Virgil was walking around the house, looking for Emile.

"Where could he be?" Virgil asked himself. "Maybe his room?"

Virgil walked to Remy and Emile's room and knocked on the door. Virgil heard a sniffing noise.

"Emile?" Virgil spoke up.

"Wh-What do you need, Virgil?" He heard a voice ask.

"Are you okay?" Virgil asked.

"I-I'm fine..." Emile said.

"I don't believe you. Please open the door." Virgil said.

He heard a shuffling noise and the door opened, revealing the tear-stained face of Emile.

"Emile? What's wrong?" Virgil asked.

"Come in." Emile steps aside to let Virgil in. Virgil walked inside. Emile closed the door and sat on the bed. Virgil sat next to him.

"So, what is it?" Virgil questioned.

"I'm afraid..." Emile muttered.

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that Remy is cheating on me..."

"What!?" Virgil yelled. "Why on Earth do you think that?"

"He always goes to parties and doesn't come back until three am. He also smells strongly of perfume when he comes home and sometimes he doesn't even come home and just comes home whenever he feels like it." Emile explained and cried even more. Virgil didn't respond, making Emile look at him. "Virgil...?"

"I'll be right back." Virgil stood up and walked out of the room. He went downstairs and saw Remy on the couch scrolling through his phone. Virgil grabbed Remy by the arm and pulled him along.

"Woah! What the fuck are you doing?" Remy asked, clearly annoyed.

"You are going to set things right," Virgil said and pushed him into his and Emile's room. He walked inside and closed the door. "Emile, explain to Remy what is bothering you."

Remy looked at Emile and saw the state he was in. "Emi, what's wrong?"

Emile looked at Remy in the eyes. "Are you... cheating on me?"

"What? What gave you that idea?" Remy asked.

"It's j-just that you go to a lot of parties and don't c-come back until three am. I also notice how you smell strongly of p-perfume and sometimes you don't come back home and I'm just worried th-that you-you're cheating on me..." Emile stuttered through his explaining.

Remy looked at him and grabbed Emile's hands in his own. "Emi... I would never ever cheat on you."

"P-Promise...?" Emile muttered.

"I promise, Emile. You are the only one for me." Remy said.

Emile smiled a bit. "I love you, Remy."

"I love you too, Emi," Remy said and kissed Emile.

Virgil sighed in relief and looked at the couple. "I'll leave you two alone."

And with that, Virgil walked out of the room and closed the door.
