Summary : Virgil just wants his boyfriend to be beautiful, is that really too much to ask for ?

-----------------------

Virgil examined the food on Janus' plate. "Wow, are you really going to eat all that ?" he said as he look at Janus.

Janus paused and look up at him, "Um yea, why ?" He looks at Virgil confused and with a bit of nervousness.

"Is just that," Virgil paused as if he's trying to find the right word, "don't you think is a little bit too much ?" again looking at Janus.

Janus looks away from him, "Oh um, yea maybe." Janus looks back up at Virgil again and hesitantly asked, "Um maybe we could share ?" his voice sounded nervous and he tried his best to give a small smile.

Virgil looks disgusted at the idea, "Ew, I'm not eating that. I don't want to be fat like you."

Janus flinched. 'Fat ? Has he really been gaining weight without realising it ?' He could feel himself losing his appetite.

Virgil stare at him, "Jeez, don't give me that look. I was just telling you the truth." His cold, hard glare made Janus shivered.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act that way," Janus said in a small voice. He paused then proceed to ask, "H-have I really been gaining weight lately ?" Deep inside him, he probably already knew the answer but he wanted to hear it from Virgil's mouth.

"Yea, you have. Haven't you look at yourself in the mirror lately ?" Virgil said with coldness and bluntness.

Janus shifted uncomfortably. It was already bad enough to learn that he was fat but hearing it coming from Virgil's mouth just hurts even more. He slowly pushed the plate of food away. He really can't stand the sight of food right now. Virgil watches his movements with interest, smirking as he did so.

"Now that's better," Virgil said with slight glee in his voice.

Janus was still hesitant. "Maybe I should just save it for later. I wouldn't want the food to go to waste." He swear he could hear Virgil mumbled under his breath that the food would go to waste on him anyway. "Um on second thought, I should just throw it out." He quickly stood up and threw all the content on his plate into the trash can. He then quickly went back to the table, not sparing another glance at his ruined lunch.

Virgil sighed and then started walking towards him. He looks down at the floor, not wanting to see the disappointment on Virgil's face. Virgil put his finger under his chin and forced him to look up.

"Come on, Jan. You know I'm just doing this for your own good." Janus looks away guiltily. "I'm just doing this because I love you. You already have these hideous scales on you, do you really want to add being fat on the list ?" Virgil said as he stroke the scales on Janus' face, making Janus shivered. "Come on, don't you want to be beautiful, my dear ?"

Virgil is right, he's doing all of this because he loves him. He should be grateful that Virgil wanted to be his boyfriend. Like look at him, he has hideous scales all over his body, he has a snake eye and he's fat. Virgil was just trying to help him by telling the truth. And he's not going to cry just because he can't handle the cold hard truth.

"You're right, I'm sorry," Janus apologize with his shaking voice. "I'm so sorry, y-you were just trying to help. A-and I do want to be beautiful," he stutter out trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Now, now, don't cry. Is great that you came to your senses. I knew you'll eventually stop lying to yourself," Virgil said with such softness in his voice, making Janus felt even worse with how he acted earlier. "Don't worry about it, I'll help you with this little problem of yours." It was said with such a gentle and reassuring voice, Janus can't help but believe him.

"Yea, thanks Vee. I really don't know what I'll do without you." Janus gave Virgil a small smile. "I promise I'll do better, I won't let you down." Hearing him say that, Virgil smirked.

"Thank you, my dear. I'm glad you understand." Virgil smiled at him before kissing him on the forehead. Janus melts under Virgil's touches. He really can't believe how lucky he is to have a boyfriend like Virgil. He has to be beautiful so that Virgil can be proud of him. And if being beautiful means skipping some meals, he'll gladly do it. For Virgil.
