Remy the Protector

TW cursing

Thurs March 4

Sleeping didn't help improve his mood as much as he had hoped. Although, it might have helped more if he didn't have to wake up before eight.

Patton and Thomas walked him to geology after tennis. He hated how they all hovered over him like this. He knew they were afraid but he was sure he'd be fine if they just gave him some time.

He was rather surprised when he left geology to see Remy standing outside.

"Hey, Babe!" they winked and grabbed his arm leading him to class.

"Uh... wh-what are you doing here?"

They held up their phone.

"Patton asked if I could walk with you to class. He didn't say why, but I'd never miss out on a chance to spend time with my favorite little emo."

"Your- uh... what?"

"You're adorable when you're flustered!" they laughed.

They walked into class and sat down.

"So... Patton didn't say why he wanted you to walk with me?"

Remy shrugged.

"You say that like I need a reason. I don't ask questions. I'd be a good alibi if you're ever in trouble. Just tell me what you need and I got you."

Virgil couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll keep that in mind next time I commit a crime."

"See that sounds like a fun time."

"I don't often think about crimes but sometimes I want to murder."

"Don't tell me too many details. I need plausible deniability if I'm going to be your alibi."

"You don't want to help me kill someone?"

Remy shook their head.

"No, you need someone to talk to the police for you. You have plenty of other friends who can help you commit a murder."

"Nice to know I have a support system."

"Anytime!" They paused for a second. "I guess it depends on the friends though. I don't know how Patton would react if he knew and I doubt he'd help you. But I'm sure your boyfriend would help you."

Virgil thought it over. Maybe Patton wouldn't be okay with killing Hannah, but his dad? He might not actually help, but Virgil didn't think he'd even bat an eye if he found out.

"Depends on the victim," Virgil shrugged.

Remy gave him a curious look.

"Are you trying to tell me that little puffball has a hit list?"

"We'll, I wouldn't go that far, but I think there's at least one he wouldn't give a shit if he found out I killed him."

"See, if Patton's okay with a murder then the murder needs to happen. Who is it?"

"I thought you were going to be an alibi!"

"Emile can be our alibi," Remy said waving their hand. "Who's this fucker with the death wish?"

"Remy!"

"Virgil!"

Virgil sighed as he looked to his painting.

"Come on! I don't charge. I can do a clean kill! Hell, I'm sure I could make it look like an accident if I tried. Maybe I can work with your other friends. Does Patton actually want to help kill this bitch? Roman? Logan?"
