Chapter Five

TW: There is a kiss that can be seen as non-consensual,also talk of alcohol use and a drunk Roman.
Day Two(This is the last day two I swear):

Dinner was awkward to say the least. Virgil was trying his best and Roman still was side stepping around the conversation they needed to have.  They had the conversation over dishes when they washed them, like any sane person would. Virgil was washing and Roman was drying. Virgil was humming to himself and Roman was still listening.

"Can we talk about the fight?" Roman asked. He was more confident than he was before and he was feeling much better than earlier. But he still felt that they needed to talk about it.

"If you want to." Virgil answered.

"I do." Roman responded and took the dish Virgil handed him.

"Then talk."

"I am sorry, I didn't realize that the flirting was that bad. I'll stop if you want me to." Roman said.

Virgil shrugged. "I don't mind it, it's the constant flirting that pisses me off and then you seem to always catch me on off days with it. I also get frustrated." Virgil answered.

"Why do you get frustrated?" Roman asked.

"Well I assume you heard my conversation with Patton or at least part of it judging by the fact you used some of my own words in that little burst in your room. So I'll say it to your face, but I have to ask if you want me to be blunt." Virgil said.

"I think you can only be blunt." Roman said. "I would be offended if you didn't." He said nicely.

Virgil rolled his eyes. "Of course you would think sooo highly of me." He said with sarcasm. Roamn laughed and Virgil smiled a little. It was good to have a small moment of joking before Virgil crushed Roman. "I get frustrated because you flirt with me and it's like I am a throw away. Someone who is always there for you to mess with. You say such sweet things that I can only feel like it's sarcastic or you are messing with me. I get that's what people do with friends but it's like you don't care how I feel about it."

Virgil had finished the last dish and handed it to Roman who dried it as he processed what Virgil had told him. He really didn't think that Virgil would think that, he was hoping that Vrigil would get the confidence to ask him out, but he just got pissed off and then Roman pushed. He found Virgil getting annoyed very cute, so he kept doing it.

"I-I didn't think it came across that way. I apologize for that. I won't do it anymore like I said." Roman said.

"Like I said I don't mind it, it just has to be on a good day." Virgil responded. "Besides it's stupid to believe that you would even like me that way. All the flirting is jokingly right?" Virgil asked. Roman didn't say anything.

One one hand he could lie and say it was but then he's put himself in the friend zone. The other option was to tell Virgil that it wasn't jokingly and then possibly screwing it up and then forcing Virgil to be in the same apartment with him.

"Right?" Virgil asked again looking at Roman who was putting away the dish. "Roman, answer me. No answer is just as bad as rejection so let's just get this over with." Roman shook his head.

"I can't give you that answer because rejection isn't what I was going to give you. I was going to actually say that a lot of that flirting was real. And if you would like to, can I make you dinner sometime?" Roman said.

Virgil looked in Roman's eyes and tried to find where he could be lying. He scoffed and shook his head. He couldn't believe Roman. They just had a huge fight yesterday and then this is what he does? They were going to have another argument but it wasn't going to end with Virgil slamming a door. Roman was going to make sure of that.
