It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Well hello there! My motivation and inspiration has been absolutely obliterated over the past few weeks

But it sort of came back and I'm using it while I can!

i still remember the third of december,

me in your sweater.

you said it looked better on me

than it did you

Virgil walked into school on the 4th of December with a small smile on his face. He and Roman had hung out the night before. They went star gazing. Virgil hadn't brought his sweatshirt and so Roman gave him his. He had brought it home that night and slept in it.

only if you knew

how much i liked you

Virgil handed Roman's sweater back to him with a small thanks, starting to open his locker and get the things he would need for class out. Roman's locker was right next to his so they were chatting lightly. Well, more like Virgil was talking and Roman was there. Virgil turned to see what was making his crush so irregularly quiet and that's when he saw her.

but i watch your eyes as she

walks by

"What a sight for sore eyes." Roman said with a smile and a blush, his eyes trained on her as she walked by

brighter than a

blue sky

she's got you

mesmerized

Virgil's heart broke into a million tiny pieces as he watched his crush and best friend fall absolutely head over heels for this new girl.

while i die

After 9 excruciatingly long hours of school and Roman talking about this girl, Virgil got home. As he stepped in, he greeted his parents and walked straight up to his room, flopping onto the bed and staying blank. He thought over the whole day. His one and only, the only person he had ever thought of as more than a friend, was just gone. Only talking about this girl. Pushing him out.

why would you ever kiss me?

i'm not even half as pretty

Virgil got to school the next day and saw Roman talking with this girl. Soon enough, she shivered.

you gave her your sweater

it's just polyester

but you like her better

wish i were heather

About a week had passed. Roman and this girl were dating.

watch as she stands with her holding you hand

Virgil had avoided him at all cost.

put your arm round her shoulder

Because, frankly, it hurt

now i'm getting colder

But she was a good match for Roman. They were both amazing people. They would love each other for the rest of eternity. They would support each other.

but how could i hate her?

she's such an angel

And Roman could have her all to himself.

but then again, kinda wish she were dead as she

walks by

Virgil watched as she walked down the hallway this time. She was pretty. No, she was gorgeous. But it wasn't her he was staring at. He was staring straight at Roman.

what a sight for

sore eyes

Roman's smile was practically

brighter than a

blue sky

But he wasn't smiling at Virgil.

she's got you

mesmerized

And that just ground Virgil's heart to dust.

while i die

Virgil had now avoided Roman for a week or two. He couldn't remember. All his mind felt was hurt. One day, while Virgil was walking home Roman stopped him, asking what was wrong. When Virgil tried to run away, knowing he would break if he saw Roman's face, Roman grabbed his arm, turning him around and cupping his cheek so he would have to look at him. That's when Virgil broke open.

"why would you ever kiss me?" He started, tears streaming down his face freely as he backed away from Roman. "i'm not even half as pretty. you gave her your sweater."

"it's just polyester." Roman said with an exasperated look.

"but you like her better." Virgil said, turning away from Roman.

"wish i were heather." Virgil said and ran all the way back to his house.

wish i were heather.

A few days later, Virgil sat in the park on a swing on the playground. It was a Saturday. He heard footsteps behind him.

wish i were heather.

"Virgil, we need to talk." He heard Roman say behind him. He didn't turn to face him. Roman stepped in front of him, the gravel crunching below his feet. Virgil just stared right through him. "Virgil, I like you. A lot."

why would you ever kiss me?

"No you don't." Virgil replied, emotionless.

"And why not?" Roman asked, sort of at a loss for words.

"i'm not even half as pretty. you gave her your sweater. 'it's just polyester', but you like her better. wish i were-"

Virgil was cut off by a pair of lips on his own. Before he could even process it, Roman pulled away, Virgil leaning foreword slightly, missing the feeling and chasing his lips.

"I only dated her because I didn't think I had a chance with you. I gave up on us. But I'm willing to try. To give us a chance." He said, holding Virgil's face in his hands. "Are you?"
