~Virgil pov~

We had opened up about an hour ago and the morning rush was about to begin. The door opened and the first customer walked in.

"Hi welcome to Side of Coffee. What may I get for you today?" I look up and I see him. This guy came in every morning for the past four months. He had brown hair and light skin. Needless to say he was cute, but can be really.....extra.

"Hey Virgil. I would like a mocha frappachino with skim almond milk, double shot, half whip please. The name will be Roman." He looked up and smiled. I put in his order and instead of putting his name, I put Ramen. He gets this order everyday and it's really hard to make.

"That would $12.74 and I will get started on that right away." He payed and walked to the same table in the corner that he goes to everyday. I started making his coffee and got done with it pretty quickly 'cause I've been making the same thing for him every day day for the past four months. I couldn't help but think about giving him my number as I gave him his coffee, but I don't even know if he's into guys. I know I am. Obviously. When I got done I took it to the counter.

"Mocha frappachino with skim almond milk, double shot, half whip for Ramen!" He comes up and grabs his coffee. Our hands brush against each other lightly. I blush slightly. He smirks and walks out. I stand there as more customers come in and I take their orders. As I make their coffees, I keep wondering what Romans' smirk was for. Before I knew it, it had become time to close. I clean up and lock up the shop. I turn the corner to go home but what I see is Roman. He is sitting on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. He has bruises all over him and only looks half conscious. I squat next to him and try to stay calm.

"Roman. Hey, come on. I'm gonna take you to my place and get you cleaned up." He ever so slightly nodded his head that if i wasn't paying attention I would have missed it. I pick him up bridal style and start walking home. He puts his arms around my neck and nuzzles himself against my chest. I try not to blush but my fave was already a bright crimson. Thank God it was dark enough so no one can see me. I make it to my house and try to unlock the door. After a few tries I get it and the door swings open. I set Roman down on the couch and turn go get the first aid kit. I see he has a few cuts on his arms. His disney t-shirt had a rip in the sleeve. I grab a wet rag and start gently dabbing at the cuts to clean up some of the blood. He put some gauze on the deeper ones and bandaids on the rest. I gently shook him to see if he was still conscious. He opened his eyes slightly then a little bit more. When his eyes were fully open, I stop shaking him. His eyes widen with realization. He tried sitting up but I told him to lay back down.

"Roman, calm down. I found you outside the shop half conscious and brought you here. I cleaned up your wounds and now I need to know what happened to you." He looked scared. I think I should just let him rest for now.

"Uh, Virgil can I talk to you later about this? I have a killer headache and can barely see." He laid back down and I got up to put the stuff away. I then grab my phone and call a my friend Logan. He was extremely intelligent and probably knew what to do in this situation. It rang for a few seconds then a tired voice answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Logan I need you to come over like now."

"Why? I have work to do."

"I'll explain later just get your ass over here."

"Fine I'm coming and don't let Patton here you say that." He hung up. Patton was like the father I never had. He basically adopted me because I didn't have any parents but he was really strict about cussing. A few mintues later there was a knock at the door. I open it to see a tired Logan. He comes in and I fill him in on what happened. He looks at Roman and quickly checks his breathing.
