Roman's eyes filled with tears of rage and he ran out the door crying. Virgil wanted to run after him, but decided to give him some space first. About ten minutes later Virgil went out looking for Roman, hoping he hadn't ran far. Virgil spotted Roman crying on a bench near the station. Virgil carefully walked over and sat on the opposite side of the bench. 

"Roman?" Virgil spoke as softly as possible

"I-it's not ok" Roman cried

"I know..."

"I-I couldn't do a-anything about the s-situation… I-It's not o-ok…" Roman cried harder

"Can I hug you?"

Roman nodded and Virgil pulled Roman into a tight hug. Roman hugged back just as tight and sobbed. 

"S-sorry..." 

"No, no don't be sorry. None of this is your fault not even a little bit" 

"I-It feels l-like it is… if I-I only said n-no… I-I was too d-drunk to do a-anything t-though..."

"It's ok darling, it will be ok, your the victim here" 

"B-but I didn't s-say anything so n-nothing can h-happen..." Roman sobbed

"You can get a restraining order on him, and I'll help you move out asap"

"I-I know, I-It just s-sucks…"

"I'm here for you ok?"

"T-Thank y-you..."

"Do you have a place to go?"

"U-Until that r-restraining o-order is in p-place I don't w-wanna go back h-home, so no..."

"You can stay with me if your comfortable with it" 

"T-That would b-be awesome t-thank you…"

"I have a roommate, but you'll get along great if your not comfortable you can just hang out with me"

Roman nods and unwraps his arms from around the smaller man. He wipes his tears away and stops crying.
