Also, keep an eye on the time bc it jumps around a bit (you'll know what I mean once you start reading it)-

❤️💜

Cross my heart and hope to die

Burn my lungs and curse my eyes

I've lost control and I don't want it back

I'm going numb, I've been hijacked

It's a fucking drag

Roman raised his arms, exasperated. He knew convincing Virgil to come to the party wasn't going to be easy, but damn, that boy was as stubborn as he was anxious!

Be he had to make him agree to the invitation. He'd promised Patton he'd bring his Dark Strange Son to the party, and Roman was not going to let Padre down, so...

"Come on, Virgil! Do it for Patton! Just a couple hours, a few drinks, some company, you can bear with that, can't you? For once in your life?"

At the mention of their bubbly friend, Virgil seemed to seriously consider the offer for the first time since their conversation started. "Fine-" He begrudgingly agreed, a slight scowl on his face "-Only for Patton..."

Roman threw his fist in the air in sign of victory.

"Great! I'll see you at Logan's at nine, Sunshine!"

With a scoff, Virgil ushered the flamboyant man out of the apartment, letting a mumbled "Nine In The Afternoon it is, Princey..." escape his lips.

Friday, 11:48 pm

They were both lost in the other's eyes, every noise and thing around them disappearing. The shouting people downstairs, the cream colored walls of the bedroom, the many drinks on the floor...

Roman took a step forward, and lightning sparked down both their spines as the tension grew. He captured Virgil in his arms, slowly wrapping them around his waist. The other timidly raised his own arms and flung them around the other's neck, his hands getting tangled in the light brown locks of perfectly styled hair he'd always been so in awe of.

They were so close...Virgil could feel Roman's warm breath on his lips. Roman could clearly see each and every one of Virgil's freckles.

So close...

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you

So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

You're worse than nicotine

You're worse than nicotine

Friday, 9:05 pm

As Virgil entered the room, an unidentified person captured him in a bear hug, and just by that, the emo guessed it was probably likely Patton. 

Spoiler alert, it was.

Virgil soon found himself being dragged around Logan's bottom floor in every room, and being hastily introduced to people, all while Patton was having a slight fanboy attack beside him. He was so happy to see his 'son'! He had to find Roman to thank him as so-

"Oh!-" Patton thought as he glanced over to the drink table, "-Roman's right over there!"

In a swift motion, he grabbed his friend's arm and pulled him over to where Roman was standing, drinking something from a crappy plastic cup.

"Hey Ro! Thank you so much for convincing Virgey to come!" Patton exclaimed, a smile in his voice.

Friday, 11:56 pm

Their kisses were needy and passionate. They'd both been wanting this for so long and now the moment had finally come. There had always been some sort of...tension between them, which they couldn't explain. It was like they were magnets, drawn to each order.

But they ignored it, and pushed back the feeling, because "There's no way he could actually love someone like me..."

They knew that if they got even one small taste, they would get addicted to the other. The fact both scared them and made wild butterflies swarm in their stomach.

But now, thanks to them both being tipsy and not giving a fuck about anything, here they were, making out in Logan's house's spare bedroom, Virgil's back against the wall as Roman softly kissed his neck, both of them in absolute bliss.

It's better to burn than to fade away

It's better to leave than to be replaced

I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match

I'm going numb, I've been hijacked

It's a fucking drag

"Come on, Hot Topic! Have something to drink, will you?" Roman said excitedly as he stumbled over to Virgil, holding a cup of God-knows-what, as he shoved it into the darkly dressed one's hands.

He had been bothering Virgil about 'loosening up' (as he called it) since he arrived, which bothered the other, but Roman was just as stubborn as him when it came to certain things, so he just gave in, knowing that trying to resist would be futile.

He took a small sip. Then a couple more. Finally, he gulped down half the drink.

"Happy now, Sir-Sing-A-Lot?" He asked sarcastically, a smirk on his lips.

Roman threw back his head and roared with laughter. "You have no idea how much, Hot Topic~"

Saturday, 00:12 am

Virgil had now sobered up enough to realize what was going on. He was laying on a bed, somewhere in Logan's house, making out with Roman (who was on top of him) like there was no tomorrow. The other's hair felt soft and silky as he ran his hands through it, his lips tasted of extra-sweet candy and roses, and pressed against his, they made the best feeling in the world start bubble up in Virgil's chest.

"Roman sure knows his way around, huh..." He though to himself as the other littered small kisses all over his face. "Wait- Roman?"

The anxious one's eyes snapped open and to his utter shock, he saw a shirtless and ruffle-haired Roman hovering above him, reconnecting his intoxicatingly sweet lips to his. And he freaked out.

Pushing the other off of him, he stood up and stuttered out "R-Roman...What h-happened? Not t-that I wasn't e-enjoying it, I guess, j-just-"

He felt himself being pulled into a warm hug as the princely man whispered words of comfort in his ear. He was shaking, but Roman's touch made it better.

Friday, 10:30 pm

The music had recently started growing in volume and everyone started dancing, and to both parts' surprise, they found themselves dancing close together, the faint small of alcohol present in their breath. 

Then they made eye contact for the first time that night. 

And Roman let his feelings take over once and for all, his confidence enhanced by the drinks he'd had, and slithered an arm around the shorter one's waist, pulling him closer. Virgil didn't object. 

With every second they moved closer and closer, until their chests and foreheads were pressed together. As both leaned in, not caring about the consequences, Roman suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Princess...Wanna take this somewhere more private?~"

Virgil shyly nodded.

Saturday: 00:34 am

"Roman, why...? You're not just playing with my emotions, are you...?" Virgil asked once he had calmed down and stopped shaking. "What's going on? What are we, Roman? I just- I don't..."

Roman reached out and softly placed his hand over Virgil's, intertwining their fingers together. 

"Virgil, Dear...I was- Afraid, I suppose. I'm just so desperately in love with you, but I was also convinced that you didn't feel the same...So I just made myself believe everything between us was platonic. I-I...You're just so intoxicating, Virge. And now that I've had a taste, I want, no, need more...You're addicting in the most beautiful way. And I'm probably sounding really weird right now because I'm still a bit drunk, but I swear...I really am love with you, Virgil."

Virgil felt a tear form in his right eye. He didn't manage to hold it from escaping his lower lash line. It rolled down his cheek.

"I-I...I love you so fucking much, Ro!"

Roman grinned the biggest grin of his life, and they hugged again, more tightly this time. Both felt the love radiating from the embrace.

~~~

Just one more hit and then we're through

'Cause you could never love me back

Cut every tie I have to you

'Cause your love's a fucking drag

But I need it so bad

Your love's a fucking drag

But I need it so bad

Saturday, 8:04 am

After their messy but honest conversation last night, they ended up cuddling till they both fell asleep. Virgil in Roman's arms, their limbs tangled together.

Then, a strip of sun made its way through the curtains and hit Virgil in the face. He felt himself waking up, and felt warm as strong arms cradled him close to another person's chest. And that person, he found, was Roman.

His memories from last night started flooding back.

As he was about to wake Roman up, the other shifted in his sleep and mumbled something which sounded suspiciously similar to Virgil's name. It made the anxious one smile.

"Hmmm...Virge..." Roman mumbled, his voice rough and deeper than usual from sleep. "Morning, Princey..." Virgil answered, smirking.

"You look even more gorgeous in this light, My Dark Prince..."

Virgil softly smacked him on the arm. "Shut it, you sap-"

The princely one chuckled and ruffled the other's hair. "You're too adorable for me to handle, Love..." He stopped in his tracks and locked eyes with Virgil. "Virge...would you like to be my boyfriend, maybe?"

A genuine smile made its way onto Virgil's face.

"I'd love to, Ro..."

You're worse than nicotine

Virgil found he didn't regret going to that party after all.
