It happened after breakfast, all of them except Virgil sat at the kitchen table eating the breakfast that Patton made. Virgil, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch, binge-watching Netflix with a soda in hand. 

   Roman sat on the couch next to him, "Watcha watching?" he asked, staring at the screen. 

    "Parks and Recreations, for the third time," Virgil responded casually, mumbling the last bit under his breath. 

"The third time?" Prince exclaimed, staring at him with wide-eyes.

 "Hey, how many times have you watched the Disney movies on the shelves over there?" Anx remarked, hoping he made his point. 

"Fair enough, but is this really better than having a nice breakfast with us?" He asked, waving his hands towards Logan and Patton, who were talking about who knows what.

"Yes, it is."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to embarrass myself."
"How would you do that?"
Anx shrugged, "Because I like you."
Roman went wide-eyed, "Like, as a friend or, like love?"
Anx laughed bitterly, "I would have shut it down if it was love. I looked it up and it takes about 4 months for it to be," he cringed, "love." 
"So, that's it?"
"Yep, I have a crush on you so, what ya gonna do?"
"I, uh, Ummm, well," Roman said, obviously getting flustered.
Anx just laughed at his choice of "words," why did he think this was a good idea?  He didn't know, so he did his best to recover.

  "Great plan," he said, sarcasm oozing out of his words, and with that, he walked off to his room. "Anxiety wait!" Roman called after him, but Anx kept walking. Roman felt a wave of sadness wash over him, he felt as if he missed one of the best opportunities given to him.

Then it dawned on him, he did.
    He sank back down on the couch with a groan. Curse you Anxiety for making me all flustered, he thought to himself. So what was his plan? He didn't want to have a giant plan, because it would overwhelm Virgil, and he didn't want to have one too small because then it would seem like he didn't care, did he? Did he love Anxiety? It takes four months for it to be love, so how long did he actually start liking him? 

   Well obviously today right? He thought back to videos, "The dark side of Disney" for example, did he like him back then? There was only one answer to that. Yes, he did. And he liked him before that too. In fact, it seems although he liked him since 2016, which was half a year ago. He was shocked, why him? "Well, why not him? He would flirt with you a lot actually." Roman thought.  A smile played at his lips, but did he really have it all figured out? Well, what did he have to lose? Anx said he liked him, it wasn't a joke was it? "Not that it matters, you'd tell him anyway," He thought. It was settled, he'd wait for the right moment then say his feelings.

Roman couldn't do it, he couldn't keep his eyes off Anxiety at all. Durning lunch he sat next to Roman and was talking to Logan about the deep seas and space.

  "But he's sitting next to you, he should be talking to you!" Roman got a weird feeling after thinking this, he was mad and sad, he felt like he needed to protect Anxiety from Logan, and that's exactly what he did. 

"Anx, I need to talk to you," Roman mumbled, grabbing Anx's hand and dragging him to his room.

 "What do you need Roman?" Anx asked a bit annoyed, he really wanted to finish that conversation and was making it obvious. This only made Roman more upset. 

"I was wondering if you wanted to watch a couple Disney movies after dinner tonight," he asked, surprised at how calm he was under pressure. 

"Sure, are you gonna ask the others though?" Virgil asked, pointing towards the kitchen.

"It's all about the others," Roman murmured annoyed.
"What was that?"
"Hmm? Oh, nothing. No I don't think I will," Roman said, hoping that was enough because he was lost for an excuse why.
"Umm, sure. Why not?" Anx said, walking out of the room.

    Roman let out a small unnoticeable sigh of relief while Anxiety was about to close the door. Anxiety froze, standing there for a few seconds, back facing Roman, before walking off. Roman's face was red as his sash. What was he thinking? He turned to look at his room, how messy can it be? The bed was unmade, clothes were scattered everywhere and oh Merlin, a pair of boxers were slung over his dresser like decoration. He decided he'd take the rest of the time to clean his room. "What about Logan and Anxiety hanging out?" A voice whispered in his head. "He'll be fine, Anx already said he liked you, not Logan. Besides, you trust Logan, right? I mean, you have to at least think of him as a friend "said another. That voice was right, satisfied with the answer he continued to clean. 

A knock on the door, "Dinner's ready kiddo," Patton said to the door. 

  "Ok, I'll be out in a minute," Roman said, straightening the wrinkles in the bed. "Mental note: NEVER let it get that messy again," he thought on his way out the door. He walked out, happy to see Anx again, but his heart shattered at what he saw. Logan and Anxiety were talking with each other, laughing with each other, and worse of all, sitting next to each other. Roman wanted to leave, he couldn't bear to see this any longer, but he knew he couldn't. He had to sit and eat with them so they don't get suspicious.

    So he did, he ate his pasta and every once in a while shot glares at Logan, who was too worked up in his conversation with Anx to notice. When everyone started leaving, Roman felt a jolt of excitement, it was time! He rushed up to his room and plopped down on his bed to wait. 

   After 20 minutes, Roman grew impatient. He walked down the hall and and knocked on his door.  

Anxiety open his door slightly, "Oh, you were serious" was all he said before walking into Roman's room. 

Roman just smiled and followed. 

"So what are we watching?" Anx asked, sitting down on the bed. He looked around at the recently cleaned room.

 "Anything really, you pick," Roman said with a shrug, hoping Virgil didn't notice how hard he worked on cleaning his room.

"The Lion King?" Anx suggested, raising the CD in the air. 

"Sure" Roman said, sitting on the bed.

 Anx put the movie in then walked and sat on the bed with him. 40 minutes in Roman scooted closer, hoping it wasn't noticed by Virgil. 

"Snow White?"
"Sure," Roman said with a yawn. He had no idea why he was so tired at 7:30 but he was. 

After they finish the movie, Virgil made to leave but Roman shook his head. "One more movie, please?" Roman asked, pulling on Virgil's arm.

"Ok, last one. Then I'm going to my room so you can sleep," Anx said with a yawn.

   Roman only chuckled in response "like that was going to happen". 

Anx was confused with his reply but wasn't ready to go to his room yet. He watched the movie anyway, feeling his body press against Roman. 

Roman didn't want Anx to leave, and he wasn't going to let him either. So, he decided to do the only reasonable thing left, cuddle him. Roman wrapped an arm around Anx and pulled him down next to him. (Roman basically has both arms wrapped around Anx, Anx head is up against Roman's chest, and Roman's chin is resting on top of Anx's head). 

"Uhh, Roman? What's this about? Will you please explain? " Anx asked, words slightly muffled by the intensity of how close Anx's nose was to Roman's chest. 

"I do believe this is the first time I've heard you use manners," Roman said, completely changing the subject.

 "Well, yeah, ok, but can you let me go?" Anx asked, slightly hoping for a no.

 "Why? Got something against cuddling?" Roman asked, pulling them closer together, hoping he wasn't pushing limits.

"Well no bu-" he was cut off by his own shock when Roman suddenly burrowed his face into Anx's neck. Chills went down his back as Roman's warm breath tickled his neck.

"Anx, I have something to say but I can't look you in the face while saying it because I won't be able to say it if I do." 

Anx simply responded by trying to get both of them more comfortable which Roman took as a good sign.

"I like you Anxiety, you helped me see that today. In fact, I found out I love you. I've liked you for as long as I can remember and didn't realize it til now that I'm looking back, and I think, or at least really hope that's you feel the same way," Roman said in a big rush. 

Anx stayed quiet for a long time, lost in thought.

"Roman?"
"Y-yes?"
"I love you" 

"Anxiety?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you too."
