OH MY GOSH ANOTHER ABOUT ROMAN AND VIRGIL. I'm really proud of this one! It took me about three hours to write, but now you guys get to read it! Isn't that great?! If you haven't listened to I'm Not Okay (I Promise), by My Chemical Romance, make sure you do. I listened to it many times while writing this for inspiration, and i'm glad I did. I understand why it's Virgil's favorite song.

Prompt: So we've never met but our showers are on opposite sides of the same apartment wall so sometimes we're showering at the same time and we sing duets

The water poured down as Roman started the shower. He was incredibly nervous to hear the voice again. This time, it was singing "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)", by My Chemical Romance, the raspy voice making its way through the wall. Roman had first heard the voice two days ago. It belonged to one of the guys in the dorm room next to him, though Roman didn't know who.

Roman took a deep breath, and started belting out the words. In an effort to learn more about the voice next door, he had learned all of the lyrics to INOIP the night before. Practicing until he got it right. It had taken most of the night, but he could now sing everything perfectly.

What will it take to show you

That it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay)

I've told you time and time again

You sing the words but don't know what it means (I'm not okay)

To be a joke and look

Another line without a hook

I held you close as we both shook

For the last time, take a good hard look

Roman heard the voice falter, and then the water turned off. He tried to ask the voice its name, but there was no response. The voice had clearly left the room. A bit dejected, Roman got out of the shower, and into his red and gold robe.

The next day…

Roman was not one to give up easily, so he again started the shower, hoping the voice would make another appearance. The voice didn't, but he heard the shower next door turn on. After some time, Roman softly began to sing.

Well, if you wanted honesty

That's all you had to say

I never want to let you down

Or have you go, it's better off this way

For all the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

Remember when you broke your foot

From jumping out the second floor?

The voice quietly joined in. Encouraged, Roman loudly sand the chorus.

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

I'm not okay

You wear me out

Together, they sang the rest of the song. When it ended, Roman caught his breath before asking,

"Do you know Beyonce?"

He started singing

Yes

It's so crazy right now

Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B

The voice joined in

It's ya boy, young

Soon, they were both belting out lyrics

I look and stare so deep in your eyes

I touch on you more and more every time

When you leave, I'm begging you not to go

Call your name two or three times in a row

Such a funny thing for me to try to explain

How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame

'Cause I know I don't understand

Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's

Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)

Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch

Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)

Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss

Got me hoping you'll save me right now

Looking so crazy in love's

Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Roman was having so much fun, he didn't even notice when the water turned freezing cold until the voice screamed.

"What's wrong?!"

"It's just so cold," the voice laughed, "I should go."

"OH! It is cold," Roman tried to hide the disappointment in his voice, "Tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Tomorrow."

One month later…

Roman and the voice had been singing duets together for a month. Roman had never seen him because of busy class schedules, but he had learned the voices name; Virgil. SInce learning Virgil's name, Roman had daydreamed about what he might look like. Was he blond or a brunet? What did his eyes look like? Roman imagined they were a rich brown, the color of his favorite chocolate. These daydreams lead to Roman being more and more determined to meet Virgil. He would sometimes wander the hallways for hours, waiting for Virgil to come out.

One day, Roman as walking down one of the halls, when he heard Virgil's voice. It was coming from the cafeteria, where they were holding auditions for the Talent show. Roman snuck in, excited to finally see Virgil. He looked around, and soon located the source of the voice. The boy looked his age, if not a bit younger. His messy brown hair covered one of his eyes, and had a dark pink streak. HIs black hoodie was large, with patches of purple here and there. Roman say in the back of the room for Virgil's performance, listening to his voice. It was the same voice that he had heard everyday for weeks, but it was different in a large room.

When Virgil's audition was over, he started to walk out of the room. Not wanting to lose him, Roman speed-walked near him, starting to sing INOIP under his breath.

Well, if you wanted honesty

That's all you had to say

I never want to let you down

Or have you go, it's better off this way

For all the dirty looks

The photographs your boyfriend took

Virgil turned towards Roman as he finished the verse

Remember when you broke your foot

From jumping out the second floor?

"Roman?" Virgil's eyebrows raised.

"Hi?" Roman replied, waving weakly. He waved toward the doorway, and they started walking down the hall. Attempting to make more conversation, Roman kept talking.

"You did good at your audition! I liked your song."

"Oh, thanks," Virgil blushed, "I got the idea from you. You know? Beyonce?"

"Yeah." The conversation was getting awkward, and Roman decided to try one more time.

"So," he started, "Since we now know each other out of… out of our bathrooms… maybe we could get to know each other better?"

"Roman Prince," Virgil chuckled, " Are you asking me out?" Roman balked at the akusatio, then rethought what he had just said.

"Maybe…"

"Oh. I was joking. But… Um...sure?"

Roman laughed as Virgil's sheepish expression turned distressed.

"No need to worry," he said reassuringly, "We can go wherever you want. Like Hot Topic!"

"Hey," VIrgil grinned, "I've been meaning to go to The DIsney Store, do you think you could show me the way around?"

Roman smiled, "Yes."

Baby it's you/You're the one I love/You're the one I need/You're the only one I see/Come on baby it's you/You're the one that gives your all/You're the one I can always call/When I need to make everything stop/Finally you put my love on top

~Beyonce
