Hello again my lovelies, trigger warnings for this chapter are discussions about trauma, slightly rape/non-com but nothing that descriptive, and brief bit about self-harm. As always take care of yourself and thank you for reading!

"Logan!"

Logan shot straight up in bed, startled out of his peaceful slumber as Roman barged into his room. Logan looked at his clearly distraught boyfriend and all traces of the annoyance he felt for being woken up in such a way vanished.

"Roman? What is troubling you so early in the morning?" Logan asked.

"Have you seen Virgil?" Roman asked, slamming his hands down on the foot of Logan's bed.

"No, of course not. He spent the night in your room," Logan replied, his brow furrowing with concern.

"But he wasn't there when I woke up," Roman stated, his voice trembling.

Logan felt his own gut lurch, afraid of a repeat of what happened two weeks ago. He took a breath to calm himself. He knew it couldn't be the case however, he and Remy both made sure of that this time.

"He has to be in the house somewhere," Logan reasoned, slowly slipped out of bed.

"No, he could have left back to the dark sides. He's been feeling so guilty about Deceit and with all the issues he's having with Patton he might just do that to himself," Roman replied, his voice edging on hysterics.

"Roman, calm down. You're still too asleep to think properly. Virgil wouldn't return to the dark sides, he knows we'd follow him and he is far too concerned about protecting us to do that. You know Virgil sometimes has a hard time staying still if he wakes up before us, he probably just wandered off somewhere. Where have you looked for him?" Logan asked calmly.

"I... This is the first place I checked," Roman replied, blushing sheepishly now that he'd managed to calm down a little.

Logan moved closer to Roman grabbing one of his trembling hands.

"Alright, let's go check downstairs and if he is not there you can go check the imagination while I ask Thomas if he knows anything," Logan said.

Roman let out a breath and nodded, still biting at the inside of his lower lip slightly.

"Roman, he's okay, I promise. If he's not I promise I'll let you kill whoever you need to, I might even join you," Logan added.

Roman couldn't help but smile and chuckle at Logan's comment. Logan gave a small smile of his own as he led Roman out into the hallway and towards the stairs. They were about halfway down the stairs when they actually stopped to look at the couch and stopped in their tracks.

"My heart has been stolen," Roman whispered, his hands moving to cover his giddy smile.

On the couch they saw Patton and Virgil cuddled up, hugging each other in their sleep, Virgil resting on top of Patton's chest. Virgil's fluffy feline features were out on full display and they could hear the soft rumble of a purr filling the room.

"I think more correctly your Heart stole your Stormcloud last night," Logan replied without missing a beat.

Roman raised a surprised brow at the nickname based joke Logan had made.

"You are so lucky Patton is sleeping or else he wouldn't let you live that joke down for the rest of the day," Roman chuckled.

Logan cleared his throat quietly, looking away from Roman.

"Well, this certainly is an interesting sight however," Logan said, changing topics. "I wouldn't think Patton and Virgil would be able to talk so soon, nor did I expect to find Virgil having his ears and tail out. He hasn't had them out since we returned from the dark side's mindscape."
