Virgil nodded, lifting Roman into his arms again. When they reached the street, Virgil looked down at Roman, “Which house?”

"I can walk the rest of the way." Roman mumbled.

Virgil huffed, “Maybe, but you won’t, Sherlock. Which house?”

Roman rolled his eyes. "It's a two story with a green-tile roof, the Christmas lights are still up."

Virgil spotted the house and walked over. Finally, he set the detective down.

Virgil stood hesitantly behind him, gnawing on his lip. His entire body still ached and blood still coated the jacket Roman had given to him.

Roman opened the door. "You should get some rest too." he said, looking over his shoulder.

Virgil shrugged halfheartedly, “I would if I could. The boss is probably hunting for me... I need to stay alert or he’ll kill me...”

Virgil hesitated, his voice barely audible, ”Here?”

"Sure, why not?" Roman asked, his legs threatening to collapse at any moment.

Virgil moved to stand next to Roman, sensing his discomfort, “I mean.... You hate me... I betrayed you... Just... lemme help you get to bed, then I’ll leave...”

"I don't hate you, you're in trouble. If you're going to force me to rest, you could at least stay." Roman said.

Virgil sighed softly, “Alright, if you’re sure...” He put a hand on Roman’s shoulder, “C’mon, let’s get you to sleep, Detective Charming.”

Virgil kept Roman upright, leading him to the room. He gently set Roman on the bed.

"No, stay in here." Roman pleaded.

Virgil stopped, “Uh... o-okay...” He sat down in the corner of the room, pulling his knees to his chest.

Roman relaxed, but every time he started falling asleep, coughing would wake him up.

Virgil sighed and left the room and returned with a glass of water, “Here.” He murmured, holding the glass out.

Virgil eventually drifted off into silent night terrors.
