Virgil raised an eyebrow in question as a quiet yet firm knock rang through his room. "Come in." The door opened slightly to reveal Logan. Virgil motioned for him to step in, sitting up on his bed and taking off his headphones. "Whats up L?" Logan tentatively entered the room, fiddling with his tie as he stands just in front of the door frame. "Patton and Roman have requested that I help them with the grocery shopping, but it is cold outside and Patton already put my jackets in the washing machine-" "Lo, calm down." Virgil had stood and grabbed Logan's hands gently, pulling them away from his tie. Logan looked away from the floor and at Virgil, "I apologize." Virgil let go of Logan's hands and put his own in his hoodie pocket. "So you need a jacket?" Logan only nodded, watching Virgil walked over to his closet and open it. "Why were you so nervous to ask me?" He asked as he rummaged through, hangars clinking. Logan began to fiddle with his tie again. "I know you don't like sharing things..." Virgil found a jacket and took it out, removing the hangar, "No, I don't like sharing with Roman. He never gives anything back. You're fine. Here, this should be warm, and it's not as dark as my others." Logan looked at the grey jacket and took it, draping it over his arm. "Thank you, Virgil. I will be on my-" "Wait, put it on so I know it fits." 

Logan didn't understand, but put an arm through- 'Holy shit this is warm.' He put it all the way on, straightening his glasses after zipping it up halfway. Virgil smiled, "Good, it fits. You look nice Lo." Logan's face heated up as he stammered out that he needed to leave. His face was calm again once he entered the living room where Patton and Roman waited for him. "Oh Lo! Is that Virgil's jacket?" Logan nodded at Patton's assumption and glared as Roman took a picture. "Good to see emo nightmare and nerdy wolverine getting along, though it spells annoyance for me." Logan followed the two out to the car, getting in the passenger seat before Roman could protest. Patton got in the driver's side. On the road, as a random song on the radio played softly, Roman tapped Logan's shoulder. "Roman, buckle up please." "No. I wanted to talk about our little emo." Logan rolled his eyes, "Virgil? What about him?" "He totally has a crush on you! He let you borrow a jacket! He doesn't even let Patton borrow his stuff." Logan's face heated at the thought, and he looked out the window at the moon. "He was just looking out for me as a friend. It's cold, my clothes were in the washer, he lent me something." "Cruuuush~" Logan pinched the hand resting on his shoulder and continued staring at the moon. 

At the store, Logan pushed the cart as Patton and Roman went up and down isles, looking for things. "Which crofters flavor do you want Logan?" Logan stared at the shelf, and one particular jam caught his eye. "This one." He grabs the jam and Patton raises an eyebrow. "That's not one of your usuals." Logan placed the jar in the cart, "I saw Virgil looking at this one two days, four hours, and five minutes ago. I thought we could try it." Roman rolled his eyes, "You're crush is ridiculous Poindexter." Logan glared and they went to pay.

"Virgil, should I give the jacket to you or put it in the laundry basket?" Virgil shrugged from his place on the couch, "You can keep it Lo. I have too many already." Logan nods, trying to contain the smile trying to break through his stoic face. He went to get ready for bed, saying goodnight to Patton who was doing the dishes. He changed into his grey sweatpants and almost too big NASA t-shirt. He turned towards the bed but paused. It was kind of cold in his room... He took Virgil's jacket and put it on again, zipping it all the way up. He sat on his bed, pulling the covers over his legs, and placed his laptop on his lap, doing some last-minute work. Eventually, his eyes started drooping and he placed his laptop and his glasses on his nightstand before curling under the covers, sweater paws close to his face. 

At some point during the night, the door opened. A light shaking woke up Logan. He sleepily opened his eyes to see Virgil standing above him, eyeshadow wiped off. His eyes were a bit puffy. "What is wrong Virgil?" Virgil just shook his head and lifted the covers. Logan scooted over and allowed Virgil room in the bed. Virgil wrapped his arms around Logan's torso, pulling Logan's head into his chest. Logan smiles into him and wrapped his arms around Virgil too, rubbing circles in his back. "Thank you, Virgil. Goodnight." Virgil kissed the top of Logan's head, making the nerd flush and bury his head further into Virgil's chest. "Night Lo."

They both got the best sleep they'd ever had.
