Virgil removed his fangs and started to suck out the blood. As he did so, he closed his eyes and let his fingers get tangled into his boyfriend's hair. Roman was running his hands up and down Virgil's back, occasionally kissing his shoulder whenever he got closer. Eventually he pulled away revealing his mouth full of blood, some of it dripping out as he panted. Roman pulled him closer, wiping off the blood and letting him rest on his chest. They stayed like this for a while until a knock broke the calm silence. Logan entered with a sandwich in hand.
"That's for you Roman. You should always eat a bit after losing that much blood so suddenly."
"Wait how did you know?" asked Virgil, not letting go of his lover.
"I was watching to see if I had to step in. You know, just in case you accidentally killed him." at that, Virgil blushed with embarrassment and looked down, ashamed. Logan sucked in some air before giving Roman the sandwich and putting a comforting hand on his friend's back.
"I'll only say it once so listen well. I'm proud of you Virgil." He headed towards the door. "You two should get some sleep. See you soon." After Roman finished his sandwich, he pulled Virgil in again and laid down right next to him. He caressed his boyfriend's face as he watched him drift off to sleep.

It was now 5 am, Virgil woke up feeling alone and cold. He shifted in his bed and crooked his eyes open. Where Roman once was, was remaining only an empty space. Virgil got up and opened his room's door. From the staircase he could see a broad silhouette in the entrance of the living room. He sighed and silently made his way downstairs. He wrapped his arms around Roman's waist making him gasp before he realized who was hugging him.
"Sorry V, did I wake you up?" Virgil shook his head no.
"Still you should go back to bed. We have been awake for the whole night." Roman gave a weary glance towards the limp form laying on the couch only to get lost in the eyes of the man that was holding him gently and stroking his hair.
"Your brother is going to be safe, I promise." And that was it, Roman let himself be guided back to Virgil's room. He held the sleepy vampire and trailed soft kisses down his collarbone. He closed his eyes enjoying the feeling of soft lips against his skin.
"What's on your mind Ro?" He asked, crooking an eye open. Roman hesitated as he intertwined his fingers with his boyfriend's.
"I'm scared. I'm scared of losing the people I love. Wether it's you or Remus, I just can't shake off the thought."
"Well Remus and I are immortal so you won't lose us. Well not until you..." Virgil froze and he bit down on his lip.
"Not until I die?" Roman finished. He nodded before letting out a long breath and looking away. Roman reached out and cupped his face. Something wet and warm slid on his fingers.
"Love, are you crying?" This time more tears started falling down. Roman tried his best to wipe them away but to no avail. Virgil's voice shook and broke as he tried to stop crying.
"I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to say that I-" Roman stopped him by pressing their lips together.
"Looks like we're both scared of loosing each other." As he finished his sentence, he pulled him in a tight hug. Virgil thought for a while.
"Ro?"
"Yes mi amor ?"
"If one day, somehow you do end up loosing me... I want you to forget me. Find another man that will make you happy and treat you right. One who you can grow old and live normally with." Roman didn't say anything for a moment. Suddenly he pulled away.
"... Ro ? What's-" He stopped when he realized he was tearing up.
"How could you say something like that?!" He said, his voice breaking with hurt and sadness. He took a deep breath and continued.
"Is it that easy for you to FORGET someone you love? Well guess what Virgil, I'm not like that. I love people and if they end up leaving, I may be sad or hurt, but I don't forget the love I had for them nor the place they once had in my heart. If one day, somehow I do end up loosing you, I'll never forget how much I loved you."
Virgil sighed.
"I'm sorry..." He nodded.
"It's fine. Now come here emo." They slept through the whole day like everyone else. Let's just say they wouldn't have a conversation like that in a while.
