Help
I'd like to quickly apologize for not doing this sooner. I know it's been months since you requested this, but I was really busy with school and I didn't really have any motivation to write, but now I do! So without further ado..let's start the story.
And a BIG thank you to @theshadow124 for requesting this! I hope it was worth the wait! Again I'm very sorry for taking so long to make this!
Virgil's POV:
They were just done with the intrusive thoughts video and Virgil was doing fine. Or he would be if everyone would stop yelling. He heard it as soon as he sunk down into the living room in Thomas' head. It was mainly between Remus and Roman with Patton trying desperately to calm them down.
"You just had to come in didn't you?"
"Well it was obvious you weren't going to say anything and Deceit got to come and visit! Couldn't I just pop in and visit my bro-"
"Visit me?! You hit me over the head with your stupid Morning Star! What kind of weapon name is that?"
Patton turned to face Remus, clearly trying to settle this. "Kiddos! Let's all take a deep breath and calm down. Remus you shouldn't have hit Roman-"
"Ha!"
Then Patton turned to Roman. "But, you shouldn't have been so rude when you came back here. You're brothers! You shouldn't fight like this."
"He started it Patton! And you can't honestly be calling me rude! He hit me over the head! He could've killed me! And he attacked Logan!"
"If I wanted to hurt you..."
The rest of the conversation was fading to fuzz as Virgil slowly slid to the floor. His knees came up to his chest and he wrapped his arms around them to try and make himself seem smaller. He could feel his breathing getting heavier and distantly felt Thomas' start to mirror his own. What Virgil could see was that a black and green blur—Remus—, a light blue and grey blur—Patton—, and a white and red blur—Roman— turned to face the monitor that showed Thomas' view of the world. He jumped when the light blue and grey blur and the white and red blur ran to the console. He could feel their worry and it just made his attack worse, he made Thomas anxious and now he was worrying Patton and Roman. He was horrible and he should've never come ba—
"Vir...can you....me...I need...breath...me.." despite the fuzz clouding his brain he could see a black and dark blue blur sit down in front of him and barely make out the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"Can...touch...once...yes...twice...no...take...time.." Logan..it was Logan. Virgil's heart rate slowed a little at the recognition, but not by much. It took all of his willpower to tap one of his fingers against his arm once—a code Logan made with Virgil for when he couldn't talk during his panic attacks so Virgil wouldn't worry about being touched without wanting to be or not being touched when he needed to be. Suddenly a cool hand touched the top of his knees and another one slowly grabbed one of Virgil's hands, pulling it gently away from his knees and against Logan's chest.
"L-Lo...?" He could hear his own voice come out strangled and wrong, but Logan's face was close enough that he could see the concern in his eyes and see the small smile that dawned his face at Virgil's voice.
"Yes. Can you breath with me? We can go as slow as we need to?" Logan's voice was slower this time and just soft enough to be heard by Virgil. Virgil's ginger tapped once against Logan's chest and the small smile widened slightly.
"Good. In for four.....hold for seven...and then out for eight..." Logan paused to do the breathing exercise with Virgil. Virgil could barely get through the first four counts and Logan just went through it with him again and again until Virgil's breathing was in check, his eyes however were still fuzzy his brain wasn't quite comfortable grasping reality again.
Logan leaned even closer, eyes narrowing in assessment before pulling back. "Okay..were going to do one more thing okay?"
Virgil's nod was barely a nod at all with how little he moved his head, but Logan could see it with how closely he was watching the anxious male.
"I need you to find five things you can see..take as long as you need.."
Virgil looked around, his eyes darting quickly around the room. "You, couch, f-floor, Patton, and Roman." Sometime during his panic attack Remus seemed to have left and Patton and Roman's attention was directed at Virgil and Logan, worry clear on their faces.
His eyes found Logan's again and smiled briefly at the small nod from the smarter trait. "Good job. Four things you can feel."
Virgil's brain was slowly becoming clearer. "My jeans, your shirt, cold floor, and warm hoodie..."
"Excellent. Three things you can hear."
Virgil let out a shaky breath. "Your voice..my voice..and your heartbeat."
Logan's face flushed lightly at the last one before clearing his throat. "You're almost done. Two things you can smell."
Virgil was slower to answer this one, but when he did the flush that was on his cheeks—that was covered by his foundation—spread to his ears. "Your breath and cologne.."
Logan's smile seemed to widen at that. "Good. One more for me. What's one thing you can taste."
Virgil let out a soft breath and his shoulders relaxed. "My saliva.." he blinked a few times and then when he looked around his vision and brain were clear again.
Logan squeezed Virgil's hand that was still holding it against his own chest before letting it go and Virgil felt his heart skip a beat. "Good. You did extremely well, Virgil. I'm proud of you."
Virgil rolled his eyes slightly. "Thanks nerd. Can you bring me to my room..? I'm not sure how steady my legs will be."
Logan nodded and stood, reaching his hand down to help Virgil up. When the smaller male did take it he pulled Virgil to his feet.
Suddenly, Patton was right by Virgil's side, giving him a quick but tight hug. "I'm so sorry for getting you worried, kiddo. Thank you for helping him Logan."
Roman was in front of Virgil just as quickly as Patton was. "I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry as well. I'd hate to cause my comrade in battle to get an attack on my account."
Virgil just shook his head. "It's not your guys' fault. I just wasn't expecting it to be that loud or for me to be that open to an attack about it or I would've just sunk down into my room."
Logan wrapped an arm around Virgil's back and cleared his throat. "Speaking of his room. I should get Virgil there now."
Slowly but surely, Logan and Virgil made their way to Virgil's room. Once they reached the door, Logan hesitated before opening the door.
"You do remember my room won't effect you as quickly as it does when Thomas was in there. It'll take at least a day for any change to be made in your attitude."
Logan nodded as he led Virgil to his bed, helped him to lie down and made his way back to the door.
"Stay...please..?" Virgil cringed at the sound of his own voice. It sounded weak and desperate. He was extremely pathetic sometimes.
Logan had just reached the door handle when Virgil spoke. He turned his head to face Virgil. "Of course. Let me close the door and I'll be right there."
Virgil hummed in acknowledge and closed his eyes, getting under the covers before he felt the bed dip beside him. He cracked open one eye and looked up to see Logan right next to him, an arm moving to wrap around Virgil and pull the smaller guy closer. Virgil laid his head on Logan's chest and closing his eyes again.
They popped open a few minutes later when he felt a kiss being pressed to his forehead. "Logan..?" He lifted his head off Logan's chest to look at Logan's flushed face.
"I apologize. I thought you were asleep." He adjusted his glasses and looked away from Virgil. "I understand if that made you uncomfortable and you wish for me to go. Or to get Roman or Patton to stay with you."
Virgil sighed and leaned closer to Logan's face. "Lo. Look at me." It was more of a statement than a request, but—as always—it was implied that Logan could say no.
Logan turned to look back at Virgil and seemed to freeze when he realized how much closer Virgil moved.
Virgil slowly reached out and cupped Logan's cheek, hand shaking slightly. Before he could think about it anymore he leaned closer and kissed Logan quickly. He pulled away a second later, moving away from Logan with wide eyes. "I-I'm sorry..! I don't know what I w-was thinking..!"
Logan cupped Virgil's cheek and pulled him back so Virgil was curled against Logan. "I didn't mind it. In fact I enjoyed it."
Virgil could feel his heart stop in his chest as he looked up at Logan with wide eyes. "Oh.."
Logan smiled slightly and nodded. "Now. I think you should get some rest and we can talk more about this when you wake up."
Virgil nodded and laid his head on Logan's chest again. "'Mkay..only if you'll be my boyfriend.." his voice was suddenly laced with sleep as his eyes started to close. The last thing he heard before he fell asleep was Logan's response.
"I'd love to be your boyfriend, Virgil."
