Chapter Text
To say Logan hadn't expected knocking on his door at such a late hour was to put it lightly. Logan had waited until he was sure everyone was asleep before he had crawled into his hidden away blanket nest and cried through the different events of the week that upset and frustrated him. He always did it this way, and it was rare he was interrupted, but here he was. He wiped quickly at his eyes at the second set of knocking, crawling from the nest and heading to the door. He cracked it just before the person on the other side knocked, doing his best to look tired. He blinked in confusion at the sight of Virgil standing there.
"Oh, hello Virgil. What are you doing up at this hour?" Logan asked, voice gentle. The other side, clad in purple like normal, shrugged lightly before rubbing his neck.
"I heard you crying and I got worried. I've been listening in for a few nights. I thought it was just a one time thing but I just kept hearing it and figured I should, uh, check up." Virgil offered up a tiny smile, and Logan felt himself immediately holding back an urge to break down.
"I appreciate your concern Virgil. Things have been.. difficult to say the least lately."
"Well, you can come to me, Logan. We're your family. I'm your family." Virgil shrugged gently, pulling his hoodie a bit tighter around himself. “If you want me to go I will, you just have to say-”
“Please stay?” The words came out quiet from Logan’s mouth, almost embarrassed, but were clearly enough to get Virgil to look up. He nodded quietly, stepping closer into Logan’s room. Logan stepped back, looking down quietly. “I apologize but I just-”
“Logan. I’m staying. Come on, we’re going to lay down and calm down.” Virgil offered a tiny smile, taking Logan’s hand gently and leading him to the bed. Once Logan was sat down Virgil hummed, moving toward a nearby bookshelf and setting it on the bed. “Okay, put on something comfy.” He hummed, smiling gently to Logan. Logan gave a nervous hum, looking down.
“I don’t really, um, have any comfortable clothes. I haven’t ever really needed them.” Logan admitted quietly. Virgil tutted his tongue before nodding, shrugging his hoodie off and holding it out to Logan.
“Take it. You need it more than me right now.” Virgil shook it a bit, waiting for Logan to sit up and grab it. The other side did after a long moment, taking it and pulling it on quickly. He took in a breath, clearly happier with it on. He tugged the hoodie around himself, smiling gently as Virgil climbed onto the bed and pushed up his sleeves, quietly tucking himself next to Logan and grabbing the book he had sat down earlier. He gently pushed a hand into Logan’s hair, beginning to play with it before opening up the book. “I hope this one’s alright. I know you like star things and so I thought this one may be good.” Virgil explained quietly, getting a nod from the other side. He had quietly pressed his face into Virgil’s shoulder, getting comfortable. Virgil began to read quietly, not stopping even when he felt Logan start crying into his shoulder, nor when he felt Logan’s breath even out as his body went still.
