Twenty One
Virgil POV
When I woke up, I felt like I was being blinded. This is definitely not my room. I open my eyes to bright white walls and Disney posters everywhere. The room was just too bright, despite the fact that it was still raining outside.
I turned over to see a sleeping Roman. Strangely enough, I didn't feel too much anxiety over being in the same bed as Roman.
I'm more happy. I know for sure Roman likes me. And I guess I do have feelings for the prince.
Are you trying to be happy?
This isn't going to work out
Do you really think he likes you?
Loves you even?
No one would be stupid enough to fall for someone like you
I shut my eyes tight, trying to block out Deceits voice. Why can't he ever just leave me alone. But than I had an idea.
I started shaking Roman awake. He opened his eyes slowly, still half asleep.
"What's wrong Virgil?" He asked slowly.
"Do you love me?" I asked. His eyes snapped open instantly and he turned bright red. But his demeanor quickly changed. He smirked and kissed me passionately on the lips.
"Yes I love you my emo nightmare." He said. "Now lay down so I can cuddle you again." I laid down smiling. Deceits wrong, Roman loves me.
"Oh and by the way, Patton and Logan know that we're...kinda...in love...so to say." Said Roman awkwardly. Instantly I felt huge amounts of anxiety.
"What?" I asked sharply, sitting up.
"They came to check on us, and found us in here together. I talked to them about it and they're okay with it." Roman explained gently, putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Are you sure?" I asked, my anxiety getting the best of me.
"Positive." He whispered, pulling me into another passionate kiss. "And I have reason to believe that they're dating."
"Oh really?"
"They were holding hands the entire time I was talking to them, they are constantly cuddling with each other, and have you noticed that Logan's become super protective of Patton and shows like genuine, I guess, love towards Patton." Said Roman excitedly.
"I guess it kinda makes sense." I agreed. We went back to silence for a bit after I laid back down.
"Are you hungry?" Roman asked after a while.
"No..." I told him, but my stomach growled.
"When was the last time you ate?" Asked Roman sternly, pushing himself into a sitting position. I stayed silent for a while, not meeting his eyes.
"Virgil." Said Roman. "Seriously, how long has it been. Don't lie to me."
"Well..." I said slowly. "The day I was hiding in my room I didn't eat. And I didn't eat yesterday when I was with you guys. So I guess I haven't eaten since before I...attempted...yeah..." I trailed off.
"That is not good." Said Roman slightly angry.
"I don't care." I whispered.
"Well I care. I care a lot about you." Roman told me, getting out of the bed. "Even if you won't take care of yourself, I'm going to take care of you."
"Roman you don't have to." I told him.
"I am and you can't stop me." He said while walking over to my side of the bed. "Come on, we're getting some breakfast."
"I don't wanna." I said defensively. Roman frowned.
"Your eating. Seriously. It's bad enough that your hurting yourself again. And your still recovering from...your incident." Said Roman while pulling me out of the bed. "We can't have you wasting away. If it is true that you haven't eaten since before the incident, than you...haven't eaten in four days."
"Yeah so?"
"Virgil, I care about you. I'm not going to let you keep destroying yourself." Roman said softly.
"I can't." I whispered. "I- that's too much after everything. I know it's been four days, but everything still hurts." I absentmindedly pulled my hand away from Roman and brushed my fingers against the rope bruises around my neck.
"Than you need to eat, so that you get better." Roman said while pulling my hand away from the bruises.
I pulled away from him. I don't deserve someone like him. I don't deserve to be happy. I don't deserve any of this.
Roman pulled me back and into a tight hug. I hugged him back, holding onto him like he was a lifeline.
"I want you to get better." Whispered Roman, lots of emotions in his voice. "I can't loose you." His voice cracked.
It felt like my heart broke when I heard Princey say that. When his voice cracked in sadness.
"I'm not leaving you." I told him, hugging him tightly. "I'm not leaving."
"Please don't try to kill yourself again." He whispered.
"I promise." I told him, kissing him lightly.
"I can't loose you." He whispered again.
"And I don't want to be alone again." I told him. "We're here for each other now." He nodded. He kissed me. And I kissed back.
There was a neediness in his kiss that made me want to get better, for him. I don't want him to hurt because I'm hurting.
We kept kissing for a good minute. Eventually the kissing becoming sloppy and needy.Roman wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me even closer to him.
After a minute or so, I reluctantly pulled away, removing Roman's arms from around myself. Roman let out a groan of disappointment.
"What are you doing." He whined. "Come back I wanna kiss you some more."
"You said it yourself I need food." I said smirking at him. Roman frowned. "So come on, let's go get breakfast."
"Are you sure that you can do this, I can just bring you breakfast in bed." Roman suggested, trying to pull me back into a kiss.
"As nice as that sounds, I think I should be asking you if your okay." I said. "You had bit of a moment there." Roman glared playfully at me. I just smiled at him, before reaching my hand out to him.
Roman grabbed it, but pulled me back to him to kiss him again.
"Oh my god, you are so desperate." I said laughing while trying to pull myself out of his grasp.
"Can't help it, your too cute." Said Roman, leaving me a blushing flustered mess. Now it was his turn to smirk.
He grabbed my hand and turned to leave. We left his room and walked to the kitchen.
When we got there, it was empty. Nobody else was awake.
"Well neither of us can cook sooooo.....cereal it is than." Said Roman with a laugh.
"Sure whatever Princey." I said while holding back a laugh.
I walked into the kitchen and started making myself some coffee. Roman followed, but instead started pouring out bowls of cereal.
"Coffee?" I asked.
"No, I only enjoy Starbucks coffee." Roman answered.
"Why?"
"Because of all the fun flavors and because they make the coffee taste super good with lots of sugar." He answered.
I sighed and finished brewing the coffee. Roman walked over to the table with two bowls of cereal. I poured myself a cup of coffee and joined him at the table.
I sipped on the coffee slowly. It felt both good and extremely nauseating to be drinking after so long. I stared at the bowl of cereal, not making any move to start eating. Roman had already scarfed down most of his cereal.
"Please just try to eat something." He said.
"I can't."
"Yes you can. Just one bite."
I stared at him. I shook my head slowly.
"Please." He begged, pushing the bowl towards me.
Tentatively, I picked up the spoon. Roman smiled.
"Just one bite please."
I slowly took a bite of cereal. And another. Before I knew it, I was finishing the bowl. I was pretty damn hungry.
"I'm going to talk to Remy today, about leaving you alone at night." Said Roman, once I finished eating.
"Why?" I asked. "Do you really want to start drama with him. We all know he can be pretty dramatic."
"I can deal with dramatic Remy if it means your sleeping peacefully." Said Roman determinedly.
I was about to respond when a voice interrupted me.
"Good morning!" Called Patton from the bottom of the stair case. Logan was right behind him. Roman turned towards me.
"I bet you ten bucks that they're going to come out right now about their relationship." He whispered to me. I smirked.
"Your on."
Logan sat down at the table across from me. Patton walked into the kitchen. Patton came back with a cup of coffee for Logan and bowls of cereal for him and Logan.
"So..." Said Patton with a mischievous grin. "How are you two doing?"
"Simply fabulous." Said Roman dramatically.
"So about last night..." Patton said slowly. "You two slept in the same bed." I felt a blush rise to my cheeks
Roman turned to me and placed a big kiss on my forehead, causing me to turn bright red.
"Well I can't say anything accept that I love my little emo nightmare." Roman said while smirking at me.
"Awww..." Said Patton with a huge smile. "Virgil?"
"I guess...yea...what Princey said." I mumbled, not liking the attention. "I...do love...him."
"He loves me!" Yelled Roman. "And I love him!" He gave me another kiss, wrapping his arms tightly around me.
"Perfect." Said Patton before giving Logan a big kiss. Now it was Logan's turn to turn bright red.
"I knew it!" Roman yelled with a huge smile.
"Me and Logan have been dating for a few good months now." Said Patton, gazing wistfully at Logan. I felt myself smile a bit.
"It's true that Patton and I have strong affections for each other." Agreed Logan, smiling at Patton.
This was nice. All of us just sitting around in our pajamas, eating breakfast. I realized again that I was feeling warmth again, no numbness or coldness.
"You owe me ten bucks now." Said Roman, holding his hand out to be.
"No, the bet was that they would admit it first thing, and they didn't do that." I argued.
"What no!" Said Roman. "I meant that during breakfast they'd admit it."
"Sure whatever you wanna tell yourself Princey." I told him with a smirk.
"I think it's a lazy day today." Said Patton, trying to change the subject. "But first I'm going to check on Thomas, the weather here has been pretty bad lately."
Thomas. I haven't talked to him in three days. He's probably upset because of me. His emotions control what the weather in the mindscape is like. Raining and stormy is sad or angry. Fearfulness is windy and cloudy. Happy is sunny. And so on. And for the past week its just been torrential downpour.
So somethings obviously up with Thomas. It's not good for him to be so sad.
Patton stood up and cleared his spot at the table. Roman stood up to.
"I need to pay Remy a visit." He announced, before heading back to his room.
"I'll see you two later!" Said Patton before sinking down into the real world to see Thomas. That's when I started to get a horrible headache. One of those headaches that feel like someone's stabbing you in the head.
"I'm going to my room." I mumbled, standing up. Logan nodded, still sitting at the table.
I headed back up to my room. Once I reached it, I pushed open the door. I sighed before stepping into my room and shutting the door.
I collapsed onto my bed, closing my eyes. My head was pounding in pain and I felt kinda dizzy.
Than as soon as it started, it went away. I sat up in confusion but felt a dull pain on my elbow from moving it.
I turned and looked at my elbow. There was a huge black and blue bruise on it.
What the fuck is this? How did that get there? I poked it, which sent sharp pain up my arm. I hissed before pulling off my pajamas and putting my regular outfit on.
Than another wave of pain in my head caused me to fall back onto my bed. For a good second I couldn't see anything, just stars dancing in my vision. I shut my eyes and put a hand to my throbbing forehead. My forehead was burning hot.
But when I opened my eyes, the pain was gone. Maybe I'm getting sick or something. I pulled my hand down from my forehead but felt pain in my hand.
I looked at it and watched as another large bruise formed on the back of my hand.
What the hell is happening to me?
