Something Worth Stealing: Five
“What do you think?”
Truthfully Virgil was terrified at the very prospect. There was a reason each nanny didn’t last long, and Virgil had heard enough horror stories about the Ackroyd boys to avoid them at all costs when he had worked in the past. Hell the only reason he still got some to come in now and then was because the job was so high paying. Mr. Ackroyd knew exactly what he was doing advertising with all those zeroes, he was reeling in any nanny who would skip talking to peers at the sight. And now by some twist of fate that very bait was dangling above Virgil, and even worse there wasn’t anyway he could feasibly afford to ignore it. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked the man in the eye, “I think it is more than a generous offer that I would be happy to accept.”
(Virgil becomes the newest nanny for his very attracti- for Logan.)

Five
Virgil was burning up. He wasn’t sick or anything, but the nerves surrounding this date had every nerve on fire to the point he was surprised he hadn’t melted into a puddle. Was it possible to get heat stroke while blasting AC in a car? If not, he’d likely be the first victim of such insanity. There was just too much riding on tonight. Sure, romance was on the line- but more than that, his job was on the line, and so were his relationships with Logan’s sons. 
Because what if he did something so horribly stupid tonight that left Logan’s fancy suit covered in fancy dinner? Surely, he’d be fired on the spot. And just like that, no job. No money. He wouldn’t see the twins or Patton. Janus would lose some friends. Janus would never get his own room. He’d-
“Are you okay?”
The deafening silence that was swirling around Virgil began to splinter at the sound of his nephew’s voice. Glancing in the rearview, he could see that Janus had looked up from the book he had been reading- was it too dark to be reading that now? The sun was beginning to set, so he shouldn't be straining his eyes. Virgil opened his mouth to tell his nephew so when he saw Janus frown, “So you’re not okay.”
“No-no! I’m fine. I’m fine! I was just going to say you should stop reading for now. But I’m fine!”
“You said that three times.”
“Because it’s three times the truth.”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“Well, yes, um… it doesn’t matter. I'm fine, Janus.”
“No, you’re not. Are you worried about your date?”
“A- a little- just the tiniest bit. It’s been a while since I was even on a date.”
“Was that with the guy who cheated on you?”
“W-what? What?” Virgil sputtered. 
“When I talked to Mom this morning, I told her you were going on a date. And then she said that the last guy was really mean, and he cheated on you, and he made you cry. So she said it’s now my job to watch out for you ‘cause sometimes you have bad taste like she does. But Mr. Logan is nice, so I don’t think you need to be nervous.”
Virgil gave a long and heavy sigh before he couldn’t help but smile, “Well, I’m always grateful to have you on my side, Jan… But what else did your mom say about me? Or my past boyfriends?”
“Nothing really,” Janus shrugged (to Virgil’s relief). “Just that you should take her advice more.”
Virgil gave a frown and mumbled to himself, “Did she tell you she’s a hypocrite too?” 
“What’s that mean?” 
Apparently, Janus had good hearing. Good to know. “I’ll tell you later,” Virgil said, pulling into Logan’s driveway. “For now, let’s head inside.”
Inside the home, Virgil found Logan in the family room talking with three other staff members, likely talking about watching the children for the evening… Virgil wished them luck. Upon realizing their arrival, Logan turned to grave Virgil with a small, slight, barely there smile, which somehow made Virgil’s knees feel like goo. He was dressed nicely (as always)- Logan’s attention snapped back to the few he was speaking to, and hushed voices were heard as they crowded Logan before they abruptly shoved Logan in Virgil’s direction. 
Virgil was about to comment on it, when he noticed that in the second he had turned around Logan’s perfect hairstyle had been messed up the tiniest amount in what was clearly an intentional way. Perhaps those three weren’t discussing babysitting at all, had he asked them for advice? The mental image was one Virgil couldn’t help but smile at. 
“You look nice,” Logan said with a nod. 
“You as well, I-”
“Mr. Logan?” Janus interrupted. 
“What can I do for you, Janus?” Logan asked, redirecting his attention. “If you’re looking for my boys, they’re in Roman’s room.”
“Okay! But first, what’s ‘hypocrite’ mean?”
Virgil gave a heavy sigh as Logan answered the question. “A person who says one thing then does another. Like if I told you to eat your vegetables but I never do. Does that make sense?”
Janus pondered for a moment or two before he nodded and turned to Virgil, “Then my mom’s one for not listening to you but wanting you to listen to her?”
“…She listens sometimes.”
“No, she doesn’t. I’m gonna go upstairs to play. Have fun!”
When his nephew disappeared, Logan let out a slight chuckle, “It sounds like you two are having quite… intellectual conversations.”
Virgil’s huff in reply only made Logan’s smile widen, so he turned away. “Let’s not miss our reservation.”
Dinner did not go as planned. 
Despite arriving at their reservation early- their table had apparently been given away which led to waiting. And upon finally being seated their waiter took the drink and appetizer orders and then promptly ignored their existence. The drinks had eventually found a way to them, but as time passed Virgil had the sneaking feeling that the appetizers would never come. This was only proven correct as the waiter vanished from the floor entirely, and according to the whispers of employees in the dining room- he had left the building entirely. Virgil couldn’t help but want to be a tad nosier, but he caught Logan’s amused gaze. 
“Any more info?” 
Virgil shook his head as he sipped at his near-empty water, “Nothing I can hear from here. But sorry, I forgot what I was saying.”
“I don’t recall myself,” Logan admitted. “I was staring at the couple behind you who received their meal. We have been here far longer than they have.”
“Does the food look good, at least?”
“As hungry as I am, everything does. I neglected to eat lunch today.”
“What? Why?”
“I was distracted by the boys and pulled in different directions. I had to make some calls, and then I had a meeting over Zoom. Ultimately, I didn’t even realize I had missed a meal until I began to get ready. So I simply ate an apple to tide myself over until dinner.”
“That’s not like you at all.”
“I agree. But I digress; how was your day off with Janus?”
“Good, good. I had told him to pick what we would do today, so we ended up at one of those pottery places where kids can paint the pieces. He was very meticulous over a few pieces of dish ware. He wanted a perfect matching set.”
“That’s adorable,” Logan smiled. “I’ve wanted to take my boys to do that, but I have a feeling that Remus would break far more than he’d paint. But he also wouldn’t take kindly to me just taking Roman even if I took him elsewhere.”
“Yeah, I can see that.”
“What did you paint?”
“I chose a shark piggy bank because… because it was there? Anyway, I made it purple with different colored polka dots because it annoyed Janus.”
“Brilliant reasoning.”
“I think so.”
“You-”
Logan’s words and Virgil’s train of thought flew off the tracks at that moment as a server walked by, holding a tray of dishes that looked beautiful but also smelled divine. 
“As good as that looks, I regret not choosing a place I am familiar with,” Logan frowned. Apologies.”
“Don’t apologize; you had heard good things about it. It seems like this is an off day. And I appreciate the thought process that we could try something new together.”
“Why do I sense a but coming?”
“However,” Virgil started because it was a different word than ‘but.’ “It is clear we are both starving, and it’s also clear that our food will never get here considering we still have menus. So, would it be such a bad idea to go elsewhere? I know a hole-in-the-wall a few blocks away with the best tacos I’ve ever had.”
Logan didn’t speak for the longest moment. Rather, his piercing eyes stared into Virgil’s as he folded his hands and sat up straighter in his seat. And in that moment Virgil couldn’t stop the strike of fear that shot through him as he wondered if he had accidentally insulted his date- if he had offended his boss. Logan had put in all this effort for tonight and yet, Virgil just wanted to throw it away. He opened his mouth to quickly amend his statement, but Logan spoke first. 
“Couldn't you have said that ages ago? Do they have quesadillas?”
Virgil gave a slight sigh of relief, “Real good ones.”
“No point in bothering for the check, it’ll take forever. I’ll leave more than enough cash for the drinks. Lead the way.”
The food was wonderful, and with it in their stomachs, conversation flowed easily. It was almost scary how easily Virgil forgot he worked for Logan. Right now, they weren’t boss and employee; they were just two (severely overdressed) guys on a date, and that was perfect. There was something alluring about just watching Logan be Logan. Just in the way he spoke and expressed himself as if trying to remain reserved but in the same way allowing Virgil to see his true expressions underneath. Virgil had always known how nice it was to listen to Logan speak of his children, but it was just as nice to hear him speak about his life and dreams. And even nicer was how smoothly he came up with ideas on how to integrate Virgil into them. It was a first date unlike any Virgil had been on, and as Logan took his hand as they walked back to the car- Virgil couldn’t have been more thrilled with that fact.

Stolas sniffed, wiping his hand under his eyes to catch the falling tears. The small prince looked around, but all the trees looked alike. He was hopelessly lost. There were worst things, he guessed. Like his father arranging him to eventually marry that girl. She was so horrid, never even a nice word. And stuck up! She didn’t like any of his books at all, said he was stupid for reading all the time. 
Sitting against the base of one of the trees, he wiped his eyes again. Not for the first time, he wished Blitzo was here. He hadn’t seen his friend since that very first time, and it had been months, maybe even years since then. Or so it felt to the child. All he wanted was to spend time with someone who liked him. His memories of the imp were fond. They had had fun that day, and he wanted to have that again. 
But now he was lost. It was Stella’s fault. If she hadn’t tormented him so much... and if he hadn’t run to his father, trying to explain through his tears. Every time he hoped his father would do something about that girl. But he constantly just told him to suck it up, that it was non-negotiable. Maybe being lost was better, after all. A chill ruffled his feathers, and he hugged himself, pressing closer to the tree.

Tumblr media
“Su-kuna!”
“The fuck did you just call me?”
“Language,” You scold, not peering up from your book. Yuuji lays sprawled out on top of the both of you – his head in your lap, and practically purring in content when you gently pet the top of his head, while his little legs are on Sukuna’s thighs. 
Yuuji giggles into your shirt, shaking his head mischeviously. “Bad word Su-kuna!”
In an instant, you feel the toddler being ripped away from your lap with a tiny screech. The noise startles you, and you perk up from your book to look to where the boy has gone to. But, you aren't surprised to see him dangling in the air by his ankle – Sukuna’s long fingers skillfully hold onto Yuujis chubby little leg tight enough to not drop him, but gently enough to not cause physical harm. 
The boy doesn't seem to mind this position, being in it so frequently. Giggles and squeals leave the toddler's mouth as he stares at his now upside down brother. “You learning how to speak correctly?”
Yuuji nods his head, and his hands try to reach for Sukunas shirt. You rest your head on the man's shoulder, chuckling at the boy who was squirming in the air. “Uh-huh! F-Fush-i-guro taught me!” The dark haired toddlers last name was hard to pronounce, and it was amusing watching how Yuuji sounded it out.
Sukuna makes a loud groaning noise and you cover your mouth to hold back another laugh. “Of course you made friends with Gojo’s new brat. First he hits on my girl, and now his new kid is gonna manipulate this idiot.” He shakes Yuuji in the air to demonstrate his point, ignoring the squeals. 
You roll your eyes with a laugh. “Just because Megumi taught Yuuji how to say your name correctly, doesn't mean the kid is manipulating him. Y’know Yuuji struggles with words sometimes.” You watch as the child in turn shakes his head in defiance, letting out a “Nu-uh!” that only makes you smile. You turn back over to your lover, kissing his cheek. “Aw, does it make you sad that our little Yuuji is growing up?”
“No,” he quickly rebuttals, “Brat isnt growing up fast enough. I am mad that you're not denying the fact that the white haired idiot is flirting with you.” You know that wasn't the full truth, but alas, Sukuna was extremely stubborn and would never admit that he didn't want his brother to grow up. 
“Fush-i-guro says Mr. Gojo thinks you are pretty!” Yuuji announces, beaming at you from the air. You hold back a wince, smiling awkwardly back at the innocent words of the toddler. You watch as the boys cheeks begin to flush from all the blood rushing to his head, and immediately as if sensing it, Sukuna flips over the boy and instead places him on his lap, holding onto the back of his neck.
The action makes you smile, noticing the thumb that rubs gently at the pale skin. But when you glance at Sukuna, you notice quickly that he was anything but happy. Sukunas dark eyes twitches, flickering to you, and he speaks between his teeth. “Did he now? I may need to have a talk with Mr. Gojo next time I pick the little pest up. Does Fushiguro say anything else?”  
“Sukuna,” you whine, realising that the hold on the boys neck was not out of affection – instead was used to trap the boy while he was questioned. “Y’know Gojo is alot. He just wants to–”
“Fush-i-guro says Mr. Gojo has a crush on Y/N!”
“Yuuji!” 
“B-But, Y/N has a crush on brother,” the boy concludes, furrowing his eyebrows with a small nod. “Right, Ku–um–Su-kuna?” He turns up to his brother, doe eyed with his head slightly cocked to the side in question. 
In response, Sukuna ruffles his hair, nearly sending the boy landing on his back. But, instead he giggles at the rough treatment, shutting his eyes and trying his best to stay upward. “The biggest crush. You make sure to tell the little brat that. Or else Mr. Gojo is going to try take her away.”
Your eyes widen and you push at his broad shoulders. “Sukuna! You're going to get him all worked up!” You exclaim, knowing the very sensitive (regarding you or Sukuna) child very well by now. You turn to the boy, whose own eyes widen as he trying to process the words. “Gojo is not trying to take me away.”
“He is going to take her away if you don't do anything, and little Megumi is going to have a new mommy.” Sukuna was grinning at the boy, as if his brother's fearful expression pleased him. You knew that he was being purposely dramatic – Gojo wasn't even technically Megumi's father, if there was a chance that you guys would ever get together (near zero) you would definitely not be the boy's new mom. But alas, Sukuna continues on with his words. “Thats why whenever you see the two of them talking you have to make sure you to scream as loud as possible.”
You cover the mans mouth before you he can spewl any more nonsense, but it was too late. Yuuji was already tearing himself from the man's lap and into yours – his lips begin to wobble and his eyes flood with tears. “Is-um-is that what you two talk about when I am with Mr. Nanami,” he warbles, thinking back to the multitude of times he has held onto his preschool teachers hand and watched you smile at the white haired man. 
“No, love,” you reassure, turning your attention instead from scolding your lover to consoling the child. “Sukuna is being mean again. Don't listen to him. Mr. Gojo and I are friends.” You ignore the look that Sukuna shoots you, showing how displeased he is at the idea of you being friends with his least favorite person. 
The boy sniffles, wiping his little fists on his face. “I-I dont want you to be Fush-i-guro’s mommy. You have to stay with me and Kuna! P-Please?” He doesn't even attempt to say his brother's name correctly, forgetting how he started the conversation all together. He was focused on trying not to cry, because his brother was sure to tease him, but it wasn't working out very well.
You kiss at his chubby cheeks, shaking your head with an exasperated look on your face, wondering how the hell you got to this conversation. “I am not, promise. I'm not going anywhere. Even if your brother is the worst, brattiest, malicious person alive, I have kinda grown attached to him. Besides, if I left who would I have movie nights with?”
“I am not a–” You shoot Sukuna a nasty glare, and he in return lets out an astonished laugh, but shrugs without care.
Your words make Yuuji perk up from your lap, and his eyes widen with glee. “You like movie nights too?” He was always begging for the three of you to watch movies together, but Sukuna always denies him considering it would end up being a cheesy Disney movie that Yuuji would fall asleep not even twenty minutes into.
“I love movie nights. Do you want to have one tonight?”
“Woah, woah, woah,” Sukuna butts in, and you spare him a glance. “Babe, we have plans tonight, remember?” He tilts his head to the side suggestively and you roll your eyes at him.
“Not anymore. Me and Yuuji are going to watch…”
“Human Earthworm 2!” The boy interjects, completely forgetting about his previous experiences with the movie, not good ones.
You poke at his cheeks, shaking your head. “I was thinking The Lion King.” 
“Yes!”
“No,” Sukuna groans, covering his eyes with his palm.
You look at him with furrowed eyebrows. “No? Why are you putting your input in? You're not watching it with us.”
Sukuna, never have been told this before, looks appalled. “The fuck you mean?”
“Bad word!” Yuuji points to him in accusation, but Sukuna just ignores him.
You cock your head to the side, a sly grin pulling at your face. “You're not invited.”
“Why not?”
The two of you make eye contact for a long second, and after a moment or two, Sukuna sighs. “You're really mad about that?” You don't say anything, just continuing to stare at him. “Okay fuck–Yes that is a curse word, astute observation you brat. I am sorry for making the kid cry again.”
“And?”
Sukuna narrows his eyes at you, but you hold your ground. Then, he turns to the boy with a sigh. “Dont scream when you see Gojo and Y/N talk, alright?” He jabs his finger into the boys chest and Yuuji nods his head rapidly in understanding. But, a foxish grin pulls at the mans face and he says, “Instead…The moment you hear him talk to her, you bite his leg.”
He barks a laugh at the confused face of his brother, but when he looks up to you, the smile falters. “Okay, c’mon it was a jo–”
You point your finger to the door. “Couch.”
“You can't kick me out of my own room!”
You don't move your finger. Yuuji glances at you, cocks his head to the side, and then mimicks your action. “Couch!”
The three of you go silent for a long minute, and at this point the boy's hand begins to tremble from holding his hand out for too long. Eventually when Sukuna realizes that there was no point of reasoning, he lets out a dramatic sigh, before crawling out of bed. 
When he notices your smug smile, he flips you off and you can't help but laugh at that. “I am coming back after the movie is done, ya hear?”
“If Yuuji does not fall asleep,” You tease in return, knowing the boy well, and Sukuna rolls his eyes. 
His eyes flicker to the boy who was snuggling up to your chest, trying to find a comfortable position to watch the movie in. Sukuna chuckles to himself, opening up the door, before turning back to the kid one last time. “Hey brat,” he calls.
“Hm?” 
“The father lion–Mufasa. He is my favorite character, so you'll bound to like him a lot. In fact, I sure do wonder if you'll get attached,” he muses, and your eyes widen when you realize what he is saying. Anything that is linked with Sukuna, Yuuji immediately falls in love with. This was bound to cause hysteria. “Enjoy the movie guys! Y/N have fun!” He calls, before shutting the door.
You pause for a moment, sighing into your hand. “Kuna likes the father lion? I want to see!”
You tried everything to avoid turning on the movie after that. But Yuuji, like his brother, was stubborn, and he desperately wanted to see the lion. He grew attached very quickly in that short period of time.
Deep laughs rumble through the house when Yuuji begins to sob over the animated lion's death. You lock the door, and Sukuna stays the night on the couch.

AU where Jason comes back to Gotham and begins his plan to confront Batman and all that. Except after only like a week the Joker gets hit by a bus and then shot by a little old lady with a shotgun and dies.
Jason’s plan is now in shambles because the dramatic climax of his plan is no longer possible. But that’s fine. He’ll think of some other suitable alternative. Granted, it’s not quite the same if he uses some other villain. Making Batman choose doesn’t mean nearly as much when it’s not about the person who killed him.
And really, is he going to try and get Batman to kill Black Mask or something? Scarecrow? Red Hood is competent; he could do it himself so why bother.
So Jason lays low continues to build his criminal empire with astounding speed and efficiency. If only he could think of a good way to announce his return. Nothing he can think of is dramatic enough.
Meanwhile, the Bats are freaking out because who is this guy that’s taken over half of the Gotham underworld in like a month? He’s obviously trained, but they just can’t seem to get any information on who he is or where he came from. It is beyond frustrating.
After a few months Jason is frustrated that he just can’t seem to find any dramatic good way of making Batman prove himself. It has to be something big! Something magnificent!
During his weekly chat with Talia he complains about his problems and she suggests he come back for a visit. He argues that he can’t just leave, but she says if he has competent enough lieutenants it’d be fine. He spends the next three weeks making sure that everything will be fine if he leaves for a week. He will not have all of his hard work falling apart and going to waste due to incompetence. Absolutely not.
So then once his lieutenants are sufficiently prepared (and the rest of Gotham’s criminal element sufficiently cowed), he heads to Nanda Parbat, only to find Ra’s on the phone with Bruce, who is demanding to know if the Red Hood has any affiliation with the league.
Oh. Oh. He can give them affiliation.
A new plan begins to form.
He’s going to be the most affiliated he can be. Jason immediately goes to Talia with his newest plan: Overthrow Ra’s and takeover the league. Talia whips out her forty step outline for overthrowing Ra’s and tells Jason she’s so proud of him.
Jason has a new goal now, so he gets to work. He checks on things in Gotham, but everything seems to be fine and there haven’t been any unplanned explosions so it should be fine if he stays here for a bit.
Taking over Gotham really was good practice, as it turns out. Thanks to Talia’s plans and previous foundational efforts the takeover happens in no time.
Meanwhile the bats are still freaking out. Red Hood hasn’t been seen in three weeks, he may or may not have league of assassins connections, and even in his absence his goons seem to be managing things competently.
Back in Nanda Parbat, Jason and Talia finish their takeover. And now, finally, he’s ready to confront Batman.
He arrives in Gotham as the new head of the league. His arrival is loud, elaborate, and dramatic enough to fulfill his inner theater kid’s dreams.
Batman is speechless. And not his usual grunts instead of words, but actual surprised speechless. Jason is alive?!?!?!?
Jason was not expecting all the tears. And hugs. And mother henning. Goodness gracious, this was not part of the plan.
Bruce is obviously struggling with Jason’s revelation that he took over the league, but the newest little birdie seems almost relieved at that(?) and Dick and Alfred both seem strangely proud. Whatever. Even Bruce seems to be at least mostly ignoring that for now.
Then someone asks him if he knows Red Hood. Jason blinks. Says that yeah, he knows Red Hood. Everyone seems to ease at that. One mystery solved. Jason quickly realizes that most of them have no idea he is Red Hood. Cass seems to be the only exception but also appears amused and willing enough to not mention it.
Dramatic appearance complete, Jason now has a new goal: see how long he can keep the bats (minus Cass and potentially Alfred) in the dark about his crime boss identity.
He will bribe Cass as much as it takes to keep her on board with the causing chaos plan, but she seems eager enough. Favorite sibling status definitely unlocked. (The whole killing thing is fought over at great length and a truce of sorts is eventually made)
David Cain is never heard from again.
Damian shows up at some point.
At least one league member has suddenly found themselves as an HR rep for Gotham criminals? They’re still not quite sure how that happened.

Something Worth Stealing: Four
“What do you think?”
Truthfully Virgil was terrified at the very prospect. There was a reason each nanny didn’t last long, and Virgil had heard enough horror stories about the Ackroyd boys to avoid them at all costs when he had worked in the past. Hell the only reason he still got some to come in now and then was because the job was so high paying. Mr. Ackroyd knew exactly what he was doing advertising with all those zeroes, he was reeling in any nanny who would skip talking to peers at the sight. And now by some twist of fate that very bait was dangling above Virgil, and even worse there wasn’t anyway he could feasibly afford to ignore it. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked the man in the eye, “I think it is more than a generous offer that I would be happy to accept.”
(Virgil becomes the newest nanny for his very attracti- for Logan.)
Ao3 - Previous Parts - Masterlist
Four
Virgil had woken early the next morning, and upon checking on the children had found that Logan had fallen asleep leaning against the bed both twins were sharing. Part of him briefly considered moving the man, but not wanting to wake him, he left him be. Turns out Patton was the only one awake besides himself, so took the baby and brought him down to make breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, and eggs were the name of the game this morning, and Virgil wasn't alone long, as the smell of food seemed to rouse the rest of the house. Janus joined him first, followed by the twins, who told him that their father was going to shower. It had been easy to cook and entertain the children, what hadn’t been easy was everything that followed after Logan appeared. Virgil had told him a simple good morning and Logan had quickly looked away from him, preoccupying himself with setting the table. But any question of if the man was alright, was stopped when he saw the slight blush on his boss’ face and Virgil immediately short circuited as he remembered the words spoken last night. At the time he had been so focused on trying to get Logan to understand that he is a good person and father that Virgil had dismissed the other revelation of the evening.
That Logan had been focused on watching him swim, and apparently day dreamed of putting sunscreen on him?
Virgil felt his own face flush as he forced his gaze into the pancake in the pan. It didn’t make sense, Logan even giving him a once over. Sure Virgil thought Logan was attractive, anyone with some sense would understand that he was beautiful, but Virgil… Virgil was just average. Why would someone who could have literally anyone have the slightest of interest in him? Had it been a trick of the light? Maybe because he had been shirtless and further away? Maybe because Logan was having a hard time dating and he was just frust-
The train of thought thankfully ran off the rails before Virgil could properly consider his boss’ sex life as Logan’s hand pulled the spatula from his, “You're going to burn it.”
Virgil didn’t have any intelligence left to make a sound as Logan leaned over him to remove the pancake from the pan. When the spatula was handed back to him, Virgil forced himself to speak (but he kept his eyes on the pan as he poured in more batter), “How’s your head?”
“I took a few Advil,” Logan sighed, moving away. “But for once I’m not a fan of all the natural light in here… I understand why you were intent on stopping me now.”
Virgil gave a chuckle, “The moral of the story here is to listen to the nanny.”
“That’s rule number one!” Remus chimed in.
Upon glancing over Virgil watched as Logan raised an eyebrow and went to ruffle his son’s hair. “That’s an important rule for you, not me.”
“But Virgil is often right,” Roman considered.
“He’s annoying but he’s right,” Janus agreed.
Logan gave a sigh and shook his head (and seemed to immediately regret the action), “Breakfast isn’t quite yet ready. Why don’t you three put on some real clothes?”
The boys protested, but ultimately did as they were told. “I’ll change this one too,” Logan decided, pulling Patton from his high chair.
“Okay,” Virgil nodded. “I should be done soon.”
Logan didn’t respond, but he hesitated at the stairs,  “Perhaps you and I can speak more later?”
Virgil’s face once again betrayed him as he mumbled an “okay” in response.
Breakfast was followed with games and that with staying in sand by the water, but soon enough the weekend trip was ending and it was time to return home.
“I wanna stay longer,” Remus complained while getting in the car.
“Not this time,” Logan told him from his place in the front seat. “You have school tomorrow.”
“Can’t we just skip it?”
“No we cannot. I also have work tomorrow, and I can’t skip that.”
“Virgil works every day, you can leave and we can stay with him,” Roman decided.
“Also not happening. Now buckle up.”
The boys save for Patton were quick to fall asleep, which left an awkward silence between Logan, Virgil, and the poor driver who had to exist in this tension. Part of him wanted to have a conversation and just get it over with, he wanted to realize that something crazy was going on because there was no way Logan could truly like him, but at the same time he wanted to hide at the bottom of the ocean for as long as he could.
Any thoughts on what to do next were quickly erased by the ringing on his phone bearing his sister’s name. He didn’t get a chance to even say hello before the sound of crying met his ears and Virgil’s mood plummeted.
“V! I wanna talk to Jan!” She demanded.
“Uh, he’s asleep. I can wake him, but first what’s wrong?” He asked worriedly. “Did he-”
“Ruin my life again? Yes! I’m fucking pregnant! Damn it! I shouldn’t have taken him back!” Virgil took a deep breath as understanding of the conversation came. At first he was thankful that she was safe, but then came the questions he didn’t dare ask. This wasn’t the time.
“I don’t know what to do,” she continued sniffling. “I just wanna talk to Janus for a bit.”
“Alright, let me wake him. Just try not to worry him?”
“Shut up,” she grumbled in response but he could hear how she cleared her throat. So after a moment he then leaned over to give his nephew a gentle shake.
When Janus stirred he gave his nephew a smile, “Mom wants to talk to you.”
Janus was awake at once and pulled the phone from Virgil’s hand and put it to his ear. “Mom! Mom! We went to a lake house!”
“Shhh,” Virgil urged. “The others are still sleeping.”
“Sorry!” He whispered. “Mom! We went to- why are you crying?”
The conversation was short, and from what Virgil could gather she made no mention of her pregnancy, only promises of coming to visit Janus soon enough. But Virgil had a feeling that like other times it wouldn’t turn out that way. And judging from his expression, his young nephew thought the same way. But he didn’t say anything to Virgil after he hung up, he just helped himself to the games he had previously downloaded on Virgil’s phone. Virgil would have to talk to him later.
Logan seemed to have a similar thought process as he pulled Virgil aside when they reached the manor. “Is everything alright?”
“My sister,” Virgil started slowly. “Her situation just got a bit more… complicated.”
“Do… Do you want to talk about it?”
Virgil paused, his gaze drifting to where Janus had joined Remus in crawling on the floor beside Patton. He appeared fine, but then again the boy was good at pretending… however Virgil wasn’t. “If you don’t mind,” Virgil said finally.
Logan led the way upstairs to an empty sitting room but once they were both comfortable, Virgil wasn’t sure what to say.
“How are you feeling?” Logan asked him.
“I… I don’t know,” Virgil shrugged. “I’m not sure what to do about this.”
“May I ask what happened?”
“My sister. She… things got hard when she left her ex because of multiple reasons. Because of him she has had to move a few times, and that’s why I have Janus. Which I’m totally fine with! But... but the plan always was that she would figure things out and get to a place where he can live with her again but…”
“But?”
“She took him back after all that, and now she’s pregnant again. I don’t think she told Janus, and I don’t know what she’s going to do. But if she really is gonna stay with him then… then I feel like Janus loses either way.”
“I apologize that I can’t help in this situation, but I do know that Janus is lucky to have you.”
Virgil gave a slight laugh in dismissal, “You have to say that, don’t you?”
“You don’t believe me? Virgil you’re a person who will do anything for him. You brought him into your home, gave him your bed, you got a second job, and then we’re even willing to risk it all by stealing from me to help him. You’re a good person and a good person for him. And for my boys as well.”
Virgil took a deep breath to avoid the emotions swelling within him, before he nodded. “And you’re a good father.”
Logan’s mouth opened and closed before he conceded with a sigh, “I thought I was comforting you?”
“It’s a two way street… How are you feeling about yesterday?”
“I’m going to do better for them,” Logan promised “That’s- that’s the best that I can do.”
“And that’s perfect.”
Logan gave a slight smile, “Let me know if I can do anything for you, even if it’s just lending an ear. But I shouldn’t keep you away from Janus any longer.”
Virgil stood with a nod, “Let me know if I can do anything for you… you do pay me to help out after all.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow Virgil.”
It wasn’t until he was home later, that something occurred to Virgil. He had been so distracted by his sister, that he had completely forgotten that
“Logan likes me.”
“That’s obvious,” Janus commented into a bite of pizza.
Virgil’s eyes widened as he realized he had spoken aloud. “I-I mean that-”
Janus ignored him as he made a face, “Roman said that Logan wants to be all gross and kissy to you.”
“W…what?”
“Don’t be gross in front of me.”
“I…”
“I like Logan but I don’t want to be cousins with Roman.”
Virgil took a bite of pizza to keep from responding, but ultimately there was still something he needed to talk to his nephew about. “What did you and your mom talk about?”
Janus gave a noncommittal shrug, “Nothing really. But she sounded sad.”
“It’s probably because she misses you.”
“I miss her too. But I want her to be happy like us.”
“Like us?”
“Yeah, I think it would be best if she could live with us.” Janus paused in thought before he frowned, “But I don’t think all three of us could share your bed. So maybe after we finally move.”
“Once we get settled in a new place we can ask her what she thinks. But that’s still gonna be a while.”
“Can’t we speed things up? The sooner you get a new place, the sooner we get an even bigger TV!”
Virgil gave a laugh, “And here I thought you were excited about your own room.”
“I am! But I also want a big TV, so that way our movie nights can feel like movie theater nights.”
“Is this a subtle hint that tonight should be a movie night?”
“Yup! But you get to pick this movie this time.“
“A true honor. Thank you, good sir.”
“Of course my dear Uncle!”

Standing in front of the mansion Virgil couldn’t help but feel a nervousness he hadn’t felt since his first day as a nanny.
“Uncle Vir-” The rest of his name was drowned out by Janus’ yawn as he poked Virgil in the side. “Why did we have get here so early?”
“I need to talk to Logan,” Virgil told him (more to convince himself to actually do it than anything), before he moved to unlock the door.
Upon entering the home he was quick to get Janus set up with some breakfast before he headed to Logan’s office. Standing in front of the fancy door, Virgil took a deep breath, mustered all the courage he had, and knocked. He stepped back from the door and waited. As he waited, the seconds felt like ages. His heart was drumming in his chest as he tried to figure out what exactly to say. He flexed his fingers as he waited… and waited… and waited. To no response. Had he come at a bad time? He had come early, and usually Logan was already dressed and doing things by the time he arrived. No, no, he probably just hadn’t heard. But a second knock yielded the same result as the first. Damn it. Logan was clearly busy and he was being nothing more than a bother. He should just stick to his job and check on the boys. Maybe Patton? The baby usually woke up first, but he usually laid quietly in his room. But what if he wasn’t asl-
“Virgil?”
Virgil was quick to turn to see Logan coming around the corner. His boss gave him a casual nod, “You’re early today.”
“Um yeah,” Virgil started at peak intelligence. “We… We never got that chance to talk. And quite frankly I think I would implode if I’m confused all day.”
Logan’s lips twitched into a smile before he turned and headed back down a hall and waved for Virgil to follow. It was awkward. More so than Virgil would ever admit, but he followed Logan to and then into his bedroom. To a room he hadn’t been in since he had stolen Logan’s watch… truly a great spot for this conversation. Logan hadn’t seemed to notice Virgil’s apprehensions as he sat on his bed and motioned for Virgil to sit in a chair beside the bed.
“I apologize,” Logan said quickly. “It seems my filter doesn’t work as well when I drink. While I had intended to speak with you about my feelings and not ruining our work relationship, I hadn’t meant to do so in such a tactless manner. I understand and I apologize if I have made you uncomfortable.”
“N-no! You didn’t I just- uh, I just was… surprised,” Virgil assured.
Logan gave a nod and a slight breath of relief, “I’m glad. I didn’t want to make it too awkward for you to work here. If you want, I’m willing to keep my distance and-”
“Keep your distance?”
“Yes, I don’t wish to make you feel out of place here, just because our feelings do not align. My feelings are mine and I do not intend to push them onto you.” As Logan’s explanation continued, Virgil could only look at his boss in surprise. He had thought he had (accidentally) been quite obvious about his thoughts and feelings for Logan, but it seemed Logan was fretting over Virgil thought about him so much that he hadn’t realized Virgil felt the same way.
“I… I don’t want you to distance yourself,” Virgil started slowly and he could already feel his face heating up. “And…”
“And?”
“I… I just can’t believe you actually like me. I’m just strange and boring, and I did try to steal from you once. I’m just average looking- but you? You are the attractive and cool one. It just doesn’t make sense. Anyone in their right mind should like you, but why me?” The heat of Virgil’s face was probably enough to fry an egg, but somewhere deep down, he was aware of the look of utter bafflement on Logan’s face.
“Am I to understand that,” Logan started slowly as a blush creeped its way into his face. “That you…”
Virgil gave a groan of embarrassment as his head fell into his hands, “Don’t make me say it!”
“Al-alright…”
The silence rang loud between them, before the sound of the door opening drew Virgil’s attention. Then in the doorway stood an excited looking Roman in his pajamas. “Daddy! I lost my tooth!” He didn’t wait for Logan to respond before he ran up and opened his mouth for Logan to examine.
“Uh- Oh I see!” Logan smiled, snapping back into dad mode. “We’ll have to put it under your pillow tonight.”
“Virgil! Virgil! Look!” Roman shouted, moving to stand in front of Virgil.
“I didn’t even know you had a wiggly tooth,” Virgil told him.
“It wasn’t that loose, but Remus hit me with a really heavy pillow! And it hurt a lot- but then my tooth fell out!”
“That’s… that’s quite the heavy pillow,” Virgil said slowly, his gaze flickering to Logan who gave a frown.
“He shouldn’t have done that, and who knows what he put in there?” Logan said, spinning Roman to face him. “Why don’t you start getting ready and then I’ll talk to Remus. I need to talk to Virgil right now.”
Roman gave a quick nod before a thought seemed to occur to him, which made him smile wide (with a missing space in there), “I’m gonna go show Patton!” And with that he vanished from the bedroom leaving Virgil and Logan alone, but in a less awkward space than before.
“Virgil?” Logan asked, standing and readjusting his suit jacket. “Can I invite you to dinner, just the two of us?”
Virgil gave a slight nod but he didn’t meet that alluring gaze, “If you and I go to dinner, who watches the kids?“
“That can be determined later. I think your answer is more important. Might I take you on a date?”
“ …Yes. I’d, I’d like that.”
Logan gave him a winning smile. “Then I look forward to that evening.”
