Virgil's POV

I can't take it anymore. Being insulted by the one I love the most... Roman have no fucking idea how much his nicknames hurts sometimes... Only one that seemed kinda nice was 'my Chemically imbalanced romance'... Only because of the 'my Romance' part...

I feel so trapped, so caged and so neglected... Yes. Patton is trying to help but I distanced myself to the point of him feeling sad... I don't want them to be sad... He brings me food so i won't starve. I haven't left my room for ages... At least my panic and anxiety attacks makes it feel like it... And also those sudden moments of coughing... Coughing out flower petals...

I'm sitting at my desk, writing poems, drawing some flowers or whatever... I'm lost in my thoughts when I hear a knock on my door over my songs. I just faintly say

"Come in..." Not bothering to turn around. Or to take out my earbuds.

No one came right in front of me so I assumed it isn't Patton. I turned around slightly annoyed. I expected Logan about to give me a long talk about taking care of myself. But... I didn't expect Roman to stand there... He was about to say something but I stopped him by raising my hand. I turned to my phone, stopped my song and took my earbuds out.

This is literally my way of saying: you got my full attention. It's rare and could be taken as a big compliment.

R: "Um hi... Virgil I... You... You didn't leave your room for almost a week and a half... Are you alright? I'm getting worried..."

Virgil was genuinely surprised. Roman really cared?  Nah... Patton definitely got him to do this... Right? Oh god how much I'd wish for him to actually care...

V: "Yeah I'm alright... I guess... It's not like I'm worse than usual or anything..."

R: "I... I bought you this... I drawed it and the first thing that came into my head was you..."

There was a purple rose growing on a golden cage desperately trying to get out of it... It was beautiful and poetic drawing.

V: "Thanks? It's really nice..." I took that drawing and pinned it to the wall. Roman seemed pleased with my action. Roman looked at me with a bit worried look I haven't slept for 2 days thanks to insomnia and I was weak because all of that coughing...

I know I love him... But my body knows he doesn't love me...

R: "Are you... Sure your alright?"

I nodded. But then I got hit by another coughing... I tried to hold it back, I tried to keep my mouth shut... I tried because last day I coughed up more petals than usual... With blood... I started coughing... I fell of my chair to the floor, coughing up petals and blood on the floor. Roman screamed my name as my mind was going black from how tired I was. I fell on my side almost falling asleep.

That was when I felt arms wrap around my limp body. I heard crying... Roman... Roman was crying?  He cried out my name...

R: "VIRGIL! VIRGIL PLEASE! VIRGIL PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"

I'm not leaving... What is he talking about... I feel so... So... Tired...

R: "VIRGIL PLEASE DON'T DIE! I LOVE YOU!  YOU HEAR ME?!  I LOVE YOU!  I LOVE YOU!  I LOVE YOU!"

I felt as if all that pain I felt in my chest, in my lungs just stopped... I felt like I gained some more strengt to open up my eyes.

When I opened them I saw... Roman's crying face... As he was holding me in his embrace... I jerked out of his arms coughing out the rest of flowers that we're in my lungs... It was over... He... He actually loved me.

I looked at him weakly. Kind of climbing back into his embrace. He just looked at me surprised. I put my arms around his neck and weakly said

V: "I love you too... And I'm not going anywhere..." He hugged me back as my door was almost kicked open by Patton

P: "WHAT IS HAPPENING?! WHY WAS ROMAN SCREAMING FOR YOU NOT TO DIE?! WHY IS THERE BLOOD ON YOUR MOUTH AND ON THE- WHAT HAPPENED?!"

R: "I'll explain in the morning okay?  Promise. Everything is fine now."

P: "... Okay but only because I trust you... Good night kiddos..." I didn't even noticed that Logan was behind Patton all that time. Wearing Patton's T-shirt... They are definitely together.

Roman took me the bridal style and carried me to bed. He put me on the bed gently, rubbing my cheek before kissing it. He was just about to turn around to go away but I tugged on his sleeve.

V: "Stay... Please..."

R: "I wished for you to say that... I'll just change into my Pajamas. I know your already wearing yours so..."

V: "Alright..."

I waited before Roman came back, closed the door and crawled under the covers with me. He hugged me close to his chest.

V: "Thank you..."

R: "You don't have to... I love you..."

V: "I love you too..."

I fell asleep in his embrace, finally...
