Hello, fellow fanders!

I felt like crap this morning but now I don't so I'm writing again! Jeez, you'd think I have nothing better to do, huh. Actually 36 even though it was pretty bad only took me like two hours to write, so the summer energy seems to have penetrated my brain.

I'm sorry this is late, Chrismas celebrations called. Although, now since I've got a planner thing, hopefully my updates will actually stick to where they're supposed to be. :/

Also, I can't find the complete button. I've turned on story status on my last one, and when I click on the help icon, it just says please inform your audience once your story has been completed or something like that, which doesn't help, because I have no clue how to. I'm pretty sure I have, but when I go on it as a reader the blue COMPLETED doesn't show up and now I am confuzzled.

Yes Virgil was aware that this was sort of creepy. No Virgil was not open to constructive criticism.

He felt as though he and Logan knew each other enough that staring at the other boy as a means of collective information was excusable. Still not the best course of action, but what was he supposed to do? Go up to him and ask? No way in fucking hell.

Logan was the one who played aggressive therapist, not Virgil. All of that advice giving and talking through issues wasn't Virgil strong suit. Besides, Logan didn't seem like wanted to be talking about anything at the moment.

He was sitting hunched over on his bed, the screen open and displaying google. Virgil frowned as he noticed that Logan still hadn't downloaded a theme. What was the point of just looking at white? It made no sense to him. Virgil's own screensaver was one of those switching extensions, which at the moment displayed multiple types of spiders. Patton had cried the first time he saw it, and so Virgil was considering changing it, but at least he had one, unlike a certain tie-clad male.

Virgil frowned. Logan was fiddling with his tie; it was a habit he'd picked up from Virgil. Virgil did it when he was nervous, and so it made sense that Logan would do it when he was nervous too, right? He's pretty sure that's how the chameleon effect worked...

Either way, Logan clearly wasn't relaxed. For one his posture was almost as bad as Virgil's, something that rarely happened. Along with fiddling with his tie, he was sitting there without even searching something up. He'd received countless lectures from the boy about his screen time, so it was weird that Logan was staring at one with no foreseeable purpose.

Logan hummed and Virgil flinched, before meeting the question gaze that was directed at him from across the room.

"May I ask why you're staring at me?" Virgil's face went red, but he cleared his throat nonetheless.

"You're fiddling with your tie, staring at a blank search screen, and you're hunched over." Logan stared at him. "So I'm like ninety-eight percent sure you're nervous or stressed or something." Another blank stare. "Well?"

Logan grumbled something along the lines of 'damn body language youtube videos' as he drew his notebook out of his bag and added another tally to Virgil's page. Virgil snickered before asking, "Am I ahead of you yet?"
"We're tied." said Logan irritably snapping the book shut.

"So you are stressed." The younger boy shrugged, shutting his laptop screen quietly.
"I dunno."
"Do you wanna talk about it maybe?"
"Maybe later." Hmmmmmmmm.

"Then do you want to do something else?" Logan looked up. "To take your mind off it?"

Logan stared at Virgil. Virgil stared at Logan. Slowly Logan's expression softened, he looked down at his hands before nodding.
