil calm down thinking Roman would stop sooner but No. Romans advance continued until he was 2 feet from Virgil.

Roman leaned down and grabbed the collar of Virgils jacket in his first "You are stupid!! Useless! You can't do anything right!!"

Thomas had sort of zoned out until he felt a shot of adrenaline run through him. He looked over and quickly covered his mouth to hold in the gasp that was about to escape. Virgil had frozen up and was shaking. Romans fisted was drawn back and Virgil was nearly lifted off the ground "You're impossible!!"

Suddenly Roman got pushed back a bit and released Virgil, who fell back a bit landing into the wall. Patton had pushed Roman away (he'll feel bad later but right now he needs to protect his kiddo)

Almost instantly Logan ran over and tried to calm him before Thomas had a panic attack. Logan got Virgils breathing and thinking back after a few seconds. Patton had his finger raised and was scolding and lecturing Roman in his scary Dad voice. Roman soon snapped out of it just in time to see Virgil sinking down "Wh...What happened?"

Patton let out a soft sigh and Logan helped explain. Thomas had suggested he go apologize after Patton calmed Virgil down a bit. He told the others that his anxiety levels were still pretty high. Roman felt awful and sunk down to curl up in his room. He set an alarm for about 30 minutes.

~with Patton~

Pattin immediately sunk down after Thomas had said that his Anxiety was still heightened. He popped up in his room and immediately grabbed a wooden tray and ran to the kitchen. He began to prepare 2 hot cocoas in black and light blue mugs, and cookies on a large plate. When he heard a small thud from Virgils room he worked that tiny bit faster. He put all the stuff on the tray and made his way to Virgils room. He knocked with his foot dully noting the small hole to the right of the door frame.

~In Virgils room~

Virgil removed his hoodie once he entered his room and tossed it onto his black and purple computer chair. It turned slightly from the force. Virgil groans and gripped at his hair before turning and kicking the wall leaving a small hole that he would fix later. He then heard a knock on the door. He walks over and peeks out the peephole to see Patton. 'Good Roman wasn't stupid enough to show his face to me'

He quickly opened the door and let the fatherly trait inside. Patton walked in quickly so Virgil. could close the door, which he did very quickly and he locked it this time. Patton carefully places the tray on the bedside table and sat on the bed. Virgil almost instantly got the message and came over. He leaned into the fatherly trait and Patton wrapped his arms around him.

Virgil needed this more than anything. He felt Patton shift and move his arms under his body and pull him up into his lap. Virgil gave a gentle blush and then a smile. He usually would be embarrassed if it was someone else but Patton was his best friend if not a small bit more. No Virgil didn't have a crush on the cardigan-clad man if anything it was a platonic crush. Virgil and Patton had already admitted they were Platonic Soul mates.

Patton brought Virgil close and nuzzles into his hair "You're beautiful... I love you... You are always in my head and you are needed... Never forget that... Never"

Patton kissed Virgils head and Virgil gave a gentle smile "Thanks, Pat..."

Patton then sat up and dusted himself off "Alright kiddo... Guessing you want some time alone?"

Virgil gave a gentle nod and picked up his cocoa and sipped at it. Patton nods and kisses Virgils head one last time. He then took his own mug and a cookie and left. Before he left he said one last thing "You're amazing Virge..." He then closed the door on his way out.

Now Virgil sat alone in his room. He glanced around and saw the guitar in the corner and set down his cocoa. Maybe he could burn off some steam with a quick song.

He went over and grabbed it. He moved over to his computer chair and tossed the jacket to the side. He then plopped down and rests the guitar on his right knee and began to strum a familiar tune after a bar or so began to sing

"According to you... I'm stupid, I'm useless, I can't do anything right..."

Virgils face was sorrowful while he sang this part

"According to you, I'm difficult, hard to please, forever changing my mind, I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time... Even if it would save my life, According to you... According to you..."

Virgils voice was smooth and very strong. He had tears brimming his eyes and his strumming was skilled and he was getting heavily into the song. He wouldn't even know he had a listen standing outside his door listening.

"But According to him! I'm beautiful, Incredible, He can't get me out of his mind!"

Behind the door, Roman had his hand over his mouth holding back sobs at the lyrics Virgil was releasing. He never meant him to feel this way.

"According to him! I'm funny, irresistible, everything he ever wanted!! Everything is the opposite and I don't feel like stopping it!"

Roman would be lying if he said Virgils voice didn't make his heart swell. He shook his head and kept listening to the man behind the door singing his heart out

"So baby tell me what I got to lose! He's into me for everything I'm not!!"

Virgil finally heard the sniffle behind the door and stopped for a second but then smirked beginning to sing louder

"According to you! According to you! I'm boring, I'm moody and you can't take me any place!"

"According to you, I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away, I'm the guy with the worst attention span and you're the boy that puts up with that! According to you! According to you!!"

Roman felt awful and his mouth was ripping out sobs woefully now. Patton heard and came to find what was wrong and heard the song as well. He wrapped Roman in a hug and listened with him knowing he needed to hear how Virgil felt.

"But according to him!! I'm beautiful, incredible" he can't get me out of his head! According to him! I'm funny, irresistible, Everything is opposite"

Patton smiled gently glad that Virgil knew how much he loved him. He hid his smile quickly though and kept Roman from sobbing himself to unconsciousness

"I don't feel like stopping it, So baby tell me what I got to lose, He's into me for everything I'm not, According to you, I need to feel appreciated, Like I'm not hated, oh no,"

"Why can't you see me through his eyes? It's too bad you're making me decide "

Roman felt awful and he sobbed into Patton who just pet his head.

"But according to me, You're stupid, You're useless, You can't do anything right"

"But according to him, I'm beautiful, Incredible, He can't get me out of his head. "

Patton made sure Roman was secure before opening the door a bit which made the music louder. He peeked in to find Virgil with tears streaming his face and on his knees.

"According to him, I'm funny, Irresistible, Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is the opposite, I don't feel like stopping it"

"Babe I'll tell you what you got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you."

Virgils voice finally died down and came to a sobbing whisper

"According to you, I'm stupid, I'm useless...I can't do anything right"

He dropped the guitar to the floor and curled up on the floor sobbing. Roman saw and ran in before Patton could do anything. He brought the sobbing Virgil to his chest. Virgil would have pushed away but it felt nice... Patton came over and helped them both to the bed the while time Roman whispering how he didn't mean any of the things he said and how he was sorry.

Virgil accepted the apology weakly, exhausted from his little show. Patton and Roman got Virgil comfy on his bed. Roman picked up his guitar and put it on the stand. He then looked to Virgil seeing he was fast asleep. Patton placed a kiss to his forehead and began to head for the door. Roman smiles and follows quickly behind.

Roman and Patton looked at each other once they were out and let out smiles before going their separate ways.

(This sucked 😭😭)
