Chapter 7 Comfort

_Roman's POV_

I looked over to see Virgil fast asleep and loosely hugging his legs.

"He's asleep I suppose." I heard Logan say on the other side of me.

"I guess now I get why he probably goes here."

"Awe! He looks so cute sleeping!" The fatherly trait says standing next to his boyfriend.

"We must get home before it gets too late."

"Alright."

I picked up Virgil the same way I did before. He's surprisingly light compared to the others. At the same time, he looked skinnier than before. I'm sure this isn't healthy for him to be like this. We made it inside of the house and the other two went off to do their own things. I went up to his room and opened the door to it. I went inside the darkroom and placed his fragile body on the bed. I draped a nearby blanket onto him. I was about to leave until I heard something.

"N-no...p-please I'm sorry." I heard the anxious side cry out.

I panicked and went to him. I got on the other side of the bed and pulled him into my arms. I was surprised that he clung to me like it was the end of the world. He was crying and mumbling things that aren't true about him at all. While all of this was happening I was trying my best to settle him down by hushing him and running my fingers through his hair. I couldn't imagine what he'd have to go through to be like this. His crying began to stop but then I saw him looking up at me. He freaked out and tried to get out of my arms. It wasn't long before he started kicking and thrashing around fearfully.

"Virgil! Please! Stop I'm not going to hurt you I promise just listen to me." I said trying to keep him still.

"N-n-no! P-please I'm sorry..." He begged.

"Virgil it's alright it was just a dream...focus on my breathing...that's it you're doing great bud."

He stopped fighting me and soon he matched my breathing. I started to run my fingers through his hair again. It's been a couple of minutes since it happened and he seemed alright.

"T-thanks...you didn't have to..."

"I know I didn't have to but I wanted to are you ok mi amor?"

"I'm fine but what does mi amor mean?"

"Don't worry about that rain cloud do you want to talk about that dream you had?" I said in a gentle voice.

"...n-no not really." He said in a pained voice.

"You sure? I'll listen to you."

"I don't even remember what it was about?"

I knew that was an obvious lie but I didn't want to pressure him to something he's uncomfortable with.

"Whatever you say do you need anything?"

"I'm fine."

I was about to leave before he clung to me again.

"P-please don't leave..." He said desperately.

"Alright."

I sat back down on the bed and I pulled him into my arms. He looked nervous as he looked away from me.

"Relax Virgil do you want anything to watch?"

"You can pick."

I grabbed the remote off of the small desk by his bed and turned it on. I've already watched Steven Universe over twenty times so I just put it on Gravity Falls instead.
