Chapter 7

Aftermath

"Wait, you mentioned something at the beginning about how many hosts you've had?" Thomas questioned, it had been about thirty minutes since Virgil last spoke, it being when he had said 'No'. During those thirty minutes Remus had picked Virgil up and brought the anxious trait back to their previous position of sharing one beanbag, Virgil was, once again, on Remus's lap.

"Oh yeah, I guess we should probably mention how many previous hosts we've had." Roman said this line caused Virgil to panic, he wanted to go to his room and hide. He had told other traits from previous hosts how many hosts he's had and they all stopped talking to him, he had no clue why though.

Logan had agreed, thinking only for a minute before replying with the number of hosts he's had. "198," he had said, so relaxed Remus quickly went after speaking up for both the twins.

"117!"

"17..." Patton spoke quietly, everyone went silent after that. Though Remy spoke next saying a simple "57."

Janus went next speaking easily, almost as if it were nothing, as if people may not judge him for his number. "6,529."

"I don't know..." Virgil muttered quietly, so quietly that no one had heard him. Sure, it was a lie, and yeah, no one heard it, but Janus could still tell it was a lie.

"What did you say? Why would you lie?" Janus questioned.

"..." Virgil remained quiet just a moment more before replying, "I said 'I don't know' and I would lie because I've been judged for the number before..."

"Virge, Kiddo, you know we won't judge you!" Patton chimed in from his seat next to Janus.

"Fine... 98,270 including Thomas..." Virgil whispered, he was so quiet that Remus, who was right below him, almost didn't hear it.

"Virgin, are you... Are you a Forevermore?" Resume questioned, he said it loud enough for everyone to hear, shocking everyone except for Remy.

"Virgil, what was your number?" Logan questioned gently, giving the trait in question a concerned look.

"98,270 including Thomas." Virgil spoke louder, he was trying to keep his voice from wavering but he failed.

"Hey, Starlight, wanna have another all-nighter and annoy the shit out of Thomas randomly again?" Remy asked, it's what the two did anytime either of them got too anxious. They would pull an all-nighter and either annoy Thomas or one of the other sides, or they would go on Omegle and be flashed at least 7 times.

Instead of a verbal reply Remy just got a nod, Virgil was expecting what happened next. "Use your words Starlight. We've been over this. You make me speak and I make you. You don't get out of it this time." Remy spoke, standing up and stretching before grabbing Virgil's cup and taking it into the kitchen to get the anxious trait more coffee.

When Remy left the room everyone looked over at Virgil, confusion clear on their faces. They were all looking between the kitchen and the boy sitting on Remus's lap.

"... Whenever one of us two are having a particularly bad day we pull an all-nighter with each other. We either annoy Thomas or we go on Omegle. Sometimes we'll play board games, some days we just watch movies." Virgil explained, muttering a small thanks when Remy came back into the room, handing Virgil a cup of coffee.

"Remus, you don't need to worry, Virgil and I see each other as brothers. Even though he's a lot older than me, he acts like a younger brother so I treat him like one." Remy explained, gaining a nod of agreement from Virgil.

"Alright, well, it was nice talking to all of you and sharing a piece of our pasts with each other, but Patton just passed out so I'm going to take him back to his room to sleep." With those words said Janus and Patton disappeared down the upstairs hallway, they only ever heard one door open and close.

Shortly after Janus and Patton left, Thomas, Roman, and Logan left as well. The three left alone agreed to play board games and hang out until the morning. In all honesty Remus enjoyed himself more than he thought he would, Virgil calmed down a lot and seemed much more in his zone, and Remy was just enjoying hanging out with his 'Little' 'Brother' and Remus.
