Didn't Know { Book 1 }

~Chapter 16: Coming Out~

(Art not by me! Obviously...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Virgil's POV~

The kiss was soft and slow. He was kissing me as if I was so fragile. Sadly, we had to depart from each other due to Oxygen.

"I'm going to take that as you aren't straight, whatsoever?" Roman sighed.

"You got that right," I said.

He laughed. "So, you wanna be my boyfriend."

I pretended to think. "Hm... I don't know. Sounds like a lot of work and- of course, I'll be your boyfriend, you idiot."

"Right... so, want to watch something?"

"Conspiracy theories?" I asked.

"Whatever you want, mi amore." He said. I blushed as he called me that. "Hm, it looks like I'll have to call you mi amore from now on if it'll make you blush like that."

He picked me up bridal style and carried me to the couch where we watched conspiracy theories. I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep on Roman's shoulder.

~Roman's POV~

I felt something touch my shoulder. I saw that it was Virgil. I smiled softly and adjusted us on the couch to where I was against the back of the couch and I was holding him tightly. I kissed his head and held him tighter. I felt my eyes get heavy and I fell asleep.

~Remy's POV~

Emile and I had both arrived back at the dorm room. I used my keys to open the door and what I saw on the couch was surprising. Roman was holding Virgil tightly on the couch. They were both asleep. I was shocked, but Emile was taking loads of pictures. It seemed normal for him.

"Em, what are you doing?" I asked with a tone. He stopped and stared at me.

"Um... Virgil might be gay?" He said although it sounded like a question.

"What do you mean?"

"L-listen, Virgil told me he likes Roman-"

"He-what!?" I exclaimed and Emile covered my mouth.

"Sh... they might wake up." I removed his hands from my mouth.

"How long have you known?"

"...for about 2 weeks." Emile looked down.

"And he hasn't told me? His cousin?"

"Look. Things change, Remy. Your cousin has changed a lot. He has anxiety, depression, he used to cut himself all the time, he almost committed suicide. If you were his family, you wouldn't be upset, instead, you would be thankful that he told you in the first place." After he said that, I was shocked. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I looked down and smiled.

"You're right. I am thankful. I just know Roman is going to take care of him." I frowned. "I'm a horrible cousin."

"No, you're not." A voice spoke up. We both looked over to the couch to see Virgil and Roman both sitting up. "You're not a horrible cousin. You're the best one I've ever had. I'm sorry for not telling you."

I smiled and nodded and looked at Emile. "Em, I'm sorry. I just get frustrated easily."

"It's fine." He said and hugged me. I tensed up and hugged back.
