Virgil didn't give Roman a response until they saw each other the next day during lunch.

They said their hellos and made conversation until they finished eating to talk somewhere more private, both knowing that they had the same important topic in mind and they couldn't risk someone over hearing it in the crowded lunchroom.

After lunch they went onto a bench that was on the school's field. As the day was a bit colder than average and the sky was overcast hardly a soul was outside, let alone close enough to hear them.

Once they sat down, Roman was first to speak.

"I was feeling really good and confident after meeting your dad's, which prompted me to say that I was ready." He then paused for a second. "And after thinking about I realized that I am, kind of."

Virgil gave him a look to prompt him into continuing.

"I can't come out to my parents, at least not until I know for sure that I won't be homeless or that I'll have someone ready to get me if I'm hurt by them."

"I get it Roman." Said Virgil,"Coming out is a process. We can come out to certain people and see how it goes. We can start with my dad's or the Drama Club cause I know those places will accept us. Most of the clubs queer anyway." Virgil added trying to crack the seriousness of the situation with a joke at the end. He wasn't trying to be insensitive to Roman's fears, but this was tough for them both (Though Virgil would never say that his situation was currently like Romans.) And Virgil was trying his hardest to be supportive. Though that was hard when he now had thoughts of Roman being homeless or being physically hurt. (He's already hates how this has hurt Roman mentally.)

Nonetheless Virgil's attempt to make things lighter seemed to work as Roman gave a light smile. "Yeah. Anyway yes I do want to come out to some, and I'm glad you mentioned theater as that's who I was thinking we could start with. What do you think?"

Virgil nodded his head. "That's a good starting place, we can come out soon if you like. And I'm already out to them so I don't think it will be too much of a shocker to anyone and if it is, I'm sure most of the group would shut done any negative comments."

Roman nodded and asked if they could do it today by acting couplier than usual and just say they were together if someone asked. Virgil agreed. Roman gave a small grin, looked around quickly, and then kissed Virgil softly on the forehead when he was sure it was clear. Virgil smiled at this and responded by gently squeezing Roman's hand.

They heard the bell signaling that lunch was over and the two sighed and separated hands to go their separate ways, at least until it was time for play rehearsal.

They met up at a classroom around the hall from the Drama room, right after their last period. Virgil hugged Roman, and reminded him that they only had to do this if he was ready. Roman nodded though there was still doubt lingering in his eyes.

Virgil sighed but grabbed his hand to show support. Roman smiles at the jester.

They walked in the classroom like that, their hands conjoined and slightly smiling. A few members gave them a few looks, but most just simply went about their ways, which was a relief to them both.

After they did their respective jobs (Roman acting and Virgil helping out with setting props up) they finished practiced with their hands held together. Virgil even kissed his Roman's hand.
