The Smell Of Vanilla (Sander Sides Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Hello, my dudes. I'm thinking of doing a short chapter later this week just specifying the characters family relations, name choices, etc. I feel like I should also say that I've only written 5 chapters and my google doc is 19 pages long so... wow. Also, I think everyone will be grateful to know that as far into this book as I currently have planned (which, granted, isn't very far) it is mainly fluff. I forgot to mention at the beginning of this, there is also side Royality (Patton x Princey) going on.

Warnings: Just assume all the chapters have swears in them, because they do.

Love from, Cora

He was in love with Logan?

There was no way. Virgil had only known this kid for a few days, and yet...

Virgil shook himself out of his stupor. There was no way that Logan returned his feelings, this boy with glasses and a NASA tee was clearly the classic straight nerd who would end up a famous businessman dating the most popular girl from school who was also incredibly beautiful. There was no way that he could love a guy, let alone someone like Virgil.

~~~~~~~~

Jesus christ I am so gay, Logan thought as he looked at Virgil. His smirk was beautiful and his grey eyes sparkled, somehow, with both happiness and sadness. Odd. And when he had asked Logan to continue with his explanation of the waves of light and how they reflected off of the spoon. And when he had let Logan talk about the stars for their entire walk. Logan was really gay.

"Lo-lo, you gonna finish the wets?" Remus asked. At some point, he had gotten another pudding cup from the fridge and was about to add it to his large stack of empty pudding cups.

"Yes, apologies," Logan had been staring at Virgil, "Also, Remus, you do remember me telling you it is not healthy to consume ten consecutive pudding cups, do you not?"

"I guess," Remus shrugged. He continued to eat. Virgil and Logan added the vanilla and Virgil stirred the ingredients together.

~~~~~~~~

As Virgil stirred he thought. He didn't even know if this group would accept him if he was gay, plenty of friends he had stopped talking to him once he came out. This group wasn't going to be different. He finished the batter and turned toward Roman and Patton, ready to finish the batter. They were making out against the counter.

Okay, so maybe being gay wouldn't be a problem with this group. He cleared his throat and the two broke apart, blushing brightly.

"Awwww," Remus cooed, "you two are a regular little Ruby and Sapphire." The others looked confused for a moment. "You know, with the red and blue." The other three laughed, Roman and Patton's blush got even brighter. Patton mixed the dry ingredients into the wet and poured the batter into a cupcake pan, sticking it into the oven.

"So," Patton changed the subject, "what should we do now?" He bounced on the balls of his feet, holding Roman's hand. Virgil raised his hand awkwardly. "Yea Virgie?"

"I-I, um, I j-just" Virgil looked at the ground, "wh-who the hell are-are Sapphire and R-ruby?" Everyone stared at him. Silence fell over the kitchen. Virgil's anxiety spiked and he could feel his heartbeat get a little faster.

"What the actual FUCK." Remus yelled. Both Realeza brothers started ranting, yelling at Virgil about how incredible some show was. He could feel his breathing get faster as their presences became oppressive. He was getting into panic attack territory here. He tried to say something but he couldn't speak.

Oh god oh god oh gOD OH GOD, he thought, please stop. They needed to stop yelling. He realized that he wasn't breathing at all anymore. Oh god oh god oh god oH GOD OH-
