Cheater - Virgil x Roman

Start from the beginning
                                    

"I love you" Virgil found himself mumbling, moving his hand from his jacket pocket to rest across Roman's waist, pulling himself closer to the warm body of his boyfriend.

"I love you too, Dearest" Roman replied without hesitance, his voice soft and believable. No wonder he was the best actor in town...that is, if he was lying, maybe he isn't, maybe he's doing something else! Maybe...maybe...or, maybe he is just cheating.

A little time passed by, Roman reaching over to pause the movie, making Virgil furrow his eyebrows and sit up, body still mostly draped across Roman's. He turned on the lamp, and brushed his hair to the side, looking hesitant and suddenly nervous. Oh god...was he about to admit it?

"Virgil, there's something I have to tell you..." Roman drifted, shifting his body position so he was leaning against the headboard at a better angle, Virgil slowly moving away from him to the other side of the bed, covering his hands with his long sleeves.

This is it...

"What?"

"I..." he drifted, chuckling with no humour, unable to stare Virgil in the eye as he spoke. "I feel like I'm...betraying your trust by not telling you something that..happened" he explained slowly, pausing a few times to find the right words. He wanted this to go well, and didn't know how Virgil would react. Does he just...blurt it out? Would Virgil be mad? Upset? Sympathetic?

"Tell me, Roman" Virgil urged, ready to hear his confession and leave the house and spend the night at Patton's. If he predicted what Roman was about to say correctly.

"I know you noticed how often I leave the house during the evening..." Roman began once more, turning his body so he faced Virgil entirely, sitting on his legs like Virgil was. "And...I feel like now I should tell you why" Roman smiled weakly, leaving the bed to slip on a pair of shoes and a warm jacket. Standing by the doorway, he watched Virgil stare at him with narrowed eyes and a closed off expression.

"I want you to meet someone"

"I knew it" Virgil muttered, sliding from the bed to stand opposite Roman who faltered, bringing his eyebrows close in confusion. "Wh...what?"

"I don't want to meet whoever you're cheating on me with" Virgil spat, grabbing his phone from the bedside table before marching past Roman, barging him out the way so he could leave the room. Roman stood in the doorway shocked, unable to move as he tried to understand what the fuck just happened.

"N..no, Virgil!" Roman yelled, sprinting down the staircase to catch him just in time, closing the door before he could leave.

"It's not like that!"

"Then what is it, Roman?" Virgil yelled back, tears brimming his dark eyes that glared at the man he loved.

"I...I have to show you-"

"I don't want to meet your fucking-"

"Please, Virgil!" Roman raises his voice over Virgil's already loud one, staring at him pleadingly. Huffing, Virgil clenched his jaw in anger, crossing his arms as he contemplated whether or not to follow him. It would be a stupid idea, maybe Roman would even suggest the idea of having a three-way relationship! Nothing wrong with it, but Virgil didn't want that, he wanted Roman to himself. Call him selfish, but that was how relationships worked!
