Unexpected Wattys 2022

Chapter Sixteen

13 Weeks into Quarantine:

A week later, the plan was going great. Virgil and Roman were posting on the story often about what they were doing and hanging out while also making everyone go crazy. Patton and Logan were still happy that they weren't at each other's throats and Janus was suspicious about how much time they spent together.

Virgil's friends were having fun trying to get him to tell them why he was spending so much time with Roman and why Roman was avoiding showing him and Virgil was having fun telling them that he just was never in the picture enough to be seen. But they knew that Roman would take the picture on purpose so it wouldn't have anything to see Virgil in.

Roman's friends were losing their shit to say the least. They were wondering who this Anx person was and why suddenly Roman was being so much more toned down. When Roman got a new lover, as Virgil put it, he would always post a ton of pictures with lovey captions. This was the same except they never saw the person's face and neither had outright said that Roman was taken.
Though he was acting like he was.

And Roman was happily taken by Virgil. He would happily turn down anyone looking for a booty call or anything. He had deleted all the dating apps the second he realized that Virgil was going to give him a chance to show him his true colors at the beginning of quarantine as well as all of his ex's numbers that he kept in case he needed something quick.

Virgil hadn't asked him to do it but he also didn't need to know. Roman knew Virgil didn't keep anything from him and he decided that he wouldn't give Virgil any reason to doubt him. No reason to not believe Roman. It has been going well.

The trust they had was going great and Roman was sure anything they would run into would be fine. Until Roman asked Virgil to grab his phone. There was an unknown number that texted Roman. And it wasn't easy for Virgil to see that.

When he gave the phone back to Roman, he was off and Roman knew it.

"Are you okay honey?" Roman asked, not bothering to check his phone. That made Virgil feel a little better, maybe Roman wasn't expecting that text.

"Yeah, just tired." Virgil responded and settled on the couch. He could see Roman's facial expression and not fully believed him. Roman glanced at his phone and realized that maybe Virgil saw something that he didn't like.

Roman knew when Virgil got upset or was overthinking, he would close up and not say anything unless someone said something. It was how he was, or felt he couldn't. That's when Roman got an idea. He got up and left his phone on the coffee table, he knew Virgil's eyes were following him but he didn't care. He went to his room and grabbed sticky notes. He then wrote nice messages and put them all around Virgil's room. He also put his phone passcode in some places around his room and the bathroom, so Virgil would see it if he lost the one that Roman was going to give him.

Roman still had the stick note in hand and was writing down his passcode while he walked into the living room, he noticed his phone hadn't moved from where it was and Virgil had left the living room in favor of a counter in the kitchen.

Virgil had his headphones on and was listening to music. Roman got his phone and slid it over to Virgil with the sticky note. The phone hit his side and Virgil furrowed his eyebrows and looked confused. He looked back up and saw his boyfriend standing on the other side of the counter with a smile on his face.

Virgil took off his headphones and let them hang around his neck. Roman couldn't help but admire him. Today was a day that Virgil had decided to wear makeup so the eyeshadow was under his eyes and made both colors stand out. Roman had to focus, he could admire his boyfriend later when he wasn't closing himself up. Virgil picked up the phone with the sticky note.
