Things Left Unspoken (SandersSidesAU)

Chapter Twenty-Four

Roman
About five minutes after Virgil fell asleep, Patton came into the room again. He looked around confused that he didn't see Roman or Virgil on the couch. He turned and saw Roman looking at him with a finger to his lips. Patton then entered the room and closed the door.

"Wow, he let you sit on his bed and he fell asleep with you on the bed. He hasn't even let Logan near the bed." Patton said quietly, while rolling Virgil's desk chair over to the bed. Roman shrugged.

"He was freaking out and I figured the couch would not be the best place to just sit with him. Especially since he wouldn't let me even one inch away from him once he latched on." He responded at the same volume.

"Really? That's not like him at all." Patton said.

"I figured that much when everyone gasped during auditions." Roman said while still playing with Virgil's hair. "I fully expect to get the third degree from him when he wakes up."

"Did he black out?" Patton asked.

"No, he fell asleep after I sang to him."

Patton chuckled. "He does like that, did he tell you anything about why he panicked?" Patton coxed his head to the side.

"No, he just got worse when I moved him off my waist until I physically moved him. I just hope he doesn't feel too embarrassed when he wakes up, he did ask for me which is weird. I am not exactly his best friend, there are others who he has known for longer that could be of help." Roman said. Patton moved the blanket so it covered Virgil more.

"It makes sense to me." Patton said.

"What do you mean?" Roman asked.

"Simple, Virgil doesn't allow a lot of people into his life and from the looks of it neither do you. You opened up to him, he repayed that." Patton seemed uncomfortable.

"Is that the only reason?" Roman pushed. Patton chuckled and shrugged. Virgil started to shift a little bit. "How long does he usually sleep after a panic attack?" Roman asked.

"Depends on how long he was panicking for, it can be ten minutes to two hours. I hope he wakes up soon though, he needs to sleep tonight." Patton said.

Roman shrugged. "I would stay up with him if he needed." He looked down at the sleeping boy who was attached to his waist and not letting go. Patton looked between the two of them and nodded. "I'll come down for dinner and grab him something and eat in here with him if he's not awake." Roman said.

"I hope it won't come to that." Patton said.

"Patton, the bell will ring in an hour. He needs to sleep this off, I'll take care of him I promise. I am an older brother, I'll call you if he wakes up or anything." Roman said and smiled at Virgil. Patton nodded and asked if he wanted his bag, Roman said yes. Patton brought it into the room and put it near the bathroom door.

Roman waited until he was sure that Virgil would be okay for a little bit to  get up and change into other clothes and opened some work. He did most of it while he waited for the dinner bell. When he heard it, he took Virgil's notepad and wrote him a note just in case he woke up while he was getting dinner for himself and Virgil.

Roman skipped down the stairs and weaved through people. He got into line and waited, next to him Janus appeared. Roman glanced over at him. "Hello."

"Hello yourself. I heard Virgil asked for you during a panic attack. What was that about?" Janus asked. People started to murmur. Roman ignored them and had learned to stop caring how much people talked at this school, teenagers fed off of drama.
