After they'd gotten back into the car, (Virgil very thankful for the gummy bears) they all decided to get together and play a game, so Virgil took his headphones off and put his phone away, because he was a respectful young man, and if the adults were trying to make him more comfortable, he was going to play along. Even though his idea of being comfortable was staring out of the window, listening to Evanescence, and avoiding any eye contact or social interaction. Even worse, the 'game' they spoke of was less of a game, really, and more of a Q&A, get to know you type of thing. They all would ask each other questions, and answer honestly.

"Why don't you go first, kiddo?" Patton questioned his son, "I bet you're just dying to get to know Logan better" he pushed. Virgil had decided, right in that moment, that he had never wanted to kill his father more.

"Uhm. Okay" Virgil mumbled, because cursing out his dad was wrong. He fiddled anxiously with the hem of his sleeve as he tried to come up with a question. He hated being put on the spot—how was he supposed to think of a question while he was overthinking? He realized he'd been silent for far too long, so reached for the low-hanging fruit, "So, Logan. How did you meet my dad?" He asked anxiously, knowing that it was a basic bitch question, but he didn't have anything better to ask him about.

Logan raised his brow at that. He didn't know that Virgil had any interest in knowing those types of things. Though, he decided that maybe it would be good for Virgil to know. It wasn't like he wanted it to be kept a secret anyway, "Well, we actually met at a coffee shop downtown—I think that one of Patton's friends worked there. It was a quaint little shop, and we took interest in each other as friends."

"Awe, that was quite a while ago—you were so distracted that you bumped right into me and spilt your coffee all over me! Good thing it was iced, or you probably would've felt ten times worse!" Patton chuckled, smiling fondly at the memory.

"That's such a cliche and basic way to meet" Virgil smirked, trying to picture the moment in his head. It had to have been so awkward.

"Well, it was perfect to me" Patton smiled, a soft look on his face, like he was reminiscing on the moment, "strange coincidence is, we actually worked in the same building for our job. We never really noticed we worked with each other until afterwards. For a long time, we were just work buddies. Never really talked outside of that."

Logan nodded, "Yes, and while I wish we could have taken a romantic liking to each other a bit earlier, I wouldn't have the way we met any other way. It was actually quite interesting. You were so flustered, you insisted that it was your fault, so you bought me a replacement coffee and we had our first little coffee date before we even knew we wanted to date each other" he recalled, smiling as well.

"Okay enough mushy stuff, I might vomit" Virgil joked, crinkling his nose, "Dad, quick ask a question." He wasn't all that opposed to the mushy stuff—he could admit that. What he didn't like was how fondly Logan and Patton were looking at each other. How much pure, genuine love Logan held for his dad. He felt irrationally jealous. He knew it was petty, but he was trying to make Logan out in his mind to be some emotionless, stoic man who was going to swoop in and take up all his father's attention.

He didn't want to like Logan. But the more they talked, the more Virgil realized that he really was a good man, with only the purest intentions. He felt a pit in his stomach at the thought that his dad was going to start focusing more and more attention on Logan. Why wouldn't he, when Logan was probably the first good thing to come into his life? Virgil couldn't help but feel like a burden. He knew raising him alone was stressful. He also knew that Patton loved him. But when something as good as a perfect boyfriend fell into your life, it was going to get easier and easier to neglect your kid, and—

"Okay. Hm....Logan! What was your childhood like?" Patton questioned.

And he was pulled back into reality. He let out a quiet, shaky breath. For Christ's sake, Virgil, pull yourself together. They were playing a game. It was supposed to be fun and relaxed, not overwhelm him and cause a panic attack! He paid attention to Logan, waiting for an answer.

Logan gripped the steering wheel harder, only tensing at the question, "why do you want to know?"

"Because, you've never told me!" Patton pouted, "open up about your mysterious past!" Virgil had no idea how his father could be so oblivious to social cues that he couldn't tell that Logan was clearly uncomfortable about the question and probably had some serious childhood trauma.

Logan rolled his eyes, "Patton. Honestly, my childhood was pretty boring. I have literally nothing to show for it, I was so lame."

"Not true!" Patton gasped, "you were the top of your class!"

"You asked me about about my childhood, not my teenage years!" Logan countered.

"It kinda goes hand in hand" Patton said, "but seriously, no science fair project wins in elementary? No clubs or anything?"

He shook his head, "I won every science fair project, thank you very much, and I was in some clubs, but band took up a lot of my time in high school. I was the drum major junior and senior year."

"You were the drum major?" Patton asked, his eyes widening, "woah!"

"These hands are known for their precision" Logan told him.

"Yeah they are—"

"OKAY! Next question!" Virgil cried, plugging his ears as the adults laughed at him.

They continued the game until they ran out of questions to ask each other. They figured out a lot of stuff about each other, and Virgil actually felt much more comfortable than he did before, and began to relax, releasing his tense shoulders. There was nothing to be anxious about, Logan was fine. He liked astronomy, and conspiracy theories, and dinosaurs. He was interesting, and knew a lot of cool facts. He seemed to like Virgil as well, not just entertaining him because he was Patton's kid. It was nice.

He opened up his phone and checked to see if he had any texts, because he had been interacting with Logan way too much and needed to shut down before he exploded. And sure enough—he did have messages from the group chat. Roman, Remus, and Janus had an argument ten minutes earlier about why frogs shouldn't be used in toilet rituals because they'd offend the gods of sewer water.

Virgil rolled his eyes, wondering how he'd gotten so caught up in his friends insanity that he actually did know that he could fully well argue that frogs, in fact, would anger the sewer water gods—but he didn't bother acknowledging their texts, and instead began to tell them what he was doing, because they did tell him before he'd left that morning that they wanted all the details about Logan.

Virgil: Guys, I think I was worried for nothing bc Logan is actually pretty chill. I learned a lot of stuff about him today

Janus: Wow really? He seemed pretty cold to me with his straight posture and robotic face. Istg he has never slouched in his life (before u ask i was stalking him 4 u)

Virgil: STOP. LMAO I almost pissed myself earlier bro dont make me laugh im still trying to be edgy from that 😭😭😭 thankfully Logan wasn't upset or annoyed that we had to stop the car early for me. Well, mostly because dad took the blame but still, he was chill

Remus: LMAO you almost pissed your pants the first day you got to know him?

Virgil: oml stfu, you don't know what it's like to have a bladder disability

Roman: bruh

Remus: Roman shut up and stop saying bruh

Roman: I feel like i'm that one annoying neighborhood kid who everyone only hangs out with because their parents forced them too.

Remus: Yep

Virgil: uhm because you are, lmao ??

Janus: You're just now realizing that?

Roman: WOW I didn't know you guys hated me

"Hey Virgil!" Patton chirped from the front seat, "be nice to Roman!"

"Wait how the hell—HECK! Heck...did you know?" Virgil questioned.

Patton raised his brow at the curse word, but brushed it off because he'd corrected himself, "I know all."

Virgil: Holy shit My dad just told me to be nice to Roman I think he has one of those text spying app things bc how tf did he know that was crazy

Janus: bruh

Roman: why does he get to say bruh?!

Remus: tbf we're ALWAYS mean to Roman so if you're typing there is a 99% chance ur roasting him

Virgil: actually ur so right.

Virgil: Logan's hungry hippo self is talking about how we're going to stop for lunch soon, so I better weigh in before they choose something like burger king

Janus: imagine roasting burger king

Remus: HUNGRY HIPPO LMFAOOO

Virgil: Damn we're going to one of those dine in sushi places.

Roman: what's so bad about that? Ur big back ahh loves sushi

Virgil: -_- Roman I will end ur life istg. Also you KNOW how i am, it's just so embarrassing to get up and walk to the bathroom because EVERYONE knows!

Remus: nobody cares THAT MUCH about you going to the bathroom

Janus: Yeah, and if they do than that's creepy and they def have a piss kink, soooo

Virgil: you're right.

Remus: how long has it been since you last went to the bathroom, anyway?

Virgil: twenty minutes

Remus: okay. Do you have to pee?

Virgil: yeah only a bit but it's useless to ask to stop because i'll only pee for like three seconds, I swear, the smallest drop always feels like so much more

Janus: Okay, but just make sure you don't over estimate how long you can hold it.

Roman: Yeah it's so sad when you wet yourself, it feels like a cloud of gloom just looms over our heads, it's a very pitiful thing to witness

Janus: Roman stfu before I drive to your house

Roman: oh, i'm so scared. Think ur so high and mighty bc ur the first one to get ur license. Besides yr at target w my dad rn, Aint none of yall can beat me up tf

Remus: I live with you.

Roman: .

Roman: HELPN AHHJ

Virgil: I think Roman just died

Janus: I hope so

Virgil: welp, Logan and dad are telling me that we're almost there, so I guess i'll just go now

Janus: bye Virgil!! Have a good day, ok?

Virgil: anything for you

Everyone in the chat said their goodbyes to him, and then he turned off his phone and put it away in his backpack. He didn't exactly know why, but he wasn't the kind of person who liked to put his phone in his back pocket, he was too worried about dropping it.  He didn't necessarily like leaving it in his backpack either in case he lost the whole backpack, so he usually just left his backpack in the car. That wasn't any better either, though, because what if the car got stolen?

Patton had told him that the thought was completely absurd because the car needed a very specific set of keys to even get into, let alone to completely drive off with! Though the thought was there, and he couldn't help but to feel anxious about it. If he had to keep his phone on him, he'd wear pants that had pockets that you could button in the front.

He took off his seatbelt as they pulled up and parked at the sushi place, and when Virgil was asked what he wanted, and he replied with, "as long as it has crab meat and yum yum sauce on it, i'll be fine."

"Basic" Patton muttered, smirking when Virgil glared at him.

He did indeed end up ordering a very basic roll, but used his angsty teen glare to make sure that his dad didn't comment, because it was still good nonetheless. While they ate, they talked about a bunch of random things. They were basically just joking around, and making casual conversation. Virgil was still very reserved and quiet, but it wasn't his normal 'i'm going to cry myself to sleep if you look at me one more time' type of nervous, it was a regular amount of reserved.

The subject of families was brought up, and Virgil didn't have much to say in that regard. He hadn't ever really asked about his mother—he'd assumed he was adopted, actually. He was very surprised at age 9 when the news was told to him that he wasn't adopted instead of the other way around. He brought it up, figuring Logan might get a chuckle out of it.

"Yeah, I kind of always knew dad was gay, because he never exits out of his safari tabs" he gave his father a pointed look, who just blushed, "so that lead me to believe I was adopted. And when he told me several years ago that I wasn't—it was quite a shock."

"You didn't see the resemblance?! We have the same nose!" Patton exclaimed, "and the same issue-"

"I know I know! I was like nine!" Virgil laughed, "I don't know much about my mom—didn't she like, freak out and leave?" Virgil asked.

Patton sighed, "yeah, I told her I was gay the day we got back from the hospital, and she left. She didn't even try to reason. I mean, I hoped we could continue to be friends, but she just left. It's fine, she was really toxic...she kind of pressured me into—well—son, have I ever told you how babies are made?"

"Oh my god, dad, do NOT-"

Logan chuckled a little bit, "Patton, the birds and the bees talk is long overdue at this point-you're supposed to give your kids the basics when they become old enough to be curious. Depending on maturity, it could be anywhere between 9-14 years old. But I agree, Patton. Sally was an awful woman. Good riddance."

Viirgil didn't really have an opinion on his mom—he didn't ever know her. Maybe if he asked his dad about what she was like he'd be able to figure out how he felt, but...he did kind of feel upset about it. His mom just left. Even though she and Patton had broken up, he could still have at least known her. Had a relationship with her. He supposed it was fine, though. It saved him from having to go to one parent for the weekdays and another for the weekend. He didn't have to do any of that, or worry about any of that stressful adult stuff. He just had his dad, and he was happy with it. Besides, his mother didn't sound like a good person anyways.

Her not wanting to be in his life told him all that he needed to know.

Once they'd finished up their more depressing conversation, they got back into the more interesting lighthearted stuff. Virgil and Logan got so into their conversation about what could possibly be at the end of outer space, that they didn't even notice when Patton slipped away to go use the restroom. They didn't even realize that he came back.

"What if it doesn't end? What if it just goes on forever?" Virgil asked, "like, it feels unlikely that the universe just has a barrier around it that just makes it stop-plus, light from other galaxies probably hasn't reached us yet, so there could be so many more galaxies beyond what we could ever even assume was the end of space!"

Patton smiled at the gleam in his son's eyes. He always got so excited talking about space. It had been that way since he was a kid.

"I don't think we'll ever know the answer to this, or, at least not for a long time" Logan said with a small smile. It wasn't very often that people understood or even cared about his ramblings, so talking with Virgil about it was cool.

"Yeah..but that won't stop me from theorizing about it!"

Patton interrupted, "Okay my little space kiddo's, I think it's about time we leave the check and hit the road again. We're going to go sight see at a museum! It has a lot of interesting facts and stuff about outer space and dinosaurs-"

"Dinosaurs?!" Virgil gasped excitedly before blushing and coughing, "I mean-um-what am I, two? Pfft, imagine being excited by dinosaurs-"

"Awe Virgil, it's okay to be interested in stuff! You've always loved learning about things like this. It's one of the many reasons I thought that you and Logan would get along. You're both very intelligent."

"Thanks dad" Virgil smiled as they walked out and got back into the car. Virgil got in, buckled up, and they were off. But Virgil had forgotten to do something very important before he left.

He hadn't used the bathroom.

He should've at least realized he had to go-even if he had been too embarrassed to say anything, but that wasn't even the case! He had genuinely not even realized he had to go! But it had been about two hours since he had last gone, which was, for him, really pushing it.

So he plugged his headphones into his phone, and turned on some Panic! At The Disco, still not realizing he had to go. He opened his texting app and saw that Janus and Remus were talking. Roman wasn't online, so that was odd. Maybe he was at a theater rehearsal-though he didn't really care much because Roman was a big boy and he could handle himself.

He scrolled up to see what they were talking about, and saw that they were yelling at each other because Remus had actually knocked out Roman earlier when he made fun of Virgil, and he was still unconscious.

Virgil: Omfg.

Remus: oH HI

Janus: Virgil, we think Roman's dead.

Remus: he can't be, he just said something about not wanting mashed potatoes, he's mumbling

Janus: he's delusional, oh god

Virgil: he should be fine, as long as he doesn't have a concussion or anything

Remus: okay...anyways, Virgil how was it eating out with them

Virgil: oh it was great! We talked a lot about some stuff- outer space and my mom and Logan's family, it was great. I'd rather eat out roman, but yk

Remus: WHAT THE FVYCKLS WHAT RHE FUCK WHAT THE FUCL

Janus: LMFAOOOO

Virgil shifted in his seat and realized something with wide eyes and began to panic. As soon as he shifted it was like it all just crashed into him like a heavy wave.

Virgil: oh my god I forgot to use the bathroom before we left the sushi place

Janus: We are not ignoring what u just said but how long has it been since you've gone

Virgil: I dunno-maybe two hours??

Remus: lmao rip the seats

Janus: jesus, hurry and ask to stoP

Virgil: I can't!! We JUST left! Oh my god that's so embarrassing i'm not a little kid!!!!!

Janus: Virgil, if you have to pee you have to pee, you can't control it. And if Logan gets a little annoyed, it's honestly understandable because anyone would probably be annoyed if they had to stop right after getting back on the road, BUT, that doesn't mean he gets to to be a dick about it.

Remus: yeah, theres a difference from being a dick and being annoyed

Janus: Hurry up and ask 2 stop before its too late

Virgil: I can't i'm literally about to cry, it's too nerve wracking-you guys know I hate asking for things, it's so horrible

Janus: you have a good excuse though you didn't know you needed to go

Virgil: you're right okay let me just work up the courage to ask-go back to yelling at remus, bye

Janus: cya

Virgil sighed and paused his music, still pretending to listen to it as he began to think. He really needed to go, and it showed. Thankfully, he wasn't being paid attention to, because Logan and Patton were so deep in conversation. He held himself and bounced around as discreetly as he could without becoming too suspicious.

It was kind of good that he wasn't being paid attention to because he really needed to squirm around. Though, it really sucked at the same time that they were talking, and having such an intense and fun conversation, because he couldn't possibly interrupt to ask for a bathroom break. He'd probably die of shame.

He opened his mouth several times to speak up, but every time, he glanced at Logan, and just clamped his mouth shut. He'd basically just met the guy, and wasn't that comfortable with him, even though they'd had some good-hell, awesome moments. He looked timidly at Logan through the mirror.

He looked relaxed and content as he talked to his father, every now and again chuckling, and making his dad beam.

Logan glanced at Virgil through the rear view mirror after noticing how he was staring. Virgil quickly looked away and blushed.

He took a deep breath, Logan wouldn't judge him, right??

"Hey Logan?" Virgil began. He tensed up when they both went silent, he had their attention now so it was too late to go back, "uh...I need to use the um, the bathroom" he mumbled. And it was extremely obvious that he had to as soon as they looked at him. Hands balled into fists digging into his thighs, legs crossed, and his body slightly bent forward.

Instead of asking, "why didn't you go before we left" or, crying out, "we just left the sushi place!" Logan said something else.

"Oh, of course, i'll reroute to a gas station immediately. I actually forgot to go before we left too, now that i'm thinking of it. " Logan said, "we distracted each other with our amazing conversation" he joked.

Huh. Okay, wow he had been worried for nothing. Logan wasn't upset at all.

"Is there even a gas station nearby?!" Patton asked, clearly more panicked than Logan.

"About fifteen minutes away" Logan said, having already punched a gas station's location into the GPS. He was starting to feel a little nervous at this point as well, because if Patton was fearing for Virgil's ability to hold his bladder, then they may be in danger of an accident.

Patton nodded and Virgil bit back a groan. That was far too long for him to wait! It had already been a long time, and he could barely even move, every squirm made his need a thousand times worse, and he wasn't even sure he'd even be able to get out of the car without his bladder jostling him so bad that he exploded.

So yeah, Virgil was panicking pretty bad. He wasn't sure he'd make it, and it wouldn't be a shock to him if he didn't. He usually never made it in these types of situations, but he hoped he would because if he wet himself in front of Logan, he'd probably never forgive himself.

Five minutes passed and with no bathroom in sight, and Virgil's bladder was starting to revolt, dribbling and leaking into his boxers, which were becoming quite damp. Once he let a little bit out, it was impossible to stop, especially for someone with such a weak, puny bladder.

After his boxers were completely soaked through with his leaks, a huge wet patch began to form on the front of his jeans. It was warm and wet, and felt so good to release. He could barely sit still, writhing in his seat and against his hands, he was tearing up, and Patton was worried, constantly glancing back at him to make sure he was okay. It was very clear that he wasn't though.

When Logan finally glanced back, he noticed the dark patch on the crotch of his pants, and knew that it was probably uncomfortable. Actually, he knew that it was uncomfortable, because Virgil still had a bladder that was practically over filled, and spilling out of him.

"I can pull over and you can go in the woods" Logan suggested.

Patton actually laughed at his boyfriend, and Virgil would have too if he didn't have to pee so bad it hurt.

"Logan, he can't. Trust me...I have tried. He gets way too nervous and works himself up, and he gets worried about someone seeing, and it's just a mess. He could be actively wetting his pants and still not be able to pee in the woods" Patton explained.

Logan nodded, and a few more minutes passed, and Virgil just could not hold it in anymore, and as his bladder began to slowly release without his permission, he began to mutter several 'i'm sorry's' and 'nononono's'

His piss slowly began to spread across his pants, soaking into the fabric, and onto the cushioned seat below him. The warm liquid pooled beneath his ass, but not long before soaking into the seat. Some of it ran down his legs and onto the floor, and god, was it audible. Logan heard the spray hissing against Virgil's jeans, and heard it patter down on the floor's hard surface.

"Virgil...?" Patton asked quietly, turning around slowly to see his son covering his face, shaking violently as he cried silently and wet his pants. "Oh-Virgil-honey, it's okay! It's-"

"No, it's not okay" Virgil snapped, but without any anger or force behind his voice. It was more panicked and distraught, "i'm so disgusting" he whispered brokenly, his voice cracking multiple times.

"No, no, Virgil, it's completely fine, accidents happen, and it's actually very common for these sort of things to happen on road trips" Logan said, trying to ease the tension and show Virgil that yes, it was okay for him to have an accident, and yes, it did happen to others.

The car went awkwardly silent after that, the only reply Logan getting being sniffles and more sounds of pee hitting the floor, until it slowed and tampered off.

Soon after that, they actually pulled into a nearby car wash instead of that gas station, so that the car could be cleaned. Virgil took out some clothes and got out of the car, looking down with a red face, hurrying off to hide out in the bathroom. Logan and Patton just talked about it, Patton going into more depth about Virgil's bladder, what it's like, and to be patient with him. Logan nodded along, and told Patton that it was fine, and that he was okay with it.

It actually took quite a while for Virgil to get back. So long, in fact that they'd finished cleaning the car before he even got back. Logan got really worried, so while Patton finished up with putting away the cleaning tools, Logan strolled off towards the bathroom to check on Virgil.

"Hey..Virgil?" Logan asked as he entered the bathroom. He heard a small sniffle from a stall nearby, and his eyes softened, "Virgil—hey, it's alright, come on..you can come out, it's fine."

Virgil took a little while, probably to compose himself Logan thought, but he did eventually come out in a new outfit, pulling his hoodie sleeves over his hands, and folding his arms over his chest, hugging himself slightly. He bit his bottom lip and stared at the floor like it was the most interesting thing that he'd ever seen in his entire life, before Logan slowly draped an arm around his shoulder, and told him that he wasn't disgusted, or annoyed, or going to judge him.

Virgil relaxed into Logan's touch after a while, and muttered, "thank you."

Logan smiled, ruffling Virgil's hair, before going back out, and getting back into the car with him, handing him a bag of gummy bears.

Logan smiled at him, and Virgil smiled back.
