Why?

That was the question that had been sitting in the back of his mind for months now.

Why him?

Why?

It just- didn't make sense!

And of course, one could argue that feelings don't have to make sense, that opposites can attract and that love is always a bit unexpected, but-

Having an enormous crush on someone who plainly dislikes you, if not hates you?

No sense in it at all, he thought.

And although he searched and searched in him mind, he couldn't even remember how it started, it just- did...

It just happened, slowly but surely...

He saw, now.

Saw how things truly were.

Past the closed off behavior, he now saw his concern for others.

Past the sarcasm, he now saw his insecurity.

Past the apparent edginess, he now saw a truly good, beautiful person.

That's it, he was just...beautiful.

Way, way too beautiful to ever even consider being with someone as average as Roman.

That was a fact.

He was annoying, stuck up and egoistic, and although he tried to hide how much the knowledge of that hurt him, he was fully aware of it.

Still, he couldn't help but hope...

Hope that someday that beautiful boy will come live with him, in his bright, lively and yet lonely kingdom of imagination, and turn the loneliness into passion and love...

Roman knew it would never happen, but again, there was always going to be a small flicker of hope within him.

It was a little small, but it was there.

A maybe.

Maybe it was possible?

Maybe, there was a chance that...that the Emo could love him back?

It was at the very least a hypothetical possibility, right?

Yes.

Yes, Roman could live with that.

Of course, seeing Virgil and realizing how painfully unlikely it would be for him to love someone like Roman was still going to absolutely crush him, but...

But hope still existed, and it always would, as long as Roman was alive.

He also knew that looking on the negative side of things was quite uncharacteristic of him.

But deep down, he knew it was possible. He knew there was always going to be a maybe.
