The past few days getting to know Virgil have been spectacular. Virgil is a very mysterious person, rather quiet when it comes to talking about himself. We're hanging out tomorrow and I'm excited. Right now, I can't sleep. I know it's ridiculous. I just met him and I can't get him out of my mind. I just keep picturing his face when he ate one of Patton's cookies yesterday. I smile at the thought of him smiling. Him and his smiles. Something's pulling me to Virgil. My instinct to look at my ring every time he comes to mind makes me wonder, but it's too early to tell. I definitely wouldn't mind if the adorable emo boy was my soulmate. I need to get to bed, but I just can't. I look down at my ring and frown at the colors. It's black, blue, and orange. He was doing better, I wonder what happened. I groan and pull at my hair. My thoughts are all over the place.
I need chocolate milk.
I get out of bed and head downstairs to the kitchen. I get out the milk and chocolate syrup, then a glass and a spoon.
"What are you doing up?"
"Ah!" The spoon falls to the ground. "You're lucky I finished stirring already." I say, glaring at Remus. He just shrugs.
"If you say so. Aren't you usually asleep by now?" He glances the clock and I follow his eyes. 5:34 am.
"Just thinking." He stays silent for a minute.
"What about?" I shrug. "Is it about that?" He points to my ring. I look down and see it's now blue and orange. At least they're not in pain anymore.
"Partially, but that's not really anything new." I frown. Remus glances at his own ring. It's a light pink color and a smile takes over his features. "I'm happy for you Re." I truly am, no matter how annoying I find him, I'm happy for my brother. Him and his now boyfriend Janus recently realized that they are soulmates.
"Thanks. So um I'm gonna go to bed." He narrows his eyes. "You should too."
I roll my eyes. "Goodnight Remus."
"Night Ro." Remus heads upstairs. I drink my chocolate milk and then do the same. Once I'm under my red comforter I fall asleep, thoughts of Virgil still dancing in my mind.

"Roman it's almost three! Wake the fuck up!" I put my pillow over my head.
"Shut uuuuuuppp!"
"No can do brother. Dad wants you to help him in the garage." I groan and lift the pillow to glare at my brother.
"Why can't you do it?" He shrugs.
"He specifically requested you."
"Ugh fine, I'll be down in ten." Remus leaves my room and I sit up, stretching. I stay in my black sweatpants, adding a red tshirt. I quickly brush my hair and teeth then head downstairs.
"What's up dad?" I ask, entering the garage.
"Oh Roman! Can you help me carry these boxes to the car?" I look at the box he's holding.
"Is this mom's stuff?" He frowns.
"Yeah. I thought it was time." I shake the appearing tears out of my eyes. It's not the time to be crying.
"Yeah." I take the box from him and carry it to the backseat of the car. "So why couldn't Remus help you?" I ask, carrying my third box.
"I wanted to talk."
"Am I in trouble?" I laugh, but stop when I see the serious look on his face. "Dad?..."
"You're not in trouble Ro." He sighs. "I'm just worried." He glances down at my ring and his serious expression falters, turning into a confused one. "It just turned yellow. Well somewhat." I look at my ring. The base is orange, so he's anxious, but the yellow stripes are clear. Whole stripes of the joyous color.
"Oh my god."
"That's amazing Roman." He pulls me into a hug and I laugh.
"What were you going to say earlier?" I ask, my smile faltering slightly.
"Oh I was going to say I was worried about you because of the ring situation, but...looks like their doing better?" He says, but it comes off as a question.
"I hope so. There was a little yellow at times the pst few days."
"That's great Ro!" He pulls me into a side hug.
"Is that all? I'm going to go get something to eat." He nods and I head inside to the kitchen. I decided to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (using my favorite jam, Crofters). I hum as I construct the food.
"Cause Crofters is the only jelly I put in my belly~"
"Shut up!" Remus yells from the living room. I chuckle and flip him off, even though he's not looking. I flop onto the couch with my now completed sandwich. Remus is playing some shooting game.
"What do you want?" He asks, not taking his eyes away form the tv.
"Nothin." I say, taking a bite of my food. I feel my phone vibrate and put down my sandwich. I look down to see multiple texts from Virgil.

"What are you all smiley about?" I look up at the sound of Remus's voice.
"Nothing, just texting a friend." Remus looks at me weird, but shrugs it off.
"Aren't you going somewhere with your friends at six?"
"Yeah why?"
"It's 5:13." I jump off the couch.
"It's what!" Remus smirks as I run upstairs. I need to get ready.
