logan comforting virgil after a particularly bad anxiety attack

[sanders-sides-uncorrect-quotes]

what happened immediately after My NEGATIVE Thinking

[dukeyeatsdeodorant]

Logan: The correct amount of screaming you should be hearing in your head, at any given time, is zero.

Virgil, sweating:...Oh really? That's...not good.

[constellama]

[fixations-go-crazy]

friendly reminder that virgil canonically calls logan "L" 🥰🥰 

[loganslowdown4]

Virgil: I know a few words in Latin-

Logan: Which are-?

Virgil: Exorcizamus te, omnis, immundus spiritus et christo-

Logan: What about ‘hello’?

Virgil: I don’t know ‘hello’

Logan: You know how to exorcise a demon but you don’t know hello?

Sanders Sides as things me and my friends have said, PT. 30

Virgil, talking to Logan: Heads up. Moon is supposed to look banger tonight

Virgil: We can share the moon if we can't share hugs

[halfgood-halfbad-badboy]

Logan’s “I love you too” fueling my Analogical childhood friends propaganda ‼️‼️‼️ they would casually say “I love you” to each other and have everyone question if they’re a couple or not.

[pencilpat]

Thinking about the puppet episode and how freakin softly and gently Virgil tells Logan that it's ok to feel lost and scared, thinking about the episode in Patton's room with Logan & Virgil communicating purely with expressions to check on each other and convey distress, thinking about "Jeeze, L" and "pocket-protector" and "teach" and all the stupid nicknames Virgil gives him, thinking about Logan treating not just Virgil but all the dark sides like actual people (if not slightly inconvenient people) with valid opinions and thoughts to contribute instead of one dimensional cartoon villains, thinking about their debate so long ago and Logan genuinely complimenting his expression of his thoughts even though Virgil hissed at him and made yo mama jokes, thinking about Logan doing grounding exercises for Virgil & Thomas when they get really upset, thinking forever and ever about how close they've gotten to each other and the balance of Logic and Anxiety caring so much for each other

“you're just so literal i- i don't-” 😭😭.

[zeni1098]

Head Cannon: Virgil uses all of those fancy letters to type things (Æ, ç, ş, etc.) without knowing they make the word be pronounced differently, Logan does know this and thinks it's quite amusing

I can TOTALLY see this lol

I think Logan would consider telling Virgil but then just go “…nah”

And see how long it takes for Virgil so realize lol

*staring at you*

platonic analogical (/nf)

*does a magician trick and disappears

besties drinking coffee and listening to conspiracy theories podcasts together <3

Can’t sleep so here’s another headcanon

Virgil and Logan are both well-versed in chemistry, but only Virgil knows anything about brain chemistry.

There’s actually evidence to back this up!

Selfishness v. Selflessness

(19:47) Janus ask Virgil for insight for Thomas’ norepinephrine levels

Norepinephrine can cause depression if received too little, and anxiety if received too much

Can Plushies Improve Our Health?

(5:01) Virgil describes how petting an animal reduces the stress hormone Cortisol

Later in the video when Logan has his segment, he explains other impacts of plushies, but mainly mentions the physical benefits

What Makes The Perfect Gift?

(0:30) Virgil appears to be summoned unprompted and notes a sudden rush of adrenaline

Adrenaline can be brought on by both positive excitement and negative anxiety. Patton’s exclamation of Christmas joy was enough to summon Virge and he identified the adrenaline in the air immediately.

I like the idea of Logan being all over Thomas for abandoning all the chemistry he’s learned whilst Virgil actually held onto the information that applies to him and uses it to better identify his own stress symptoms.

[dukeyeatsdeodorant]

Logan: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.

Logan: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.

Virgil: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?

Logan: Ominous positivity.

Being Needed

Order up for @kieraelieson for the Sleepy Bean Fanfic Cafe' event on @tsspromptmonth who wanted, Canonverse Logan/Virgil. A soft hurt/comfort sick fic. Hope you enjoy!

Summary: Logan helps Virgil and Thomas... and maybe himself too

Characters: Logan, Virgil and Thomas

Relationships: platonic Analogical

Word count: 902

Trigger warnings: anxiety attack, low self esteem, sickness, food mention, let me know if I missed anything!

"Thomas? Are you listening?” Logan tried his best to keep his voice its usual neutral tone, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

Due to Thomas’ ADHD, Logan got used to him spacing out at times during their scheduling conversations. Today it seems to happen more frequently, though, so much so that Logan doubts he even listened from the beginning.

…Thomas still didn’t respond to his question, and when Logan looked at him closely he noticed that his eyes seemed unfocused. He raised his hand in front of Thomas’ face and snapped his fingers in hopes of shaking him back to reality.

It seemed to work as Thomas flinched and finally looked at Logan with a new focus. Frowning, Logan asked, “are you well, Thomas? Should I check on the others?”

“I ah…” Thomas struggled to speak, his breathing heavy for some reason, his forehead sweating a little, it almost looked like…

“Thomas, are you having an anxiety attack? I remember you researching signs of silent anxiety attacks, you seem to be showing most of those symptoms.” Logan said urgently, becoming more and more worried.

Thomas gripped his chest, right above his heart, and simply nodded “check… Virgil…” Thomas managed to say between labored breaths, closing his eyes and feeling the wall next to him with his hand, trying to ground himself.

As much as Logan didn’t want to leave Thomas like this, he knew he was right, Virgil was probably the core of this problem so the best way to help Thomas at the moment is to help Virgil.

Nodding, Logan sank down and sank up in the mindscape, heading straight to Virgil’s room and knocking on his door, loud enough to be heard but, hopefully, not too loud that it’ll startle him.

“Come in…” he heard a weak, hoarse voice calling from the inside, making his worries increase.

He closed the door behind him as he went in towards Virgil’s bed, seeing him crawled out in a ball on it, whimpering quietly.

“Virgil? What’s wrong?” He asked softly as he bent near the bed.

“I don’t know!” Virgil wailed, gripping his spider plushy tighter, “I just woke up today and… everything hurts Logan… I think I might be sick” he let out a cough as if to emphasize his statement.

“May I check your temperature?" He asked calmly, knowing how Virgil feels about physical touch at times.

Virgil nodded weakly and Logan gently placed his hand on his sweaty forehead. “As I suspected, your temperature is definitely higher than is recommended. You are indeed sick, which would explain Thomas’ state.”

Virgil turned to his side to look at Logan at that statement, “am I… hurting him again?” His voice is so weak and he sounds close to tears.

Logan shook his head, “no Virgil, anxiety would always be a struggle, that is something that no one, especially not you, can control. It would make sense that the worse you feel the stronger Thomas’ anxiety becomes, but that is something you can’t help. Best you can do is give yourself time to heal.”

Virgil still looked guilty but he nodded, “I’ll just rest today then… I don’t wanna bother you or the others, this’ll-” he sneezed, “pass” he finished.

Logan shook his head, reaching for a tissue box next to Virgil’s bed and handing him one. “It’ll pass quicker with help.” He pointed out, “and I would hope that, by now, you know that your needs, or anyone else’s, are not a bother.”

Virgil didn’t respond, simply blew his nose and threw the tissue in the bin beside his bed. But he didn’t object to Logan helping either.

Logan got up, “I’m going to make you breakfast and tea as I’m assuming you haven’t eaten today yet.”

Virgil shook his head, “just tea… not hungry.”

“Hungry or not, your body needs energy in order to heal properly, I’ll return shortly.”

Virgil grumbled but didn't protest farther, so Logan left to do as he said.

As the food was cooking, Logan sank up to check on Thomas, finding him on the couch, doom scrolling on his phone.

“Thomas?” He asked gently, though the question still startled Thomas as he jumped, almost dropping his phone.

“Oh… Logan… How's Virgil?” He asked when he calmed down a little.

“He appeared to be sick, I’m helping him recover, distraction is not a bad coping mechanism but please do try some grounding and breathing exercises as well.” He was about to sink back to the mindscape when Thomas grabbed his arm.

“Thank you…” he smiled weakly at him.

“Oh um… of course, Thomas, it’s my job to make sure you are functioning properly.” Logan quickly recovered from his intial surprise.

“I know, I appreciate that.” Thomas squeezed Logan’s arm with another smile, looking relieved, then let go and closed his eyes, breathing in and out slowly.

As Logan rose back up in the mindscape and finished preparing Virgil’s food and tea, he felt an unfamiliar warmth spread through his chest.

That same warmth increased when Virgil thanked him for the food and… for being there for him, shaking his head fondly after Logan pointed out it was part of his job.

It felt… good to be needed again, he didn’t realize just how much he missed that feeling. As he watched Virgil eat, he allowed himself a tiny, genuine, smile. He can still be useful after all…

Logan: I am *looks at vocab card* awake.

Virgil: ...

Virgil: Do you mean woke?

Logan: I did mean woke. BUT IT’S GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT!!
