“So are you excited for your date with Logan?” Patton hummed playfully, fixing the fold of this cream turtleneck. 

“Focus on your own date, Patt,” Virgil replied, peaking around the other side of the bathroom door. 

“I know, I know, I really am excited to see what Roman has planned this time. But obviously I’m excited for you too! This is your first individual date with Logan,” Patton chirped excitedly. 

“I swear you weren’t even this excited for our first date,” Virgil chuckled. 

“Well, I mean, I did kind of do it spontaneously. There wasn’t any waiting for either of us,” Patton replied. 

“Fair enough,” Virgil paused for a moment as he turned his attention back to the mirror in Patton’s bathroom. “So… Uh, what type of plans should I be expecting from Logan?” 

“Depends on his mood really. Some days he is very simplistic and sets up for a quiet and relaxing evening, other times, though much less frequent, he sets up dates that could rival Roman in terms of planning and romance,” Patton said with an almost dreamy sigh. 

“That doesn’t help me decide if what I’m wearing is okay,” Virgil complained. 

He wore the jacket and pants from their first date but he had changed his shirt to a light gray T-shirt with a low V neck and his shoes to ankle boots. 

“I told you that it’d be perfect when I helped you pick it out,” Patton said, slipping into the bathroom to be with Virgil instead of talking through the partially open door. “We are both going to have a great night tonight.” 

There was a knock at the door, pulling both of their attention away from the mirror. 

“That must be Ro,” Patton said before quickly rubbing circles on the back of Virgil’s cat ear. “Trust me. You look amazing. I’ll see you tomorrow, Kitten.” 

On that note Patton pressed a kiss to the top of Virgil’s head and walked over to the door. Roman was waiting on the other side in a white suit and golden tie, a bright smile on his face as he took Patton’s hand. When the door closed again Virgil took a quick look at the clock. Logan was always punctual, meaning he had less than a minute left. He turned his attention back to the mirror, checking his makeup again. At Patton’s suggestion he had gone with a much more natural look, forsaking his usual dark colors for neutral brown colors, Patton had helped him fine-line the underside of his eyes with white eyeliner to make his eyes look bigger and less tired. He didn’t put on any base makeup so his pale freckles were visible. Finally his lips were softly tinted by a dark pink lip gloss. He bit the inside of his lip nervously and held onto the ring around his neck before making his way over to the door, reaching it right as Logan knocked. Virgil opened the door to find Logan waiting on the other side in a formal suit and tie. Virgil smiled up at him as he stepped out of Patton’s room. 

“Seems I’m a little underdressed compared to you,” Virgil hummed. 

“I assure you, you look quite lovely. It is perfect for tonight,” Logan replied, lending him his arm to lead him to their destination. 

“So where exactly are you taking me?” Virgil asked, raising a brow.

“Just downstairs,” Logan shrugged.

Virgil’s curiosity was peaking. He couldn’t understand why Logan would bother getting so dressed up to go to their living room. Virgil found his answer however when they reached the top to the stairs and he was faced with the sight of their dimly lit living room and kitchen that no longer looked anything like it had that morning. The living room furniture was completely gone, replaced with a grand piano in the corner and candles that lined the room. Logan led him back towards the kitchen where a dinner of beef tenderloin, roasted herb potatoes, and green peas paired with a glass of red wine.
