Virgil is mute in this AU and he uses sign Language to talk to Thomas and Logan, but a notebook for Roman and Patton.

Italic means flashbacks, italic with 'quotations' means Virgil is using sign Language and Italics and underlined means he's writing in the notebook.

TW: Mention of nightmares and surgeries,

——————————————————

Virgil woke up, more tired then usual, but he expected that since he had been staying up late last night practicing. He threw the sheets off him, and heading for his calendar, grabbing a marker from his desk at the same time.

October 13th.

He stared at the square with a heart on it. Today was the day, and there was no backing up now. Virgil took a deep breath and crossed out the day, and heading for his dresser to grab his clothes for the day.

Taking out his purple hoodie and black ripped jeans, he slipped them on and headed downstairs, grabbing his beanie on the way, which was resting on the railing of the stairs.

"Hey virge, did you sleep well?" Thomas, his brother asked

'Yeah, no nightmares so thats good'

"That's very good, your'e planning on telling your friends today at the park, right?"

Virgil nodded. He had gotten a surgery a month ago and had been taking speech therapy for three weeks, but he prefers using ASL or his notebook because it hurts his throat.

"That's good. They'll be really supportive like always," Thomas passed him a buttered toast "and if it hurts too much don't strain yourself"

'You know i won't'

He smiled at his younger brother, and ate his own toast with Crofters. They usually ate in comfortable silence. They knew eachother and were really close, that only their presence made them feel safe.

"Want to start heading to school?"

Virgil nodded, heading to the front door and putting his shoes on. He slung his backpack over his shoulder, and opened the front door for Thomas. Said boy thanked him and got in his car and put the keys in the ignition.  Virgil reached for the aux cord and plugged it in his phone, and pressing his playlist full of P!ATD and MCR.  

The rest of the ride was full or Virgil tapping his fingers against his thighs to the rhythm of the song, and Thomas singing along to them.

"I have to go to the doctor's, but ill pick you up at the park alright?"

Virgil nodded and grabbed his bag and unlocked the door

"Have a good day Vee"

"You too," it was horse, but Thomas knew Virgil was trying his best and it meant a lot to him.  He smiled and drove off, look at his brother through the mirror one last time.  He was happy his brother could finally speak.

Now it was just Virgil, and nobody was at the school except his friends, since the all them got there an hour early to either do work together or just hang out. 

As soon as he had opened the front doors, the was tackled by a smaller figure.  He figured it was Patton since it was only him that was smaller then Virgil.

Virgil looked at Roman, giving him a questioning look as why the smaller boy was not letting him go

"Pat had a nightmare yesterday with you in it, he was not able to sleep and had been anxious ever since,"
