Addiction~Prinxiety

"Another drink, Sir?"

"Please." The bartender smiled with a nod as he took the glass away leaving Roman just sitting there at the bar with a tired look on his face. He really was highly exhausted, but ever since that... breakup, he hasn't been able to sleep. He even asked Remy for some tips but nothing worked. Every time he laid down he just felt... wrong. Like he was missing something... He felt cold and no matter how many blankets he had he could never get warm. The bartender returned with a new drink and Roman smiled softly, albeit it fakely. "Thanks."

"I'm surprised to see you here again, Ro." Roman scoffed softly as he twirled his drink a bit before taking a sip.

"Thought I'd lose my self in the booze and bitches, Jade. Have a few drinks maybe suck some dick... Anything to get my next fix, right?" A quiet laugh sounded beside him as Roman glanced over to see the one woman who sat with him every night for the past two weeks once again just hanging out. "You dyed your hair."

"You noticed?" Roman nodded as Jade gently swished her hair over her right shoulder revealing the now dark locks that matched her name, Jade. "I'm surprised."

"Don't be. I'm very observant when it comes it comes to people. Besides you had blonde hair yesterday."

"I supposed I did." Jade's eyes darkened as he watched Roman just stare at his cup. "I'm sorry, Ro. When I told that guy about you... I didn't realize how wrong I was."

"You weren't wrong."

"Yes, I was..."

"No." Roman sighed as he shook his head. "No, you weren't. You and every other person I slept with weren't wrong at all. Back then I didn't care about anything but getting that... attention. All I wanted was to feel love. I didn't how or from who. I just wanted to feel loved. I may not have been addicted to it all like you thought but the truth wasn't that far off. My hypersexuality is hardly that different."

"Regardless, I'm sorry. I didn't have the facts and willfully spoke out against you. You lost someone dear because of me." Roman just smiled as he looked out towards the crowd.

"No, I lost him because of me. I never told him about it and to make matters worse I never told him about my appointments so he thought I was cheating on him. It was my fault... and there's nothing I can do to fix it. So..." Roman gestured like he was doing cheers before down his drink and causing him to choke. "God that's awful. Why did I pick it again?"

"The 'Dark and Stormy'?"

"Oh." Roman laughed as he just stared at his cup again. "That's why."

"Roman, did you really pick a drink because of the name alone?" Roman nodded as he ignored everything and just kept drinking it.

"I  just miss my dark stormcloud, ok? I couldn't help it. When I saw the name I just..." Jade gently took his hand in his making him stop and look over at her. 

"Coming here to this crappy bar night after night wallowing in your pain isn't going to do you any good, Roman." Roman only looked away as he tried to take another sip only for Jade to take the glass and dump it onto the floor much to the bartender's dislike.

"Hey."

"I'm not letting you waste away in this shitty bar." Jade smiled over at the other as she gently placed the glass down. "Why don't we get out of here, get absolutely fluthered, and make a haymes out of everything?"

"You and your Irish sayings..." Roman chuckled as Jade jumped down and started to pull him towards the door. You wouldn't really think it much but ever since Jade spotted him that first night in the bar, they've actually started to become good friends. Then again Roman always was good at making friends and Jade was a very protective person once she starts to care about something.

"Come on, Ro. Let's get shit faced and go fucking wild." 

"Ok. Ok... Sure." Roman laughed as Jade beamed as dragged him off, making him stumble. "It beats staying here anyway."

"What is up, everybody?!" Virgil jumped at the sudden sound of someone yelling out by the front door.

"Shhh. Jade, it's fucking 3 in the morning." Virgil quickly turned the tv off carefully pulling himself up at the sound of Roman giggling like crazy. "Do you want to wake everyone up?"

"I dunno. Why don't we try? HEY EVERYBODY!" Roman quickly jumped in to shush her as the two stumbled through the hall. Virgil just stood there watching as Roman pushed her up the steps, tears slowly falling from his eyes as he just smiled. "Ok. Ok. I get it. It's quiet time now."

"Serious, shh..." Roman laughed as he shut the door and locked it. Virgil sighed as he walked back into the living room to start cleaning up. He folded the blanket he had been using and draped it over the couch before picking up his popcorn and taking care of that to. He then walked over to the front door, locking it up, before moving to hang Roman's and that women coat that they had both just dropped to the floor. Guess they were too drunk to even notice. He straight the shoes up before picking up a purse that Virgil just assumed was the woman and hanging that up with the coat so that it was all together. After that, he just went to bed. He walked up the steps only pausing for a moment when something crashed in Roman's room eliciting more giggles and muffled shhing. Virgil just shook his head as he walked on into his room.

"At least he's having fun." Virgil sighed as he closed his door and just crashed. He really couldn't take being in this room anymore. Even if he were to take all the stuff Roman had made out... The room felt empty and cold. He honestly didn't spend his nights here. He'd hang out in here and laugh and shit but once the sun went down, he slept with Roman in his room. His bed simply felt unfamiliar... his blankets didn't hold that nice musky scent Roman's did. He couldn't even stand his lavender pillow. He chucked it at the wall the first night back there. Roman had a rose pillow that Logan had given him as a birthday gift. Smelling the lavender instead of roses just broke him more. Virgil laid back against his bed holding his teddy bear that Remus had made him tightly as he fell asleep to the sound from down the hall.
