Singing in the Shower- Prinxiety

OH MY GOSH ANOTHER ABOUT ROMAN AND VIRGIL. I'm really proud of this one! It took me about three hours to write, but now you guys get to read it! Isn't that great?! If you haven't listened to I'm Not Okay (I Promise), by My Chemical Romance, make sure you do. I listened to it many times while writing this for inspiration, and i'm glad I did. I understand why Virgil likes it.

Human Characters- In college

Prompt: So we've never met but our showers are on opposite sides of the same apartment wall so sometimes we're showering at the same time and we sing duets

The water poured down as Roman started the shower. He was incredibly nervous to hear the voice again. This time, it was singing "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", by My Chemical Romance, the raspy voice making its way through the wall. Roman had first heard the voice two days ago.

Roman heard the voice falter, and then the water turned off. He tried to ask the voice its name, but there was no response. The voice had clearly left the room. A bit dejected, Roman got out of the shower, and into his red and gold robe.

The next day...

Roman was not one to give up easily, so he again started the shower, hoping the voice would make another appearance. The voice didn't, but he heard the shower next door turn on. After some time, Roman softly began to sing.

Well, if you wanted honesty

That's all you had to say

I never want to let you down

Or have you go, it's better off this way

For all the dirty looks

The voice quietly joined in. Encouraged, Roman loudly sang the chorus.

I'm not okay
