Don't Let Me Be Gone

Twenty One

Virgil POV
When I woke up, I felt like I was being blinded.  This is definitely not my room.  I open my eyes to bright white walls and Disney posters everywhere.  The room was just too bright, despite the fact that it was still raining outside. 

I turned over to see a sleeping Roman.  Strangely enough, I didn't feel too much anxiety over being in the same bed as Roman.

I'm more happy.  I know for sure Roman likes me.  And I guess I do have feelings for the  prince. 

Are you trying to be happy?

This isn't going to work out

Do you really think he likes you?

Loves you even?

No one would be stupid enough to fall for someone like you

I shut my eyes tight, trying to block out Deceits voice.  Why can't he ever just leave me alone.  But than I had an idea. 

I started shaking Roman awake.  He opened his eyes slowly, still half asleep. 

"What's wrong Virgil?"  He asked slowly. 

"Do you love me?" I asked.  His eyes snapped open instantly and he turned bright red.  But his demeanor quickly changed.  He smirked and kissed me passionately on the lips. 

"Yes I love you my emo nightmare."  He said.  "Now lay down so I can cuddle you again."  I laid down smiling.  Deceits wrong, Roman loves me. 

"Oh and by the way, Patton and Logan know that we're...kinda...in love...so to say."  Said Roman awkwardly.  Instantly I felt huge amounts of anxiety. 

"What?"  I asked sharply, sitting up. 

"They came to check on us, and found us in here together.  I talked to them about it and they're okay with it."  Roman explained gently, putting his hand on my shoulder. 

"Are you sure?"  I asked, my anxiety getting the best of me. 

"Positive."  He whispered, pulling me into another passionate kiss.  "And I have reason to believe that they're dating." 

"Oh really?" 

"They were holding hands the entire time I was talking to them, they are constantly cuddling with each other, and have you noticed that Logan's become super protective of Patton and shows like genuine, I guess, love towards Patton."  Said Roman excitedly. 

"I guess it kinda makes sense."  I agreed.  We went back to silence for a bit after I laid back down.

"Are you hungry?" Roman asked after a while.

"No..." I told him, but my stomach growled.

"When was the last time you ate?" Asked Roman sternly, pushing himself into a sitting position. I stayed silent for a while, not meeting his eyes.

"Virgil." Said Roman. "Seriously, how long has it been.  Don't lie to me." 

"Well..." I said slowly. "The day I was hiding in my room I didn't eat. And I didn't eat yesterday when I was with you guys. So I guess I haven't eaten since before I...attempted...yeah..." I trailed off.

"That is not good." Said Roman slightly angry.

"I don't care." I whispered.

"Well I care.  I care a lot about you."  Roman told me, getting out of the bed.  "Even if you won't take care of yourself, I'm going to take care of you."
