body switchers ~ @bal_anxiety

crap! always the wrong time!

The door opens and I myself walking in. I freak out more. Rocking back and forth still in a lil corner of darkness. I may not be in my body but the voices came with me. So at least Ro Roman I mean doesn't have a panic attack from the voices. But I'll have a panic attack from the voices. Great.

"Virgil? Is that you?" Roman asks. He kneels down to me.

"Depends if you're Roman." I say.

"Guilty as charged." Roman says putting his hands up dramatically.

I roll my eyes. "Do you know how this happened?" I ask nervously. I just need some life preserver to help me stay afloat in my sinking ship.

"I-it was the Dragon Witch." Roman says putting his head down. I look at him my eyes wide. "She cursed me and I didn't think she would do this. Like have me and someone switch bodies. But here we are...." He lets out a sort of laugh.

I keep looking at him my eyes not gluing off his face. "You think this is FUNNY?" I ask my voice getting distorted. Even in Roman's body I can still do that.

"No no!" Roman says snaking his head. "It's just that was a awkward laugh! And stuff." I look away from Roman. "We should tell the others." Roman says after a while of silence.

"N-n-no!!" I yell.

"Why not?" Roman asks hands on hips.

"Because I'm afraid too." I say admitting it. "And I can't have them knowing. That's just below the line and it's already hard enough for me to be the 'bad guy'. I mean I know I haven't been the 'bad guy' for a long time. And that I'm part of the light sides now. It's just that I'm the 1 who stops Thomas from doing a lot of stuff. And I'm the 1 who worries about everything. So I can't add getting questioned by Logan and Patton to the list of things that got me worried. With all that to consider do you still want to tell the others?"

"Yes." Roman says.

"What did I just say!?" I ask.

"I heard you but I don't care about that." Roman says. I roll my eyes and look away. Roman puts his finger under my chin and made me look at him. There was a tension in the air. My breath caught in my lungs. "We're gonna tell the others." Roman whispers softly. "And the Dragon Witch said the spell wears off in a few days."

"That's good.." I whisper back. I try looking away but his finger was still under my chin and that kept me looking at him. He leans in and kisses me! The thing is..... I kinda kiss back. I mean it's kinda romantic the way he looked at me and the way he just whispered to me so softly. And the way his lips touch mine. But it's kinda like I'm kissing myself since we switched bodies. Like at least I know I can kiss like that! But it's nice to be appreciated. I'm usually not. I mean I know I am needed for Thomas to live normally and stuff like that but now I'm really appreciated. Like needed for someone else. I've been touch starved. And now I'm getting kissed by someone I thought hated me. I've always loved him.

Now I know he loves me too. Our lips move in sync with each other.
