It was warm and sunny, that day in the park where Roman and his best friend Virgil were hanging out. They were sitting together, side by side in the lush, emerald green grass, and simply talking about their general lives.

During one point in the conversation, Virgil bit his lip and fiddled with his hands; a lingering question occupied his mind.
“Hey Roman?” he started. Roman turned to look at him and hummed in response. “I need your help.”
“Help? For what?” Roman’s eyebrows furrowed in concern for a moment.

“There’s… There’s a guy I have a crush on and… I was wondering if you could help me… help me…” he struggled to find the right words, but luckily Roman was there to do it for him.

“Help you gallantly woo him, swoon for you and make him be your husband to be?” he finished, dramatically throwing his hands in the air and holding his heart. Rolling his eyes, Virgil hit him playfully.

“That was so ridiculously melodramatic but basically, yeah,” the emo laughed.
“Well then, that’s exactly what we’ll do,” Roman said. His eyes then widened excitedly as he gasped. “I’m your love expert!”
“Really? You’re referencing Frozen?” Virgil said, rolling his eyes again but also smirking amusingly. Roman simply shrugged.
“Did you really expect me not to?”

Over the next couple of weeks, Roman helped Virgil with anything in order to capture the heart of the boy he fell for. They left notes in his locker, flowers at his desk and letters scattered in places where only he could find them. Since Virgil wasn’t the absolute best at romancing and making his feelings appear more vivid through words, Roman assisted him with writing down what was on his mind and together, they came up with the most beautiful love letters.

During this time however, Roman hadn’t expected to fall for his best friend himself. Virgil was so attentive and observant of this boy that he was able to pick up his mannerisms, the way he talked, acted, it was clear to Roman that he was in love. But he never in his wildest dreams thought that he would end up helplessly in the same position. The way Virgil spoke so affectionately of his crush and how determined he was to make sure that he was receiving only the best gifts warmed Roman’s heart and it wasn’t long before he started to wish that he was the one that Virgil thought of so dearly.

With his feelings increasing more and more, day by day, Roman started to take more notice of his best friend’s physical features, as well his personality.. He didn’t know he hadn’t managed to fall for him sooner, what with the way his hair was always so perfectly placed, his skin was always so smooth, his lips were always slightly chapped but also appeared so soft and how his eyes always lit up brighter than a thousand stars in the sky when he smiled.

There was no denying that by the third month, Roman was hopelessly in love.

***

Valentine’s day was just around the corner, and Virgil had finally mustered up enough courage to ask his crush out. He would reveal that it was in fact him who was leaving those gifts for him the whole time and that he wanted him to be his valentine.

“I’m gonna do it Ro. Tomorrow, I’ll talk to him,” Virgil said determinedly as he walked down the hallway with his friend. Roman’s heart clenched for a moment at the mention of ‘him’. He couldn’t help but get that twisted feeling of jealousy whenever Virgil talked about his crush. But he masked his envy with encouragement, all for the sake of his friend.
