Tbh I really like how this turned out.

Virgil POV

Roman dragged me on an adventure, saying 'I needed to get out of the house, that I'm too pale' . Screw you Roman. I huff angrily following Roman, to what looked like a cave. He looks inside the cave then motioned for me to follow.

"Ahh, Roman you brought a little friend. Ahh Anxiety, the fight or flight side of the mind." A... dragon says once we are inside the cave. Roman steps in front of me, his sword in his hand.

"Wicca, leave Virgil out of this. I just need a phoenix feather. Then we will be out of your hair." Roman Growls at the Dragon, Wicca.

"Okay how about a trade. You may have a feather, but Virgil will also leave with this." I freeze as Wicca says this, I DO NOT want what she is selling "Anxious of everything, but speaks little of his mind, You will only be understood by the smartest of you all."

As Wicca finished her speech a glow formed around me, causing me to close my eyes. When I open them nothing has changed but Roman is facing me, and Wicca is laying on the floor bleeding.

"You okay Emo?"

Romans eyes widen, he grabs my arm and sinks us to the commons. I'm still panicking when Patton and Logan walk in.

"Hey kiddos whats up?" Patton asks as he notices my panic.

"Virgil got cursed." Roman Yells Panicked causing my panic levels.

"01010010 01101111 01101101 01100001 01101110 00101110 00101110 00101110 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01101000 01100101 01101100 01110000 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101111 01110000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00101110 00001010" I yell in panic, Pats and Logan eyes widen in surprise. Logan regained his composure.

"It seems he is talking in binary code. A coding system using the binary digits 0 and 1 to represent a letter, digit, or other character in a computer or other electronic device. What did you do Roman? Also he asked you to stop yelling." We all look to Logan in shock. I process what he said.

I almost continded to ask questions, when Logan grabs my shoulder and lifts my chin so I 'll look at him.

"Vi calm down. I understand you, so I can help you communicate. Roman did you hear the curse or riddle Wicca put on him? Patton, I need you to make peppermint tea for Virgil." Logan took charge over the chaos. Roman noddes, Patton runs off toward the kitchen, and Logan leads me to the couch making me sit down. He then summons a notebook and a black pen.

" We went into the cave to collect a phoenix feather, but wicca spotted us. I told her we didn't want to fight but she decided that Virge needed to have a 'gift' before we left. She said 'Anxious of everything, but speaks little of his mind, You will only be understood by the smartest of you all.' His eyes fogged over and I couldn't see him as he was covered in light." Roman pauses taking a breath, Patton enters the room a tray of steaming mugs in his hand.

Patton hands each one of us a mug Roman and Logan saying thank you. "01010100 01101000 01100001 01101110 01101011 01110011 00100000 01000100 01100001 01100100 00101110 00001010 00001010" But I cringed as it came out in 1s and 0s.

"I fought Wicca getting her to the point of surrender, when the light dulled down. He looked okay but when I asked if he was okay, all I heard was 1s and 0s. I freaked out and teleported us here." Roman looked down ashamed, I pat his shoulder. I give him a small smirk when he looks up at me.

"Well... Wicca must have realized that I would be the only one to understand him. It sounds like she wants Virgil to speak up when he needs something, so she made it so only I would understand him so he has to ask for my help." Logan says after a few seconds. I blush of course, the only one to understand me now just so happened to be my crush. Yes I have a crush on Logan, but I mean look at him, he's so freaking smart, hot, nerdy, and he acts all tough but really he's a big sweetheart.

"You're going to use this a lot huh? Well Roman Vi just told me to tell you 'your super stupid.'" I giggle as Roman's face turns red with rage, before he could move I bolted upstairs into my room.

Timeskip~

I'm done with not being able to communicate with anyone but my crush. I am losing my mind, and it's only been a week since I've been cursed. I'm going to kill Princey! We aren't any closer to finding out how to get the curse out.

"Virgil may I come in." Logan asks from outside my room, I'm laying on my bed, face in a pillow.

"01011001 01100101 01100001 01101000 00101100 00100000 01001100 01101111 10000000100110" I say a little too used to the 1s and 0s that came out.

"I noticed you seem more 'down in the dumps' as Patton would say. What is wrong? Is it to do with your speech?" I give him a look that said 'really'. What else would I be 'down in the dumps' about?

"01001001 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100 01101100 01111001 00100000 01101110 01100101 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100110 01100001 01101110 01100111 01101001 01110010 01101100 00100000 01100001 01100010 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01010000 01100001 01110100 00101110 10000000011101"

 Logan stared me down with wide eyes. It took me a second to realize that he heard my last comment. Pretty sure my face exploded into a bright red, tears sprung to my eyes, I try push past him to go... anywhere else. Before I could get 3 steps out of my room Logan grabbed my wrist. I tried to pull my wrist out but he tightened his grip. I tried to use my other hand to pry his hand off, but he just grabbed both my wrist, pinning me to the wall, and my hands held above my head.

"You never let me say anything Vi" Logan says looking down at me, I look anywhere but his face. "If you had you would realize I do feel the same. I don't know emotions very well but I talked to Patton and Roman. I do have a 'crush' on you" I'm pretty sure that I'm bright red, the tears I was holding back left my eyes. Logan let go of my wrist but still stayed close, he wiped the tears off my checks.

"Lo-Logan." I mumble then realize something. "Logan I can.." More tears stream out of my eyes. That curse. I'm finally free.

Logan smiles brightly, his eyes flickering down to my lips. I lean up to him , closing the space between us. When we pull back I can't seem to shake the smile off my face. He smiles back at me, then grabs my hand interlocking my fingers. We go down to the commons, finding Princey sitting on the couch, Patton cuddling his side.

"Princey...You suck." I say.
