He had no idea why he'd agreed to even to go on a date with this Jake guy but here he was, sitting at the table of the diner they agreed to. It was fairly nice and close to his work and home so it would be an easy walk without him getting too sweaty. He didn't want to stink even if he didn't like this guy this much at the moment, he might in the future, you never know. Logan always said the future was unpredictable and there were so many paths one could choose to follow after all. One path could be Virgil in an actual decent relationship with Jake; he was a nice guy after all.
"I don't know, are you sure about this Patton?" Virgil asked his flatmate, standing in front of the full body sized mirror located in his closet. He was always so unsure of everything and never knowing if what he was doing was right. Just because something feels right doesn't mean it is right, his philosophy professor always liked to say.
"Of course, you look so cute and handsome and I swear if he doesn't think the same, I'll fight him!" Patton said from behind him, sitting on Virgil's bed with his baby blue polo and tan khakis contrasting against the dark purple and black duvet.
"Don't get thrown in jail," Virgil giggled at Patton's response. It might not have secured him but Patton was his best friend and always tried for him which he came to deeply appreciate about the big old cinnamon bun. "I'd hate not to have anyone to bring me pizza and watch Steve Universe when I'm having a bad day."
"I'd escape just to do it!" Patton smiled sweetly, like the little sweetheart he is. Sometimes you forget Patton is actually an adult considering his cheeky wide smiles, constant excitement in everything, and his natural bubbly personality. Heck, he was swinging his legs back and forth while he sat on the bed like a toddler which was so adorable. Virgil was surprised when Patton confirmed that he was indeed single. Virgil was in awe in the fact that no one saw Patton as optional partner considering he was everything a person could want; he was attractive, had a great personality, and he could cook and clean like a madman despite calling himself a lazy person.
"Knowing you, I wouldn't be surprised." Virgil chuckled, turning his gaze to look back up at his reflection. He was wearing a starry jumper that instead of a dark blue had purple for the night sky and he, of course, was wearing black skinny jeans that had little rips in them at the knees. "Though Logan would be your lawyer the second he got the chance to defend you."
"What? Nooo!" Logan was a good mutual friend of theirs. Logan was chemistry major while Patton was an education major and Virgil was film production major and they had all met through a Spanish course that they had to take because all three just ended up being the poor souls getting placed in there. It was a hefty class for sure and they helped each other out even after they finished the group final they were assigned to and slowly became friends due to all the time they spent together so naturally, they grew close. Oblivious to Logan, Patton had a huge crush on the science nerd.
"Don't doubt it for a sec, Pat," Virgil smirked and walked over to the hanger on the back off his door, snatching his purple jacket from it and proceeding to pull it on. "The guy is like way into you, y'know."
"Oh my gosh, he is not!" Patton flushed red and stomped his feet like a five-year-old would, "Logan isn't like that, Virge!"
"Sure, he isn't." Virgil rolled his eyes, finally slipping the jacket all the way on. He wouldn't leave this behind for the world. "Which is why he stares at you all the time," He slipped on his converse. "During class mind you."
"Oh, please!" Patton shook his head, laughing at the words Virgil spewed. "Quit it now and get to your date already! I bet it's gonna be awesome!"
"Sure hope so," Virgil sighed, his shoulders slumping down. "But knowing me, it's gonna turn out to be a shit storm."
