"Okay, down to business." The four sat around a worn wooden table. After the twins had reconciled and gotten the tears out, they returned to the matter at hand.
"How are we going to dethrone the Meat-headed jocks?" Roman shifted slightly, causing Virgil to glance at him. "Sorry, Ro."
"Don't worry about it. I know what stereotype I fall under." Roman said, no real emotion behind the words.
"Well, you're a part of our group now." Roman looked up, confused. Do they want me? After all I've done?
"Y-you want me to be a part of your group?" Roman felt his walls lowering. They wanted him.
"Why not?" The playful smirk on Virgil's face caused his heart to flutter. Damn him for being so...UGH.
"Okay, but now I have a rather personal question." The other three looked at him. "I-I have multiple soulmates, and wanted to know if, umm..." Roman trailed off, realizing how stupid it was to bring this up. Now they're gonna think you're lying, or that you're so damn broken you need multiple people to hold your shit together. You're so stupid-
"You want to know if any of us are your soulmate, right?" The comment jarred Roman out of his spiral.
"Uh, y-yeah?"
"Well, you know we're platonic soulmates, bro," Remus said, pulling his left sleeve up to reveal a tattoo in reds and greens. Roman glanced at his own forearm, finding it's match.
"And you saw my mark in Alg II," Eth said, turning over their left arm to reveal the crown and snake.
"So what you're actually asking is if I'm your soulmate too." Virgil's normally cynical voice actually sounded nervous and uncertain.
"Well, y-yeah I guess that's what I'm asking..."
"O-oh..." ShitshitshitshitshitshitshitSHITSHITSHIT! Why do I sound so harsh?! Why can't I do anything right?! You're so stupid Roman! StupidstupidstupidstupidstupidSTUPID!
Roman felt his body begin to shake. Velvet darkness enveloped him. You can't do anything right! You always say something STUPID! I'M SO DUMB! I MADE EVERYTHING WORSE!!
Then he blacked out.
