Romano - Prinxiety

Virgil won't stop calling Roman by that stupid nickname, turns out he doesn't mind that much. For the prompt: Virgil uses every excuse possible to call Roman Romano.

This chapter has a NSFW element just be aware.

-----------------------------

"Romano!" Virgil uncharacteristically exclaimed at seeing Roman enter his room, they hadn't seen each other all day with Roman helping helping Thomas all day and Virgil staying put in his room. "Hmm, please stop calling me that," Roman says, rubbing his forehead slightly in annoyance but also at the feeling of an oncoming headache. "How about no, Romano." Virgil smirks but kneels up from his place on his bed and reaches his arms out in Roman's direction.

Roman walks into his embrace, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's midsection and ducking his head onto his shoulder. "Are you alright?" Virgil asks, concern evident in his voice, and Roman shakes his head in response. Virgil hums in contemplation, "come lie down with me, Romano. We'll have a nap before food time." Roman smiles into Virgil's hoodie and allows himself to be dragged down onto the bed.

They nap for too long and miss food, which Patton lightly scolds them for, but it's worth it because it's warm and safe. It's what they both need.

A few nights later they're in Roman's room, Roman is sound asleep next to him but Virgil can't sleep for the life of him. It must be around three in the morning and Virgil really doesn't want to disrupt his boyfriend. Yet he does. Virgil pokes at Roman's ribs, then his face, and kisses his lips briefly. Roman sirs slightly, rolling over to face Virgil as he opens his eyes to look blearily at his boyfriend.

"Verge?" Roman asks, his voice quiet and not quite awake yet, "hey Romano." Even through his sleepy haze Roman glares at Virgil. "Cuddle with me, I can't sleep," Virgil says shyly, knowing deep down that Roman wouldn't mind being woken up for this but still Virgil regrets waking him. "Sure." Roman scoots closer to him and pulls him against his chest, closing his eyes again in hope of going back to sleep.

"Night, night, Romano," Virgil comments sarcastically, burying himself closer to his boyfriend ignoring the disgruntled hum from Roman. Regardless he pulls Virgil against himself, drifting back to sleep moments later. Virgil got to sleep after a while, the warmth of his boyfriend comforting him, helping him drift off.

Time went on, Roman thought Virgil had possibly forgotten about the whole nickname thing, the others had stopped using it themselves so Roman was hopeful.

"A-ah, fuck, Virgil!" Roman gasps as he comes over his own stomach and Virgil's hand, moments later Virgil comes inside of him with a hiss then collapses on top of him. Roman makes a noise of complaint but brushes Virgil's hair out of his face, "Verge, get off!" Roman gently shoves at his shoulders to get him to move, Virgil does so but exaggeratingly slowly.

Roman grimaces when Virgil pulls out, "go get a towel or something," Roman tells him as he gets off of the bed and heads towards their bathroom. "Sure thing Romano." He can hear Roman's laugh from the bathroom and doesn't hold back his own smile.

Virgil has his bad days still, they're not too bad now that Roman is here here and he understands. These bad days come sooner or later, he prefers sooner so he can get them over with. Roman finds him on the floor in his room, sitting on the floor with his back against the bed. He's crying, or he has been, tear tracks stain his cheeks and his makeup is messy.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Roman asks, sitting beside Virgil on the floor, Virgil shakes his head in response. "Okay, you don't need to say anything yet." Roman puts his arm around Virgil slowly and Virgil leans into him. "Thanks, Roman," Virgil whispers, leaning his head onto Roman's shoulder. "Hey, that's Romano to you," Roman answers, the playful words not quite hiding the worry in his voice but Virgil smiles anyway. Roman doesn't mind the nickname if it puts a smile of his boyfriend's face, so maybe, just maybe, it can stay.
