With you - Sanders sides human! AU - Book 1

Chapter 27 (Patton's POV)

"Virgil, where are you going?" I asked to my roommate as he sneaked out of the dorm.

"Uh, I'm... going outside," He answered.

"Outside where? Shouldn't you be studying for the exam you have this tuesday?" I insisted. Virgil, eyes flikered around the room, nervously.

"I- no. I mean, yes. But not now. Look, I seriously gotta go Pat," Virgil lifted his arm and started to scratch his neck. 

"Alright, but if something happens, tell me. Ok?" I respoded.

"Sure, I know. Well, bye," He said, closing the door behind him.

About three hours and a half later, Virgil hadn't arrived. I was worried about him. He didn't go out of the house often, and if he did, it was either for doing grotheries, which we usually did together. The other ocasions in which he went outside was either to study in the library, which he didn't do often, or to meet up with Roman and in ocasions with Logan. I had asked them both, and they didn't know where he was. I had also tried to text Virgil, but I had no answer from him. And like he had told me a couple of times that phone calls made him anxious, so I didn't try that.

Come on Patton, you need to calm down. I'm sure Virgil isn't in any sort of trouble. He is responsible, he isn't a little kid you have to take care of. But still, I couldn't stop the little voice at the corner of my head asking what if...?

bzzzz bzzzz, bzzzz bzzzz, bzzzz bzzzz

My phone! It was a message of Virgil through the group chat!

Virgil: I wanna talk with you guys

it's something important

Roman: ?

Patton: What's wrong Virgil?

Virgil: i cant tell u by text

where can we meet?

Logan: You can come to my place. 

Virgil: k

see you there in 15 min.

Ok, I was certainly worried now. Why on earth would Virgil want to meet with the three of us, and so urgently, out of the blue... I looked for my shoes, put them on, and headed my way to Roman and Logan's appartment.

I was there in a bit less of ten minutes. Logan was sitting in the couch, relaxed and waiting, while Roman didn't stop still, walking arround the room, sitting down and them get up almost inmediately to continue wandering. I decided to sit down next to Logan, but I sat much more stiff, the nervousness tensing my body. I'd like to know Logan's secret, and how he was able to remain calm and neutral.

Virgil arrived about five minutes later. He had his hood up, and he had his head down, so I couldn't see his face. 

"Virgil, stormcloud, where where you? What did you want to tell us?" Roman asked, rushing next to his boyfriend, so fast that he didn't leave me time to ask Virge the same question.

"I'm about to explain. Please sit down," Virgil replied. Roman did as he was told, and sat down next to me. It was obvious that he was as worried as I was, "Well, what I wanted to say is that... uh, ok, I've been wanting to do this for a long time. And I finally did. And I'm a bit anxious about it. So... Promise you won't laugh? Nor judge me?"

"Of course we wont! Come on, Virgil, tell us, what happens?" I asked him.

"I actually, agh... I actually had this idea, but, like... it's a little out there. So, um..." '

"Come on, Virgil, leave all this mistery aside and tell us whatever is happening," Logan said, somehow calmly.

"Well, alright, but um... Before I do, I should probably confess that uh..." He pulled his arms up to his hood and took it off, discovering how he had dyed his bangs a deep hue of purple, with a few magenta tips "I actually really dig the purple,"

"You dyed your hair! It's so cool! Can I touch it?" I exclaimed, jumping off the couch.

"Uh, what?" Virgil asked, confused.

"Touch the hair! It looks fluffier than ussal! Also, I want to know if the dye changes the texture or something like that," I explained.

"I mean- ok? So you like it?" Virgil wondered.

"Sure, sunshine. I mean, the colour somehow intensifies your edgy Emo energy, and it suits you a lot," Roman said.

"And your hair is so soft now!" I added, messing with it. 

"Come on, don't exagerate," Virgil said. After a small pause, he added, "What do you think Logan?"

"Well, it certainly isn't my preffered style, and I wouldn't do that to my hair, considering how dye is harmfull to it. Also, it'll degrade my apareance of a serious person," Logan said, and I noticed how Virgil's spirit shrank. It apeared as if Logan had realiced this, so he added, "But I have to admit, it looks amazing on you. It contrast with your dark hair and clothes, and considering your  colour pallete, it's the best choice. Also, it brings even more attention to your eyes,"

"So you like it?" Virgil asked again, as his face lit up.

"Yes, Virgil, I think it looks good on you," Logan responded.

"Thanks," Virgil answered, his face slightly tinted by blush. I turned to look at Roman, and noticed how his sight changed to look from Virgil to Logan and to Virgil once again. He sighed. And I knew exactly what he was thinking. 

Did I get you there? What do you think of Virgil's new hairstyle? I wanted to put it purple for a while now, but I wanted to wate for this moment in the story to do it. btw, I think we could say that we've arrived to the point of the story in which I based the cover on, or better said, a group picture I drew a while ago. Here is the link to the drawing:
