Sanders Sides One Shots

Beach day (no ship just fluff)

Virgil didn't want to go to the beach. He just knew something bad would happen. He could be washed away by waves, or they could bury him in the sand and leave him there. There were infinite possiblies of what could go wrong. Even though they just going to Thomas's imagination. But none the less Virgil, with bad thoughts on his mind, climb into the car that Princey insisted they take. The car ride wasn't that long. When they got there it was the most beautiful beach any of them had seen. The sand was a beautiful golden colour. The ocean was calm and was a mixture of beautiful blues, greens, and purples. There was a perfect amount of shade. It wasn't too hot or humid. Virgil felt like he could spend eternity there.
Virgil's POV
I step on to the sand and let my toes sink into it. It feels so soft and warm. We begin unpacking our stuff and laying it on the beach. As soon as we're done Logan sits under a tree and begins reading some book. Patton and Princey head into the water and start spashing each other. I sit under the umbrella and listen to music. A few moments later Roman is standing over me, extending his hand. I take my headphones off and set them on the towel. I'm not gonna let my headphones get ruined by sand. I then take his hand. Roman jerks me up. "You are not going to just sit under that umbrella and listen to music. You can do that any other day. You pretty much do do that every other day. You are going to have fun." He says dragging me into the water. I groan and say "Princey, I was relaxing. You know, something I don't get to do very often? 'Cause I'm anxiety? Ringing any bells in princely head of your's." He just rolls his eyes and pulls me closer to the water. We finally reach the water and step in. The water is cool and refreshing. As soon as Patton sees me he says "Glad to see you joining us kiddo." I smile and say " Well it seems Princey's not gonna let me relax, so might as well join the fun." giving him a little spash. "Oh come on Virgil you can do better than that." Roman says, hands on his hips. "Oh yeah? You think so?" I say, kicking water towards him. He laughs and covers his face. He then spashes me back. This goes on for a while. I then break away from them and start swimming. I dive under the water. I open my eyes and see a beautiful shell. It's purple and blue and shiney and just really pretty. It kinda looks like those shells that you see in mermaid movies. I dive deeper and get it. I break the water's surface, holding the shell above my head like some sorta trophy. I see Roman swimming towards me, grin on his goofy face. "What did you find Mr. Gloom?" He askes, seeing something in my hand. "Oh just a shell. Pretty neat isn't it?" I say, showing the shell to him. "Yeah it is. But hey, lets head back to shore. We're about to eat." He says, pointing back to Patton and Logan, who are getting food out of the cooler. We swim back to shore. I sit on a towel and look up to see Logan staring at me. I blush. Why is he staring at me? Did I do something wrong? Did mess up his whole day some how? I continue to think I did something wrong until he says "You look weird with your hair slicked back." It isn't until he says that that realize that my hair slicked back from swimming. Roman agrees with him as he bites into his sandwich. "Oh." is all I say. I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. Patton passes me a sandwich. "It's a 'wich, you need to add the sand." Patton says with a smile. Logan groans after taking a bite of his sandwich. "What Logan do you not find my jokes punny?" Patton says with a smile. Roman laughs before taking a drink of his soda. I smile and take a bite of my sandwich. After we eat we sit on the beach, building sandcastles. Patton and I build a castle together. It had several towers, a moat and lots of windows. It looked really cool. I was really proud of it. "Hey Virgil lets go find some more shells. The first one you found was really pretty, I bet theres some more like that." Roman says, gesturing for me to follow him along the shore. I grab one of the buckets we were building with and follow him. As were walking I see Logan under a tree with a book in his lap, sleeping. I laugh and point at him. "Oh poor Logan. He's going to get sunburnt." Roman says. "Oh he'll be fine. He'll probably wake up soon." I say, wanting to find more shells. Once we fill the bucket we head back to the spot where our stuff is. Patton is playing in the sand, adding another moat to our castle. I smile for what feels like the hundredth time today. Today has been a good day. Roman and I going swimming again. Most of it was him challenging me to a race. I didn't mind though. I enjoyed the feeling of the water over my skin. Pretty soon Patton called us back to shore, saying it was getting dark. Patton had already woken up Logan and started a fire so we could make smores. After drying off slightly Patton handed me a smore. I bit into it as I dryed my hair. I look over at Logan, seeing that his cheeks were a little red. Maybe Roman was right, maybe Logan did get a little sunburnt. But for once we were getting along and I was having fun, so who cares. After a couple more smores and an hour or two of sitting by the fire I was starting to get sleepy. I begin dozing off.
Roman's POV
I look up to see Virgil falling asleep. It was quite adorable. Like watching a kitten sleep or a baby. I smile and try to get Patton and Logan's attention. After getting their attention I geture towards the sleeping Virgil. Patton is silently squealing and Logan shushs him. Patton then whisper "I think its time to pack this beach up." ( yes I know patton would probably never make this joke but its still a pun and its the only one I could think of). I smile and pick Virgil up to put him in the car. Something we've learned from living with Virgil for so long is a tired Virgil is a very grumpy Virgil. So I figured it was best to just let him sleep. Mainly because last time I woke him up from napping he tried to hit me with a baseball bat. After I get him the car I help Logan and Patton finsh packing up. We put everything in the car and drive home. After carrying all the stuff in the Mindscape, I carry Virgil in the Mindscape and set him down on the couch in the Commons. I run to my room and grab a blanket. I don't want Virgil getting mad at me for going in his room, even if it was to put him to bed. After draping the blanket over him I notice his jacket on the back of the couch. I get the brilliant idea to put his jacket on him. He loves wearing it so much, I'm surprised he didn't wear to the beach with his swim trunks. I put it on him and pull the hood without waking him up. Success! Virgil snuggles deeper into the hoodie and under the blanket. I smile, realizing that we got along pretty well today. I head to bed myself. I grab a blanket from my closet and fall into bed.
The next morning
I wake up, stretch, and sing. My normal routine. I get up, brush my hair and my teeth, and get dressed. I head to the kitchen for breakfast and see Virgil still fast asleep on the couch. I smile and quietly walk passed. I quietly greet Patton and Logan in kitchen. "I'm quite shocked that he's still there. I thought he would've woke and went to his room. Mainly considering the fact that his body would known that's not his room and probably made him so uncomfortable that he would wake and go to his room." Logan whispers before taking a sip of his coffee. "Well Logan, he doesn't get a lot of sleep. Most nights he can't sleep. Either his thoughts keep him up or he has a nightmare or he just doesn't get enough rest. So for him to still be there is a good thing. It means he slept through the night. Which is something he needs. Beside his room might be the reason he can't sleep. You saw how it affected us, just imgine it makes him so anxious that he's too scared to sleep." Patton says as he sets my breakfast in front of me, a sad look his as he looks in the direction of the living room, more specifically the direction of Virgil. I thank him and look up at Logan. His cheeks look glossy. Why? I wonder. "Logan, what's on your cheeks?" I ask. "Oh it seems I got sunburnt yesterday, so Patton put some aloe on my cheeks, shoulders, and chest. It is quite painfully." He responds promptly. I hear a groan from behind me. I turn to see a very red faced Virgil. "Oh no, it looks like you got sunburnt too kiddo." Patton says, empathy in his voice. "Yeah dad and it hurts like hell. Make it stop!" Virgil whined. It wasn't often that Virgil called Patton dad nor was it often that Vigil whined. Patton went into dad-mode as soon as Virgil had said dad. He quickly grabbed the aloe off the counter and pulled off Virgil's hoodie. I then saw how red his shoulders were. They were bright red and it looked very painful. Patton gently applied the aloe. Virgil just seemed to be falling back asleep. After getting his shoulder and back, Patton began rubbing some on Virgil's face and chest. Well as much of Virgil's chest he could reach while Virgil layed on the table. Virgil didn't complain, just sat there, sleeping. I finshed my breakfast and went to check up on Thomas. I pop up with my usual dramatic greeting. Thomas and I talked and he decides to do a video today, with us. Thomas summoned the others and explained the idea. He wantes to go Logan's room. But he was still thinking of a good reason to do so. I began to active my creative flow to allow an idea to come to Thomas. But the flow is cut off but Thomas asking Virgil why he's on the floor. Virgil was covered up with his hoodie, like it was a blanket. It was cute. I've always seen Virgil as somewhat of a little brother. Thats probably why I tease him so much. Virgil sat up and looked at Thomas like he was going to kill him. If looks could kill Thomas would dead."What do you want Sanders?" Virgil glares. Logan buts in before Thomas can answer. "Thomas, yesterday we went to your imagination and explored a beach Roman had made. We spent what felt like a day there. Virgil did a lot and thus is tired still and he did wake up not too long ago. And Patton has informed me that Virgil does not get a lot of sleep as is, which would also allow him to be tired." Logan explained. Virgil rubbed his eye sleepily. "Well, Virgil you up to doing a video today?" Thomas asked hopefully. Virgil nodded and yawned. Thomas said yay and handed each of us a script just so we know what we were going to say. We got to filming and about half way though it Virgil started to fall asleep. Pretty soon he started to fall over. I quickly caught him. He felt sticky from the aloe on his skin. "I think that this will have to wait till Virgil is awake enough to speak." Logan says as he helps me get Virgil to the couch. It really wasn't the hard to do, Virgil is so light. We all sat down and Patton sat next to Virgil and runs his finger through Virgil's hair. Thomas turns on a Harry Potter movie. It was in the middle of a marathon.
Three hours later
Virgil's POV
I wake up to the sound of screaming. Its no one I know but I still jump up. I look around to see who's hurt, but everyone seems fine. Then I see that the T.V. is on and they're watching Harry Potter and someone just died. I think it was one of the twins but I'm not sure since I don't watch these movies a lot. I'm so confused. "How yah feelin' kiddo?" Patton asks me as he rubs my back. "Kinda crappy. But better. I'm not as tired. I'm like the normal amount of tired. And I'm hungry." I say as I stand up and stretch. My back pops and I feel better. I climb over the back of the couch so I don't interrupt the movie. I find some leftover pizza in the fridge. Of course. I thinks as I pull the box out of the fridge. I break two pieces off, put them on a plate and stick it in the microwave. I put the pizza in for a minute and 30 seconds. After the microwave beeps, I pull the plate out and sit on the counter to eat. I bit into the pizza. It tastes pretty good. I feel eyes on me half way through my first piece. I look back to the living room to see Logan staring at me. "So thats where Thomas gets it from." He says. "What?" I ask, confused on what he's talking about. "The way you eat pizza. Thomas eats it the same way. You're the reason that he eats it that way. I've always been curious to who made him eat it that way. I knew it wasn't me. Patton doesn't eat it like that and Roman is always eats his a different way. That left you but I was never sure." Logan explains. I blushed because now Roman was also staring at me. I tried to go back to eating my pizza but I was embarrassed. I set the plate down. "Oh no here comes the part, the part where-" Patton started to say but Roman interrupted him. "Please don't say it." Roman says as he turns back to the T.V., as does Logan. I look at Patton to see him wink at me. It was a wink that says "I got you." I smile and go back to eating. Once I'm done I wait for the movie to go to commercial. When it does I ask Thomas if he wants to finish filming. "Yeah but when the movies over. We're almost through the last one." He responds. "Ok well I'm gonna go take a shower. 'Kay?" I say, making Logan groan at the use of improper grammar. "Yeah, yeah. That's fine. Whatever." Roman says, waving me off. I sink down to the mindscape. I head to my room. I step into my room and grab the things I need to take a shower. Most of it was already in there, probably because its my bathroom. I just grab a clean towel and a clean set of clothes. I step into the black and purple bathroom. I strip myself of my dirty swim trunks that I forgot I was wearing and my sticky, dirty hoodie. I turn on the water and wait a bit for it to get warm. I then step under the shower head and let the warm water wash over me. It was just hot enough to keep me warm but not hot enough to hurt my sunburn. I gently wash the aloe off with my hand instead of my poofy thingy ( idk the name of the thing but you know what im talking about ). I feel much better after washing my body. I then wash my hair. I slick my hair back with soap and pretend to be a much goofier version of Princey. I rinse the soap and then add conditioner. It allows me to run my fingers through my hair. I like the fact that my hair is longer than the others, mainly because then others like to play in it in their own way. I think back when Logan practiced braiding in my hair and Patton put bows in it and stuff. Then Roman just had to try out different hair styles on me. I don't mind, I just want them to tell me that they to play in my hair (which they do). I love my hair played with. I rinse the conditioner out as well. I turn off the water and step out of the shower. I dry myself off with the towel I brought in with me. I decide to let my hair air-dry. I pull on my black boxer briefs and black, ripped, skinny jeans. I grab my black longed sleeved MCR shirt and step out of my bathroom and bedroom. As I'm about to put it on I'm summoned. I blush as I'm put in front of everyone without a shirt on. I now realize how small and thin my body is compared to the others. I swallow the lump in my throat. "I told you to just wait. I told you just let him come on his own. But no you just had to listen to Roman." Logan says sarcastically. I'm frozen in embarrassment. Roman gives me an apologetic look. I quickly pull my shirt on. I still feel the blush on my face. Its dark, I know. I realize I don't have any makeup on. My blush darkens. Crap. I think as Patton tosses me my black and purple hoodie to put on, 'cause I'm not Anxiety without my hoodie. "Do you wanna put on some make-up? And sorry Logan for the bad grammar." Thomas say, scratching the back of his head. "Kinda but I don't wanna keep you guys waiting while I do it." I say, looking down in embarrassment and playing with my fingernails. "No its fine. That'll give us time to work on our lines a little." Roman say, shooting me a smile. "Fine." I say as I sink down into my room. I grab my makeup bag off the dresser and grab the mirror off my desk. I sit on the floor with the items. I decide to do some eyeliner today. I gently lined my left eye and then my right. I looked in the mirror to see that they were almost perfectly even. My right eye was a little thin. I went over it again and saw it was perfect. I covered the bags under my eyes with foundation and put the eyeshadow in the right place for once. I did an amazing smokey eye. I debated on lipstick. I decided to not wear lipstick but thought some earings would look cool. I poked the black skull earings through the holes in my ears. I popped up in the living room. It seemed lines had been forgotten and they were talking about musicals. I cleared my throat so they knew I was there. Princey looked over and had to do a double take. He looked so in shock. It was funny. Logan looked quite impressed while Patton just squealed. I blushed at their shock. I looked at Thomas. He looked quite happy with me. "You did a great job on your eyeliner Virgil." Thomas smiled at me. "Ok lets get this video over with. I have a Tumblr feed to look through." I said with a smile. I tried to make it sounds sarcastic but it came out happy.
About a week or two later
"Wait when did you get tan Virgil?" Thomas asked me. I took a mirror off the coffee table. I looked in it. He was right, I was tan. It made my pale foundation look out of place on my face. "Dammit!" I cursed quietly. "Language Virgil!" Patton said in a stern tone. "Sorry Dad." I say apologeticly. But I didn't look bad with a tan. And neither did Logan.
