Virgil woke up to the sound of screeching. He got annoyed but refused to open his eyes, only shifting in his bed a little and trying to go back to sleep. This was until he heard the screeching again, but louder. He groaned, sitting up and and rubbing his eyes. He saw the curtains of the window completely closed. Roman closed them when he woke in the middle of the night and saw Virgil stirring from the moonlight.

Virgil turned around to look at Roman's side of the room and saw the tanned boy on his bed looking scared as hell. The purple headed boy raised an eyebrow, getting out of his bed.

Roman jumped from the sudden noise. "No! Virgil, back in bed now! There's a monster unleashed and it's in the room!" Roman said dramatically, but he seemed genuinely scared.

Virgil scoffed, slipping on his favorite black hoodie with a stormcloud on each wrist of the sleeves. "What's this big scary monster?" said the paler one of the two.

Roman whined, getting closer to the frame of his bed so he would stay as far away from the floor as possible. "A spider! I saw it crawl in during the night and i couldn't sleep! I tried killing it but it went under your bEd" He cried.

"That's why i screamed! I wanted to wake you up without leaving my bed" Roman said, holding into his bedframe like his life depended on it. And in his eyes, it did.

Virgil rolled his eyes with a slight smirk. "Seriously? A spider?" He mumbled, laughing a little. He got on his knees and looked under his bed to find a pretty big spider. He reached his hand in for a little til he felt a thing crawling on his finger.

The purple haired boy pulled out his hand and sat down cross legged, his back pressed against the side of his bed frame. Roman stared in awe and terror as Virgil looked at the medium sized spider crawling on his arm.

"Dude how do you-" Roman started, before stopping himself. Virgil laughed a little, still looking at the spider. "He's not a danger. Besides a couple cobwebs in the cabin, he shouldn't do much harm. We could even keep him. He seems to like the attention." Virgil said, after examining the black spider with sparkling eyes.

Roman tilted his head, sitting on his bed. "Fine. But you'll have to take care of it." Virgil smiled, "Of course. I wouldn't expect you to take care of him."

Roman rolled his eyes but smiled. A staff member knocked on the door before coming in. Virgil quickly placed the spider down, his face turning emotionless. It was honestly fascinating how quickly Virgil could put on a stoic facade.

Roman sat up straight, if that was even possible and put on a golden smile. It was scary how fast Roman could put on the American Boy next door facade. They both have masks they put on. Different masks, different reasons, but still the same effect.

The staff member nodded at Virgil and smiled at Roman, looking between the two of them. "It's 6:00. Breakfast time, pals." He said, smiling a little before leaving.

Virgil looked over at Roman, Roman then looking at Virgil. They kinda just stared at each other for a little before Virgil turned away. Virgil looked near the bed, but the spider had already found itself a new home, laying near the window. Virgil smiled, sighing in relief as he thought he lost the spider.

Roman looked at Virgil, a small smile growing. He got up from his bed, taking Virgil's hand and helping him up. "I already got dressed this morning, so I'll wait outside for ya!" He said, letting go of his hand and walking outside. Virgil looked down at his hand and laughed a little, shaking his head. He looked in his bag for some extra clothes.

He found a slightly ripped purple shirt, ripped black pants and a black jacket with purple cat ears stitched on. Patton made it for him. He put in the outfit and then walked into the bathroom. He borrowed concealer from Roman and put it under his eyes. It didn't really matter since he was going to put black under his eyes anyways but eh. He then placed a finger in some black eyeshadow and patted it under his eyes softly.

He then added some purple to the black for some fun. He looked in the mirror and frowned for a little. He had low self esteem and didn't necessarily like how he looked. He pulled at his cheeks but smiled, standing up straighter and walking out. He walked out the cabin, closing the door behind him as Roman looked over at him.

Roman smiled, "Stunning. Ready to eat?" He said, laughing a little.

Virgil rolled his eyes but laughed as well, "I'd prefer if we just stayed in the cabin and you cooked me some eggs while i played music but breakfast is also timed so we cant really do that." Virgil said, rambling.

Roman widened his eyes for a slight second before raising an eyebrow. "Pfft- Alright. I cant really do that so i apologize. Cmon, I'm pretty sure they have orange juice to come with the food today" He said, looking at his hand for a sign of approval to grab it.

Virgil smiled gratefully and nodded, happy that Roman asked before touching him. He did it all the time, but he was grateful either way.

Roman smiled, nodding back and grabbing Virgil's hand as he led him to the cafe area. There was an outside cafeteria and inside cafeteria. Roman looked at Virgil and parted ways with him, going to get food. Virgil looked over to where the food was and grabbed a tray. He put some food on it and grabbed some orange juice. He went outside and sat at a table. He waited for Roman to come but found him sitting with another group of teens

Virgil was very slightly hurt but brushed it off and tried not to think about it. He was then startled by Patton, sneaking up behind him. "Hi Virgie!!" Virgil smiled, laughing a little. "Hi Pat, how you doing?"

"I'm doing fan-freaking-tastic!! You?" Patton said, smiling widely. Virgil looked over at Roman to find him mouthing the words "I'm so sorry Virgil" and then after that he couldn't understand what he was trying to mouth.

Roman was just mouthing and rambling apologies, feeling really bad.

"Eh..I'm good" said Virgil, laughing a little as he watched Roman mouth useless apologies as Virgil had already forgiven him.
