Things Left Unspoken (SandersSidesAU)

Chapter Fifty

Roman

Finals had come around and now it was time to tell Virgil that his choice was to stay here at Westward for the next year so Roman could stay with him. But they were also supposed to be working on a project for a class that they were to present to the class during their finals time. As Roman stood at the purple door and debated how he was going to tell Virgil and held his hand out to the door about to knock.

He was in this position for about ten minutes. Michael was also standing with him, as he had come with Roman and had been waiting for him to knock on the door.

"What are you waiting for?" He whispered.

"I don't know." Roman said back.

"Do you know how to knock?" Michael asked and Roman glared at him. "Just checking." He said.

"I am just nervous, I guess." Roman responded.

"Why? It's just Virgil." Michael commented. Roman gave him a look. "I am right though."

After another few minutes, Michael got fed up or bored and decided to knock on the door himself. He turned and sprinted down the hallway. Roman snapped his head over towards him and glared, what he didn't realize was that his eyes flashed a bright red and there were some red lights that appeared near Michael's feet.

Michael tripped as he was running and then the door opened to reveal Virgil which tore Roman's attention away from Michael.

"Hi." Roman said and Virgil confusedly waved to him and then walked into the dorm room. Roman followed and closed the door.

Roman was not sure why he was so nervous, he had been in this room countless times in the almost nine months that Roman has been at Westward and like Michael said, this was Virgil. He shouldn't have to be worried, but he was.

Roman was scared of how Virgil was going to react to Roman staying. Was he going to be upset? Was he going to be happy? Roman would assume that he was going to be happy that Roman would be returning but was that true?

Roman was not sure because those who he assumed were his friends did not react all that well. Matt was upset for a little bit, but a little while later he texted Roman to tell him that he was upset that he would be leaving but Matt was happy that he had found a place where he was happy and met someone who made him happy. Roman was more worried about the other person.

Pranks did not take it as well. When Roman told him, Pranks got upset and started swearing and calling the people he knew about names. When he got to Virgil, he called him a slew of things that Roman did not take kindly to. Once Pranks accused Roman of staying because Virgil put out and called him a slut, Roman snapped and punched him square in the face.

If Remus did not intervene when he did, Roman would have done a lot more than land a few punches. Unconsciously, Roman flexed his hands like they were still bruised and sore from that interaction. Roman had been staring at the same wall and standing for a few minutes before he noticed that Virgil was trying to get his attention.

And by getting his attention, he got hit in the face with a pillow.

And then another pillow.

And lastly a stuffed animal.

Once Virgil threw the second stuffed animal, Roman caught it before it hit his face. "Yes?" He asked.

Virgil handed him a note. You weren't saying anything and just staring into space, I got worried something else was going on.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Roman responded, something flashed in Virgil's eyes before he nodded and then sat down on his couch. "Anyway, what were you thinking about for our project?" Roman asked as he sat down and unpacked.
