Logan recalls a time when he knew a boy in his class that was really shy. T
It was a Friday when the group of friends decided to schedule a movie/game night. They had all been very busy lately and despite their Wednesday meet-ups, it was still annoying having to go so long without being able to relax and hang out with your small family.
Hence why they had all gotten a call from Patton to meet up at his place for a movie/game night. Now, even though it had begun as that, it soon became a “story time” night, as dubbed by Roman.

In Middle School, there was boy that I shared most of my classes with. I don’t remember much about him other than he was fairly thin and frail, along with that he always wore a black hoodie.

“Virgil!” Roman rushed after his boyfriend who stumbled down the streets, blinded by tears. Virgil may have been fast, but in this moment, Roman was faster.
Wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s waist, Roman pulled Virgil close to him as the other boy struggled in his grasp. “Let me go! No! Let me go, let me go!” Virgil’s screams tore at Roman’s heart, however his struggles only served to make Roman tighten his grip.
“Virgil, love, please calm down. You’re safe, I promise. I won’t let anyone cause harm to you. I swear on my life.” Roman’s voice was calm and soothing as he spoke. Virgil struggle a bit more before finally giving in and allowing himself to be cradled in his boyfriend’s
