The ginger smirked and exchanged a look with his friends. He appraised Virgil from his stance looming above the human. "Hmm, nah looks like this place is pretty full. How ‘bout you get lost instead?"

Virgil felt his chest ache slightly from the sheer terror of it all, but didn't let it show. "How 'bout you? I'm not leavin' 'til I'm done here, so find another table or fuck off." What the hell are you doing??? These're Giants you can't do anything against them! Nonono augh you already said it!

The Giant scooped up Virgil, coiling his pale fingers around the human’s body tightly. He lifted Virgil inches away from his face. "How. about. no. You're Roman's friend, right?" He grinned menacingly practically spitting the giant's name. Several of his friends laughed and sneered.

Roman, meanwhile, was distracted with Camden calling his name for the drink order. The human barista walked Virgil's hot cocoa out from behind the smaller, human bar built on top of the giant counter while Camden handed him the giant sized cup. The miniscule human drink was in a cardboard tray meant to make it easier for giants to carry. Roman carefully tried to pinch the tray with between two fingers from the human barista. His name tag read Remy, one of Roman's fellow frat members.

It was then that Remy spotted the trouble going down. He looked up at Roman with wide eyes, "Roman! Your friend!"

At the mini barista's words Roman whipped his head around, golden brown eyes instantly locking onto the table across the cafe. Roman's heart skipped a beat when he couldn't see Virgil where he left him. He immediately abandoned both drinks. Roman's eyes flicked to the redhead standing there and narrowed his eyes. Roman recognized the bully from theater and let out a primal growl deep in his throat that he didn't even know he could emit. The giant immediately started storming his way over with all the rage of a chrome knight.

Virgil felt his stomach drop as he was lifted up-this time in a rough grip without warning or consent. Oh fuck, oh fuck. He kept his brave exterior though, keeping the glare up toward the giant. "Put me down."

"Put him down he says," the ginger mocked to his friends, "No. I'm not leaving till I'm done here." he used his own words against him and smiled sinisterly at Virgil, regarding him like a mouse caught in his claws.

Virgil glared, barely keeping himself from shuddering at the sinister grin. "Well I say ya' already are, so how about you fuck. off. ?" What the fuck am I doing. He's going to fucking hurt you if you don't SHUT UP Virge this is why we don't interact with giants!

"You little sh-" The Giant couldn't even finish his insult before Roman appeared in his full six foot five glory. Well, six foot five according to giant scale. To Virgil he was well over a 100 foot skyscraper. Roman vice gripped the ginger's throat, cupping his other hand under Virgil and squeezing the throat hand until the other giant had no choice but to drop Virgil and claw at his own throat. Roman's hand immediately curled around the tiny human and pressed him to his chest protectively. Fury from hell itself blazed in his eyes. Comrade’s friends froze, unsure of what to do without risking triggering Roman into doing worse.

“Huh. I guess your bark is worse than your bite.” Roman’s eye’s sparked dangerously.

Remy and Camden at behind the counter averted their eyes. Camden knew Comrade from working stage crew and Remy heard Roman and the others bitch about the bully and his goonies all the time. It’s not his fault, Remy works long hours and has nothing to do but to listen for gossip.

Virgil's eyes widened, feeling his fear finally betray him as he shook. He watched Roman’s tan hand grip the pale ginger's throat until he found himself falling, only to land in another hand-though this time he wasn't in a fist, instead was cupped up close to a chest... Oh fuck he’s gonna start a fight.

Virgil tried to speak, but his voice came out shaky, barely above a whisper. "Please don't start a-a fight.."

Roman's eyes burned but they flicked downward and smoldered at Virgil's soft words. He growled once more at the ginger, sending a glare worth a thousand scorching suns into the other's eyes. The ginger snarled and held his likely bruised throat, but knowing when he was beaten the giant backed off, signalling for his cronies to leave with him.

When the bell on the door signaled their leave Roman peeled back his hand just enough so he could see Virgil and vice versa. Roman dampened his glare into intense worry but the residual fury didn't completely disappear.

Virgil took a few deep breaths to calm himself, letting out a long sigh before he finally shifted to look up at Roman. "Uh.. Thanks." He turned his gaze away, staring off to the side just so he didn't have to meet Roman's gaze... He'd seen his best friend in plenty of moods, but looking up at him like this... God, it was overwhelming.

Roman's eyes melted. "Hey- are you ok?" He shifted so Virgil was cupped in two palms and held him to his eyes, nudging his arm lightly with a thumb. Roman scanned him, trying to see any damage, but not finding much due to the many layers Virgil always wore.

Virgil hummed slightly, shrugging. He winced slightly from the poke, but didn't acknowledge it. "I'm fine, Ro. Let's just.. have our hot chocolate."

Roman whined slightly, barely audible, before nodding, "Ok." He brought Virgil back down to his chest. He walked back to the drink counter, careful to keep Virgil steady, and held the tray with his hot chocolate out to Virgil.

Virgil sighed quietly. Guess he was staying here, in Roman’s palm... though admittedly, Roman's hands weren't such a bad place to sit. Virgil reached out, tentatively taking the hot chocolate. He blew at the top a few times, before taking a small sip, smiling softly as the warmth and flavor flowed through his body. "They know how t' make drinks at this one, that's for sure."

"Mhmm, been coming here for a while with Patton. I try to get something different each time because everything is so good." Roman picked up his own hot cocoa and looked over at the table that now sat abandoned. He gulped, feeling uneasy just looking at it with what happened. "Wanna just go for a walk?" Roman ran his thumbnail down Virgil's spine gently, not even knowing he was doing so. It was more to absently calm himself than Virgil.

Virgil shuttered slightly at the touch, but it didn't.. feel bad. If anything, it was relaxing... "Sure." He hummed slightly, sipping his hot chocolate.

Roman nodded, heading outside and walking along one of the trails.

Virgil looked around, taking in the scenery. "I usually just go to the one on the Human side a' campus.. I've never really come over to this side of it, in all honesty." The human chuckled slightly. "No wonder I've never seen ya'."

"Huh I guess that makes sense. Giants can be kind of dicks. I wonder if we would have crossed paths by chance if we never found out we go to the same college." Roman’s eyes flicked downward guiltily,

"Maybe.. I’ve never really, gone anywhere that Giants could go though. For uh, reasons stated." Virgil chuckled a bit. He took a long draw from his cooling drink.

"It makes sense why you guys can visit anywhere but we can't, and thank god that law was passed." Roman made a disgusted frown.

"Yeah, thank fuck. Those guys were jerks." Virgil agreed.

Roman glared into the distance, "If they come near you again I can and will shove a rapier up their hind sides." He looked entirely serious as if he were swearing on his ancestors.Shit wait did I just say you instead of us or me.

Virgil felt his face flush. Did he say You?? He quickly hid his blushing face by way of his paper cup. If he mentions anything, I’ll just say the hot chocolate made my face hot. Or I'll just die on the spot. That works too.

Happy Monday, I hope none of you have died during the last school week, I hear many people are having AP exams, good luck if you are!
