Sanders Sides One Shots: Volume 2 [COMPLETED]

Valentine's Day (Prinxiety & Logicality)

February 14th, 2020
A/N: I tried to write a one shot every day of the week, but my Monday one got deleted because of the new format on mobile Wattpad so instead, here's one double one shot! I wanted to do all the ships too but I just didn't have the time, but I hope you like this!

Virgil wasn't expecting much to happen on Valentine's Day. It was never his favorite holiday, even as a young boy. He recalled during his yeas in elementary school where Valentine's Day was a big celebration. All the kids gave each other candy and cards so everyone was included; however, there were those that were given more from their crushes. Virgil never received more than the standard amount. It didn't really bother him per say, but he remembered the tugging he felt in his chest at the sight of his peers exchanging more personal gifts while he stayed seated, alone.

He wasn't against romance. It just bothered him because of his anxiety. He felt nervous at the very thought of someone addressing him with the intention of a romantic relationship or worse, a sexual one.

Sex was not on his "priorities" list. If he even considered putting it there, it was likely to be at the bottom, no pun intended. Virgil was a homoromantic demisexual. He liked boys but wasn't in a rush to get to third base.

As for romance, he felt undecided. He'd never been in a relationship before and he'd only been asked a couple times (all of which by emo girls who he politely turned down because... well, gay). He had experienced crushes, but never got the nerve to act on them, and he'd never been asked out by a boy.

It was the week of Valentine's Day that this would change.

He was sitting on a bench in the courtyard before school, sketching to keep himself busy. He was caught up in his drawing and music when a boy approached him and cleared his throat.

Virgil looked up to see a very handsome boy who appeared to be in his grade. When he focused on him, he realized he'd seen him around before.

"Hey, Virgil, right?" he asked as he took off his headphones.

The emo boy nodded and at arched an eyebrow at him. "Can I help you with something? Why are you talking to me?"

"I'm Roman, Roman Prince, I'm in theatre so you've probably seen me around," he explained. "I was wondering if you would be my date on Valentine's Day."

Virgil froze. He hadn't expected that question. "Date for what?" he managed to ask.

The other boy shrugged and smiled hopefully. "My friend's really chill Valentine's Day Party," Roman said. "I'd like to get to know you and maybe be your boyfriend if things go well."

"Why? Why are you asking me?" he questioned uncertainly.

"Well, if I'm honest, I lost a bet-" Virgil's face dropped in disappointment but Roman continued, "-in which my friends flipped a coin. Heads: I ask you out after having a crush on you for six months. Tails: I chicken out, again."

At this, the emo boy looked up in surprise. Roman beamed at him charismatically, winking.

"That was pretty smooth, did you practice in the mirror first?" Virgil asked, fighting back a smile.

"Shh! Don't reveal my secrets!" the theatre boy exclaimed dramatically. They both chuckled a little and Roman spoke again. "So... is that a yes to the date?"

He nodded and held out his hand. Looking a little confused, the other boy took it. Virgil pulled his wrist toward him and pulled out a sharpie. "Here's my number, text me the details."

Roman grinned as he pulled his hand back with the digits. "Thank you! I promise you'll have fun even if we're just friends by the end of it."

He then hurried off, supposedly back to his friends who'd dared him to go ask him out. Virgil smiled to himself as he went back to drawing. He finally had a reason to look forward to Valentine's Day.
