Virgil slowly started to come to as the sound of whimpers drew in his focus. His eyes fluttered as the world spun around him. He couldn't find it in him to truly care, because he could still hear the pain-filled whine of whatever it was in the room with him. Wait, room?
Virgil's eyes opened all the way, ignoring the bile that rose up, as he tried to look around. He couldn't move. Not that he felt much... his body seemed to be really numb. No... He couldn't move because there was a pressure on top of him.
"R-Ro..." The whimpering stopped suddenly as a head popped up making Virgil freeze. "W-What..." There was a bark and suddenly Virgil was fending himself against an attack of desperate kisses. Virgil laughed as he tried to push the wolf away only to freeze up and start coughing. The wolf instantly pressed himself down into the bed as far as he can go as he whimpered and rubbed up against Virgil. "I'm... I'm fine. I'm..."
"Roman?" Virgil's eyes went wide as the door opened a bit to reveal Remus standing there. "I see. So that's why he barked." Remus's eyes shined with relief as he walked over as felt Virgil's forehead for a fever. "How are you feeling?"
"Numb." Remus laughed as he nodded.
"Makes sense. Logan's got you hopped up on drugs." Virgil frowned as he tried to push himself up only to cry. A paw went to his lap as if trying to stop him and he sighed. "Need some help?"
"Please?" The wolf growled the moment Remus went to touch him which of course made Virgil tense but Remus just burst out laughing.
"Come on. He asked me to help him." The wolf shook his head as laid his head down onto Virgil's chest pressing into him and making Virgil lay back down. "I think he's telling you to rest."
"I've been resting. I want up. I want..." Virgil froze up just staring at those golden eyes the wolf had. They looked so... familiar. He knew he knew this wolf. He'd seen it before. Once at the pond and then when it saved him but... No. He KNEW this wolf. He knew those eyes. He felt safe in them. The wolf made him feel safe. "R-..."
"I'm bac-... Virgil!" The wolf growled as it moved away just as another man walked in. Logan smiled as he looked around at everything. "You're finally away. It has been quite some time. Roman was highly worried." The wolf yipped as it shook his head only making Logan chuckle as he walked over to check Virgil's vitals. "It's true now shh..."
"Virgil, what exactly happened to you?" Virgil tensed up as he bit his lip and started to cry. "Virgil?"
"It... It was Roman." The froze up instantly this look on their faces as the wolf whined pathetically. "Not... No that... Shit. He didn't do that to me. I just..."
"It's ok. You can talk. We won't judge." Remus's glared over at the wolf who simply just laid down with this dulled look in it's eyes. "I'm sure Roman won't care if you tell us."
"He had a nightmare. I tried to help him but... He wasn't aware and he..."
"What did he do to you?" Virgil's eyes went wide as Remus's voice dropped to a growl.
"NOTHING!" Virgil cried out as he forced himself up only to scare the wolf who clearly looked panicked.
"Roman didn't do anything. He wasn't in his right mind. I don't blame him. I never blamed him. Don't blame him either." The wolf sniffed loudly making Virgil chuckle a bit as he looked away. "Things just went south from there. He told me to leave." A deep rumble came from the blankets making Virgil sighed as pet the wolf who was clearly distraught. "Well, that's not actually... I asked him if he wanted me here and he said no. So I left."
"But he knew about the danger..."
"He tried to stop me, Remus." Virgil just sat there crying as he gripped the blankets tightly. "He tried to stop me and I didn't listen. These wolves came after me and then this guy..." Virgil smiled at the wolf who hadn't moved at all since the story started. "He saved me but I was panicking. I panicking so badly that I tripped and fell down the cliff. It fucking hurt!"
"Hey. Hey, it's ok. You're ok." Logan carefully helped Virgil back into a laying position as the man just cried. "Your body is still healing. You need to..."
"Where's Roman?" The wolf's head shot up as Virgil spoke so softly. "I... I want... I want Roman." Virgil could feel as the wolf moved closer placing his head on Virgil's chest again as the poor man cried. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left. I need to tell him... I..." Virgil's eyes slowly drifted shut as Virgil's hand moved till he was holding the wolf's paw. "I need to tell him... I'm not mad."
"I'm sure he already knows, Virgil." Remus whispered as he just watched the two in bed. Remus sighed softly as he nodded over at Logan who smiled and walked off to do whatever it was he was going to before coming to the room. Remus met with the wolf's, Roman's, eyes and he smiled softly. "Are you absolutely sure you can't shift back?" Roman whimpered as he laid himself over Virgil like had before in a protective position. "Roman, I know you worried but that can't be enough to..." Roman licked Virgil's cheek again making Remus's eyes go wide in realization. "Ok. I understand. Just... try to calm down. Even a little bit might let you shift back. He needs you. You, Roman... not wolf you." Remus slowly got to his feet ruffling Roman's fur as he started to leave. "Let us know if anything happens? Lo and I will be just out there if you need us."
