Virgil tapped his pen against his book bored out of his mind. This one lesson was the one he absolutely despised, it was so stupid! The teacher droned on as Virgil laid his head in his arms and closed his eyes.

He let his mind drift too deep thoughts, one thought striking him as interesting.

What if some people could read minds?

Virgil hated the idea that someone could possibly be reading his thoughts at that very second, they were his thoughts - his secret thoughts.

Just in case someone was reading his mind he decided he would scream - in his mind - to scare them.

He sat up and cleared his throat, he didn't know why as he was going to scream in his mind. Why did he suddenly feel nervous? As if someone could actually read minds. Gosh, he needed his friend Logan to instantly shut down these stupid thoughts.

But, he'd do it anyway.

He prepared himself before he screamed in his mind...

Virgil nearly screamed aloud when at the exact same time he screamed his crush a few seats ahead to the right jumped.

What. The. Fuck?

He screamed again and Roman spun around, facing Virgil with a confused, angry and slightly scared expression.

Suddenly realizing what he had done his face dropped into one of horror, slowly he turned forward and quietly packed his things away. Virgil watched him the entire time thinking over and over...he read my mind, he read my mind.

Virgil watched Roman raise his hand, the teacher paused his talking and pointed at Roman. "S-sir...um" he cleared his throat, visibly shaking. "Can I go to the bathroom? Please?"

"Sure, Ro-" the teacher didn't have time to finish before Roman jumped up and sprinted out of the room. This was his chance to follow!

He watched another girl go to raise her hand but Virgil spoke first. "I'll go check to see if he's okay" he blurted, wincing after. He always hated speaking in class because everyone would glance at him - being the center of attention was his worst nightmare.

"I can do it" the girl spoke but Virgil was already standing up.

"You can't enter the boys' bathroom!" Was his excuse as he sprinted with his bag barely on his back. He slowed to a stop at the bathroom door, panting heavily.

What the hell was he doing? Only then did it dawn on him that he was chasing after the boy who could read minds. Oh, and his crush, can't forget that.

He breathed in deeply, clenching his hands before walking in. The bathrooms were silent apart from the quiet muttering coming from Roman. Virgil watched him tug his hair viscously, standing in front of a dirty mirror and bending over the sink.

"Idiot, idiot...Why did you jump?!" He muttered angrily to himself, standing up and hitting the soap dispenser. Soap spurted out but Roman ignored it, leaning on the cold wall and staring at the uncleaned ceiling with brown eyes swimming in emotions.

"Roman?" Virgil's voice broke Roman from his thoughts, the older boy snapped his head to him and he backed away further, trying to conjure up an excuse out of thin air but coming up with nothing apart from splutters.

Virgil walked in fully, closing the door behind him. Roman bit his lip, forcing himself not to read the boys thoughts.

"Tell me the truth..." Virgil started in a stern voice but on the inside, he was terrified, what if he was reading Virgil's thoughts now?

"I Uh...um..heh" Roman awkwardly chuckled, sighing out. He stood up fully, straightening his clothes and hair before walking over to Virgil who backed away slightly.

"Yes," he confirmed the unasked question.

"How? Why me?"

Roman shrugged, "I read a few other minds, they were pretty boring, a girl was imagining something explicit so I panicked and read your mind when you decided to scream, for whatever reason" Roman chuckled, "and you scared me...please don't tell anyone" he added in a fretful voice.

Virgil slowly shook his head, "This can't be happening" he whispered, looking down.

"Well, it is" Roman titled his head up, "I can read minds, you know that now...you must promise to never tell anyone. I couldn't imagine the bullying you would get"

"Wh..What?"

"They won't believe you - they wouldn't believe anyone!" He shrugged, moving his finger from Virgil's chin.

"Have you read my mind before?" Virgil asked Roman as he turned around to grab his bag. The boy paused his movements, giving away the answer instantly.

"You have..."

"Only to see if you had a crush! You were staring at a boy like you did..." a smile crept on Romans face, "then I found out you were staring at that boy thinking of me..." Virgil blushed deeply, feeling incredibly embarrassed because he knew what he was talking about - that moment he was imagining Roman kissing him...

Virgil's eyes stung with unshed tears, Roman wouldn't like him back, why would he? Feeling highly humiliated he spun around and left, leaving Roman alone.

"Wait, Virgil!"

Virgil pressed on, scared Roman might see him cry. The older boy sped up, grabbing Virgil's arm, the younger ripped away from his grip, glaring at him with teary eyes. "W-what?" He snapped, cleaning his eyes with his sleeve.

"Virgil, I didn't mean to upset you! Why do you think I was trying to find out if you had a crush?"

"I don't know!" He yelled, "to embarrass me! Make fun of me cause I'm gay?" He sniffled, carrying on his fast-paced walk to class. Roman grabbed his arm once more, spinning Virgil around. The younger boy pushed him away, eyes narrowed and dark.

"What do you want?"

"I needed to know because I was jealous!"

"Jealous? Why?"

"Isn't it obvious? I like you too!"

Virgil froze, his heart rate increasing so much he could hear it hammering away in his ears. "Y-you like me?" Roman nodded and Virgils body slowly relaxed, "Oh..." he mumbled quietly, realizing he messed up badly.

"Don't think that" Roman mumbled softly, "You didn't mess up anything" he added, standing in front of Virgil.

"Don't...don't read my mind"

"Sorry" Roman chuckled, "force of habit..."

"Do you read everyone?"

"Sometimes, I read liars...teachers...the headmaster, anyone...but I won't read yours if you don't want me to"

Virgil nodded, licking his lips as he suddenly thought of something. "Uh...I-I know I told you not to read my mind but...if...if I'm having a panic attack..could you...I mean.."

"Yes" Roman smiled, "so I will know how to help"

"You read again"

"I'm sorry!"

Virgil smiled, pushing him playfully. "Dork"

Roman softly pushed him against the lockers, "Emo"

Virgil looked up at him, a blush coating his cheeks. "Nimrod"

Roman pressed his hands either side of his head, entrapping Virgil. "Panic at the everywhere..."

"Drama queen"

Roman smirked, "Cutie.."

Virgil blushed further, "bold..."

"Breathtaking"

"Elegant"

"Angelic"

With each compliment, the two moved closer and closer until their lips were only inches apart...

"Fetching" Roman chuckled, now Virgil had to close the gap...

"Doofus..."

With that, their lips pressed together in a passionate kiss.

A while ago my friend read this prompt from her phone and I secretly wrote it down in my notes, so I don't have a picture of the prompt or who to credit so...credits to the person who came up with the "screams in mind and crush jumps" prompt!
