Sanders' Sides Oneshots

Confused (Anxiety x Logic)

Okay so this time it is my fault but oh well you can fight me (I actually do kinda feel bad this is the third one in a row oops forgive me)

Logan was confused. It had only been a simple joke, one just like the billions of others that Patton liked to tell. It was slightly different, when he thought about it a little more. This one was about science, and it hadn't been Patton who told the joke. He wondered if it mattered. Why would it make that much of a difference if Virgil had told it instead?

No one had expected it. Logan hadn't either, if he was being honest. He just couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, understanding the joke as soon as it was told. He wasn't really sure why everyone was confused-it wasn't as if Logan couldn't laugh.

It was rare, though, and at a pun of all things? He hated them when Patton was the one telling them. So why was this one different, somehow? It made no logical sense. Did he just think Virgil was funnier? Perhaps he favored him slightly over Patton?

He knew he didn't dislike any of the others. He was just very confused. Why did he seem to be closer with Virgil? Why had he been acting so strange around him lately? None of it made sense. Logan couldn't explain it, and it frustrated him.

That wasn't the only thing that had been different. Every time that the two of them touched, simple things like brushing shoulders when walking past each other, or when they would sit beside each other, Logan felt strangely happy. He enjoyed being close to him, and found himself trying to move closer without being noticed.

He was confused, and unsure of what to do about this. So, Logan decided it would be a good idea to confront the source of his current problem. He asked Virgil to meet him in a part of the mind where they wouldn't be negatively affected, explaining that he had a question to ask him. He realized after sending it that Virgil may worry about it being something bad, so he sent another text to assure him everything was okay. He didn't want him to worry.

Logan, being the first to arrive where they were meeting, began to question his decision. His heart was pounding against his chest, his stomach twisting itself in knots. He wanted to leave and hide in his room, away from Virgil, and he didn't understand why. He forced himself to stay in place, deciding it was better to find out what was wrong with him.

When Virgil finally got there his problems seemed to worsen. He wanted to hide, but still fought against the urge.

"Hey," Virgil greeted as he saw Logan waiting. "What'd you wanna ask me?"

Logan stayed silent for a moment, thinking over what to say. He had had it planned out only moments before, but suddenly he seemed to have forgotten. "I'm confused." He blurted, not wanting to give no answer.

"Confused? What about?" Virgil questioned, frowning.

"I am confused about... a few things. That all seem to relate to you, somehow." Logan clarified, trying to explain but not knowing the exact words to put together.

"Can you be a little more specific?" He asked again, and Logan sighed, looking to the ground and staying silent for another minute.

"It's... little things. Like, the joke you told the other day when I laughed. Or, any time that we touch. It is strange, but I enjoy being close to you. I like to be around you, and it's... different, somehow. Not the same as with the others. I know it has to do with feelings, but I don't understand. What am I feeling?" Logan finally looked back up at Virgil as he asked him that question, his confusion clear on his face. Virgil was silent for a moment, appearing surprised.
