Analogical Part 4

Hey guys! This will be from Logan's POV, and I'm gonna try to make it as long if not longer than the last one. This story is also on someones reading list, yay! (She's my friend but still) Hope you enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe I would do something so STUPID! I was trying to keep my feelings subtle, try to slowly ease into this new world of love. But I had to hug him. He seemed so upset and... vulnerable.

I knew from the beginning Virgil was not going to like this video. When I saw him appear on stage next to me with that tight shirt on,  I knew things could only go downhill from there. 

Then it came to the sippy cup. The prop that Roman just HAD to lose. The second Roman started yelling, I knew Virgil would lose it. Before I knew it, I had called him by the name I had been longing to say to him since I learned his name.

It felt amazing to call him Virge. It felt so natural. So Pure. I loved it. Then I remembered my plan. "CURSE YOU, LOVE!" my mind screamed. I knew there was no going back, so when I saw Vigil so vulnerable after returning Roman his sippy cup, I did something absolutely marvelous. 

I hugged him. It felt amazing. Though I'm ashamed to admit it, I had dreamed of this day and even practiced with pillows. He seemed shocked when I wrapped my arms around him, exactly as I had practiced. Almost scared. It dawned on me, he has never been hugged either. 

He pulled away, and though it hurt for it to be over so soon, I still thought that progress had been made. 

He was very awkward around me for the rest of the video. I tried to act "dumb" (more like excessively literal) when he said something smelled fishy about Patton, and say that I had told Thomas to take the trash out, which wasn't a lie, but he just made a sarcastic joke about it.

 I obviously understood his metaphor pertaining to Patton actually being Deceit, I just wanted to talk to him.  He rushed to his room after the video was over, and I walked back to mine, disappointed that we hadn't made more progress. 

I was just settling down with a new book on lies and deceit (I had to study to better prepare Thomas for his next battle with Deceit), when Virgil knocked on the doorframe, I hadn't closed my door in the hopes that Virgil would want to talk. He had his head down and was looking more calm, especially with his hoodie on once again, and muttered so quietly I barely caught it, "Thank you". 

"Of course!" I said, almost too gleefully, "You are a part of Thomas and it is my job to protect all aspects of himself, including you, Virge". He smiled when I called him by his nickname, and walked back to his room.

 When I heard his door close, I exhaled entirely too dramatically. I guess this is another product of love. I really should get a book on the topic of love. Or ask Patton.
