Lies and Dysphoria

Chapter 3-- bad timing

As Virgil stood up from his bed, he felt something drop into his boxers.
'shit' he thought, 'not now! Why now?! OMG'
He sprinted to his bathroom and scrambled around in his draws and found his stash of pads that he kept as hidden as possible.
He immediately put one on, disgusted at the sight below him. He could never get over periods.

Virgil was so thankful for baggy trousers.

After about 10 minutes of stressing and debating whether or not to join the others, he decided it was okay and he trudged down the stairs.

"Here comes pouty Mc pout face!" shouted Roman as soon as he saw Virgil enter the living room.

"Hey kiddo! So glad you joined us! Wanna cookie?" asked Patton, happy that his dark strange son had joined them.

"does it have chocolate in it?" Virgil asked, cocking his head to the side.

"of course kiddo! Your favourite!"

Virgil took one and sat down on a white pillow in between Patton and Roman.
"what film we watching?"

"MULAN!!" exclaimed Roman.

"you don't have to be so loud Roman we are in the same room" Logan said, without lifting his head up from his book.

"Logie! Put that book down, we are supposed to be watching Mulan together!" Patton pleaded.

"I am sitting right next to you, therefore, we are together" replied Logan.

"let him do his thing Pat, like he said, at least he is with us." said Virgil, trying to make Patton feel better as he could see the slight sadness in Patton's eyes.

The 4 managed to watch 6 films before falling asleep, all to which Roman decided on.
First it was Mulan, then Beauty and the beast, Aladdin, Lilo and Stitch, Moana and even after Virgil and Logans' protesting, Frozen.

After a long night of singing, binge eating and watching movies the 4 had fallen asleep together in the living room. Patton leaning against Logan and Logans head resting on patton, Roman had fallen asleep on his front after lying there, kicking his feet to the songs like a teenage girl. And there was Virgil curled up in a nice ball on a few pillows, like a cat.

In the morning, Logan was the first to awake.
'huh? Oh yes that's right' he thought 'I attended one of those sleepovers' Logan grimaced when he thought of that. Then he realised the position he was in with Patton.
He blushed and quickly, but carefully, got up and went upstairs to his room to start his day.
Completely missing the state Virgil was in.

Next to wake up was Patton. He was used to getting up early to make breakfast for the others, so he was usually one of the first to wake up.
He looked around, noticing the empty cavity of where Logan once slept. He thought nothing of it and sat up to which he saw Virgil, sprawled on the floor next to Roman. But something was different. The lower half of his body was stained. With..... Blood?
