New short video I made ^^^ is only 7 seconds.

No ships (unless you wanna see it that way??) All platonic.

Logan, at times, would just randomly space out. One second he would be doing something and the next, he would be frozen in the middle of his task, no matter what he was doing. He would literally get 'lost in thought'.

It would be sometimes unnoticeable, such as when he looks up from reading a book and just stares into the nothingness. Other times, it could be more noticeable like when he's just standing in the middle of a room, not doing anything, and nobody can really shake him out of it, if they even tried.

It could usually last somewhere in between a few seconds to nearly a half hour, the latter which Patton swears by despite him being the only one to see it. It was usually best to leave him like that.

One time, Virgil decided not to, and that was best. Logan was pouring his coffee after waking up and his body just freezes.

Virgil had been in the kitchen, sitting on the counter, when Logan had walked in, still dressed in a black t-shirt and pajama pants. Virgil could see him pouring the coffee out of the corner of his eye as he continued scrolling through Tumblr, which was what he was doing all night. He noticed almost immediately when the coffee was still pouring out of the pot and overflowing the coffee mug.

Realizing that Logan had spaced out, Virgil quickly slides off of the counter and yanks the coffee pot out of his hands. He wrapped an arm around Logan's torso and dragged him away from the counter where the coffee still flowed.

Virgil watches it start to drip off the counter for a few seconds as he's still partially holding Logan, who is silent and unmoving. After a few seconds, Logan hisses and shakes his hand.

Dropping his arm that was around Logan, Virgil looks at the hand he was shaking to see that it was a bright red from where the hot coffee spilled onto him. Virgil tore off a few paper towels and worked on getting the hot liquid off of his skin, having to work around Logan's watch. "You idiot; you zoned out."

Logan didn't answer as Virgil grabbed an ice pack from the freezer. Virgil takes Logan's right wrist and presses the ice pack to the burn.

Standing there for a minute or two like that, Logan looks up from his burned hand to the person helping him heal it. "Thank you, Virgil."

Nodding, Virgil removes the ice pack for a few seconds to look at his hand before replacing the ice. "Just be careful, dummy."

...

It was well known by the other Sides that Virgil would often sit or lay in places that weren't necessarily meant to be sat on, but that didn't mean this occurrence stopped surprising them.

The others have caught him in places such as the floor- most frequently- and on the kitchen counters –usually when waiting for food.

On occasion, he would lay on one step of the staircase, usually on his phone. One time he was laying here, Patton comes bustling down, unaware of Virgil's presence on one of the steps. His foot came in contact with Virgil's scrunched-up knees and he yelped, losing his balance.

Beginning to fall forward face-first, Patton yelps, frantically flailing his arms. Virgil drops his phone onto his stomach in horror and reaches out to grab Patton's arms in an attempt to stop him from falling.

It seemed to work for a second, as Virgil was able to grasp both Patton's wrists to stop his flailing. Then Virgil felt himself being lifted off of his seat on the step as Patton's momentum pulled them down the stairs.
