Dates with an aromantic
@aro-sides-week supper Excited to be apart of this. This is an idea I’ve had in min for a while
aro sides: Roman and Logan
Summary: Virgil is trying to set up his two friends but they have something different in mind
Before the chapter starts I should mention that Virgil does not know Roman and Logan are aro. They aren’t necessarily in the closet but they don’t care enough to come out. Also Roman jokes that he’s gay a lot because he is aesthetically attracted to men and also says his sexuality is asexual and doesn’t go into more detail . Also Roman uses they/them pronouns and has a prosthetic leg(I love the Roman doesn't have legs joke too much and it’s now apart of my fics ok)
tw: food, one joke about sex(sex is never said though)
”I’m just saying he is one of the hottest men alive, Roman shouted to Virgil from the couch. Virgil walked over bring the bowl of popcorn with him He sat down next to Patton giving him a small peck on the cheek
“well if you want to date him so much be my guest” Roman laughed before shoving a handful of popcorn into their mouth
”as if. My standards are beyond his capabilities” they said through the popcorn
”chew it don’t spew it” Roman stuck their tongue out at Virgil which was pretty gross with half chewed food on it
”Come on kiddos, stop fighting,” Patton finally said, interrupting his two roommates. “we are ending this food war and starting our Disney Marathon or I will turn this car around” Virgil pouted at his boyfriend “fine but its official I’m getting this heaven a boyfriend if it kills me”
Roman leaned back against the couch “good luck Nightmare at the museum.”
”ouch not your best princey” Roman shrugged as Patton started Lion King
*****
Virgil flipped down on his bed “All I’m saying Logan is one date.” he heard Logan sigh through the other end of the phone
”And what I’m saying is that I need to study. Medical school isn’t easy, you know. I’m far too busy for ‘one date’ as you put it”
”Come on, they're cool people. Worst comes to worst you meet my roommate“
”you understand you could just invite me over to your apartment, correct?”
“No. cause then Patton will make me clean my room”
”Virgil clean your room”
”You aren’t my dad. But that’s not the point. One date, this Saturday.”
“N-“
”They’ll pay for dinner”
”IM IN”
Virgil laughed and hung up the phone. Now all he needed to do was convince Roman to go. It should be easy considering they’re the biggest romantic of all time.
Actually in hindsight he should have asked Roman first. But hindsight is 20 20 and we all know 20 20 sucked.
Virgil knocked on Romans door and walked. Roman was sitting on their bed surrounded by papers and textbooks, their prosthetic leg sitting on the ground next to them to make more room for the papers.
”So. Roman you free this Saturday?” Roman looked up from their textbook
”What do you mean by free? Like movie night free or waiting in line for the newest marvel movie tickets you want to see but don’t want to wait in line for free?”
”IT WAS ONE TIME”
”IT WAS THREE HOURS AND I HAD AN AUDITION THE NEXT DAY”
”Fine. I have a date set up for you.“
Roman shrugged “meh”
”MEH! Come on, it's one date with one of my friends. He and Pat share a couple of classes. you’ll like him”
Roman let out a sigh “I guess. What time and where?”
”YES I'M GOING TO GET YOU LAID FINALLY”
”VIRGIL NO”
”Virgil yes”
”My beautiful asexual ass would like to know the time and location of this date you are setting me up for.“ Roman said shoving Virgil to the floor
”Oh shush your ass isn’t that good.“
”I’d beg to differ”
*****
Roman smoothed their red button down and checked to see if their pronoun necklace was facing the right way before pushing open the door to the restaurant. They walked up to the receptionist who luckily didn’t look to be too busy. “Hello I’m here for a reservation under Roman”
”Oh, the other member of your party just arrived a few minutes ago. I’ll show you to your table”
Roman followed her down the rows of tables ‘God they’re already here. Good first impression to show up late’
They arrived at the table and Roman saw a man in a navy blue button down and tie already seated. Roman thanked the receptionist before sitting down.
”Hello there my marvelous friend. My name is Roman they/them and might I ask who I am in the presents of?”
“Well that was unnecessarily dramatic. But my name is Logan he/him please.“
”Well hello there Logan. Have you had a chance to look over the menu yet or have you been anxiously waiting upon my arrival“
Logan let out a small snort “I just sat down before you arrived. Though there isn't much to the menu. It is an Olive Garden after all”
”breadsticks”
”Really? That’s your only response?”
“What they have good breadsticks”
*****
Once they ordered their food(and ate breadsticks) Roman settled down for a moment. They looked Logan in the eye and took a deep breath
”Hey so I know you really came on this with the intention for a date, and Virgil probably said I’d be all gung ho for it-“
”When have you ever heard Virgil say ’gung ho’ before“
”That’s besides the point. What I need to tell you is that. I’m aromantic. And asexual. So this date can’t really go much further in the direction you probably want and I’m sorry for not saying any-“
Logan slammed his hands down on the table making everyone around him jump “THANK GOD! I thought I was going to have to come out to YOU saying that I was asexual aromantic. And you are quite dramatic I was not exactly looking forward to it”
Roman looked taken aback before they started laughing. Logan looked very confused and said “What’s so funny”
”Nothing, it's just. It’s just Virgil setting up two ace/aros on a DATE!”
Logan started laughing too now “To be fair I never told him” he said between giggles
“NETHER DID I!!!” The two broke into even more laughter. Roman whipped their eyes and sat up
“Well we might as well make the best of it. I mean, what's a new friend?”
”What’s a new friend?” Logan tilted his head to the side
”What… I mean like What’s bad about a new friend. Did you seriously not know what I meant?”
”Yes I am very serious. Necktie”
Roman gave a small laugh “Yup I think we’ll be friends just fine”
******
Roman and Logan finished their dinners and Roman paid so at least Virgil was right about one thing. Roman also suggested they go for a nice walk in the park afterwards because while he is aromantic he is a romantic.(Bu-dum-Ching) Roman grabbed Logans hand and started swinging it dramatically back and forth
”What are you doing Roman”
”I’m flinging us into the sun. I’m just going to swing you back and forth before we rocket into outer space“
”As much as I’d love to go to space I think I might want a space suit with me”
”Finnnneeee. I won’t propel you to Alpha Centauri today” Roman whined still swinging theirs and Logan's arms
“Quite specific“
”Hey, you're not allowed to be the only nerd here. I like space too!”
”If you insist”
the two walked around the park and Roman did eventually let Logan have control of his arm again before Logan noticed Roman limping slightly
“Roman, are you alright? You seem to be limping”
”Huh. Oh yah my legs are just bothering me a little bit. I knew I shouldn’t have worn heels” Logan looked down at Romans high heeled red boots
”I do suppose they look a bit impractical for a walk. To be completely honest with you I was considering wearing my best skirt today though I do not love sitting at dinners in it. It’s quite annoying having to watch how you sit all the time”
”I know. Especially cause I can never sit straight” Roman winked at Logan who rolled his eyes at them.
”How about we go back to your apartment so you can take off your heels. I’ve been meaning to have Virgil show it to me anyways“
”That sounds like an incredible idea. Though I think Patton and Virgil are out on a date right now so we might not see them”
”That’s alright. Roman no you just let go!” Roman grabbed hold of Logan’s arm and started swinging it back and forth again dragging Logan to their apartment laughing.
******
Turns out Patton and Virgil had come back from their date by the time Roman and Logan made it to the apartment.
”Hey there did you two hit it off” Virgil asked smugly leaning against the door to the kitchen.
“Why yes. I have already courted the Price of Logic as mine and we shall together rule the 9 realms” Roman said as they dramatically walked to the couch
”I did not agree to this” Logan said being dragged with them as Roman had STILL not let go of his hand.
“But you did agree to come to the apartment. Where's Patton?” Roman asked turning to see Virgil
”The kitchen. He was about to make some popcorn for a movie night if you guys want some.“
”Why gladly”
”Ok princess a little over the top there”
”I too would like to participate in a movie night“ Logan chimed in.
“Yay. This shall be one of the greatest movie nights of all time.“
”Whatever you say Roman,” Virgil said, not looking up from his phone. Just then Patton walked in from the kitchen holding a large bowl of popcorn
”Logan Roman, your back! How’d it goooooo”
”How about we explain the date after the movie. Now give me the popcorn!!!” Roman laughed half diving for the popcorn in Patton's hands. Patton laughed, handing Roman the bowl. “Do you guys also want some water?”
”I would appreciate some water if you don’t mind showing me where the kitchen is” Logan said standing up
”Roman did you not show Logan around!” Patton chastised
“Hey we just got in! And also in my defense I worse heels today I don’t want to walk around anymore”
”Its fine. I’ll give you a tour while Roman takes off his heels and Virgil takes off his binder!” Patton said walking Logan to the kitchen. Virgil looked up from his phone with a pout
”But I have like an hour left!” Virgil tried to protest but Patton had already. Patton showed Logan to the kitchen and started grabbing two glasses filling them with water “Here’s the kitchen. And then that door right there leads to the bathroom if you need it. And ummmm I guess down the hall are all of our rooms which have our names on the door. I don’t really know how I expected this to take long. We live in a college apartment”
Just then Logan heard shouting from the living room.
“VIRGIL GO TAKE IT OFF!”
”FIGHT ME”
Patton sighed “every time” Logan walked into the living room with his glass of water only to stumble back letting out an oddly robotic scream.
Romand was standing on one leg holding what to Logan looked like a large metal pole over their heads while Virgil jumped over the couch to get away from them. Roman turned around and looked at Logan
”Patton give you the tour?” Logan weekly nodded “Great now. VIRGIL GO TAKE IT OFF”
”NEVER”
”VIRGIL! Come on, you need to take it off.” Patton sighed.
”Fine” Virgil jumped down from the couch before walking to his room
Roman looked over at Logan still frozen in shock in the doorway “You ok Logan” Roman lowered their leg from above their head
”What the fuck” Logan whispered
Roman looked confused for a second before looking down at the leg still in their hands “ohhhh. I don’t think I mentioned the prosthetic”
”I was more confused by the chasing Virgil around with it”
”It happens a lot. You get used to it” Patton said pushing past Logan and handing Roman a glass of water “Just be glad you haven’t walked in on them crawling on the floor in the middle of the night”
”what…” Logan trailed off
”IT WAS ONE TIME AND NOW I TURN THE LIGHTS ON” Roman shouted sitting on the edge of the couch. Virgil finally walked back in the room and the four settled down to watch a movie.
******
Logan got up to the door after the movie finished “Thank you again for having me. I had a fun time tonight“
Virgil smiled from the couch, “You two going to go on another date any time soon?”
”No” Roman and Logan said in unison
”What but you said you had a great time together! Logan came to the apartment!” Virgil shouted standing up
”Oh yeah we forgot again. We’re both aro '' Roman said with a shrug. Logan smiled and opened the door
”Good night. I hope to see you soon” before walking out
Virgil stood in silence for a few seconds before shouting “YOU DIDN'T TELL ME”
