Tonight You Belong To Me

Virgil and Roman eventually went into the diner to eat, and after a meal full of gentle teasing and plenty of hand-kisses, they made their way to Roman's house. As soon as they entered, Remus - who was sitting upside down on the couch, tongue sticking out slightly as he played a game that, by the sound of it, was very violent - greeted them.

"Sup, losers!" he called without looking away from the television screen.

Roman chuckled, rolling his eyes at his brother, before returning the greeting. "Hello to you, too. We'll be in my room if you need us."

Virgil bit back a grin as he was reminded with Roman's words that he was spending the night... with his boyfriend. The two of them made their way to the bedroom down the hall and Roman shut the door behind them before taking a seat on a beanbag chair off to the side of the room, motioning for Virgil to come over. When he did, sinking down into the other beanbag chair, Roman grinned cheekily and grabbed his ukulele from where it was leaning against the wall.

The ukulele was already tuned perfectly - he made sure of it every morning, when he had free time - so he began strumming a random, sweet little tune that made Virgil smile as he watched him in awe, seemingly entranced by the music. It was a little strange; Roman had never played the instrument for someone else. Sure, he had played it plenty of times and he knew Remus was listening in, but it was different playing for someone.

After a few moments of simple strumming, Roman got an idea, remembering Virgil knew how to play the ukulele. He stopped playing and held out the instrument for Virgil to take, and once he did, confusion crossing his face, Roman reached over and picked up his guitar.

"Do you want to play along?" Roman asked as he began tuning the guitar. He didn't play it as often as the ukulele or as the piano that was kept in the living room because there simply wasn't room for it in his bedroom.

Virgil grinned, a light blush painting itself across his cheeks as he nodded. He shifted his hold on the ukulele in his hands so he was holding it in the correct position. "I don't know that many songs, so I'll be improvising... I hope that's okay."

"Of course it's okay. I'll let you take the lead if you'd prefer. What songs do you know how to play?"

The emo thought for a moment, drumming his fingers along the body of the instrument as he did so. "Do you know I'm Yours? Or Tonight You Belong To Me? Those two are really easy to play."

Well, hell. Both of those options were ridiculously romantic and adorable, and the fact that those had been Virgil's first thoughts made Roman blush. "We can do Tonight You Belong To Me."

He watched as the pink across Virgil's cheeks darkened, and the smaller male nodded and nervously began to brush his fingers over the strings of the small instrument in his hands. Roman was absolutely awestruck, a grin tugging at his lips. It took him a moment to break out of his awe, but once he did, he joined in on the playing, his fingers strumming over the guitar strings.

Roman sang the song softly and sweetly, the words tumbling from his lips with a seemingly practiced ease, as if he had sung the song a million times before. And with each perfectly sung word, Virgil began grinning, enjoying the feeling of being serenaded. When it got to the title, he sang along, taking a lower harmony. Hearing Virgil sing along with him, Roman stuttered over his words, his grin widening as his blush darkened. He recovered quickly, however, and the two of them played through to the end of the song before setting down their instruments.

"I love spending time with you, Princey," Virgil confessed after a moment of contentment. It didn't seem to capture exactly what he wanted to say, but it was enough. For now, at least.
