(a/n: ok so some people said remy x dolos for a new book, and i kNow i said any ship, but... ok so dolos is an original character. i mean, not really because he's not original at all and the ideas aren't mine, but i feel like for that i'd have to do actual deceit x remy because the next book is not a sequel to this one. but i don't really ship remy x deceit (im not against the ship, just saying i don't really see it)

also thank you for 200 followers holy moly)

*virgil's pov*

Dolos and Remy came back about 15 minutes later with coffee.

Patton decided to prepare breakfast and Dolos helped.

Dolos set down his coffee and started slicing bananas with a sharp knife.

Roman and I were walking by him and he turned to us and asked, "Hey, any other fruit you guys like in your oatmeal other than bananas?" He waved around the knife subconsciously and innocently as he spoke.

I sensed that Roman was getting slightly tense, so I took the knife from Dolos' hand, set it down, and gave him a spatula before replying with, "No, bananas are fine!"

"What's the spatula for?"

"To cut the banana."

"That's not- wh- how.... Do you know what a spatula is for? Do people use spatulas to slice fruit? Is that a thing?"

"Yes! It's a new trend called.... the... YEAH, IT'S A THING, BYE!"

Roman snickered. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "We need to get you an improv class."

Dolos blinked several times before beginning to slice the bananas with the side of the spatula in utter confusion.

Logan, who wasn't paying attention to anything the whole time, noticed the strange slicing tool and asked, "Dolos, what in God's name are you doing? Do you know what a knife is?"

"Yeah, yeah, Virgil made me do it."

I laughed and left to go to my room, Roman following behind me.

We sat on my bed, knees pressing lightly against one another's.

"Thank you, Virgil," he said with a faint smile. "I love you."

"I love you more. And... It's the least I can do to make up for ruining your life. I really care about you."

He kissed me and I suddenly realized he was slightly trembling.

"You're shaking," I pointed out. "What's wrong?"

"I- I'm just more nervous these days..."

"...I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish you were back to your old egotistical self. It sucks that I made you unhappy and I don't like seeing you like this... I'm sorry."

"You're so apologetic. Stop it. You know I already forgave you."

I brought him in for a hug.

"That's adorable," came a whisper from the doorway.

Oh, Patton. Of course.
