Roman, Logan, and Patton followed Virgil's doctor down the hall. Roman had bags forming under his eyes, considering he hadn't slept since the incident. Patton and Logan were in the same condition.
               "He's still asleep, so please do you best to keep it down until he wakes up," the doctor said, Roman nodding. She grabbed the doorknob, opening it quietly. Roman rushed in, a fresh set of tears filling his eyes at the sight of Virgil. He was pale and his chest was wrapped in gauze, him being hooked up to many devices. Patton took one look at Virgil abd had burst into tears. Logan hugged him tightly, trying to consult the male. Patton gripped his shirt, sobbing loudly. Logan bit his lip as tears stung his eyes, him leading Patton out of the room so he wouldn't wake Virgil. Roman was alone. He hesitantly walked over to Virgil's side, sitting in a chair. He couldn't tear his eyes away from his face. He looked so peaceful while sleeping. Roman bit his lip harshly as a tear rolled down his cheek, him gently taking Virgil's stone cold hand. He shakily brushed a strand of hair out of Virgil's face, more tears beginning to stream down his face.
                "I–I'm so sorry..," he whispered, cupping Virgil's face. He leaned over, pressing his lips against his temples. Roman never had the chance to even tell Virgil he loved him. Yes, he was stable, but something could go wrong at any second. He heard a grunt, causing him to tense as he looked at Virgil's face. He saw Virgil's eyes squint open, causing him to gasp.
                "R–Roman..? Where am I...? W–What happened..?" Virgil asked, causing Roman to freeze. Had he seriously bot remembered what happened. Virgil slowly pushed himself up, him squeaking loudly in pain and immediately laying back down. His eyes widened as he started to recall what had happened. His breath got heavily as he looked over his shoulder, his eyes widening as he didn't see his wings.
                 "M–My wings..," he gasped, tears swelling in his eyes. Roman quickly hugged him, trying his best not to touch his wounds. Virgil burst into tears as he started to shake violently, gripping Roman's shirt as he buried his face in his shoulder. Roman Sniffled slightly as he held the male, rubbing his back where his wounds weren't at. Virgil slowly but surely stopped shaking, him still letting out chocked sobs and hiccups. Roman bit his lip as Logan and Patton entered.

               It had been a week since the incident and Virgil was finally able to go home. They hadn't brought the car, so Roman volunteered to carry Virgil home whilst flying. He held Virgil bridal style, following Logan and Patton home. Virgil hid in his hoodie, hiding his face in Roman's neck. Roman sighed slightly, thinking. How could he make him happy?
               Roman carried Virgil to his room, the male not wanting Roman to set him down. He opened the door, kicking it open gently before walking in. He walked to Virgil's bed sitting down. He bit his lip.
               "Virgil," Roman spoke, causing Virgil to look up at him. His eyes were red and puffy, his cheeks tear stained. Roman felt his heart break at the sight. He caressed Virgil's cheek, making his cheeks go pale pink.
                "With or without wings, I still think you're an amazing and beautiful person," Roman blurted out, causing Virgil's face to go bright pink. He was completely shocked, he didn't know what to say. Roman gulped quietly before leaning in. Virgil put his finger against Roman's lips, turning away. Roman froze, his world starting to collapse as Virgil said "We can't."
               "W–What?" Roman asked, tears starting to sting his eyes. Virgil's eyes swam with tears.
               "Deceit..," was all he could make out before bursting into tears. Roman gasped, hugging him tightly.
               "H–Hey, it's okay," Roman said, stroking his hair. Virgil gripped his shirt, beginning to shake. "Don't worry about Deceit. He's not coming back." Virgil looked up at him.
                "E–Ever..?" He asked, tears still streaming down his cheeks. Roman cupped his cheeks, wiping his tears with the pads of his thumbs.
                 "Not in a million years," Roman said, smiling slightly. Virgil shyly smiled back, feeling protected. He felt safer than ever. Roman pressed his forehead against Virgil's as he wrapped his wings around him, Virgil blushing more than before. Roman also blushed as he got closer, him being able to feel Virgil's breath on his lips. Virgil leaned forward, closing the gap between them. Roman's face went bright red as he kissed back, hugging Virgil's waist. Virgil cupped Roman's face, the tips of his ears going bright red as he did. The kiss was sweet and full of the hidden love they had for each other. After a moment Roman pulled away, pressing his forehead against Virgil's. They opened their eyes, Virgil's swimming with tears. He smiled the brightest smile Roman has seen him smile, Roman's eyes brimming with tears as he too smiled. Virgil hugged him tightly, burying his face in his shoulder. Roman returned the hug, his tears of happiness streaming down his face.
                "I–I love you," Roman whispered, Virgil's smiled widened as he said "I love you, too".
