Chapter 40: Work


soooo

this is the last chapter i'll be making in summer.

i'm going to a freaking new school.

send help.

But in all seriousness, I'll be moving to a once/twice a week schedule, sometimes two/three chapters a week, but I doubt it. So yeah, here you go.

          Virgil's POV

     It had been almost a week since the whole "entity" thing. They're amazingly nice. They always comfort and calm me down all the time. I never thought that someone like that would just all of the sudden...appear.

     I could've sworn that the name sounded familiar when they said "Entity." Then again, I could just be paranoid. I probably am, actually. It does trigger some sort of memory, but it's far too blurry to actually understand. I can make out on or two details, though. A class room and one of my-er, Thomas' friends. That's really all.

     I sat down on my bed. I let out a sigh. God, this day was stressful. Right now, I just need a nap...There was a nagging voice in the back of my head. You can't rest now! Think of all the work you have to do! It was right, I did have quite a lot to do.

    "Indecisive?" A voice called. "....S-Stop scaring me, sheesh." I muttered, slightly startled. "Sorry! I'm working on it!" Mors said. "Okay okay, what's up?" I asked, relaxing into my bed a little more. "We heard that you were feeling stressed!" Tap appeared. "Yes, we did hear that from somewhere. Never mind that, though. We wanted to help you!" Lon exclaimed. "Okay, look, if you're going to offer doing the work for me, I don't think that-" "No no, unless of course you wanted us to!" Tap cut me off.

     "We've devised a schedule. If you sleep now, you could get around eight hours of sleep, and will wake up at around seven. You'll start working at eight and then take a break at noon for lunch, then keep working until one. Is that suffice?" Lon suggested. I thought for a moment. "Actually, yeah, that's amazing! Thank you so much!" I said, encasing all of them into a hug.

     "It was no problem, kiddo!" Tap said, happily returning the hug. "God, I actually can't thank you guys enough." I said, pulling away from the hug. "Like they said, it was no trouble at all." Lon said with a shy smile. "You should get to bed." Mors said. "I...I guess I should..." I mumbled. "Yes, you should." Lon chimed in. "It's always optimal to have as much sleep as possible for this schedule."

     "Well, goodnight! See you at seven!" Tap exclaimed before all disappearing. I threw on a band t-shirt and a pair of black sweatpants. I set different alarms and my alarm clock for seven o'clock and threw myself into bed. I scrolled through tumblr and eventually fell asleep.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-

     I slammed my hand on my alarm. Why did I wake up so early again...? .........oh yeah. I threw my blankets off of me and began to get ready. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, threw on my outfit, and headed out of my room. I was surprised Patton wasn't already up. I looked at my phone clock. Oh, 7: 39. Cool, I've got about twenty minutes to eat.

     I didn't feel like actually cooking anything for breakfast, I grabbed a bowl of my Lucky Charms. I ate my breakfast and scrolled through tumblr, until my alarm went off. Oh yeah, I set different alarms. I set my bowl in the sink and headed back to my room. Just as I made my way to my door, a voice interrupted me. "Hey, kiddo! What'cha doing up this early?" Patton asked. "Oh, I...I don't know." I lied. "Oh, okay, well are you hungry? I was gonna make something?" He offered. "Oh no no, I just ate, thanks though." I said. "If you say so, kiddo." He said, walking off to the kitchen.

     I entered my room and immediately got to working. I worked good until twelve, when Patton brought me something to eat, then back to working until one o'clock. I was feeling satisfied with all I had gotten done. Sure, I could've done more, but I can work on that tomorrow.

     "So, you got done that much work today?" Tap asked. "Uh, yeah, do you think I could've don-" "That was a lot of work! How'd you get that much done in that amount of time??" He cut me off. "I....I don't know...I just kinda...went with it." I mumbled. "Well it's still amazing how you got that much done in only a few hours! Anyways, I'll leave you be, kiddo! You should go get a cookie or two, you deserved it!" He exclaimed, disappearing into thin air.

     I headed out of my room and sat myself down on the couch. "Afternoon, Virgil. How'd you sleep?" He asked. "Good." I responded. "When did you get up?" He asked again. "I've been up since seven o'clock. You?" I asked. He was a little shocked at the fact that I was up that early. "Since around nine. Sheesh, I need to step up my game so I can wake you up." He said with a chuckle. He let out a small sigh. "I love you." He said, kissing my cheek. "I love you too." I mumbled.

     "Hey, kiddo! Glad to see you out of your room! What were you even doing in there?" Patton asked. "I was finishing up that work, why?" I asked. "Oh, you could've asked us for help! And I just wanted to make sure you were okay!" Patton said. "Oh, I'd never ask you guys for help with work. It's my work and I don't want to burden you with it." I said. "Oh, but we'd help you, kitten." Roman said. "I know I know, I just...I can do it myself, okay?" I said, standing up from the couch. "We know, but if you ever need help, don't hesitate to come to us."
