Wow. It's my favourite ship.

Virgil's POV

It was an average morning. I was holed up in my room listening to Evanescence when a knock sounded at my door. With a sigh, I paused my music. On time as usual, I heard Patton call from outside. I tell you, the guy worries for my well-being more than his own. It was unhealthy, but I couldn't really stop him from wanting to "protect" me or whatever he said he was doing. I found it kind of irritating that he constantly made sure I had enough food and sleep, but I understood that he had the best intentions so I never commented on it.

"You can come in Patton..." I called out quietly. It was surprising that he hadn't cottoned on to the fact I always left the door unlocked for him at this time every morning. He'd figure it out eventually, I guess. Patton walked in with a large grin resting on his face as he seated himself on my bed beside me. Honestly, his optimism was beyond anything I'd ever seen. In my dark, gloomy corner of Thomas's mind, Patton still managed to shine brightly and block out all of the dark thoughts residing with me. It made me admire him even more.

"Morning Virgil! I brought you some toast for breakfast!" Morality said joyfully as he placed a plate of toast on my bedside drawer. This was the part where he'd usually leave, but he, instead, just sat looking at my excitedly. It was as if he wanted to say something but was waiting for me to ask him. Not really surprising, with how childish the older trait could be. I smiled a little and rolled my eyes before daring to speak.

"So what's got you excited today?" I enquired. It was partly out of curiosity but also partly because of the expectation resting in Patton's eyes.

"Thomas is making a second Sanders Sides Q and A! You've gotta come, kiddo! We start filming in about an hour! Hope to see you there!" Patton exclaimed in a fast tone, before he quickly rushed out of the room, likely to tell Logan about the video (even though the intelligent side almost definitely already knew).

Another Q and A, huh? I didn't really want to be bombarded with questions but I couldn't let Patton down. Plus, it'd be nice to have a conversation with Logan again. It had been a while since I had seen him for a proper talk. It got kind of repetitive when my day consisted of petty insults from Princey and the protective nature of Patton. Logan actually made for a good, interesting conversation. Sure, the other two were great company, but he was different. I could for sure say how I felt. My thoughts summed up the big picture, but my anxious energy held me back from putting the final piece of the puzzle in place.

His outfit makes him look... cute?... no... attractive would be a better word.
His careful thinking and looking out for everyone in his own way puts me at ease.
When he accidentally makes a dad joke, it brings a smile to my face when he tries to desperately cover it up.
The way he answers everything so methodically...
The way he cares even though he hates displaying emotions...
The way he values me as an equal to converse with...

That wasn't even all the stuff my mind could come up with, but I didn't want to drone on at myself. The point was that Logan was perfect without even trying to be. But being me, it was a real uphill struggle to shuffle all those thoughts and observations into one defined thought. Eventually, I managed to get it... I held some sort of romantic interest in him and I didn't even know where it came from. Nobody else knew about this and I wanted to keep it that way. It surely would land me no end of negative, unwanted attention from the others. I had finally found my place with the others so there was no way I would ruin that over some stupid feelings that would never be returned-

I needed to take a breath and calm down. Getting worked up wouldn't solve a thing. I needed to distract myself from this tornado of emotions. Too many emotions just lead to panic attacks and nobody wanted that. With that in mind, I began to prepare myself for the video with Thomas.
