Remus sat next to Virgil, who looked up, chest heaving.

"Name five things you can see." Remus demanded and Virgil, in no place to argue, complied.

He looked around, he yes frantic, "uh, b-books, a d-desk... the clock, a ch-chair, uh... you."

"Good, now, four things you can touch." Remus said.

"Uh... the c-carpet, the railing, my j-jacket..." He suddenly held Remus hand, "y-you."

"Three things you can hear."

He strained his hearing, "the c-clock, qu-quiet tapping f-from the others, y-you're breathing."

"Two things you can smell."

"O-old books..." He sniffed, coming closer to Remus, "your pickled c-cologne..."

"One thing you can taste."

Virgil licked his lips for something, anything, yet there was nothing and Remus could see the panic coming back and shoved some rice in his mouth.

Chewing, Virgil's eyes widened, "u-uh... rice..." He said once he finished.

Remus nodded, "good."

They stayed silent for a moment before Virgil spoke up, "I don't want, nor need your sympathy."

"Well it's a good thing I'm not here for that." Remus said, then they fell silent again, until there was a growl.

Virgil covered his stomach, god he was hungry and Remus could tell and handed over the rice, "just some plain flavour rice. No raw fish."

Virgil stayed and hesitantly took it, a small smile on his face, "thank you..."

"You're welcome Virgil." Remus smiled, softly.

Virgil slowly ate the rice, failing at the chopsticks and so resorted to picking it up and eating, making Remus chuckle softly.

"Why was you ignoring me before?" Virgil asked.

Remus sighed, "you was intimidating my brother. Yes, he's an ass, but only I can act that way to him. Not you." He said, sternly, "and I'm not letting him get away with how he treated you."

"Don't worry about me." Virgil assured, shoving more rice in his mouth, "I'm sorry I upset you. I'll say sorry to him-"

"Only after you two are no longer fighting... Then you can mean it too." Remus said, resting his head against the railing and giving Virgil a soft, lovesick look.

Virgil nodded, his chest doing flips, "alright..."

"Next time you're hungry Virgil, just ask me instead of flirting with me." Remus said, almost begging.

Virgil stared at Remus then nodded, "I will. I promise, Remus."

Remus looked down, as Virgil ate, both of them in comfortable silence, listening as they heard Patton talking to Logan.

"So, what you here for?" Patton asked, eating the cookies now.

Logan glanced at him, not willing to respond to that and asked, "what are you here for?"

Patton rested his elbow on the table and looked down, uneasy. He could tell the truth.... But, it was really bad and felt all kinds of shame for it.

"Um, I'm here today..." In that minute he lied, "because uh, because my coach and my father don't want me to blow my ride. See I get treated differently because uh," he thought, "Coach thinks I'm a winner. So does my old man. I'm not a winner because I wanna be one... I'm a winner because I got strength and speed. Kinda like a race horse. That's about how involved I am in what's happening to me."

Logan raised an eyebrow, "falsehood." He said, calmly. He didn't want to draw attention to himself.

"What?"

"I'm calling you out on a lie. Why don't you tell me why you're here, really?"

Patton looked down, "forget it." He mumbled.

Logan ate his sandwich quietly and looked to Patton, "so? You like dogs?"

"Yeah," Patton smiled, "and cats, but I'm allergic to cats."

Logan nodded, feeling calm around Patton, calm enough to be himself and go back to being the supposed emotionless robot.

"What do you like?" Patton asked.

Logan thought, "stars, books, those kind of activities... I know it just adds to the fact I'm a nerd but-"

"That's not a bad thing. You get amazing grades, and I won't lie, stars sound interesting." Patton offered with a small smile, making Logan flush and smile.

Virgil handed the box back to Remus, wiped his hand on his pants and held out his hand for Remus, "come on."

Remus took his hand confused, "where are we going?"

He dragged Remus downstairs and Patton looked up, "you kiddos ok?"

"Fine Sporto!" Virgil responded with no malice in his voice.

"Virgil where-"

"We're going on an adventure, my friend!"
