22 Weeks Into The Pandemic:

They were driving up to New York. They said goodbye to Roman's parents early in the morning and got in the car. Roman had to drive because Virgil winced each time he sat down. Roman had gotten a small pillow from his room to help Virgil.

"Did you have to really go that hard?" Virgil asked when they both got in.

"Listen, I know you weren't a virgin but you can't blame me." Roman said with a laugh.

"I sure as hell can blame you, you are the cause of this." Virgil said and hissed when Roman went over a bump.

"Lean your seat back, it might help, I'll do my best to avoid potholes until the Advil kicks in." Roman said and Virgil nodded. He closed his eyes and Roman glanced at him. "Are you upset with me? Was I too rough?" Roman asked. Virgil smiled lazily at him.

"No, Princey. It's just going to be a little bit until I get used to it again, it's been a while." Virgil said. "Are you sure you want me to not drive?"

"I am sure, we are splitting this trip up into two different days. You can drive up tomorrow when you are less sore. Besides I feel bad." Roman said. Virgil laughed.

"Really? You are like the sluttiest person I know and you feel bad for hurting me when I asked for it? What are you gonna do when you find out the rest of my kinks." Virgil said.

"I am scared of that." Roman said with a smile.

"Don't be. What do you want to do while we drive?" Virgil asked.

"Well you can start by holding my hand." Roman said and Virgil rolled his eyes.

Roman's goal was to drive most of the way up and get to a hotel in Pennsylvania they had called and made sure they could stay there. And he was going to make it there. Roman went between singing to Virgil, making him join in, and poking fun at him.
He was a little nervous that he was moving too fast for Virgil but why else would he say yes to sex three times in the last few days if he wasn't good with it. It made him nervous. He would talk to Virgil tonight when they got to the hotel.

It was almost ten at night when they pulled up. Roman grabbed their duffel bags from the car and Virgil went to the front desk. Roman was wearing a mask where Virgil had written 'Princey' on it with a gold glitter fabric pen and Roman convinced Virgil to wear his that had 'Princess' in the same glitter pen but in Roman's handwriting. Virgil got the room keys and led Roman to their room. He got changed and so did Roman. After Virgil was looking out the window at the city lights. They were pretty but it was good enough for them.

"Princess?" Roman said. Virgil turned around and looked at him. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." Virgil said. Roman was laying on the bed and moved to look at the ceiling.

"Do you think we are moving too fast? Like in your opinion?" Roman asked.

"Considering the unusual circumstances we have, we are just where we are supposed to be. Why?" Virgil asked.

"I was just thinking about it that's all." Roman said.

"Roman, we are both adults. Is this about the sex?" Virgil asked. Roman sat up.

"I-it's not that I didn't enjoy it. I am just not sure you were fully on board you know?" Roman said. Virgil put his hands on Roman's cheeks and moved his face so Roman had no choice but to look at his eyes. Roman had told him before his eyes were his kryptonite and Virgil was going to use that.
