TW: Slight mentions of self harm

timeskUP.

          Anxiety's POV

     It's been a whole week since me and Roman have gotten back together, and it's been one of the happiest weeks of my life. All we've done is spend time together. We're always either cuddling or talking with each other. It's been good. We spent about two days just talking about how we felt during the whole breakup, I of course talking most of the time. I don't like expressing my emotions, but when I do, I go into deep detail.

     Right now, me and Roman were cuddling on my bed, watching a Disney movie and talking. Roman was running his fingers through my hair in a comforting manner. I leaned into his touch, starting to feel even more relaxed. "Tired, love?" Roman asked me. "...a little..." I mumbled, leaning closer to him. "I love you..." I said, pressing a kiss to the tip of his nose. "I love you too." He muttered. I looked over at my phone, checking the time on it. Almost three in the morning...I looked back over at Roman, seeing him look almost a little bit tired.

     "...If I may ask..." He paused. "Did you think about...uh, y-you know..." My heart sank. Of course I had thought about that, but I never told him about it. It took me a while to respond, I was so hesitant. I didn't want to tell him...but I probably should. "Erm..." I mumbled. That was all I could get out. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, princess. I just wanna make sure you're okay..." Roman said, placing his hand on mine. I felt a wave of reassurance of wash over me. "Look, I did...but I..." I cut myself off. I don't wanna lie to him! He's my boyfriend...and we just got back together. "I did..." I finished. I saw his once neutral expression drop to a slight frown. "Can I see your arm if you're okay with it...?" He asked softly.

     I hesitated a bit before reluctantly handing him my arm. He lightly grabbed it, slowly moving up my sleeve. I watched as he slowly examined my arm, lightly caressing each cut. "Virg-" I cut him off. "Look, I know it's bad to do, but I'm trying...I really am. I don't want to do this but sometimes it's the only way...especially if I have no one to talk to..." I mumbled the last bits. He brought his arm up from my arm and lightly cupped my cheek. "Virgil, I realize that now, and I want to help you as much as I can..." I leaned into his touch. "I don't want you to get hurt at all, and just seeing you do this to yourself pains me greatly..." I was saddened by his words.

     "...I'm trying, okay? It's just...it's difficult...hard to get through..." I mumbled. "I know, love. But we'll get through this together." He said, intertwining his hand with mine. They fit perfectly, almost as if they were meant for each other. I felt tears well up in my eyes. "T-Thank you..." I mumbled, wiping some of my tears off with my sleeve. He cupped my face with his hand and swept his thumb across my cheek.

      "How did I get so lucky...?" I mumbled. "That's sweet...but I think I'm the lucky one." He said with a sweet smile. I pulled him in for a sweet kiss, earning a response immediately. He pulled away from the kiss, the smile still on his face. "I love you so much..." I mumbled. "I love you more~" He said, pulling me back in for another kiss, lasting much longer than the last one. I pulled away, regaining my breath.

     I let out a soft yawn, curling up on Roman's lap. He let out a small chuckle before running his fingers through my hair. "You're so catlike..." He mumbled. "No, I'm not..." I denied it. I didn't want to admit it...but he was kinda right. "Deny it all you want, kitten. It's the truth and you know it." He said with a slight playful tone. "Whatever..." I mumbled, burying my face in his chest. He pulled my hoodie off of me and set it down somewhere. He pulled one of my blankets over us before a wave of sleepiness crash over me.

     I let out another tired yawn before almost giving into sleep. Almost. I was so tired, I just wanted to prolong the inevitable, I wanted to stay awake and spend more time with Roman. I know that any time he spent with me was good, awake or not. I leaned into his touch, fully relaxed at this point. I was so tired, I just gave into sleep...

          Roman's POV

     I felt the weight on my chest become heavier and heavier and his breathing had become softer. Anxiety had fallen asleep in my lap. I smiled a little before slowly removing my fingers from his hair. I let out a happy sigh before returning my gaze to the movie. It wasn't long before my eyes were fixated once more on the sleeping boy. God, he's so beautiful...he's adorable, he's amazing, he's perfect...I pressed a kiss to the top of his head before slipping into a dreamlike world...
