          Third Person

     It had been a whole month since the "Entities" situation. Virgil and Roman had been in a happy relationship, along with Logan and Patton.

     Right now, Virgil was curled up on the couch, being far too comfy and exhausted to move after staying up all night.

     He heard the faint sound of an alarm go off. He jolted awake, being slightly glad that he didn't fall asleep.

     He nuzzled back into his blankets as the soft click of a door opening and closing kept him awake. He heard footsteps coming towards the couch. He shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

     He felt a hand on his shoulder, and slowly opened his eyes. "Have you stayed up all night again?" Roman asked. "N-No......" Virgil denied, avoiding eye contact from his boyfriend. "Don't lie to me." Roman persisted, wanting an honest answer from his boyfriend.

     "...okay, maybe I did..." Virgil mumbled. "B-But I was binging Adventure Time!" "No excuse for losing sleep." Roman said, lying down next to him. "I assume you're exhausted?" "Yeah..." Virgil mumbled, accompanied with a yawn.

     Roman slid under the blankets, finding himself almost as tired as his boyfriend. He let out a yawn himself. "I'm goin' to sleep..." Virgil mumbled, nuzzling close and cuddling his boyfriend. Roman returned the gesture, holding Virgil close. "Me too..." He muttered.

     Virgil let out another yawn and buried his face in Roman's chest as the sun slowly started to rise, pinks and oranges painting the sky. "I love you, Virge." Roman mumbled happily. He was completely content, lying sleepily with his boyfriend on the couch.

     "I love you more..." Virgil mumbled. He was one of the cutesy, more adorable and romantic than on avelan-average, type of sleepy person. He was falling asleep in his boyfriends arms, feeling safe and protected, knowing nothing bad could happen to them.

     "I don't think that's possible, kitten." Roman teased. "I think it is." Virgil said, looking up at his boyfriend. He lightly pecked him on the lips. Roman giggled softly, pulling Virgil in for another kiss. This one lasted much longer than the last one, soft and innocent, full of love.

     Virgil slowly pulled away, nuzzling back into Roman's chest. They laid like that for what felt like forever, just enjoying being in one another embrace.

     Soon enough, Virgil found himself almost half asleep. The warmth of his boyfriend and the light sounds of rain hitting the ground, which started not too long ago, had been lulling him to sleep.

     Roman started twirling Virgil's hair in his fingers, softly whispering to him. Virgil eventually started to drift off. The silence there was peaceful, and it was completely comfortable.

     "Are all your scars healed?" Virgil asked softly, breaking the silence completely. "Most of them, yes. Why do you ask?" Roman asked curiously, wondering why his boyfriend asked him out of the blue.

     "O-Oh...no reason." Virgil said shyly. "Virgil, love, what's wrong? I know you're worried, you don't have to be anxious to tell me..." Roman reassured, looking at him with worried eyes.

     "I-It's nothing.." Virgil mumbled. "Princess....please." Roman begged. He wanted to know what was troubling his boyfriend. Roman absolutely hated seeing Virgil worried, even though that was a majority of the time, but he just couldn't bare it.

     "It's just....I can't help but feel guilty for what happened..." Virgil mumbled. "I know that it really isn't my fault, but it just keeps reminding me of how much of a screw up I am..."

     Roman captured his boyfriend's lips in a soft, passionate kiss. He pulled away after what felt like forever, looking softly at his boyfriend. "You aren't a screw up, Virgil. You're absolutely perfect, no matter what you say." Roman said.

     "Easy for you to say..." Virgil mumbled. "That's what you think." "But what I think is true." Roman persisted. He wanted Virgil to think he was as amazing as the universe thought he was.

     "No it isn't..." Virgil mumbled, completely avoiding eye contact with his boyfriend. "Why do you think so low of yourself...?" Roman asked softly, not wanting to send his boyfriend into a panicked state.

    "Why should I think high of myself? I'm not special, I'm not worth much, and I frankly still have no idea why you love me..." Virgil mumbled. Roman took a moment to respond, but just as he was about to, he was cut off. "When will you just break it off with me? I'd rather it be sooner or later..."

     Roman gripped his boyfriend tightly, gently setting a hand on top of his head and letting a tear slip down his cheek. "Virgil, I'm never going to break up with you. I swear on my life, I'll never even think about something as horrible as that. Don't you ever think I'll do that..." He mumbled, letting out a soft sob.

     Virgil looked up at his boyfriend, cupping his face lightly and wiping away his tears. "D-Don't cry...please." He mumbled, feeling himself start to tear up as well. "I-I just...why would you ever think I-I'd do that...?" Roman muttered.

     "Well, there's not a lot to love about me....." Virgil mumbled. Before he could continue, Roman softly pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "There is so much to love about you, you don't even know..." He mumbled. "I can't see how you don't realize it..."

     "Really? Name one." Virgil said. "Easily." Roman said with a small chuckle. "Well, you and your adorable cat like behavior absolutely adoring, my kitten." Roman lightly pecked him on his nose. "The fact that I'll always be here to save you is just another reason I keep going, my princess." Roman continued, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "And you're the one I fell for, yet when I'm with you I feel like I'm flying, my love." He pecked him on the lips.

     "You treat me like I'm royalty..." Virgil mumbled. "Well why shouldn't I?" Roman asked. "Because, I just...." Virgil trailed off. "You can't think of a valuable reason, can you?" Roman teased. "Oh shut it." Virgil mumbled, looking off. "Why do you treat me like royalty?"

     "You know why?" Roman asked. Virgil softly shook his head. "Because, you're my kitten, my princess, my love," Roman paused, embracing Virgil and pressing his lips softly to his.
