Roman's POV
"I'm sorry, Ro...I- I can't do it." Virgil chokes out.
My heart breaks a little at the sound of my boyfriends broken voice.
I nod and bring his chin forward to face me. I offer him a small smile, and peck him on the lips.
"We can try again, tomorrow, no pressure. I'm proud of you for staring at it for so long." I say gently.
He looks at me and nods solemnly, his back to the mirror.
He looks lost in thought.
"Something on your mind petal?"
He looks scared.
"... I w -want to try again." his soft voice stern and determined. I was taken aback by this. Where did this courage come from? I couldn't hide the smile that crept across my lips.
"Okay then, Hot topic. Shall we begin?"
He nods and turns around, hands in his lap anxiously, taking deep, slow, breaths.
"Could you... hold my hand? Please...?" He asks me, hesitantly.
"Wow, I even get a please today? The heavens are shining!" I say dramatically. I chuckle at the little giggles that escape his mouth, as he shakes his head at me. I interlace our fingers.
a few moments pass before he raises his head and stares at his reflection.
"You can do it, Love." I encourage him.
he takes a deep breath.
"I...I am beautiful... A-and s-smart."
I wrap my arms around his waist, wiping away a single tear as it rolls down his cheek.
"You can do it. I'm right here." I whisper gently.
He takes a shaky breath.
"A-and important. I- I am...I-I..."
He keeps taking deep breaths and then looks back up at the mirror.
"I...I am l-loved."
He immediately turns around, and gently scoop him up and carry him, as he wraps his legs around my waist and presses his forehead into my shoulder, body heaving with every tear. His muffled sobs echo throughout the bathroom as he clings to my shirt, breathing hard and unsteady.
"I- I don't believe it, Roman, It didn't work!" He sobs.
"Don't be upset Darling. It won't happen overnight. But I'm so proud of you. You did so well! My Chemically Imbalanced Romance." I praise him and kiss his forehead, fighting off tears myself.
He chuckles a little before nuzzling into my chest.
"It'll be slow and there is going to be backtracking. I know this. But I'll do this for you every day until I see you smile at your own reflection." I say, gently running my fingers through his hair.
"Thank you..." He mumbles into my chest.
"Of course. I love you, Virgil." I tell him.
"I love you too, My Prince." He says. " You're my hero, Roman and you will always be. My hero." he mumbled into my chest, falling asleep. I smile. I'll keep fighting for him 'till the end...
