Chapter Text
Virgil seemed at a loss of words at that. Silence filled the room like a thick blanket. It covered everything slowly, taking up all of the air.
“Why would we not?”
“Because I’m me.”
“God Roman. You're so wonderful. You're always there for us. Even when you dropped away, you still cared. Remember when I had my first panic attack around you guys? And you immediately knew what to do because you did research in case that I might panic again. You always offer to cook when Patton can't do it and your cooking is amazing. Logan always goes on about how you listen to him and actually respond instead of just nodding. You're our prince and that doesn't just mean you're a person who gets everything. No, you're one of the most caring and loving people I know. You will always make sure we are okay and safe.” If Roman was crying at this he would deny it. “You ask how we could love you, but how could we not?”
“Do the others know?” Roman distracted from the conversation.
“Roman…” Virilg said in a low tone. More forcely Roman asked again.
“Do the others know?” Virgil nodded.
“They came in once I patched you up. Their currently making breakfast and sleeping.” Roman said nothing. “Why do you think we couldn't love you? Please answer honestly.”
“Because I’m me. I'm loud, I’m rude, I’m mean. I constantly insult you, Logan always hates being around me because I’m so loud and obnoxious, and Patton eventually just gets tired of me. Also on top of that look at this body. Its scarred and weak. If I’m not able to be strong and protect you, I shouldn't deserve you love. And why would you love someone covered in scars?” Roman was too tired to try to hide anything anyways, He knew that Virigl wouldn't leave unless he answered honestly.
“Roman, your scars are beautiful.” Viril moved closer and put a hand on Roman's arm. “Listen, we love you because you are loud. You fill up the empty space in the room. You and Patton are like our sins. The sun is bright and loud, but we still love it for being like that.” Virgil started to run his hands over Romans arms. “Your scars do not show that your weak. They show that you were strong enough to survive.”
“Virgil…” Suddenly there was a knock.
“Hey, I brought Breakfast.” Patton opened the door carrying two plates. “How's Roman doing?”
“I’m alive.” Patton almost dropped the plates after hearing Roman speak.
“ROMAN!!!!!!!” Patton set the plate down on the ground and ran over. He threw his arms around Roman who winced from the pain. “Oh I'm sorry. Are you okay? Have you been crying?”
“It's okay. I’m fine. And don't worry about it.” Roman reached up and put his arms around Pat. He was happy to rest in the heat of someone else's body.
“Holy shit you had us so scared. Never ever, ever do that again.” Patton squeezed roman at this.
“Patton, there is no need to worry. I will never, ever, ever, get that hurt again. And it was merely a flesh wound.” Roman put on a comforting tone. Suddenly Virigl had an idea.
“Hey Pat.” Patton turned to Virge.
“Yeah?”
“Do you love princy? Like Romantically?” Virgil asked.
“Virgil I thought we were going to talk about this after he was better and when we were all together.” Patton had a little pouty face. Romans body filled with fear. “But okay.” Patton stopped hugging Roman and sat up. “Roman, I do like you!”
“What?” Roman replied with confusion. Virgil silently summoned logan.
“Hey, our prince doubts that he's good enough for us.” Patton gasped at this news.
“What! No way! Roman your perfect!!” Reaching out, Patton took Romans face in between his hands. “How could you say that?!” Roman didn't realize, still stunned with the news.
“Roman that is not..” Logan struggled with the right word. “Right. You're a valuable side and you are always ‘good’ enough.” Virilg let out a small snort.
“No Lo, Roman doesnt think he deserves our love. In a romantic way.”
“Ohhh that is bullshit. To say the least. Everybody deserves love, especially Roman. Also considering you have most likely been ignored because of our relationship.”
“See Roman, we love you.” Virgil added in. “You may not realize that but we do.”
“I… do not understand why but I will not argue.” Roman said his words carefully. Tried to hide the fact that it felt like his heart was slowly healing. He did not believe that he deserved their love but this is all he had wanted so he did not want to deny it.
“Good because now I have a question for you?”
“Roman,Creativity Sanders, would you like to join our relationship? Because we would love to have you.” Roman felt the masks slip away. He felt his heart that was in a million pieces slowly come back together.
“Yes I would love that.”
