*tw: underage drinking, please don't do this irl :))*
Virgil met Janus and his friend who he supposedly had a crush on at the studio. The friend stood tall and wore glasses and formal wear.
Janus was very obviously freaking out internally in the presence of Virgil but trying to seem cool.
All while the friend was effortlessly chill about meeting the superstar. "It's nice to meet you, Virgil. Both my friends are huge fans. I'm just here to drop off Janus because he was dumb enough to key his own car while drunk thinking it was the president's car-"
"Logan," Janus said through clenched teeth warningly.
Virgil snickered. "Don't be embarrassed. I mean, that's an embarrassing story, but I've done dumber shit."
Logan smiled and held out a hand to Virgil. "I'm Logan Decker."
Virgil suddenly remembered these guys would be in his grade if he was at college, so this Logan guy was oddly formal. He shook his hand anyway. "I'm Virgil."
He winced at his own words.
Everyone knows that you're Virgil, you dumb fuck.
When Logan couldn't think of an intelligent response to that mistake of a sentence, Janus stepped in. "Well, uh, should we get started?"
"Sure," Logan said with a nod. "I'm picking you up at 7, Janus. Remember we have that party Roman wants us to go to at 9. I'm not going to that shitshow without you."
Once he was a good distance away, Virgil smirked. "Is that-"
"Yeah..." Janus replied. He talked while they walked into a smaller section of the studio. "My other friend who had me tell you about Logan is this theatre guy named Roman. He's at rehearsal right now, but he's been a fan since like, freshman year of high school."
Virgil pulled out a key but his hand froze when he heard that. "Freshman year? Holy shit!" He unlocked the door and they sat down at a table. "I barely had any fans. He was seriously that much of an OG?"
"Yeah, and he's still crazy about you. He almost passed out when he saw notifications from you on my phone," Janus laughed.
"That's so fucking cool. Have me meet him soon, that'd be sick!"
When they actually began to work on the song, Virgil said, "When I told you I had some ideas, I just tried to do little snippets of these things." He opened his computer and played a few different sound clips of production without lyrics. "I just tried to combine some stuff we do to experiment, and like your vibe plus mine. Y'know."
Janus nodded. "I really like these two." He pointed to two samples Virgil created. "How about we combine them? The second sounds more like a chorus to me."
"Me too. For the lyrics, what's Logan like? I mean, past his nerdiness?"
"Hey! I mean... Nah, you're right. But he's- he's the best."
Virgil let Janus ramble about his crush. The slightly younger one blushed profusely at confessing all this to a stranger, especially a stranger like Virgil Cassidy.
Neither liked the style of the standard pop love song that was mass produced to hell and back on the radio, so the message they scribbled down was more subtle. They mentioned glasses and freckles because Janus wasn't just going to show Logan the song and say, "This is for you, I'm in love with you" but instead him and Roman would make Logan listen and then come to a realization on his own.
Janus switched his seat to in front of a keyboard and improvised some chords to go along with Virgil had already produced.
Surprisingly soon, it was 7 PM. Virgil had a final review for his music video and Logan was ready in his car to pick up Janus.
