~August 15th~

Virgil was anxious, to say the least. He was wearing a black knee-length one-shoulder dress with purple sparkles on it. He wore sparkly eyeshadow and purple lipstick. He looked at himself in the bathroom mirror.

"Mi amore, are you okay in there?" Roman asked, knocking on the door slightly.

"Y-Yeah, just... finishing up," Virgil replied.

"Are you nervous?" Roman questioned.

"Yes..." Virgil muttered.

"Come out, my emo nightmare. I want to see your face." Roman said.

"Alright." Virgil gulped a bit and slowly opened the door.

Roman was silent for a few seconds. Then he spoke up, "Mi amore, you look stunning."

"R-Really...?" Virgil stuttered.

"Of course." Roman hugged Virgil. "I love you, now let's get down to the party. The guests will be arriving soon."

"Okay." Virgil nodded.

They walked downstairs and immediately noticed that Marcus was flirting with Remus. Roman rolled his eyes and he and Virgil walked into the living room. There was music and everybody was talking.

Virgil saw his father, mother, brother, and his brother's boyfriend.

"Huh, they actually showed up," Virgil said.

"Why wouldn't they?" Roman asked.

"I don't know. I just figured they wouldn't after everything I put them through." Virgil sighed.

"Virgil, you didn't put them through anything," Roman said.

"Mhm..." Virgil hummed.

Roman frowned and looked around, trying to find something to get Virgil's mind off of things. He saw the table of food and smiled, "Come on, let me get you some food."

"Okay." Virgil nodded.

Roman knew the food wouldn't get Virgil's mind off of things, but he did know that Virgil will be distracted.
