Warnings: Remus, guns mentioned, who ordered all this fluff????

Roman opened the front door and was met with Remus standing in the hallway with his arms folded and a smirk on his face.

"Soooo...how's Virgil?"

Roman opened his mouth to deny it again but quickly changed his mind, instead, grabbed Remus' arm and dragged him up the stairs and into his room. Once they were both inside and the door was closed, Roman gripped Remus' shoulders and started bouncing up and down,

"He's as amazing as ever! We spent the day playing with Thomas in the woods and then they took me out for lunch and and and at the end when we were saying goodbye he kissed me on the cheek!"

Remus' eyes widened and a grin spread across his face as he started jumping up and down too, "holy shit holy shit holy shit!"

The brothers were giggling like teenage girls who were asked to prom by their crushes.

"Now you have to go up to him and fuc-"

"REMUS!"

"Come on Roman, you gotta grab this opportunity by the dick, you could do it literal-"

"Don't finish that!"

"Just go up to him, you kiss him, you two fuck, then live happily ever after"

"Remus, I can't do that. One, consent is a thing and two, I don't know if he wants that. He does have a mate"

"Yeah, but he's worm food"

"Remus!" Roman smacked him in the face, "don't say things like that"

"What? You should be grateful, it means you have a chance with him! V's mate is buried 6-feet under with maggots eating his eyes and beetles chewing through his stomach and puss pours out of the wounds like melted cheese!"

"Remus! Shut up!"

Roman squeezed his eyes shut, trying not to picture that horrific image.

Remus sighed and spoke in the softest voice he could muster, "do you really like him?"

"I think I love him, Re. That's the scariest thing, I don't want to mess it up. I've never been in a relationship before, Sam was a platonic mate"

"It's a good thing to be scared, it means that the feelings are real. But you can't let it stop you from pursuing a relationship with him. You love him and, by the way your face lights up whenever he's in the room, these feelings aren't going to go away anytime soon. So you need to tell him before you end up hurting each other"

Roman turned his head to face his brother, his mouth hanging open.

"I...how...that's the..."

"Emile's been helping me with the whole empathy thing. It's not going great but, I'm trying"

"I'm proud of you Remus and thank you; you're an amazing brother"

Remus' breath hitched as Roman's words sunk in. His big brother was proud of him. He smiled and moved closer so their heads were touching,

"Love ya, broski"

"I love you too"

"Now, tell Virgil that"

The weekend rolled around quicker than Virgil would've liked. It's not that he didn't like the weekends, he loved them, but it meant that his audition was closer and he was petrified to put it simply. He's never done an audition before. Despite Jasper and Eden's attempts to get him to join the school play, he always refused and stuck with being a techie. So to say he was nervous, was an understatement. He'd spent two hours pacing the living room as he rehearsed and rehearsed his lines, Thomas watching with fond amusement.
