(TW: self harm)
Ships: prinxty, Platonic dukexity
Virgil had been especially antisocial lately and everyone was getting worried about him, "I'm going up" said Roman as he slammed his mug onto the table. "Are you sure Roman? He probably wants to be alone" said janus as he paced back and forth thinking, "I don't care, I'm worried about him" Roman walked up the stairs quickly and knocked on virgil's door, no answer. He bashed on it harder, still no answer. He then forced his way into virgil's room, what he saw took the blood from his face. Virgil pail body laid in the blood stained sheets with some fresh cuts and many scars. Roman ran up to him tears flowing from his eyes, he checked if he was still breathing, he was! There was still hope! "AHHHH!" Roman screamed out of panic he didn't know what to do. Patton ran up stairs in a panicked dad mode, he saw virgil and froze, next to come up was janus, he lived with remus for 7 years so this didn't faze him too much, but he was still terrified. He grabbed his cell phone and called the ambulance, "ok, be quick" he said has he hung up the phone "they said to trily stop the bleeding and get him down to the ambulance as quickly as possible." Remus conjured up some bandages and passed them to Patton because he had first-aid training. He bandaged up virgil's arms tight enough to stop the blood flow. Roman carried him down stairs as the ambulance arrived. Roman go on the ambulance, he was shaking. He didn't want to leave his side at all. Remus conjured up some kittens for everyone to play with, this was a very stressful day. Logan went into the room to look for anything that might indicate that these were self inflicted. He moved the red sheets around and saw an almost completely used up blade, he picked it up and brought it down, "guys" he said, this was one of the rare times that emotion came into his voice. He placed the blade down on the coffee table, everyone gasped, "so, he did this" said remus as he began to cry. Roman was sat in the hospital room with virgil, he blocked out the beeping from the hart monter, it was quick and the silence was short, he was incredibly worried, he had had a burning love for virgil for months, although he didn't know it, he wish he had told him now. "Exuse me sir? They're's someone on the phone for you" said a tall thin wight woman with long brown hair, handing him his phone, it was Thomas, "hey, h-how is he?" The fear was building up in him. "H-he's alive, but still unconscious!s, and in critical condition" Roman's voice sank "oh, well at least he's alive" Patton was really trying to look for a silver lining, but there wasn't really one. "Oh, by the way, did you find out if he did this? The hospital needs to know" Roman said to brake the silence, hoping it wasn't him. "....H-he did them" remus said, he was the only one who was able to brake bad news to people. Roman's eyes welled up with more tears, he hung up the phone and started at virgil slowly breathing through his nose. "Why did you do this?" He whispered as he put his hand on the side of the bed, and let his tears fall onto the floor. He called for the doctor "hello, umm" he couldn't see what gender they were "Dr. Davis" said the plump figure with tan skin and short pink hair, that was in a tight ponytail. "Ok, Dr. Davids, he- he *sniff* d-id t-them-m h-imse-lf" Roman's voice was covered with sobs but they got the message. They left to give him some space, he just sat there and cried alone for hours."sir? Visitors must leave now" the the thin woman, she saw the tears in his eyes, "are you ok?" She said knowing the answer. "N-n-no" he managed to stutter out nearly forgetting to breath. He reluctantly released his grip on the metal stool and stood, he struggled to walk away, longing to go back and stay with him, he didn't have a lot of energy left from crying. He decided to call janus to come pick him up, there's no way he could drive in his state. He stood in the rain waiting, thinking about virgil, the beeping of the hospital room still in his head, beep beep beep, beep beep beep. Janus pulled up in his car, "omg Roman, why are you stood in the rain without a coat?" He said as Roman got in the car still crying. He handed him a towell and set off back home- well they're house, it wasn't home without virgil. "Umm, hey Ro" said Thomas as they stepped into the house, Roman's hair still wet. Roman couldn't bear to talk, he ran upstairs before losing all control and breaking down, "w-hy *sniff*" remus could here him crying but decided not to tell. Roman found the strength to drag himself to his room, he set himself and alarm. 2:49. The time when visitors could come again. That night he cried himself to sleep. The next morning, he left a note saying Hey guys, I'm going to see virge. And then left. He took a bottle of water because he was so dehydrated from the tears he wept. He still couldn't see all that well so he took the bus, "excuse me sir, why are you crying?" Said a man in a Jamaican accent, Roman couldn't hold these feelings in any longer. "M-my f-riend cut-t himself and-and he's at th-the hospital, and *sob* *sniff* w-we don't know if he's going to *sob* m-make i-t" sobs we're being torn out his chest. "Oh, I'm sorry to here that" the man said, "now, why are you visiting them alone? Are you his only friend?". "N-no, I just D-id'nt w-wan-t to, wake everyone, b-befor t-the sun-n cane u-u-up" Roman continued, he was thankful that this kind stranger would let him vent for a minute. When they got to the hospital the the man got off too, "are you visiting someone too?" He asked, "yeah, my mother, she broke her hip" he said as they got to the door, "aww, i hope she gets well soon" said Roman as they parted ways, "same for your friend" he said waving. "Hi" said the non-binary doctor, "he's much better than the other night" (incase you haven't noticed, i cant make a character die) Roman was thankful for this news, "still alone today i see?" They said, "yeah, i mean it's early so" said Roman as he started speeding up to see virgil. He stepped in and saw the boys bandageing cut off to reveal some deep cuts well they can heal now thought Roman as he got closer. The beeping had slowed, beep, beep, beep. Back home, janus was the first up, he found Roman's letter and went down stairs. He was the only person that knew about Roman's crush on virgil. He had found out a month ago when Roman was talking to himself. Roman was sat on the same stool once more, he was happier now that he was in a better condition. Virgil moand as he turned over, opening slits in his eyes, "VIRGY! YOU'RE AWAKE! I WAS SO WORRIED!" Said Roman as a big smile was swept across his face. "Woah woah woah, calm-yo-self" said virgil in a tired voice. "Sorry, I'm just so happy you're alive!" Said Roman as he was the only thing that ment anything right now. "*cough* you're probably wondering why i did this" said virgil with a burning sting in his arms. "We'll get to that later, all that matters now is that you're ok" said Roman. A new person came into the room, a short, black man with dreadlocks and silver glasses, "hello mr Sanders, i see you're awake now. I'm Dr. Lee, I'm a psychiatrist, and i would like to talk to you" he said as he walked closer to the bed, "sir, may I ask you to leave?" He said looking at Roman, "o-ok" Roman said reluctantly before standing and sitting outside the room, he texted the others
