TW: Mentions and descriptions of anxiety tics.
A/N: All of the side's inner thoughts will be italicized to avoid confusion. If there's a scene where more than one character is thinking, I will specify.
Virgil closes the door to his room quietly. He slides down to the floor back against the door. Rubbing his face in his hands, he sighs, utterly exhausted.
He stands up and heads for his dresser, pulling out a pair of dark grey sweatpants and a Black Veil Brides hoodie.
He changes quickly and tosses his dirty clothes into the already overflowing hamper. Grabbing a book, Virgil flops onto his unmade bed.
He starts to read, when his head jerks to the side, his shoulders immediately tensing. He sucks in a breath, turning back to his book.
That was weird. He thinks and continues to read.
A few moments later the same thing occurs, but this time a clicking noise accompanies it.
Virgil sits up, closing his book. He couldn't focus. What was wrong with him? This had never happened before and that thought scared him.
He runs a hand through his messy, purple hair and lies back down. He closes his eyes "Maybe I'm just tired..." He says, thinking out loud.
Several minutes pass without any further disturbances.
Virgil's just beginning to relax when the palm of his hand hits his forehead without warning. He jolts up in his bed, wincing at the sudden pain.
What is going on? He thinks to himself, rubbing a hand over his forehead, feeling a headache already forming.
"STOP IT!" Virgil yells, the words forming without his consent. He slaps a hand over his mouth, wide-eyed from the sudden outburst.
"Virgil? Are you alright?" Logan asks from his room across the hall. Crap he must of heard me! "I- I'm fine." Virgil fibs, unsure of how to answer truthfully.
"Oh, alright," Logan says, turning his attention back to the computer in front of him.
Virgil sighs, Logan bought it, at least for now.
Virgil paces around his room, his thoughts racing, a jumble in his mind.
But two questions kept managing to emerge from the tangle of thoughts, What the hell is happening to him? And how was he going to hide it from the others?
