Trigger warning: mention of sensory overload and panic attacks
Virgil P.O.V.
The leaves started to fall, the cold air bit at my skin. Yup, fall. Everyone's favorite season. Great. I love fall, the leaves, the slight breeze, the amazing costumes, all of it, except one thing. It's loud. I get sensory overload very easily. Once I had a sensory overload, when Logan was calling for Patton.
<flashback>
I was on the floor, it was quiet. I didn't know if it was pleasant or not, it was almost like the silence was too loud. Then out of nowhere, I hear it. "PATTON! GET THE HELL OVER HERE!" It reminded me of Sevi, I started to shake. "I'm sorry! I'm coming!" They all started yelling, I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't hear anything. It was........silent. My ears started to ring. It hurt. Bad. I wanted to rip out my ears, it was so loud, but too quiet at the same time. It was hell. I thought it was just a sensory overload, but my breathing hitched, I started hyperventilating. I was having a panic attack. I felt like dying. "-gil" "-irgil!" "Virgil!"
. . . I was back.
<end flashback>
Yeah, I get a sensory overload pretty easily. So there is no way in hell I'm going to a fall festival. I was walking to the kitchen to get some water, "Hey! Do ya wanna go to a fall festival with us?" I hissed, my pupils were slits, my tail was puffed out, and my claws and fangs were out. "Aahh! S-sorry!" Patton looked at me, it was hard to see him look so afraid. "S-sorry..." I ran as fast as I could back to my room, it wasn't safe for either of us.
I was in my room, he just opened the door, in hindsight I should have gone the bathroom, Patton removed the lock from my door. "Virgil, I didn't mean to...you don't have to come, you can stay with my brother and his neko! Not to baby you, I just thought it would be helpful to not be alone, you know, since your panic disorder. S-sor-" I cut him off with a hug. "I love you, I will go if you want-" "No! I know you get a sensory overload very easily, and I'm sorry for even asking."
"Meow meow, bitches!" An older neko yelled, I hissed and jumped up. "Remy, Virgil has a trigger for loud noises." I heard another new person speak. Patton ran to the boy with a little pink on the tips of his hair, he hugged him, "Who are you!?!" I ask, loudly. "Sorry, my name is Emile, and this little guy is Remy, my neko."
Remy ran to me, it was weird for an older neko to just jump on me. "You're cute, small," he paused and sniffed me. "Ooohhh! You smell nervous! I must protect! Cat instincts!" "Emile, can you get your neko off of my boyfriend, please?" Emile came over and tried to pry him off from me. Emile gave a sigh and said, "Alright, you leave me no choice." He pulled out his finger and dug it into Remy's left ear, Remy froze. Emile started to scratch the base of his ear, and Remy melted into it.
"What is that?!" Patton yelled with aw. "That was his 'spot', every neko had one." Emile explained. "It feels like my brain is melting..." Remy interrupted. "Every neko?" Patton asked, staring at me. "Yup!" I ran.
Patton P.O.V.
So, all nekos have a 'soft spot', and I need to find Virgils. A few hours later Roman and Logan got home from work. They both went in the shower, and Virgil and I were on the couch. When Logan and Roman got out, they filled the space between me and Virgil, as he didn't want to be close to me, because the whole spot thing. "So," I break the silence "I heard from my older brother that nekos have this spot, when you touch it, they're brains, like, melt!" "Yes, I read about this, it is supposedly calming." I smirked at Roman, and he got the hint, then Logan caught on. "So, Virgil, do you have one as well?" Logan asked, he was closest to him. "N-no!" Virgil responded. "Okay, then I guess, since you don't have one, you wouldn't mind us looking for it?" Virgil just booked it. Roman got in front of him and held him down. "It's where the fur is, so ears or tail." Roman touched his right ear, nothing. Then his other ear, nothing. He got to the base of his tail, and Virgil froze, "There it is!" I whisper. "Aahhh" Virgil was completely zoned out, he was purringlouder than a yell. I got to his left ear, and Logan got his right ear. After a few minutes, we had to stop. "Guys, we should stop." Logan spoke up, Roman and I stopped, and Virgil whimpered. "Sorry, but, this is for your mental state." Logan said, it truly was for the best.
"Did you ask Virgil?" Roman whisper in my ear. "Yeah, he hissed and ran." "Sorry, does that mean he won't go?" "Of course it does!" "We will be leaving tomorrow, do you want to hang out with Emile and Remy?" Virgil nodded. He loved new people, only when they didn't give him bad vibes. So, this was very good! "Do you like them?" I ask, "They seem nice, they didn't smell mean." We all looked at him with confusion. "Nekos have a really good sense of smell, we can also sense things, like, we would know if someone is bad, or if they are nervous, and you guys have a specific sent, too. But, not anymore, all of our sents mixed." He explained.
"Wow." Logan stated, "We should go to bed." I suggested. "But who's room?" Virgil asked, "Hhhhmmmm, Logans room?" Everyone agrees, and then we ended up not sleeping, we watched a movie, Virgil fell asleep on my lap, but no one else did.
