TW: self deprecating language, anxiety attack, 

As Virgil's mind continues spewing the nonsensical comments about how much everyone hates him and how much of a failure he is Thomas summons logan in order to help with what must be a serve fever.

Logan popped up in the far corner of the room and without thinking said: Yes thomas?

Thomas: Over here and Virgil is really sick and I think he's having an anxiety attack.

Logan felt Virgil's forehead and nodded to himself  before murmuring incoherent diagnostics. 

Logan then asked: Did he tell you?

Thomas replied quickly: Yes I know everything

Logan: Alright can you summon Patton and don't mention any of it to him though

Thomas nodded before Patton popped up in the room in the corner diagonal from them.

Patton was about to say something but when he saw Virgil he said something else: OH MY GOSH IS HE OKAY WHAT HAPPENED

Logan: Virgil will be fine but I need you to get a bowl of cold water and a rag

Patton sped off quickly out of Thomas' bedroom in search of the items.

Logan: He wasn't this sick when I saw him earlier how did he look when you first saw him?

Thomas: pale and extra anxious but that's not new 

Logan: Hmm... He must have begun taking away your anxiety again whenever theanxiety attack started which is a thing he normally does.

Thomas: He does that every time he has an anxiety attack? 

Logan: Yes, because when Virgil has increased anxiety some of it is passed onto you so when he began getting worse attacks he started blocking it from going to you.

Logan: This is normally fine except that right now he is already really sick and if this anxiety attack lasts for too long  it results could be severe.

Thomas: But I still feel anxious?

Logan: He is right now only unconsciously blocking the anxiety from his attack not other general things.  This is habitual not situational. He could block both at the same time but that also might result severely.  

Patton: I'm back!!

Patton handed the stuff to Logan who wet the rag in the cold water and laid it on Virgil's forehead.

Logan: OH!

Thomas and Patton both looked at him.

Logan: Patton in my room in the white desk, top drawer, on the left there is a bottle with crushed tylonal and next to it a measuring spoon can you go get those. 

Patton nodded before sinking out.

Thomas: You just have crushed tylonal in a drawer?

Logan: Yes, when Virgil has these episodes he can't swallow  pills for fevers and what not so i have to mix it with water in order to administrate it to him.

Thomas: fair enough

Virgil started to mutter barely coherent words which Thomas and Logan could make out as useless, worthless, gullible, hated, antagonistic, and other self deprecating words.

They looked at each other in dismay knowing that they couldn't help their friend more than they were.

When Patton got back Logan mixed the crushed medicine with water and gave it Virgil. Patton then announced that he had to go watch Missy and Pranks and make sure they steered clear of the situation.

Thomas  was still sitting next to Virgil trying to comfort him to the best of his abilities. The shaking and sobbing had stopped but you could still see tears trace their way down Virgil's face and hear quiet incoherent murmurings coming from Virgil.

After a while Virgil's breath completely evened out as he finally fell into a senseless and bland sleep.

Soon Thomas fell asleep as well, leaving Logan to pick up a book and read as he watched over the two figures huddled together silently in the corner.

*****TIme SKip a couple of hours****

Virgil woke up quietly and took a moment to remember the events before he fell asleep. when he did he almost started freaking out again except he saw that Thomas was curled up right next to him. When Logan noticed Virgil was awake he took in a deep breath and started to quietly talk to him. 

Logan: Good morning Virgil. I'm glad to see you've awoken.

Virgil: Good Morning to you to.

Logan: How are you feeling?

Virgil:Fine

Logan sighs inwardly at the lie and continues

Logan: You can't keep doing this Virgil you have to let him take some of the worries.

Virgil: No I'm not going to make him miserable just because of how weak I am...

Logan: You aren't weak just look at how long it took you to collapse carrying all that anxiety and fear anyone else would have faltered instantly.

Virgil: Ya but anyone else would not continuously add more onto their hosts already unbalanced life.

Logan You don't have a choice in that.

Virgil: I do..

Logan: but we have already established you are never going to purposely vanish in order to spare thomas

Virgil: Ya I guess we have

Logan: I'm serious Virgil you need to at least take a break from blocking all of it

Virgil: I..

Logan looks at the floor then back at Virgil thinking carefully about he was going to say before saying

Logan: I'm sorry to guilt trip you...

Virgil looked up at Logan a bit scared of his next words.  As Logan knew that the best way to get Virgil to comply was to guilt trip him and even though Logan hated doing that to his friend he didn't want Virgil to keep hurting himself like this

Logan: but it's for your own good

Virgil: Loga..

Logan cut him off: If you block too much from Thomas you could fall into a coma forcing all of the things that you blocked  to be pushed onto Thomas simultaneously and that is not a painless journey. You want to keel Thomas safe but if you fall into a coma then everything and not just a little will be transferred to him and you know that if transferring thoughts and what not isn't intentional it can cause a lot of pain especially if it's a lot of stuff being transferred...

Virgil sat shocked not saying a word. He was surprised that Logan would guilt trip him like that... it's not like he doesn't already know but he figured if he is careful enough he won't fall into a coma

Logan: You physically and mentally can not protect him from everything.

Virgil:...

Virgil leans silently back against the wall and Logan looked thoughtfully out the window. And much to Logan's dismay when he looked back a few minutes later he saw Virgil with his eyes shut and brow furrowed which he knew meant that Virgil was filtering through all of Thomas' worries and stresses deciding which to let thomas keep and which to block. 

During this 5 minute period of Logan watching Virgil silently sift through stress Thomas was beginning  to wake up. And when he did Virgil didn't notice.  Thomas noticed Logan staring thoughtfully at Virgil.

Thomas: Is he going to be okay

Logan: As of right now yes but he refuses to stop blocking things from you for his own good.

Thomas looks from Virgil to Logan: Can I stop him?

Logan: You can talk to him and convince him to stop but other than that no

Thomas reached over to Virgil, who had his knees pulled to his chest again and was looking at the floor, and put his hand on Virgil's arm. Virgil didn't notice at first but Thomas said his name a few times which pulled him out of his mind.

Thomas: Virgil?

Thomas: Virgil?

Thomas: Vir..

Virgil: Ya thomas?

Thomas: Please stop...

Virgil: stop what?

Thomas: Stop blocking the worries from me.. I don't want you to get any sicker.

Virgil looked at Thomas

Virgil: I can't just let you hear the constant foul nagging of these stupid worries

Thomas: Then why do you let yourself hear them?

Virgil: I'm used to it and you're more important than me

Thomas: No I'm not

Virgil: ya you are

Thomas: Just stop protecting me for a bit and let me protect you

Virgil: ...

Thomas: please

Virgil: I... uh..

Logan suddenly piped up: Virgil if you don't stop I will put you into a medically induced coma myself.

Virgil's eyes widened before he said: You wouldn't dare...

Logan: I would and I will.

Thomas' eyes shifted between the two not knowing where the topic coma came from

Thomas: why would you put him in a coma?

Logan looked at Virgil who shrugged and then Logan started

Logan: If Virgil goes into a coma either through blocking too much or medically induced all of the things he blocked would instantly be pushed onto you.

Thomas: oh

Thomas: Well why haven't we done that already if it keeps Virgil from getting sick?

Virgil: I'm right here..

Logan: It's an extremely painful process for both the host and  aspect

Thomas: oh..

Thomas: Well there has to be a way for you to give me back the anxiety right, Virgil?

Virgil: uh...

Logan: We can't force him into that without extreme pain for both of you as far as i've known.

after Logan said this he almost glared at Virgil as if giving him one last chance

Thomas: Come on virgil please we don't want you to get any sicker

Virgil: I.. wel... uh... I can't give you all this anxiety though

Thomas: Sure you can 

Virgil: ..

Logan: I lied there is a way

Thomas: well what is it

Virgil attempted to pop into the mind space to get away before Logan told Thomas but he wasn't going anywhere  so he looked at Thomas who said

Thomas: You aren't the only one who can block things
