--------------------------------------------------------------"Darn it!" Roman sighs as he sets down the elegant acoustic he was strumming mere seconds before. "I'm never going to get this right." He ran his fingers through his hair, and groaned.
From his doorway, Virgil watched his frustration with visible interest.
"What's up?"
He walked into Romans room, and sat down beside him. Noticably startled, Roman jumped and let out a small squeal as he noticed the quiet emo sit down next to him. "You're like a cat! So light and quiet on your feet, it's jarring! ...And scary" Virgil rolled his eyes, "What're you so angry about?"His attention suddenly brought back to the guitar sitting next to them, "Oh! I.. was trying to write something. It's for someone-" Virgil peered at a notebook sitting on Romans night stand. "What do you have so far?" Roman sighed, "Nothing! Utterly nothing!" Virgil quickly glazed over the notes, each of them either scribbled out or with the word STUPID written next to it. "What're you even trying to write?"
"It's a song, I guess a love song. But it sounds dumb when you put it like that."
"Yeah, it does. But I think I catch your drift. What're you trying to say?"Roman thought for a second, before realizing he didn't really know. "Uh I'm not sure. I-" Roman fidgeted with his fingers as he spoke, "I care about this person alot. Everytime I see him, I feel as though my heart skips to a happy little dance and hums a sweet little tune. Like one you'd hear in a disney song, singing to the little animals about how the princess is so in love with the prince. But in this case I'm the princess - or uh, prince. - and it's incredibly difficult to write a song proffessing how I feel about my prince!"
"Write that." Virgil said, handing the notebook back to Roman. "What?"
"Pick up the pen, and write what you just told me into that little notebook. The whole disney princess thing." Roman did as he was told, and scribbled the words onto the page. "How else do you feel about this guy?" Roman grinned, and took a deep breath.
"Well," He started with such energy that Virgil got tired just by seeing the look on his face. "His smile is goregous and anytime I see it I melt into a puddle of my own admiration. His eyes are captivating and the way they shimmer make my whole body ache with the amount of pure joy it brings me. Just to see him, and know that he exists, it brings so much serotonin." - A grumble was heard from Logan's room, explaining that it was not serotonin, but rather oxytocin. - "Whatever, It's all just giddy brain stuff to me. Anyways, this man makes me feel so many things and just to breathe from the same air as him feels like an honor bestowed upon my very existence."
Virgil had written down everything Roman had said, and told him to put that into his song. Roman picked up the guitar once more, and began to sing from his notes. It sounded rough, but overall the message was clear and Roman was mainly satisfied. "Oh, it's so wonderful. Did you like it??" He bounced up and down with excitement, awaiting Virgil's response.
"Yeah yeah sure whatever, Princey. Not really my style, but whatever floats your boat, King corny." Roman dramatically acted so offended that he couldn't even think of a rebound, and ushered Virgil out of his room.
He turned back to his notes, and added one final verse, directly addressing the man who'd helped him write this song, as he was also the intended recipient. He swooned over Virgil's scent still lingering in his room, and the slow swaying he'd done as Roman sung him the sweet tune. He sighed, and layed against the back-board of his bed. "If only you knew, Virgil. If only.."
