A Duo Misplaced

Start Over

A/N: I just took four flights around the country and I'm still not home, lowkey losing it, but ey I had time to write sooooo

Virgil's POV

As soon as I got to school I immediately made eye contact with Roman. He smirked and proceeded to stalk towards me. I rolled my eyes and walked off before he got remotely close. After what Anx told me, this Roman doesn't deserve my time.

Roman's POV

I scoff and glare as I see Virgil roll his eyes and walk away. How dare he? Not once, has he ever shown me such sass. He never runs away from me either! Except two days ago.. He's been acting very uncharacteristically. Maybe it has to do with what happened at the lake.

Honestly I was freaking out before. When he first fell in the lake I just laughed for a little while until I realized he wasn't coming back up. I just stared at the lake for twenty minutes, not knowing what to do. After a while I just ran off, extremely alarmed. I thought I killed him!

But when he showed up at school yesterday, not knowing what happened, I was relieved, but still mildly worried. At least he doesn't remember that I basically pushed him into the lake. I gave him a break yesterday. But that was yesterday.

He's lucky I'm in a good mood and not looking to blow off some steam.

Virgil's POV

I walk into the cafeteria and look around until I see Thomas waving to me from his table. I sit down across from him as he munches on his sandwich.

"Where were you?" He asks between bites.

"Oh, I had to go to the bathroom."

"Cool." Thomas puts down his sandwich and motions to the lunchline. "Are ya gonna eat?"

I hesitate, "Not hungry."

"Soooo, you still think you're dreaming?"

I stared him in the eye for a moment before breaking down and chuckling. "No- no I don't."

"Oh thank god." Thomas pauses to finish his sandwich. "And you're sticking with the whole dark vibe?"

"And you're asking a bunch of questions?" I mimicked him.

He smiles, "I'm just wondering what's up with you. You've been acting differently."

"Nothing's up with me Thomas, I've just.. gained an appreciation for.. darker.. aesthetics." I made up an excuse on the spot.

"Don't tell me you're going emo on me." Thomas chuckled. I snickered.

"Actually Thomas, I am." He froze and looked for any sense of humor in me. I burst out laughing at his expression and he joined me.

"I really am though."

Thomas and I approach a table in the corner of the library where Remus and Dee sit. Thomas gave them a questioning look and Remus responded. "Oh yeah, of course!"

We sit on an empty side of the table, me and Thomas with our backs to books, Remus across from us, and Dee on a side.

We sit in silence for a bit before I decide to break it. "So, what do you guys usually talk about?"

"I dunno, stuff." Remus shrugged.

"How about those math notes?" Thomas suggested.

Awh shit, yeah, Anx didn't mention those. Maybe I could make something up in case this happens again.
