The beach (prinxiety)

Yes, I had no idea how to call this... Anyway! This was requested by mkbutprinxiety ! I hope you like it! Also, there's gonna be a part two!

"No"
"But please! It will be fun I promise!"
"Roman I said no! I won't come to the beach with you guys, I would just stay on the shore, bored and alone cause you're all be swimming!" Virgil snapped getting annoyed. Roman has been trying to convince him to go to the beach with them for half an hour, and he was honestly getting fed up with it.
Roman scoffed and stomped out of the room, returning just a few seconds later dragging Patton with him.
                                          ***
"Tell me again why I am here?" Virgil asked annoyed and with a defeated sigh, squeezed between an excited Roman and a sleeping Thomas.
"Because your a sucker for Potton's pouty face and you can't say 'no' to him" Logan answered keeping his eyes on the road.
Virgil groaned, already regretting his decision. He couldn't even swim! He was too embarrassed to do it, even if they were going to a hidden part of the beach were they could have all the space for themselves.
He was sure that if they saw his scares they would judge him. They would be disgusted. And he didn't want that. He didn't want them to look at him differently, he didn't want Roman to look at him differently. And he just knew that's what would have happened if they were to see his scarred torso.
He automatically drew his hoodie closer around him, feeling self-conscious only thinking about it.
After 3 hours of driving, with Patton, Roman and Thomas singing a mix of Disney and musical's songs at the top of their lungs and Logan and Virgil groaning, trying to hide the fact that they, too, enjoyed that kind of music, they finally got to the beach.
They all got out of the car before starting unpacking and laying their beach towels on the soft sand.
Almost immediately they were all Patton victims, who began putting sun cream on their back without their consent, having them all groaning in protest until he got to Virgil.
"I'm good Pat" he said taking a step back.
"Oh c'mon kiddo! If you get a sunburn I won't be able to give you a patt-on the back!" He exclaimed happily and giggling slightly.
Virgil snorted at the bad joke, but stood his ground. "Really, dad, I don't need it. I won't even take my hoodie off" he assured, making Patton smile at the nickname. The dad thing started as a joke made by Thomas about how he would always take care of all of them resembling a dad, and then officially became their nickname for the guy. And he loved it.
"Okay kiddo!" He exclaimed smiling. "Just know that I am watching you" he said more serious this time, making the 'I'm watching you' motion with his fingers and making Virgil nervously laugh.
After that they all went swimming, apart from Virgil, who got comfortable on his MCR towel and began scrolling through Tumblr, re blogging some posts here and there.
Two hours passed and everything seemed to be going well. Virgil sighed bored, watching the others having fun in the water and wishing he could go with them. It was only then that he noticed that Roman was missing. He panicked for a second, before seeing him swimming offshore. Virgil anxiously observed the fanciful persona. He saw that he stopped and turned around waving at him. He waved back confused and then it happened. He heard Roman yelling "oh god, a cramp!" Before going underwater, just to resurface a moment later and then go under again.
Virgil was panicking. WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO?! The others were too far to get to him in time, he was the only one who could get to him in time.
There was only a problem: he couldn't swim with his hoodie on, it would have slowed him down too much.
He hesitated just a second before clenching his jaw and taking off his hoodie.
He run, diving in to the water as soon as he was close enough. When he reached Roman, he took his arms, holding him close and swimming back to the shore.
Only then he realised that Roman wasn't even coughing, something quite normal to do when you just almost drowned.
"Roman, I swear to god, if you tell that you were just being dramatic to see if I would give a damn about the fact that you could have drowned, I'm gonna drown you myself and make it look like an accident." He threatened while the others got to where they were to see what happened.
There was silence between the two, until the prince-like persona looked down blushing and quickly muttering: "Then that's not what I was doing." Virgil growled, angry that he gave him such a scare. His heart was just calming down from his fast beating, when it immediately got back up, when he realised he was still shirtless.
They were all staring at him. No, they were staring at his scars.
His breathing's picked up, his face paled even more and tears started to gather in his eyes, trying to break free. He frenetically looked around and hastily put his hoodie on once he found it.
Virgil stayed still for a second, waiting for them to say something, anything that could tell him what they were thinking. They didn't.
That's when he decided to get out of that situation as fast as possible, and speed walked down the shore, getting further and further away from the others, trying to be alone.
