*Discontinued* Killers in Love

11

"Kiddo?" Virgil was pacing the room as Patton watched with concern. Janus had given them this whole lecture about drinking and shit, saying he was going to be back in the morning to drive them to school. Right now, Virgil was lost in his thoughts. Thoughts like... 

How was Roman able to make him feel so alive? Why did his touch send sparks down his body? Why did that even happen? How was Roman able to make him feel? Why did it make Virgil want him? Why did he want Roman to make him feel more? Why did he want Roman all to himself? 

Virgil has never experienced this need before and it was scaring him. But at the same time, he wanted to latch onto it because he's actually feeling. It rare for Virgil to feel anything but fear. His victims make him feel like he's not alone in his suffering. Patton makes him feel safe and loved like a parent should love their son. But Roman... Roman made him feel ALIVE! He made him feel human... normal... whole.

There is no way Virgil was ever going to let that go. 

Virgil laughed softly as he stared down at the bruise forming on his wrist. Roman was going to regret making Virgil feel something. That princely man awakened something in Virgil that he never knew existed, and it had no plans on dying anytime soon.

"Virgil? What's wrong?" Patton reached out taking the anxious one's hands and Virgil just smiled.

"I don't know." Patton frowned as Virgil glanced off at nothing lost in his thoughts. "What does it mean when you want someone with you?"

"Well, that depends..." Virgil narrowed his eyes in confusion and Patton laughed. "Uh... for example. I want you near because you practically my son and I care about you and want you safe and happy." Virgil smirked as Patton laughed softly again. "I want Logan near because... well, he's cute... and smart... and funny in his own way. He's strong and grounded and..."

"You like him?" Patton blushed and Virgil smiled and his friend started to stammer over his words. "I knew you liked him. You got a thing for nerds."

"VIRGIL!" Virgil laughed as Patton glared at him. "What about you and Roman?" Virgil stopped laughing immediately feeling that need strengthening as Patton rolled his eyes. "Don't think I didn't notice you two slipping upstairs. What exactly were you doing up there for so long?" Virgil couldn't hold back the blush as Patton pressed more. "You guys were gone for a long time and... What happened? You looked completely terrified."

"I just... after today I don't think I can..." A pit formed in Virgil's chest causing him to clench his fists tightly. No... He will be with Roman again. Fuck it if Roman doesn't want him. Roman did something no one has ever been able to do and Virgil was never going to let that go. NEVER! Roman doesn't get a choice. "I don't think now is the time to be talking about this. Remus was a moron and threw a party on a school night... get some sleep."

"But Virg..."

"Get some sleep, Pat." Virgil smiled as he went off to his room, leaving Patton there to his thoughts. Virgil really didn't know what was going on with him. It was a new experience and he wasn't hating it like most new things. In fact... this need of his... It's almost addicting. He feels and that what makes it all so thrilling. Roman showed him something new that makes him feel something. He showed Virgil a side to himself he never saw before... a side Virgil wanted to see a lot more. He really couldn't just let this go. 

Virgil smiled wickedly as he laid back into his bed. He couldn't lose this newfound side to him... this new thrilling feeling that so far only Roman has created in him. He couldn't lose Roman. Roman didn't have a choice. Roman was his and that was that. 

But that was ok because Virgil was Romans.

Roman was currently helping Logan pick up the house as Remus slept passed out on the couch. They had managed to send everyone home at a somewhat not... too late a time. Ok, it was midnight but with Remus, that was actually very early for his parties to end.

"I take it Virgil has caught your attention." It was stated as a question so Roman didn't answer it. He didn't have to anyway, because it was already discussed prior. Roman could hear Logan sigh as he picked up a bottle of the piano. "Roman... It's to soon."

"What are you talking about?" Logan tensed before shaking himself out of his thoughts and turning towards Roman.

"You just killed Jacob, what... 2... 3 days ago. I'm not saying you can't... pursue Virgil. It's just... If you outwardly try to woo him like you've done with all the others people aren't just going to ignore how fast you got over his death." Logan frowned as looked away. "People will start to talk and it won't be long before someone starts to put things together."

"But..."

"Roman, I don't want you to get hurt." Roman froze up as Logan's eyes started to well up. It was extremely rare for Logan to ever show any emotion at all. "You're like a brother to me. You and your family took me in when mine pushed me away... you've been all I had for the longest time and I can't lose that. Even to your own stupidity."

"Hey now, that's not..."

"Roman, I'm being serious. I need you to listen." Roman only nodded as Logan smiled softly. "You have to protect yourself. Do whatever you have to keep yourself safe but you have to tone back the aggression and obsession. If only till things die down. Try getting close to Virgil as a friend first."

"But Logan I want mo..."

"I know that. Trust me Ro, I know you better than you think." Logan frowned as he ran a hand through his hair. "Be friends with him first. Earn his trust... Earn that first and then when things die down you can start to woo him... or better yet get him to fall for you first."

"But I already..."

"Roman listen to me!" Roman reeled back a bit as Logan glared at him. "You can't let people know you love Virgil, otherwise things are going to go to shit fast. So do whatever you have to do to get him to crush on you. You're a manipulative man. I'm certain you could manage it. Get him to crush on you while you're being friends with him. He'll be in your life and just a phrase away from being with you."

"But..."

"It's only temporary. I know Jacob broke your heart. I know you want to just forget about it and move on. I know you want Virgil but if you go for it right now they will suspect something..." Logan narrowed his eyes as he pushed out his words quietly but forcefully to prove a point. "And you will lose Virgil forever." Roman's eyes went wide and Logan knew he had won. "If you want him... You have to wait."
