Sanders Sides ONE SHOTS

Kisses and Paint Splatters • Prinxiety

Yoooo let's knock the angst out of the picture this month! "Any special occasion?" You may be asking, well, I'll tell you!

I'm starting this thing on the Thomas Amino (and posting it to Wattpad & AO3) where I write a one shot for EVERY SINGLE ship that includes the five sides. I'm, of course, doing this in spirit of Pride Month!

I'm calling it the "Pride Month Extravaganza".

Hopefully I'll actually stick with this.

So, this is story 1/12. Enjoy :)

High school AU. They're both 17.

Warnings:
- About four swear words
- Spoilers for Big Hero 6 if, for some reason, you haven't watched it yet (and you want to)
- Discussion of neglectful and homophobic parents

"Roman? Romannnn? Babe? Sweet prince? Talk to me, baby," Virgil whined incessantly as he poked a little too harshly at Roman's back with every syllable that escaped his lips. Roman sighed in annoyance at his boyfriend's antics and slammed his paintbrush down onto the easel, causing Virgil to flinch backwards.

"What is there to say?"

The dark tone of Roman's voice sent shivers down Virgil's spine. He didn't like seeing Roman like this. When Roman falls into a rabbit hole of self esteem issues, he tends to get angsty and irritable. It admittedly scared Virgil.

"I dunno," Virgil muttered, staring at his bulky black army boots. "Talk to me about what you're feeling. Maybe taking a break from the painting will ease your anxiety a little bit."

Roman spun around in his seat and glared at Virgil, who lifted his head up when he heard the sound of shuffling. "What is this? Couple's therapy? It's not like talking about my problems will improve my painting abilities, Virge."

"I didn't say it would," Virgil defended, holding his hands up to his sides of his head. "I was just suggesting you take a break. You've been at this for an hour. Class ends in, like," Virgil clicked on his phone to check the time. "Fifteen minutes, anyway."

Roman and Virgil typically spent their spare classes together, doing whatever they can manage to find in the crowded school. Recently, a painting competition had arisen in the school and Virgil, being the motivating boyfriend that he is, convinced Roman (well, more like "begged until Roman agreed") to paint something for it. Roman was rumoured one of the best artists in the entire school, and Virgil couldn't agree more.

So, ever since Roman had signed up for the contest, he and Virgil has spent all of their spare classes together in the art room so that Roman could work tirelessly  on his magnificent piece of artwork. 

"Come on, babe, put your painting back on the shelf to let it dry, and let's get out of here," he placed a gentle kiss to his boyfriend's soft, golden-brown, caramel locks. "Only one more class, and then you can come over, okay? My parents are out for the week so we can hog the T.V and watch movies all we like," A loving smile graced Virgil's lips as he ran his hand soothingly up and down Roman's arm. He managed to hold in a victory laugh as he saw a smile twitch its way onto Roman's lips as well.

"Okay," Roman nodded. "You're right. I need a break."

"I know I'm right," Virgil playfully gloated. "Your painting looks amazing so far, Ro, and if anyone says otherwise, I'll slap them with a wet sponge."
