It was the phone
I reluctantly went out of bed and walked downstairs, holding the receiver to my ear not before checking the time and date

Saturday June 28, 1969. 1:30 am

The person on the other end was Virgil, we've been dating in secret for 3 years. He lives across the street from The Stonewall Inn, a popular place where LGBTQ+ people can be themselves in the form of a gay bar/nightclub

¥Virgil on the phone¥
Can I come over to your place? Stonewalls been raided by police and the car sirens are loud. There's a mob forming and people are getting arrested. Things are now being thrown at the police and I'm scared. I can't take the noise and you know how I feel about it

{Roman on the phone}
Shh it's ok, of course you can come over. You can sleep over if it's getting ugly and it will probably stretch out for a couple more days. I have stuff provided but you can bring your own necessities

¥Virgil on the phone¥
Ok, see you in a bit

The couple hung up

Roman cleaned up the house a bit while waiting for Virgil. Virgil packed a small backpack with his necessities and safely avoided the mob and police, keeping his hood up while in the streets

I heard a knock on the door, luckily I finished cleaning and had time to read. I got up from the couch and opened the front door, seeing my boyfriends beautiful purple and green eyes. Virgil immediately went into my arms and I ran my fingers through his soft purple locks

{Roman}
You ok Stormy?

¥Virgil¥
Feeling better that I'm with you

We went inside my house and had dinner. Virgil stayed for the night which I liked. In the morning, well actually when the sun came out, I received a copy of the N.Y Times on my stoop detailing the events of the newly established Stonewall Riots.

The headline showed pictures of notable people, some of whom I recognized like my friends Patton, Logan, Remy, and Emile along with my brother Remus and his husband Janus. There was also my theatre buddies Thomas, Joan, Talyn, and the Crew

Patton was my college roommate and co-worker at my first job before doing my theatre dream. Logan and I were neighbours and childhood friends, I would always cheat off of him during tests since we would always be next to each-other. Remy and Emile are my best friends since middle school, of course Logan and I were friends but Remy and Emile took the top spot. Remus is my brother, he was a pain to live with ever since he became his own gross self. Janus and I are mutual friends, we had a rivalry going on but Patton broke it off and we've became neutral ever since

Thomas was a very good actor and scene partner while Joan handled the director role along with co-writing scripts and composing songs for future productions. Talyn was in charge of Makeup and they were a wizard, Virgil would get along with them very quickly. Davi and Quil tag-teams for script writing and are head of the department while Cam is in charge of cameras & Tech Week which is very stressful, also Kenny is there for moral support to motivate us for opening night whenever we show a new production at the theatre

All of them are part of the LGBTQ+ community or are Allies. They all were at Stonewall and got arrested which means Virgil and I are the only ones not in jail

I shut the front door and put the newspaper on the table, pondering on if I should throw it away or leave it out. I decide to let it stay on the table and go back to find Virgil sleeping

I rock him back and forth to wake him up and tell him the sad news that our friends are in jail. Virgil's eyes open slowly as he gets used to the light coming from a nearby window

¥Virgil¥
Hey Princey, what time is it?

{Roman}
10:30 ish. I haven't made breakfast yet but I could if you're hungry. The paper came already, it's on the dining table, and I also have bad news

¥Virgil¥
Bad news?

{Roman}
Our friends and my theatre buddies are arrested

¥Virgil¥
Everyone?

{Roman}
Yeah

Virgil started to tear up

¥Virgil¥
The thought of being stuck in a place that you've heard about in movies and media is scary to be honest

{Roman}
Yeah, gives me the creeps. Anyway since we aren't near the Stonewall, we'll be fine here

¥Virgil¥
You promise?

{Roman}
Always. I'll stay with you forever

The couple got news of the riots from newspaper articles that showed up on the doorstep each morning

July 3, 1969. 10:30 am

Headline Report:
Stonewall Riots are now over
The Gays are here to stay
The arrested people will be released soon

Roman rushes upstairs to Virgil

{Roman}
Read the headline

¥Virgil¥
Oh my god, this can't be real

{Roman}
Even better, our friends are coming home!

I got a big loving hug from Virgil, he was excited to see Patton again because the 2 have a very strong father-son platonic relationship

A week later, our friends have been released and we made a plan to meet up with them

We all reunited with each-other, asking questions about how jail was like and other random things, mostly influenced by Remus

Later when our friends left and that meant Virgil and I were alone, We went to a grassy hillside. I felt around in my jacket pocket for a velvet box, perfect

{Roman thinking}
Ever since Stonewall, police has been backing off but there has been a few homophobic attacks every once in a while. Well at least this isn't a crime anymore I think, welp we can move to Canada if it's not allowed. Roman focus, you're about to ask Virgil a very important life-changing question, just be yourself

{Roman}
Hey Virgil, can I ask you something?

¥Virgil¥
Yes, I will marry you

{Roman}
Wait wha-It's super romantic now, how in the world did you know?

¥Virgil¥
You keep fiddling with your pocket, meaning there's something important and of value inside. You rubbed the lid of the velvet box for good luck before saying that you want to ask me something, the fabric wrinkled slightly. Finally I caught a glimpse of a blue velvet square in your pocket as we were walking down the path to get up here

{Roman}
You caught me red-handed. So it's a yes?

¥Virgil¥
Absolutely

Roman got the wedding band out of the box and put it on Virgil's finger
