A Collection Of Various One Shots Depicting Thomas Sanders's Characters

[Prinxiety] ~ Remember Me

It's not really a huge secret that I love the Disney-Pixar movie Coco. It comes out on iTunes and DVD tomorrow, and I'm forcing my friend GuardedMind to watch it with me when it does, because they've never seen it, and that's not allowed. (They want to see it though, so it's okay).

This one shot won't have any spoilers, it's just based off of the song from the movie, "Remember Me" and uses some of the lyrics. If you've seen the movie, you'll know that there are three different versions of this song in the movie, and this one shot is based off of the lullaby version sung by Hector. If you haven't seen the movie, go watch it, because it's seriously amazing.

Virgil let himself collapse onto the couch, and accidentally fell on Roman's leg in doing so. He wasn't very appreciative of that, but Virgil made up for it by offering him some of the popcorn bowl. He rest his head on Roman's chest and used his boyfriend's body for warmth.

Roman started the movie, and set the remote down on the side table. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend lovingly, and they both turned their attention to the screen.

The movie they had chosen was called Coco. It was a Disney-Pixar film about the importance of a family's unconditional love for each other, and as cheesy as it sounds, it was a wonderfully written film that the Disney-loving couple both enjoyed.

"Roman, are you going to cry this time? This will be your eighth time watching it. You know what happens." Virgil said.

"It's not my fault it's a very emotional movie, Virgil." Roman said. "Although for the record... That's not the reason I'm going to be crying tonight, and you know that."

Virgil met Roman's eyes. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too. Don't worry, we'll video chat so often it will be like I never left." Roman said.

Virgil gave him a weak smile. "I guess."

"We still have tonight together. Let's enjoy it to the best of our ability." Roman said.

"I wish we had longer." Virgil said.

"Believe me, Virgil, I wish I could spend forever with you, but alas, my future depends on this job, and the only way for me to accept is if I move out there. But I can assure you that a second won't go by where I'm not missing you."

Virgil blushed. "You're so cheesy, god."

"You love it." Roman flirted.

"I love you." Virgil countered, placing a soft kiss on Roman's lips.

Roman smiled. "That, too."

Roman's flight was unbelievably early in the morning. Virgil still insisted on seeing him off, even though he was downing coffee for most of it in order to stay awake.

They exchanged one last goodbye kiss and one last "I love you", and then Roman was off. Off to a strange city in a strange place, and Virgil had no idea when they'd meet again.

Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry

Not even a full day passed and Virgil was already anticipating their first video chat. He felt so distant from his boyfriend already, and it wasn't a feeling he loved.

For even if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart

Roman looked at the unpacked moving boxes stacked one on top of the other in his new apartment and sighed, not eager to start the process of opening and unpacking each and every one. Instead, he opened up his phone and sent a single text. "Hey. Miss you already."

Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar

Virgil smiled at his phone, reading the text and hearing his boyfriend's voice in his head. Roman's excessive amount of heart emojis was endearing at a time like this, when they were separated by several states and a time zone difference. At least this way they could still be connected.

Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
And until you're in my arms again
Remember me

After an incredibly long day in a new city, Roman was relieved to be back at his apartment. He plopped onto his bed and opened up his laptop, calling a certain special guy back in Florida.

He answered, and Roman saw his boyfriend's face again, from his dyed purple hair to his dark eyeshadow to his brown eyes to his cherry lips to his perfect jawline. And all at once he was reminded of his boyfriend's beauty.

And he decided that he couldn't wait to go back home.
