Virgil stared at the grand piano in the corner of the room. He looked around.

'No one will know I touched it, right?' Virgil asked himself. He took a deep breath and walked towards it. He sat down on the bench and lifted up the cover. He started to play Into The Unknown. His fingers glided across the piano keys.

He finally pressed the final key and then he heard clapping. He looked up and saw Juliet.

"Bravo! I didn't know you were so talented at playing the piano." Juliet smiled.

"I'm... alright at it." Virgil blushed.

"When I was in college, I chose to pursue acting, but music was also something I wanted to pursue..." Juliet said.

"Really?" Virgil asked.

"Yep! Here, let me perform a song." Juliet sat down next to Virgil on the bench. She pressed her fingers to the keys and started playing Fur Elise. Virgil watched in amazement as Juliet hit the right notes.

Once she was done, Virgil was speechless. Juliet laughed.

"Can I ask you something, Virgil?" Juliet asked.

"Sure," Virgil said.

"When did you know you were gay?" She questioned.

"Hm... I started having feelings for Roman. I always thought he was cute, brave, caring, and very egotistical. But I loved him anyway, despite that." Virgil said.

"How would you feel if you married my son?"

"I would feel great and extremely happy..." Virgil smiled.

"That makes two of us, mi amore." A voice said. Virgil jumped and turned. He saw Roman by the entryway.

"R-Roman..." Virgil blushed and stood up. He walked over to Roman slowly. "How much did you hear?"

"Almost all of it." Roman smiled. Roman then hugged Virgil and kissed him slowly. They pulled away after a few seconds. "I love you, Virgil."

"I love you too, Roman." Virgil smiled.

"Aw..." Juliet cooed.

"M-mom..." Roman muttered.

"Fine, fine. I'll leave you two be." Juliet stood up and walked out of the room.

Virgil looked into Roman's eyes. "When will you propose to me?"

"Who said I will propose?" Roman smirked.

"Um... you clearly radiate momentous occasions," Virgil said. "And no way in Hell can I afford rings."

Roman laughed. "Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll propose soon. Don't you worry." 

"Good." Virgil kissed Roman again. Roman happily returned it.
