(Warning: swearing, violence, fluff, realization of love)

     I am not a happy camper. I had finally gotten home from work and I find Remy, Damian, Logan, Patton, and hot stu-I mean Roman all passed out on my floor. A movie was blaring through the tv, some disney movie I had never seen and candy all over the place. I just sighed and stepped over them, walking into my room.

   You see, I havnt been sleeping since I was hit with the car. I was just busy and never had the time to sit down and relax. So you can imagine my shitty mood. I threw my jacket off and stabbed my sythe into the wall before going and collapsing in the bathtub.

  ~Virgil's dream third person~

Virgil was running. Running as fast as he could away from them. His left wing snapped in several different places and dragging behind him.

They were gaining on him.

His breathing was rugged and short. He rounded the corner to only be met with a dead end. He quickly turned to face them. Their eyes bright orange, piercing into his soul. Virgil screamed. Shouting for anyone to save him before they attacked.

   ~End dream Virgil's pov~

   I woke up to someone shaking me. I could hear shouting. When I opened my eyes, I was met with several worried faces. "Dude. You alright? You started screaming." Damian said. I sat up, rubbing my head. "Im fine. Just a nightmare. It was Jackyl. He was.. Chasing me." I said, closing my eyes again. "If you say so dude. How about you go back to sleep and one of us stay with you?" Damian suggested, eyeing Remy with a knowing look. "Okay then. Roman. You take first watch." Roman nodded and everyone left.

    I smoothed out my breathing, not caring that Roman was watching. "Hey Virge. Why are you in the bath tub?" Roman asked after a couple minutes of silence. "Why arnt you?" I asked, not realizing what I was asking due to my sleepy state. "You want me to get in the bath tub with you?" He asked, uncertainty in his voice. "Sure" is all I said.

   He blushed a pink color before climbing in with me, the tub being kind of small so both of us were pressed up against each other. I just laid down and buried my face in his chest, yawning. He wrapped and arm around me and I dosed off again.

So there we were. Cuddling in a bathtub.

   Im not entirely sure who did it, but a couple hours later, one of us shifted and kicked the nob. Freezing cold water started flooding the bathtub, causing both Roman and I to shoot awake and trample over eachother to get out of the tub. We ended up finding ourselves in an awkward situation. I was now on top of Roman, hands at the sides of his head. So naturally, I had to say "Gee Ro, didn't know you were a bottom".

    Roman blushed hardcore and covered his face with his hands. I chuckled and got off him, turning off the water in the tub. "Jesus Virgil." He murmured before getting up himself, following me into my room. Well I ducked under my sythe to get to my closet, but he didn't. So Roman ran right into the handle of my sythe. "Fuck!" He shouted. Oh right! He can't see it. Welp. "What the fuck?" He said, waving at the air in front of him. I pulled the sythe out of the wall, throwing it into the ceiling. To Roman, it looked like some sort of dance move.

    "You're very strange." He said with a weird look on his face. "Oh shut up and change into these." I threw some black sweats and a pink hello kitty shirt at him. Don't even ask why I have that, I just like the color black. I yet again, got a weird look before Roman stripped his shirt off and tossed it to the side. Now that was a picture. I couldn't help, but stare at him while he slipped on the tight fitting shirt. I turned back to the closet when he changed his pants.

   It wasn't uncommon for reapers to love humans. How do you think we reapers are born? I knew I had feelings for Roman, but would probably never act on them because of my anxiety. I quickly changed into a purple long sleeved shirt and green pajama pants. "Alright Roman. Im tired as fuck and done with everyones shit. It's up to you if you wanna stay and nap with me." I said, before flopping onto the bed. I was facing my wall, closing my eyes. I soon felt the bed move then an arm wrapping around me.

    I fell back asleep after awhile, Roman spooning me. I felt protected and safe. If only that would have lasted.

There ya go. Kind of random, but major move towards their relationship and important.

I hope you are enjoying this story so far and I hope you are having a great day/night!

Take it easy guys, gals, and my fellow non-binary pals! Peace out!
