The sound of music - A Prinxiety soulmate au

chapter 4- Sunshine

Hours later, Virgil sat up on his couch, yawning. He stood up, surveying the now dark room, since the sun had set behind the dark rain clouds. Just know remembering that he set down Charlotte onto the floor. He scanned the room looking for her until he saw that she had climbed her way back into the terrarium.

He shrugged and walked over to the kitchen, his stomach whining since he hadn't eaten at all that day. He reached into the fridge and grabbed out a white monster and popped it open. He set the can down on the counter and stuck his hand into his hoodie pocket, reaching for his phone. His hand brushed a scrap of paper, and he pulled it out. It was Princy's number scrawled in fancy loops. He didn't remember putting it in there but he figured as much that Patton, who multiple times had tried playing matchmaker since Virgil had always dreaded meeting his soulmate, had stuffed it in there. He had done this multiple times, asking them for their numbers and handing them to Virgil with that dumb smile on his face. Virgil had always hated it but it made Patton happy, so he didn't really say anything about it. Later on he would always throw them in the trash, but something kept him from throwing out the man's beautifully written number.

He was about to set the scrap down on the counter, leaving it for him to decide later whether he would toss it, until his phone sounded in a new notification. He pulled it out of his pocket checking the screen. Ugh just another news report. He set it down on the counter next to the number and grabbed his monster. Sticking his hand into the terrarium, Charlotte climbed up his shoulder and onto his head. "Aww so you wanna watch Disney with me?" He always loved making bitter, cynical remarks to mistakes and lapses in movies. He sat down on the couch, carefully so he wouldn't throw off Charlotte, and slumped backwards. He reached for the remote, flipping to the Dvd player and turned on Cinderella. "You know what? Why didn't the "fairy godmother" just save her dad? I mean that was possible. And why did he marry her in the first place?" Virgil shrugged and yawned. Minutes later he nodded off to sleep.

~*( the next day)*~

Virgil woke with a start, hearing his alarm from the kitchen. Oh shit! What time is it? The movie was long since over and the DvD logo was bouncing around the screen. He jumped up from the couch, noticing the clock on the DvD player flashing 9 A.M. CRAP IM LATE FOR WORK! Virgil scrambled to the kitchen to turn off his alarm. Running with his phone in hand, to his bedroom, he dug through his closet to look for a polo shirt. Ah screw it! He ran back into the living room, grabbed his keys and was out the door within seconds. He locked the door behind him and pulled up his hood. It was still raining, Virgil noticed as he left the apartment complex, racing down the sidewalk.

15 minutes later he was at the cafe, breathing heavily. Logan, as much of a workaholic as he was, looked up from cleaning, unfazed. " So you decided to show up after all." Logan walked over towards the door. "S- sorry. I overslept." Virgil said, bent over his hands on his knees, panting. "Hey Logan. Oh hey kiddo!" Patton smiled, coming out of the break room. " And I see you didnt put on a polo." Logan crossed his arms and frowned. "Oh wow. Look Patton! A facial expression from logan. That's like a once in a lifetime ordeal." Virgil brushed past an appalled Logan. "Now Virgil, you know Logan just has a hard time showing expressions." Virgil ignored Patton and sauntered towards the breakroom. Patton followed him, still lecturing.

Virgil pulled off his hoodie and Patton screamed. "SPIDER!" He pointed at Virgil's hair. Charlotte Leapt off of his head and onto Patton's. Well shit. Logan burst into the room. Patton, still screaming, leapt into Logan's arms, bridal style. Virgil promptly ran forward and caught the flying tarantula as Patton violently shook his head. "EVERYONE STOP!" Logan shouted. He carefully set Patton on the floor. "Why would you warrant bringing this. Thing. To work as okay?" Logan glared at Virgil. "I-it was an accident. I fell asleep. And i'm sorry Patton, I forgot she was on my head" Virgil turned to Patton. "I-its alright. Although I didn't take you for the creepy crawly death dealer type." Patton gave a weak smile. Logan, still glaring, decided to actually stop being mad for once and said "Well, there's no use dwelling on it now. Virgil, how far away is your home?' "Uh, Maybe a 10-15 minute walk." "Ok, but just this once, you can go put your pet away. Since I doubt that it can be in this cafe. This better not happen again." "Right." Virgil hurried out of the door, nearly slipping in a puddle.

When he arrived, he scrambled up the steps of his apartment and unlocked his door. He could hear his soulmate singing some song he couldn't recognize as he set Charlotte in her terrarium. He scrambled out of his apartment and locked the door.

Virgil, once again ran into the cafe, out of breath. "Greetings, Virgil." Logan didn't look up from making coffees for that cute couple who seems to always be there. The shorter one with glasses smiled and thanked Logan as they sat down together, probably to talk more about cartoons, given that their bags have many pins relating to cartoons on them. Virgil pulled on his black apron and slouched at the counter.

The door rang, and Virgil finally noticed how dark and stormy it had gotten since he came back from his apartment. Three men came in running from the storm. Virgil looked over to see the Prince, his brother, and that other guy he met on the street. "Oh no no no." Virgil glared at the Prince and Remus. "What?" Remus smiled. "Uhh. Logan?" Virgil tried to get Logan's attention. "Oh yes." Logan looked up. "Uh Patton is in the break-room Janus. As for you." Logan looked at Remus. "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." Logan pointed to the sign. "Oh I don't want anything." Remus shrugged and sat down at a booth. "Uhh. I'll take a Tall Cafe misto." Logan lost all expression in his face (not like he had much before) and turned around to start on the man's coffee. "Soo..." He turned to Virgil. "What's your name?" Virgil stared at him in disbelief. "Uh. it's on my apron, idiot." seriously how dense is this idiot. "Oh right. Well my name's Roman" He takes a deep bow. A heavy shade of blush coats Virgil's face."You don't have to do that?!" Virgil hissed. "Well Mr. Virgil. Would it be too forward to ask for your number?" is- is he- is he seriously flirting with me? "Yes, yes it would be." Virgil spat. "Oh right! I already have yours." Roman puffed out his chest, proudly. "What?" Virgil glared. " Yes! I got it from your little happy friend" If Virgil wasn't already feeling an emotional roller coaster, now he is. "Patton, gave you my number?" "yes, he thought I should have apologized for the incident with my brother." Logan, now finished with the mans- no, his name is Roman Romans coffee, turned around and handed Virgil his drink, which he handed to Roman. "Here you go. That will be $2.35" "Huh? Oh, yea. Thanks" He got out his wallet and fished out his debit card. I handed him his receipt and he went to the table with his brother.
