So pretend that it's a few day's before Valentine's Day.

High school au

{Third Person POV}

"Do you think Patton would like this?" Logan asked as he got out frosting, "Probably, he loves cookies and you, so to him it's a perfect combination" Janus said as he grabbed some glue, "Good point"

They continued working on what they were getting their boyfriend's, Janus was making a paper heart chain and was going to get a present too and Logan was making a batch of heart shaped cookies and got him a present.

The two were talking when they heard the door from downstairs slam open. "Is he already home?" Janus asked as he listened to what was happening downstairs, "Well it has to be him, who else would it be?" "Crap! C'mon we have to hide these" he stood, grabbing the paper chain he was working on and hiding it under his blankets.

"Um.. why?" Janus looked at him like he was stupid, "Because Vee hates Val-" "Don't say the V-word" Virgil said as he opened the door and went to his bed, sitting down, "You mean "virgin"?" He glared at Logan, "No, that one day a year that sells roses for way too much"

"Oh.. well why don't you like Valen-" "Don't say it!" "Okay... well why don't you like it?" "Logan!" "Wha-"

"Isaac Williams"

"Who?"

"His name was Isaac Williams"

"Okay.. what does Isaac have to do with this?"

Janus rolled his eyes, "Idiot, he liked him" "Don't call me an idiot" "Well you're acting like one"

"Hey Patt" he looked up, "Yeah?" "Do you know what I should get Jan?"

"You didn't get him anything?! What the hell Remus!" Sighing Remus turned to Roman, "I didn't ask you" "Well you should've, because I have to perfect idea" "Alright, what is it?" "Make him a card!"

"Oh, you mean what you're doing?"

"Well this is different"

"How's that?"

"Instead of normal Valentine colours these are his favourite colours"

"You mean the opposite of Valentine colours?"

"Well... yeah"

"Okay, well you can make your emo heart card thing, I'll figure out what I'm getting Jannie" "Shut up or I'll throw this glue gun at you" he smirked, "Do it then" "I can't, I'm using it" "Using it for that giant heart?"

"Shut up!" Laughing, he got up, "Okay, well I'm gonna go to the store, maybe I'll get an idea" "Yeah, whatever"

Roman went back to the card he was making, it was pretty big, and was shaped like a heart. Along the edge there was white lace, that he thought went pretty good with the black and purple glitter and paper.

Valentine's Day is one of Roman's favourite holiday because you get to celebrate love, and something he loves is love. (What is this sentence?)

"What did you get Lo?" Roman asked as he added more black glitter to the card, "Just a simple card and a present" "Nice. I'm hoping Vee will like my card" "Did he ever say that he likes you?" "Well... no, but I have hope"

"Okay..."

The next day

Roman opened his locker, seeing dozens of little paper hearts fall out, "Oh! Well that's weird" "Maybe Vee got you one" Patton said from behind him, "You think so?" "Maybe" he scanned the cards, looking for any sign it was him.

"I don't think any of them are" he said, sighing, "Well maybe he'll tell you eventually" he shrugged, grabbing his books, "Maybe"

Virgil went to lunch, he decided to sit alone instead of with the others, since they would be doing couple-y things and he didn't want to watch.

Roman walked around, trying to find Virgil, when he seen him sitting outside

There he is!

Odd that he's outside though..

He got up and started walking to where he was, but before he could get to where he was he got surrounded by people.

Dammit, why do I have to be so amazing??

"Uh- Excuse me, I'm trying to get to-" he watched as Virgil got up and left his spot, "Nevermind.."

Virgil walked home thinking about the V-word, Maybe I should give it a chance? But wh-

"Hi Emo Nightmare" Roman greeted as he walked next to him, interrupting his thoughts, "Hey Princey" "So.. excited for Valentine's Day?" "Kinda" "Well their having that dance and I was wondering if you were excited or anything"

"I don't think I'm really gonna go"

Oh..

"Really?" "Yeah, but maybe I will" "Okay, well I have to go this way" he pointed across the street, "Alright, bye Ro" "Bye Vee, see ya tomorrow"

Sighing, Roman walked to his house, It's still possible he'll ask you "Yeah I guess" he mumbled to himself, walking up to his house and opening the door.

"Dammit Virgil!" "What?" He asked, looking up from his phone, "Remus just called and said Roman is weeping about you not going to the dance!" "But-" "I don't care! Call him"

"Bu-"

"You're doing it, and don't say you don't like him, because we all know you do" "Ugh.. fine" he grabbed the phone his mom left from when she had the room, it was more of a house phone really.

Roman was laying on his bed when he heard his phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hi Ro.."

"Virgil?!"

"Um..."

"Virgil?"

He heard that the person on the other end hung up and sighed, "I doubt it was him anyways" he told himself as he laid back down.

"Virgil!"

"I'm sorry! I got nervous! It's not like I can just tell him!" "Yes you can!" He took out his phone, "Watch"

"Hi Jannie!"

"Hi Ree"

"Did you need something?"

"Just wanted to tell you I love you"

"Love you too Jannie!"

He hung up and Virgil glared at him, "See? Easy" "It's easy for you because you're already dating" "Whatever"

Logan came in the room and seen the two sitting on Virgil's bed, "What are you two doing?" He asked as he sat on his, "Virgil's too nervous to ask Roman to that dance thing" "Why? It's easy"

"Stop saying that! It's not easy!" "Well I can make it easy" he looked over at him, "Really? How?" "I remember seeing a study where the subject would wear headphones to bed with a recording basically telling them what to do" "And you think that would help Virgil?"

"That's why I brought it up" he said as he started writing on a notebook, "Let me see your phone" "Why?" "So I can make the recording"

Later in the night

Roman was sleeping peacefully when he started hearing a tapping on the window, yawning, he went to the window, opening it enough for him to look out. Looking outside he seen a familiar figure and got curious, slowly climbing out the window, the roof was flat there so he didn't worry about falling.

Sitting on the roof he heard a voice from below.

"Careful Ro!"

He froze, who was that? Their voice sounded familiar.

Looking down be seen someone dressed in black and purple starting to climb up a ladder, This is weird he thought as he climbed up to where Roman was.

"And who are you?" He asked as the person made it to the top, "You don't recognize me?" He shook his head, "That's too bad, I go to your school after all" "Really?" He nodded, "Okay, well what's with the mask?"

The person was wearing a dark violet and white lace mask that went over their eye's, so naturally Roman was curious, "Well I can't show who I am silly, that would be embarrassing" "Well.. I guess it would" "Exactly. Now here" he took out a red rose and handed it to him, "Thank you! It's beautiful" he said as he took it, setting it beside him, "Well not as beautiful as you"

He felt himself turn red and smiled, "Thanks.. um.. what do you want me to call you?" "You can call me Anxiety" "Anxiety? Okay, well thank you Anxiety" "You're welcome" he smiled, "So why did you come here in the middle of the night?" "Because it's not like I can do it during school"

"Okay, that makes sense" "Glad you think so"

The two talked until Roman looked at his watch, "You better go, it's getting late" "You're right, see you tomorrow night" "See ya" he waved a little, watching as he went back down the ladder.

"Anxiety?" He went back up a little, "Yeah?" "Thanks for coming, I was feeling pretty bad earlier" "Well I'm glad I helped" Roman smiled before kissing his cheek, "Bye" "Good bye Ro"

He climbed all the way down and Roman watched as Anxiety made his way down the street.

Virgil woke up exhausted, which was odd because for once he had gotten good sleep and didn't fall asleep at like, midnight. Groaning, he took the blanket off him, You should ask him today "No, not today" he told himself, standing up from his bed.

Roman woke up giddy for the end of the day, Wait, was that just a dream? He looked at his bedside table and seen a red rose by his lamp, "Nope, it was real"

"What was real?" He looked over and seen Remus standing in the doorway, "Nothing, don't worry about it" "Alright"

"So did the recording help at all?" Janus asked as they walked in the school, "Sort of, I feel somewhat confident but I'm not ready to ask him to the dance" "Well that's progress" "Yeah, I guess"

"He was so amazing!" Roman told his friend, who shrugged, "He does sound pretty great, but you've only known him for a little while" "I know, but it feels like I've know him forever, y'know?" She nodded, "I know what you mean, but you still need to be careful" "I will, I will"

Time skip to night because I kinda ran out of ideas

Roman was sitting by his window, waiting for Anxiety to show up, "Ro, what are you doing?" "Thinking" he said simply, "Alright, well I'm going to bed, good night" "'Night"

Two hours later Roman seen someone knocking on his window, "You're here!" He said happily, opening the window, "Well of course I am, why would I leave someone so beautiful alone?" He giggled quietly, "I'm not beautiful"

"Of course you are" "No, I'm not" he smiled, cupping his face with his hand, "Yes, you are" "Okay, I'm beautiful" "There you go, don't want you feeling insecure" "You're so nice to me" "Well of course I am"

They talked, Roman getting to know the mysterious person who liked him so much. "Oh! I almost forgot" Anxiety pulled out another red rose and handed it to him, "Thank you!" He gushed, taking it and setting it on the window ledge.

"You're so cute when you're excited" Roman felt himself turn dark red and grinned, "I guess so" "Yeah, and you're cuter when you're blushing" he turned a darker shade, "Stop it.." Anxiety chuckled, "But it's so cute"

He gave a small smile, "You think I'm just amazing don't you?" "What else would I think?" Laughing, he leaned closer to the other, taking his hand, "Well why do you think that?" "Because you're nice, and funny, and absolutely beautiful" he said as Roman leaned closer, "I'm glad you think so"

Smiling, he closed the small gap between the two, capturing his lips in a sweet kiss. Roman pulled away slightly before continuing to kiss him, deepening it a little.

The two pulled away, panting a little, "Well that was amazing" Roman said as he ran his hands threw his hair, messing it up, "True" Anxiety said, smiling to himself.

Grinning, he gave him a quick peck on his lips, "You should go, see you tomorrow" "See you tomorrow dearest" blushing pink, he leaned forward and kissed him gently, feeling him kiss back, "Okay, now you need to leave" "You sure?" He laughed softly, "Yes I'm sure"

"See you tomorrow then" "Wait, one more thing" "Okay, what is it?" "Do you want to go to the dance with me?" "Of course" he beamed, "Great! Now hurry and go"

He climbed back down and Roman sighed in content, grabbing the rose Anxiety gave him and standing, going to his bed.

"Ugh.. I'm so tired" Virgil groaned as he walked in the school, seeing an excited Roman bouncing up to him and Janus, "Guy's, guess what??" "What?" Janus asked. "I got a date to the dance!" He sang, spinning in a little circle.

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw

"R-really?" He nodded excitedly, "Well what's his name?" Janus asked as he glanced at Virgil, "Well he goes by Anxiety" "That's weird" Janus said as they started walking, "Says the person who went by Deceit for years. Anyway, he's so sweet and nice" "What's he look like?" "Uh.. well I don't exactly know, he wears a dark violet and white mask that goes over his eyes, but he usually wears black clothes"

"Okay, that's weird"

Time Skip!

Virgil went straight ("straight") to his room, Roman said that Anxiety wore a black hoodie and dark violet and white mask, and if he remembered correctly he had a black hoodie he got from his mom and the same mask from New Years.

Going to his closet he seen that the mask and hoodie was there, "Okay... but am I him?" He put the hoodie on over his shirt and tied the mask around his head, "But Roman also said he wore his hair a certain way" he moved his hair out of his face and looked at his reflection.

So I guess I'm Anxiety

Wait, that means I'm taking Roman to the dance

Smiling to himself he took of the mask, setting it on his desk, tonight he wouldn't sleep.

Virgil glanced at his clock, seeing it was eleven twenty-five, he got up and grabbed the mask, he's had the hoodie on for hours, he also grabbed a red rose he saw on his desk, he was probably supposed to give that to Roman. He climbed out his window, balancing himself carefully, "How do I not remember doing this?" He asked himself as he walked, trying not to fall.

When he finally got down he made his way to Roman's house.

A few minutes later he was climbing up a ladder that went to where his room was. When he was at the top he seen Roman sitting by the window, looking out it. Smiling to himself he walked up to the window, knocking on it silently and seeing Roman perk up, opening it.

"There you are!" He said as he kissed his cheek, Alright, I'm liking this he thought as Roman grinned at him, "So are you excited for tomorrow?" "Of course" "Great! I'm really excited to go with you" "I'm excited to go with you too"

Remember to be flirty, Roman said he is

"So when do you want to meet?" He asked, "How 'bout at four?" "Good idea!" "Oh, and here" he handed him the red rose from his desk, "You're so nice" he leaned forward and kissed him softly, Virgil kissing back quickly.

Pulling away, he smiled, "You're a real good kisser" Virgil said as he watched him out the rose on the edge of the window, "You're not too bad yourself"

After a few hours of talking Virgil glanced at the clock, seeing it was now one in the morning and he could tell Roman was getting tired, "You need to get to sleep, okay?" "Mm.. alright" Virgil smiled, kissing his head softly, "Good night dearest" "'Night" he mumbled, watching as Virgil went back down the ladder.

Well that was fun he thought as he walked back to his house.

Four o'clock the next day

Roman was sitting on his roof, waiting for Anxiety to show, and after a few minutes he heard rustling and looked, seeing him come up the ladder.

"There you are! Ready to go?" He smiled, "Of course" grabbing his hand they got down and headed for the school.

"Where's Virgil?" Logan asked Janus, who shrugged, "He's probably at home moping" "Why would he be moping?" Patton asked, confused, "Because Ro got a date to the dance" "He did?" Janus glanced at him, "You didn't know?" He shook his head, "Well that's weird"

They them seen Roman walk in with someone wearing a violet and lace white mask, "That looks familiar" Logan said as he looked at the mask, "Because it's Virgil's New Years mask" Janus told him, watching as Roman walked up to them.

"Guy's look!" He said excitedly pointing to Virgil, "We seen, so this is Anxiety" Janus said as he gave a look to Virgil, "Yep!" He said, popping the P.

Eventually Roman went to go talk to some friends and left Virgil with with the other's. "So you're Anxiety" Janus said, "Yeah.." "Then why did you look so sad when he said he got a date?" "Because I didn't know until last night"

"Vee, when exactly are you going to tell him?" Patton asked, "Uh.. never?" "Wrong answer" Janus told him, watching and Roman came back.

They three watched as they danced, "It's like he's a whole other person" Janus said as Remus came back, "Who is?" He pointed to the dancing couple, "Is that Vee?" "Yep" "Why's he wearing a mask?" "Because your idiot brother doesn't know he is, he thinks he's a whole other person" "Oh God.."

"We'll we're going to go dance" Logan said as he grabbed Patton's hand, taking him to the dance floor, "Okay, we're gonna sit here and judge people" "You do that"

Virgil smiled as he danced with Roman, "When exactly can I see what you look like?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, "Soon" he responded, "Great, I can't wait to see what you look like"

Eventually they two got tired of dancing and sat, "I'm gonna go outside" Roman said as he pointed to the doors, "Alright" he gave him a small smile before going out.

He's so nice, but I don't think I like him, I still like Vee (he is!)

Sighing, he sat on a bench, head in his hands, "Maybe I should just forget about Virgil..."

"I'm gonna go check on him" Virgil told Janus as he got up, going outside.

He looked around before he heard Roman's voice.

"I just wish Vee was here"

Sighing, he went back inside, "Patt?" He turned, "If Roman asks tell him I'm in the bathroom" "Alrighty"

Roman came back in, looking for Anxiety, "Patt, do you know where Anxiety went?" "He went to the bathroom" "Okay.."

He sat with his head in his hands again, before hearing a voice.

"Hey Princey"

He looked up, seeing Virgil with his arm held out, "Wanna dance?" He nodded, taking his hand.

"I thought you weren't coming?"

"I changed my mind"

"Well I'm glad you did"

He smiled, leaning in and kissing him softly, Roman kissing back instantly, wrapping his arms around his shoulders, deepening it slightly.

They pulled away, "This is the best Valentine's Day ever" Virgil said as they continued dancing, "It really is"

After a few more dances something fell out of Virgil's pocket, "What's that?" Roman asked as he picked it up, showing it was a dark violet and white mask.

Smirking, he showed it to Virgil, "What's this?" "Umm.." laughing, he tied it around his head, "So you're Anxiety" "Uh.. yeah" he kissed his cheek, "Good to know"

I wish I was kidding this took forever.

And I may or may not have gotten the inspiration for this from an Alvin and the Chipmunks episode.
