Virgil eyes flickered and opened on hearing the gentle whirr of an engine and the soft murmur of voices. He tensed and his eyes snapped shut again when he realised he was in a car. It took a moment for him to recall the events of the previous...how long had he been asleep? Had he fallen asleep? He had no idea. It could be the next day for all he knew.
He was leaning against someone, whom he assumed was Patton or Logan and the light filtering through his eyelids was faint. How long had it been? He was jolted out of his thoughts on hearing his name."What are we going to do?" It was Logan's mother. From the soft tone of her voice it was safe to assume Logan and Patton were asleep.
"We have to go the police," Came the reply from Logan's father; Virgil realised he didn't know even their last names. He froze again on hearing that but kept his eyes firmly shut and kept listening.
"What will happen to Virgil if we do?"
"He will have to g-," He cut of as Patton stirred, stretching and yawing.
"Oh good You're awake. We're almost at your house," Logan's mother said.
Patton nudged Virgil, who feigned waking up. Glancing out of the window he saw that it was almost completely dark outside, with only the tiniest sliver of sunlight remaining.
"Hey," Patton said softly so as not to wake Logan, "You Ok?"
Virgil nodded, smiling weakly. For once he wasn't lying. He did fell much better. He had been bottling up so much pain for too long. Not perfect, but better.
"Virgil?," Logan's mother asked, "Are you ok to stay with Patton for a few days? We need to sort some things out,"
(A/N I have no idea how court n shit works and don't really want to talk about it for reasons so I will probably gloss over that part of the story so be prepared for BIG time skips later ok? Ok)"Yeah I'm fine with that," he said, trying to inject his voice with as much confidence as possible.
"Mrs Crofter? Can Logan stay over tonight?," Patton asked, putting on his bets puppy-dog face. (cliche Logan last name but I don't care it's funny leave me alone it's better than berry😆)
Mrs Crofter sighed, smiling.
"Because I trust you I'll say yes this once,"-Time Skip cuz I'm lazyyyyy-
Virgil was changing in Patton's bathroom when he got a notification from his old, battered phone.

[Riends went offline]
Virgil chuckled softly before leaving the bathroom and wandering across the hall to Patton's room. He stood in the doorway for a minute smiling as he watched Patton who was slowly edging along the floor towards Logan, sitting cross legged with a book in his lap, completely oblivious to the oncoming threat. (I find that so hilarious and I don't know why😂😂😂)
Patton glanced up, putting a finger to his lips on seeing Virgil before continuing to scoot along the floor. When he reached Logan he wriggled under the boys arm until he was almost in his lap. Logan set down his book to watch him struggle without saying a word, a look of amusement on his face.
"What are you trying to accomplish?"
"Just keep reading," Patton, who had someone managed to make it into Logan's lap, said.
Logan sighed, picked up his book and, resting his chin on Patton's head, began reading again.
They looked so adorable that Virgil rummaged around in his bag until he found a pencil and paper. Sitting down on the bed he began to sketch, his brow furrowed in concentration.
