It had been a very weird week.

There was nothing going on really, everything was very chill and Virgil found it a tad bit confusing.

Not in a bad way, mind you but in a peculiarly calm way?

Videos had already been uploaded and Thomas was taking a well deserved break. After he took a long nap, the host opted to just lounge around the house, something Anxiety was very content with, especially since Joan and Talyn would pop in every now and again.

The only problem with this was that it left the emo in a...buzz?.

The weird buzzing feeling wasn't bad just odd. It reminded him of that feeling that comes right before you fall asleep. Just the thought of it made him yawn.

Absolutely refusing to waste a good opportunity for a nap, that and not wanting to fall on his face, Virgil moved to lay on the couch in the common area. Placing on his headphones and closing his eyes, the dark side drifted off to sleep.

-----

It didn't take long for Logan and Patton to walk into the commons.

Pat of course was the first one to spot the sleeping persona. Gingerly he moved next to the tired trait and gently shook his arm.

Anxiety's eyes opened a smidge.

"Hey kiddo know that a nap sounds nice right about now, but wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to sleep in your bed rather than the couch?"

Virgil didn't reply instead, he streched out his arms and made some sleepy grabby hand motions. Patton of course was all to happy to comply, the emo was always clingy when he was sleepy.

Dad smiled as he began helping the younger up, in a half lean-half standing position. The half awake side wobbled a bit before simply wrapping his arms around the Father's waist in a hug.

"D'aaw"

Pat gave the younger a pat on the head.

"Come on let's get you to bed, right Logan?"

Apparently Anxiety didn't realize Logic was there until Morality had mentioned him.

Slowly the youngest trait turned to the teacher with half lidded eyes and stretched out his hand. He managed to grip the Logical side's watch, holding onto it firmly as he dragged him towards himself and Patton.

Logan of course tried to back away but unfortunately failed, as tired as he was, Virgil was rather strong.

The emo successfully dragged the trio into a group hug-well, he dragged them together, Patton was the one who wrapped his arms around the two.

"Aww, group hugs are the best!" Smiled the Father all giddy like.

Logan rolled his eyes fondly, his cheeks were currently a small tinge of red.

"Yes, I suppose they are", he murmured distractedly as he stared entrancedley at Patton, they were still hugging.

"Yep, an' now *yawn* Princey owes me fifty dollars"

Both Parent and Teacher jumped after hearing a small camera shutter sound. Turning they saw (a still sleepy) Virgil off to the side and on his stairs with his phone still in the pose of taking the picture.

Both 'adults' were very confused as to how the youngest trait managed to escape them so easily.

"How...how did you, do that-?" Stuttered Logic shocked. Patton's face was easily mimicking that of his counter part.

The dark personality smirked clicking finger guns before heading up the stairs.

Patton and Logan just blinked.

After a moment Dad sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"You know, sometimes I wonder about that boy"

Logic pushed his glasses up.

"I believe this is what happens when he gets too sleep deprived"

"Probably Teach", shrugged Patton as he moved to sit on the couch, "you up for some Office re-runs?"

"Sure"

----

It was late into the evening when Patton called them down for dinner. Logan was the only one who came down.

Roman was off questing so the Father didn't expect him to show up but Virgil couldn't possibly still be asleep, right?

Popping into the younger's room with a knock, the Parental was surprised to find that Anxiety was not in his room. Frowning he checked with Thomas. The host was absent-mindedly watching TV, Virgil was nowhere to be found.

Now worried if the youngest had, for some reason, deemed it necessary to 'duck' out again, Patton quickly grabbed Logan and went to look for Roman. This way all three of them could go find Virgil.

-----

Virgil couldn't sleep, he had managed to drift off for a couple minutes on the couch but now he just wasn't able to slip into unconsciousness.

Sighing he got up and headed to the one place that made him feel calm.

It was a small cove like area in Roman's Kingdom. It was always nice and quiet, he was pretty sure it was inspired by 'How to Train Your Dragon' but he digressed.

He found his usual "seat" a small space between large thick leaved trees. There were four things about this spot that always made him comfortable. There was a tree on the left, a tree on the right and a tree further back making a surprisingly straight triangle.

Here's were it got better, just before the "back tree" as he called it, was a stump, it was smooth flat and decently round, perfect for sitting on. And with him sitting there he could easily and comfortably lean his back on well, 'the back tree'.

His spot was just perfect, no rain could get in because all the thick leaves were huge and angled downwards and away from the stump. It wasn't too dark, nor to bright and the air was always fresh, especially when it rained, which coincidentally, it was now.

Sitting down on the stump and leaning back on the tree, Virgil relaxed to the sight, sounds and smells of the rain.

----

Patton had all to easily found Roman, he was in the midst of saving a Princess from a Dragon. At the sight of his two-not three-counterparts Princey moved faster. The Dragon didn't even see it coming and soon ducking, rolling and dodging meant Prince ended up with a beheaded fire breathing reptile. Even Logan was impressed with the tact and skill the Royal used.

With the Princess saved and sent on her way home via Roman's horse. The Royal joined his two elder personas and set off to find Virgil.

----

He was startled out of a light doze when something brushed against his fingers. Eyes snapping open Anxiety bit back a curse only to see that it was a harmless, though slightly wet rabbit sniffing his fingers.

A rare warm smile graced his lips as he reached down to stroke the fluffy creature. It let him pet it for a few times before hopping over and sitting on his shoe covered feet, seemingly quite content.

Virgil chuckled and let the rabbit be, it was warm and his toes were getting cold anyway. He leaned back again only to realize that there was more than just a rabbit with him.

There was a mother duck and her ducklings, a couple toads, a tortoise of all things and two deer, a mother and a fawn. All trying to get out of the rain and his spot was apparantly very good for that. He stayed quiet, happy that the creatures trusted him enough to come close. He was about to close his eyes again, when from out of his peripherals he saw something getting tossed by the wind.

The next thing he knew, something small and wet had crashed onto his chest. Frowning he looked into his lap to see the wet and shivering mess that was a bluebird.

The creature had pretty little green eyes and one very dark feather that may have very well been navy blue. Gently Anxiety picked up the shaking creature and helped dry it off using his hoodie sleeves.

All the other animals seemed intent on staring at him during the process but for once he didn't mind the attention. By the time he finished the little bird was a little puff ball.

Laughing, he gently smoothed down the creature's feathers and it chirped out a thank you before fluttering to his shoulder and nuzziling his cheek.

He held out a finger and the blue bird perched on it.

"You're one of Roman's birds aren't you?"

He received and affirmative chirp.

"Hmm, *yawn* I wonder what he's up to..."

The bird didn't respond this time, not that it mattered to him, all he knew was that he was warm and the smell of the rain was making him sleepy.

He barely noticed when the bird flew off his finger, his eyes had already slipped closed.

----

The blind search hadn't gone on for long when the trio was stopped...by a blue bird?

Logan was utterly confused as to why this little creature was chirping at them, well more accurately chirping at Roman.

"It says that 'the dark one' wants to know what I'm doing" translated Prince with a frown.

"The Dark one as in a Witch or Virgil?" Asked Patton with a quirked brow.

"I don't know, let me ask"

"Roman I highly doubt a bird is going to tell us where-"

"It says that 'the dark one' looks like us, im willing to bet it's Virgil, let's follow it"

With that Roman took off, Patton following.

"Right behind you kiddo!"

Logan rolled his eyes, thoroughly questioning his mental state to be following a bird.

----

"Shh, don't wake him"

"Don't disturb the animals either"

"Well we have to get to him somehow"

Virgil opened a bleary eye at hearing voices.

Dad was the first to notice, nudging his elbow onto Prince's side, he tilted his head, gesturing to the youngest.

"Ro, he's up, go get him"

As much as the Royal wanted to grumble, this was his Kingdom, the animals were less likely to attack him for moving their new ward.

Gently he moved towards the sleepy emo and removed the rabbit from off his feet. Virgil, still very much half-actually less than that-awake, streched out his hands and made grabby hand motions at Roman. The Prince smiled and easily picked him up bridal style, the emo happily curled onto his chest and drifted off.

Roman bit back a chuckle, Virgil was always clingy when he was tired.
