Happy Valentine's day mother fuckers! I love you all :))))))

This one's gonna be much shorter, only a thousand words or so, short and sweet and to the point.

~Virgil's PoV~

Groaning, I flopped onto the bed. I had gotten home from work early, and of course Roman wasn't here. Why did I have to work on Valentine's Day? That should be illegal! I wanna sit and cuddle with Roman all day! Not go to work and socialize with the dipshits I call co-workers!

And Roman worked so long! Couldn't he have a normal job that lets out at 4 pm? Noooo he had to get a job that he would stay at until 9! 

I decided that making dinner would make him grateful. Spaghetti, everyone likes spaghetti. 

By the time I was done it was 6. I decided to also make garlic bread, I messed up a few times.

So I set the spaghetti and garlic bread in the oven to keep warm and fresh until Roman came back.

Steven Universe was having a re-run of all the gayest episodes for this day. I tried paying attention, I really did! But my mind kept wandering to Roman, I kept checking my phone.

He should be home by now... I thought a wave of nervousness swept over me. He has to be okay. I know that Valentine's Day is one of the days with the highest suicide rates of the year... but he has me. Right? He wouldn't... No, I'm the depressed one! He wouldn't. He wouldn't.

My phone was in hand and I was dialing Roman's number. I couldn't help myself. 

I chewed my fingers anxiously as I waited for him to pick up. Just when I thought he wouldn't pick up--that he couldn't--his voice answered.

"Hey Virgil!"

I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Why aren't you home yet?" I asked, my worry showing through my words clearly.

"The director wanted me to rehearse some more lines, I told him I had to get home but he wouldn't listen. I'm sorry doll, I'll be home soon, okay?" he assured. I nodded, immediately realizing he couldn't see.

"Yea, okay, drive safely," I said.

"Bye!"

"Bye."

So I waited and waited. I got out my laptop and kept writing my book. It was called 'Connected' and about this girl, Alaana. She lives in Hawaii and has an internet friend named Misha. They chat, and when they eventually meet she notices Misha and her brother glancing at each other. She picks up on their mutual crushes and helps set them up together, even though she also has a crush on Misha. But she eventually meets a girl, Rose, and starts crushing on her. Sounds cliche, but I find it cute. (This is an actual book I want to write, thoughts?)

I heard the doorknob jiggle and I looked up in time to see Roman walk in, a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates in hand. I smiled fondly and set my computer aside, getting up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. When we pulled away he tilted my head up and our lips met. He handed me the roses and chocolates. I grinned.

"I made dinner, come on," I urged, pulling him into the house. I heard a yelp, but it definitely wasn't him. I turned around, puzzled. He looked nervous and on the spot.

"Uh... sounds great, I'll just get changed into something more comfortable, kay sweetie?" he said, kissing me on the head and quickly disappearing into the bedroom. I narrowed my eyes, something was up.

I got a vase and put the roses in, after cutting off half an inch of the stem. I waited for Roman, it was taken a while.

He came out and had his hands behind his back. "What's that?" I asked.

"What's what?" he grinned cheekily.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Princey, the thing you're holding behind your back," I responded. He thought for a moment.

"Close your eyes," he eventually said. I bit my cheek, but did as he said, I felt him grab my arm and lead me over to the couch, he sat me down. I was confused until I felt him place something heavy and furry on my lap. "Open," he whispered. 

I looked down to see a fluffy ball of fur with a tail, four legs, and a snout. A puppy. I gasped and looked at Roman. He grinned.

"We're not nearly old, or mature, enough to raise an actual human being, so a dog baby should be good enough?" he explained. I threw my hands around his neck and pulled him closer. 

"They're adorable!" I squealed. The puppy woke up and looked up at me. Its eyes were brown, and they held an intelligence I hadn't ever seen on a dog. I picked it up so I was cradling the dog. It didn't seem to mind and lazily licked my arm. "Is this why you were late?" I asked Roman, he nodded shyly. I shook my head and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him close and kissing him.

"Sit your ass down and cuddle with your boyfriend and child," I demanded playfully. Roman laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back on him and all was well. I had Roman to take care of me, and now we both had a dog to take care of. Kind of like a stepping stone to a child.

"What are we gonna name him?" Roman asked. I took a good look at the puppy. He had black fur with a light brown muzzle and paws.

"I'm thinking Remy..." I decided, Roman nuzzled my cheek, making me blush.

"Remy it is... Roman, Virgil, and Remy, the perfect family." he smiled, kissing me then Remy. I laughed.

"We will now forever and always smell like dog," I said. I could feel Roman shrug.

"Doesn't matter, now shut up so we can cuddle," he mumbled, hugging me tighter. 

I smiled and made myself comfortable in his arms, laying Remy down on my stomach. We all fell asleep with ease.

I had Roman's arms wrapped around me, and our basically-child in my arms, the perfect way to end Valentines day.
