Roman took a deep breath. Here we go, he thought.
Slowly, he raised his fist and timidly knocked on Virgil’s door three times. “Virgil?” He called out. “Are you in there?” The door to the anxious side’s room swung open, with a somewhat annoyed look on its occupant’s face. “What is it, Roman?” Virgil sighed.
Virgil was wearing his signature hoodie, but under it was wearing a t-shirt that featured the checklist “Boy”, “Girl”, and a checkmark next to the last item, which was “Existential Nightmare.” He was wearing more dramatic makeup than usual, with winged eyeliner as sharp as Roman’s sword and eyeshadow (a deep purple and black ombre) on the top of the other side’s lid instead of the bottom. He could tell Virgil had put on foundation, with highlight and contour to boot, not to mention a dark purple lip that was nearly black.
“Well? What was it you wanted to see me for, your majesty? Otherwise I’m just gonna go back to my room.” Roman bit his lip and stood there awkwardly. Virgil raised an eyebrow (perfectly filled and shaped, of course) and started to turn back into his room.
“No! Wait-” Roman called out. Virgil turned back around. “I…” He said. “Can- can you maybe do my makeup?”
Another eyebrow raise. Roman tried his best to put a pleading look on his face. He must have succeeded, because Virgil sighed.
“Fine,” he said. “But go to the living room. I can tell just being on the edge of my room is making you anxious. Meet me there.”
Virgil bit his lip and glanced at Roman’s clothes, which was his normal prince outfit. “Actually, stop by your room and change into clothes you wouldn’t mind getting dirty, just in case.”
