Eleven days.

That's the longest documented time a human has stayed completely awake for and even then it had major repercussions.

He's been awake for thirteen.

It's a good thing he's not human.

----

Dealing with Videos and the incoming hurricane and the preparation for the hurricane. It's suffice to say that Virgil was stressed. Of course those weren't the only things keeping him in overdrive, he worried about Thomas, about his friends about their apartment, the Fanders and about the dang hurricane itself!

Currently they were all at the Host's Parent's house until the hurricane was over-the storm's wind was picking up- he could hear the trees outside and he fearfully wondered if one of them would fall on the house, or lightning would strike it or...or-

"Virgil!"

He jolted, Roman was snapping his fingers in front of his face. Oh right, they were back at Thomas' apartment, the storm was over yesterday. What was he supposed to be doing again?

"Hey are you just going to stand there Edge lord or are you going to help me?"

Anxiety shook his head to clear it, they were home, they were supposed to help Thomas clean up the mess caused by the storm-

"Verge?"

"Y-yeah, sorry. I'll head for the kitchen-"

"Logan's handling that"

"Uh, okay, Dad's still outside with Thomas right?"

"Yes, they found an earth worm and now they're relocating it"

"Why? They could have just stuck it in a wet-ish dirt patch anywhere"

"Don't ask me but they're having fun so I'll let them be. What we should be doing is finishing up our cleaning"

"What should I do?"

"Well I was bringing down everything Thomas had stashed in the second floor back to the first- so I guess you can clean up the rooms?" The Royal shrugged at the end but there wasn't much left.

"Alright", mumbled Virgil as he grabbed a broom and mop and trudged slowly up the stairs. He was very confused and yet the gap in his memory didn't matter to him as it usually would, he just continued sweeping.
-----

After all the cleaning and everyone had gotten cleaned up themselves, Thomas had summoned them to his room. Currently, Virgil, Thomas and Roman were sitting on the bed, while Logan and Patton were standing.

"Thank you guys so much for your help! We really got things done and ready to go for tommorow", giggled the host with excitement.

"Yes and with this new 8-4 school-like schedule, things should be running smoothly and you'll finally be able to have your optimal rest"

"You got that right Logan, sucks that I have to get up at 7:30am though"

Patton was quick to pipe in with a beaminng smile.

"Well I'm sure Verge can handle waking you up on time, right kiddo?"

Virgil didn't hear him, not at all, everyone's voice sounded like it was under water. Not that he'd tell them that, he was a part of an actor and he could easily read the queues, they were all looking at him so he was to answer a question.

"We'll see", he mumbled, a non-commital answer was the best way to get them off his back and it seemed to work, the others just shrugged and continued talking.

He still had no idea what they were saying nor could he see them clearly, his vision was becoming as distorted as his hearing.

Thomas suddenly stood up, he was saying something but Anxiety could barley make it out.

"-up or mvee?"

The heck?

The others seemed to agree, Roman especially- hmm something Disney related? Disney movies! They were going to have a movie night.

They were looking at him again so he shook his head. They frowned, Dad more so than the others but they left him be and for that he was greatful because now the whole room was spinning.

Flopping back on the bed Virgil did his best to breathe through his nose, eyes squeezed shut as if they were somehow willing the room to its former stillness.

When he opened his eyes however, he realized that the room had stopped spinning but he was now curled up on his side clutching onto something. He wasn't sure what he was holding onto nor did he really care, he just assumed it was a pillow or something and let his heavy lids close again-

Only to have his body literally jolt him awake.

He was falling asleep in Thomas' room. The host was definitely going to be tired after the movies and probably didn't want to deal with him anymore than he had to after everything that happened these past few days. How would the poor boy feel if he was taking over his bed?

Groaning softly Verge snapped his fingers and teleported to his room, he was pleased to have lande directly on his own bed, it was far less of hassle for him. Sighing in relief he snuggled down into his hoodie, his hands and body curling around the stuffed bear as he closed his eyes.

Wait-bear?!

Brown eyes snapped open instantly.

Shiiii-Thomas' bear! He must have grabbed it when he teleported- or maybe that's what he was curled up with before? Either way he'd have to return it.

He sat up and snapped his fingers, only to end up dizzy, out of breath and flat on his back- okay, he'd return it as soon as he had enough energy to do so.

Sighing, he curled back up and snuggled down with the bear pillowed in his arms-what? It was to protect it! The little creature had the calming scent of his host and it was because of this that he found himself easily relaxing, taking deep slow breaths from through his nose.

Even if you asked him now, Virgil would not be able to tell you how fast he fell asleep. All he knew was that he fell fast, hard and into a deep sleep.

-----

"Where is it?!"

"Where is it?!"

Thomas was frantic, searching up and down for it but yet it was no where insight.

"I know I didn't lose it, so where the heck did it go?!"

"Where did what go kiddo?"

At the sudden voice the manifestor jumped but calmed when he realized who it was.

"Patton, you scared the daylights outta me!"

"Then it's a good thing it's night then, hmm?"

Thomas stopped the destruction of his room in favor of rolling his eyes at the fatherly trait's pun.

"So what on earth are you looking for Thomas? It looks like the hurricane came in here "

The host didn't even notice Roman-

"Indeed, what could possibly be of so much importance to you that you saw it fit to destroy what was once your room?"

Nor Logan.

"Look, if I tell you guys you promise not to laugh?"

"Sure thing champ, this is a very supportive environment, none  of us are going to laugh at you, promise"

Thomas could easily believe Patton but he had to double check on the other two. Once he received their affirmations he explained that he was looking for his stuffed bear, one he couldn't  sleep without.

"Why don't you ask Virgil?"

Morality gasped.

"Roman, I'm surprised at you! What makes you think he would have stolen it?!"

The Prince held up his arms in a placating manner.

"Woah, woah, I was just saying that he might know where you put it, he usually keeps track of where you put things in general and since you're so frantic about it...well"

"Alright fine, I kinda...sorta see your point Roman, I'll ask him- Anxiety!"

Thomas frowned before quickly blushing when realizing his slip up.

"Virgil!"

This time there was a small 'woosh' accompanying the presence of the Purple wearing personality. The only odd thing was that Virgil didn't appear standing in a corner and grumbling like he usually did.

Instead he was curled up on Thomas' bed, deeply asleep and cuddling the bear he was searching for.

----

"Aww, poor thing's really tuckered out"

"Should we wake him?"

"I don't think so-"

"But he has the bear, I thought you said he wouldn't steal it?"

"Let's not jump to conclusions Roman"

"I'm trying my best not to nerd but what other conclusion is there?"

"Let's find out then, shall we-"

"Wait Pat I don't think we should wake him-"

"You're the one who suggested it first kiddo- Virgil, Virgil, oh Viiirgil~"

The youngest trait began to stir, brow furrowing at the light shaking of his shoulder. When his eyes finally opened the persona jolted, very surprised to have been woken up in a different location than were he first fell asleep in.

"Um?"

Thomas winced, the emo looked both extremely startled and confused.

"Sorry Verge, I was trying to find my bear, none of the others had seen it so I wanted to ask you and well... now you're here", the host trailed off rubbing his neck sheepishly.

Virgil blinked and then sat up, only to almost fall flat on his back again.

"Woah, you ok?"

Anxiety held a hand to his head but nodded anyway. "Yeah, I'm fine, just tired", he mumbled before blinking again. After a few seconds of rapid blinking he gave up and began rubbing his eyes.

"Ok...and what about the bear?" Questioned Roman.

"Yeah", mirrored Thomas, "how did you end up with the bear?"

All four of them were staring at the emo but Virgil hardly noticed, he was too busy rubbing his eyes.

"Oh, tha-*yawn* I was falling asleep - fell asleep actually- for a few moments, not wanting to end up stuck here I teleported to my room and accidentally ended up taking it with me. I was going to bring it back as soon as I could but I kinda *yawn* fell asleep again"

"Yeah, I can see that", chuckled the host.

Anxiety frowned for a bit trying to figure out what Thomas meant but when he pointed to his head he realized what he meant. Virgil's hair was-in the nicest term possible-a complete disaster of a mess.

Groaning softly, the emo attempted to make his hair a bit neater by raking his fingers through it but eventually gave up.

The others laughed.

----

"Can you get back kiddo?"

"Doubt it, hey Princey wanna carry me back?"

"I can if you want me to, you probably don't weigh a thing"

"Of course he weighs something Roman, it's illogical to say such even if Virgil has a small figure"

"Ugh, for the last time, that's too literal Lo-"

"Wait, what are you guys talking about?!"

The four trait's seemingly just noticing that they had ignored him, turned to their host.

"Verge here, doesn't really have enough energy to return to the mindscape on his own so he was going to ask Princey to take him back"

"Or you can always do it Dad, we don't want a certain someone to get their Royal knickers in a twist"

"Hey! I take offense to that!"

Thomas and Logan shared a look.

"Uh, why don't you just stay out here for the night instead?"

Virgil's eyes went wide.

"O-out here?"

"Yeah, sure, heck you can even stay with me, the bed's big enough for all of- hey why don't you all stay?"

"Yay snuggle party!"

"I'm in!"

"I see no harm in partaking"

"Verge? Are you gonna stay?"

"I-i guess? If you're sure-"

"Course I'm sure! I'll go get some extra blankets!" With that the host ran off only to speedily return with a small handful of colourful blankets.

----

It took them a while to get settled comfortably, mostly because they kept switching positions and it turned into a game of  "who wants to stay in the middle".

Eventually they calmed down and found a decent arrangement. Roman on one end, then Thomas, Virgil, Patton and then Logan on the other end.

"Goodnight, guys"

"Goodnight Thomas"

"Night Logan"

"Good night Patton"

"Good night Roman"

"Pleasant dreams Padre"

"Good night Virgil"

...

"Virgil?"

The others looked over to the emo in the middle- and then smiled.

Virgil was already asleep, curled up with the bear still in his arms.

----

When morning came the next day, Joan and Talyn entered the apartment and were greeting with the he smell of breakfast and the sight of Patton cooking, Roman eating and Logan reading the hehe newspaper.

"Morning guys, where's the Thomas?"

"He's in his room", as we're the three simultaneously.

Everyone blinked in shock for a moment before shaking their heads. Joan and Talyn headed quietly towards their friend's room.

Gently pushing open the door they peaked in and had to stifle their chuckles at the sight.

Virgil was peacefully asleep, curled up with his head on  his hosts' stomach, resembling nothing short of a purple emo koala.

Thomas, who was a wake shushed them with his free hand.

Joan giggled, "you know, that puts a whole new meaning to the whole 'my anxiety wouldn't let me out of bed tody' thing"

The manifestor rolled his eyes at them.

Talyn jumped to his defense, or well...tried to.

"Don't worry thomas, I think it's kinda cute"

Joan turned towards their date-mate with an evil grin, "true, but not as cute as you"

Talyn pouted at them.

"I am not cute, I am small and I am threatning!"
