Chapter Seven
Roman was having more fun than he'd had in a long, long time. So much fun, in fact, that he didn't realize how much time had passed until his phone buzzed with a text from his dad.
Dad: Hey Babes, you heading home any time soon? It's getting late Ro
Roman looked at the text in confusion before realizing it was already 10:30. He showed the text to Virgil quickly. "Oh, I didn't realize it was so late. You guys can sleep over if you want," Virgil offered. "Aw yay! Sleepover!" Patton squealed. "That sounds good," Logan said with a small smile. All eyes turned to Roman. He typed quickly.
Can one of you talk to my dad and ask if I call him?
"Sure, Ro. I'll talk to Remy for ya," Virgil said, moving to sit next to Roman on the couch. Pulling up his dad's contact, Roman clicked Facetime and waited for him to answer. After only two rings, Remy picked up. "Hey Ro! How's it going?" Roman smiled and did a thumbs up. "IS HE OKAY??" A voice yelled from off camera. Roman chuckled lightly. Remy grinned. "Yes, Emile, he's fine. So what's up, Roman?" Roman turned the phone so that Virgil could be seen as well. "Is that an emo nightmare I see?" Remy teased. "Funny as always, Rem. Actually, I was going to ask if it'd be cool for Roman to sleep over tonight. Logan and Patton are staying too." A hint of unsureness flashed across Remy's face, masked with a grin. "Hey Ro? Could me and your father talk to you privately real quick?" Roman nodded and walked into a separate room, nodding once the door shut and he was alone. "Do you think it's the best idea to be away all night? I just don't want you to panic or anything babe," Remy said softly. Roman nodded quickly, trying to show how badly he wanted to stay. "You're positive you'll be okay?" Emile asked. Roman mimed a phone and point into the camera, saying that if he needed to he would call them. The two men look at each other before turning back to Roman with a slight smile. "Alright, Ro. You can stay," Remy said. Roman couldn't help the giant smile that spread across his face. Emile and Remy couldn't help but mirror his expression. They hadn't seen their son that happy in a long time. Roman walked back into the living room, sitting next to Virgil again and turning the camera so they could both be seen. "Sooo?" Virgil asked. "Yes, Roman can stay," Emile said with a smile. Cheering could be heard from Logan and Patton, causing Roman to giggle. "We'll take good care of him, don't worry," Virgil said with an unmistakably happy expression. "We know, Virge. Have fun boys," Remy said, waving at Roman who returned the wave before hanging up. "So, do you guys want to go to my room?" Logan and Patton nodded, standing up and walking toward the stairs. Roman didn't move, however. He felt frozen in his seat. Bedroom means bed. Bed means- "Ro, we know you're pretty, but this isn't a mastermind plan for a giant orgy," Virgil smirked, causing Roman to flush red, relaxing immediately. He stood and followed the other boys up the stairs and into a black and purple room. Roman looked around and smiled before typing a message to Virgil.
I really like your room!
"Thanks, Ro," Virgil blushed lightly. Roman decided right then that he liked to make Virgil blush and would definitely try to do it again soon. "Do you guys want some more comfortable clothes to sleep in?" Virgil asked. "Yes please!" Patton said. "That would be ideal," Logan added. Virgil pulled out a pair of joggers and a t-shirt for Logan and a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for Patton, handing it to them and telling them to go change in the bathroom. As soon as they left, Virgil turned to Roman. "I'm not going to press you for answers because it's not my business, but nobody in their right mind would be wearing jeans and a sweater in this heat unless they had a reason to stay covered. Here," Virgil said lowly, handing Roman a pair of black leggings and a thin white long sleeve. "Don't worry, Ro. I won't bring it up in front of the others. Just..if you need any other clothes or something, pull me aside and I can help you out." Roman felt his eyes water slightly as he pulled Virgil into a tight hug. Virgil hugged him back lightly. After pulling away, the bathroom door opened to reveal the other two, dressed much more comfortably. "Go ahead, Ro, the bathrooms all yours!" Patton said kindly. Roman nodded and went into the small bathroom, changing into his new clothes quickly. When he looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile slightly. He was really lucky to have someone like Virgil in his life to look out for him.
When Roman stepped out of the bathroom, all three boys' eyes widened. They couldn't help it. Roman looked good. The leggings hugged his figure nicely and the shirt showed his slim body. After a moment too long of staring, Roman cleared his throat with a grin. "Apologies, Roman," Logan muttered. Roman just giggled at them. Patton yawned, his exhaustion evident on his face. Logan looked equally as tired, if not more. "Ready for bed?" Virgil asked. Everyone nodded, crawling into Virgil's bed. Everyone except for Roman. Virgil looked at him questioningly, pointing to his own phone to indicate that he should text his concern. Roman understood and typed out his thoughts, despite being slightly embarrassed.
Should I go sleep on the couch?
Virgil chuckled. "No, you dork. You can sleep here with us. As long as you're comfortable, that is." Normally, Roman would be extremely uncomfortable, scared even. But with the three pairs of sleepy eyes looking up at him, Roman couldn't help but nod with a slight smile. Roman started to crawl into the bed when a half-asleep Logan reached up and pulled Roman down, wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him close. Roman smiled this and put his arm around him lightly before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep, completely content surrounded by these boys.
