Song: A modern masterpiece (I tortured myself by listening to it on repeat while proofreading)
Roman was scrolling through his phone while laying in bed. Specifically he was on Pinterest looking at drawings of cool knights to procrastinate from life. Virgil came in and literally flopped down on top of him.
"Oh noooooo I'm being crushed by an extremely handsome guy" Roman cried out dramatically actually kind of feeling like the air was going out of him. This was his ideal way to die but he'd rather not die at all right now.
"Kind of rude talking about yourself" Virge teased moving so he was sitting beside him.
"What?" He asked completely clueless.
"You're the extremely handsome guy, get it?" Virgil replied.
"Oooohhh" He laughed "That's funny that you think that. Sooo how did the therapy go?" The emo had just gotten back from it.
"I have a theory" Virgil did his best to immediately change the subject because he was not ready to talk about therapy yet. "You know how Picani mentions his husband like all the time. What if principle Sanders is his husband"
Ro shoot his head back giggling. "If I was still going to the sessions I would ask him next time"
"Wait that's a choose you can do? To just stop going? It gives me so much anxiety just thinking about going to therapy it would nice to not. Like I know it helps but also therapy is so bleh you know"
"Indeed. Technically I'm not allowed to stop going but I run away and hide instead of going" He said with a smile.
"That doesn't sound like a smart thing to do princey"
He did a fake offended gasp before posing dramatically "What? It's not like I need it. I'm a knight! A prince! I don't need stuff like that" Virgil opened his mouth to disagree but Ro talked over him "Soooo I love talking about me but time for you my love, how did it go?"
"Pretty good I guess" He replied pulling Ray (the rat) out of his pocket. Yes he did take the animal with him to every therapy session because it made him calmer. "Picani's says I'm doing better and I think I am" He looked at his arm, the scars were hidden by his dark hoodie "I hope I am" He mumbled.
Roman pressed a kiss to his cheek "Mi amor, you're doing great"
"Heh" He put Ray down on the bed and petted his soft head. He forced a smile while fiddling with the strings of his hoodie "Ok so I guess it would be best to just rip it off like a band aid sooo I'moffsuicidewatch" He babbled out feeling anxiety bubble up inside of him.
"Really?" Ro asked.
"Yeah"
With a grin Roman picked him up and spun him around before pulling him into a hug. "That's great! I'm so proud of you"
Virgil blushed keeping his arms around the other's neck. "Now when I'm not under surveillance so I don't...do something bad to myself I'm technically allowed to leave the school grounds. You know what that means" He smiled genuinely this time.
"DATES????" Roman exclaimed to which Virgil nodded. "I want to do something romantic like in a disney film. Like go on a horse ride or sing duets in the moonlight in a park"
"So you want to do something corny and cliche"
"As long as I get to do it with you" He cooed pressing their foreheads together.

It was a nice day outside. The sun was shining, birds were singing. Dandelions was growing in the cracks of the cement. On days like these people like Virgil and Roman would have a good date. It was a lousy Sunday so not many people were out in town. The couple walked along the sidewalk. Their hands not quite together only connected by their pinkies.
