A/n: Imagine forgetting you have a one-shot book, I-

Ship: Dukexiety

I feel like I should stop making Roman the mean guy that hates Remus.

...buT ANGST-

"Remus!" Virgil yelled with tears in his eyes, running upstairs to his boyfriend, who had busted through the front door and started yelling at Virgil, before running up the stairs, crying about how  Virgil deserved better.

"What do you want from me?" He glared.

"I want you to tell me what's wrong! Calm down and take a breath! It's okay! Now tell me ehat's wrong, We'll fix it together, me and you just like we've always done!"

"No! why do you always have to try and fix things, Virgil?! I know you hate me, I know the world hates me, I know i'm not good enough for you! I know i'm a mess!"

"If you're a mess than you're the hottest mess i've ever encountered" Virgil muttered.

Remus didn't hear him, so continued with his hourly self depreciation rant, "I know i'm not as good or perfect as my brother! The things people do and say just make me realize! Realize that you deserve better! Better like him!"

"Remus" Virgil whispered.

"What?" Remus hissed.

"I thought hissing was my thing-"

"Cut to the chase!" Remus growled, making Virgil back up ever so slightly.

Remus furrowed his eyebrows, "That's it! This is what I mean! You're afraid of me half the time! You hate me! Just-just like Roman does!" 

"R-Remus, no i'm not afraid, and I certainly don not hate you!" Virgil said, trying to convince Remus desperately, "it's true, you can be..aggressive at times, but you're a really funny guy! You're a weird, stinky goblin trash monster according to Everyone else, but even so, you're my stinky goblin trash monster! You don't need to let what anybody else says get to you! Because at the end of the day, no matter what anybody does or says..i'll still be here, loving you!"

"Besides..who could hate a sexy face like yours?" Virgil asked with a soft smile, putting his hand on his boyfriend's cheek.

"Virgil, stop" Remus huffed, harshly brushing his boyfriend's hand off of him, "you just...you just don't understand! Everybody says so much stuff about our relationship that I just can't stand! They say so much about me! ..And so much about you..and it hurts to hear the awful things they say, and what hurts worse..is that it's true."
Remus ended, on the verge of tears.

"Remus..you don't have to listen to what they say! They're wrong! I love you, you shouldn't believe what anybody else tells you when i'm right here, in front of you, telling you the truth, and the truth is, that I love you. You are my world, Remus. Why should you believe anybody else?" Virgil asked, his voice breaking more than a few times.

"It's just-it's just that-"

"Shhh, baby...you don't have to explain,  I understand that what people say can have a major effect on you" Virgil told him, putting his arms around the taller man's shoulders and looking into his eyes.

"Forget Roman, forget the bullies, forget life! It can be you, and it can be me, just let the rest of the world fall away. It's okay" Virgil smiled, and kissed Remus.

But Remus didn't kiss back.

He shoved Virgil off of him.

"Get off of me" Remus growled.

"What? Remus why-"

"Because I said so!" He yelled.

"Remus! Please! You don't have to run away Remus! I can help you, talk you through this, give you all the hugs and kisses you need! Just please, listen.." Virgil told him.

Remus glared at Virgil and said, "No! I can't be here anymore! Not around you!" He growled as he ran out of the room.

But Virgil could see through him.

He could see it in his boyfriend's eyes.

Remus didn't want to leave.

He didn't want to go.

His eyes begged for Virgil to stop him, to talk him out of hiding from the problem.

And Virgil tried.

He ran after Remus, and yelled, "Remus! Baby, please! Don't run away from me!"

Remus stopped at the front door and glared at the ground. Virgil hoped he would come back and let Virgil console him, but Remus just whispered,
"I'm not your baby! ...Not anymore.." as he ran out of the house putting his coat on, leaving a crying Virgil at the bottom if his staircase who desperately texted and called Remus over and over again.

But it was too late, Remus was gone.

And Virgil was broken.
