Don't Let Me Be Gone

Six

Romans POV
"Do you guys think we should be worried about Virgil?" I asked Patton and Logan once Patton came back downstairs.

"Probably not." Said Logan. "Considering how often this happens to Virgil, I'm positive that Virgil can adequately protect himself."

"Logan, something's obviously wrong with him." Argued Patton.

"Yeah and that something being what he does to Thomas." I Whispered. I shouldn't be thinking this, Virgil tries his best.

Where did that thought come from. Yes, I've talked kindly about Virgil in videos before but I've never genuinely felt a need to protect him like this before. Patton yelling snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Roman I'm surprised at you!" Said Patton. "We all know that we need him. Yes, sometimes Virgil can be too much, but he still protects Thomas!"

"But...can he actually be trusted to always have Thomas's best interested and health at mind?" Said Logan.

"Yes!" Patton said. "Sometimes..." He added quietly.

"Logan might be right about this." I mumbled. "But Virgil does his best, maybe if we helped him, it wouldn't give Thomas as much anxiety." I surprised myself by trying to defend Virgil, instead of actually agreeing with Logan on this.

"I'm always right Roman, we've talked about this before." Argued Logan.

"But...this is Virgil we're talking about." Said Patton, obviously very upset now. "He's a part of Thomas wether we like it or not."

"But is he the best for me?" Said Thomas unexpectedly. We all turned quickly, unaware that Thomas had been there the whole time.

"Thomas!" Yelled Patton in anger.

"I'm being serious Patton." Said Thomas.

"I kinda agree with Thomas, he sometimes puts a stop to Thomas's dreams." I said, but instantly felt guilty. I wouldn't want something to actually happen to Virgil. To his beautiful hair, his soft pale skin. Those beautiful brown eyes.

What is wrong with me?! I've never felt like this towards someone, much less an emo nightmare such as Virgil.

"More like your dreams." Muttered Logan.

"I'm going to ignore you and act like I didn't hear you Logan." I said.

"Would...it hurt Virgil if I took anxiety pills to...lessen the amount of anxiety?" Asked Thomas.

"Why would you even think something like that?!" Yelled Patton.

"Because lately, I've had too much anxiety." Said Thomas. "It's much more than usual and I don't know if I can handle it."

"It might be the right thing to do especially considering that if we talk to him about it, he'll just flip out on us." I said, agreeing with Thomas but still feeling extremely guilty. A part of me told me I needed to help Virgil but I squashed down that thought instantly.

"Thinking about this with reason, there is a very few percentage that taking pills would physically hurt Virgil." Said Logan. "The most it would do is make him more calm and less anxious."

"I can't believe any of you!" Said Patton, tears now in his eyes. "Virgil can't control that kind of stuff!"

"That's his job Patton. He is literally Thomas's anxiety." I said. But what if something bad did happen to him? What if I never get to see his adorable smirk ever again.

"But...But..." Said Patton.

"I think it would be for the best Patton." Said Thomas. "How about we take a vote."

"I agree." Said Logan. "All those for Thomas taking pills to help calm down anxiety, raise you hand."

Thomas, Logan, and I, reluctantly, all raised are hands. Patton stared at us, obvious disappointment in his eyes.

"Fine." He said, sounding extremely angry. "But if this hurts Virgil...it's on your hands." That made me feel instantly guilty.

With that Patton walked away to his room. We heard the door slam shut and we stood there awkwardly for a while.

"I guess I'll go to the pharmacy to get some anxiety pills than." Said Thomas as he grabbed his car keys off the table.

"We'll see you soon than." I Said. Once Thomas left, I turned towards Logan.

"It's won't hurt him...right?" I asked.

"No I don't believe so." Answered Logan.

I nodded slowly, unsure of what to say. I turned and walked up the stairs to my room, my thoughts racing. Why are my feelings for Virgil becoming so strong all the sudden.

Yes, I have a little bit of a crush on him, but I'd never admit it. Also usually, he manages to piss me off. But for some reason his sarcasm and how he could easily insult me back made me respect him.

I opened my door and walked into my room. I flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.

Am I really catching feelings for Virgil?
