TW: sad Virgil (not for long though) and cussing

Roommate/college au

{Third Person POV}

Roman was on the couch, happily watching Beauty and the Beast.

He heard the door open and turned to it, seeing Virgil walk inside, "Hey Vee." He looked at him, a little surprised anyone was home, "Oh, hey Princey. I thought you and Remus had that project?" "Yeah, he had a date with Jan, so we rescheduled." "Oh." He then walked up the stairs and Roman turned back to the T.V.

Just as he was about to start singing along he heard a door slam and very loud music play from a certain emo's room.

He turned up the T.V., only for the music to get louder and louder.

Sighing, he got up, dragging his blanket behind him and up the stairs.

He got to the dark brown, wooden door with a piece of paper stapled to it reading, Virgil in neat handwriting.

"Virgil!" He yelled to the man on the other side of the door, "Turn your music down!" He didn't get a response, just music playing loudly. He banged on the door, trying to get his attention, "Virgil!"

Nothing.

He grabbed the doorknob, not really thinking it would be unlocked. He turned it, and surprisingly, it was.

He opened the door, walking in.

Virgil stomped up the stairs to his and his roommate's apartment, today had not been a good day.

He figured no one else would be home, Patton would be visiting his parents, Logan would be tutoring, and Roman should be with Remus working on a project for English.

He opened the door, surprised to see it was unlocked, There's probably a murderer in there.

Good, I hope they kill me.

He walked inside, setting his keys on the counter.

"Hey Vee." He looked up, surprised anyone was home, and seen Roman on the couch, his red and white pokadotted blanket in his lap.

"Oh, hey Princey. I thought you and Remus had that project?" "Yeah, he had a date with Jan, so we rescheduled." "Oh."

Crap

He then walked upstairs, trying to go as fast as he could.

He opened his door, flicking the light on and going in, slamming the door behind him.

He probably heard you.

Don't give a fuck right now.

He walked to his stero, plugging his phone in and going to a playlist.

He pushed play, taking his jacket off and flinging it to his desk chair and laying on his bed, face in a pillow.

Maybe if I stay here long enough I'll suffocate and die.

Doubt it.

He got up, the music wasn't loud enough to drown everything out.

Why isn't he using his headphones?

Because he lost them.

Yay.

He sat back on his bed, grabbing a pillow and hugging it tightly, burrying his face into it, feeling hot tears flowing down his face.

He huffed, reaching up and wiping away the tears, attempting to make it stop.

He didn't even know why he was crying, he just felt like crying when he was at work. Despite how loud the music was he heard footsteps approaching the door.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Bang!!!!

No, no, no-

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Bang!!!!

He tried to calm down, but it didn't help, he just cried more.

He heard the banging stop.

He must be gone

All he heard was the song playing, but he felt something on his shoulder.

He turned, seeing Roman with his blanket wrapped around him, his hand on his shoulder.

"Emo?"

"Y-yeah..?"

"You okay?"

Do I look okay?

"....no"

He sat across from him on the bed, "Wanna talk about it?" He sighed, "That's the thing!" Roman shot back as the other stood up, "I don't even know what's wrong! I just felt like crying in the middle of work!" He started pacing back and forth, "There's, there's something wrong! I just don't know what!"

He looked back at Roman, who looked like a confused puppy, which mad him look quite adorable, He probably can't hear you because of the music idiot.

He walked to his phone, turning the music down, "Can you hear me now?" Roman nodded, "Good."

He explained again before sitting next to the other, "Not only that, but I'm cold" he mumbled, "Well that's one thing I can help with." Roman said, taking his blanket and wrapping it around him.

"Thanks Ro, but I already have a blanket." "But mine are always warmer." Virgil chuckled softly, "You're right."

The two sat in comfortable silence, but listening very closely you could hear Virgil's phone still playing.

"Virgil?" "Hm?" "Do you have an idea as to why you feel," he waved his arm up and down, "this?"

He shrugged, "I dunno." "Alright." They heard the door downstairs open and Roman stood, "I should probably go back downstairs, my movie is still playing." "Um.. actually," he paused, "would you mind staying in here with me?"

Oh my God yes.

"Y-yeah, sure." Virgil smiled as he sat back down, "You can watch your movie in here though." He smiled, "Thanks Vee."

He grabbed the remote, going on Disney+ and putting on Beauty and the Beast.

"You gonna sing all the songs?"

"Of course."

He smiled, "Good, I like your singing." "Really? I thought you hated it." He shook his head, "Nope."

The two were now against the headboard, Virgil with his head on Roman's shoulder, "Kiddos! Time to eat!"

"I don't wanna go downstairs..." Virgil mumbled, pulling Roman's blanket over his face, "Why not?" "I don't wanna get up." "How about I go get our plates?" Roman suggested, sitting up.

"You do that."

Roman smiled before going downstairs.

He walked in the kitchen, seeing Logan and Patton sitting at the table, "Where's Vee?" "In bed." He said, grabbing two forks (dinglehoppers), "Is he sick or something?" Logan asked, "No, he just didn't want to get up."

"Oh, well you better take a drink up there too." "Good idea!" He grabbed two water bottles, along with their plates and started walking back upstairs.

You've been watching movies with him all day.

And he was so close!

He grinned like and idiot, opening the door to Virgil's room.

"There you are!"

~

It was now night and completely dark in Virgil's room, except for the T.V. of course.

"You should head to your room." Virgil said, yawning, "You sure? Do you feel better now?" He nodded, "Yeah, I guess." "Hm... I think I'll stay in here." He shrugged, "Alright." He laid down, "I'm going to sleep."

Roman had just noticed that he was also tired, and laid down next to the boy, facing him.

"Hi." Virgil laughed, "Hi Princey."

Soon later the two were asleep.

Roman woke up, feeling something laying on him.

He opened his eyes, seeing the something laying on him was a sleeping Virgil. Smiling, he pulled him closer, feeling the other shift slightly.

"'Morning Ro." He heard him mumble, "Good morning Emo." "Mm... can we stay in bed?" "Of course." He smiled, cuddling closer to the other.

It stayed silent until Roman asked something.

"Virgil?"

"Yes?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Of course."

"Will you be mad if I do?"

"No.."

"Okay."

He sat up, the other whining at having to, "Okay.." He took a breath, "I like you." "I like you too Ro."

Not that way...

"Not that way Virgil." "Oh, you mean romantically?" He nodded, "Why would I be mad?"

"'Cause I was scared"

"Aw.." He hugged the other, pulling him close, "Well I like you too." He said, kissing the other's head.
