HOW THE SIDES HANDLE THE QUARANTINE
Assuming this is a human AU and they all live together.
Is a little bummed he can’t go to parks or pet shops to see dogs, or go see movies, but he’s okay.
Decided to use the extra time to learn more baking recipes.
He’s made homemade bread, snickerdoodles, brownies, cupcakes with homemade frosting, and a nice warm apple pie
logan is a little worried with how much food he’s using up but he looks so happy and the treats are so mouth-wateringly good he can’t say no
Bought animal crossing new horizons the day it came out and has been playing it nonstop
will take breaks from animal crossing to go ramble to his roommates how awesome the game is
“Guys, look! There’s this little owl guy named Blathers and he has a museum for all my little fishes!”
At first Logan listened only to be polite but then Patton would talk about the facts Blathers told him about his donations and now Logan is proud he’s learning something.
Logan sees the pros and cons. He has less structure in his day, he can’t run errands, but he has more time to do things he wants and thats very appealing.
Day before total quarantine Logan spent over 200$ on books he now has ample time to read.
Though he spends most of his time reading, he’ll sometimes set the books aside and seek out the others for some conversation. After all, it was a human need to socialize.
Roman can get on his nerves, especially with the shared space, so he’ll often retreat to his bedroom to hide from the annoyingly adorable prince.
He gets stir crazy very easily. This poor extrovert.
Since he feels so locked up and lonely he is CONSTANTLY trying to get the others attention.
He took up animal crossing just to have something to do with Patton.
He started reading some of Logan’s books so they could debate.
He even started picking petty arguments with Virgil just to interact with him. Virgil took the self isolation a little too far.
Logan recommended he take the time to learn a skill.
This lead to 3am poetry sessions all about how trapped and lonely he is.
Roman is BLOWN AWAY by how Virgil likes this stuff. How could he?? It’s horrible!”
With Roman’s lonely feelings he’s gotten intensely touch starved.
Patton picked up on this quick. Now he makes time to cuddle with their little drama king so he can feel loved.
He started helping Patton bake too, but with a lot more hand-holding.
This boi is heaven. Doesn’t have to go to work or have any responsibility other than be inside alone all day?
He almost cried tears of joy just imagining it. Calm quiet days and nights with nowhere to be, limitless time to be in his room? He could organize his shelves with no rush or need to be anywhere, he could make his bed, he could listen to every song he’s ever bought!
The first two days were exactly as he planned.
Then the unthinkable happened… he actually got… bored of the isolation?
This led to a lot of sighing, looking at the door knowing there’s people right there to talk to, then not leaving because socialization, even with loved ones, is hard.
And he had made such a big deal out of being isolated… now it would be weird to be clingy and stuff right?
Virgil downloaded that game Patton had been talking about cause he thought a simulation game would give him socialization without the anxiety.
It was a fun game, he enjoyed it, but it wasn’t an actual replacement.
How do you ask for attention? Just walk in there like ‘Hi, I’m lonely”?
After an entire day of deliberation Virgil came up with the idea of just playing animal crossing in the living room hoping someone would start a conversation for him.
It worked, as soon as Patton saw his screen he squealed and began excitedly talking about the game.
Virgil had no idea how he missed Patton’s excitable nature.
After that, when Virgil wanted attention, he would simply sit in the same room as the one he wanted to talk with and wait for them to start a conversation.
He thought he was being sneaky, but they all knew, and they were okay pretending they didn’t notice his little strategy.
He still enjoyed quiet alone time, but maybe being with others wasn’t so bad.
