☆ 21 - plan b ☆

Virgil insisted that Logan should take a mental health day off from school, but Logan insisted he didn't need it.

"Okay. But if you need one, just say so."

Logan nodded reluctantly.

"You promise?"

"...I promise."

Patton came home a while later. His lips were sort of red, his hair was messier than usual, and he looked like he desperately needed sleep, but he held a stupidly big smile.

Virgil smirked as his younger brother entered. "You did some really hardcore studying at Elliott's house, huh?"

Patton pouted. "Don't tell Mom and Dad! Plus, you and Logan do the same thing!"

"Yeah, but we're adults and you two aren't even 15."

"Viiiirge! Elliott's 15 and I'm turning 15 next week!"

Virgil shrugged and kept his eyebrow raised to tease his brother.

Patton perked up. "Wait, you guys aren't even adults yet! You're 17!"

"Basically 18!"

"No it's not!"

"It is if I say so!"

"Noooo," Patton whined.

"What exactly did you and Elliott do?"

"...why should you know?"

"I'm you're protective older brother, and I get to know everything." Virgil grinned.

Patton grimaced. "Well, we were studying and then they hugged me and I kissed them and then we were kissing!"

The older brother raised both his eyebrows. "Anything else?"

"Ewww, no! I'm a freshman!"

"How do you know what I mean?"

"Huh?"

"...what was I implying by asking you if you were doing anything else?"

Patton cocked his head in confusion. "You were... jokingly asking if we were having... sex, weren't you?"

Virgil let out an overdramatic gasp. "You are fourteen! Where did you hear of such a word?!"

Patton giggled. "You knew the word when you were ten! You were the one that told me!"

"Ohhhhh," Virgil replied, "That does make sense. Nevermind!"

"Wowww. Anyway! Where's Logan? He texted me asking me if I could talk to him alone."

"He's downstairs getting some extra lined paper. And did he tell you why he wanted you alone?"

"Nope, he didn't explain at all."

"Oh."

"If he lets me, I'll tell you what he said. But I don't want to break his trust."

"Yeah! I get it."

"Great!"

"Okay, anyway, did you eat anything other than Elliott's ass when you were at their house?"

"HEY! And yeah. I had a banana."

"What kind of bana-"

"VIRGIL!"

☆

"That didn't work, huh?"

"Don't rub it in."

"Well, what's the nerd's weakness?"

"Doesn't he have depression or something?"

"Yeah. But how can we use that?"

"Well, it always looks like he's glued to Virgil, so..."

"Sweet."
