Remus was practically frozen. He didn't notice the cold and wetness through his jacket.

Virgil backed away and blinked. "Shit! I'm sorry!" he looked around.

Remus snapped back to himself and looked down. There was slushie all over him. He just stood there.

Virgil rushes over to the slushie station and grabs a couple of handfuls of napkins.

Remus flicks the slushie off with his hands, making it fall onto the floor.

Virgil comes back and holds the napkins out to him.

Remus takes them and presses them to his jacket and mops up the liquid. He takes his jacket off and ties it around his waist.

Virgil just stands there and wrings his hands, "Sorry?"

Remus looks at him. "It's cool, I wasn't looking where I was going, it's not your fault."

Virgil wasn't looking him in the eyes.

Remus followed his gaze and raised an eyebrow, he was staring at the bottle of foundation. "Is something wrong?"

Virgil jumps, "uhh, that's not a color that would match you.." he says shyly.

Remus holds the bottle to his wrist, it looked almost the same. He looked back at Virgil, "What?"

Virgil took a powder container and opens it, showing him the mirror on the inside, "your face is different."

Remus hold the bottle to his face, and the bottle looked almost yellow. "Oh." 

Virgil grabs a different bottle and hands it to Remus. Remus takes it and dies the same as the other bottle, much better.

Remus puts the old bottle back, "how did you find me a good one just by looking at my face?"

Virgil rubs his neck, "I'm gonna try to be a makeup artist when I'm older."

Remus nods, "that's cool! You could do my makeup sometime, I know nothing about how to do makeup."

Virgil shrugs, "maybe I will."

Remus went to the checkout and bought his chips, drink, and makeup.

He was about to leave when Virgil stopped him, "you need something?" He asked.

Virgil fidgets, "you go to my school, right?"

Remus nods, "Why?"

Virgil shrugs, "you seem like a cool guy, can I have your number?"

Remus is stunned, but nods.

Virgil pulls out his phone and hands it to Remus. Remus put his number in and texted himself. His phone buzzed in his pocket.

Virgil took his phone back and started making Remus's contact, "what's your name again?"

Of course, there was only one Remus in school, and that was him, and he didn't want his soulmate to think that he wasn't worth his time, Remus panicked, and ended up saying, "Roman."

He had no idea where it came from, he just said it.

Virgil nods, "Cool, I'll see you at school on Monday, right?"

Remus blinks, he completely forgot it was Friday. But he nods.

Virgil smiles a bit and leaves the store.

Remus stood there for a solid two minutes before leaving.

Remus did not sleep that night. His thoughts were racing more than they were when he left.

Why did he say that?
Why did he even acknowledge Virgil's presence aside from an apology?
Why did he even talk to him when he looked like this?

Remus had none of the answers.

But now he had a new name.

And it didn't sound half bad.

Roman.
