A/N
The song is "I'm not a robot" by Marina and The Diamonds"

I go to the pond, and Virgil is sitting, quietly singing again, with his eyes closed. I listen before going up to him,
"You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated
Then loved loved loved for what you're  not"
I join in, skipping the chorus.
"You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and never trusted
But you're so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never commiting to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing"
"Hey, Roman."
"Hi, Virgil."
I sit with him, and he lays down in the flowers. I lay with him.
"Roman?"
"Yes?"
"I want to sing for you."
He holds my hand, moving closer to me. He lays his head on my chest.
"You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When sky's are grey
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When sky's are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away"
"You really don't know how well you can sing, Virgil." I wrap my arms around him, and he leans into my touch.
"You must not know how amazing you are, Roman."
"Virgil?"
"Yes?"
"I'm going to do something. Punch me if you want me to stop."
"Don't think I'll do that."
I kiss him.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
