Trigger warnings

Yelling
Crying (with comfort)
Hidden Unsympathetic Deceit (Forced fusion mentioned)

Virgil was sitting in the living fiddling around with the cord of his headphones while they blared music into his ears. He was sort of leaned into Logan'ss side. Virgil had had a rough night and he was barely holding on to his awake mind. He had yet another dream about Deceit and the... Fusion.

Virgil shuttered at the thought and Logan seemed to notice. He moved his arm to be wrapped securely around Virgil in hopes of warming him up. Virgil nuzzles into him some more and lets out a relaxed sigh

"Virgil?" Spoke the gentle, calm and collected voice of his logical boyfriend.

Virgil glances up at Logan who had a concerned look on his face. Virgil gave a gentle smile and hugged Logan by the waist weakly. Logan set down the book he was reading pages down. He then shifted to be holding Virgil. more securely "Dear, Are you alright? You seem more tense and anxious than usual. Having nightmares again?"

Virgil bit at his lip and chewed at it with his teeth. Logan gave a small grunt of disapproval and moved his hand up to cup Virgils cheek and carefully tugged his lip from between his teeth "Dear, I recommend not doing that for it can permanently damage your lips...."

Virgil gave a gentle smile and leaned into Logans touch his eyes falling closed. Logan gave a gentle smile and was going to lean in and place a gentle kiss on his lips if it wasn't for their other boyfriends entering the room. Patton carried a box of cookies and immediately bound over. He jumped onto the couch behind Virgil.

Virgil sort of jumped into Logan out of surprise. Patton tilted his head with a concerned look then looked to Roman who brought over a small mug of hot cocoa. He glances at Virgil who was now uncoiling from Logan but Logan's arms were stiffly secured on Virgils hips preventing him from leaving. Virgil rolls his eyes shifts to be sitting between his legs his back to Logan's chest. He carefully tugged his headphones off and set them to the side after turning the playlist off. He grabs the cocoa and savored the warmth it emitted before sipping at it.

Patton gave a giggle as Roman sat down between the two and Patton on the middle cushion. Patton opened the box and as Virgil looked up at him Patton popped one in his mouth. Virgil's eyes widen but then soften at the taste of his favorite cookie, MnM. He smiles and relaxes back into Logan as he noms on the cookie happily using one hand to hold the cookie and the other his cocoa.

Pattons and Roman both lean over and snuggle into him but Romans hair brushes Virgils cheek and causes him to giggle and everything freezes and then everyone's laughing. Everyone starts to feel warm and fuzzy and almost one. Then they begin to glow and suddenly, in a flash of light, they are one being.

Their hair was dyed 4 different colors, red, purple, yellow and dark blue. Their clothes were insane, a black button-up shirt with a black hoodie that had blue patchwork and cat ears on the hood and a red sash and crown to top it all off. They had 4 eyes, each a different color, one free, one blue, one brown and one grey. They had four arms and two legs. They felt safe and protected but suddenly things began to get harder. They started to shake and feel scared. The fusion stumbled as they stood and then fell in a matter of a few seconds they had unfused.

This left all 4 men on the floor, Patton had landed on his knees, Roman on his back, Logan on his bum and Virgil on his side shaking. He was scared... No... Terrified.

After collecting himself, Logan stood and went over ti, Patton, seeing as he was the closest. He helped him up but now that Patton was standing he saw Virgil crying and shaking. He ran over and dropped back onto his knees and went to touch him but stopped when Logan called out "No! Don't touch him!"

Patton didn't he whispered "V...Virgil?" In response said side glances up through teary eyelashes and smeared makeup.

After helping Roman up, Logan and Roman made their way over to the 2. They went onto their knees and Logan held out a hand "may I touch you, Virgil?"

With a nod from the boy, Logan bent down and scooped Virgin up into his arms. He held the blubbering Virgil to his chest and rubbed soothing circles into his back. Patton smiles and goes behind Logan so he can see Virgils face which was resting on Logan's shoulder. Patton pressed a kiss to Virgils head causing the boy to laugh. Roman had stood and gone to the kitchen to get tea.

Once Virgil had calmed down they all decided to move to the couch and talk. Logan was the first to speak "Virgil... I would like to ask why you got so worried about fusing? It isn't as if we didn't know it could happen"

It is true. The sides knew they could fuse and make other sides like Patton and Logan made Emile Pisani. Roman and Patton made Pranks. Logan and Roman made Inspiration. But Virgil never wanted to fuse, he got nervous when asked and began to cry.

"I- I just have had bad experiences with it before..." His head hung low and tears dripped down onto his lap.

Patton brushed his fingers through Virgils hair "It's Okay Baby... But we need to know"

"Yes, whatever it is we will help you..." Roman pressed a quick peck to Virgils forehead.

Virgil nods "me and... Deceit. We have fused before... Not that I wanted to but..."

Logan mumbles "he forced you to..." In response, Virgil nods gently

Romans eyes went angry and Virgil got the wrong idea and huddled into Logan. Roman noticed and his expression went gentle again "No No No Darling I'm not mad at you... I am mad at him..." Roman pressed kisses all along Virgils face until he pressed one to Virgils lips and then pulled away "I love you, Darling..."

"Yes, I love you too Dear" Logan stated with a peck to Virgils head.

"Love you, baby," Patton said with a hug and kiss to his cheek.

"I love you, nerds, too..." He smiles and hugs all of them
