Virgil is just an angsty teen. Who happens to be able to see ghosts. In fact, his only friend, Thomas, is a ghost. Virgil is perfectly content with his life as is, being bullied by the kids at his highschool in London, and minding his own business...
Sorry for the long wait between updates! Life has been crazy!

Virgil's POV
I ran my shaking hands down the front of my jeans - unripped, for once- smoothing them out. Remy was currently rampaging through my closet, searching for clothes that 'didn't look like I was going to a parent teacher conference.' Apparently jeans and a button down shirt didn't make a proper first date outfit.
"Bitch, I am so glad I caught you before you went out with that depressing outfit on. You look like a more stuck up version of Logan! I can't believe you didn't come to me for help on this! Especially since Thomas is busy visiting Remus!" Remy ranted, pulling out clothes and comparing them to me before putting them back. I sighed, allowing him to vent. Arguing with him is and always has been a lost cause when he knows he's right.
Eventually, he settled on the outfit he wanted me to wear and shoved it into my arms while ushering me into the bathroom. As soon as the bathroom door closed behind me, signaling that I was alone, I let out a shuddering breath. My first date. To say I was nervous would be an understatement.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be with Patton, Logan, and Roman. They were hot, popular, smart, kind, and I'm... me. And now we're going on our first date and I'm just counting the seconds until they realize that they're too good for me. I startled when I heard banging on the door.
"Whore, I can hear your overthinking from here! Tell your brain to shut the fuck up and get changed so we can start on your makeup!" I took a deep breath and changed into the clothes.
Looking myself up and down in the mirror, I looked surprisingly... not bad. Remy had given me a pair of black, ripped skinny jeans, a sleeveless, pale purple turtleneck and a long black trench coat that didn't close. I opened the door to the bathroom and walked back into my bedroom, finding Remy draped dramatically on my bed.
"Finally! You took so long!" he lamented. He looked at me and whistled. "Damn, gurl! You look better than I imagined! You are so getting laid tonight!" Remy declared. I blushed beet red and shook my head.
"Y-yeah, no," I denied, rubbing the back of my neck. I don't think I'm ready for that. What if they want to? Is it normal to have sex on the first date? I-
"Hey, it's ok, boo. I was messing with you," Remy soothed, presumably having noticed my distress. I nodded. "Let's do your makeup now, ok?" I shook my head yes once more. Remy directed me to sit on the bed as he bustled about, grabbing various supplies from my vanity. "So, I was thinking a bold look, maybe a purple eyeshadow to match your top." Remy quickly got to work, idly chatting with me as he applied the makeup.
Around a minute after Remy finished my look, the doorbell rang. I took a shaky breath and walked to the front door, Remy squeezing my shoulder as i passed and following me to the door. I hesitated before unlocking and opening the door, revealing my three boyfriends standing on the other side of it.
Logan wore a black blazer with a deep blue shirt underneath. He had on a black and grey tie and a pair of black dress pants. Patton was wearing white polo paired with a pair of sky blue pants. Roman had on a white shirt, jeans, and a red leather jacket.
They looked good. I swallowed nervously. "H-hi," I said, wincing internally as I stuttered. Patton beamed at me. I caught Roman looking me up and down, smirking, and Logan had a light blush on his face.
"You look stunning, Virgil," Roman stated, causing my face to heat up. Patton and Logan made sounds of agreement.
"You guys look nice too," I mumbled, unsure of the right thing to say. Remy sniffed and wiped away a fake tear, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"My little baby's all grown up," he cried dramatically. I rolled my eyes at him. "Virge, would you mind giving me and these three gentlemen a minute? We need to have a talk." He grinned dangerously at my boyfriends.
I reluctantly acquiesced, going to my bedroom to find a breath mint and to make last minute adjustments to my outfit.
A few minutes later, Remy called me back out to them. He had a satisfied smirk on his face, and Roman and Logan were significantly paler than when I left, their eyes alight with fear. Patton was unphased by whatever my friend had said, and continued to grin happily.
I sighed. "Rem, what did you say to them?" I asked, exasperated.
"Nothing, why" he responded innocently, summoning his Starbucks and taking a sip. I stared at him, unimpressed. Rent rolled his eyes, relenting. "I may have threatened them a teensy bit," he admitted , gesturing with his thumb and forefinger how small the threat was. I glared at him.
"Dude, what did I tell you?" I asked patronizingly.
Remy looked down. "...Not to threaten your boyfriends," he mumbled. I nodded, affirming what he had said.
"And what did you do?"
He sighed. "Threatened your boyfriends." I rolled my eyes affectionately.
"Now get out of here, Remy." I pointed at the door. He wished me luck and winked before exiting with no further fanfare. I turned to face Roman, Patton and Logan.
"So," I began awkwardly. "Where are we going?" Roman's face lit up.
"Why what a wonderful question! I'm afraid that, for the sake of the surprise, I shall not be sharing that information with you all. However, I am very excited to show you! Follow me, if you will!"
I took a deep breath and followed the three of them out of the apartment, taking care to lock the door behind me as we left. Here goes nothing!
