Tell me if I missed anything.

Remus' POV:
I rub my eyes awake as I get blinded with the bright rays of sunlight. I feel a shadow raging over me with a dark fortresses to which I glare at with an annoyed look.

"You awake yet?"

"Yes."

"Good. Get up, you smell like a wet dog."

"Fuck you Roman."

I glare at him as he walks out while slamming my door after flipping me off. Fuck Roman. Fuck brothers. Fuck school. Fuck. Life.

Dragging myself out of the black covers of warmth, I walk into the little bathroom connected to my bedroom and strip down and hop in the steamy shower.

Hot showers are the best. The burning sensation is always so relaxing to me and he heat and steam is just a calming mechanism I guess. I've always hated cold showers. The icy chills and tense muscles; I can't even try to make my body get used to it.

Once I'm clean and don't smell, I get out and quickly dry myself off and throw on some skinny jeans, black muscle t-shirt and a green flannel shirt. I leave my hair wet and scruffy from a quick towel dry. I ran down the stairs, grab my black, plain bag, put on my grey converse shoes and left: not caring about food.

The fact that Roman wasn't in the house after our morning encounter, surely ment I'm late. I continued to run as I pulled my phone out to check the time. Yep. School started 2 minutes ago-

"Ow!"

I'm on the ground. I look up to where I heard the voice to see an emo looking kid infront of me. Quickly standing up, I extend my hand to him.

"I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention-"

"I-It's fine." He slid his soft hand into mines to allow me to lift him back to his feet. Once he was up, he kept his head low. "I w-wasn't either..."

He finally looked up and our eyes locked.

Holy mother of Satan. Angels are real...

"You on your way to school?"

"Y-yeah..."

"You late?"

"Y-you too?"

"YeP."

We both chuckled slightly before we both decided to just walk together. Or... I mean, we started running together; me being that little bit faster than him. We reached the front office out of breath as we quickly signed in. He giggled and my heart immediatly felt lighter.

"That was fun, but I really hope that doesn't happen again." He giggled more as I pushed open the door to allow us into the actual school building.

"Oh please~ I'm late half the time."

He giggled again before stopping infront of one of the art room - which I'm guessing is his home-room.

"This is my stop..."

"Sit with me at Lunch? And some friends?"

Tilting his head slightly up, he pretended to think before looking back at me. "Maybe."

"What's your name?"

"It's Virgil."

"I'm Remus."

Smirking, he pushed open the door and walked in... after stating "I know."

How in the world does he know me?! Like?! How?! Is it stalkering?! Is it- ... Roman. He probably just knows me as Roman's brother. FUCK'S SAKE!!!!!

Sighing dramatically and my eyes wide as saucepans, I ran my fingers through my slightly damp hair before walking off to my form room. Of course it's Roman. I'm always know as Roman's delinquent twin brother. Sighing again, I push through the science-room door to my form class and just decided to ignore everything.

All I could think about was him. His brown eyes. His childish giggle. His gorgeous smile. His pale and fare skin. Pitch black hair that swept over one eye in a cutesy manner. His small body frame and baggy hoodie with ripped skinny jeans. Even the chipped, black, nail polish and black eyeshadow and eyeliner. He was beautiful. He is beautiful.

No.

He is hot! And gorgeous! And adorable! And no way is he going to leave my mind...

--------------_________------------------------------

Managed to make it till lunch! I was currently waiting by the hall entrance to try and spot Virgil, but so far there was probably 10%  chance I would be able to see him. So it obviously made me jump a bit when I heard his angelic voice behind me.

"Hi Remus."

I spun around with a smile and I felt my body heat up at just seeing him. "Hey emo."

He giggled before stepping closer to get out of the way of other passers. "So... who are these friends of yours?"

"Let's see... there's Remy the drag queen and his boyfriend Emile the therapist, there's Logan the nerd and sometimes there's Patton the dad."

Virgil giggled again before we started walking to the table my little group sit at.

"Neato. I thought you were friends with-"

"Damian the snake? He doesn't sit with us. He doesn't want to prove to everyone he's friends with Logan." I lent closer to his ear "When in reality... they're 'enemies with benifits' or to be blatant, their fucking but to stubborn about keeping their reputation." I lent away as Virgil's eyes went wide, tuning to face me. "Don't tell anyone through. It's a secret." I say sarcastically. He giggles again and my heart speeds up again.

We reached the table and the whole group was already there. Minus Damian and plus Patton. Virgil sat next to me as the everyone turned to us.

"A newbie to the table? Hi there, I'm Remy~"

"H-hi. I'm Virgil."

"Do you how do, Virgil? My names Emile; Remy's boyfriend. You're okay with that, right?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Good." Emile smiled with a giggle before Logan reached his hand out towards Virgil to which he gladly shook.

"I'm Logan. Plessure is all mine, Virgil."

They retracted their hands, both smiling as Virgil gave a simple 'hey'.

Then Patton. This could go the calm way or the-"

"Hi kiddo! What you doing over here with us today? Aren't you usually with Roman? Did you two get in a fight again? I swear if he hurts my baby, I will physically fight him! It's good to see you over here on this glorious day with us though! It's wonderful! How are you?!"

Was that one breath...?

"Geez Dad... I'm good, you?"

"I'm great! They were handing out biscuits in my French lesson so I'm a little hyper!"

They already know eachother?!-... It's Patton. Should have guessed.

Virgil giggled before placing his hands ontop of the table infront of him and started to fiddle with the sleeves of his hoodie. Conversation quickly started up around the table, but the fact Patton said that Virgil usually hangs around with Roman, didn't go unnoticed by me. Also the point when Patton stated that my brother and my little emo argue a lot, worries me.

He was relaxed and so at ease with the people here, I couldn't help but smile at him. Until my ears were filled with the most annoying voice know to man-kind.

"Virgil?"

Roman's voice.

Virgil's eyes grew wide as his body stiffened. Taking a shaky breath, he turned in his seat and faced my brother with a smile.
"Yes, your royal-ass?"

I wanted to laugh, but I faintly heard Patton behind me sigh as he whispered-
"Yep... they're fighting... again..."

"We need to talk. Now."

"Nope. I don't want to talk to you." Virgil went to turn back to us but Roman stepped forwards and caught his gaze.

"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer, edgelord."

Virgil swung his legs over the seat to fully face Roman and lent fowards.

"No."

A flame almost set light in Roman's eyes before gripping Virgil's wrist and hauling him up. "Ow!" Virgil gasped as he was dragged through the crowd, trying to pry his wrist free. "Roman!" Then he disappeared.

I stood up, but was immediately pushed back into my seat by Remy. I tried and failed to get back up again, but wow can Remy be strong when he wants to be.
"Remy! Let me go."

"Babe, I understand why you're angry, but they probably just need to talk it out. I want to punch your brother too. I would even kick him in the balls with my heals-" I looked down to see in fact that Remy was wearing heels today. Bright red to match his lipstick. How he gets away with it while the girls don't? I have no idea. "-but we don't know Virgil that well, or how his relationship with Roman is." Remy turned to Patton with a concerned look. "Babe? You know Virgil more. Is that normal?"

Gulping, Patton looked at everyone before showing his hands in fist and opened a finger on each point. "The arguing? Yes. The name calling? Yes. Roman usually dragging Virgil off to a more private place to talk? Yes. Virgil refusing to go? Ehh... sometimes. Virgil saying Roman was hurting him? No." Patton brought his hands down and back under the table. "Virgil's tough. He's a tough cookie. He doesn't like showing pain or weakness, but he usually doesn't like showing happy emotions either unless it's genuine and he trust the people around him. He refuses to show weakness to people above him and he puts up quite a fight... verbally... not physically. He's a protector, doesn't like to be the one protected. They've been in worse fights before, I never know why, but that's the first time Virgil told Roman to stop..."

My brother to want to die? I think so!

I stand up again to be immediately pushed back down again. I turn to Logan with a harsh but pleading glare. "Logan? Help me!"

"I don't think Roman and Virgil's relationship is healthy, but from what Patton stated? It either needs to sort itself out on it's own, or Patton should be the one to go."

Fuck you, Logan.

"Emile?!"

"Sorry Remus. I'm not a fully qualified therapist yet and I do romantic relationships. Not whatever this is. Logan's right... Patton even said it isn't a big fight...?"

Am I the only person to see what's happening?!

"Remy please?! Over there is my brother possibly abusing someone I find to be the cutest and most gorgeous person, I have ever layed eyes on."

"Remus, you might make it wor-"

"What if it was Emile over there and not Virgil?"

Remy froze before letting go of my shoulders and moving out the way. "Sorry guys, he has a point."

Before anything else was, I rushed up and weived my way through the crowd of people. I couldn't find them anywhere in this damn hall! I walk into the corridoors and I hear shouting from one of the rooms. I peak in through the window to see Roman and Virgil having a heated discussion, but I couldn't hear what wad being said. I pressed my ear to the door and hoped no one would look at me strangely.

"Virgil! Listen to me! I'm trying to protect you!"

"I don't need protecting! The only person I need protecting from, is you! You're making my life hell, and I can't take it anymore! Stop controlling me!"

"I'm not controlling you-"

"Oh please. 'Not allowed near him, Virgil.' 'Stay next to me, Virgil.' Oh and we can't forget the main one! 'You're mine, Virgil!' I don't belong to you or anyone!"

There was some shuffling so I quickly peaked through the window again. Roman was now infront of Virgil and gripping his wrist tight.

"Ow... Roman, please..."

"Not. Near. My brother. Got it?"

"What do you have against him?! OW!! Roman!"

I had enough.

I open the door and step inside, death was clearly in my eyes. It would be so much fun to kill my brother. He's only in the way all the time.

"Roman, let him go."

Roman looked at me shocked before swatting Virgil's hand away and walking a few desk backs. "Remus, you need to leave."

"No. Virgil's my friend~, you're my brother~. I want to be let in on the gossip."
I smiled before walking in and sitting on another desk between them, us three now creating a triangle.
"So? Why we arguing?"

"Remus. Stay out of it."
"Not something you want to be apart of."

I sighed before give a single clap and looking between them. "Let me put it like this..." I stood up -pushing off the desk- and pointed a death finger towards my brother. "Stop being such a dick and stop abusing Virgil or I swear to god Roman, I will rip your head off with my bare hands and let the bears use it as a pinyatta while I shove your cold, dead, body on a traintrack in a tunnel as the wheels tear it to shredds! And I will make it so no one -no one- will remember you..." Taking a deep breath, I sat back down (not caring about my brothers reaction) and turned to Virgil.

He was sat so innocently on the desk. His black hair falling over the one eye, the other eye staring intensly at me; a small smile displayed on his pink lips. His legs were swinging under the desk and his hands were trapped under his thighs - obviously forcing them there to put a stop from Roman grabbing his again. He is so adorable...

"Would you like to explain what's going on?" I tried to make my voice as soft as possible to him, but I knew the sentance that slipped out my lips sounded aggravated. Ohh big word! Logan taught me that word.

He gave an awkward smile, before turning to look anywhere but in Roman's general direction. "... I don't even know..." He sighed before finally making eye contact, Roman's face was emotionless while Virgil had his eyes slightly squinted with disgust and pain in his beautiful, chocolate, caramel... swirl... irises... his eyes.......... OFF TRACK!!

"-then he started arguing with me about anything and everything..."

I missed the first part. Was it important? hopefully not.

I went to speak, but Roman stood up and threw his arms around dramatically as he spoke. "I'm just trying to protect you!"

"I don't need protecting. I've been completely fine without you."

"Really? Look, I just want to protect my boyf-"

"Boyfriend? Was that what you were gonna say? Because, hold on ass-hat. I'm not some Queen to your throne and I never will be. I don't want to be. Do you know how boring that sounds? You pulling me along like I'm your puppy as I obey your every command and sit by your side~? Hell-to-the-Nahh!"

DAMN!!! Not only is he supportive of LGBT+, he's gay too?!?!?! SCORE!!

Also?

Am I forgotten in this part, or just that things got a little to heated? And not in the good way...

"Roman, I'm not an object. And I definatly don't need protecting. I can do that on my own."

"You know what?! I don't care anymore. Do what you want, just don't screw around with my brother!"

Roman pointed at me and both heads turned. Roman looked pissed, while Virgil's features softened. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved, but I didn't want Roman hurt my baby boy. Virgil doesn't want protecting, but that's what I'm trying to him, from Roman.

"Like I would. I'm not some heart breaker, Roman, you are-"

"What? No I'm not-"

"Don't pull that card on me, Princey." Stern Virgil voice is hot~ "I've noticed that you and Patton are avoiding eachother and I know damn well that you two kissed! I know because he came to me -so excited- that you two kissed and now you two can't even look at eachother! So who the hell is the heart breaker Roman?! Cause it sure ain't me."

Wow. Virgil really can protect himself... Roman's speechless.

I scanned my eyes over Roman and I can already tell he doesn't know how to respond. Virgil hit a nerve.

"... P-Patton isn't a part of this-"

"You just called me 'your boyfriend' while you're kissing Patton. You're a real dick, Roman Prince. You don't deserve the title you have in this school, and I want nothing apart of it..."

W.   O.   W.  

I watched as the atmosphere shifted dramatically. The angry filled air turned to sorrow, regret and... tears? A single tear slipped down Virgil's cheek to which he slipped one hand out from under his thigh and wiped it away -making sure to dogde the eyeshadow and eyelinder. He persed his lips into a thin line before pushing off the table.

"I'm going."

"Virgil-" "Emo?"

"No. I'm leaving and neither of you can stop me." Stern voice again. But it's nicer when he isn't crying. He looked up at me and a ghost of a smile pulled the corners of his lips up slightly. "Thanks for inviting me to your table." His smile fell before he continued his way to the door. He swun it open, but both me and Roman only stood there flabbergasted. Another big word Logan taught me. He turned towards Roman before his mind probably clicked and his mouth formed an 'o'. He reached into his back jean pocket. "Oh, almost forgot." He smiled pridefully as he pulled out a bird and flipped Roman off. "I think this belongs to you~" Then he was gone and the door fell shut.

I smirked at Roman before fully turning my body to him.

"Dude... you really fuck up."

"Shut it."

"I now know some of your dirty little secrets~"

"Remus."

"Would be a shame if the parents found out."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh I would. And you know why?"

He finally looked me in the eyes and the look he gave me, made something snap inside me. I pushed forwards and grabbed the front of his clothes and pulled him closer to me. I don't know what was going through my as I did it, but the way I just saw Virgil... made me mad.

"You are a real prick and a real dead man. You just ruined what could have been an amazing friendship with an amazing guy and you blew it with your low life personality. You closed minded douche! Virgil deserves everything in the world, but he doesn't deserve you! And to be honest, he doesn't deserve me either! He deserves the best of the best and we're both dirt compared to that! But you sir... lord help you cause you derserve to be dead in a ditch either murdered or gotten a broken neck from tripping and falling because your that dumb!" I spoke through gritted teeth before finally letting go and pushing him away. "Virgil may not want to be protected, but you sure as hell deserve this."

Then I punched him. My own brother. Twin brother. I punched him square in the eye, making sure that, that one punch would give him a black eye. Yep. He deserved it.

And I walked out.

Rushing back to our/my table, I couldn't see Virgil, but I saw the many worried eyes.

"Have you seen Virgil?"

They all shook their heads while Remy, Logan and Patton said 'no'. I also noticed Damian was now here for once. He looked around at us all before he lent forward onto the table and looked up at me.

"You mean the emo kid, Roman drags around everywhere?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Cause he got in an argument with Roman and left." I bit my lip before turning to Patton. "Also... I may have given Roman a black eye."

Patton's eyes grew wide before he tripped trying to get up. Once he was finally free of the chair, he rushed off through the crowds before he was gone.

I lent onto the table and looked at them all. "Basically shit went down and..." Then I saw Virgil in the corner of my eye. "...and... I got to go!" I rushed off aswell towards him. He was watching me as I was watching him. Our eyes were locked. Brown against brown. Two different shades. I continued to push through to people till I was infront of him.

"Remus, I'm sorry."

"Why you sorry? I got involved. Once you left, I even gave him a black eye."

His eyes grew and it made me chuckle a bit. "You punch him?"

"He deserved it. And I've been wanting a reason to punch him for a while."

Virgil giggled as he shoved his hands deep into his pockets. "Guessing you two don't get along either?"

"Oh, I hate him~ yet apparently I'm the bad influence..."

Virgil smiled before stepping closer to me, yet, to me, he was still to far away.
"Just... I don't need protecting."

"I know."

"You... you know?"

"Hell yeah! You defended yourself quite well in there. You even hit a nerve~"

He held a proud smirk.

"It was hot, too."

A faint blush now coating his cheeks. He really is adorable...

"You think it was hot?"

"I mean, yeah. Definitely."

"Oh? We're flirting now? Even after telling your brother, I wouldn't."

"Who cares about him. What matters is our opinion."

He bit his lip and looked to the side... almost contemplating. Then he looked back with a smile...

And my world was brighter.
