Growing closer

Small nuisance

Virgil rolled on his side with a annoyed grumble. He slowly peeks his eyes open to look at the alarm clock. It was already 3:00 am...? Greattt. That means he's been staring at the inside of his eyelids for 4 hours now. The anxious man didn't know what to do, he was so bored and so tired. He's been trying to sleep for the past 4, God forsaken, hours. He thought that if he closed his eyes for long enough maybe he'd fall asleep but apparently not.
Virgil let's out a loud grunt as he rolls on his back to stare at his ceiling. The ceiling is rittled with glow in the dark stars.
Logan put them there, I guess he thought it'd be nice for him not to stare at a blank ceiling. He was right after all.
For some reason just the small detail of soft light coming from stars made Virgil smile. Or was it because of Logan?
Wait what?
Why would it be that?
Virgil started to blush intensely at the thought.
As he was covering his red face, Virgil heard a noise from the room next to him. It was coming from Logan's room?
A loud pencil tapping sound could be heard through the wall the separated Logan and Virgil's room.

Logan stares down at the papers littering his desk, furiously tapping his pencil.
What am I supposed to do?
He looks over at the alarm clock on the dresser next to his bed.
3:05 am?
I've been doing this for way to long. How in the world do I convince Thomas to talk to this guy. It would be great for his health, as patton has said. And it would help Roman out as well. But Thomas just won't budge. Even Virgil wants Thomas to get with this guy. He was actually the one who helped initiate conversation.
Maybe I should sleep?
This could be reserved for a different day I suppose.
As Logan was stuck in thought something interrupted. He could hear something moving on the other side of the wall.
It wasn't strange for Virgil to be up but he never usually moves around much.
As Logan looked up from his papers he got startled by a figure sitting on his desk.
"Hi, hello, why are you up???"
Logan just stared back blankly

Virgil had never seen Logan's desk in such disarray. Papers were littered all over it with messy writing and scribbled out words.
𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚜 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙽𝚒𝚌𝚘?
Was he still worried about the Nico situation? I have no idea why though, Thomas has definitely given up on the idea at this point.
Whatever, now is not the time to think about it now. It's time to do what I came here to do, be a nuisance.
"What are you doing here Virge?" Logan questions
"Ohhh nothing much... Just here to help out" Virgil says with a mischievous tone
"Yeah yeah sure, go right ahead" Logan says sarcastically
"I will!" Virgil mocks

Virgil leans down and starts picking up Logan's papers and reading through them.

"What if you just had me stress Thomas out about missing Nico, so he confesses or talks to him more?" Virgil said in a sarcastic tone, trying to infuriate Logan

Logan just looks and Virgil for a second and considers his idea. Maybe he's just tired, but that does make sense. If Thomas stresses out about missing Nico then he'll have no choice but to at least talk to him more.

Virgil looks at Logan with a puzzled face.
Is he really considering my idea? What
is going on in his head?
Is he trolling me back or something?

"Virge that's a great idea!"
"Good job hun" (you can't tell me Logan doesn't call people hun, it's the rules)

Virgil stared at Logan as he was furiously writing and planning.
Wait??
What???
Did...
Did Logan just compliment me??
The way he said it made the hair on Virgil's neck stand up. He said it in such a smooth tone with uncharacteristic rasp.

As Virgil stared his face grew increasing warmer. The light purple started creeping into his normally dark black eyeshadow. Virgil was so flustered by the idea that Logan had complimented him, he didn't think about the logical side's presence in front of him. Especially with the tone Logan used. he was in a complete daze. Virgil was blushing up a storm as butterflies filled his stomach.

Logan glanced at the former darkside, he hadn't spoken in a few moments. As Logan did so he could see Virgil's eyeshadow was uncharacteristically purple and his cheeks were a rosey pink color.
Was he blushing?
Why was his eyeshadow purple?
The only time it was purple was when Thomas went on the first date with Nico.
Wait a second.
Was Virgil blushing because of him?
What did he do?
Was it the compliment?
Ohhh it was the compliment.
As Logan noticed what he had done a smirk stretched to one side of his face.
It strangely felt good to make Virgil feel this way. Maybe he liked the power it gave him?

Maybe he liked the emo nightmare?
