Virgil and Roman were relaxing in bed, Roman's arms were secure around Virgil. It was just another lazy Saturday. Virgil nuzzled into Roman. Roman kissed Virgil's head.

"Roman...?" Virgil spoke up.

"Yes, Virgil?" Roman asked.

"When did you first fall in love with me?" Virgil questioned.

Roman laughed a bit. "I gave you a purple rose, didn't I?"

"You did, but..." Virgil trailed off.

"You're still uncertain how I fell in love with you?"

"Yeah..." Virgil muttered.

"Virgil... I fell in love with how you looked. I analyzed every bit of you-"

"That's creepy."

"As I was saying, I fell in love with you for your inside and outside-"

"That's even more creepy..."

"Virgil." Roman smiled and hugged Virgil. "I love your smile, the way you look, your personality. You make me feel so happy and I love you so much..."

"I love you, dork," Virgil said.

"I love you too, emo," Roman said. "How about we go to the cafe with Deirdre tomorrow and see if those twins are there?"

"Sounds like a plan." Virgil smiled and then felt tears in his eyes.

"Virgil? Are you okay?" Roman asked, seeing the tears.

"I'm fine... it's just that Deirdre is growing up too quickly for my liking." Virgil clung to Roman.

"Aw..." Roman hugged Virgil tightly. "It's okay. She won't leave you behind."

"I'm scared she will grow up too fast. What if she wants to get married at nineteen!?" Virgil kept talking about the what if's, making Roman roll his eyes and kiss him.

Roman pulled away. "She won't. Not without your consent, alright?"

"Alright..." Virgil muttered. Roman hugged Virgil again and didn't let go. Virgil nuzzled into his chest. "What time is it?" Virgil asked.

"Almost noon. Want to go out for lunch?" Roman asked.

"I want to eat lunch here this time," Virgil said.

"All right," Roman said. "Let's go."

"Okay." Virgil let go of Roman and slipped out of his arms. He stood up and stretched, the same as Roman. "Let me go get Deirdre."

Roman nodded and Virgil walked out of the room. Roman smiled a bit.

'How did I get so lucky...?' Roman thought to himself and walked out of the room.
