"Oh...okay..see ya." He then vanished and sunk down against his door in tears as flashbacks flooded

Tw: mentions of Self harm and rape

His head hurting from crying and bags under his eyes. But, hey. What else was New? He heard a a slight thud on the other side of the door "hi, Roman." He said, without a second thought "how'd ya know?" Roman asked. "You're the only one that makes that thud against my door. What do you want?" Virgil said, opening his door and Roman fell backwards. "Viiirgiiiil!" Roman whined playfully, making Virgil giggle slightly "I knew I could make you laugh." Roman said, getting up. Virgil rolled his eyes playfully "Is that all?" Virgil asked "No. Um...actually-" Roman tripped and fell into Virgil, both his and Virgil's face turned dark red. "Sorry" he said, sitting up "it's fine. Anyway, what did you want to tell me?" Virgil said, sitting on his bed. Roman sat beside him and saw something reflect in the light "What's that?" He asked, leaning to grab the object. Virgil grabbed his hand "Nothing" he said. "Oh, c'mon." Roman said, getting a hold of the object seeing it was a blade. Virgil froze, Roman pulled up Virgil's sleeve and aaw the endless cuts up to his elbow. "Virgil...why?" Roman asked, putting the blade down "Why not, Roman?" Virgil muttered in response "I asked first." Roman protested "so, you can't think of a why not?" Virgil asked, reaching for the blade. Roman moved the blade back "Virgil. I asked why." Roman said "BECAUSE, ROMAN! I WAS RAPED WHEN I WAS 14 AND I'VE BEEN ASSULTED AND ABUSED EVER SINCE THEN! EVERY SINGLE BOYFRIEND I'VE HAD HAS TRIED TO KILL ME!" Virgil yelled as his voice broke and he sobbed. Roman froze. Virgil had been through more crap in 3 years than Roman, or Logan or Patton, in their whole life. "Virgil...I didn't think about-" "Of course you didn't, Ro. Because you're not me. And you've never been through what I have." Virgil said, choking back tears. Roman sighed "I've experienced one of thoose things. Heartbreak." He said. "What do you mean?" Virgil asked "E-Everytime you were in a relationship...it hurt because-" Roman cut himself off "because..?" Virgil asked "BECUASE I LOVE YOU!" Roman shouted, not even realizing it. Virgil froze, he trusted Roman. But, the amount of times he'd head 'I love you' and it not being real was crazy. "I know that's probably a little overwhelming-" "Ro" "especially right now-" "Roman?" "So I'm sorry if-" Roman was cut off by Virgil's lips on his. It didn't take Roman long to melt into the kiss, pulling Virgil in by the waist. The pulled apart panting slightly "I love you too" Virgil said with a slight smile. Roman smiled, kissing Virgil again. Virgil moaned into the kiss, making both him and Roman blush. Roman pulled Virgil onto his lap as Virgil squeaked slightly "too much?" Roman asked, pulling away "no, just unexpected." Virgil responded. Patton walked in "Hey, kiddo-AWWWEEEEE!" he squealed, seeing the two kiss. They pulled away with a deep blush "Patton!" Virgil said, hiding his red face. "Aw. Why'd you two stop? You're adorable!" Patton said, sitting next to Virgil. Roman's eyes went to the blade and he went to talk but then remembered how hurt Virgil looked when Logan told about his history with Keither, so, he kept his mouth shut. "Were you gonna say something, kiddo?" Patton asked "no." Roman said, his arm still wrapped around Virgil. Patton pulled out his phone "picture?" He asked, pretty much jumping up and down, hoping they'd say yes. "Patton, you know how I am about pictures." Virgil said "aw, please Kiddo?" Patton asked with puppy dog eyes. "Fine." Virgil rolled his eyes playfully as Roman held him by his waist. He made a small squeak noise but smiled a small bit fir the picture. "Yay! Thanks, Kiddo!" Patton exclaimed "oh!I was coming to say breakfast is ready." He added as he left. "Okay" Virgil and Roman said in fusion. "Let's go eat." Roman said, getting up "not hungry." Virgil responded. "The last time you pulled the 'not hungry' card you ended up in the hospital. I'm pretty sure you don't wanna go there again" Roman said, pulling at Virgil's arm. "Ro, I'm not hungry. I'll eat when I feel like it." Virgil said, tugging his arm back. "Virgil...when was the last time you ate?" Roman asked, sitting back down. "Why?" Virgil asked jn response. "You're light as a feather, you could barley pull your arm away from me, you look light headed, and you're more pale than normal." Roman said. "Roman, I'm fine." Virgil said, with a slight gulp. Roman pulled Virgil to his feet and Virgil immediately dropped to his knees becuase of lack of strengh. "I'm bringing you food." Roman said, helping Virgil back onto his bed. "Ok..." Virgil said, laying down. Roman came back with two plates

~an hour later~

"Hey, Virgil!" Roman said, a bit too loud, making Virgil jump. "Sorry. But look at this!" Roman said, showing Virgil the front news page where is read "Anthony Vento JR and Keither Vanorden arrested under the charges of assault and domestic violence"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A large smile spread across the two's faces. Roman leaned over and connected his lips with Virgil's, Virgil being pushed back due to his lack of strength and Roman's heavy build. The two released the kiss after a while, panting a bit. "I love you, Virge." "I love you too, Ro."

And the rest, as they say, is history.
