A/n: Is giving Roman redemption stupid?

I mean, i'm not going to do the "Oh YoUr a GoOd gUy nOw? I lOvE aNd tRust YoU NoW" stuff because people still have to face and suffer consequences for their actions, so he's not off the hook, even if he gets redeemed.

Also I think i'm dying over the new episode. Like, Janus-

TW: Andrew, getting beat up.

Enjoy loves! 💛🖤💛🖤

Roman bit his lip at the texts he'd gotten from Ram and Kurt. They'd texted him a few times about some plan to get him, Lucia and Virgil out safely.

But he was scared.

He had done so much bad—there was no way he was getting out of here free, with no legal consequences. And he'd already ruined relationships with his friends—so what was the point? Why not continue? With Andrew, he was sure they'd never get caught.

He read carefully over the texts again, typing and deleting his responses. What could he say?

There was nothing, nothing to be said. He'd broken so many laws, so many promises, he'd broken trust with lifelong friends, and all this over a simple question? 'What's the worst thing you've ever done on a dare?'

He was stupid. So, so stupid. What he'd done hadn't even been on a dare. He did it on his own free will, so why did he even say that? Why did he lie?

Did he just need to get it off of his chest? He felt like it wouldn't have gotten so out of hand but how could it not have? How could he tell them his deepest, darkest secret?

He took a shaky breath, no. He had to do this. It was the first step to making things right.

He typed out a response to Ram and Kurt's plan.

Roman: Okay. I'll do it. What do we have to do?

————————————————————

Andrew breathed against Lucia's neck which had a knife pressed into it. She was gagged, and hand cuffed to the bed. She let out a muffled scream into the gag as Andrew chuckled alongside Roman.

"Go play with your new 'pet'" Andrew said gruffly, throwing Roman a bag of "toys" to use on Virgil, who was tied up in the other room.

Roman smirked, "yes sir"

He walked out of the room, leaving Andrew to have a little fun with Lucia as he walked downstairs into a sound proof room where Virgil was.

Well, it wasn't exactly sound proof, but you couldn't hear from the outside what was happening in the room unless someone was screaming, or loud noises were being made.

Roman checked the bag he had, making sure it had everything he would need.

Once he saw he had everything, opened the door to see Virgil looking scared out of his mind, having a panic attack. The gag in his mouth and tight rope over his chest did nothing to calm his nerves or help him breathe.

Roman shut the door behind him, locking it, and ran over to Virgil, untying him and taking the gag out immediately.

Virgil could finally breathe better, but his nerves still weren't calm now that Roman was in the room.

"P-p-ple-ease don-don't-t-t-t-t hurt m-me" he muttered out as soon as he found his voice, kicking and backing away.

Roman's heart broke a little bit as he heard Virgil whisper those words.

"Oh, Virgil i'm not going to hurt you" he told him truthfully.

Roman began coaching Virgil through his panic attack the best he could, and when he finally calmed down, began explaining the master plan to Virgil.

Virgil, after quite a while, understood but was still skeptical.

"Was running me over twice part of your 'master plan'" he asked, doing air quotes.

Roman sheepishly looked at Virgil, who did look pretty battered from that, and said "No, I just got into this plan! Plus I was drunk and panicky and when Andrew yelled at me to drive, I panicked and did so."

Virgil was still skeptical, deciding to let it go for now and asked, "how do you plan on letting Andrew let you watch me and my mom?"

"By now, i'm sure he trusts me enough. But if you come out of here with cuts and bruises and stuff, he'll think that I actually mean business" Roman explained.

Virgil flinched.

"No no no, Virgil i'm not actually beating you up or anything!" Roman said quickly, pulling out a few makeup pallets and fake blood from his bag.

"But we sure will make it look like I did" Roman explained.

Virgil relaxed a little.

"Okay, so we need to make fake bruises, cuts, make you look bloody, maybe even throw in some of this fake skin I have, cover it in blood, and make it look like I cut some of your skin back." Roman told him.

"Wow" Virgil said, "and you know how to do all of this?" He questioned.

"Yep!" Roman said, popping the p.

"Alrighty.." Virgil muttered, grabbing a makeup pallet, attaching fake skin to himself and soaking it all with blood, "let's do this, I guess..."

————————————————————

By the time they were finished, Virgil was covered with realistic cuts and bruises, long, bloody scars that ran down his body, a leg that looked real broken, and there were even old bruises and scars all over him.

Roman splashed some blood on the walls, floors, and even on himself in places like his hands to make it look like he really did it. He even dipped a few knifes that Andrew gave him into the thick, red fake blood and then set them aside.

Throughout this process, for good measure, Virgil screamed and cried just so Andrew would think more of it.

Roman began banging stuff around the room to make it sound like he was hitting and banging Virgil around, too.

Once they were finally done, Roman told Virgil that he needed to snap a few pictures of Virgil, who was faking being passed out, "Virgil you need to relax, it looks unnatural, like you aren't passed out!"

Virgil flinched, "I-I—I'm sorry, but i'm still nervous...and shaky and I can-I just can't.." he whispered, "I can't let my guard down, I can't trust you.."

"Virgil.." Roman said, his entire being filling with remorse, he grabbed Virgil's hand, "you have my word, I will not hurt you.." he placed a gentle kiss to Virgil's knuckles.

Virgil immediately pulled back and smacked Roman across the face, "Roman what the hell?!" He exclaimed, "I have boyfriends, you know!"

"Right, right sorry—it wasn't supposed to be Romantic!" He exclaimed, lying through his teeth, "it was supposed to be reassuring!"

Virgil rubbed his now tainted hand against his clothes and leaned against the wall, attempting to relax, "okay okay just—just take the pictures.."

Roman snapped a few, sending them to Andrew, who almost immediately texted back.

Andrew: Wow, did you kill him?

Roman: no, but he was a feisty one. He struggled a lot, but I got it under control after bashing his head in and knocking him out.

Andrew: i'm proud of you kid.

Roman put his phone away, and told Virgil, "alright let's clean this up"

"Kay" Virgil muttered as he got up, and began wiping all of the blood off of himself.

Roman began wrapping bandages around Virgil's arms, legs, and head so that Andrew wouldn't notice it was all fake.

Roman poured some more fake blood on the bandages to make it look like blood soaked through, and just like that, they were done.

"Oh yeah, also, Andrew wanted me to rape you so let's make it look like that" Roman said, getting out a butt plug and putting a bit of the blood on it.

Virgil's eyes widened in shock, "What?!"

Roman shrugged, got out a bottle of lube and lathered a bunch of 'toys' with it so it looked like he used them. He ignored when Virgil said 'I bet you'd like that.'

————————————————————

Andrew had just finished beating up his wife, when he got a text from Roman, saying that he had finished with Virgil.

Andrew smiled, and showed the pictures of Virgil to Lucia, who looked half dead.

Man, it's fun being the bad guy.
