Airdrop - Roman x Patton

Start from the beginning
                                    

A few days passed until Virgil's airdropping struck again. He was sitting in class beside another one of his friends, Remy. They were talking to each other about random things when a few boys across the room began to snicker. Virgil, with his anxiety and all, couldn't shake the feeling they were laughing at him, but after a little while they began to gesture to another student which made him relax, but he also hated himself for it. They were pointing to a student named Patton - Virgil had always wanted to become the boys friend, because he is the kindest, caring kid in the entire school. Plus, Virgil's heard he's pretty good at comforting, too, and Virgil's just always wanted a friend he could protect and cherish. His other friends didn't really need protecting, because they could all kick ass - especially Remy, who took out two senior boys who laughed at them for wearing a skirt.

Virgil felt so fucking mad they would laugh at Patton and make him feel uncomfortable, even though he hasn't ever done anything wrong to anyone, and he wanted to march over to them and punch them straight in their stupid faces, but he also knew that would be a stupid move. Instead, he brought out his phone, captured a bunch of pictures of cute animals - because Patton came into school each day wearing a different t-shirt that all held different, cute cartoonish animals - and sent it to him using airdrop.

Patton felt his phone vibrate and pulled it out, cocking his head when he saw the words 'Edgelord69 wants to share a photo' with the options 'accept' or 'decline' underneath. Curious, he pressed accept, his phone automatically taking him to his camera roll, where he saw a punch of cute animals filter through. He gasped quietly, holding a hand over his mouth as he looked through them. Virgil and Remy both watched him slowly began to smile, eventually blocking out the boys who were obviously annoyed he could ignore them. Virgil smirked smugly in response, finding making Patton smile to be the best accomplishment of his life, and he's had sex with Deceit. That boy has an ass to shake the gods.

In retaliation, one boy spoke up. "Patton's such a fag"

Everyone heard, only those certain boys laughed. Patton deflated, even staring at the cute angels couldn't make him smile anymore. Slowly putting away his phone, he stared at his work sheet, desperately trying not to cry. "That's fucking it, this bitch-"

Remy went to stand but Virgil grabbed their arm and sat them down. "Wait" he murmured quietly, scrolling far into his photo album. Remy huffed but did as they were told, glaring icily at the boys who wouldn't shut up! Finally, Virgil found what he was looking for, and airdropped it to the teachers computer. They flinched when they saw it, tugging off their earphones and eying the classroom. Finally, they could hear the homophobia, and went to flare up and beat the kids themselves, but Virgil hit the table to gain her attention, gesturing to the screen.

She slowly sat back down, peering closely and pressing accept. As soon as she did, a picture appeared on the board to the whole class, showing the boy who was homophobic on the ground, being attached by a squirrel, naked. "Hey, hoes, look at the board!" Remy called, which made everyone stop conversation, look over and laugh. The homophobic boy flushed in anger and humiliation, rising from his chair so fast it skidded across the ground behind him. "Take it off!" He demanded, but the teacher just smirked and idly shrugged her shoulders.

"Why would I do that when you think it's acceptable to treat Patton in such a way?" When his name was mentioned, Patton blushed lightly and shrunk in his seat, keeping his gaze away from the boy who felt rage burn up in him. "Take it down" he ordered again, teeth gritted. "Will you leave Patton alone?" The teacher pointedly stared, but at this point it didn't matter if the picture was taken away from the screen, everyone already had pictures.

"Yes, for fucks sake!" The boy exclaimed, finally the teacher took it down, winking subtly at Virgil who smirked and pocketed his phone. Patton looked amused by the whole thing, hiding it by ducking his head down and doing his work. "He's adorable. I wouldn't mind a piece of that" Remy whispered to Virgil who rolled his eyes and deadpanned them. "You're trying to get Deceit up your ass, remember?" Remy cocked their head to the side, slowly nodding. "Ever heard of a threesome, girl? He looks like he'd be up for it" again, Remy gestured to Patton, and Virgil shook his head.

"Leave him alone"

Remy cooed teasingly, "this hoe's protective"

Now that Virgil knew he could airdrop to boards, he came up with the perfect idea. Spending a good ten minutes to perfect a picture he planned to airdrop the next day, he flopped down onto his bed and grinned up at the ceiling. Roman was going to hate him. The next day, during morning assembly, Virgil leaned forward and tapped Roman's shoulder. The boy turned around, cocking his eyebrow at Virgil who smirked. "You're lonely, right?"

Roman rolled his eyes, "Yes, so?"

"Well, I'm gonna be your perfect wingman"

He sat up and winked at Logan who was controlling the computer for the slideshow. He nodded his head slightly in response, knowing he would never be allowed to do this again, but he would do anything for his boyfriend and to humiliate Roman. Virgil pressed the airdrop, and a few seconds later laughter erupted throughout the entire hall. On the screen, hanging in front of everyone, was a picture of Roman, half naked, wearing tight red boxers and a tie, facing the camera with an (admittedly) arousing expression, the word 'available' written above his head.

Roman's jaw slacked as he took in the picture. Beside him on either side, his theatre friends all cried with laughter. Roman wanted to be mad, and whirled around to glare at Virgil, but he couldn't even keep it up for longer than a second, for he was laughing too, so much so he fell to the ground and held his head in embarrassed amusement. The head teacher went wild and quickly used all her skills with technology (which were minimal) to try and get rid of it. A few teachers tried to keep their composure while turning the other way, the rest either glaring or trying to help the head. In the end, they shut down the computer, but no one could shut anyone up, and assembly was ended sooner than usual, which made everyone cheer and thank the 'mysterious airdropper'.

Virgil smirked, all proud of himself.

"I can't believe you" Roman sighed to his best friend, shoulders still shaking with the last few ounces of laughter, using his sleeves to clean his eyes. "What can I say? Best wingman in town" he shrugged like it was nothing. Roman went to retaliate when Patton came up to them shyly, one hand grasping tightly onto a bag strap, the other fiddling with the end of his cotton, blue sweatshirt.

"I uh.." he flushed, biting his lip, "I saw you were...available?"

Roman's eyes widened, eyes flickering between Virgil and Patton. From the silence, Patton took it the wrong way, "I-sorry-I..sorry" he whispered, going to leave but Roman struck out his hand, gripping his arm gently. "Hey, wait" he smiled at his flustered expression, reaching up to brush some of his soft brown/blond hair from his face, which made his cheeks further heat up. "Yes, I am available, how about a date this Friday evening?" Patton's mouth fell open, he hadn't expected to get a response like that! He thought he was being an idiot!

Glancing behind Roman, he saw the boys friends all nodding, holding up their thumbs. Patton smiled and looked back at Roman who was a foot taller. "I would love to.." he giggled softly, making Roman's heart melt. A girl came up behind Patton, slugging her arm around his waist. "Hello, sexy, heard you were available?" She smirked, Patton glancing up at her and whispering something into her ear.

As he did, she deflated and groaned. "Of course, well, gotta keep looking...I hear Deceit's single"

"Oh, bitch, no, he's mine" Virgil heard Remy mutter under their breath, making him snort and roll his eyes.

"C'mon, you thief" the girl gripped Patton's hand, flinging her hair back to eye Roman who was stuck to the spot. "Bye, sexy" she winked. Patton whined and tugged her through a doorway, their voices slowly disappearing.

A few beats of silence passed until;

"Sexy, huh?"

"Oh, shut it!"
