Fun fact: I used to do this and still kind of do but it's fINE. It's not as bad as this though.

TW: self-degradation, self-loathing, mini sexual talk (not much though)

Roman knocked on Virgil's door at a little after 3:00 pm.

"Hey Virgil? You in there?" Roman called when he didn't get an answer.

He went into the room. He and Virgil never really hung out in Virgil's room, they always snuggled and watched movies in Romans room. He walked around and looked for his dresser. Virgil took a makeup brush from him and he wanted it back.

"Hey kitten, I'm just going to get my makeup brush and leave alright?" He asked as he looked and saw the dresser. But when he looked fully around the room he noticed something weird. There were sticky notes on his mirror.

"Hm?" Roman was curious so he went to the mirror. He could see himself but the sticky notes were all around his reflection. Ones by his eyes and lots by his stomach, he had sticky notes all over and noticeably in the thigh, stomach, arms, and face area, but there were sticky notes all over. He noticed that there were always two sticky notes on top of each other. The ones that he could see on top had beautiful patterned drawings. Roman stares in awe. This probably took him hours on end to make! He wanted to see if the sticky notes underneath had the same drawings. He took one off near where his eyes were in the reflection.

Too large...

Was written in Virgil's handwriting, with a little arrow pointing to his eyes.

What? Is Virgil thinking this about himself?
He peeled back another,

Too flat...

Was written for his hair. He kept pulling them back and reading heartbreaking things that Virgil thought about himself.

Too fat...

Too colorless...

Scars...

And many other things along those lines.
Roman was mortified. He had to show Virgil just how beautiful he really is.

Virgil walked into romans room for a movie night, he had on his jack skeleton onesie and a tub of popcorn was in his hands. He was actually pretty excited. Roman has been rather busy with Thomas' new creative things he was doing with his YouTube channel.

"Hey kitten!" Roman greeted as Virgil walked in, he was wearing his sally skeleton onesie, and he got up and kissed Virgil and led him to bed so they could watch the nightmare before Christmas.

They watched the movie and sang along to all of the songs. The end of the movie came to soon and Roman wanted to talk to virgil about the sticky notes.

"Hey kitten?" Roman asked.

"Yeah puppy?" Virgil responded with a smile.

"I went into your room and I saw your sticky notes... they had beautiful patterns on them and I was stunned!" Roman started, slightly hesitantly. "But I wanted to ask about the sticky notes under those ones."

"O-oh." Virgil responded, looking down and playing with his hands.

"Do you really think that way about yourself?" Roman asked.

"I mean why wouldn't I? I'm ugly-"

"Your beautiful!" Roman kissed Virgil lovingly.
"What about you is ugly?" Roman asked in between kissing him.

"Everything."

"No give me specifics."

"My eyes are dull."

"Your eyes are the most beautiful shade of brown and they have a purple rim around them. When you get angry, they get a little dark and when you get tired your eyelids flutter and you look adorable" Roman went back to kissing Virgil but this time he kissed his eyebrows and temples and forehead. At this point Virgil was blushing like mad.

"My scars, they show I'm weak."

"I love your scars, they show that you have been through hard times but you were strong enough to get through that and get better. They also give me a reason to kiss your arms~" Roman pulled up Virgil's sleeves and kissed his scars.

"I'm fat,"

"Specifics kitten,"

"My stomach is fat."

"You have the perfect amount of fat, your not too skinny and your not fat, you are perfect. But even if you were fat, I wouldn't mind, more of you to love."

This went on for some time, the list growing longer and longer. And Virgil got more confident from that. Whenever Virgil was feeling down, Roman would list off things he thought that were perfect about Virgil and why.
