Things Left Unspoken (SandersSidesAU)

Chapter Twenty

Roman
    The game night went okay, Alex tried to ask Patton and Virgil about their family but everyone else shut him down before he could. Virgil and Roman got to play as a team for some of them and others Virgil watched as Roman lost. The group he had was nice, and they really like Patton and Logan as well as Virgil. They even invited the three back to the next game night next week.

    The weeks went by, Roman and Virgil ran lines, Virgil planned the makeup he would do and then who would do who. Alicia had jumped on the train of shipping Virgil and Roman. She would go through the scenes with Roman and make sure to respect his space if he needed it, but she would also talk with Virgil about who knows what. It only stopped when Virgil asked her and he would walk away. After, Virgil would sit behind his uncle and watch Roman and her with a look that Roman couldn't place.

    Currently, it was time for everyone to leave for Thanksgiving. The school gave six days, they would leave on a Wednesday and they would come back on Sunday or Monday. Roman was packing a few things, Micheal had left on Tuesday night. So he was alone in his dorm, it felt weird.

    He had shared a room with Remus until they hit middle school, then they got separate rooms. Remus was upset but then he got used to it, he wasn't sure how they could adjust each time. But I guess he was going to get used to it before college happened.

    He sighed and softly sang to himself as he asked things up. He was taking the duffel bag home mostly empty so he could bring some other things and then leave them here for Christmas break. He was halfway through the song when he turned around to see Virgil standing in the doorway smiling.

    Roman screamed, which caused Virgil to almost make a sound. Instead he looked even more amused. "You scared me." Roman said. Virgil shrugged. And moved over to Roman's bed. He jumped up on it and looked at what Roman was packing.

    Sorry. Virgil signed. Roman had learned a few so Virgil didn't have to keep writing. But didn't know enough to make out everything that Virgil said. Virgil looked at him and Roman got the hint. Roman now figured he knew what Remus did to scare him.

    "I am packing for home." Roman said. "My brother is coming to get me, we are going to drive to my aunt's house for tomorrow and then I pray I don't get asked how many fights I got in. I am a bit of a black sheep of my family." Roman said.

    "Considering you were sent here based on behavior, I am not surprised." Virgil's phone said. Roman laughed and nodded. "But based on the stories you told me, I can't see it."

    Roman looked up at Virgil who was smiling. "What do you mean?" Roman asked while leaning.

    "Well you obviously are super sweet to your little cousins and if that picture is any indicator, you brother as well." Virgil shrugged.

    "I hate it when you are right." Roman said. "So what are plans for Thanksgiving? Do you go see your family?"

    Virgil shook his head. "No, mostly they come here. It's mostly my uncles, my grandparents, and a load of Thomas' friends."

    "Oh, that's still awesome." Roman said with a smile. He checked the time, Remus would be here soon and Roman really didn't want to introduce them now.

    "I guess it's better than if I went home so I am not complaining."

    "Oh?" Roman said but the look on Virgil's face said not to push it, just yet. "Want to talk about it?" Virgil shook his head.

    "Do you need help with anything?"

    "No, I am okay but if you want to hang out a little longer, we can." Roman said zipping his duffel bag up and putting it on the ground. Virgil nodded and laid back on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Roman laid down next to him and fought the urge to cuddle Virgil.
