Song above if you want to listen to it
Requested by my best online friend Swearingparrot and I've just realised that I've never written Analogic, I don't think, ever. Well that will simply not do. I think this is mostly a snap-shots fic because I can't really string together a cohesive story, sorry.
WARNING: Implied depression

Don't stay awake for too long

"When are you coming home?"

"I'm not sure, Virgil. I'm sorry, I really miss you, but this work trip's taking longer than expected. And it could-"

"Make or break your career, yeah, you've said." Virgil bit the inside of his cheek. "I just miss you, okay Lo? It's lonely and boring here."

"I really am sorry, Virge, I just couldn't pass this up."

"But when are you coming home?" Virgil asked, crossing his legs under himself. "Is there, like, a set date or something?"

"If all goes well, I should be home in five days."

"Five days?" Virgil echoed.

"I know it's a long time love but at the pace I'm working, I could try and get home in three?"

"Logan, you'd better not over-work yourself." Virgil said warningly. "I don't need you becoming Alexander Hamilton because then that would mean that I was Eliza and, well, that didn't end well."

"I've always thought I was more like Burr than Hamilton but I guess Hamilton will do."

Virgil sighed and shook his head, smiling in spite of himself. "That's not what you were meant to take away from this, Lo."

"Wasn't it?" Virgil laughed at Logan's tone. "I think I've got to go, really sorry Virgil."

"That's fine. Sending love?"

"Sending love. Bye."

"Bye." Virgil smiled a little sadly as the phone call ended.

Don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head

"Lo?" Logan jumped at the sleepy voice.

"Virgil? What are you doing up?"

Virgil yawned and rubbed sleep out of his eyes. "I could ask you the same thing. And I will. What are you doing up?"

"I, well, I was just... um, well, you see-"

"Okay, no more laptop." Virgil said, crossing his arms but still looking more cute than intimidating. "You're ability to form sentences has stopped. You need sleep."

"Or coffee."

"I'm not making you coffee at 11 pm, Lo."

"But, consider this."

"Oh, here we go." Virgil muttered.

"If, in fact, we did have coffee that would mean we would be able to stay up and... possibly watch films all night?" Logan said, motioning his arms into a half-shrug. Virgil pointed at Logan.

"Can we watch Guys and Dolls?"

"Uh, sure."

Virgil nodded. "You shut your computer off, I'll get the coffee. Deal?"

Logan smiled. "Deal."

I'll get you up and going out of bed

"Virgil."

Virgil scrunched up his face and kept his eyes closed.

"Virgil."

"No."

"You don't even know what I'm about to say yet."

"Whatever it is, no. I'm sleeping."

Logan laughed and sat down on Virgil's bed. He ran his fingers through Virgil's hair which made the 'sleeping' Virgil smile contentedly.

"You need to get up, sleepy bear."

Virgil shook his head. "No."

"Yes. You need to get up. It's a new day, you get to be productive all over again."

"Nu-uh. No. Nada. Nope. Nein. Never."

"You're spending so much time listing all the different words for 'no' that I've got a feeling that you've been awake for a while." Virgil opened his eyes slightly and squinted at Logan.

"What gave you that idea?"

Logan laughed. "The reason I just said and the fact that your voice is considerably not sleepy. And also that there's my favourite breakfast book on the table. Which I definitely didn't put there last night." Logan smiled softly. "You remembered."

Virgil sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. "Well of course I remembered. Your my boyfriend and it's not that hard a thing to remember. You like reading Agatha Christie's in the morning. Get's your brain going. What?"

"You're really sweet, love." Logan said simply. "You're also awake, which means I was right. Now, you need to get up."

Virgil tried to pull the covers over his head, making Logan laugh even more. "No!"

And I promise that one day I'll feel fine
And I promise that one day I'll feel alright

"Virgil? Virgil, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Why?"

"Can you take your headphones off? You're clearly not listening to any music."

Virgil shook his head.

"Can you look at me?"

Virgil shook his head again. Logan sighed slightly and sat down by Virgil's desk.

"Feeling down?" Virgil nodded. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" Virgil nodded again. "Okay." Logan stood up and kissed Virgil's forehead. "Just remember that I'm always here if you need to talk."

Virgil nodded and hunched his shoulders slightly. "I promise I'll be okay." He mumbled. "One day."

"I know. And a way to do that is talking to someone about this, okay? There's no pressure, just whenever you're ready to talk." Virgil nodded and Logan smiled at him sadly and left.

And I'll make a cup of coffee with the right amount of sugar
How you like it
And I'll make a cup of coffee with the right amount of sugar
How you like it
How you like it


Virgil sighed and jumped off the kitchen counter. He'd been staring at the sugar pot for five minutes, trying to remember how much sugar Logan liked in his coffee. He could remember every single thing that Logan liked... apart from how much sugar he wanted in his coffee.

"Hey Lo?"

"Mhm?"

"Random question that isn't at all related to what I'm doing now but how much sugar do you like in your coffee?"

Logan smiled slightly at his book. "Two teaspoons, as always, Virge."

"Right, yeah, two. Definitely remembered that."

"You're cute, Virge."

"What? I, I am not cute."

"You are." Logan looked up from his book and smiled at Virgil. "When you want to be."

I think I'm going to stop here because I could carry this song-fic on forever and ever but keeping it short and sweet seems like the best idea. Um... the implied depression was based on my own... experiences of depression, I guess, and I'm not diagnosed or anything so... yeah. Anyway, on a lighter note, the fluff fairy visited me in my sleep and gifted me the gift of fluff for this one song-fic, hope you liked it. Hope it was good, Allyster, thank you for requesting :)
Bye,
Blaize
