Its funny how the smallest thing can cause a group of people to become friends. And a group with seemingly nothing in common except crofters. Yes, that's what brought these strange individuals together. Crofters jam. All of them happening to be around the same age as well. The nerd who was the oldest out of all of them, being almost 18. The dad friend who was also 17 but his birthday a few more months then the nerd's. The gay hopeless romantic who was 16. And the emo one who was also 16 but a few months younger, being the youngest in the group. You probably know each of their names based on their short descriptions which shows either how observant or SS trash you are.

They all met over their strange love of crofters a little less then a year ago. They all became pretty close friends despite never seeing each other in real life and this would be the first day that they get to video call each other.

Crofters Hoes

Dad!: Hey kiddos!

Princey: Hey Pat!

HotTopic: sup

Nerrrrrd: 'sup', for your information, is not a word. And who changed my name? How do I change it back?

Princey: Wait, I thought you were the smart one, yet you don't even know how to change a username?

Nerrrrrd: well I guess I never thought that it would be useful information until now! So I would much appreciate it if you would change it back, Roman!

Princey: Jeez, okay, fine, goddamn!

Logan: thank you.

Princey: you're kindly welcome!

Dad!: well how are y'all doing today?!

Logan: I am adequate, thank you for asking, Patton.

Princey: I'm doing amazing as always! What about you, Patton?

HotTopic: dead inside, as always.

Dad!: well I'm doing fan-flipping-tastic!

Dad!: Virgil noooooo!

Princey: well, I had an idea of something we could all do together...

Dad!: oooo what is it?! Tell me!!!

HotTopic: oh please don't tell me your still on this again..

Logan: you're**

HotTopic: that's the one thing you corrected out of all our spelling and grammar mistakes?

Logan: You all type too fast and make too many mistakes, I can't keep up with all of them.

Dad!: you guys shoosh! I wanna hear what the idea is!

Princey: VIDEO CHAT!

Dad!: OMG YAS YAS YAS!

Logan: omg? Hold on let me get my flashcards...

HotTopic: no. For the last time, no.

Dad!: awh, come on, why not, Virge?

Princey: party pooper.. Every time...

HotTopic: I only just told you guys my name last month and you expect me to reveal my voice and face all in one sitting?! No way. I'm out.

Dad!: awh, okay, Virge, if you really don't want to do it then you don't have to do it. But I hope one day I'll be able to hear and see what my dark strange son sounds and looks like!

HotTopic: thanks pat... That's why you're my favorite.

Princey: oh come on! We all wanna hear and see you! Just because he respects your boundaries he becomes the favorite?!

HotTopic: yes.. yes he does.

Logan: OH MY GOD!

HotTopic: What?!

Dad!: what's wrong Lo?!

Princey: what's wrong?!

Logan: nothing, I was just repeating what Patton's O M G stood for.

Princey: ...

HotTopic: really?

Dad!: good job, Logan! Virtual high five!

Logan: ???

Dad!: never mind, I'll just pretend to high five you in my head!

Princey: creative!

Princey: but, seriously, even if Virgil doesn't want to participate, we should still video call each other!

Dad!: YAS! Is that okay with you Virgil?

HotTopic: yea..

Logan: yeah**

Dad!: do you want to join us, Logan?

Logan: I don't see why not.

Princey: all right, let's do this!

Roman hit the video chat button, sending everyone a request to join, in which everyone, including Virgil, did. There were now 4 squares. One showed Roman who was wearing a white shirt with red words saying 'king of sass' with some light blue jeans. The other showed Patton who was wearing a light blue polo with a light grey cardigan tied around his neck and glasses. The third was a little harder to see as Logan was having difficulties with the camera until his friend that was there helped him with it, revealing him wearing a normal black shirt with glasses and black pants. The last one was a black screen and the speaker icon on the top of the box had an X next to it signalling that Virgil's camera and microphone were off.

"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" Patton freaked out sounding like an overly obsessed fangirl.

"Patton, calm down!" Roman smiled at how excited his friend was, he was excited too. Just maybe not that much.

"Hello fellow humans!" Logan said in a monotone voice, "this is also my friend, Joan." He introduced.

"Hi, Joan!" Roman and Patton said at the same time, Patton a little more enthusiastically.

"Hi! Oh, by the way, I'm nonebinary!" They added.

"Oh my goodness, my friend Talyn is with me and they're nonebinary too!" Patton replied, as he did so, Talyn peeped their head into frame, waving quickly before going back to whatever they were doing.

"That's cool, well hi new nonebinary pals! Also, I thought Virgil didn't want to join us?" Said Roman.

As if on cue, a message to the group sent by Virgil saying 'I'm just listening and watching but the microphone will not unmute and the camera will not go on.'

Roman frowned in disappointment, Logan nodded his head thoughtfully after reading it and Patton smiled saying, "that's okay, kiddo!"

They talked and laughed for a few minutes. Patton making a lot of dad jokes making Logan confused by most of them and Roman die of laughter by the mixture of Pats bad jokes and Logans facial expressions of confusion. Logan tried to explain to Patton how some of them didn't make sense but only got cut off by another one.

"Roman, what are you doing in there?! It sounds like an orgy!" They all heard someone yell from Romans mic, "can I join?!"

"NO YOU CANT JOIN US!" Roman yelled.

"Oh, so you are having an orgy??"

"What??! No!"

The door burst open and Remus came in but they couldn't see him though he shoved his face very close in the camera for a second before Roman pushed him away.

"Ooo, hello people!! Are these those internet friends you always talk about because you have no real friends??" Remus asked with a shit eating grin that only Roman could see.

"Shut up, you don't have any real friends either except Decept or whatever the fuck his name is!"

"Yeah, but least he's real!"

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"

"Fine, its too bright in here anyway!" Remus shrugged, walking out of the room.

They all got a text from Virgil saying 'mood' making Roman roll his eyes with a small side smile and Patton to giggle which made Logan blush a bit.

Patton didn't seem to see the blush as it quickly was replaced with his neutral expression but Roman and Virgil noticed and smirked at it- not that they could actually see Virgil.

They continued to talk to each other, discussing interests and funny stories.

Virgil's POV

I contemplated whether I should unmute myself as I fiddled with the cuffs of my sleeves. Smiling at the funny stories that they were telling each other. Mostly looking at Roman.

Damn, he's pretty hot..

"Damn, why don't you just date him then?" Deceit teased, knowing full well that I didn't mean to say that out loud.

"Sh-shut up!" I stuttered, blushing, "and we've never even met before... He could live all the way across the world for all I know!"

"Pfft, he lives on the other side of town!" Deceit laughed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?! How would you know?" I asked, surprised.

"Dude, I'm practically his neighbor and his brother is my best friend!"

"I thought I was your best friend!"

"You're my second best friend." He patted the top of my head as if I were his child as I crossed my arms.

"Wait, so that means.. I COULD ACTUALLY MEET HIM?!" My eyes went wide with excitement, then turned suspicious, "wait, this isn't one of your lies again is it?"

"Virgil! How could you think so little of me?" He asked dramatically.

I continued to glare at him.

"I'm not lying this time, jeez kid, calm down!" Deceit put his hands up in surrender.

My eyes turned anxious.

"Wait, what if I meet him?! I'll recognize him but he won't recognize me and then I'll look like a creep?! Or what if he thinks I'm ugly?! Or I do something really awkward or embarrassing in front of him and it ruins my life and he tells the others and they all end up hating me and I'll have no friends again because his brother will tell you not to hang out with me anymore and I'll be all alone-"

"VIRGIL!" Deceit snapped, making me shut up, "why don't you just start with unmuting yourself and turning on the camera?"

"B-but-"

"No buts!"

Deceit pushed me out of the way making me fall off the bed.

Ow... What is he doing???

Third person POV

Logan was in the middle of explaining the importance of grammar or something when Virgil's camera and microphone turned on.

"Virgil?!" Roman and Patton cut Logan off.

At first Logan looked angry but became curious as he realised what the other two interrupted him for. Even Talyn came out of hiding to see who the angsty teenage boy, that Patton talked so much about, looked like.

They were met, oddly enough, with Deceit, though they didn't know it at the time.

"No, I'm not Virgil." Deceit said.

"Hey, you look familiar..." Roman said.

"Yes, I'm your brothers friend, Decept, I believe you called me." Deceit replied slyly, "anyway, who wants to meet Virgil?!"

"MEEEEE!" Patton screeched as Talyn held their ear.

"That would be interesting if he is so comfortable doing so." Logan replied, monotone.

"I would love to see thy angsty boii!" Roman replied, smiling (not as much as Patton though).

"Deceit, what are you doing?! You can't just show me, I don't even look presentable and I never agreed to-"

"Too late, you're doing it!"

And with that Deceit flipped the camera and showed Virgil who tried to hide his face like 5 seconds after it was shown.

"OMG MY EMO SON IS ADORABLE!" Patton basically fangirled.

"I can now see why." Was all Talyn said.

"I do not believe that he was comfortable doing that but the reveal was..." Logan searched through his flash cards, "lit fahm?" He questioned, looking at Joan who just facepalmed.

Roman was just speechless. Thoughts running through his head, ones that he would usually just blurt out, but, for once, he was speechless.

Virgil slowly put his hands down from his face revealing a red flustered mess.

"H-hi.. I guess.." He said shyly.

Romans face went red with a blush and he fell off his bed with a loud thump.

"Roman, are you okay?" Remus asked, opening his door and looking at the blushing mess on the floor.

"I think I'm in love!" He screamed into his hands, making it muffled so the others couldn't hear.

Remus smirked, walking over to the camera to look at all of them. His eyes came over Virgil and he instantly knew who his brother was fangirling about.

"Oh my, you got it hard." He replied with a smirk.

The others looked confused but continued to listen nonetheless.

"Mhm.." Roman nodded, once again his voice muffled by his hands.

"Hey Remus." Deceit greeted, flipping the camera to himself for a second so that Remus could see him.

"Oh, hey Dee! What're you doing in there?! Oh wait.. Is he that Virgil kid you told me about?!" Remus asked his friend.

"Yep, he just ran away though." Deceit replied.

Virgil had, indeed, just ran out of the room. To do what, Deceit had no clue.

"Don't tell the others but I think they got it hard." Remus whispered into the camera as if the others couldn't hear their conversation when they whispered.

"Oh yeah, they definitely got it hard." Deceit agreed.

"Got what hard?!" Patton chirped up in confusion.

"Well usually when a person refers to something as hard that mean that it is a tough material or close to unbreakable but in this case I believe it may mean that when they saw each other their brain went somewhere else and their di-"

"THAT IS NOT WHAT WE MEAN!" Deceit cut Logan off.

"I don't know, I kinda wanted to hear what he had to say. And why'd Virgil run off in the first place, huh~?" Remus asked slyly.

"I just went to fix myself up properly so I don't look like- well, a little less like shit." Virgil said when he walked in.

His makeup had been done up some more and he had run a brush through his hair, which honestly didn't help it much since it was naturally messy. He had also put his sweater on for only reasons that Deceit knew.

"Oh wow, you look like a completely different person." Dee said sarcastically.

"I don't know he looks the same to me!" Patton replied, oblivious to sarcasm.

"Hey Roman, why don't you get off the ground and make a date with your boyfriend since you both live in the same town." Remus called to his brother who was still laying on the ground.

Roman and Virgil's faces became red again as they both yelled "shut up he's not my boyfriend!" At the same time.

"I don't know it kinda sounds like you guys are meant to be." Dee whispered to Virgil.

"Wait, Virgil, you live in the same town as me?!" Roman questioned, causing everyone to sigh at his stupidity.

"Roman, catch up here. Best friend. Same town." Remus dumbed it down for him, pointing at the camera then at himself.

"Ooooohhhh.." Roman said in understanding.

Roman and Virgil ended up planning a day to meet each other and finally got together a year later. All of them ended up going to the same college and moving in with each other. Graduating college a few years later and going their separate ways. Except Roman and Virgil, Logan and Patton and Remus and Deceit.

That was a bit of a lazy ending but it was already getting too long and I started this days ago. Plus I wanna work more on my actual sanders sides story (I really wanna change the name but I have no idea what to right now) while not letting this one die.
