"Hey Logan..."
"Hey babe, how are you?"
"Fine, how are you and Roman without me?"
"Good Virge, we miss you"
"I miss you too." Virgil smiled and looked down at his hand. It wasn't supposed to go like this. He wasn't supposed to contract the virus. Despite all that, here he was, his fingers turning grey and secreting black fluid. It was deadly contagious so there was no way Virgil would be returning to his boyfriends unless he got better.

Logan knew what was going on, he could hear it in Virgil's voice. Virgil had caught it. Logan smiled that genuine (often followed by tears) smile of being so touched but so knowing at the same time.

"You've caught it haven't you?"
"Am I that easy to read?"
"I can hear it in your voice Virge. Come home. I don't care how contagious it is, me and Roman will do everything within our power to help you"
"I can't risk you getting it as well"
"I have to come clean, I have a medication for prevention that I perfected just before you called. Roman is just cleaning off before he comes in, I haven't taken the medication myself and neither has Patton."
"You tested it on Roman?"
"On myself first, then Roman."
"You tested... a medicine that might have not worked... and risked your life?"
"Yes" Logan admitted. Virgil was already walking back in the direction of the house with a reborn vigorous need to tell Logan off loudly for putting himself at such a risk. He began sprinting for the car. He got in as calmly as he could, still lecturing Logan on the phone.

Two hours later, there was a knock at the door. Logan had previously handed a pill to Roman and one to Patton and took another himself. Logan opened the door. Virgil furrowed his brow at the logical man. Logan blushed and looked away, clearly ashamed of his actions. Virgil reached out to comfort him but Logan noticed the black secretion on Virgil's fingertips. Logan grabbed Virgil's hand and pulled up the jacket sleeve. Virgil flinched but Logan stared at him with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"I-it's not too late to take the medication, it will work. I-I can fix this!" Logan explained, pulling out a bottle of pills. He passed it to Virgil and held up one finger. Virgil smiled and took a pill. Roman and Logan cuddled Virgil on the sofa while Patton made celebratory cookies. Virgil looked back at his hand. The black liquid had stopped smothering his fingers, the grey skin was visible. Virgil smiled and showed Logan. Logan kissed Virgil full on the lips and Roman made an offended noise (offended Princey noises, the person who says that knows who they are) when he looked at what had caused Virgil to jolt.

Patton decided not to bother the slightly heated kiss-up on the sofa, taking a few cookies and his leave with the plate still on the table.
