Requested. Please do not leave your request twice, I am going to get around to all of them. Do not request any more, it will not get done if you do, my apologies. Also-the names in front of their messages are just so you're able to tell who's talking, they don't actually know each other's names at first.

New message.

Roman: Hello?

Virgil: ? who's this?

Roman: It's me, Roman! You gave me your number, remember?

Virgil: i don't know any roman's. you've got the wrong number

Roman: Oh. Well, who are you then?

Virgil: you know when people realize they have the wrong number that's usually when they stop texting that person right?

Roman: I know, but seeing as I don't have my actual friends number I need someone to talk to. So why not?

Roman: You still there?

Virgil: yeah. still don't understand why you'd wanna talk to me, but fine. like you said, why not

Roman: Great! So, am I allowed to know who it is exactly I'm talking to?

Virgil: it's... virgil. call me verge.

Roman: Virgil is a nice name, albeit a little strange. I hope to get to know you better, Verge.

It had been months since then. After that the two talked often, and knew a lot more about each other. Roman had, of course, sent Virgil many pictures. He said it was because he didn't want him to forget what he looked like, as they only ever texted, but Virgil always teased him about it being because of his huge ego. Roman hadn't seen any pictures of the other though, and he had only asked about it once.

When he brought it up Virgil seemed off. More nervous than usual, and he took a long time to answer his text. He finally explained that he was too scared to share, and Roman certainly didn't want to push him to do anything he didn't want to. He just had to trust that he wasn't secretly a wanted criminal who couldn't share his face without being caught.

They had learned that they didn't live very far apart from each other, and that they were both the same age. The more they talked the more they learned, and the more Roman realized how he had developed feelings for Virgil. He just loved everything about him. The way he talked, the jokes he told, the things that made him happy. Roman could talk with him all day, listening to him talk about what made him happy.

He had decided, after a while, that he wanted to tell him about how he felt. He didn't know how it would go, it could be a disaster for all he knew, but if there was any chance Virgil may return his feelings Roman wanted to take that chance. He loved him, and he wanted Virgil to know that.

Just as he was thinking about him Roman received a text, looking down at his phone and smiling.

Virgil: hey. whatcha up to?

Roman: Greetings. Just thinking about you! ;)

Virgil: haha yeah, for real though

Roman: I'm being completely serious. I actually have something I'd like to talk with you about.

Virgil: What is it? Is something wrong?

Roman: No, no! I did not mean to worry you, it's nothing bad. At least, I'm hoping you won't take it bad.

Virgil: take what bad? please just go ahead and say what it is before my mind comes up with ten thousand other possibilities

Virgil: oh wait, too late

Roman: Relax! I'm the one who should really be nervous here.

Roman: Anyways, I just wanted to say... I like you Virgil. Like, a lot.

Virgil: is that all you needed to say? you scared me. i like you too, that's why we're friends.

Roman: Yes but that's exactly what I'm talking about. I like you, and I was hoping that maybe we could be... more than just friends?

Roman: So if you don't feel the same can we please just move on from this and forget I ever said anything? I'm already regretting this so much

Roman: Verge, are you still there?

Roman: Please don't be mad at me

Virgil: Roman relax. i'm not mad, i was just... well i'm shocked.

Roman: Can we please forget I said anything? I'm sorry.

Virgil: don't be sorry, and let me finish talking

Virgil: thank you. roman, i like you too. i would be happy to be your boyfriend, if that's what you want.

Roman: Really? You like me too?

Virgil: duh

Roman: I'm so happy!  I was so nervous to tell you, but that was all worth it.

Roman: I love you so much

Virgil: i love you too. :)

Roman was nervous, so incredibly nervous. This was probably one of the most important days of his life, and he didn't want to mess it up.

He did his best that morning to be sure he looked perfect. He spent hours in front of the mirror, fixing up his hair and deciding what would be best to wear. It all had to be perfect for later that day.

He was meeting Virgil today.

He was nervous, but incredibly excited. The two had started dating not long ago, and Virgil had brought up wanting to finally be able to meet. They decided on a place and a time, and now that's where Roman was. He had arrived early, too excited to wait any longer, and now just had to wait until Virgil got there. His hands were shaking, and his stomach full of butterflies as he imagined what Virgil might be like. What he should say when he saw him, wondering whether he looked good enough. Worrying over whether or not Virgil might like him in person.

His attention was turned to his phone as it buzzed in his pocket, and he took it out with shaking hands, nearly dropping it a few times. He saw a new message from Virgil.

Virgil: so, i hope you'll forgive me if I'm not everything you were hoping for

Virgil: i'm sure i don't look anything like what you pictured i might

Virgil: I'm here now. turn around

Roman froze up, it finally dawned on him that he was about to meet the love of his life, and all he had to do was turn around. He shoved his phone back into his pocket, took a deep breath, and turned to face him.

"Hi," Virgil whispered, a nervous laugh escaping his lips. Roman didn't say anything for a moment, couldn't say anything, just looking at Virgil and taking everything in.

"You... are stunning." He breathed, smiling at him and stepping closer. His hand came up to touch his cheek, almost as if resting whether or not he was really there, as surely only someone in Roman's dreams could be this wonderful. Not only that, but Virgil was his boyfriend. He couldn't believe it. "I'm not sure how I managed to get so lucky."

"Oh, come on," Virgil laughed again, and Roman could feel himself falling even deeper in love with him. "I'm not.. I'm not that great."

"You're wonderful, and I mean that." Roman looked at him seriously. "Really, you... Are better than I ever could have imagined. I love you, so much."

Virgil's face turned a bright red, and he smiled. "I love you too. Though, you are the really wonderful one. I'm the one who's lucky to have you."

The two of them were drawing closer as they spoke, Roman's hand still resting on his cheek and the other moving around him to pull him closer.

"Let's just say we're lucky to have each other. Deal?" He grinned, and Virgil nodded.

"Deal," he mumbled, and the two brought their lips together at last.

This was fun to write!! Hope I did it okay.

Sorry if you try to talk to me and I don't respond. Kinda too anxious to talk to anyone, have been all night really. Haven't been doing very good lately, I feel kinda depressed again and it's like nothing's really helping. Anyone else have it where like, you're sad so to avoid it you try and think optimistically, and tell yourself things will work out or you'll get through it but you just can't believe it and it doesn't cheer you up at all? Cause like... everything feels kinda pointless right now.

Never mind, I'm not going in to that any more on here aha. If I need to vent I should just put it somewhere private. Also someone asked me the other day why I uploaded at like, 4 and because I can okay deal

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed this. *magic flower opens its petals to reveal a ring pop*

Take care of yourselves. Bye-Bob
