The song at the top is the first song in the chapter, it's literally like three paragraphs in.
Tw: small amount of self deprecating thoughts (it's mostly just Virgil beating himself up for not being a good enough friend to stop Patton) very vague mentions of previous chapter's (it's going down) suicide attempt
Virgil's POV
It's been more than two hours since Virgil had found Patton and he still hadn't woken up. Virgil had moved Patton on the bed making sure he was comfortable, but somehow ended up trapped under the unconscious young man.
'What if you were to late? What if he'll never wake up? What if-'
'Shut up! Worrying won't help him. I've just gotta stay calm.'
Virgil started singing under his breath, trying to stop the worries clouding his mind.
"Mhm I want to linger
Mhm a little longer
Mhm a little longer here with you."
'Why did he do it? He probably knew that death was better than having you as his friend.'
'It was just our misunderstanding. Patton loves and cares for us and only tried that because he thought that we hated him.'
Virgil sang louder to cancel out the invasive and uncomfortable thoughts.
"Mhm it's such a perfect night
Mhm it doesn't seem quite right
Mhm that this should be my last with you."
'He's been asleep for too long. He probably has major brain damage, or something like that, and is gonna be a completely different person when he wakes up.'
'He was probably just tired to begin with and is catching up on some missed sleep."
"Mhm and come September
Mhm I will remember
Mhm our camping days and friendships true."
'What if he wakes up and doesn't remember you. Or better yet what if he remembers you but hates your guts! That would be hilarious! You would totally deserve it th-'
'Shut up just shut up Anx! I don't need you right now! You're the one that made this happen! If you had just stayed quiet then I would have told him what I intended to tell him and THIS would have never happened!'
"Mhm and as the years go by
Mhm I'll think of you and sigh
Mhm this is goodnight and not goodbye.
This is goodnight and not goodbye."
"You're a really good singer." Virgil jumped as Patton spoke. Relief flooded over him before a deep set feeling of dread replaced it.
'What if Anx is right? I mean I'm the one who drove him to- No! I can't be thinking like this! I should just be grateful that Patton is alive and well.'
"Thanks, I'm glad you think that."
"So Virgil what is it that you wanted to talk about...before I overreacted?" Patton looked down ashamed of himself.
"No No no! It wasn't your fault, it was mine for not being able to just man up and tell you!" Virgil pulled Patton closer to his chest eliciting a small squeak from the adorable boy.
"You s-still haven't t-told me what you were g-gonna tell me." Patton stuttered the tips of his ears turning crimson.
"Oh yea!" Virgil patted along the sides of the bed before remembering that he had left the ukulele out in the hallway. "I need to grab something. I left it in the hall." Virgil squirmed out from under Patton, blushing as he realised the position he had been in.
Virgil quickly grabbed the ukulele from its resting place on the wall, and rushed back in. Patton looked quite confused, tilting his head ever so slightly as he silently questioned him. Virgil strummed the chords wincing as one rang out unpleasantly.
"How the heck did it get un-tuned so fast. I was just playing it a couple of hours ago." Virgil muttered pulling out his phone to tune the fickle instrument. "Sorry this was supposed to be a big reveal where I pull the ukulele out of nowhere and start singing.... There we go." Virgil strumed the strings one final time before starting.
The video is adorable and is also the song that comes up right here.
"Everything you do it sends me
Higher than the moon with every
Twinkle in your eye
You strike a match that lights my heart on fire
When you’re near, I hide my blushing face
And trip on my shoelaces
Grace just isn’t my forté
But it brings me to my knees when you say
Hello, how are you, my darling today?
I fall into a pile on the floor
Puppy love is hard to ignore
When every little thing you do, I do adore
We’re as different as can be
I’ve noticed you’re remarkably relaxed
And I’m overly uptight
We balance out each other nicely
You wear sandals in the snow
In mid-July I still feel cold
We’re opposites in every way
But I can’t resist it when say
Hello, how are you, my darling today?
I fall into a pile on the floor
Puppy love is hard to ignore
When every little thing you do, I do adore
Finding words, I mutter
Tongue-tied, twisted
Foot in mouth, I start to stutter
Ha, ha, Heaven help me
Hello, how are you, my darling today?
I fall into a pile on the floor
Puppy love is hard to ignore
When every little thing you do, I do adore."
Virgil strummed the final chord looking up for the first time to see Patton's reaction. Patton was sitting on the bed eyes wide, his hands clasped over his heart with tearful eyes. Virgil froze.
'You did something wrong. You hurt him somehow and now he's gonna cry.'
Virgil dropped the ukulele and rushed to Patton's side enveloping him in a hug. "Oh goodness, I did something wrong didn't I, and now you're gonna cry and its all my fault!"
Virgil was surprised when he heard Patton chuckle. "Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I've never had someone do anything like this for me ever before. Especially someone who I really like."
Virgil pulled back, seeing thatPatton's eyes were in fact shining with joy thru the tears. 'He likes me. He likes me! He really likes me!'
"Well I was kinda hoping that we maybe could go on a date together? I mean if you want to or even-" Virgil started but was cut off by Patton.
"I'D LOVE TO!! You can't imagine how long I've been waiting for you to ask!"
Virgil giggled at his little outburst, but was soon joined by Patton. They sat in silence for a couple of minuets before Virgil asked a question that would shake Patton more than he could ever know.
"So Patton, you said that you never had someone do anything like this before, but have you ever had a boyfriend before?"
I finally stopped stalling and got Moxity together, aren't you proud of me!
Do you want me to do overviews of the last chapter at the beginning of the chapter so that if you had to skip it or just are to lazy to go back you know what happened? Let me know because there are important things that happen in triggering chapters and I wouldn't want people to be confused.
