Y/N stared slightly at the darkly clothes male, leaning against the wall near the slushy machine, "You've drank four of those since I came in here." He commented, handing over the items the Sanders has asked for him to get to the cashier.

"And you've been watching me drink them since you came in here." Virgil replied, taking a sip from his iced drink.

"Touché."

Virgil walked away from the wall and towards Y/N, looking down at the stuff on the check out, "So, your the Sanders little lap dog now as well?"

Y/N's cheeks flushed slightly, "No. I... Volunteered to go." He crossed his arms across his chest.

"Course you did."

Y/N turned to face him properly, watching as Virgil took another sip from his drink, "Do you even know how much sugar you've probably drank? Do your parents know you drink all this crap?"

Virgil shrugged, "One doesn't really care and one can't find out anymore." He said vaguely, "I assume you're wondering why I'm standing around in 7/11, alone and drinking slushy after slushy?"

"Well, the thought did cross my mind." Y/N said while he dug through his jean pockets for the cash he had bring to pay for his stuff. He handed the bill over while Virgil began to talk again.

"It's the ice, you see." Virgil started, "Pain demands to be felt, so, you might as well hold it back with a taste of its own medicine."

"So you spend your time fighting pain with more pain, instead of finding the source of that original pain and solving the problem?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

Y/N scoffed slightly, rolling his eyes, "Mature."

Virgil gave him a gentle smirk, "You know it. But c'mon, try it." He tilted the cup towards Y/N, offering it for him to take, "Just one quick hit."

"You're ridiculous." Y/N mumbled, stuffing the spare change the cashier handed back into his pocket. He hesitated a moment before grabbing the offered cup and bringing it closer to put the straw in his mouth. Y/N gave Virgil one last hesitant look before taking a quick long sip.

Y/N screwed his eyes shut as the sharp pain reached his head, "Ouch ouch ouch ouch." He muttered.

Virgil chuckled, casually taking a sip of the same slushy, "See? Don't you feel sooooo much better now?"

Y/N opened his eyes to glare at Virgil, "Don't test me."

Virgil simply smirked at him, "C'mon L/N, freeze your brain. Swim in the ice get lost in the pain. Shut your eyes tight, till you vanish from sight let nothing remain-"

Y/N raised one hand in a stopping motion, "Hold up. 'freeze your brain'? Is that some witty attempt at a play on the phrase 'brain freeze'?"

"That's all it is." Virgil nodded, "Shatter your skull, fight pain with more pain. Forget who you are, unburden your load, forget in six weeks you'll be back on the road."

"You travel a lot?"

"I've been through ten high schools. Dad keeps two suit cases packed in the den, so it's only a matter of when." Virgil shrugged, sipping his slushy.

For some reason, this touched Y/N's heart. He suddenly felt a large amount of sympathy for the slushy-crazed boy. He took a deep breath before speaking again, "So I guess, your logic is... When the voice in your head says you're better off dead don't open a vein... Just freeze your brain?"

"Freeze your brain." Virgil confirmed.
