Just Us 4

§8§

The air was colder than before. I guess it was from being pushing and plunged in the water. Virgil, Roman, and I were all shaking under towels and chattering our teeth by the fireplace.

"I see Patton and Virgil have already made theirselves at home," Michelle joked as she handed each of us a hot chocolate.
"Yeaaa, I guess so," I smiled.

Michelle walked over and sat beside Virgil, who was hugging his knees and burying his face with the towel.

"I'm their mother Michelle by the way," she held out a hand for Virgil to shake.

Virgil took her hand and shook it. Michelle looked at his hand in shock.

"Wow, I guess the pool really was cold! You boys must be popsicles! The hot chocolate should help."
"T-Thanks m-m-mom," Roman stuttered.

Michelle went back to the kitchen and continued making dinner while Henry did the dishes. Logan on the couch, watching The Big Bang Theory. Science shows...

"Can't you put in something we all wanna watch?" Roman asked.
"I can, I just won't," Logan said.
"Not even Mary Poppins or something?"
"Ugh, no. Not Mary Poppins, never Mary Poppins," Virgil said.
"Ok fine! We'll watch Nightmare Before Christmas! Does that make you happy Jack Skellington?" Roman asked.
"Yes, I actually like that movie."

Roman groaned and fell on his back.

"Just put on a movie or something!"
"Ooh! Put on Good Burger!," I requested.
"What no!," Roman protested. "That movie is like the dumbest thing ever!"
"I thought that was called a 'Roman'," Virgil teased.
"Why you little-"
"Putting on Good Burger."
"What no?!"
"Patton was the only one with a good suggestion. Besides, I'm the one with the remote," Logan said.

Roman groaned again as Logan put on Good Burger.

"I'm not watching this," Roman said as he stood up and went down the hallway.
"Where's he going?" Virgil asked.
"Oh, probably to the Game Room, the only place where Roman goes when he doesn't get what he wants," I told him.
Virgil's eyes widen," THERE'S A GAME ROOM?!"

I didn't get to say another word as Virgil jumped up and down the hallway. I heard him run down the hallway, but didn't hear him go upstairs. He came back down the hallway and stopped.

"Where's the game room?"
"Upstairs, take a left, down the hallway, last door on the right," I told him.
"K thanks!," Virgil said as he ran down the hallway again.

I turned around, now on my stomach, and looked up at Logan.

"I guess it's just you and me watching this then," I said.
"Appears so," he replied.

I turned back to the TV and watched as the beginning started with the main character having a dream about burgers. It's a type of weird-funny movie.
~~~
We finished Good Burger when dinner started. Instead of eating at the table, since two boys were already upstairs, Michelle just called everyone to get a plate and eat wherever.

Good Burger ended and we started The BFG. BFG ended and it changed into Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Charlie into The LEGO Movie. Legos into A Dog's Purpose (which made me cry). And finally Dog's Purpose to shutting the TV off and trying to stay awake.

I already saw that Logan was asleep, so I had to wake him up. But my legs were asleep and my eyelids were getting heavier.

"Logan," I whispered.

He didn't react.

"Logan!," I silently yelled.

Still nothing. I looked around and saw a pillow on the couch behind me. I crawled over to pick it up and threw it at Logan, who instantly sat upright.

"Huh?! What? What'd I miss?"
"Are you sleeping down here or are we going to set up a fort in your room?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"Huh? Oh right. I'll go start on the Fort, go see if Roman and Virgil are still awake."

He slowly got off the couch and I followed close behind with a blanket around me. We walked upstairs and down the hallway were a man could be heard shouting in the Game Room.

"All units! Approach structure B! Capture the territory and advance!"

Logan moved into his room and I walked into Game Room where the TV was stuck on Call Of Duty. I looked at the front row and saw Roman trying to stay awake as he played and Virgil curled up asleep in the chair next to him.

"Um, Ro. Are you joining us with the fort?" I asked closing my eyes as the bright light from the TV blinded me.
"Oh, sure. Let me just turn everything off. Um, should I wake Virgil?" Roman asked as he turned off the TV.
I shook my head," Nah, I'll get him. You should help Logan with the fort though."

He nodded and ran out of the room. I hopped over to the sleeping Virgil and took my blanket off my shoulders. I dropped the blanket over Virgil and picked him up. He stirred in his sleep but didn't wake. I carried him out of the room and into Logan's room, where they were touching up the last of the blankets and pillows.

"Like it Pat??" Logan asked.
"It's so cool!," I chirped.
"We even added curtains!," Roman exclaimed.
"Correction, you added curtains. And you just took my bed sheets and put them over your blankets and pillow," Logan pointed out.
"Whatever makes me feel like royalty," Roman joked.

I silently laughed as Virgil moved around in my arms. I forgot he was here for a second.

"Um, where is Virgil sleeping? Because my arms are kind of getting tired here," I said as he moved again.
"Oh, he's sleeping next to you Patton. If you want, I can take him for you so you can get some sleep," Roman offered.
"Yea, that would help a lot," I said as I carefully handed Virgil's limp body over to Roman.

Logan yawned and turned the light off next to his bed. The glowing galaxy and the moon were the only lights provided after that. I laid down and covered myself in blankets as I saw Roman carefully put Virgil down next to me.

Virgil stirred again and hugged my arm like when he does when a storm scares him. Roman noticed as he laid down next to Logan's bed.

"I know he's a brat sometimes, but that is so CUTE!," Roman squealed.
I smiled," I know right?! But, let's not mention this to Virgil in the morning..."
Roman's smile turned into a worried expression," Yea, that would be best."

Roman covered himself up in blankets and closed his eyes. I looked up at the ceiling, at the glowing galaxy. It's so beautiful when it's night.

My eyelids grew heavier and I closed my eyes. Maybe I'll get a nice dream to complete this night.

Who knew Virgil and Patton had a strong bond right? Heh. I'll leave now... lol jk. And I know this is completely off topic but LOOK HOW PRETTY THE GALAXY EMOJI IS!!! 🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌 lol. I just distracted you for about 10 seconds. Anyways, stay tooned my Pupper Lovers!
