A Little Secret (Moxiety)

12

Virgil

I hang off the edge of my bed, making sure to keep my phone to my ear. "V, it's so obvious. Everybody other than you and Patton can tell. And I'm certain that he feels the same." I sigh, rolling my eyes even though he can't see me.

"Sorry to disappoint, but I don't see myself telling him anytime soon." I can feel the blood rushing to my head already, oh jeez.

"Well why don't you ask Logan for help? Or Roman?"

I almost laugh out loud at that. "You've met Roman. He would probably make a big deal out of it and can't keep a secret to save his life. If I told him, he would probably tell the entire neighborhood about my feelings."

"True. But you should tell him at some point." I sit up, my head hurting from being upside-down. I don't think that I could bring myself to tell Patton. I love him, but I don't want to ruin the friendship we have

"I'll tell him I have feelings for him when pigs start flying."

"I'll personally put a jet pack on a pig just to get you to confess." He is not giving up on this.

Patton

I go to knock on Virgil's door, but stop when I hear that he's talking to somebody. It shouldn't matter to me, but the first thing I hear is "You've met Roman. He would probably make a big deal out of it and can't keep a secret to save his life. If I told him, he would probably tell the entire neighborhood about my feelings."

Okay.. this could just be one of those things that sound different out of context. Yeah. It quiet for a moment until he says "I'll tell him I have feelings for him when pigs start flying." to whoever he's talking to.

I can feel my heart break. He-... He likes Roman. I bite my lip and knock on his door. He tells the person he's talking to hold on before yelling 'yes?' as a response to me. "Dinner is ready, kiddo."

"Okay, be down in a minute, Pat." I mutter an 'okay' then walk away.

Apparently I'm not hiding how upset I am very well, because the first thing that Roman does when he sees me is ask if I'm okay. "Of course, kiddo." I smile too, to show that I'm fine.

Virgil

"Okay, look, I'll... I'll tell him later. I have to go right now though." After we both say 'bye', I hang up on T.

Gah, what have I gotten myself into.

I take a deep breath, but I stop before I can even go to knock on Patton's door. Do I really want to confess now? I mean, he's still trying to process my regression. I can't dump another confession on top of this right now, especially this one.

No, if I don't do it now then I might not get this far again. Besides, I told T that I would tell Patton.

Wait- is he talking to someone? I step closer, listening to what's going on. I feel bad for eavesdropping, but I'm curious.

"I don't know what to do... He would. He won't admit it, but he's too nice to let me feel bad for something like this... He likes Roman though, I can't tell him. I'd tell him, but I know what's gonna happen."

I step back, feeling my heart drop into my stomach. There's only one person we know that likes Roman. Logan.

I get to my room quickly, closing the door behind me before flopping onto my bed. He likes Logan. How could I be stupid enough to think that there was even a chance that he would return my feelings?
