Useless....
TW:Self deprecating language, pain, arguing (The last two aren't really that bad just I didn't know what to put for a part of it which I thought could be kind of sketchy with TW)
They all sat there none saying a word. Virgil clutching his knees to his chest and looking down. Thomas with his arm looped through one of Virgil's and with the other picking at the grass. An Logan was quietly observing the situation trying to figure out what to say.
Thomas broke the silence: Virgil.
Virgil: hm?
Thomas: Stop
Virgil: Stop what?
Thomas: I know what you're doing.
Virgil: i'm not doing anything
Thomas: except filtering through all of my worries and thoughts..
Virgil: anything but that...
Thomas pretended to be wrapping a long piece of grass around his finger when he was actually beginning to concentrate on one of the things Virgil always said about himself.Useless. He then reached over and grabbed Virgil's hand. Virgil tensed but didn't move. His hand was covered by his jacket so Thomas wasn't touching him yet. He curled his jacket tighter around his hands desperate to cover any showing piece of skin that could trigger the transfer.
Thomas: Virgil.
Virgil: Yes, Thomas.
Thomas: Give me your hand
Virgil: nope
Thomas: Please
Virgil: nope
Thomas then used his one arm that was looped through Virgil's to grab hold of his arm to keep him from moving away.
Virgil: Thomas..
Thomas: give me your hand.
Logan observed the two intensely and making mental notes of everything that was happening for further study
Virgil pulled his knees tighter to his chest but as he was doing so lost grip on the fabric of his jacket which fell down giving Thomas the time to use his un-looped hand to grab Virgil's bare hand. Instantly they both began to feel heat from their connected hands as the transfer went through them. Thomas saw images flash before his eyes as they transferred from Virgil to him. Spikes of pain were sent running up both of their arms causing them both to tense and shudder. After maybe 5 seconds of this Vigil started squirming, he was hurting Thomas and himself by letting Thomas begin the transfer and he should have never agreed to sit down with them anyways. he used his other hand to start trying to push Thomas off but Thomas only tightened his grip on Virgil's hand. Virgil grew paler as the transfer continued as did his struggle. Virgil tried to squirm his hand away which caused even worse shocks of pain through his arm. The transfer had lasted for maybe 20 seconds but it felt like 20 minutes as Virgil struggled to get free but Thomas remained resolute to hold onto his hand.
Virgil finally managed to utter a few words: Thomas.. let go... please I d-don't want this to hurt you there is t-too much wrong with m-me to save me but I can save you.
Thomas's heart broke into tiny pieces as he heard Virgil's voice crack and shake. He gave Virgil's hand a gentle squeeze but still kept his grip firm so that Virgil wouldn't gain the upper-hand.
Thomas: I'm not letting go and no one is to far gone.
Virgil had tears glistening in his eyes from the pain and sadness being shot through his arm. Vigil looked Logan straight in the eye begging him to tell Thomas to let go but Logan only shook his head gave a small smile of encouragement. That's when Virgil decided he would have to surprise Thomas somehow. His first thought was to tackle him with a hug then after that make a brake for it but his second thought was to scream so loud that people outside the forest would hear it.
So that's what he did Virgil opened his mouth and let out a bloodcurdling, hair raising, water boiling, glass shattering scream.Thomas thinking the transfer was really hurting Virgil immediately let go of Virgil's hand. Virgil scooted away a couple of feet from Thomas and Thomas stared at him blankly. After Thomas had let go Virgil immediately stopped screaming and his face went blank.
After a few moments of silence as both of them held their pained arms and hand..
Thomas said with a concerned voice: Are you okay Virgil.
Virgil opened his mouth then closed it then said: I guess so..
Thomas: What made you scream so loudly?
Virgil: nothing actually
Thomas: oh
Virgil: But although the scream was fake that doesn't mean our now hurting arms were too.
Thomas: Ya it did hurt a lot worse than I thought it would. Especially for only one thought...
Virgil: Wait. What?
Thomas: I was only focusing on the word useless as you seem to think that a lot.
Virgil: Ya but if that was just one thought than doing a complete transfer is actually going to kill us.
Logan: It may make you unconscious for a while but it doesn't have any lasting physical effects.
Virgil: Wouldn't matter anyways because it's not happening again.
Thomas: So you'll be willing divide up the thoughts?
Virgil: no
Logan and Thomas both sighed as they heard this but they had already known the possibility of Virgil doing this willingly was slim.
Thomas: You aren't going to run again are you?
Virgil: I thought about it but
Logan: it would only prolong the inevitable.
Virgil: Exactly
Thomas: So are we going to talk it out again or just sit here and pick at grass for a couple of days?
Virgil: I guess that'd be up to me right...
Logan: In most ways yes
Virgil: great
Thomas: The enthusiasm in that was superb
Virgil: don't say superb
Thomas: why not?
Virgil: It makes you sound like a 50 year old professor trying to be cool
Thomas reached out his hand
Thomas: mind to expand on that
Virgil: rather not as you know I'm not a very contacty person
Thomas: I know
There was long silence after that. During which Thomas pulled out his phone and texted Logan telling him to turn off his notification sound.
Private Chat
Thomas: What now?
Logan: That is for you and Virgil to decide.
Thomas: I don't think we can agree on this one
Logan: Me neither
Thomas: SOoooooo what do i do
Logan: Well seeing as how that one thought transfer went and it wasn't even completed. Virgil was almost shaking and could barely talk after it and it didn't even get completed so.
Thomas:?
Logan: If you were to start a complete transfer then I'm calculating that Virgil will be unconscious within 5-10 seconds of it. But for you it will be painful and you may pass out somewhere halfway through or not at all.
Thomas: So we're doing this
Logan: It looks like it but you will have to get closer to Virgil somehow.
Thomas:...
Thomas: OH!
Logan; ?
Thomas: You can bring up how he looks to be burning up and really needs to take medicine for it then you can pass it to me and as I hand it to him I can grab onto his hand.
Logan: Alright let's do it then.
