"Virgil!" Patton noticed him on the couch, running over. "It's you're fault, all your fault." Virgil's own conscious told him. "Snap out of it kiddo!" Patton shook him slightly. Virgil took a moment to breathe, relaxing. "Patton?" He looked at him, his voice quavering. "It's a-ok, kiddo." He relaxed some.  Virgil sat up, hiding his hands in his pockets. "You o-" Patton then smelled smoke coming from the kitchen. "OH FLIPPER FLAPPERS, THE COOKIES!" Logan stumbled out of the doorway, coughing. "Sorry Pat-" Virgil shifted guiltily, the smoke having cleared up with Patton messily stopping the fire. Logan looked from Patton to Virgil, slowly walking over to the darker persona. Virgil's face was hidden in his palms, it was clear he didn't want to talk. Something urged Logan to talk to him anyway. "Are you alright, Virgil?" Logan adjusted his glasses. Virgil only responded with a hiccup."No worries kiddo!" Patton called from the kitchen, "the cookies are a little overcooked but they're still tasty!" Remus tumbled down the stairs (BEAN). "COOKIES!" He screamed, running in and grabbing the overcooked cookies without hesitation to go near the scorching hot tray. Remus ran back upstairs without another word. "Now I know who to call if I burn cookies again." Patton giggled. "Oh well, the cookies are done, everyone!" Roman trudged down the stairs. He was wrapped in a disney blanket. He grabbed a cookie and hurried back upstairs having noticed Virgil. Yep. He definitely hated Virgil now. But he didn't talk to Remus either.. oh who was he kidding? Remus was too happy to of not been forgiven by Roman. Virgil pulled his hood far over his face, on the verge (Virge) of crying again. "It's okay, Virgil." Logan, who was sitting next to him, said. "I've observed that crying helps you feel better." Virgil just toughened more. Crying makes you vulnerable, and if you're vulnerable, you'll get hurt. Getting hurt is painful, and he's just letting Roman get to him. He should just shut him out before he caught himself in a trap emotions. Virgil got up, shoving his hands in his pockets after slamming the front door. "Virgil?" Patton followed him. "Virgil where are you going?" He asked. "I'm going home. You guys fount him so I'm done. Goodbye, I'll be at my house if you want to talk or whatever." Virgil continued walking. Looking back was a sign of caring, and if you cared.. who or whatever you cared about.. could crush you.
