TW: cussing, Remus

High school au

{Third Person POV}

Shit! I forgot my jacket! Roman thought as he ran outside and into the freezing rain.

"Shit!" He shouted and heard his brother laugh next to him. Roman slowly turned to look at him, glaring. Remus wasn't wearing a jacket either, but Roman honestly wasn't sure if he'd ever seen Remus wear one.

The two stood in the rain, Remus kicking at rocks and splashing around in puddles, sometimes tossing the rocks in an attempt to skip them.

Roman stood next to him, arms around himself since he was starting to get cold and he was wearing a short sleeved shirt.

He looked down at his watch and seen it was seven fifteen, the bus usually came at seven ten.

"Great.." He mumbled, "What's great?" Remus asked, looking up from collecting rocks for his collection.

"The bus is late."

"Or we missed it."

"Yeah, that's loads better."

"Hey! I bet we can catch up with the others! They walk to school too!" Remus said as Roman started walking down the street.

"Actually, Logan's parent's usually drive him on their way to school and Patton rides the bus that goes to his house."

"Well Janus and Virgil walk." Remus said, catching up with his brother. "So I'm sure we can catch up with them."

"Probably. What time do they usually leave?" "I dunno, like, around now?"

"Well we'll walk by their houses to see." Roman said.

As the two continued walking they got to Janus' house, seeing him just walking out the door with a yellow and black polka dot umbrella in his hand.

"Janus!" Remus waved and the other looked up, his beanie half covering his eyes.

"Remus! You idiot! Why don't you have a jacket on!" He shouted as he walked over to the twins, his umbrella open and over himself.

"I'm not cold." "You're gonna get sick." Janus stated before turning to Roman, "Where's your jacket?"

"I forgot it." He muttered and Janus sighed, "We can share my umbrella then." He said and handed it to Remus to hold over the three.

The three walked down to Virgil's house, which was only about two houses down from Janus'.

Much like Janus, Virgil was also just walking outside, although he didn't have an umbrella.

"Virgil!" Janus shouted over to the teen.

He looked up and was confused to see Remus and Roman standing next to Janus.

"What're you two doing here?" He asked once he walked up to the three. "Their bus was late."

"Or we missed it."

Janus rolled his eyes, "Or they missed it." "Alright," he then turned his attention over to Roman, who still had his arms around himself.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked as they started walking. "I forgot my jacket." He mumbled, "Well that must suck." "Well yeah, I'm kinda freezing."

Virgil rolled his eyes, "Hang on."

He took off the leather jacket, he was wearing, habding it to Roman to hold and showing off his usual black and purple one underneath.

He unzipped it and took back the leather jacket, handing Roman the other one in return.

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

"Um, wear it?" Virgil said. "I could've told you that, Ro." Remus said from next to him and he rolled his eyes as he slipped the jacket on.

It was warm from when Virgil was wearing it and was actually a little big on him, giving him kinda-sorta sweater paws.

He lifted the hood and it went over his eyes a little, but it was fine, he could still see.

The group got to school and seen the rest standing under one of the trees outside, Logan holding an umbrella with Patton next to him on his phone.

"Hey guys," Virgil said as they approached. Patton looked up and grinned, "Hi guys!" He turned to Roman and seen he was wearing Virgil's jacket.

"..Why are you wearing Vee's jacket?"

Roman felt his face burn red in embarrassment before explaining, "W-well," Why did I stutter? "I forgot mine so he let me wear it." "Oh, okay."

Patton then started talking to Janus but Roman felt... off.

He thought about it for a moment, the feeling was almost embarrassment, but it was also something else, he felt like he knew it though.

He heard the bell ring and followed the rest of the group in the school

Roman sat on the bus that afternoon next to Remus, who was busy drawing on his arm/hand with a Sharpie he found.

"Remus?"

"Hm?" Remus hummed, finishing the drawing on his right arm before switching hands to draw with.

"You know what a crush feels like, right?"

"Um..Yes?"

"It's that happy, fuzzy feeling,"

"Mm-hm.."

"And you feel excited when you're around them and just feel adored and wh-"

"Roman, what's your point? We're gonna be home soon and when I get off this bus I'm going to be ignoring you the rest of the day. Now, what is it?"

"..Nevermind." He said as the bus slowed down to let someone off.

Remus rolled his eyes but continued to draw on his arm.

When the two got home Roman went straight to his room to lay down.

He told Virgil he'd give his jacket back soon, considering be had forgotten he was wearing it until the end of the day and Virgil had already started walking back home.

So here he laid in his bed, the hood of Virgil's jacket completely covering his face.

He noticed the jacket smelled like lavender and chamomile, both calming to him as he laid down.

He also, maybe it was just his mind playing tricks on him, smelled a hint of coffee.

He heard a banging on his door and sat up suddenly as his door opened, revealing Remus.

"What's wrong with you? What were you doing when I came in?"

"N-nothing! Don't worry about it!"

"Were you watching porn or something?"

Roman blushed before shouting, "N-no! What do you want anyways!"

"I wanted to borrow your nail polish." He said as he walked across Roman's room and to his vanity, picking up the silver nail polish Roman never used but also didn't want Remus to have.

"There, you have it. Now go."

Remus rolled his eyes but walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Roman laid back on the bed, this time laying back, his head resting on the array of pillows and stuffed animals on his bed.

He let his mind wander as he inhaled the almost intoxicating scent of the hoodie.

He imagined Virgil had lavender oil and that was why it had the smell. He imagined Virgil in the morning making himself coffee and taking small sips as he scrolled through his phone. He imagined Virgil making himself chamomile tea when he couldn't sleep and reading to get himself tired.

His thoughts wandered farther.

He imagined the teen in the morning, but not at school when his hair was neat. But right after he woke up, he imagined his dark brown and purple hair sticking up randomly as he laid down, too tired to sit up and start the day.

He imagined him when he was doing Math, focused and almost as if he were in his own world as he worked out the problem, having doubts as he turned the paper in, only to get it back and have most all of the answers correct.

He imagined when he would tell one of his jokes and would smirk cockily, although his eyes would be filled with amusement.

As Roman laid in bed thinking of scenarios a certain one got stuck in his head.

He imagined Virgil sitting next to him and tilting his face towards his own. He imagined him leaning closer until Roman could see his eyes, see his pupils dilate as he stared at him intently.

He imagined Virgil leaning in more, kissing him slowly and gently. He imagined himself kissing back the same way, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him more towards himself. He imagined the two pulling away for a moment before kissing again, this time for a shorter amount of time.

Roman felt a smile spread on his face before he realized something.

He likes Virgil.

He.

Likes.

Virgil.

I actually really love this.

I hope you guys did too, because it actually took a while.

So yeah, that's all I really have to say.

But I am going to sleep considering it's ten and I have school and physical therapy tomorrow.

Yay.
