"Can I hug you?"
Roman nodded and Virgil hugged him tightly, Roman hugged back and cried a little. Virgil rubbed his back in small circular motions and tried to calm him down. Eventually, Roman sniffled and stopped crying.
"Are you ok?"
"Not really…"
"What can I do to help?"
"J-just don't leave please… he's tried to do this before… please don't leave…"
Virgil felt a heaviness in his stomach and his throat all scratchy. It felt like he just had to swallow a boulder whole. He prayed that the answer to his question was no. He tightened the hug and piped out his question.
"D-did he s-succeed?"
Roman started sobbing profusely and nodded.
"I-It was after one of my family members passed. I-I got really drunk a-and he took advantage o-of that…"
Virgil felt his heart drop, and his temperature rise. How could someone do that to another human being!? It's not right and definitely not humane! Taking advantage of someone just because they're vulnerable! He was already in a terrible state and to do that to him is pure evil! He should feel so f*****g terrible because that's what kind of person he is! A terrible sorry excuse for human existence!
"O-ok. I'm going to sleep on the couch ok?"
They let go of each other and Virgil lays a supportive hand on Roman's shoulder. Roman tried his hardest not to cry. He hates crying in front of people. Especially drunk.
"I think you need some sleep"
"Thank you Anx"
Roman walked into his room and passed out as soon as his head hit his pillow. Virgil propped up one of the couch pillows and layed down. It took awhile for Virgil to fall asleep, but once he did, he was out like a light.
