Virgil, Roman, Remy, Emile, Logan, and Patton were all hanging out at Roman's place in the living room. Virgil was snuggled into Roman's side. Virgil closed his eyes and felt something warm touch his temple.

"Tired?" Roman asked. Virgil looked up at him.

"Mhm..." Virgil hummed. Then the doorbell rang. Juliet got up and went to the door. She opened it.

"Remus!?" She yelled, making Roman frown. He got up, much to Virgil's dismay.

"No, come back!" Virgil whined.

"I know the pain..." Patton sighed. Logan kissed Patton's cheek.

"No, you don't," Logan said.

"You don't know me..." Patton crossed his arms.

"Why are you getting moody with me?"

Virgil ignored them and got up from the couch. He walked over to where Roman was. He and his mom were chatting with a guy who looked a bit older than Roman and had a mustache. The guy noticed Virgil and flashed a smile.

"Well, who's the cutie?" The guy winked at Virgil, making Virgil take a step back. Roman tensed up and moved in front of Virgil.

"This is my boyfriend, Virgil," Roman said.

"Boyfriend? Since when?"

"Since a long time ago." Roman crossed his arms.

"A few months ago." Virgil corrected.

"That means I still have a chance." Remus then pushed Roman out the way and slung his arm around Virgil's shoulders. "Helloooo, my name is Remus. A pleasure to meet you, mi querido."

"Your... what?" Virgil asked as Remus grabbed Virgil's hand and kissed it. Virgil got out of Remus' grasp and backed up into Roman. "Woah... um."

"He's mine. Not yours. Get a boyfriend yourself." Roman put his arm around Virgil. The others walked over to them. Remy frowned when he saw Remus.

"Ugh, you're still here?" Remus asked Remy.

"Of course I'm still here," Remy furrowed his eyebrows.

"Remus, what are you doing here exactly?" Roman questioned.

"Isn't it obvious? I came to visit." Remus said.

"But why?" Roman and Remy asked.

"Can't I just visit my family in peace?" Remus shrugged.

"No." Roman and Remy said. Remus frowned.

"Well, I'm staying for a couple of days, you'll have to get used to me being here for a week."

"A week!?" Roman yelled.

"Yep, a week." Remus walked past Roman and flashed a wink to Virgil. "I'm going to my room."

When he left, Roman looked at his mother. She shrugged.

"I didn't ask him to come over." She said and walked away.

"Um... Roman? He made me uncomfortable..." Virgil muttered and tugged on Roman's sleeve.

"He makes everyone uncomfortable," Remy said. "He's a total creep..."

Roman looked at Virgil. "It's okay, mi amore. He won't do anything to you. Not on my watch."
