The Boy in The Sky

Chapter Nineteen

Virgil POV

Finally. This has all ended. No more Deciet or all his trouble. I shook my head and remembered all that has happened. I got the man of my dreams, I put an end to snakey boy and I got along with Logan. Aside from the good things there has been major losses. For example, I lost my best friend, and I may never see him again. I'm grateful for all that has happened though. I have grown and learned.

I was sitting on the couch on my phone when I saw my ruby red haired, boyfriend walk in. He walked towards me a nervous expression on his face."V?" Roman asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I turned my bed and hummed in response. " Um, since all of this is over. . . . do you want to go to the Masquerade Dance with me? " He had a nervous look in his eyes, fearful of what I might say.

I blinked. I totally forgot that was coming up! It would be nice to have some fun especially after what happened with Deceit. "Why not?"

The dorkiest grin appeared on my boyfriend's face. Roman wrapped his arms around me, a pur rumbled in his chest. Cute. I felt another thing get a hold of my waist.  "Babe?"

"Hmm? " He hummed in response.

"Your tail, it's doing it again,"

The tail's grasp was then released. I locked eyes with a blushing Roman. "I am so sorry. I can't control it very well."

I chuckled and ran my hand through his soft, ruby hair. "I'll forgive you, if  you kiss me."

Roman looked at me devilishly, I paled. I should NOT have said that. The red head pulled me to his body and then dipped me. I cried out from the sudden action. My boyfriend then peppered my face in kisses. I giggled, fighting him and finally managed to push his face away. "Okay, okay! I forgive you!" I gasped, "Note to self don't say that again," I mumbled the last part.

"Aww, you know you liked it!" Roman laughed. He has better hearing than I thought, probably from the tail and all the enhancements it did to him.

I hid my face his chest and groaned, "I hate you sometimes." He just laughed and patted my head.

*********

I was fidgety the night of the dance. I played with the hem of my plum colored suit that had a black button up underneath and a purple and white striped tie. My back mask testing on my forehead. I began to bounce my leg, a habit I picked up when I was nervous.

I felt a hand on my thigh. I look up to see Roman give me a reassuring look. His smile could make the dark clouds fade away. His voice, could calm any poor soul with a few simple words. My man had a blood red mask on his crown of hair, a crimson suit, similar to mine, with a yellow button up and a black tie. He was stunning. The car we were in suddenly stopped.

"You ready!?" Another voice shouted as the car door opened. There was Patton in a pastel blue, pink, and yellow themed dress suit. It was bold in color but, that was and always has been Patton. I waved at the boy. He and Roman hugged and began to talk about our lives. We told him about Deceit and Remy.

To put it simply, the guy was ready to cut someone's balls off. I snickered at the thought. Although Patton comes off as a total sweet kid, he can be dark and kind of scary. He began to babble on about school and how much we had missed.

Roman and I both groaned. We had a lot of catching up to do. Patton simply laughed and we continued to talk.

When we arrived we could hear the bass of the music vibrate the gym floor. Hundreds of people were there. Each of them in groups that would never be remembered the next day or year. I gave Roman a smile and we sat down at one of the tables. There was a white table cloth with flowers and a lace trimmed fabric under them. They gave off a sweet scent, it filling the entire area.

Patton brought back drinks food all of us and a few of the snacks that were there. We laughed and talked, drinking and eating. Three random girls coming up to us trying to take Roman away to dance. The one on the right had a big bust and long curly hair and shimmering brown eyes. Her dress let everyone have a good look at her clevage. The one on the left had a bubble butt, the way too short dress she wore showing it off. She was blonde with blue eyes. The one in the middle was a combination of both. Big bust and a bubble butt. She wore a very tight, short dress revealing too much for my taste. She had red hair and emerald eyes. "Wanna dance pretty boy?" The middle one asked, acting seductive, making me uncomfortable.

My tailed man smirked, and like the loyal boyfriend he was, rejected them. As they walked away they murmered and sent imaginary daggers at us.

All three of us laughed. "If only they knew I have someone WAY better than those slutty bitches!" Roman laughed.

Patton hit Roman's shoulder, "Language!"

Roman then sat up and bowed in front of me as a song began to play. The beat filling my ears, and I smiled. "May I have this dance?" His emerald eyes locked into mine. The smile that could light the world was caused by me. That made me feel something, something that I cannot find words to say.

I gladly took his hand, and like other couples, gathered on the dance floor. I saw jealous girls flare at me, but that did not matter. I layed my head on Roman's chest and listened to the lyrics as my tailed man sang along to the chorus softly.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
with you between my arms
Barefoot in the grass
Listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it darling,
You look perfect tonight

The second verse began to play, but I was too distracted. Roman dragged me outside, I underneath the darkened, starry sky. The chill air made me shiver. My red head pulled me closer placing his red jacket over my shoulders.

"I love you," Roman said, breaking the comfortable silence, "I really do,"

"Me too Ro, I love you too, " I was pulled into a kiss, when we heard a click of a camera. We snap up and see Patton holding his phone. He quickly hid it and ran. Roman chasing him. I laughed with a ridiculous smile on my face. This was perfect. Just was I had always dreamed for, so far.
