Warning: Virgil being touch sensitive, mention of panic attack and that's it! Fluffffff

Roman's POV

For as long as I've known, Virgil has always hated being touched. He wouldn't let anyone touch him but would also be too nice to tell them not to.

I remember the first time Patton hugged him, Patton hugs everyone, but Virgil had freaked out and almost went into some sort of panic attack. Patton felt really bad after and Virgil explained that he didn't like being touched.

It was hard for Patton to wrap his head around it, but eventually he did and remembered to not hug Virgil.
Logan suspects it has something to do with some kind of ptsd or that he's just very touch sensitive, but none of us would dare ask him.

Sometimes I had to help him get out of tough situations, like large crowds or if somebody doesn't know and accidentally touches him.

It was hard for me to remember sometimes, but I always do last minute. See, I had a very big crush on Virgil. I just wanted to protect and hold him- but I couldn't. As much as it sucked, if he didn't want to be touched then I would respect that and not touch him.

Now we were sitting under our usual tree after school. It was a large blossom tree on top of a hill, cliché, except it was a hang out area for a few friends instead of a place where a yandere confesses her undying love to her crush.

Logan was quietly reading a book on the other side of the tree. I was sat, leaning against the tree, my knee up and elbow up on it, arm slumped down, ya know? Like the stereotypical cool hot kid in movies? Virgil was beside me, we were both listening to Patton enthusiastically tell a story about a dog he met at the dog park the other day.

Virgil had been looking extra tired that day, I had noticed. But he's always usually tired, so I thought nothing of it.

"And he was licking my face and the owner kept telling him to get down but he didn't listen so I was just on the ground laughing as the puppy made my face covered with slobber and it was so cute!" Patton rambled, excitedly. "Oh! And there was this other time that this brown and black spotted dog with a blue collar-"

Patton started with another, but I didn't hear him as I felt a weight on my shoulder. I looked over extremely surprised to see Virgil, of all people, leaning against my shoulder! His eyes were closed but I could tell that he was still awake. After a few seconds, Patton cut off his story having noticed Virgil did this.

Pat quickly ran over to Logan, shaking him so harshly his glasses fell off and he dropped his book. Patton pointed to us and I felt my face heat up in a blush as Logan first looked shocked, then smirked a bit and whispered something to Patton in which Patton giggled and nodded in response.

"What are you guys doing?" Virgil asked, watching them.

"Virgil! You're-!" Patton started but seeming couldn't finish his sentence so resorted to pointing and flailing his arms at us.

Virgil blushed profusely.

"I'm just.. Tired." He excused.

"Tired enough to voluntarily touch another human? Roman, at that?" Logan asked.

Virgil seemed to blush harder if that was possible and shrugged slightly.
I couldn't help but have a small smile on my face. I mean, I've wanted to be able to touch Virgil, not like that, for how long now? I've had a crush on him for how long now?! This was a huge step for him and he could have done it with any other person but he chose me!

We stayed like that for the rest of the day.

Over the next week, it was basically the same. We went through the day normally, meeting at the end of the day under the blossom tree. Virgil would sit extra close to me, but didn't rest his head on my shoulder again, much to my disappointment.

It was now Friday and Virgil, Patton and Logan were at my house for a sleepover. School was long done and we had decided skipping hanging out under the blossom tree since we would be hanging at my house anyway.

We were all in my room, watching a bunch of Disney movies because Disney is my life and my room is big enough for us all to fit and has a pretty large flat screen TV. Plus its hidden away from the trash goblin..

We had pretty much every blanket and pillow in the house and let me tell you, that was a lot. Logan and Patton were cuddling away- well, more so Patton was clinging to Logan just because and Logan was allowing it to happen. I'm pretty sure those two are secretly dating behind our backs.. I say as if I'm talking to Virgil while I'm just talking in my mind. Or maybe I'm not.. Maybe this is some cliche fanfiction a 14 year old girl is writing at 12am..! .. Nah, unrealistic. Probably 3am.

Logan and I made eye contact and I smirked at him, motioning to the two lovebirds as if to say "soo.. You and Pat are 'just friends' huh?"
He didn't reply, just blushed and looked back to the TV, ignoring me.

During that time, I had not noticed Virgil's subtle movements as he scooted closer to me every few seconds. Until he scooted so close that we were right beside each other, touching. He did the same thing he did a few days ago under the blossom tree and rested his head on my shoulder.

I tensed up at first. It was like when a dog or cat comes to lay down with you and you think its cute and like it but you know that if you make one small movement that could ruin everything and they'll leave. Leaving a cold empty space.

But eventually I relaxed. Soon enough Virgil and I were fully cuddling, his head on my chest and my arms around him, softly.

Logan looked back at me, noticing us and gave me the same look I had given him, in which I just glared at him, my cheeks red in a blush.

We were on the fourth movie and by now Virgil and Patton where passed out on top of Logan and I. My eyes were growing heavy and kept trying to close even when I forced them open, so I eventually gave up and gave in, closing my eyes and soon after passing out.

We were awoken by an air horn the next day, followed by intense squealing.
