Just an overthinker, chapter one
Virgil's pov
-------------------------------
My alarm goes off
The sound of constant beeping ringing in my ears
I swing my arm around and quickly hit the snooze button on my phone. What time is it anyway, I don't have school on Sunday so I don't understand why my alarm went off..
I pick up my phone and almost immediately sit up. Damnit. It's a Monday. Where the hell did my time go?! It's my first day of college and I'm already off to a bad start. Oh well, I still have time to get ready.
I throw off my covers and sigh. I think about all the new faces, judging and staring at me. What if they don't like my clothes, or think I'm weird, or don't like the way I wear my eyeshadow I think as I get dressed. As soon as I go to leave my room I get a text message from an old friend, Janus.
I've known him since kindergarten and we've been in the same school and in the same classes since forever, and now we're going to college together, which may or may not help my anxiety today.
I head to the bathroom and begin doing my hair and brushing my teeth, texting him back.
-------------------------------------
Janus: hey, you gonna be okay on our first day? I thought I might stick around during our free period.
Virgil: Yeah, I'll be okay I think, new people wouldn't hurt anyone
Janus: if you say so, see you there
-------------------------------------
I lied, I lied more than ever, I was terrified of going, but if I didn't go that first day then I would have missed getting signed in, and wouldn't be allowed to enter the building, period. Though, I calmed down since, knowing Janus, he would follow me around the whole day as much as he could anyway.
I grabbed my backpack after making sure everything was in it. Folders, agenda, pencils, pens, extra papers, a charger, reading book, and notebooks. Everything was going great so far, now all I need to do is catch the bus. I leave my apartment building and take a deep, shaky breath before running to the bus stop, getting on the bus just in time. I think I was one of the only one going to college in my area, because there were only 3 others on the bus, or so I thought.
Immediately someone grabs my shoulders and I let out a high pitched scream. Janus and the 3 other kids on the bus laugh as I blush in embarrassment, quickly pulling up my hood. "JANUUUUSSSS!!" I shout, embarrassed tears pricking up in the corner of my eyes as my face was flushed red.
"sorry dude, sorry, I couldn't resist! You were right there and I just had to" Janus says in a happy yet apologetic tone, his voice being soft and understanding. "I didn't mean to scare you like that" I pout before looking over to his right eye, seeing he had an eye patch on. "Jan, why are you wearing that, I thought you were comfortable with your snake half"  "I am, but I thought I'd look cool and intimidating with it on!" He says, more than confident with his current look.
I take a small glance behind him and see two girls whispering to each other, and I immediately assumed they were talking about me. Shit. I knew I fucked up when I screamed, I'm gonna be the talk of the school, or worse, bullied..
Janus seemed to notice I was all tangled up in my thoughts, because he immediately snapped me out of it and turned my attention to him "you okay Virge? Are strangers bothering you again? They're talking out loud, they're only talking about each others friends"
I finally zone back into reality and realize that they are talking about something completely different, over thinking again, I need to learn to control my thoughts and stop tuning voices out. This is why I need someone like Janus to look after me.
The bus finally pulls up to the building and my breathing immediately stops. So many students and staff, what if they judge me, or don't like me, oh god, I don't want to leave the bus.
"C'mon Mr. Over thinker, lets go!" Janus says, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the bus, go many voices, so much movement, so much to look at and look away from, I was scared, libs shaking like crazy, and Janus noticed this, squeezing me hand before letting go "hey, deep breaths, you'll be okay, we can meet up after classes during lunch, okay?" I nod, taking a deep breath and smiling to him nervously "okay.. I'll try to keep calm today" I say as confidently as I can.
Janus smiled a sympathetic smile, and slowly walked off and into the building, away from me. Now I was alone. Alone and scared. As I was staring at the large building, I seen a human figure walk in my direction, oh no, oh shit, I'm not ready for this, what if they're coming to push me or call me names.
As the figure approached I slowly looked over to see a man in a light blue shirt, round glasses, curly hair, and a bright smile, oh god, what did he want from me.
"Heya kiddo! Are you alright? You look a bit pale so I wanted to check up on ya" he seemed nice enough? But why call me kiddo? I mean at least he wasn't bullying me. I just kinda nod in response, no direct answers, simply a nod, I didn't wanna say too much to him. "Want me to shoe you around? I've been here about 2 years now, and you seem new" he offers, and I nod again, taking a deep breath.
Keep your friends close, and your enemy's closer
If I was going to get through the year, I would have to at least get along with people, right?
And soon, I was following this completely stranger into a building filled with unfamiliar faces, this was gonna be a roller coaster of emotions.

This is my story off of wattpad that I had just decided to put here, do not repost, if I see this story anywhere else I will ask you to take it down, thank you :)
---------------------------------------------
Prompt: person A meets person B after person B runs into a stop sign
------------------------------------------------------
It was a cold winter evening. Snowflakes falling gracefully In the soft breeze. 
Logan was out simply walking around town, greeting shop owners and other civilians as they walked by. 
The logical trait had no idea why he chose to go out today, yet he felt as if he had something to do. He did, however, run into a few stores for some food and maybe some extra clothing, other than that Logan was simply walking around. 
Logan was nearing his apartment room, having gone around town twice and it was getting quite dark. As the logical trait approached the building, he heard a metallic thud and a loud "OW-" which caused him to quickly turn around. 
He almost immediately recognized where the sound had emitted from. All he saw was a short, blonde, curly haired boy in a light blue sweater. His glasses seemed to have fallen off and he was sitting uncomfortably on the floor. 
Logan immediately rushed over to help the shorter male, holding his hand out to him. "are you alright, sir?" Logan asks, genuinely concerned for the boy that sat before him. The seemingly positive latter quickly grabbed his glasses and took Logan's hand, stumbling to his feet"O-Oh, yes, I'm okay, thank you so much!" He thanks, making Logan blush and smile.
"may I ask, what's your name sir?" Logan asks, very curious as to who the cute male was. "My name is Patton, and your name isss?" Logan seemed quick to respond, "I'm Logan, Logan crofters, pleasure to meet you." Patton nods, blushing before quickly turning away. There was a long moment of silence, small talk back and forth here and there, but nothing more other than freezing out in the cold and barely noticeable blushing.
Finally, Logan broke the silence. "S-So uhm... Would you like to come over to my place or..?" Patton took a minute, hesitating, but in the end shook his head "No, I'm sorry, I have somewhere to be.." Logan sighed, putting his head down a bit in embarrassment and defeat, which Patton noticed this, immediately feeling a wave of guilt and sorrow. So of course, before Logan could speak, Patton presses their lips together, earning a soft moan from Logan is surprise.
The kiss seemed like forever before it was finally broken. Logan blushed, staring down at the shorter male.
"D-Do you-" he was quickly cut off "J-Just.. Y-Yeah.. See you around, love" Patton says with a shy wink before running off in the direction Logan only assumes is his home. The logical side sighs, seeing the streetlights were now on as he slid his hands into his pockets, realizing there was a piece of paper in his pocket. He decided to pay no mind to it until he had gotten into his apartment. Once he got comfortable, he quickly took out the small slip of paper. His eyes widened as he read what was on it the final words being "Call me ;)" he read allowed. Logan's face grew a crimson red as he began to dial the number.
Once the phone was answered, a familiar voice began to speak. From then on, they began to speak for hours on end, sharing lovely compliments and going on and on about how much they loved each other. They talked for now days on end, those days turning into weeks and months until they finally decided it would be best if they had started dating. Who's to say what happened next,
Who's to say maybe they're will be a part two ;)
----------------------------------------------------
Nahhhh jk, there will only be a part two if I feel like writing it, and if the chapter gets enough love, ya know?

This is my story off of wattpad that I had just decided to put here, do not repost, if I see this story anywhere else I will ask you to take it down, thank you :)
_____________________________________________
Prompt: Virgil lends their sweater to Remus. When Remus is home, he realizes he still has Virgil's sweater and finds Virgil's iPod. Out of curiosity, Remus looks through Virgil's music and finds a playlist titled with Remus's name..
Virgil sat comfortably on the couch, casually scrolling through Instagram (yes, FINALLY, something other than Tumblr-). He hadn't had much to do that day since Patton was out getting things for a movie night, Roman was writing the script for a new video, and Logan was out with Patton, probably just out and about to resupply on crofters since he was running low on them.
It was mid February, and due to the climate in Florida it was still quite cold to say the least. Though Virgil didn't mind the freezing temperature due to the fact he almost always wore his black and purple sweater, he seemed almost unfazed by the somewhat cold atmosphere.
Around the evening is when the anxious trait heard light shuffling behind him and he quickly spun around from his position on the couch, only to spot a  seemingly freezing Remus that previously planned on pouncing on him. "Remus? What are you doing here?" Virgil asked, as it wasn't very common for the dark sides to just come along particularly unannounced like that. "Oh the heater part thing in the air conditioner broke over on the dark side and Janus won't let me use his heat coil thingy, so I thought it'd be warmer here, and surprise surprise, it's FUCKING not~" Remus seemed to be speaking in an utterly annoyed an sarcastic tone. Virgil rolled his eyes and tucked away his ear buds, propping his arms up on the back of the couch. "Huh, that sucks now doesn't it" The emo said, still completely unfazed by the situation.
Remus looked Virgil up and down in complete shock. He wasn't shivering, and was acting as though everything was fine. The intrusive side then scoffed and crossed his arms, developing a somewhat snarky attitude towards the smaller side. "How the hell are you so okay with this, it's fucking freezing here! Are you immune or something?!" Remus wasn't very pleased. Virgil made it look so simple and easy to just ignore the cold, it was almost like the emo was taunting him. "Relax Remus, I just have a really thick sweater on. Here, if it makes you feel any better, would you like to borrow it?" Virgil tried to be kind to Remus, as he hated conflict between sides and wasn't one to want to get involved. In fact, Virgil did this willingly, he'd do anything just to see Remus smile just once. It was just a little temperature, how bad could it possibly be?
Remus stared at the emo like he was being taunted once more, but then eased up a bit, seeing there was no signs of mockery in his soft expression. Remus simply gave in, un-crossing his arms and giving a small nod, watching as Virgil then took off his sweater and handed it over.
Remus seemed so happy as he quickly grabbed the sweater and put it on. Though Remus was enjoying himself, this was a decision that Virgil very quickly regret as a cold draft of air hit him like a bus. God it was freezing, yet he plastered a smile on his face as not to let Remus worry. "Thanks emo, this thing really is warm!" Remus said in an almost happy tone. It was rare that Virgil ever saw Remus happy like this since he was mostly intrusive, so like any other side would, he took it all in while he still could. "You're welcome dude, I didn't want you dying from hypothermia, you looked like an angry ice cube." The emo smirked, using his little remark to distract himself from the cold atmosphere. Remus laughed, something Virgil just loved to see, thank god his pale foundation was covering his slightly red face. Though Remus could clearly see how satisfied Virgil was by the decision, and leaned forward, placing and gentle kiss on the freezing emo's face, causing the anxious trait to tense up. "I have to go now Virge, and seriously, thanks for the sweater, I promise I'll give it back" Remus stated happily as he then quickly sunk out. Who's to say he probably snuck out while Janus was distracted, he didn't even give Virgil a chance to speak before he left.
After about a week had past, Virgil had ended up borrowing one of Patton's sweaters, as morality had plenty, so yeah it wasn't his usual style, but at least he was fairly warm. After all, only a few hours after Remus left the week before was when the light sides soon discovered that their air conditioning had broke as well. Back with the dark sides however, Janus had been trying to get Remus to confess on where he had gotten that sweater all week, but as time went on, he had eventually given up. Around this time, Remus was in his room playing around with his mace, he honestly had no intention on giving Virgil his sweater back, as he loved it like his own, but he knew the sad truth was that he had to give it up sooner or later.
As the intrusive side swung hos mace one last time, A small object fell out of the pocket of Virgil's sweater. Remus stopped all he was doing and set his mace aside, picking up the object only to discover it was a dark purple iPod with Virgil's name on it. Being curious, Remus conjured some headphones and plugged them into it, starting to look through his playlists he had saved:
"P!ATD? Of course he would"
"Huh, I..guess.. Billie Eilish makes sense..?"
"ugh, and I think Lofi music would be for his panic attacks, I still wouldn't listen to that"
"AVIVA, again, of course he would."
"MCR, yep, That's Virgil alright, it's sad he only has like 2 songs in this playlist"
Remus went on and on over the playlists, until he came across one that caught his eye, 'reminds me of Remus'. No way the anxious trait really had a playlist dedicated to him, right? Remus clicked the playlist and immediately saw a song that captured his main personality, the one that he used around Virgil:
'Green' by cavetown
Remus had closed the iPod immediately and sighed, he realized the only reason Virgil gave up his sweater was because he cared for Remus, and you know what, that wasn't what Remus had thought at all, he simply thought the emo pitied him, nothing more. Turns out the emo really did like him back after all.
Remus acted quickly, playing a recording of him messing around in his room and locked the door so he could sneak out unnoticed. Once he'd done that he quickly sunk out, hoping Virgil was in his room, and to his relief, he was. Virgil was laying peacefully in his bed, curled up under his blankets, and the room completely silent apart from his very light snoring which Remus had found adorable. Virgil slept in often as he barely got any sleep once the sun set. The intrusive aspect guessed that he fell asleep around 4am today, and he only needed an hour of sleep, but it seemed as though he decided to sleep in the one day Remus decided to confront him.
Instead of waking the emo, Remus had decided to be very quiet and get in bed next to him. If Virgil truly loved Remus, then surely he wouldn't mind.
It had only been a few hours before Virgil woke up, a strong and warm embrace wrapped around his small figure. It had only took him a moment to realize he wasn't alone, quickly turning to look up at who had broken into his room; "Remus.." The younger gently whispered, causing Remus to flutter his eyes open and smile to the small anxious trait in his arms.
Virgil had to admit, he was loving every second of this, he simply looked up at Remus, frozen in silence. He had so many questions; why was he here? How long had he been there? And most importantly, did he even want to be this close to someone like himself. As Virgil's mind trailed off, he felt a pair of lips capture his as he felt his waist was being strattled. The emo didn't resist nor comply, he simply screwed his eyes shut, a few small tears falling from them. Oh how he dreamed of this, how he wanted nothing but to be loved like this.. He'd been longing for someone to love him back...
The kiss lingered for a moment before being broken, Remus placing a hand against the emo's cheek. It was firm, yet so gentle and loving. The intrusive side then used his thumb to wipe away any tears Virgil had, and gave a comforting smile "why didn't you tell me sooner Virgil" he asked kindly, a tone that Virgil rarely ever got to hear. "I was scared.. You'd reject me.." He spoke with pure honesty, and slight guilt for not telling sooner, after all he was the embodiment of fear and anxiety. Though nevertheless, who could stay upset at a face like Virgil's?
Remus chuckled as he sat up, scooping up the smaller trait and placing him in his lap and peppering his face with kisses. "it's okay now love, you don't need to hide it from me anymore, I've got you" Remus sighed out, reassuring Virgil that he had absolutely nothing to be afraid of. A beautiful moment of silence quickly followed those words, and Virgil almost immediately fell asleep in Remus's arms after that. He hadn't felt this loved and relaxed in god knows how long since he was always careful and on edge. It was a wonderful feeling, so great that it put him to sleep. Remus simply chuckled once more, laying his new lover back down as he took his place beside the younger trait, wrapping his arms around Virgil as he then too, drifted off to sleep.
Words: 1694
Sanity: 100%, this was beautiful
My sleep schedule: it's 1am and I have school, so idk, you tell me- :/
