After getting some breakfast with Roman and arriving at the place that he hoped he could call his home, Virgil wondered around and checking out the rooms, so far, the place seemed nice. It had three rooms upstairs that each had its own bathroom, which was very much appreciated while downstairs held one room, which he assumed would've been the office or a guest bedroom, a decently-sized kitchen unlike the shitty one they had back in the foster home, the dining area in front of it and the living room parallel to the dining area.

Virgil sighed as he flopped on the couch, his face in the cushions and pillows as he sighed once again. After getting into the house, Roman said he had to do something real quick and Virgil had to witness the demon sink into the floor. Virgil was bored, he already explored the whole house and went into all of the rooms- they weren't that interesting due to mostly being empty, the ones upstairs had beds and desks, but that wasn't much use.

Virgil rolled over so he was laying on his back, raising his left hand up, inspecting it. This was the hand he cut for the ritual, it had a huge red line across it, it seemed like it was healing but not fully, If he were to move it excessively or lift semi-heavy objects, the wound would open up. Virgil opened and closed his hand then began stretching it, smirking when the cut opened up and began bleeding. He did nothing to stop the bleeding, he just stared at it as it began dripping down his hand, the crimson red beads falling from it and traveling down his palm and down his arm, it was somewhat beautiful against his pale skin, it was a nice contrast with the bright red. What if he made more blood fa-

"What're you doing there, dear?"

Virgil panicked and quickly pulled his hoodie sleeve over his hand, sitting up and turning his head to the direction heard Roman's voice. Virgil sighed in relief when he saw Roman's confused expression.

"I-It's nothing, Roman..." Virgil said as he stood up and began walking off, pulling the sleeve further down to make sure his bleeding hand wasn't visible but Roman quickly caught on.

"Virgil," Roman said, a certain firmness in his voice making Virgil stop and turned his head to look at the demon, "yes?" Virgil replied, trying to make his voice sound unbothered and nonchalant but there was a nervous quiver in his voice.

"Can you come here, dewdrop?" Roman asked, softening as he gestured for him to come over. Virgil bit his lip but sighed, seeing that it was no use hiding this from this demon. He walked over to Roman.

Roman took Virgil's covered hand and curled up the sleeve, revealing both the wounded hand and the cuts that were still fairly new. Roman couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as he looked at the multiple injuries his human had inflicted on himself. He leaned down and pressed a kiss on one of the cuts on Virgil's arms and stood up straight, telling him about the news can wait later. He grabbed the flustered emo's arms and brought him to the bathroom. He set him down on the counter-sink thing and got out a medical kit.

"You should've told me..." Roman mumbled as he took out a disinfectant and some bandages, for both his hand and arms. Virgil didn't say anything, he just took off his hoodie and placed it beside him, showing his hand and arms for Roman to take care of. After a couple of minutes of silence, Virge spoke up.

"I didn't want you fussing about me," Virgil mumbled, wincing as he felt the wet cotton pad make contact with his cuts. "Virgil, you do know I'm supposed to take care of you?" Roman questioned as he threw away the cotton pad and began wrapping Virgil's arms, " I'm supposed to fuss about you, princess." Roman said as he finished up and grabbed Virgil's good hand.
