Virgil's POV:

Roman and Remus left to go upstairs, I'm guessing they are going to set up an area for Remus to stay. Logan left soon after when Patton called him into the kitchen. Right as he turned the corner, deceit stood up, with the blanket he had still around his shoulders, and he started to look around.

I slipped my headphones off and paused my music. "What are you doing deceit?"

He jumped and almost fell over, must have startled him. Deceit turned around and looked at me. "Looking for my hat-"

Shit. Earlier he dropped it and I picked it up. But him, remus, and Logan were all talking and I didn't want to interrupt. So I put the hat on....

Deceit looked upset, oh god. Oh no oh no oh no-

"Can I have my hat please?" He asked, walking up to me, his hand out for the hat.

I stood up and put the hat on his head as I walked away, starting up the stairs. That was the worst interaction I have ever had with someone in....ever. Just ever. Like sometimes Roman is bad but interacting with deceit is like trying to talk to...how did patton put it one time when it was about Roman? Feeling like your heart is going to beat right out of your chest while your own throat is trying to suffocate you. Was basically what he said. It was probably less dark but it is what I remember getting out of what he said. Just keep going up the stairs and avoid eye contact-

"Hey virgil."

Damnit. I turn around to face deceit. Giving him a confused expression. Hopefully he will take that as 'leave me the hell alone'.

"Thank you..." he sounded sincere, but it was probably a lie. I can't get my hopes up.

I roll my eyes and continue up the stairs, "yeah whatever."

"Um," I glanced back and he had walked over, looking up at me from the bottom of the stairs. What does he want so badly he would go after ME?
"Logan said I wasn't aloud to be left alone..."

"Oh." He would wouldn't he? "Ok then come on. I'm not staying downstairs. So you can go hang out with the twins or whatever."

"I-sure I guess that works..." he went over to the couch and put the blanket on the couch. "Patton, Logan. I'm /not/ going upstairs with virgil and the twins."

I heard either Patton or Logan say "ok" and something else, but couldn't understand anything else.

"But...fine."  He came back over to the stairs and looked up at me with an upset...and embarrassed expression? Before I could ask he shook his head and walked up the stairs, gripping the railing. I continued up and went to my room, if he can get up half the stairs he can get up the last few. Whatever Logan and Patton told him probably wasn't important.

And if I did stay deceit would make some snarky remark about me still caring for him or something. I mean I do, but I don't want him knowing that. He'd assume I like him or something. Although I don't think anyone would believe him. Still though...

I can't have him find out that I love him. It would break my heart when he laughs and leaves.

Your welcome for the ominous foreshadowing near the end and an ACTUAL CONFESSION. Took it long enough. And I am so sorry for this chapter coming out reeeaaally late. I just had no motivation like, at all. So I'm just trying to push through.

Who's perspective would you want next?

Logan

Remus

Deceit

Thank you for being so patient! See you all later
