We're Monsters

Chapter IV - Vigilant Vigilante

Monsters AU

Ship(s): Platonic or Romantic Logince, also Platonic Prinxiety (I don't know what type of ship I'll feature for the rest of the book so for right now, I'll just flip flop it if that makes sense. That means I'll try to add in as many ships as possible probably.)

Warning(s): Fluff...ish?

Summary: The closet is darker than the main room itself, considering it had windows. I hear the clicking again, as I'm dizzy. I hear odd breathing as Roman walks over, slowly, sure to not make a sound. As my eyes fully adjust, Roman slowly guides me downwards into a sitting position. I'm pulled closer to his chest as he hides my face in the crook of his neck. He pulls out my blue pocket knife, as we hear the door bang repeatedly, causing me to jump.

What type of creature is this...and why is it in the laboratory?

I woke up nauseous, wondering why I'm in the closet until it hits me. That's right...there was a creature in the facility. How it got inside is still unknown to me. I attempt to sit up but I feel weight around my waist. I realize I'm sleeping on someone so I look up, seeing it's Roman. I feel a slight heat rise to my cheeks.

Why the sudden heat? I'm not hot. I shake my head out of confusion as I notice that Roman is still tightly holding onto my knife...and onto my waist...rather tightly...and I can feel the heat radiating from his arm...and then I feel his hand against my stomach. I feel rather flustered at this point.

Roman starts to move until he rolls over, resting on his side as his other arm wraps around me, holding me tightly. I stay in this oddly comfortable position, unable to move. I attempted to, but Roman simply groaned and his grip became tighter around my lithe frame. I don't know how long I was stuck inside of the closet with Roman, but eventually Roman began to stir.

Roman yawned, stretching the one arm that wasn't under my body, before rubbing at his eyes. He yawned once more before his eyes fluttered open and he looked at me. He smiled before slowly sitting up allowing me to sit up next to him. He closed his eyes before whispering quietly.

"Do you think it's gone?" He asked, not wanting to be too loud if the creature was still here.

"I don't know. If I knew what time it was that would help...when I woke up, I felt nauseated. I didn't hear anything...considering you held me tightly and I couldn't get up, closer to the door to listen for any breathing..."

"I apologize."

"It is quiet alright." Silence then filled the closet as I noticed I felt rather stiff. That's when I felt it...my anxiety had heightened. Roman and I looked at each other, shock crossing over the both of us. The purple eyed creature?

The two of us stayed quiet as we listened. We heard hissing and growling. The creature from the other night was still here. From the sounds outside of the closet, it sounded like the two were fighting. You could here hissing and growling through the door until it went silent. We waited before we could here scratching at the door and a staticky voice.

"I know your in there...he's gone now, he won't come back now. I promise."

Shocked, Roman and I slowly stood up before opening the closet door, seeing the small, purple and black figure before us.

"I must say, you are quiet vigilant...wait..."

"Wait what?"

"Vigilant...vig-....I've got it!"

"Got what?" I asked out of confusion and curiosity.

"Virgil! We'll call him Virgil! Do you like that? Is that a nice name?"

"Vir-Virgil?" The creature seemed to try out the name before purring and rubbing it's small frame against Roman's legs.

"How did you know we needed help Virgil?" Roman asked a he crouched down, rubbing the side of Virgil's face as the creature continued to purr at the contact.

"I heard your whispers and the clicking. That creature that came after you is aggressive so I scared the creature off." Roman looked up at me, a shock clear on his face.

"Virgil, how would you like to stay with us?"
