Roman's POV

I decided I should just stay home from school, at least for a day. All I had to do was tell my mom I wasn't feeling well and she let me stay home.

Remus did call me a wimp but he's called me worse so I don't really care all that much . I just want to stay as far away from Virgil as possible.

Neither of us want anything to do with each other right? I've never heard of the universe making mistakes before, but this has to be one.

I spent the entire day being practically useless to society, but to be completely honest i didn't really care. I got to sit around all day in my pajamas and watch Disney movies. The only time I left my house was when I drove to the gas station that was close-ish to my house.

I did change into jeans and a white hoodie with a red tie dye design when I left though. A prince has got to slay after all.

I'm just gonna say, having snacks all to myself without Remus appearing out of nowhere and steeling them is quite nice.

He acts like we don't feed him!

My birth-giver did check up on me on her lunch break and we talked for a bit before she had to leave.

So in total, I talked to my mom this morning, an adorable little girl at the gas station who asked me to grab her something off the top shelf, that little girl's mom who was also very kind, and my mom at lunch.

As an extrovert who feeds off of social interaction as much as I would assume Virgil feeds off of mortal souls, I really feel like having at the very least a conversation with someone.

I'm starting to get desperate.

I know Remus is getting home soon which slightly scares me, I might be forced to talk to him.

Last time I tried to have an actual normal simple conversation with him he just started laughing then left the room so I'd rather not try that royal bs again.

Unsurprisingly right when school ended I got a text.

It was from Patton, he was asking me why I wasn't at school, he also said that I should be careful because people saw Virgil and Remus talking to each other at some point.

Remus walked in a few minutes later looking like his smug self.

"Speak of the devil..." I mumbled standing up from my laying position on the couch.

"Hello to you too! I had the most wonderful day thanks for asking. You should've gone to school, Patton was really sad and a certain purple haired emo was pissed!"

So they did talk to each other... that doesn't sound to good for me.

I walked over to him and took a deep breath.

"Well, I feel awful for making Patton feel that way and I don't really care about how that 'certain purple haired emo' is feeling to be honest."

Remus perked up a bit.

"Oh thanks for reminding me! I can't believe I almost forgot!" He said setting his dark green backpack onto the kitchen counter.

He cracked his knuckles like how he did when we were younger when he was trying to scare me then just fucking punched me in the shoulder. Like really hard.

"Dude what the hell!" I exclaimed clutching my shoulder.

"You see little brother, I told you Virgil was pissed and well... it was either that or give you a black eye so really you should be thanking me!" Remus said condescendingly.

"Okay first of all, you know mom told you to stop giving me god damn black eyes, second why the hell would you do what Virgil told you to do? You barley even listen to your own advice! And finally, you're not older than me!"

My brother who is unlikely to get a significant other later in life just chuckled and left the room. Leaving me to suffer.

I got another text. It was Patton again asking what I did all day.

I gave him a short explanation with an apology at the end addressing me not being at school and why I took so long to reply.

Padre: Wow, are you mad at Virge??

Me: Honestly not really

Me: I'm more mad at Remus

Padre: huh I was not expecting that

Me: I dunno I can't force myself to hate him for some reason

Wait.

Wow I'm such an idiot. I can't force myself to hate him because he's my gosh darn soulmate! Honestly I'm surprised Logan hasn't left us yet.

My dad got home about an hour later with my mom following thirty minutes later, they both asked me how I was feeling and all that jazz. Normal parent stuff.

Once more people showed up and I finally got the social interaction I was so desperately craving, there was a knock on the door. It wasn't very urgent sounding. My parents and I exchanged looks before my parents both got up and answered the door.

"Hello, who might you be?" My mother asked whoever was at the door. I couldn't see whoever it was past them.

I guess this person said something quietly because my mom answered "Okay I'll get call him out." then turned to face me.

"Honey could you please go get Remus?" She asked me in a hushed voice.

I was hella shocked.

No one ever wants to see Remus.

Begrudgingly I got up and dragged Remus out of his room.

Once my brother and I got to the living room we saw probably the last thing I wanted to see today.

My parents were awkwardly standing in the living room and across from them stood well... a certain purple haired emo who looked even more awkward.

Remus looked over at me and smirked while I stood there absolutely dumbfounded.

"You needed me for something?" Remus asked innocently.

Virgil nodded not making eye contact with anyone.

Remus guided Virgil into his room and I looked to my parents for guidance.

They looked as confused as I did.
