High school AU
Gangster! Virgil
Pastel! Roman

~~~~~~~

Virgil was leaned against a tree in the schools lunch yard. He had his pocket knife out and was swirling it around his fingers. Though he never cut himself.

Roman was walking around the school yard and trying to find where Patton and Logan went. He had lost them in the lunch line and was scared now. He had to sit with them before their whole table filled up. He swayed his hips slightly, looking around the yard.

Virgil had always loved looking at people and making a subconscious profile for them. He scanned the yard for people to survey. He found a girl who looked to be a cheerleader with all of her popular friends. But she sure as hell wasn't happy with them. Virgil could tell by the look in her eyes that she was longing for true friends and not just people who will use her for their own personal gain. He could tell a person's personality just by observing for a few moments.

He looked around for another "subject". He found one boy in the middle of the yard that was looking around anxiously. He had his tray of food and was getting more and more frantic by the second. He could see just how self conscious and self deprecating the boy was just by taking a quick glance. The boy was wearing a light reddish pink sweater with lavender and light blue clips in his hair, but those didn't do a thing for keeping his perfectly fluffy and curly hair out of his face. He was wearing a knee cut skirt that was also light pink and had on knee high socks that were lavender, just like the hair clips. Everything was matching and in place. Everything was placed nicely on his body and not a single thing was messy, no matter how much he tried to get it that way.

He watched the boy catch his gaze, get wide eyed, and look away. But that didn't scare Virgil. He was in a gang for fucks sake. He does illegal shit every other weekend. He smokes cigars and vapes on a daily basis. Virgil kept staring at this boy. Something about him made Virgil confused and want to know more about him.

The boy spotted something and looked dejected. He turned to look back at Virgil. He chewed his lip for a moment, Virgil never looking away from his gaze. Then he started to make his way over to the tree Virgil was under. The latter was confused to say the least. Had his ominous and spooky atmosphere not scared him off? Had he not heard the rumors about Virgil circling the halls? Or was he about to come and make fun of Virgil?

"Hey!" The boy said. He was short, well, shorter than Virgil by about two inches.

"Hi..." Virgil replied skeptically. He had always seen this boy in the halls but he never new his name or his story.

"I'm Roman!" The boy- Roman said quickly sticking out his hand for Virgil to shake.

Perfect, Virgil thought.

You see, Roman liked him and his ominous vibes. But only Patton and Logan knew about his crush. He thought about his own aesthetic, the small pastel boy, and how Virgil's fully complimented it.

"I'm Virgil." He replied, shaking Romans hand. It was a wonder how Roman didn't drop his lunch tray since he was only carrying it with one hand.

"I know! Uh- I mean- I know your name because your cool and I like cool people!" Roman paused and looked at his feet, "that cane out wrong."

Virgil slowly lifted Romans chin with his thumb, "that's okay princess," Roman blushed and Virgil leaned in to whisper in his ear, "I'm very gay anyways."

Roman shivered at the close contact and looked away blushing brightly.

"Awe did I make the princess pout?" Virgil said in a teasing manner.

"Maybe..." Roman said as he looked at Virgil with as much of a glare as he could muster. Virgil was taken back by how cute he looked even when he was trying to look angry. He had his lips puffed out slightly and his eyebrows laced together. He had his hair just barely over his eyes. Virgil looked at Roman in awe of his beauty. And when Virgil did this, he couldn't look angry at him anymore. Though Virgil snapped back into his angsty and ominous facade.

"So what are you going to do about it, princess?" Virgil prodded teasingly. Roman knew that he shouldn't get worked up about a stupid challenge. But Roman could never back down from a challenge.

"I'll show you." Roman said, putting his tray in a nearby table, and getting close to Virgil's face. Virgil's eyes widened at those words.

Roman leaned up and grabbed Virgil's face. He kissed him passionately. Virgil kissed back almost instantly. Grabbing Romans hair and pulling slightly. They stayed at it for a while.

Once they pulled away, Roman said, "how was that for doing something?"

"Well I definitely owe Patton $20 now..." Virgil said breathless.

Romans eyes widened.

"No-"

"Yeah, well Patton told me you liked me and said that he would keep the table occupied if I could get with you and share my true feelings for you." Virgil explained carefully.

"And how do you truly feel about me?" Roman asked self consciously.

"Like this," Virgil said and kissed Roman with the same passion from a second ago. Roman kissed back immediately.

"I believe I'm in love with you." Virgil said blandly.

Well? How did I do? I had so much trouble coming up with a plan for this and it wasn't exactly the best.

Anyways,

Have a great day/night!
