Face Down (Anxceit)/(Moxiety)

Chapter 7

(So I made an announcement about this a little while ago but this chapter is NOT going to be for the faint of heart. There's going to be a lot of disturbing imagery, suggestive details and a lot of TW so I really REALLY want you guys to be safe if you chose to read this. Thank you!)

[TW: Attempted suicide, talk about abuse, heavy language, metioned alchohol consmption, attempted rape, and other things that I probably missed let me know if i did]

To say that Virgil had a small panic attack in front of Patton's house would be the understatement of the century. He was nervous about several things but the biggest thing would probably have to be meeting Patton's parents. Sure, Patton probably painted him as this harmless angel (of course Virgil wasn't comfortable with that either, he was probably as bad as Deceit if anyone were to really think about it) Okay, well maybe he wasn't THAT bad but still- a close second though.

But once he stopped being a little bitch about the whole thing, he decided that sooner was better than later seeing if he were to wait any longer Patton would send him a million and one texts or just straight (what is that? lol) up calling him. Sure Virgil had to establish a couple ground rules when giving Patton his phone number. But that was to make sure that Patton wasn't calling him when he was around Deceit or something like that.

Deceit would probably murder Virgil if he ever found out about the whole thing. If he hadn't found out about it yet. Virgil took a deep breath, "Okay Virgil, stop delaying the inevitable and get out of the damn car." he took yet another deep breath; climbed out of the car and slowly walked towards Patton's house, hands clasped together to have even the smallest chance of having his hands stop. Fucking. Shaking!

He raised his hand to knock on the door when the door flew open to reveal a beaming Patton. The only thing was that his hair was a mess and that he wasn't wearing his glasses. "Hey kiddo!"

"Uhhh hey Pat, you just wake up?"

"Mmmmmmaaaayyyyyybbbbbeeeeee...." Patton was grinning like a cheshire cat.

"Just let me in you dumb dork." Virgil laughed.

Patton laughed before dragging Virgil up the stairs and to his bedroom. "Now boys don't have too much fun up there." Patton's mother called up after them.

"MOM!" Patton shouted just before shoving Virgil in and locking the door.

"Just to be clear, we aren't doing any of that stuff right?" Virgil asked, looking at Patton with concern.

"What?! Of course not! We're... just friends right?" Patton asked.

Virgil paused, the way Patton asked that seemed so weird to him. Like it hurt Patton to say they were "just friends." Before shaking those thoughts off entirely "of course". Virgil paused before whispering "Even Dee and I never got that far."

Virgil thought the comment went unnoticed by Patton but it wasn't. In fact, it blew Patton's mind. Patton would constantly be walking up and down the halls of their school listening to people try and guess how many times Virgil and Deceit fucked that week. But that proved that Deceit had "some" decency. Even if it was VERY small.

"So, Virgil what do you want to do first?"

"Uhhh...."

"Want to watch a movie or something?"

"Weren't we here to work on the project or something?"

"Yes, but my brothers home and if he hears us working, than he's just gonna burst in saying how he did the project last year and how we're "doing it wrong."

"I HEARD THAT!" The both of them heard a yell from some other part of the house; causing the two of them to erupt into uncontrolled hysterics.

Patton looked over in Virgil's direction and for a moment saw a glint of true happiness in Virgil's eyes. Sure, Virgil had told Patton on countless occasions that he's perfectly fine and he's happy but one thing that Patton had learned the hard way is that he's quite excellent at reading behind the eyes and seeing true emotions.
