I'll Meet You Halfway

Virgil searched through his backpack frantically, his hands shaking. He forgot his Calculus homework. He fucking forgot his calculus homework. Tears of frustration welled up in Virgil's eyes and he buried his head in his hands. He didn't have time to go all the way back home after his morning classes and get back in time to be able to get to his afternoon classes. Virgil got out for lunch at 11 and his classes after that didn't start until 1pm, but he lived off campus, quite a ways away, and he had other work to do. He couldn't believe he'd forgotten. Virgil had spent hours on that homework, and now all of his hard work was for nothing. Unless...

Virgil pulled out his phone from his pocket, squirming slightly in his seat with discomfort. Virgil's boyfriend, Patton, was attending a smaller college close to Virgil's apartment, and while he didn't have any classes today, he worked at a coffee shop fairly close by to both locations. He would be on break in a few minutes if Virgil remembered correctly, and maybe, just maybe, he would help Virgil out. The stressed college student ran a shaky hand through his hair before finding his lover in his contacts and shooting him a text.

Virgil: Hey, babe. R u on break yet?

💖👓My Heart💖👓: Sure am, sweetheart. Why? Is there something you need.

Virgil: Yeah...I left my Calc hw on my kitchen counter. M srry to bother u with it, but I don't have time 2 get to my apartment and back in time 4 class.

💖👓My Heart💖👓: Do you want me to bring it to school for you?

Virgil: Pls.

Virgil: I'm srry, this is probably really messing up ur schedule and stuff

💖👓My Heart💖👓: Not at all! I've been wanting to see you all day anyway, sweetie. 💖

💖👓My Heart💖👓: I'll meet you halfway. Sound good?

Virgil: Sounds gr8. Thanks again. I love you.

💖👓My Heart💖👓: Aw, I love you too, you big softie. And do you want some muffins? Cindy gave me a bunch today, they're chocolate chip!

Virgil: Ooh, yes please, I didn't eat this morning...

💖👓My Heart💖👓: TWO chocolate chip muffins then! I swear, Virgil, if you didn't have me you'd be a hot mess haha. See you later 💖

Virgil smiled softly, sending Patton a few heart emojis before putting his phone back in his pocket, his heart thudding in his chest and his cheeks warm. He couldn't wait to see his love. He was so lucky to have found a man like Patton.
