Fluffy, platonic Analogical.

...

All the Sides knew that Logan would answer any question they had, even if it was a dumb question. He always insisted that he was intelligent, and that he loved to spread his intelligence onto the others.

Sometimes, he wouldn't know the answer to a question. This occurrence always intrigued him, so he would promise to do some research on the question with the intent to get back to them with a conclusive answer. He loved to do this, feeling like he was bettering his own intelligence.

Eventually, Virgil started to entertain himself with this. "How do you describe the difference between left and right?"

Logan looked up from his book and peered over the edge of his glasses, making Virgil think he looked like a grumpy librarian. "Hmmm. I am not sure."

They sat in silence for another minute or so. Virgil watched as Logan seemed to drift off into space, thinking about the question. He felt proud that he'd stumped him.

A few days later, Virgil tried again. "If you had a room full of mirrors and nothing else, what would it look like?"

Again, Logan looked up from whatever he was doing when Virgil asked a question out of nowhere. He thought about it for a few seconds, and once he realized it wasn't an obvious answer, he thought harder about it.

Later that night, Virgil got a text message from Logan. I just ordered a bunch of really big mirrors. Don't be alarmed when they arrive.

Virgil could get used to this. "Describe the color red."

"Virgil!" Logan snapped his head up and glared. "Are you purposefully asking me hard questions just to make me realize how stupid I actually am, or something?"

Laughing at his long-winded reaction, Virgil shook his head. "I thought you liked to better your own intelligence."

"Yeah," Logan muttered and went back to what he was doing. "But I feel like I'm getting stupider trying to figure these things out."

The next day, Virgil asked another difficult question and Logan simply groans. Virgil just smirks and laughs evilly, loving to watch his reactions.

Once, all four of them were casually hanging out together. It didn't slip Virgil's focus when Logan had walked into the living room, looking more tired than normal. Virgil had heard the logical Side pacing back and forth in his room the last couple nights.

"How do you know you exist?"

Logan immediately shrieked and ran out of the room. Virgil chuckled at his sudden departure while the other two just looked confused.

"I've been bugging him for weeks by asking impossible to answer questions," Virgil explained, and the others nodded.

It had been a whole week before Virgil asked another question, but he knew that Logan stayed up late at night, if he slept at all, trying to figure out the questions Virgil had already asked.

Virgil grinned as Logan walked over to the coffee pot one morning, turning it on and waiting. He'd turned towards the others and asked how they were. Roman and Patton gave their answers and continued to eat their breakfasts.

He waited a few seconds for Logan to let his guard down, standing casually at the kitchen bar beside him munching on a granola bar, and then Virgil asked another hard question. "Why do we wait until night to call it a day?"

Logan grimaced instantly and then did something Virgil hadn't expected. His eyes shut and he fell forward into Virgil's arms, completely worn out by all these unsolved questions.

Virgil was barely able to hold him, and shifted so that he didn't fall. "Logan?"

He looked to the other Sides sitting at the dining room table for assistance, feeling confused. Roman laughed. "I think you broke him."

Patton giggles at the sight of Virgil holding a sleeping Logan up. "I ship it."

FYI I started a new Sanders Sides book on here. It's an AU where the Sides are going to college (how original, I know). But, if you think it sounds cool, I work really hard on it.

My guess for this upcoming Sanders Sides video... based on the emojis, Roman and Sleep. Thomas also said that it would predominantly show two Sides that haven't been paired before, so it has to be Roman and Patton, Logan and Roman (I really hope), or Virgil and Patton (which would be interesting after the last video). Or, it could be any of them with a new Side.

Honestly, the Fanders have really taking a liking to Sleep, even more so than Deceit, and he was in a full video compared to Sleep's three shorts. So I hope he'll become a full-fledged Side.
