A/N: I know it’s taken me a long time to update this one, but I felt it was best to wait until finals were over and I was in a better headspace. 🙂 I hope you enjoy this fluffiness ❤

Warnings: Minor Insecurity
It had taken almost an hour to finish the first hand and Virgil was proud of his work. Each nail was a different design, complex and bold and so Roman that Virgil couldn’t help but smile as he studied it. A short discussion had Virgil switching sides, Roman’s other hand relaxed in his lap.When the newly painted hand went to snake around Virgil’s waist, he scoffed, “Don’t you dare ruin those nails.”
Roman tensed for a moment, before relaxing with a soft laugh, “Alright, bossy pants.” He answered quietly, voice low and drowsy, “Feeling any better?”
Virgil gently cleaned some of the ruined polish from Roman’s thumbnail, “A little.” He admitted quietly, ear resting over Roman’s heart, “Thanks.”
Roman curled a little over Virgil, cheek resting on Virgil’s head, hot breath tickling through Virgil’s hair, “Of course, babe.” He whispered, shifting a little to get comfortable, “Any way I can help, I will.”
Virgil couldn’t help but smile, sighing and feeling more tension slip from his shoulders, “Still, thanks.”
Roman smiled, laughing softly, but didn’t reply. And for a while, Virgil was convinced he’d gone back to watching the movie, though Virgil wasn’t actually sure which one was still playing.
But by the time Virgil had finished the bright red basecoat, Roman had relaxed and the weight on Virgil’s head explained what had happened.
The big guy had actually fallen asleep.
