The Fate of the Marked Six Masterlist

Summary: Virgil moves into a new town and meets Roman, a ghost that he promises to help in finding the unfinished business needed to pass over. However, Roman's past seemed to be deeply muddled with trouble, an uncurable disease that has started to affect a classmate, and a certain tight-lipped valedictorian. Friendships are made and Virgil finds himself thrown into a situation far more complicated and twisted than he signed up. Hopefully, with the help of his new five friends, he can find a way to bring peace to the town once and for all.

Pairings: Logan/Patton (Logicality), Roman/Virgil (Prinxiety), Remus/Janus (Dukeceit)

Word Count: 85,082

🌻🌸 Story Garden 🌼🌷

Nifty little masterlist of all of my writing compiled in one place.

🌱 Hazbin Hotel:

Summary: Six-year old witch, Imogen Woods, steals her late grandmother's spellbook and tries to summon a hellhound, hoping for a puppy to become her new familiar. Instead, she accidentally summons one of the most powerful beings in Hell, Alastor, the Radio Demon.They strike a deal where Alastor must celebrate Imogen's birthday on earth with her every year until she is eighteen. In return, he gets her soul ... terms and conditions permitting, of course. Unfortunately, deals are difficult to maintain when Alastor begins to feel like a father to the very witch who summoned him.

Summary: Alastor walks into a Starbucks and discovers something new about himself. The denizens of hell soon join him. Chaos ensues.

🌱 Sander Sides:

Summary: After Thomas has a panic attack followed by a medical emergency, Virgil disappears. It's up to the other Sides to find him. They just didn't think it would involve visiting a certain snake in his garden.

Summary: Logan Frost might appear to be your average marine biologist, but he's also closeted and a werewolf—one that's tethered to his inescapable pack. His father, the pack Alpha, incessantly reminds Logan that he is nothing like his stereotypical pack members. Logan doesn't know how to react when his soulmate starts courting him by drawing beautiful pictures on his arms. Terrified of his father's reaction, Logan tries to ignore him, but Roman, a determined and flirty merman, refuses to be ignored.

Summary: Virgil isn't good at romance. He isn't good at being vulnerable and opening his heart up to someone else.

That doesn't mean he can't try.

Summary: Roman wants to have sex to a Disney playlist for his birthday.

Summary: Virgil almost forgets how hot Roman's passion burns. The garden is full of ruby red roses, each one fully opened and perfect. Their petals are tender and soft, glowing from within, even during the daytime. He can feel the heat rippling off of them. Get too close, and Virgil would scorch his hands, and that would be so embarrassing.

"What happened to you?" people would ask. "How did you burn yourself?"

Oh, on Roman's roses.

Humiliating.

🌱 Pokémon Universe Series:

To Extend Our Reach To the Stars Above! | Romantic Prinxiety | Rated T for canon typical violence, language and sensuality | Read on AO3 |

Summary: Becoming the Pokémon League Champion seems simple to Roman Prince: defeat Virgil Storm, the Ghost Pokémon Gym Leader, and be on his way. Easy, right? Except Virgil proves to be a more difficult opponent than planned. He’s also spooky. And infuriating. And definitely not hot!

But when Team Rocket is thrown into the mix, how will Virgil and Roman manage to put aside their differences and save the day?

Patton's Heart, In the Clouds | Romantic Logicality | Established Relationship, Cuddles, Snuggles & Smooches, Action/Adventure, Fluff, Fluff, Fluff | Rated T for canon typical violence, language and sensuality | Read on AO3 |

Summary: Pokémon Professor Logan leaves on an important business trip, not realizing he's forgotten his briefcase at home. His husband, Nurse Patton, flies across the region with the help of his trusted Pokémon partner, an Altaria named Sir Fluff.

It's too bad that Patton hadn't accounted for the angry Gyarados he'd encounter on the way, or the biting cold awaiting him in Snowspell. Had he known, he might not have worn his skirt, of all things.

(Or: Logan pampers Patton after a long, perilous journey. Cuddles and kisses ensue.)

Logan's Heart, In Auroras | Romantic Logicality | Meet Cute, Falling In Love, Warm Fuzzy Feelings, Love Confessions, some descriptions of Pokémon injuries but nothing too graphic, you can sort of think of this as a veterinarian au but with Pokémon | Rated T for language and sensuality | Read on AO3 |

Summary:

"I'm just here to let you know that the nurse you haven't been able to shut up about for two weeks is here."

Logan swiveled in his computer chair. "What?"

"I said the nurse you're in love with is here."

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm not in love."

Remy slid his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and gave him the look. "Dude. You haven't stopped talking about his sweet pea scented hands all week."

Logan sputtered.

"That doesn't mean anything. He has soft hands. Sweet peas have a very distinctive scent. Anyone would have noticed!"

"Oh my god," Remy said, delighted. "You really are in love."

🌱 Snippets:

Janus Meets His Match | Rated G | Read on Tumblr |

Summary: Crime Lord Janus takes in a stray kitten. Part of my larger project, tentatively titled Soulless. Takes place within the same universe as Hooked On A Werewolf.

Janus crushes on Logan from afar. He finally gathers the courage to ask him out on a date with some encouragement from his best friend, Remus.

Thanks for stopping by! ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭.*･｡ﾟ

Name's Ace, He/They. I used to have a blog by the same name but I deleted it a few years ago. Regretting that now. Mostly I miss all my friends I got in this fandom RIP.

I take fic requests, no guarantee how quickly I'll get through them though, so fair warning.

Fics below cut (some have been updated with Janus's name, some have not):

Acquired Taste- Rated T. Logan is feeling a bit rejected and dejected, but he finds company in a similarly discouraged side. (Canon-verse)[Can be read as Intrulogical]

You Haunt Me And I Like It (Unfinished)- Rated M. Virgil has had a lot of roommates. The only thing, is they never really knew he was there. That's what happens when you've been stuck in the same apartment as a non corporeal being for nearly one hundred years. Recently two more moved in and one of them is a little more fun to play with, being the biggest skeptic he's ever known, that is, until he's presented with indisputable proof. (Human AU, Ghost AU)[Analogical, Royality, Demus]

Hat- Rated T. "Why do you like that hat so much?" Roman has a question and he's going to get answers. (Canon-verse)

Conceal, Don't Feel- Rated T. Hey, so uh, what if the whole Orange situation got bad? Like… real bad? Logan is struggling. Can he still save everyone? CW vague suicide attempt? (Canon-verse)

Coping- Rated T. "I just want an intruloceit fic where they decide to break out the wine and drunkenly karaoke billie eilish songs together in the dark sides common room, is that so much to ask?" ~ l0rd-0f-the-lies (Canon-verse)[Intruloceit]

Lights Out- Rated T. The power goes out and Logan is afraid of the dark but also Remus to the rescue so it's fine. Contrived situation is contrived. (Canon-verse)[Intrulogical]

It Took Me By Surprise- Rated T. Sometimes people who are sick and hurting (Virgil) hurt others (Logan) on accident, but it being an accident doesn't erase the pain. (Canon-verse, song fic)

Dissociate- Rated T. Logan can't duck out. So he does the next 'best' thing. (Canon-verse)[Intrulogical]

Heather- Rated T. Janus likes Virgil, Virgil likes Roman. (Human AU, High School AU)[Anxceit, Prinxiety]

The Floor Is Lava- Rated G. Remus is chaotic and Logan helps him be chaotic in less destructive ways. (Canon-verse)[Intrulogical]

Philosophically Cute- Rated G. Logan and Janus go clothes shopping. (Human AU) [Loceit]

Pride and Problem Solving- Rated G. Roman uses a nickname that causes Logan to reflect which then leads to a heart to heart. (Canon-verse)[Logince]

Trouble- Rated T. Virgil felt like he was going insane. And why? All because one side in particular wouldn't stop flaunting around in his new look. (Canon-verse, Song fic)[Prinxiety]

Valentine's Day- Rated T. Patton was just about vibrating with excitement for Valentine's Day. They were doing a secret Santa type thing with a theme. The theme was loosely collage. He came up with it all by himself. He made sure everyone was invited so they could be more like a real famILY. (Canon-verse)

The Prince And His Fish (unfinished)- Rated T. Prince Roman is half mermaid and falls hopelessly head over heels for a full mermaid (Logan). Very few in the kingdom know, but this secret may end up saving it. (Human AU, Mermaid AU)[Logince, Moxiety, Sleepceit]

Good Things Fall Apart- Rated T. Virgil self-sabotages and breaks up with Roman. (Human AU, song fic) [Prinxiety]

Obligatory Beach Episode- Rated T. Requested by mermaidgirl928 on instagram: "Maybe do something of the sides at the beach?" (Human AU)

Reunion- Rated T. The gang gets together every year, but this year is the first Remus will be joining them after his time travelling the country. He runs into a problem very quickly, he's alone in a cabin with his high school crush that he's not so over. (Human AU)[Intruality, Loceit, Prinxiety]

1 and 3/2 Men- Rated T. Human Roman moves into his own apartment and ends up meeting his… smaller roommates. Read the tags for warnings! (Human AU, Borrower AU)[Prinxiety, Logicality]

What is Love? (unfinished, dicontinued)- Rated T. Crack fic. (Canon-verse)[Logicality, Prinxiety]

8 Letters- Rated T. An song fic feat Remus and Roman being brothers who care about each other but happened to fall for the same person (Patton). (Human AU, Song fic)[Intruality]

Bonfire- Rated T. A small town high school tradition turns into yet another wild night. (Human AU, High School AU)[Logicality, Demus]

The Monster of Mental Illness- Rated M for suicidal thoughts. Virgil has a tough day but his friends help him out. (Human AU, College AU)

Monsters- Rated T. It was supposed to just be a normal night. A normal party on a normal night. Of course it was Halloween, but still fairly normal. So what changed on a night that should have been as normal as the rest? Well, Roman had pissed off a warlock, go figure. How’d he do that? He wouldn’t say, but knowing him it could have been a wide range of things. That was in the past anyway. Right now they had a serious problem. Said warlock had done them up Kalabar's Revenge style via potion. (Human AU, Magic AU) [Royality]

Trouble Makers (Series)- Rated G. Logan and Remus adopted a little cutie named Virgil. Patton and Dee adopted a little cutie named Roman. Good luck to them. (Human AU) [Intrulogical, Moceit]

Someone You Loved- Rated T. Virgil lashed out and he's not sure if anyone is coming back for him this time. (Canon-verse, song fic)

Happier- Rated T. The 'light' sides don't approve of Remus's and Logan's relationship, and Remus feels guilty. (Canon-verse, song fic) [Intrulogical]

OOC- Rated T. Logan asks Roman to take him to the Imagination for... reasons. (Canon-verse)[Logince]

An Invitation- Rated T. Patton seeks to make up for his mistakes with Deceit and Remus. (Canon-verse)

Liar, Liar, Tears of Fire- Rated M for Remus. Logan has heard it all one too many times and has had enough. That's it, he's moving to be with the people who consistently care about and respect him. (Canon-verse) [Loceit]

Villains- Rated M for violence and gore. Janus and Remus found each other in their rejection by and of society. They now use their powers to get even with corrupt officials, and they have definitely gone too far. (Supervillain AU) [Demus]

Dreams (series)- Rated T. Dee has a traumatic past, but is looking forward to the future. His match on Generic Dating App (Patton) is just the start. (Human AU)

Accidental Slumber Party- Rated G. Prompt based: “In the end no one took the couch.” by creativepromptsforwriting. Platonic with some mild flirting. (Human AU)

Janus

More on Helpless Draft fragment Short one-shot HelplessAU!Roman

May I present to you Janus’ aesthetic for the Helpless AU.

Some facts about everyone’s favourite snake:

He framed a bunch of kids who bullied Virgil for arson back when they were children.

Yes, he takes his older brother duty very seriously.

Virgil protection squad TM.

He carries an inhaler at all times in case Virgil has an attack and has misplaced his or something.

Speaks fluent Chinese.

Was studing law until a few months prior to them moving, when he decided to take a gap year for reasons I will not disclose yet.

Has heterochromia.

His contacts reach multiple countries. CIA who?

Virgil and him are half-brothers, they have the same mom. Janus’ dad died when he was very young. Virgil’s dad is basically his dad too, not to say he doesn’t remember his biological dad, he does, but he loves his adoptive one just as much. In spite of his dad’s death he still has contact with his grandparents on his father’s side, who love all of Janus’ new family because they’re great.

Virgil thinks he’s going to be the scariest lawyer ever because he is one sneaky b*tch. But he’ll also 100% would want him defending him if he had commited any crime. He’s crazy cunning.

Like, really, Virgil is the only one who actually has any idea of how shady his brother is, because everybody else just sees him as a delightful golden child, which, to be honest, he also is, but, one hell of a guy. You don’t want to be in his list of enemies.

Loves the musical Hamilton. Aaron Burr (,sir) is his not-so-secret crush and he has a hate-love relationship with the character of Hamilton.

If anyone wants to be added to a taglist on this AU please let me know!!!!!

More prinxiety! Im definitely not complaining I love that ship! :D

So,,, ghost au

One day Virgil moves into a new house and surprise surprise there is a ghost living in there! (Well i say living but that is not entirely accurate lmao) But unlike usual ghost stories, this ghost - Roman - actually loves the idea of having a roommate! He gets so lonely being, but the last few times people lived in his house, he unintentionally scares them away

So, this time, Roman decides not to show himself to his new roommate, cos he doesnt want to scare him away. But there are things that Roman cant control - any room hes in gets cold plus lights flicker and technology gets messed up when he goes near them. But hes just so curious about all these things that his new roommate has that he cant help spending time with him

Eventually, Virgil figures out that Something Is Up, and he guesses that its a ghost. Hes just a little terrified, but he is also Very Curious, cos he loves ghosts and ghost stories, so he investigates the house - finds out that someone died there hundreds of years ago - and eventually he tries to contact Roman directly

Roman is cautious, but cant help hoping that maybe his new roommate wont run away from him, so he reveals himself. At first, Virgil is scared, but pretty quickly he gets curious about what its like being a ghost and he tries to hide it but hes also excited and oh no Roman has a crush on his new roommate

But surely a human could never fall in love with a ghost, so though they quickly become friends, Roman hides his feelings. But eventually,,, Virgil falls for him too, though he ALSO hides his feelings

Until eventually one day Roman cant hide it anymore so he reveals his crush to Virgil and they get together. Of course, they cant touch, which makes dating a little difficult, but they make it work!

And when Virgil eventually dies - years and years later - he joins Roman as a ghost in his house, and they can finally share their first kiss

Haunted Theatre AU (Prinxiety)

Roman gets the role and has to act in a new (well new for him, the actual theatre is pretty old) but there is a ghost there that loves to play MCR or Evenescence when the actors are practicing.

At first it’s creepy, then it’s just annoying as the show grows closer. One day Roman decides to investigate and finds a ghostly figure singing. It’s surprisingly enchanting.

Of course after being starstruck his annoyance shows and Roman confronts the ghost who turns out to be some snarky emo in a purple patched hoodie.

On the night of the show, everyone is preparing to improvise if the ghost starts to interfere but nothing happens. After that Roman finds the ghost waiting for him and offers a subtle thank you, disguised amongst nicknames.

Roman ends up taking more rolls for that theatre and his relationship with the ghost. Doing some digging he finds out more about Virgil.

So I'm writing a ghost!Darksides/paranoemal investigators!Lightsides fic. I have learnt my lesson and won't post it until it's finished but I want to put the au out here now. If anyone wants to add on they're welcome too.

Virgil's the oldest, he doesn't really remember being alive and was starting to lose his mind due to loneliness

Then shows up this dude in a cape and hat who decides to haunt his house with him. Deceit won't even tell him his name for the first hundred years.

Then in about 2010 Remus shows up and Virgil and Janus basically adopt him.

Then we have our team of ghost hunters

Roman is convinced ghosts are real and hunts for the sole putppous of funding his twin brother who died when they were 15

Patton, who's known Roman since high school and is making sure he doesn't get killed himself

And Logan, who is fascinated by both the science behind ghosts and societies perception of them.

The lightsides go and check out the darksides' house and shenanigans ensue.

[Incert ghost chasing, a possible misunderstanding, vaguely humorous stuff and sine crushes here]

This was originally going to be analogical and roceit but it might be prinxiety, intrulogical and moceit.

Janus and Patton have the brain cell most of the time, they bond over it

Remus and Virgil call Janus Mum at least once

Remus is more exited about Logans theories and tests than he is

Roman has too much fun with the fact Virgil can turn them both invisible

He also confuses him with modern pop culture

So Roman and Remus have a tearful reunion

More shenanigans happen and we have some love confessions

Who knows, maybe the house has been up for sale for a while at a surprisingly low price.

Who can see ghosts is rotg style, anyone who believes can.

While the ghosts can leave, they start to lose their form the further away they are from their chosen haunt.

New Fics for the New Year!

*cracks knuckles*

Alright folks! I did this last year but it was in the notes for one of my fics. This is a better format so here we go! This is pretty much a list of any fics I found that I really enjoyed, and that you might to! Find something you’ll like in 2021! Which hopefully won’t be a trashfire!

Authors are tagged with their tumblr or a link to their AO3 account if I couldn’t find one for them and links for the fics themselves are in the titles. PLEASE check the tags on each story for warnings and ships if you are interested in reading them, know your limits!

Disclaimer, none of these stories are mine.

Most of these are Harry Potter fics and I need to make the statement that JKR has decided to be a TERF and we don’t stan. We’ve taken the content from her and will not be returning it.

If your story is on this list and you would like it removed, or a link is incorrect, please tell me and I will not hesitate to fix these things. Same goes for if one of these creators have a tumblr, please let me know so I can tag properly and give credit where credit is due!

On with the show!

Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey by sobsicles

Oh my god this was a ride. Delves into what would have happened if Harry had killed Bellatrix after the battle at the Ministry in OOTP, its such a time.

A Shift in Perspective by @nobodyzhuman

Harry finds out Dumbledore has lied to him for a really long time and he’s on the wrong side of the war. After catching Harry Dumbledore turns him into a cat and sends him gift wrapped to the Dark Lord. Its so, so fucking good if you’re looking for a sympathetic dark side/death eaters story.

The Sun and The Moon by Silverlynings

Drarry soulmate AU that just hits different. Amazingly written and just a really good story? Hermione is the best person ever.

There Is COVID in Ba Sing Se by @koala-otter

Absolutely adorable modern Zukka AU where they move in together at the beginning of the pandemic. Quarantine AU is a thing now, fight me.

Ripple of Change Series by weirdsisters99

Sirius and Snape become unlikely friends and things spiral out of control. Now Snape's a mentor figure for a bunch of Hogwarts students who pretend they absolutely don’t know each other outside of his rooms and visits Sirius in prison. I’m not doing it justice so just go read it please.

Shoulder Pillow by Music_dreamer_003

Muggle Drarry AU where Draco falls asleep on Harry on a plane. Adorable to the max and just a fluff masterpiece.

Son of Thanos Universe by @essayofthoughts and Kiterou

Harry is kidnapped from Earth by aliens and is raised by Thanos. He eventually escapes and chills with Yondu, Peter, and the Ravengers, and after awhile makes his way back to Earth. Earth hasn’t forgoten him. It was a time and I love it so, so much. The worldbuilding is phenomenal and also shines a light on what HP cannon could have been without their golden boy. Read it.

Wizards IN SPACE by @esamastation

The Room of Requirement can, in fact, turn into a space ship. Magic teenagers plus a spaceship is not something I thought I needed but I did and you do to. Yoden has done a continuation of the story here that is unfinished but also highly recommended, its amazing.

Be Kind by juhele

I’m not usually one for Cedric/Harry but this. This is a masterpiece. Harry is pretty much a panicking Bisexual and Cedric is the number one. Like he’s just amazing. Boyfriend goals.

Excuse Me, Do You Fucking Mind? by Nine_3quarters

Another modern Drarry AU but they have superpowers in this one. Draco is in drag. It’s just...everything you could ever want out of this AU and its wonderful

Family is a Purple Bus by @rowanmoonlight

Yet another one I didn’t think I needed but absolutely did. After leaving the Dursleys Harry gets a job on the Knight Bus and the family he deserves in its employees. Just...oh it’s wonderful, so fucking wonderful.

How Like Home by @waitingondaisies

Its a god-tier story, like everything by this author but this one. This one. Harry falls through the veil after Sirius and ends up in another universe where his parents are alive and well and Voldemort never existed. No war, no death. Just redemption and a new chance for Harry.

Independent Study by SomewheresSword

So this is now one of my favorite authors, because of not only this but their founders AU and another fic which is right under this one. Its just so fucking good? This story in particular is a Harry got expelled before fifth year AU and its amazing. He lives with Sirius (as he should) and definitely does not have a crush on George. Its great.

Lily’s Boy by SomewheresSword

Deep sigh. Ok this one. This one. Wizengamot politics meets a taking-no-shit Harry and supportive heirs. Drarry just happened so that's been a plus and its just-look this author made me love Snape/Lupin and that, that my friends, is a feat.

(Note: This may or may not be up. The author was having trouble with copyright and it was taken down briefly. As of last time I heard it hadn’t been reposted however if you ever see it again, READ IT. This note will be deleted if I see it again on AO3.)

Misticheskiy Institut by GhostIsReading

Harry says fuck it and moves to Russia. That's literally what happens but it’s so fucking good. There's also a dash of creature inheritance but man I just love the worldbuilding of the Russian school and Magical World its just-gah its incredible.

Pieces Verse by @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors

Tulip just has a habit of making me cry and I love it. This is the same author who did LAOFT (which I also recommend if you haven’t read it) and has yet again wowed us with their excellence. Pieces is a Sanders Sides soulmate AU. Prinxiety and Logicality were one shots but Dukeceit has received its own chunk and its an angst fest but so. Fucking. Good.

The Way We Wind by @thesleepiesthufflepuff

*screams into pillow* LOOK IF YOU DIDN’T THINK HARRY OWNING A KNITTING SHOP COULD BE GOOD, IT IS AND YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT OK?!? Drarry is thrown in but god this is so wholesome?!? Even without it?!? I love it.

To The Dead by LadyoftheWoods

Look. Look. I’ve read a lot in my short, short life. Very few things have made me cry or come close to it when it comes to literature. This? This made me cry. Ghost Sanders Sides AU that's just...wonderful. Its so wholesome and beautiful and I expect any of you who read this and cried to tell me so we can cry about it together. Ok? Ok.

And that's the list for 2020! Obviously there are other fics that were amazing and this is all just my opinion but I hope you get a good story out of this post! Send me anything you think I’ll enjoy to!

Heres to 2021 being better!

The Fate of the Marked Six Chapter 16

imagine i just did a sike and after getting everyone together, i just killed everyone off /hard joking (i would never do that don't worry, happy ending is a happy ending). as always, reblogs and likes are appreciated! enjoy <3 ——————– Summary: Virgil moves into a new town and meets Roman, a ghost that he promises to help in finding the unfinished business needed to pass over. However, Roman's past seemed to be deeply muddled with trouble, an uncurable disease that has started to affect a classmate, and a certain tight-lipped valedictorian. Friendships are made and Virgil finds himself thrown into a situation far more complicated and twisted than he signed up. Hopefully, with the help of his new five friends, he can find a way to bring peace to the town once and for all.

Trigger Warning: None

Content Warning: Swearing

<Previous> <Next> ——————–

Chapter 16

Roman’s mind wasn’t the most fun to be in when he knew someone he loved was in danger. Currently, that someone was his brother. Logan's spell had hit Roman when he first went missing. Roman found every clue there was to be around Logan, but for some reason, it always led to nowhere. Then, out of nowhere, Patton had found Logan injured and tired. It was almost worrying had he not known Logan. If Logan looked like hell, it meant what he went through was more than what he knew hell to be.

The police had been in contact with the friends as soon as Logan was put into safety and treated for his wounds. However, Roman felt something was off.

“We won’t be able to see him until later tomorrow.” Virgil walked into the room, defeated as he sat on the couch next to Roman.

“Mhm.” Roman blinked, turning to look at the boy, “You’ve been using your power, haven’t you?”

Virgil raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

“You looked drained. I know that most mediums have the power to search for a specific ghost, but it could be deadly.”

“Yeah.” Virgil sighed, “I just…needed to make sure Logan wasn’t one. I thought I could get out of it before I drained all the magic out of me.”

“What happened?”

“I had Janus on standby. I got really close.” Virgil shuddered, “But…at least Logan’s okay. He’s safe and sound.”

“Hm.” Roman decided to leave his worries in his mind. “You should sleep.”

“I guess I deserve it.” Virgil sighed, yawning.

Roman chuckled, “You do.”

“What about you? Will you be okay?”

Roman nodded, “Ghosts don’t need sleep, remember?”

“Still…” Virgil murmured, “My anxiety’s still at an all time high. I don’t think I would be able to sleep.”

Roman thought about how to help Virgil.

“What if…I tell you a story that I remember?’

“You remember your past?’

“...just flashes.” Roman murmured, “Come on, Hot Topic, let’s get you to bed.”

“Aw, you think I’m hot.” Virgil grinned at him.

Virgil caught the pillow that Roman threw at him before it could hit his face, “Alright, fine, I’ll try my best to sleep.”

Once he was tucked into bed, Roman sat at the edge of the bed. “You know, I’ve done this plenty of times, but this one feels different.”

“Maybe because you don’t think of me as your brother? Hopefully.” Virgil snorted.

“Yeah, I don’t.” Roman snorted before looking at him, “You’re kinda like my soulmate.”

“Really?”

“I don’t know. It might just be the attachment to the first medium I’ve met, but something’s different about you.”

“I really like you too, Ro.” Virgil replied.

Roman felt his heart skip a beat, but tried to ignore it. It was him talking about them as friends. About them as platonic soulmates. They were nothing more. Besides, there would be no other way for them to even be in a romantic relationship.

Taking the idea out of his head, Roman just smiled back at him, “Right…about that story. What do you want to hear?”

“Anything about you. I feel like it’s always about my life and never about yours.”

“I’ll tell you about the time that I was face to face with a bear.”

Roman wasn’t even halfway through his story when he heard Virgil stop giggling. He looked over to see him sleeping peacefully and Roman smiled, standing up. Brushing the hair out of his face, Roman walked out of the room, deciding to pay a visit to another one of the other 3 friends. Even if they didn’t see him, they always managed to know when he was in the room.

-+=~=+-

“Remus, where’s Roman?” Janus rushed into the room where Roman was chilling with Remus. The two were currently playing catch with a plastic basketball as Remus had remembered he could interact with any object, but not any person.

“What? Why?” Remus asked as he threw the ball to Roman.

“Oh, okay.” Janus sighed in relief, “I’m assuming that’s him?”

Roman shook the ball in a nodding manner before throwing it back to Remus. Remus caught it, “Still didn’t answer my question.”

“Virgil freaked out when he couldn’t find him.” Janus sighed, catching the ball before Roman could, “Come on, you two.”

“What?” The two boys raised an eyebrow.

“Oh…you don’t know. They’re still treating Logan, but he requested to see us, so we can go see him now.”

As they walked into the hospital, the three met up with Virgil and Patton.

“How is he?” Janus asked.

“We're waiting for you guys to see him.” Patton gave a small smile. He looked better, clearly having also gotten sleep, but still horrible from not taking care of himself.

“You look less tired than before.”

“Ah, yeah.” Patton muttered, “I guess Logan being found put my worries to ease. Sort of.”

“Sort of?”

Patton ignored the question as they all walked in the room to see Logan reading. Upon hearing the door open though, Logan jumped, throwing the book at the group. Patton dodged it coming right towards his face, catching the book.

“Woah, Logan.” Janus stared, “Are you okay, Patton?”

“Sorry. Impulse.” Logan murmured as the group traveled to where he was, Patton giving Logan back his book.

“Where’d you learn to catch like that?” Remus asked.

“Dodgeball practice. Ass at throwing, so I learned to dodge and catch. Stopped me from being beat up.”

“Nerd.” Janus snorted at him.

“What happened?” Virgil asked, “I mean…you weren’t like this before.”

Roman could tell Virgil was trying to put it delicately because it was true. They had never seen Logan be that scared. He was always calm and collected, robotic even. Even when he was scared.

“I ran into the wrong type of people. Caleb got some ghosts, I think, to possess some humans, and I was stuck in his dungeon. I learned pretty fast how to defend myself against ghosts and humans that ghosts have possessed.” Logan murmured, looking down. “I was scared.”

From the looks of their friends’ faces, it was clear this was one of the few times that Logan had even shown emotion, and it must’ve been the first that he had shown this much.

However, to Roman, he had heard enough. Letting Virgil know that he was going out for a breath of fresh air, he walked out to the balcony, where he looked out. Whoever was in there, he knew, wasn’t his brother.

He hadn’t even noticed when the door had slid open and someone had come out.

Virgil stepped back from the window to lean against the railing where Roman was. Roman didn’t say anything, keeping his eyes fixed on the horizon.

“You don’t think that’s him, do you?” Virgil asked, breaking the silence.

Roman looked over, suddenly surprised by how far Virgil was leaning, “You shouldn’t do that. I can’t teleport living beings, you know?

“You told me before you could.” Virgil remarked before deciding to take pity on him and safely lean instead of almost falling off the railing.

Roman tried to grab onto Virgil’s arm, only to phase through it, “Yeah well…that relies on physical contact.”

“Alright, Ro, fess up. What are you worried about? Logan’s home safe and sound. What makes you so reluctant to accept that you were worried and now you’re relieved?”

“I just…the vibes feel off.”

Virgil snorted, raising an eyebrow, “The vibes feel off? Of course they do. Logan probably just went through hell. It makes sense he’s not acting like himself. He looks like he just went through hell and back. So maybe he’s a little more scared than usual.”

“No, no, it’s not that.” Roman murmured, staring at Logan, “He just….feels off. I don’t know what it is. Call it brotherly instinct.”

“Hey, maybe you should think about the fact that the brotherly instinct is probably just your anxiety taking over. Besides, you haven’t been around him for almost 4 years. How do you know that it’s instinct?”

“Just take it as a gut feeling.” Roman murmured, turning to stare at Virgil. “Ask Patton. Please.”

Virgil shrugged, calling both Patton and Remus over. Coming over in confusion with Janus following soon after, Virgil held his hands out. Immediately, the two boys grabbed onto his hands, with Janus holding on to Remus’s. Roman could feel the magic rushing through everyone and then suddenly, Virgil motioned to Patton. “Ask him yourself.”

“What’s this about?” Patton asked, “Please don’t say it’s about how worried you are for my health. I don’t care. At this moment-”

“Not what I was going to say.” Roman interrupted Patton, “Don’t you think Logan’s…for lack of a better phrase…vibes are off?”

“Well…kinda.” Patton shrugged, “I noticed it as I was helping him to the hospital, but I blamed it on whatever he went through.”

“Kinda?”

“His magic’s too powerful.”

“You can feel auras?” Remus raised an eyebrow.

“Well…I can tell when someone has magic. It kinda envelops me and that’s how I know how powerful someone is.”

“Yeah. I can teach you how to do it one day, Remus.” Virgil offered. “But that’s not what’s important right now. Continue, Patton.”

“When Logan’s magic envelops around me, it feels like a warm blanket around me. I feel safe around his magic. When I helped him to here, his magic felt cold. It feels almost too powerful because I feel like it’s going to start sucking my magic.”

“I thought Patton didn’t have a power.” Janus pointed out.

“Not that we know of.” Virgil corrected him, “But everyone has magic in their system, power or no powers. It’s what keeps us alive. It shouldn’t feel like it would start to suck out the magic that keeps us alive.”

“So that’s bad?”

“Either that’s not Logan, or Logan has been through something that changed his magic, which I wouldn’t put it past if he came out looking like that. I mean, the police confirmed the blood on the grass spot in the woods we found the other day was his. We just need to get him to tell us the full story.”

Roman sighed, almost feeling more worried now that he knew what Patton thought.

Virgil thanked the two boys before separating to talk to Roman again, “You okay? That help you?”

“I don’t know.” Roman groaned, “I just feel like something’s wrong with me that I can’t figure any of this out. I feel so horrible…”

Roman trailed off as he looked down from the second story where they were in to see someone walking in covered in discrete clothing, rushing past people while phasing through them. They looked almost in a rush like they were looking for someone.

“What?” Virgil raised an eyebrow.

“What are the chances that someone is covered from head to toe in winter clothing when it’s 95 degrees outside…and a ghost?” Roman asked.

“Zero to none.”

“Then we need to see who the person that walked in was.” Roman replied, “Let’s meet in the middle. I’ll go from the bottom.”

Virgil nodded and Roman blinked to teleport to the bottom of the building, only to find the ghost.

“Hey!” He yelled, and the ghost turned towards Roman slowly. Roman got a closer look, surprised to see someone that looked like the carbon copy of a female version of his father. Then, the ghost started to run up the stairs, Roman soon following behind him.

“Don’t move.” Virgil showed up on the other side, pointing something at the ghost. Roman didn’t know what it was, but he said the command with such force that even Roman’s heart dropped and he held his hands up in the air, along with the ghost.

“What is that?” Roman asked as he jumped out of his thoughts. Virgil wouldn’t hurt anyone, especially not him.

“Something.” Virgil breathed, “Having experiences with ghosts my entire life, I’ve come across a lot of good and bad. And I needed to find a way to stop the bad ghosts. This is one of the ways. Come here, Roman.”

Roman teleported to him, careful not to be anywhere near whatever he was holding.

“Tell me who you are and what you’re doing here.”

“Your brother sent me.” The woman looked at Roman. “At least, I’m assuming he’s your brother.”

“My brother’s in the room. What do you mean he sent you?”

“My name is Jasmine Sanders. You look more like my family. You are…?”

Roman crossed his arms, “Roman Sanders.”

“Roman. What a beautiful name.”

“Cut straight to the point.” Virgil waved around his gadget.

“Right. When your brother was captured, a couple of Caleb’s workers and I had decided to try and help him escape. However, I was caught in the process, and your brother tried to be the hero. He told Caleb that he’d go willingly with anything Caleb said as long as Caleb let me and the other workers off the hook. Whoever is in there is a fake.”

“Impossible. They’d have to be a human possessed.”

Jasmine just sighed, taking out a book. She muttered something and held it out. “A peace offering.”

“What is it?” Virgil raised an eyebrow.

“A spell book.” Jasmine just kicked it over, “I gave it to Logan, but he gave it back to me. Said I needed to protect you.”

“So why wouldn’t you keep it then? You know how to use it.” Virgil, upon inspecting it, picked up the book.

“I can feel the auras of your magic. Logan’s magic was incredibly strong, but yours is even stronger. You guys will get the hang of it immediately. Besides, I can’t stay here very long. Just enough to explain what’s going on to you two.”

“Then talk.”

“Uh, Vir, maybe we should do it less out in the open. You might look crazy right now.” Roman looked nervous as he saw people starting to rush in.

“Fine. Come on, I know a quiet place.”

With that, the two ghosts followed him, careful not to touch whatever Virgil had in hand. Jasmine fell behind and Roman caught up to Virgil.

“So, what is the gadget in hand?”

Virgil opened his hand to show the crystal that he always carried with him, “It’s not going to hurt her if Jasmine’s not lying.”

Roman waved his hand over the crystal, feeling magic flow through him, “Woah, that’s different from the one I have.”

“Well, yeah. It’s Logan’s crystals, so it’s infused with his magic already even without his knowledge. It has Patton’s protection, and I’ve also put extra protection on mine.” Virgil smiled, “It’s triple the magic a crystal usually has.”

“Huh, so it could be used for weaker people to use powers?”

“Well, if they have powers, yes, but most likely, it’s used to help people without powers conjure spells, or strengthen the ones of a magic user.”

“So I could theoretically use that book?” Roman raised an eyebrow, pointing to the spell book in Virgil’s hand.

“Not out in the open.” Virgil pulled them into a quiet room.

“What is this place?”

Virgil was quiet before he looked out to make sure that Jasmine had followed them. Once everyone was in the room, Virgil closed the door, locking it. “I didn’t tell you, but I started interning at this hospital. Every intern gets their own room. This is mine.”

“Oh, that’s so cool.” Roman grinned. “So…Jasmine, please do start speaking.”

“I can’t say too much. All I can say is to not let any ghost touch you, just in case it’s Caleb.” Jasmine rolled down her sleeve to show a purple stamp, “I made that mistake, and now my soul is bound to him forever.”

“So why tell me this in the first place?”

“It’s time for a change. Everyone’s tired of existing here. They want to move on to the afterlife. They want to stop suffering under the hands of Caleb.” Jasmine replied, “And for once, I’d like to see my sister again.”

Roman felt his heart break. He knew how that felt.

“Caleb’s obsessed with this prophecy. Logan already knows it, but it’s time you heard it too. Generation after generation, seek the red carnation. Throughout all the Sanders, look for the one that is a magic commander. If what you seek for is power, they will bring you to the pink hydrangea flower. Lives lost and many crossed, a man willing to find the special one at any cost. Succeed if every generation is decimated, or rue the day he was betrayed by the ones he dictated.” Jasmine repeated before waving her hand and it appeared on Roman’s arm, “It’ll go away once the prophecy is fulfilled.”

“Do you know what it means?”

“Not fully. We all thought you’d be the end and he would succeed, but none of us thought that he would find what he wanted.”

“And who is what he wants?”

“The fake will lead you to his lair. The fake will tell you everything you need to know.” The stamp on her arm was now glowing purple.

“What?”

“Just make sure that whatever you do, the fake does not make the chosen one tear the world apart.” Jasmine replied as the stamp was searing into her skin, “I’m sorry I can’t stay longer. I have to go before Caleb finds me here. Just trust that everything will be alright and things will be alright.”

With that, Jasmine got up and phased through the wall, clearly going to rush back to Caleb’s lair.

“We should go back.” Roman cleared his throat as he picked up the spell book Jasmine left. “There’s a lot we need to tell the group.”

“Okay…” Virgil was quieter than he first started off as.

The two walked back to find Janus and Remus talking to Logan. Logan was trying his best to show that he enjoyed their company and as Roman let his gaze fall on his brother, He watched Logan's eyes flicker for a second to purple. Only a second, but it was good enough to know that whoever was in front of them was a fake.

The fake smiled at Virgil and fake Logan's gaze landed on Roman. The fake smiled at him.

“Logan…? What are you looking at?” Patton asked, squeezing his hand. Roman narrowed his eyes at the boy, even though Patton couldn’t see him.

The fake blinked and forced his gaze away from Roman, “Sorry, for a second, I thought I saw my brother. I guess it must be an effect left from being near Caleb.”

“I’m sorry we weren’t there.”

“No, I’m sorry. I tried to be the hero. Tried to keep you guys from getting hurt. If I could just figure out the mystery myself, I could keep everyone safe. I could maybe…bring back Roman. Maybe, no one would have to miss anyone, and I could heal Remus. And if I got hurt in the process, at least I could die knowing I helped make the wrong things right.”

Roman felt his heart pang. Even though he knew it was a fake, the things fake Logan said he hoped were true, so that when he did find him, he could tell his how wrong he was and how stupid he was to think they would ever not miss him. He had been down that path too. He had seen his brother in the clutches of Caleb’s hands as his friends were in danger, and he had seen the path he chose of his brother over his friends.

“...when I saved my brother, I hadn’t thought about how he would feel with survivor’s guilt. He knows he should’ve been the one dead, but instead, he’s the only one that persisted.” Roman murmured. “I wish…he just knew that I would’ve done it a million times over if it meant he was safe.”

Virgil stayed quiet, looking at the fake.

Fake Logan sighed, grabbing a notebook and pen nearby, “Caleb’s going to strike soon. I could see it. I got some information while I was there. There’s a prophecy. I’ve broken it down a bit.”

Logan scribbled the prophecy down, “Generation after generation, seek the red carnation. Throughout all the Sanders, look for the one that is a magic commander. The red carnation is the same as the magic commander. It has to be someone with powers, and it’s the end of the battle. It’s not a coincidence that Caleb's looking through the entire Sanders bloodline. He’s waiting for the one to lead him to the thing he wants. And from the brief conversation we managed to have, I found out that I’m the red carnation. Always have been, always will be. Red carnations represent passion, which I guess I used to have before...before my brother's death. If what you seek for is power, they will bring you to the pink hydrangea flower. I don’t know what he wants, but I do know one thing. The pink hydrangea flower is Patton. Patton has something he wants, and it makes sense since the pink hydrangea flower represents heartfelt emotion and that lines up with Patton's ideology. Lives lost and many crossed, a man willing to find the special one at any cost. That’s just Caleb. Succeed if every generation is decimated, or rue the day he was betrayed by the ones he dictated. I’m guessing he’ll only gain what he wants from Patton once I’m dead, and if I manage to survive, we’ll get some help.”

“What do I have that he wants?” Patton replied horrifically, “I don’t even have a power.”

“You do.” Roman finally spoke up, Virgil repeating his every word to Patton. “I’ve kept my mouth shut about this because I didn’t know what kind of chaos it would bring if you knew. It doesn’t make sense that you can’t cast any magic when you have one of the most powerful auras in magic. You wouldn’t be able to cast magic spells if you didn’t have any active magic.”

“...I do?” Patton raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”

Fake Logan turned towards Roman. While Patton was only looking at Virgil, Fake Logan was staring into Roman’s soul.

“It’s a power that’s so powerful that the world puts it on inactive mode. It would only take a lot of passion and feeling for you to unlock it and the first time you do, it will be disastrous unless you have someone else powerful enough to stop it.”

“Who would be powerful enough to stop it?”

“From what I’m guessing? Caleb.” Roman replied, “Especially if he got a hold of my soul, or Logan’s.”

“That’s not good then. We need to keep you two safe.” Patton replied worryingly.

“No. That’s not what we need.” Janus shook his head, “That’s too passive. We’ve been waiting too long. Now, it’s our time to strike. We need to find a way to have you control your power.”

Fake Logan was quiet through all of it.

“Okay…”

“Whatever we do, we need to sleep it off.” Remus stood up, “We’ll be heading off now. You’ll be okay, Logan?”

“I’ll be fine now. Thanks for coming to see me.”

The group walked out in silence. It was only when Roman was sure no one else would overhear that he motioned for Virgil to take everyone’s hands. Patton grabbed onto Remus’s, who held onto Janus, who in turn held onto Virgil’s. Once everyone adjusted to seeing Roman, Janus spoke up.

“That isn’t Logan in there.”

“You know?” Roman asked, surprised, “I was just about to tell you that.”

“Logan’s fate is regret. It’s a really rare fate. The only person I’ve seen it on recently is him. He regrets letting you die. He regrets not doing anything. He regrets being there for his parents. He regrets not holding onto his emotions. He regrets everything he’s ever done. That’s his fate, that’s how it’s always been. The boy in there isn’t Logan because there’s two fates that float above his head. It's love. Someone is controlling a human.”

“Yeah. I was going to say that. I saw his eyes flash purple.” Patton replied, “Besides, his magic feels different. It’s not warm and no matter how long I try to convince myself that I’m going crazy, I have this gut feeling that Logan’s still out there, trapped somewhere.”

“It’s the magic.” Remus murmured, “Roman told us he casted a spell right after he went missing. It led us to the hoodie and the blood, but after that, it was a dead end, but we all knew he was still alive. It was just a gut feeling.”

“He wasn’t limping on his foot, almost like it was healed.” Virgil remarked before taking out a spell book, “And also a relative of Ro's…decided to give Roman this book.”

“It’s a spell book.” Patton murmured. “Try it out, Roman. Family artifacts are more powerful with family connections. I also think about bloodline connections being more powerful.”

Roman grabbed the book from Virgil’s free hand, flipping through it before he came across a cool one. “A honorable king is he, change his clothes into one of a bee!”

He pointed at Virgil, who started to panic and opened his mouth to scream and yell about why he chose to practice on him. However, before a single sound could come out, a ball of magic shot above Virgil and burst, the magic particles coming down slowly and changing Virgil’s outfit.

“I hate it and I hate you,” Virgil huffed as he looked at his new outfit. “So it does work?”

“Yeah, we’d need to practice our powers.” Roman replied, “But some of these are pretty interesting.”

“Like what?” Virgil asked as everyone made a closed circle around him to look at the book.

“That one.” Patton stopped the book flipping and Roman read the description out loud.

“Hades and Persephone…it’s a spell that will allow the caster to shift from the living to the ghost world for a certain time frame. Someone wrote in it, and added the note that a ghost will shift into the living world for that time frame. The time frame determines the caster’s power. The more magic the caster has or the more powerful the magic is, the longer it can hold.”

“That would be good for you, Roman.” Patton replied, “When I can see you, I can feel your aura is strong, even as a ghost. People usually lose 30% of their magic when they die and become ghosts, but yours feels just as strong as Logan’s.”

“We’ve got to try out all of this and strengthen everything we have.” Janus replied, “Is there anything else your relative might’ve given you?”

Roman flipped through the rest of the book before a stack of folded papers fell out of the last part of the book. Patton knelt down to grab it, opening it with the help of Virgil’s hands before Roman stepped to widen the circle up so he can look at the papers as well.

“It’s details about everything about Caleb.” Virgil murmured.

“That might just save us.” Roman gaped, “When I went there the first time, I had no idea what I was going into. Even now, I’m blanking on those memories. We could all get out alive, and rescue Logan. We can change the prophecy, so he doesn’t succeed.”

“What would that entail?”

“Studying these notes behind Fake Logan’s back, and…something that might be incredibly dangerous.” Roman stared at Patton.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“It means unlocking your power, Patton, and maybe even causing the end of the world.”

“Fuck…” Patton let out, and it caused the tension to release from everyone as they all laughed. That was something Patton wasn't used to saying, but it was right in that moment.

“How do we do that?” Patton seemed determined.

“You’re willing to do it?” Janus was surprised.

“If it means saving Logan, I’d do anything.”

“Alright, lover boy, hold your horses.” Remus replied, “It seems more complicated than that."

“It means either we let Caleb play with your mind until you slowly go insane and unlock your power…or we try to do that. The only issue is that we don’t know how to stop you from ending the world.” Roman replied, throwing the spell book at Patton. Patton caught it before it could hit his face. Barely. “We don’t even know what your power is. All we know is that it’s powerful. Your magical aura is 10x the aura of Logan’s, who’s probably the next most powerful person. Even if we were to all put our powers together, there’s no way we could stop you from not using your powers. In a sense of desperation, people with magic will do whatever it takes. In your case, your sense of desperation will be unlocking the magic.”

A silence fell between all of them, the mood becoming somber.

“Let’s rest on this.” Virgil spoke up, “Come on, Ro. Let’s go home.”

“Okay…” was all Roman could say. He was exhausted too. He just wanted everyone to be happy again. He wanted things to be okay, but most of all, he wanted Caleb to get the fuck out of his world.

With that, the group separated back to their homes. Roman was expecting Virgil to go home. It was almost sunset and time for dinner. Instead though, he stopped at the museum.

“What are we doing here, Vir?”

“We both need a little pick-me-up. Your brother told me he always goes here when he’s feeling upset. Says it calms him down. Now get out. We’re going.”

Roman got out of the car with Virgil, and the two walked into the museum. Making their way to Roman’s exhibit, Virgil sat down on one of the chairs facing Roman’s last work.

“Your brother brought me here one day. While you were out trying to find anything relating to Caleb, we were always at school. Logan took that time to get to know us by making us stay late to find anything from our end on Caleb. I was so stressed over all of this plus the recent test that came up that one day, Logan just stopped me in the middle of helping his research and told everyone to go home. He dragged me into his car and drove me here. Told me everything there was to know about you. About all the stories behind your paintings and about every film in the museum. I swear, I had never seen him so happy than in that moment.” Virgil replied, “Then, he told me that this was your proudest work. You never told him the reason, but he could guess. He had been receiving his powers in flashes, and he saw the scenery. He saw you and another boy that he hadn’t ever met that looked your age.”

“...my soulmate. I saw him in a dream. No recognizable traits, but I knew he had brown hair and brown eyes. I didn’t see his smile, but for some reason, I knew it was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. There was so much purple too."

Virgil smiled and Roman’s heart dropped. There it was. There was that smile that he had been missing all his life. The smile he had been searching for.

“Then…for some reason, Logan told me that he knew the boy. At the time, he didn’t. Then, he met me and it all made sense once he found out I was a medium. I’m your soulmate, aren’t I?” Virgil asked, his eyes landing on Roman. Roman stared into his eyes, not wanting to look away. They were inches away from each other, but it was clear Virgil didn’t mind their proximity.

He didn’t know what to say, so he did the only thing he knew how to do. Speak his feelings. “Hades and Persephone, set my spirit free, let the two lovers of life and death meet once again, and with my fate written, lift the pen.”

Virgil’s breath hitched as Roman went to cup Virgil’s face, the two of them making contact for the first time. He could feel his breath on him and he knew he could feel the same.

The two sat there in silence, staring at each other. Then Roman broke it, “I’d really like to kiss you, Virgil.”

“Then do it, coward.” Virgil smirked. Roman quickly wiped his smirk away as he used his other hand to pull his waist closer to him and he brushed their lips against each other softly before he finally pressed them together.

As they separated, Virgil flushed, leaning his head against his chest. Roman chuckled as he held the boy close to him. After spending so long with him, it felt nice to finally hold his and tell him all that he wanted to say. It didn’t matter that he knew it would only be a few hours before he would miss his touch again. In that moment as he was holding him, he felt everything would be okay and that maybe they would get that moment one day where he was staring at Virgil in that grass field.

“God, how are we going to explain this to people?” Virgil flushed, “I can’t believe out of all the things I had to go ahead and do was fall in love with a ghost.”

Roman and Virgil stayed in the exhibit until Roman decided to activate the spell again to see if it would stop the spell. It did. The two walked out with a grin on their face.

Once the two had gotten ready for bed, Roman told Virgil that he wanted to stargaze. Virgil nodded, joining him a moment after, looking up from his driveway. In that moment, Roman willed himself to be in the living world again, just for a moment to allow Virgil to lean his head against his chest. He enjoyed the feeling of having the boy in his arms.

“Hey, Vir, can I confess something to you?”

“Sure.”

“That was my first kiss.”

“Me too.”

“I wish I got to spend time living longer. Maybe I’d be in college. Maybe I’d already be engaged to someone. Maybe…just maybe, I’d be happy. Maybe my brother would be happier than he has been. Maybe if I was alive, he wouldn’t have felt the need to separate and not make friends.”

“If you had to make the choice again, would you? Or would you let him die and live your life?”

“I’d make the same choice.”

“Hm. You’re a good brother.” Virgil smiled. “And a good person.”

“You’re a good person too. I wouldn’t have gotten here without your help. I would’ve probably been under Caleb’s control by now had you not taken me on that first day.”

“I didn’t take you in! You annoyingly intruded in!” Virgil scoffed, “But I’m glad I met you and got to this moment too. Thanks for giving me every reason to reach out to you.”

The two didn’t speak for the rest of the night, Roman only moving to pick Virgil up and carry his back to bed when he fell asleep. Once he was asleep, he realized how much he missed being alive. As he willed himself back to his ghost self, he decided now would be a good time to rest. He needed it for the next few days. ——————– prinxiety kiss (tbh this one is my favorite out of the three couples)

Glass-says: Chapter 16

Chapter 1, Chapter 15

Ao3 link

Summary: Princey and Anxiety finally meet in person to their knowledge and everything's going well… until it's not.

Warnings: Brief mention if Disownment.

Chapter 16

Roman smiled down at Virgil, still holding him. "I thought you said you weren't much of a crier." He teased.

Virgil pulled away to scoff lightly at his friend. "Says the one with wet cheeks."

"Hey, yours are equally as wet, Crying Purple People Heater." Roman returned.

"People Heater, huh?" Virgil brushed the few tears away from his face.

Roman grimaced. "Yeah… not one of my greater nicknames, but you're cuddlier than I thought you'd be."

"So… we actually going to do any dancing or what, Princey?"

"Right, yeah." Roman nodded.

They both placed their right hands against the others back, chuckling awkwardly as they both pulled away.

"Do you-" They both started before Roman cleared his throat.

"Do you want to lead or do you want me to lead?"

"Maybe you should lead, you're… taller than me." Virgil decided, resting his one hand on Roman's shoulder and taking his hand.

"You know short people can lead too." Roman returned with a smirk.

Virgil rolled his eyes. "I'm not that short."

Roman slowly led Virgil around the clear space of the gym, his eyes staying on Virgil as he did. "You clean up well."

"You have nothing else to compare this to."

"Except the mad emo vibes you're giving off with the dark purples and blacks, Purple Day."

"And you aren't dripping with your own princely vibes with your gold mask, Princey?" Virgil shot back amusedly.

"I'm taking that as a compliment, that is what I was going for." Roman grinned, twirling Virgil.

Virgil had to catch himself against Roman as he was pulled back towards him, he chuckled awkwardly, his eyes flickering up to Roman's for a second, a light blush gracing his pale cheeks. "I didn't think you'd actually come." He admitted.

Roman's expression became one of deep sincerity, tipping Virgil's head up with his hand like straight out of a scene from a movie. "For you I would be anywhere in a heartbeat."

Virgil softly pushed Roman's hand away, hiding his face again. "Shoulda expected you'd be this corny."

Roman smiled.

Virgil glanced around the gym for a moment to give his face a little bit of time to recover, turning back to Roman. "Do you wanna get out of here?"

"I thought you would never ask." Roman chuckled, eagerly pulling Virgil towards the doors out into the hallway, eyes flickering back to him with a smirk. "Have anywhere you would like to go? I could give you a tour of the school. I do happen to know my way around the place quite well."

Virgil paused, stopping Roman with him. "You do?"

"Well I would hope so I have been coming here for a couple years now. I know which classes go on in which rooms and who teaches what and what plays and musicals they've done each year since I've been here in order." Roman listed off confidently. "I could also-"

"I go here."

"-tell you-" Roman stopped talking mid sentence, going over what Virgil had just said, trying to process it and raising his eyes to meet Virgil's after looking him over more carefully. "We've been texting each other when we've actually been going to the same school?" He chuckled in disbelief, running a hand through his hair and looking up at the ceiling. How had they not become friends offline already? Even if it was a big school they would have had to bump into each other before now, right?

"Ci?"

Roman glanced back down to Virgil, starting in surprise to see the mask removed from his face, held in one hand, his head lowered.

Virgil peered up at Roman while rubbing his arm. "I'm-"

"Virgil? You're- you're…?" Roman had to get closer just to be certain, taking Virgil's head into his hands and tilting it up further.

"Anxiety." Virgil nodded, clearing his throat and awkwardly pulling his face away with a light blush. "So… you recognize me?"

Roman dropped his hands. Virgil was Anxiety? Anxiety was Virgil? The guy he had been texting, his best friend, his crush… He was the same guy who had avoided him for over a year? Who had been hesitant to become his friend. Who-

Roman took a shaky step back away from Virgil. -who knew his parents disowned him. Who was letting him stay at his place out of pity… Who had already seen him at his worst.

"Princey? Princey, you okay?" Virgil took hold of Roman's upper arms to keep him steady. "Can you look at me and take in a deep breath for me?"

Roman quickly shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut. The one guy he couldn't quite win over was the one he'd been waiting to meet and charm for almost five years now? He opened his eyes, eyebrows pinching together in distress as he began to distance himself from Virgil, moving towards the exit, growing faster and faster in his movements.

Virgil followed quickly after him, trying to grab his arm to stop him. "Ci, wait!" He pushed himself to pick up speed only to trip over his own feet, catching himself on his hands and knees. Shaking his head and hitting the floor with a clenched fist. What did he do wrong? How had he messed this up? Why wasn't he smart enough to figure this out? He pushed himself back up to his feet, swiping an arm across his eyes. What if Princey got hurt out there in his current state? He could get run over or he could get into a car accident or any number of things all because of him. All because of something he had to have done wrong. He hurried to the theatre, throwing one of the doors open. This was all his fault.

Roman peeked his head out from behind the curtain of the shower, turning and lowering his head so Logan could get a better look at it. "Is it all out now?"

"There are still a few patches of dye on the left side of your head behind your ear." Logan sighed, watching Roman's face as it disappeared again and turning his back to the shower. "Though I do not understand how it is that Virgil did not recognize you, you are the one who is stupid for not expecting Virgil to react as he did."

"I am not stupid." Roman argued tiredly, stepping out after Logan could not find any traces of the temporary dye left and covering himself up with one towel as he dried his hair with another. "I merely was not thinking about how he would because I was-"

"Because you were running away because you assumed he'd reject you as soon as he knew it was you behind your mask." Logan interrupted, pinching his nose. "You did not even stop to consider how badly Virgil might take it with you rushing out of the school after having just removed his mask."

Roman pulled on his white t-shirt, hanging up the towels to dry. "Yeah, that might look bad but-"

Logan turned around to face Roman with a glare, arms folded. "It did look bad, Roman, there are a limited amount of scenarios that Virgil could come up with of why you left him as promptly as you did with no explanation. None of those scenarios are good."

Roman pushed past him, grabbing the hamper of clothes with him out of the room to wash so Virgil wouldn't stumble upon his tux. He rolled his eyes, stepping out of the bathroom. "I'm sure he'll be fine, he has Patton with him to help calm him down." He gestured down the stairs when he heard the garage door being opened and closed. "See, fi-" He shut up when he got a glance down the stairs.

Patton was holding Virgil's mask and vest in his hands, not that Roman could see him without the glasses and in front of the floating fabric was Virgil.

Virgil's top few buttons of his shirt were undone, his sleeves bunched up over his arms unevenly, but what caught Roman's attention the most was his face. His eye shadow was smeared down his cheeks, his eyes… His eyes were red and puffy, clearly from crying if the few dried streaks down to his chin were anything to go by. He held one hand over his face as he passed Logan and Roman without a word, not even sparing a glance at them as he climbed up the stairs to the attic, shutting the trap door behind him.

Patton paused in front of Logan and Roman, glancing between the attic and two of them. "Hey, Logan... I thought you said you needed to get home."

Logan adjusted his glasses, taking the vest from Patton and folding it up, setting the mask on top. "I was going to but then I realized that it was rude of me to leave you to help Virgil on your own so I requested Roman to bring me here to wait for the two of you to return. I am sorry that I left you so abruptly."

Patton smiled. "Awe, you didn't have to come, Lo, but thanks, I'm glad you did."

Logan gave a curt nod, moving up the stairs and pushing the trap door open, leaving Patton and Roman behind.

Roman kept his eyes on the attic, rubbing his arms with a guilty look on his face.

"Kiddo? Are you okay?" Patton rested a hand on his arm.

Roman lowered his arms, picking the laundry hamper back up and entering his room. "Yeah, I'm good Padre, you should go and check back up on Virgil."

Patton hesitated, not quite believing Roman, but still worried about Virgil. "Okay… If you need me you know where to find me."

"'Kay. Night, Pat."

"Goodnight, Roman." Patton returned, watching as Roman shut the door and moved over to his bed, burying his face in his pillow with a sigh.

"I'm an idiot."

Patton reached a hand out, grimacing when he heard Logan call for him. He dropped his hand, he'd have to comfort Roman later, right now Virgil needed him more even if it did hurt to leave one of his kiddos like this. He turned to leave, glancing back at Roman. "No you're not."

"Patton?" Roman looked up, remembering he still wasn't wearing his glasses he just laid back down when no one replied, curling up and grabbing his phone sending a message to Virgil.

I'm sorry

Chapter Five - Ghoulish Nicknames

Roman sat on his bed, a notebook in his lap, fiddling with the pen in his hand. Virgil was over across the street, checking up of Patton. He had picked up this little habit of going over to everyone’s houses, just to look at his friends and see them again. He had told Roman it helped him to see them again, but every time he came back he looked a little bit sadder. Roman couldn’t do anything to stop him though, and so he was currently taking this time alone as an opportunity to come up with some ghost nicknames.

Roman had a notebook full of nicknames he had for Virgil, and a couple extra for each of his other friends. He had spent countless nights thinking about them and jotting them down, and now he had quite an impressive list. However, having his best friend be a ghost meant that new nicknames were needed. He looked up a list of famous ghosts, and was surprised to find the list was quite short.

Roman looked back at the nicknames he already had on his list. He had some pretty good ones, if he did say so himself. Patrick Lazy, Virgil the Unfriendly Ghost, Ghost of Christmas Sass (Virgil better appreciate that one, he was very proud of that one). But three nicknames weren’t enough. What other fictional ghosts were there? Bloody Mary! That was a ghost right? So… Bloody Virgil? Bloody Emo? He wrote both down, deciding to choose whenever he used them. Harry Potter had tons of ghosts! Nearly Headless Nick, Bloody Baron, Grey Lady, Moaning Myrtle. Alright nicknames… Moaning Emo? Oh god no that sounded far too sexual! Roman sighed, but wrote it down anyway, making a little note to comment about basilisks and bathrooms if he ever used that one. He looked at the list of ghosts he had looked up. Many names he didn’t recognise, and many were just listed as ghost, but a couple he knew of. The Hogwarts ghosts, the ghosts from a Christmas Carol, Danny Phantom… Emo Phantom? He couldn’t just keep replacing one word with the word emo, there was more to Virgil than that. Come on, Roman, think, what are some words to describe Virgil? Sassy, snarky, clever, anxious, emo, cute (objectively of course), hot (again objectively), he had a nice smile, his eyes were pretty cool, freckles…. Shit stop getting distracted, focus on his personality…. He’s nice and funny and oddly charming, but can’t make those into nicknames. Think Roman think!

“Whatcha doing?”

Roman jumped, startled out of his train of thought. He tried, and failed, to hide the contents of the notebook, but Virgil noticed the title before he could do so.

“Ghost nicknames? Wait, Princey, you write these down?” Virgil said, a look of pure amusement on his face. Roman face flushed a deep red, and he gave an offended Princey noise.

“Pfft No!” Roman scoffed. “What would make you think that?”

“Gee I wonder… maybe the title on the page?”

“Oh shut up!”

“So tell me Princey, what ghostie nicknames do you have for little old me?” Virgil lay down on the bed and looked up at Roman with a huge grin on his face.

“As if I would tell you that easily.” Roman stood up and put away his notebook, then flopped down on the bed next to Virgil. “So where did you go this time?”

Virgil sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I went to see Patton, as always, and he seemed to be going through a depressive episode, but I didn’t stay for long because Logan came over and I felt like I was intruding too much, so I went to see Janus and he seemed okay… I think… it was hard to tell. I stayed for about half an hour there, because he wasn’t really doing anything and I hadn’t seen visited him since… well… you know. And then…. I went to see my parents….” Virgil’s voice wavered a bit and trailed off.

“I’m sorry Virgil,” Roman said gently. He reached to take Virgil’s hand, but it only hit the bed. Virgil blinked rapidly and looked up, trying his best not to cry, but a couple of tears slipped out and rolled down his cheeks.

“I sometimes forget that I am dead… that I am gone from these people’s lives. I have gotten used to the whole not being seen thing… I think, but I forget that I am dead. Some part of me just thinks I am invisible and that I am just looking out for my friends, but I am… dead. I can never see them again.” Virgil took a deep breath, trying to steady his voice. Tears were streaming down his face now. Roman gave him a sympathetic look. “And my parents… they are so sad. My mother, she was crying, and she never cries, and my dad, he look just empty. He is normally so full of life… I never wanted to die, Roman… I didn’t mean to die…” Virgil was fully crying at this point. He sat up and put his head on his knees, hugging his legs. Roman put his arms around Virgil, and rested his head in Virgil’s soft hair… no, that wasn’t right! He couldn’t be… but he was! He was touching Virgil, holding him as tight as he could, with no air between them.

Roman held Virgil for as long as possible, not wanting to let go, in case this was a fluke. Virgil slowly calmed down, his heavy crying turning into gentle sobs, which eventually became shaky breathing. As Virgil calmed down he became less solid, and Roman felt the weight of his friend lift from his arms, and soon his hands were just passing through empty air, although Virgil looked as solid as ever. Virgil lifted his head from his knees, looking at Roman with dawning realization on his face. Roman just looked shocked, and slightly sad.

“Were you hugging me?” Virgil asked, his voice barely a whisper, as if hardly believing it to be true. Roman nodded silently. The two sat in shock for a moment, taking in the reality of a situation that defied the laws of every possible science.

“How?” Virgil asked after a while.

“I don’t know. I just really wanted to hug you, so badly, and so I went for it, kind of without thinking, and it… worked,” Roman said. Virgil looked down at his feet, a look of deep concentration on his face. “Are you good there, Patrick Lazy?”

Virgil smiled up at Roman in a way Roman had never seen Virgil smile before. It was soft and gentle, carrying more emotion than Roman could comprehend and yet somehow he understood everything the smile was trying to convey. The look stayed for a moment or two, before changing into a grin of amusement.

“Was that one of the nicknames on the list?” Virgil asked, laughing. Roman gave an offended scoff at the jab.

“Pfft what? Of course not!”

“But there is a list? You didn’t deny it!” Virgil said in a singsongy voice.

“Oh shut up!” Roman scrambled over the bed to try and get closer of Virgil, who ran over to the other side of the room, laughing.

“What are you going to do? Punch me? I’m a ghost, genius! You can’t touch me!”

Roman gave an annoyed huff, but there was a smile on his face, and soon he too was laughing, the sound filling the room. Virgil paused at the sound of Roman’s giggles, staring at his friend, who was sprawled out on the bed, bent double with laughter, his auburn hair a mess from chasing Virgil and a look of pure joy on his face. Something stirred deep within him, but he didn’t know what, nor did he care at that moment. For now everything was good.

Helpless Au - A draft fragment

This is my Prinxiety ghost/haunted mansion AU.

More about the AU

If anyone wants to be tagged on posts regarding the AU, please, just comment, I’ll be thrilled.

Helpless Au - A draft fragment: In which Logan saves Virgil’s life from a situation worse than social interaction and, thus, they become best friends.

This is written quickly, because it’s a draft, not to say that it’s poorly written (although that would be for each one to judge), just that some transitions are fast as a means to tell efficiently what’s going on.

CW: Persecution, swearing, anxiety on Virgil’s part (but that is to be expected). Nothing more I can think of (don’t hesitate to tell me if you find anything else).

Word count: 2069 (heh, you know what that means).

Virgil goes down the pathway that takes him out of the grounds of Patton’s house. Even though the sun is still setting, there’s a certain degree of darkness because the clouds have turned black. A pouring is about to start, Virgil rushes so he doesn’t get caught in it on his way back to the mansion.

He reaches the dirt path that’s beside the road, he ought to be in the mansion in a matter of five minutes, provided that he walks at a decent pace. Patton’s house is relatively near the mansion, but, for starters, Patton’s garden and the mansion’s are equally enormous, and, secondly, the access that connects them by road, the only way to come back without jumping a fence (which wouldn’t have been an ideal first impression for Patton’s grandma, but, now that Virgil knows her, perhaps the strange woman would have found it hilarious), is quite twisted.

Virgil sees a person walking in the distance. He doesn’t really care for it, he simply internally prays that they won’t speak to him. Social interaction would be worse than anything. ANYTHING.

Predictably, it begins to rain and Virgil quickly gets his folding umbrella out of his backpack. Quite a thoughtful present from his dad, not to mention the cool design with a giant white skull on a black background. He keeps on walking whilst thinking ‘fuck, my converse are turning into soup. Heh, my converse are at soup. But, for real, this is horrible’.

After a while he realises that the person from before is keeping the same distance and Virgil proceeds to methodically overthink it: ‘they don’t have an umbrella, how is it that they aren’t walking faster? They’re getting drenched!’. He asks himself too where are they even going, taking into account that the only thing ahead is the mansion. In the end, Virgil chooses to walk faster. So does whoever. This is when Virgil lets go off his umbrella and RUNS.

Our favourite emo searches for his phone, but lo and behold, it’s not anywhere to be found. The memory hits him like a brick ‘OH SHIT I MUST HAVE FORGOT IT AT PATTON’S. COOL. I’M GOING TO DIE’. The stalker keeps on running and jumps over the umbrella, sprinting towards him.

Suddenly, a bike races by and skids into a stop with a deafening sound of the brakes. Logan is on that bike.

He looks at Virgil with a deadly serious expression and tells him to hop on. Virgil runs for the bike and gets on holding onto Logan.

Logan starts pedaling like a bat out of hell. THANK EVERYTHING THAT LOGAN’S LEGS ARE LONG.

“Sorry for not bringing a spare helmet, I wasn’t prepared for this happening”.

“Honestly, I don’t fucking care. You just saved my life”.

Would you look at that, there was something worse than social interaction after all. The universe must love him dearly to correct him in such a kind way.

“I wouldn’t exactly say so, but that man running after you is certainly distressing”.

“Light way to put it”.

“You’re right. It was scary. We ought to call the police as soon as possible”.

“You bet. What the fuck was that?”

“I don’t know. Oh, on the subject of calling, you left your phone at Patton’s”.

“Yeah, I found out while I was being chased. Honestly, thank god for my forgetful ass”.

Logan laughs loudly.

“Indeed”.

“I won’t tell Patton you laughed”.

“Thank you”.

“No, thank YOU, man”.

They arrive at the mansion completely soaked. He asks Logan for his phone and calls Janus to open the door.

After a while, the entrance door swings open.

Janus starts by saying: “Sorry if you rang the doorbell, I was in my room and I didn’t…” that’s when he takes a proper look at his brother and Logan and is worried sick. The only thing he can ask, obviously, is: “WHAT HAPPENED?!”

Virgil explains, not gladly, none of the events could quite get him in the mood, the world shall be left wondering why.

Janus tells him to take Logan to one of the bathrooms and let him borrow some clothes so he can get the shower he so desperately seems to be needing and also instructs him to do the same while he calls the police and their father.

The sound of keys then is heard. Janus mentally tells himself ‘one less call, then’.

The father enters frantically asking for Virgil, two umbrellas in his hand.

He sees him wet from head to toe in the hall with his friend and runs to hug his son.

“I saw your umbrella laying on the road on my way here. Thank god you’re fine. What happened?” he asks while looking at his sons and Logan.

Janus gestures him while on the phone and mouths an ‘I’m on it’.

“Okay, tell me after getting a shower, both of you. Lend him some clothes, you can take some of mine if they don’t fit. Oh, hello, by the way, I’m Virgil’s dad” he says as he offers his hand.

Logan gladly takes it. Yes, gladly, because social acceptance and interaction are quite refreshing from his usual interpersonal awkwardness.

“Greetings as well, I’m Logan, and I’m Virgil’s…” he thinks about how to phrase it properly but Virgil simply cuts him.

“He’s my friend, dad”.

“Oh, gosh, you made a new friend! That’s great son! Well, we can talk later, go get that shower”.

“Okay. Follow me Logan”.

They both climb the main stairs and turn to the block of rooms to the left.

Logan talks about the architecture all the way. They go up the spiral staircase. He mentions that the painting of the house that hanged in front of the stairs looks like an impressionist depiction of a British manor of the sixteenth century. Virgil blinks like on a vine and asks him how does he know that.

“I have an appreciation for architecture”.

“Just as you do for poetry”.

“Indeed”.

They reach the bathroom of the second floor.

Virgil tells him that he’ll go to his room to fetch some clothing and might leave it on a chair outside or in the bedroom nextdoor.

“I’ll see you at the living-room”.

“How can I find it?”

“Go downstairs back to the hall and then to the left, it’s the room with the big ass stage”.

“That seems a little excessive”.

“Yeah, the dude who made the house was extra af”.

The police arrives and takes their statement. A middle aged woman and her young male partner question them. The partner looks kind of goofy but pays full attention, the lady, on the other side, looks like she is done with life after having seen too much shit, but she is really nice.

“Look, guys, I’m going to be honest with ya. It’s hard to tell if we may find whoever did that, because you haven’t seen their face. Without that, there isn’t that much we can do to find them. Pressing charges is hardly possible because they did not assault you nor pulled out a gun. What they did to you was bad, and I’d love to be able to help more, but I cannot tell you how this is going to turn out, it’s a tricky situation”.

“Excuse me, ma'am, but, hadn’t I arrived when I did, anything could have happened to my friend. It is most distressing to have someone chase you down and I can’t make out what their intentions would be to do such a thing if the individual didn’t plan something nasty”.

“We know it’s unfair, well make sure to catch them!” the goofy-looking guy answers this time. In his righteous enthusiasm he coughs a few times.

“Asthma too?”.

The guy looks at him awkwardly and nods.

“Can I speak to you alone, son?” the lady asks Virgil.

“Sure”.

They leave the room to the corridor of high ceilings that connects it to the library and the main dining room. The voice of his father and Ethan are coming from the library, discussing their shared worries. The talking ends as soon as they hear them.

“Why do you think that person was chasing you?”

“How could I know? Am I in trouble for something?”

“Uuuugh” she pinches the bridge of her nose “shit, I didn’t mean to make it sound like that. Look, if anything remotely weird has happened, that could link to that person chasing you I need to know, I want you guys to be safe. It’s never a good sign to be chased by someone on a lonely road. Tell me, it’s my understanding that you and your family have been here for a month, has anything out of the ordinary occurred? Something that could alarm you?”

“I’m the kind of person that is alarmed by mostly anything so you’ll have to be more specific”.

“I’m also that kind of person, Virgil, so I hope you understand what I tell you when I say that there’s the ordinary kind of alarming; like the fear forgetting about closing your front door, and finding that door open after you made sure to check it was closed”.

Virgil breathes in with tension. He feels watched. Not precisely by his family, which is odd. Who else would be watching? Damn, this hypervigilance thing was driving him nuts. Although, this once it made total sense, the situation had been a perfect brew for anxiety.

“Would you mind following me elsewhere?”

“Sure”.

On their way upstairs, to the tower room, Virgil adds:

“Okay, I know it seems kinda weird to make you climb all of these stairs and unnecessarily mysterious, but my room is the ‘loneliest place in the castle’ and I don’t want my family to get worried if they overhear this”.

“It’s fine, son, that’s perfectly understandable”.

They enter the room and the lady whistles in awe.

“Wow, what a room you got here, I’d wish I’ve had this when I was your age”.

“Well, you must be the only one”.

“Why is that?”.

“Everybody keeps on ranting about how this place is freaky”.

“Is it?”.

“No. This and the library are the nicest places in the house. I like being able to see so much”.

Virgil guides her to one of the windows.

“Well, with the panoramic view, it’s almost like a watch tower”. “There” Virgil points at the part of Patton’s garden that’s visible. “A few nights ago I spotted a guy talking at a phone, I think he saw me watching him, because when he looked at the tower he immediately left”.

Later, when the police has left, Logan tells him that he is trans. Why? Well, he has to stay the night because the pouring is more like a violent storm. Also, Patton might kill him if he doesn’t take off his binder, which he put back on in spite of being soaked.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got your back dude. Here, have this, it’s one of my baggiest”.

On Virgil’s hand is a giant black zip-up hoodie.

“It’s not much of my style, and not the most elegant solution, but it will suffice. Although, it is very comfortable and the fabric texture is kind on the skin. Thank you very much. I shall take off my binder and put it on”.

“Toilet’s over there. Place the binder on the radiator so it dries”.

Virgil tends to his devices. Logan comes back with the hoodie on, comfy as ever.

“Are we having a sleepover?”

“I don’t know. Do you want us to have one?”

“I’m unsure as to if it’s appropriate given the circumstances that brought me here, as well as the fact that I have no expertise on the subject”.

“Neither do I, but it could be cool. We can have a spooky sleepover, throw some candles here and there and read Edgar Allan Poe or watch some horror films”. “I’m not convinced by the horror films, but, perhaps some Hitchcock would be a suitable replacement suggestion and we may add Bukowski to the least of authors to read”.

“Sounds fine by me. Maybe we could get Patton on Skype”.

“I’d enjoy that. On a different note, it’s getting late, we should have dinner”.

“Uh, sorry, right, you probably didn’t have time at Patton’s”.

“Not to worry, though, I’m glad I didn’t. Otherwise I wouldn’t have caught you in time”.

“Ain’t that the truth”.
