Virgil's POV: (Basically last chapter but Virgil's POV instead)

My shift was over at Cream Coffee, a coffee shop. I fixed my grey beanie in case my ears were showing. I was walking home irritated because of a costumer and these oversized black jeans didn't help.

As I was walking, me being the clumsy neko I am, I bumped into someone. "S-Sorry." I stuttered. I looked up at them. They had a red cap on, a white and red shirt and blue jeans. "Hey, it's alright." They said, sticking their hand out. "I'm Roman, he/him pronouns."

I reluctantly took his hand and shook it. "Virgil... He/him." I mumbled. He smiled at me. My ears twitched under my beanie, I paid no attention to it. " Virgil, pretty name." I blushed. "T-Thanks." I stuttered. He laughed a bit.

"Is it okay if I have your number?" He asked me. Me being on autopilot, I nodded. We swapped phones. When I got my phone back I dashed into an alleyway, my heart going a million a minute. When I saw him pass the alleyway I scurried in the other direction towards home.

When I got home I shut the door an look off my beanie. I shook my head and scratched my ears. "I'm home!" I shouted. Nothing, of course. I sighed and headed towards my room. "Virgil, dear! Come here!" I heard my mom call me. I walked towards the kitchen where my mom and dad were.

"Yeah?" I responded. "Well, since your mother and I think it's time for you to move out, we found you an apartment. You'll be sharing it with three people, so you can socialize." My dad says. Of course they want me gone.

Ever since I came out to them as gay they've been acting different around me. "Gee, thanks." I said sarcastically. "When am I leaving?" I asked. "As soon as you'd like." My mom said with a smile, which was obviously fake.

I new what that meant, it meant 'as soon as possible'. I gave them a fake thanks and went to my room. I decided to text Roman. I looked at his contact name, I smiled. 'Roman👑'.

Me: hey

Roman👑: Hello!

Me: how's it going?

Roman👑: Pretty awesome. I finally found an apartment!!

Me: niiice

Roman👑: Ikr?

Me: totally

Roman👑: Gtg, mom's calling!

Me: baiiii

I stared at our conversation. I sounded so cringy. I mentally face palmed. I guess I should pack. I put my phone down and headed towards my closet.
