A small redraw of this sketch from May that somehow almost hit 9k notes.

“Virgil, look! Look!”

Virgil sighed and looked up to where Patton was pointing. Across the school parking lot, Patton was pointing at their fellow classmate and captain of the football team, Roman Prince.

‘Yes, Pat,” Virgil said patiently, “I see him.”

Patton hung onto Virgil’s arm and sighed, resting his head on Virgil’s shoulder. “He’s so pretty!” Patton cooed. “He’s so pretty I think I’m going to faint! Vee, Vee, isn’t he so cute?!”

Virgil rolled his eyes and huffed. “I guess.” He perked up when Roman was joined by another student, Logan, the head of the Robotics and Science clubs. “Logan’s better looking though.”

Patton gasped and shook his head. “Nu-uh! Logan’s a cutie pie, I’ll give you that, but Roman is so much more handsome!” He pouted and looked away, starting to lead Virgil to his car. “Too bad he’d never notice me.”

Virgil squeezed Patton’s shoulders comfortingly. “If it makes you feel better, Logan probably wouldn’t even give me the time of day.”

“Oh,” Patton giggled, “what a pair we are. Oh well.”

“Yeah,” Virgil sighed fondly, “oh well.”

Logan discretely watched his and Roman’s crushes across the parking lot. Roman had his back to them and was watching Logan intently. “Well? Did they look at us?” 

Logan shook his head and adjusted his glasses. “No, they didn’t. Not even a glance.”

Roman huffed and crossed his arms. “Seriously!?“ He frowned sadly. “I knew that they wouldn’t. Patton probably doesn’t even know me outside of class.”

“At least your crush knows you,” Logan said dryly. “I am certain that Virgil wouldn’t even know my name.” He sighed and shook his head. “What I wouldn’t give to have a conversation with him. He leads the debate team to so many victories. His mind must be as sharp as a whip.”

Roman snorted and shook his head. “Virgil might be a good debater but he has nothing on Patton. I mean,” he gestured at Patton who was getting into his car, “Patton is the head of Student Council and he’s the head cheerleader! He’s simply amazing!”

Logan watched Patton’s car drive out of the parking lot. “It is too bad neither of them would ever notice us.”

“Yeah. Too bad.”

Virgil turned the corner of the school hallway and yelped when he ran straight into the back of someone was standing, falling down on his ass and slipping a few drops of coffee on his shirt. He hissed and looked up, ready to rip into whoever had been standing right where people would be coming, when he froze.

Because standing right in front of him with a concerned look on his face, was Logan.

“Are you alright?” Logan asked. He bent down and offered Virgil his hand. “You’re not hurt, are you?”

Virgil took Logan’s hand, screaming in panic inside because Logan Abbott was holding his hand! “Um, I’m good,” he said shyly. “Just a few drops of coffee on me so no harm was done.”

Virgil was pulled to his feet and Logan put his other hand on his arm to steady him. “I apologize. I shouldn’t have been standing there in the way.”

“No,” Virgil quickly assured him. “I should’ve been looking where I was going. Sorry about that, Logan.”

Logan’s eyes lit up with some emotion that Virgil could figure out and he smiled widely. “How about we mutually agree that it’s no one’s fault?”

Virgil chuckled and nodded. “Sounds good. Um, I should probably head to class.” He went to leave but as he left, Logan stumbled in his direction alerting Virgil to the fact that he was still holding Logan’s freaking hand.

Both boys quickly dropped the other’s hand. “Apologies,” Logan muttered, looking away. “That was my fault.” 

“No problem,” Virgil mumbled back before rushing off down the hall. He fished out his phone out of his pocket to tell Patton about what just happened. But he couldn’t believe he acted so stupid in front of his crush!

“I cannot believe I acted so stupid in front of him!”

Roman was watching his friend in amusement as he paced around Roman’s bedroom. “I doubt it was that bad,” he tried to comfort him.

Logan groaned and flopped down on Roman’s bed. “I made him spill coffee on himself! And I didn’t let go of his hand until he was trying to leave! I acted ridiculously! Virgil must think terribly of me!”

Roman patted his shoulder and grimaced. “Well, did nothing good happen about this meeting?”

There was a pause before a small smile grew on Logan’s face. “He knew my name,” he offered quietly. 

Roman gasped and flopped down next to him, grinning happily at his face. “See! He knows who you are! The first step is over, your foot is in the door! You can talk to him now!”

Logan gave him a look that suggested that he thought that Roman was being particularly stupid. “Please, Roman. After what happened today, I doubt that Virgil would ever want to see me again.”

He slung his bag over his shoulder and headed out of the door from the change room. Patton covered his mouth and closed his eyes as a yawn escaped him. He really couldn’t wait until he was at his kiddo’s house where they could have a good cuddle, movie session. He just wished that there wouldn’t be any delays on his way home because he really didn’t want to deal with no one besides his precious Virgil.

“Patton!” Well, almost no one else.

Patton made a sound that sounded like a mix between a yelp and a squeak (how embarrassing!) He turned around and fixed a smile on his face to greet Roman, who was running down the hall toward him with a big smile on his face.

“Hello, Roman!” Patton chirped. He folded his hands behind his back and tilted his head, hoping that he wasn’t acting weird or anything like that. “How can I help you?”

Roman reached Patton and doubled over, placing his hands on his knees and taking deep breaths. He straightened up and grinned at Patton. “Hi, Patton. I’m sorry to bother you but I really need your help.”

Patton’s heart leapt into his throat because Roman Prince needed his help! His help! “Oh, it’s no bother,” Patton shrugged, playing it off. “I’d be glad to help with whatever you needed. But, I really do need to go pick up my friend soon. He’s at Debate practice. Me and Virgil are going to watch some Star Wars tonight and he’s really excited to watch it. He loves space stuff”

Roman nodded and reached into his bag, pulling out a page of paper that Patton recognized as something their shared Drama teacher. “Have you finished this yet? I’m totally stuck on the last question and I was hoping you’d know.”

“Oh! Yeah, my friend helped me with it!” Patton shifted a little closer and tried to ignore Roman’s strong arms brushing up against his. “It’s a tricky question!” He pointed to the question that Roman was having trouble with. “It’s three beats! I think Mr. Sanders went over it with us early on in the term so I’m not surprised you didn’t remember. I needed help with it too.”

Roman grinned at him and Patton had to fight not to swoon. “Thanks a lot, Patton! You really helped me out. I was afraid that I wasn’t going to figure it out by tomorrow.”

Patton smiled at him kindly. “You would’ve figured it out, Roman! You’re so smart when it comes to drama.” He inwardly smacked himself for coming on so forward but Roman seemed to like it, beaming with happiness.

Roman brushed his hair back from his eyes. “Why, thank you! But, really, you completely saved me here.” He stuffed his paper back into his bag and gave Patton another bright smile. “I need to go pick up Logan from Robotics. Thanks again, Patty!”

Patton’s heart screeched with joy at the nickname but forced himself to turn away and wave goodbye to Roman over his shoulder. “No problem! Just glad I could help.” He waited until he turned the corner and then practically flew down the halls to get to where Virgil was waiting for him in the parking lot.

Virgil yelped when Patton jumped on him suddenly and squealed in his ear. “Patton! What-”

“Roman talked to me!” Patton squealed. “He stopped me in the hallway and asked me for help with his homework!”

Virgil gasped and pulled Patton to his car. “Okay, we are going to get snacks and you are going to spill the freaking tea! He actually talked to you?”

Patton nodded eagerly. “He did! Oh, he actually smiled at me, VeeVee! It was amazing!” He sighed and leaned his head on Virgil’s shoulder as Virgil dug through his hoodie pockets for his keys. “I know he didn’t feel the same way, but it felt magical.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I’m telling you, Lo, it was magical!”

Roman had his head in Logan’s lap and telling Logan all about his meeting with Patton in the hallway. The two were hanging out in Logan’s room to talk about Roman’s run-in with Patton.

“It certainly sounds like it,” Logan chuckled. “Though, didn’t you complete your drama homework in class?”

Roman smiled bashfully up at his friend. “I started a conversation with him and panicked! I’m just glad I grabbed an extra page by accident.” He sighed and his grin turned soft. “I’m just so happy right now! I talked to him! Oh, I almost forgot!”

He shifted his head off of Logan’s lap and sat up next to him. “Patton told me that your emo crush loves space. Apparently, he and Virgil are watching Star Wars tonight to cater to Virgil’s love of the stars.”

Logan’s smile turned soft and affectionate. “I wonder what he would think of stargazing,” he wondered aloud.

Roman snorted and punched his arm gently. “You have to ask him out first.”

Logan rolled his eyes. “Like that’s ever going to happen.”
