Mirror Man - Prinxiety AU

"Virgil, there are scars all over your chest."

TW: Swearing, Mentions of abuse, Bad things. 

For the first time in a while, there was yelling.

But this time it was different people fighting.

People I didn't recognise.

The next thing I know, the sound of gunshots came from downstairs.

The police were at the house.

I don't want to remember the rest of that evening.

Virgil POV

"Bye." I mumbled to Remi and Remy as they left. Roman suddenly burst into laughter, causing me jump.

"What the heck?" Logan said. I nodded caustionaly in agreement.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm doing, but I just felt like laughing." He said in between giggles. I rolled my eyes fondly and grabbed onto his arm.

"Come on, we can't be late to P.E." Patton said, dragging Logan with him.

~~~{ Time Skip }~~~

I got off of the bus with Roman and started walking towards home.

"Do you ever just think about how weird hands are?" I suddenly said. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me.

"Why the hell would you say that?" He asked me. I shrugged and grabbed his hand.

"I've had a lot of time to think about this, and you have the pleasure of being the one who has to listen to it." I said. He looked away and coughed.

"I'm sorry if it annoys you." I mumbled. He squeezed my hand and turned to me.

"Virgil. It's fine. I don't mind, honestly. You can do whatever you want. And nothing you could do would ever annoy me, ok?" He said. I smiled and nodded. We were so close.

"HEY FUCKERS! ROMAN, STOP BEING SO GAY! MUM AND DAD ARE BACK AND THEY WANT TO MEET YOU, VIRGE." Maddie yelled from the door. I jumped in fright at the sudden loud noise and tightened my grip on Roman's hand. He pulled me towards the house and giggled.

"It's ok. Mum and Dad are really nice." He whispered to me. I nodded and followed him inside. A lady with short ginger hair and a warm face greeted me.

"Hey, Ro! How was your week? I'm sorry Dad and I took so long, but I'm glad you and Maddie are ok." She said.

"Mum, it's fine." Roman said, moving towards her and pulling her into a hug.

"It's good to see you." He whispered. They pulled away and her gaze turned to me.

"And you must be Virgil! Mad has told me all about you, and you're welcome to stay with us for as long as you need." She said. I nodded slightly in response and looked at Roman. He understood my silent plea and walked over to me.

"It's ok, Virge. I'm right here." He whispered, squeezing my hand.

"T-thank you, Mrs Kings." I stammered.

"Oh, no need to formal! You can call me Kathleen." She said. I smiled shyly and nodded.

"Well then, you boys can go if you want, and I'll start making dinner. How does nachos sound?"

"Great, Mum." Roman said, already have way out the door. Kathleen rolled her eyes fondly and went back to getting things out of the pantry.

"Oh, and Virgil?" She asked. I turned around at the mention of my name.
