He's getting no sleep

Prompt(s) from- PicklesOfNervousness

Roman had noticed that something was up with Virgil.

---------------------------------------------

Patton called everyone down for breakfast. Logan and Jauns were the first ones there. Then Roman, then Virgil, then Remus. They all sat down as Patton made/gave them plates of pancakes.

Btw the sides have to sit a certain way at the circle table to keep the peace. It goes Roman, with Patton to his left, Janus on Patt's left, Logan on Jan's left, Remus on Lo's left, then Virgil on Re's left, and Ro's right.

Roman and Remus can't sit next to each other or they will start to fight. Janus and Roman can't sit next to each other for obvious reasons. Roman and Logan can't sit next to each other without arguing more than they already do when they aren't sitting right next to each other.

Anygay back to the story.

Patton put plates down in front of everyone, then sat down. Remus was eating his pancakes without silverware or his hands aka he was face-first into the pancakes. Logan and Janus were silently judging Remus while eating their food and sipping their coffee. Patton was eating his pancakes happily. Roman was eating his pancakes when he noticed Virgil hadn't started eating and was falling asleep. Virgil's head was resting in his hand. His head started sliding off his hand and he jolted awake.

"You okay, Kiddo?" Patton asked, notice the sudden movement.

"Uh, yeah," Virgil mumbled. "Just tired."

When Virgil said that, Roman notice a look on Janus' face that was like he wasn't sure if what Virgil said was a lie or not.

"I'm not really hungry. I think I'm going to go get some more sleep," Virgil said, getting up.

"Alright, Kiddo. If you say so," Patton said.

Virgil then left and went upstairs presumably to his room.

"Something wrong Jauns?" Patton asked, seeing the look on said side's face.

"It's probably nothing, no," Janus shook his head a little.

----------------------------------------------------

Instances like that kept happening every day, sometimes multiple times a day in different places.

-----------------------------------------------

Roman was on the couch in the living room watching Disney, and Virgil was sitting on the other side of the couch. Virgil's head was resting in his hand again. He kept falling asleep and jolting awake.

"You okay, Virgil?" Roman asked.

"Huh?" Virgil asked.

"Are you okay?" Roman repeated.

"Uh, yeah."

"Are you sure?" Roman asked, concerned. "You've seemed sleep deprived for like at least a week now."

"Oh well, I um," Virgil sputtered. "I just haven't been sleeping much lately."

"How long has it been since you've slept?" Roman asked. "Like a full night's rest?"

"I- um- well- I-" Virgil stammered, looking away.

"Virgil," Roman said, putting his hand on Virgil's shoulder. Virgil looked at Roman again. "Please tell me."

"It's been a while..." Virgil mumbled.

"What keeps you up at night?"

"... nightmares..." Virgil mumbled hesitantly.

'Aww, pore baby,' Roman thought. He hugged Virgil, who tensed up at first then relaxed into the larger man's touch. He ran his fingers through Virgil's hair.

After a while, Roman noticed the extra weight and saw that Virgil had fallen asleep. He kept running his fingers through the smaller man's hair. Then, in Roman's opinion, Virgil started to do the most adorable thing ever. He started purring like a little kitten. Roman did this until Virgil woke up from the first nightmare-free sleep in a long time.
