Sanders Sides ONE SHOTS

A Very Merry Christmas • Prinxiety and Logicality

Virgil yawned tiredly as he made his way down the stairs and into the common room where the others were already waiting for him, all gathered around the tree. Virgil was in nothing but a My Chemical Romance shirt and black pyjama pants with white snowflakes scattered about. Hey, he had to be festive somehow.

As soon as he stepped foot into the room, the others' heads all turned almost simultaneously and immediately smiled at him (Roman's smile was the biggest and brightest, of course), gesturing with their hands to come sit down with them.

Virgil smiled lightly back at them and plopped down onto the ground beside his boyfriend, Roman, and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Roman then quickly wrapped his arm around the emo boy's shoulders and tugged him a bit closer.

"Ew, human contact." Virgil quipped jokingly with a heartfelt laugh.

"You love me." Roman elegantly smiled back at him.

"Sadly." Virgil sighed and leaned his head on the prince's shoulder, obviously tired seeing as he had forced himself to drag himself out of bed at an ungodly hour just to open up some gifts and to celebrate a holiday that only comes once a year. The limits he'd go just to make his best friends and boyfriend happy.

"Alright!" Patton clapped. "Who's going first?" He glanced around the semicircle. "Oh! Virgil! I have a special gift for you!"

The moral trait leaned over and dug through the heavy and light boxes that draped over each other until he found a medium sized box wrapped in black, sparkly wrapping paper. He made a sound of triumph as he quickly hauled it out of the pile and handed it to Virgil, smiling giddily.

Virgil carefully slid the box from Patton's grasp and smiled fondly at the childlike trait. "Cool wrapping, Pat." He laughed.

Then, as if the box were a delicate gem, he slowly pulled off the ribbon that was tied around it (and Roman certainly didn't roll his eyes at that) and tore open the paper, removing the lid of the box that was reminiscent of the previously there paper on top of it.

He quickly threw off the lid and raised his eyebrow on confusion at the round piece of paper in it. He looked up at Patton with his eyebrow still raised, as if to question his friend.

"Just unroll it!!" Patton squealed, being held back by Logan so that he doesn't tackle Virgil right there and then. Virgil giggled at Patton's eagerness and grabbed the roll in a soft grasp, peeling the rubber band off and unrolling the sheet like Patton had asked. His jaw dropped.

"This, this can't be— this has to be fake."

Patton shook his head with a smirk. "Nope. Not fake."

"This— this is so rare! How did you—?"

Virgil sat in shock as he held in his hands a super rare, super expensive My Chemical Romance poster from years and years ago. It was signed by all of the members and had a nice message from Gerard written on the back. Virgil had wanted one for ages— ever since it came out but he never had the money to be able to afford it, and he couldn't save up for it because there were only five in existence. Whoever managed to snag one up was probably luckier than an old, homeless man winning the lottery.

"I put it through many tests," Patton started, making Virgil jump a bit but quickly tuned in to Patton's words. "I ran it by about twenty people that do this sort of stuff— you know, checking to see whether things are authentic or not, and if they're really from a specific time frame, and so on, and they all came to the conclusion that this exact poster was indeed one of the five that were sold in 2005!" Patton smiled brightly. "Some of the tests even showed that their fingerprints are still on it."
