(Virgil's POV)
I sat at my desk, crying. My stress and anxiety were through the roof, I was mean to Patton earlier and worst of all I was lonely. I wasn't aware that my roommate Logan was home when all of a sudden he knocked on my door.
"May I enter your space Virgil?" He asked through the door, I didn't know what to do, I didn't want Logan to see me like this so I didn't answer.
"Virgil, are you alright?" He asked, pushing open the door.
Sobs wracked my body as he stood there confused.
"Virgil, I need you to breath, in for 4 hold for 7 and out for 8," he breathed with me until I calmed down. For some reason I felt like I needed to cuddle, but I would never bug Logan with something like that.
"What happened?" He asked me rubbing my back, i didn't realize I was leaning into the touch until he mentioned it "you're touch starved."
"N-no I'm not!"I yelled defensively.
"Virgil, when was the last time you had a hug or even a simple touch on the shoulder?" He asked looking at me sympathetically, " and don't lie."
I thought about it, I first met Patton 3 years ago and he was always a touchy person. After I told him to stop hugging and touching me he never really did it. My parents are abusive and the only time I got touched them when it was with a whip, so technically, I've had no hug or touch in 3 years.
"Three years," I mumble hoping he wouldn't here me, but that's not how it worked, Logan had ears like a bat.
"That explains everything," he exclaimed. "Virgil, do you mind if I help you solve your issue?" He asked me looking at me with pirceing blue eyes.
"Sure," I exlamed nervously.
He led me over to my bed and sat me down.
"Would you like to watch a movie?" He asked me.
"How is watching a movie gonna solve my problem!" I snapped.
"Virgil you need to trust me," he added, "Black cauldron is your favorite correct."
I didn't answer him, I didn't understand how watching some stupid movie was gonna solve anything. He put the movie in and sat on my bed, he crawled to my pillows and blushed patting the spot beside him.
"I dont understand, what are we doing," I asked him while sitting beside him. All of a sudden he wrapped his arms around me  forcing my head down to his chest.
"Theres only one way to cure touch starvation  well actually theres a couple, but this is how I've learned," he exlamed while the movie started.
We watched the movie and by the time it ended I was sleeping and he was stroking my hair. I felt so much better.

I woke up and logan was still there.
"Logan?" I asked.
"Yes dear,"he replied.
"Thanks,"
"Anytime Virgil,"
