Roman one-shots

ashes

A/N; was i missed?? anywayy been through a lot lately, finally healing from a 3 month off and on relationship and I'm writing again! I don't really like this but it's something

tws; unsympathetic virgil and implied death

My crown barely fits on my head. I let it fall. My kingdom was in ashes. How could I let this happen? What did I do to deserve this? This is my fault and I have no way to save it. I tried so hard to stop this. I begged and pleaded and cried. I built the walls so high I thought nobody could break them. It seemed that overnight, they fell letting the intruder in. How could one person do so much damage? The tears stung my eyes. I knew that even though the walls were high, they were glass, easily breakable, and see-through. I just never thought I would see it break.

I screamed so loud but nobody heard me. It fell on deaf ears. I cried repeatedly but no matter how loud and long nobody came running. All I wanted was someone to whisper in my ear that it would all be alright. That we could fix it but the ground started to shake. The houses started to fall, the people screamed, and suddenly - I was not alone. We were sinking but we were sinking together. I knew who did this. Who broke my walls and people until it was only me. He was a monster. A beautiful one that disguised himself as an angel, but was still a monster. I was just too blind to see the signs. I looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Why Virgil?" I barely gasped out., My voice was weak. He chuckled lightly, caressing my face. He bent down to meet my face. His hands were on his knees. I shut my eyes tightly. I couldn't look at him. I wanted to hug him but I wanted to throw him against the wall and just scream.

" "Now come on sweetheart, don't be like that. We do not throw tantrums." He laughed as if people weren't dead. I could feel him smiling. I wanted to cry but I refuse to let him see me cry. "I am not a child," I screamed.

He smirked. "Oh, I know that. A child couldn't do what you do." I sighed, shaking my head. Begging him to go away. Why me? Why my people? They were happy. I loved them more than anything else. I tried to protect them. It worked for a while, but then I let him in. I truly believed he was an angel. Someone was here to help. To help me. It was getting hard to do it on my own. Even though the horns were always there, I loved him.

The tears start falling down. He wiped them away and I just cried harder. "I don't understand. I loved you!" I yelled. Yet he still was smiling. He still thought this was a joke. I stayed on my knees begging him to say anything. I prayed for that man. I prayed that he could rule by my side. That I wouldn't be so alone. You can only rule a kingdom for so long. I was getting tired.

I was cracking. I didn't even realize that my own cracks were breaking the walls I spent forever on. He smiled at me. He fucking smiled at me. That's all he could say for himself. Were a smile and a head nod? A "Well, You should have seen it coming." I DID SEE IT COMING! That's the worst part. "I loved you knowing you were a shitty person. I loved all your flaws. You came in as an angel but I saw the demon behind that. I loved you. Do you not understand that? I let you break my walls. The walls I built for them. I finally for once put myself above my people and do you see where that landed me?" I asked and I screamed and I cried. I cried so hard. and all I could get was a gaping mouth. Not a sorry, not an I really loved you. Not even an okay. I wasn't even sure if he heard me.

"Roman? I'm sorry?" Virgil sturred. I left my demon speechless. My demon. He was my demon. I just stared at him. He is not the same person I wished he was. My eye twitched. He was crying. He tried to touch my shoulder but I pushed him away.

I got up. Started to walk away but he grabbed me and pulled me back. My eyes shut tightly. When I opened them, we were no longer in a fantasy town with demons and angels. We were in my bedroom. My little brother is downstairs. His hand was on my thigh. My head on the pillow. "Are you okay?" He asked, worry creeping through his voice.

I smiled. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just a really bad dream." He smiled and for a second I thought I saw same the demon who haunts my sleep.
