High school AU (they are seventeen)

"Virgil don't you see? We've been getting better! And we just need each other!" Roman practically shouted.

"No Roman! We haven't been getting better! We've been getting worse! Together! We don't need each other and we still are broken! Ever since my mom died and your dad left we haven't been the same!" Virgil screamed in response.

Roman looked at the ground, holding back tears. He knew what was happening and what Virgil was about to say.

They were standing on the school yard with about 5 feet between them.

"Look, this isn't working," Virgil gestured to both of them, "even though I really wish it could." Virgil looked up at Roman. He choked back a sob as Roman still looked at the ground, fists clenched. He walked up to Roman and Roman shoved him about 20 feet. Virgil stood facing away from him, shocked.

"Fine, we're damaged." Roman sang and then paused.

"Really damaged,
But that does not make us wise.

We're not special, we're not different,
We don't chose who lives or dies.

Let's be normal," Roman paused and then chuckled, "see bad movies,
Sneak a beer,
And watch TV.
We'll bake brownies,
Or go bowling.
Don't you want a life with me?

Can we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do.
If you could let me in,
Life could be good with you." Roman approached Virgil slowly, but Virgil was still shocked and hurt from being shoved. But he slowly turned around to look at Roman.

"People hurt us," Roman started.

"Or they vanish," Virgil said, on the verge of tears.

"And your right, that really blows.
But we let go,"

"Take a deep breath."

"Then go buy some summer clothes,
We'll go camping,"

"Play some poker,"

"And we'll eat some chili fries,
Maybe prom night?" Roman grabbed the larger males shoulders, wrapping his arms around Virgils neck.

"Maybe dancing?" Virgil put his hands on Romans waist in response.

"Don't stop looking in my eyes,"

"Your eyes..." Virgil mimicked as he did look into Romans red-brown eyes. They were like hazelnuts and chocolate. He was mesmerized and forgot why he was mad for a second.

"Can we be seventeen?
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in,
Life could be good with you.
Let us be seventeen!
If we've still got the right..." they sang together.

"So what's it gonna be?
I wanna be with you!" Roman sang passionately.

"Wanna be with you!" Virgil replied.

"I wanna be with you tonight!" They both sang and then ended in a passionate kiss, both holding each other.

"Yeah we're damaged," Roman sang, once they broke apart.

"Badly damaged," Virgil looked away from Romans eyes for a moment. Until Roman lifted his chin with his pointer finger and thumb.

"But your loves too good to lose," they sang together, both giving a sad smile.

"Hold me tighter," Roman said, falling into Virgil's chest more.

"Even closer," Virgil pulled him impossibly closer, wrapping his arms around Roman,
"I'll stay if I'm what you choose."

"Can we be seventeen?" Roman sang quietly.

"If I am what you choose..."

"If we've still got the right..."

"Cause you're the one I chose."

"Your the one I choose."

Roman pushes off of Virgil's chest slightly to look him in the eyes. Virgil was reminded again of two things. Number 1. How in love with Roman he was, and two, why he was in love with him in the first place.

"Your the one I choose," they both finished out together.

Have an amazing day/night!

Mine wasn't as good as I'd hoped but that's ok I hope yours is!
