The day of starting this (November 28) is the one year anniversary of this book! So yay! I'm rewriting this chapter because I look back and cringe at the writing in first person

So yeah!

Human AU!

Roman looked to the purple haired man sitting at a table all by himself with furrowed eyebrows. The man kept biting his lip and looking towards the door. He must be waiting for someone. Roman watched as he checked the door once. Twice. Three times. Roman sighed. He was waiting for a date.

Virgil checked his phone. No new messages. No new anything. Nothing from his asshole love interest that he'd been out on two dates with. They weren't even dating. Virgil didn't want to take things too fast. He waited an hour. Two. Three. He sighed. He was being stood up.

Roman stood up after the third hour and went out of the coffee shop. He would not let this man be stood up like this and be disappointed for the rest of the day. He made his way to a flower shop and picked out the finest roses.

Virgil saw the waitress come back. Her deep wrinkles outlined her smile, though it was laced with pity. "Would you like anything to drink while you wait, hun?" She asked sweetly.

Virgil just gave a small smile back, trying to be nice. "I'll just take a caramel latte."

"I'll get that goin' for you, darlin'." She said, her southern accent shown off perfectly.

"Thank you." He said as she walked away, immediately looking towards the door before seeing a very stunning looking man walk through the door with a bouquet of roses.

He locked eyes with the man and blinked a few times. He then flushed slightly as the man smiled happily and walked over, handing him the roses. "I'm so sorry I'm late, babe, my phone died so I couldn't text you and traffic was crazy and I got held up at my mom's house, you know how she can be." Roman said and leaned down to get close to his ear. "My name is Roman Prince, whoever stood you up is both an asshole and an idiot as you are the most beautiful man I've ever seen." He said and then went to sit across from him. "Now, I'm starving! Let's order something, yeah?"

Roman and Virgil walked down the street hand in hand with a small smile. They had been at the coffee shop for nearly three hours, laughing and chatting the afternoon away. They had exchanged numbers almost as soon as they walked out of the coffee shop. It was a pretty empty Saturday afternoon in the streets of Paris. They continued chatting as they walked to the field right in front of the Eiffel Tower. As soon as they got there Roman stopped them, smiling softly.

"You know, when I woke up this morning the last thing I was expecting to do was go on a date. And not only did I go on a date, I went on one of the best dates I've ever been on. It was truly wonderful to get to know you and I would love to go out again." Roman said with a small smile.

"Of course I'd love to go out with you again. I had so much fun and I loved getting to know you." Virgil said with a soft smile. "I honestly don't want this date to end."

"Well, it is almost dark. I'd hate for you to get home past dark." Roman said, a look of concern crossing his face that made Virgil absolutely melt.

Virgil moved a bit closer and went to cup Roman's face. "Then can I at least do something before I go?" Virgil whispered, turning a bit red

Roman felt his face heat up and he nodded, moving a bit closer, his breath ghosting Virgil's.

"May I?" Virgil asked, still whispering

(Now for the important authors note— consent is important, people)

"Of course." Roman whispered back and Virgil closed the gap, feeling everything he had ever wanted in a kiss and more.

After a few moments they pulled away, both of their faces bright like Christmas lights.

"I'll see you soon?" Virgil asked as he pulled away, going to start walking away

"Hopefully sooner than you think." Roman said, watching him walk away before walking off in his own direction.

And both would tell you that this was the best date they had ever been on.

Bam! I'm much more proud of that than the first one! Look at the growth! Trust me, just go back and read that chapter and then come back and read this one, it's so much improvement it's awesome

Also, thank you guys for 82k views! I never ever expected this many people to not only read my stuff but leave such nice and supportive comments and actually enjoy my writings. Y'all, I'm just a random high schooler who took up writing because they thought it might be kinda fun maybe and started writing on here a year (and a few days) ago and I could never have expected this. I love reading through your comments, they make me laugh and smile and giggle and almost happy cry because you lovelies are just so wonderful.

I've made so many new friends from here and I couldn't be happier. One of the people that have really really helped me through a whole bunch of shit (whether she knows it or not) is someone I met on here (Shapa232 I can't just not call you out) and I really enjoy writing for you guys and reading your things when I can- because I really do try and go to your profiles and see what y'all do.

I love you all so much and you've really helped me be more confident in myself. Wattpad was the first place that I ever was out on as non-binary so I really appreciate all of you guys for accepting me

Anyways! That's enough of sappy Skye for now. Have an absolutely wonderful day/night lovelies!
