*Discontinued* Killers in Love

26

"What's Logan telling him?" Virgil's eyes narrowed as he watched Roman frown. "It's clearly upsetting him. Roman should be happy. That asshole is dead. Lydia is dead. He's safe."

"Kiddo?" Virgil sighed as he sat back down on the bed with a confused frown.

"You don't think... doing that... just upset him do you?" Virgil could feel this... ache in his chest and he did not like it at all. "You don't think he'll... He'll leave me right. I mean... Patton?" Virgil winced as his chest burned. "Pat... D-Dad."

"Virgil, what's wrong?" Patton knelt down in front of him only to freeze seeing the tears in Virgil's eyes. "Virg..."

"Pat, I want Roman." Patton's eyes went wide as Virgil's voice shook. "I want, Roman. I-I want him to hold me. T-To tell me everything's ok. Patton, I need Roman."

"Shh... It's ok Kiddo." Patton bit his lip as he looked out the window to see Logan leading Roman back into the school. "Everything is going to be ok. Roman isn't going anywhere."

"What if he's upset, Dad? What if he's mad at me? What if he's scared? Dad... He doesn't like Anxiety. You heard what he said, right? What if he finds out I am Anxiety and he leaves me..."

"Virgil, Roman is NEVER going to leave you." Virgil jumped at the sudden seriousness in Patton's tone. Patton's eyes were filled with tears as he held Virgil's arms tight. "He's never leaving you. Trust me, Kiddo. Roman wouldn't ever do that."

"But... But, Ro, he... He didn't look happy at all. Dad, I'm scared." Virgil tore himself free from Patton as he scrambled back pulling his knees in as he cried. "I'm scared. I'm scared, Dad. I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose this. He makes me feel alive... normal... human... I don't want to lose him."

"Virgil..."

"NO!" Virgil shook like crazy as his anxiety raged through him. "I fucked up. I fucked up. That's all there is. I fucked up. He's going to leave me. He's going to hate me. He's..." Arms wrapped around him, making him freeze up as he slowly lifted his head to see Patton at the end of the bed with Logan.

"I am never leaving you, Virgil." Virgil's eyes slowly moved to the man holding him to find Roman smiling at him. The princely one buried his head into Virgil's shoulder as Virgil gasped out in broken tear filled shock, his nerves eating away at him. "I love you."

"I-I don't... I don't understand... Just because you say that doesn't mean..." Roman frowned as Virgil shook in his arms. "There just words. My parents loved to say them in front of a camera but the moment we were alone they never even spared me a glance." Roman jumped up eyes wide as Virgil just stared off at nothing. "Saying you love me doesn't mean shit, Princey. I don't know what you mean when you say it." Roman took the boy's hands drawing his attention as he smiled softly. 

"Virgil, I love you." He leaned in brushing their lips together gingerly as he spoke. "I love you so much... my heart wouldn't beat without you. Without you... I'm not..." Virgil pressed their lips harder together cutting the man off before he could finish and Roman melted into him. Virgil wrapped his arms around him as Roman pulled him onto his lap. When they finally pulled away Roman couldn't help but just stare at those beautiful purple eyes. "You're my everything, Virgil. Without you... I'm nothing but heartbreak."

"Don't leave me, Roman." Virgil leaning in resting his head against the boy's chest as he clenched his shirt tightly. "Please... I don't... I don't think I could take it. I don't know... what I would do if you left me." Roman's eyes met with Logan's as the two shared an unspoken message. Virgil might not know what he would do but Roman did. 

"You won't ever have to experience that, Virgil." Roman smiled as he gazed down lovingly at the man on his lap. "I'll never break your heart. I promise you, Love."

"And here I was just checking up on your lot." The whole place froze at the new voice. Roman froze in a fear that Virgil recognized instantly. "I thought you to were 'just friends' Roman." Roman's eyes went wide as Virgil growled, his eyes darting over to see the redhead from the other day and Roman quickly pulled him in to stop him from doing anything.

"Kai..." The boy just laughed as he held his hands up in surrender. "What are you..."

"Hey, there's no judgment here, dude. I am not going to stand in the way of whatever this is. You to wanna be together... go ahead." Virgil frowned as he looked over to see Kai giving this look. "But keeping it hidden like this only makes you both look... suspicious. What... were you cheating on Jacob before..."

"YES!" Roman screamed out shocking everyone and Logan facepalmed. Kai shot the man a confused look as Roman practically squeezed Virgil close to him. "Yes. That's it. That's why I didn't want to tell anyone."

"Roman..."

"Shut up, Logan." Logan's eyes widened as Roman glared at him. "I was seeing Virgil before..." Virgil smiled as Roman continued suddenly realizing what this would mean. "Jacob and I were drifting and I met Virgil online. Things just kind of... took off. I didn't want people to know because I didn't want them thinking Jacob found out and..."

"You didn't want them thinking that was what called the accident." Roman nodded as he basically cuddled Virgil close who laughed in his ear. 

"Technically, Jacob and I had broken up long ago... we just kept up appearances to minimize the drama. He was seeing another man but... I couldn't tell you his name." Kai nodded believing every word as Logan just stood there completely dumbfounded.

"It's ok, Ro. Nobody would ever think you would hurt Jacob. I'm just happy to see you happy and I know the others will to. The only thing is..." Kai frowned as he scratched his arm anxiously. "Do you... Do you really think Anxiety..."

"Don't." Roman frowned as Kai tensed up. "Anxiety is in Washington. What that was... was probably some copy cat." Roman's eyes went to Virgil again before he frowned. "Probably someone who knows where Virgil and Patton are from."

"You don't think they're trying to frame them do you?" Kai jumped in shock and Logan was seriously not understanding how any of this was actually working. There was just no way Kai should be believing any of it yet here he was... believe it. "Don't worry about a thing, Roman. We'll all stand by you... and Virgil. Your the prince of this school. If anyone even tried to mess with you they're in for a rude awakening." 

"Tell me about it." Both Virgil and Roman spoke making them both freeze up before laughing.

"God, I love you, Virge." Virgil smiled as he brushed Roman's hair out of his face.

"I know, Princey."
