Between Dreams | Sander Sides Story

Chapter 2

(Anxiety/ Virgil POV)

Princey took a while to fall asleep. He stared the roof as we made short talk. His bed looked so soft. I bet it felt like laying on clouds, is that was possible. I was tempted to join him but I would have kept my distance from him. He was rested in the middle of his king size bed.

I was jealous that he had so much space in his room. All his furniture was unnecessarily large. He had an enormous walk in wardrobe, a king size bed, a massive throne and a massive television. My room was three quarters of the size of his. I had a king single bed, a clothes rack and a shabby bookcase.

Our rooms where more like apartments. They had doors leading into other places. The central room was the bedroom as we spend most of the time there then we have rooms that catered to our interests. I was unsure what was in Princey's rooms. I could only assume that's where he kept his Disney collection.

The candle I found filled the room with the scent of pine. I wasn't fond of the smell myself but it seemed to relax Roman. It reminded me of the forest maybe that's why he liked it.

I knew he had fallen to sleep when I heard snoring. When he started to drift off I began scrolling on my phone waiting for a good time to sneak off. I stood up and headed to the door. I peered back to make sure he was still asleep. I closed the door behind me before I headed back to the control room.

Why did he ask for me to watch him? I am no source of comfort. The only times I spoke to him was for in Thomas' videos and when he sees me about. Most of the time, he just bothers me about my job. None of them ever appreciate what I do for them. I am slightly glad that they don't recognise what I do. I wouldn't be able to stand the praise. I'll just stick to their criticism.

I walked over and signed Roman out. He had forgotten to do so himself. I sat back at my desk. I didn't recall the chair being so uncomfortable but after sitting of the corner of his bed nothing would seem the same.

When I first sat down on his bed it was like sitting of a marshmallow. It was bouncy and squishy and probably easy to fall to sleep on it. The bed was almost perfect. For some reason Roman looked lonely. Such a massive bed and no one to share it with. He is probably okay with that. He would be able to get any person he wanted. He was just naturally gifted with people.

I hunched over my paperwork. I didn't want to do it. I sighed before forcing myself to do it. My eyes kept drifting away from the paper and to my notebook. I pushed my notebook off the desk and let it slide against the floor. It was too far to reach without getting up and I didn't want to get up.

It was about 11 when I had completed my work. I drunk way too much iced coffee and had way too many breaks.

My days were spent lingering between the desk and my chair. When I wasn't at my desk or armchair I was in the bathroom. Sadly, we must use the bathroom as well. I haven't had a shower in weeks. Thank god for the invention of cologne. I just doused myself with it and then I smell mildly decent.

Logic and Morality stumbled in around 12. They didn't arrive together. Logan arrived first then Patton with coffee. I took my coffee from him and slouched back in my chair. I pushed myself away from the control panel and let the new arrives do some work.

"How did you two sleep?" I asked thinking about what I saw last night.

"Amazingly" Morality said glancing over at Logic.

"It was adequate" Logan took a sip of his drink before he spoke.

"Adequate huh?" Patton wasn't going to be fooled by Logic.
