Roman's POV

I looked over to Virgil who was fiddling with his phone. I could see he wasn't actually doing anything on it.

We waited next to the door in an uncomfortable silence, him shifting anxiously every once in a while. Every passing second, I could see him grow even more worried.

After about half an hour of waiting, he turned to me with slight anger but more panic. 

"You know what's going on, don't you? They aren't gonna let us out, are they?"

Damn.

"I don't want to stay in here." he growled. "Tell me, if you know, if there is any way out of this. Please, we've been in here for too long. Remy is sleep. This is Remy's room. Exhaustion and anxiety do not go together, Roman! I know you know what's going on so tell me!" 

I stared at him helplessly. 

"T- they just want something out of me. Is all." 

"Then why did they trap me in here with you?!" 

"I can't tell you that." 

"WHY NOT?!" 

"It doesn't matter why." I calmly stated.

"ROMAN, JUST GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT!" he yelled. He sounded on the verge of tears. I stared him in shock while he just glared back, waiting. 

Should I just give them what they want?

Of course you should, Virgil is panicking. This could turn out very bad. Like he said, exhaustion and anxiety don't go together. Just imagine the things that are running through his tired mind.

This thought got me panicking too.

"Virgil, please, calm down. I can't give them what they want like this."

But this could ruin our relationship. This could ruin us. What if he hates me? What if he doesn't love me back? How will this effect him? How will this effect me?!

"I-" he let out a shuddering breath and swallowed. "alright. I'm sorry for yelling at you. But are we gonna get out or are they just gonna leave us here?"

I rubbed his back comfortingly. I saw him lightly blush, possibly because he was embarrassed, and he leaned into my arm.

Virgil's POV

I blushed. His touch was so soft and sweet.

"Alright... in order for us to get out... I guess I'll do what they want." I stood up slowly, pulling Virgil up along with me. We stood, my hand just above his waist and his hand my shoulder. His blush grew and I could feel my own face get warm. "Virgil. I need you to listen, alright? I'll get us out. All I gotta do is..." I took a deep breath.

"Roman... you're anxious."

"What?" 

"What are you anxious about."

...

"What I have to do is no easy task!" I smiled and announced dramatically. "But I will do it! For my dark prince!" My eyes softened as I looked him the eye.

Now or never.

I couldn't let him suffer in his own mind just because of some stupid prank that my brother wanted to play.

And part of me

kind of wants to get it off my chest.

"Virgil, I have something to confess." he looked at me questioningly. He could probably feel my anxious thoughts thicken. "I just need to get it off my chest. Virgil I l-"

"REMUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSS!" I heard a familiar voice outside the door cut me off. My eyes widened and Virgil smiled at the door excitedly, not, of course, until he had jumped in surprise at the sudden noise. "LET THEM OUT THIS INSTANT!" Virgil broke away from the contact and started pounding on the door, determined. 

"Patton! Let us out!" There was a few knocking around and grumbles of complaint by the dark sides as Patton swung the door open and immediately took Virgil up in his arms. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Kiddo! I leave those guys alone and this happens! My goodness!" While somewhat comforting Virgil, he also kept glancing at me with a questioning look. What happened? 

"Awww, we were just having some fun!" Remus complained and he and Deceit sank out to their rooms. Remy looked apologetic.

Virgil then smiled apologetically and turned to me. "I'm sorry, Roman. We were kind of interrupted. What were you saying?" he said while still letting Patton hold him. Patton smiled at this fact. 

"W- well uh... it's nothing." I mumbled. He looked at me concerned and sighed.

"Alright... but... I'm sorry. For snapping at you... It was uncalled for. I was just... scared. I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean it!"

"No, no I understand, Virgil. It's alright." I soothed, holding up a hand, beckoning him to calm down. He noticeably relaxed out of Patton's arms and they both shot each other a small smile. Patton then whipped his head around, suddenly furious. It scared me, how easily Patton could switch emotions to the appropriate one. He glared at Remy.

"Who's idea was it?" he growled quietly, giving Remy a death look. It was a simple prank! Why was he so mad?

"R- Remus'!" Remy stuttered in a panic. 

"Ever hurt my children again and you will be grounded for a month! Do you understand?" Remy appeared very puzzled by the small punishment but quickly nodded. "Good." Patton then whipped out his phone and started texting.

I will freaking put you both on time out. How DARE you try and force Roman into telling them. You will never hear the end of it!!

Roman's POV

He put his phone away quickly and turned to us with a smile. "Sorry, gotta run, I have... things... to do. You guys alright? Nothing happened?" He looked at me when he shot that last question and I shook my head as a response.

"We're alright." Virgil said with a shy smile, not seeing our exchange.

"Good. I'll be back soon." And with that, Patton sank out without telling us what exactly he was gonna do. I was kind of terrified to find out anyway. I rubbed Virgil's head and his reaction was the expected hiss of anger. I laughed.

"You good?"

"I'm fine. I just overreacted."

"Nonsense. How about we go up to my room, watch a movie or something and shake all of this off. Like Taylor Swift." Virgil rolled his eyes.

"Nah, you got work to do. I know you do." I grumbled a complaint but I knew he was right. I gave him a two finger salute.

"Cya my dark overlord."

"C'ya Princey."

Wow, that was a mess.

Patton's POV

Wow, that was a mess. I thought as I swiped my hands together and admired my work on the dark sides. "I guess you've learned your lesson."

"Yes, siiiirrrrr." Deceit grumbled, smiling. They were both tied up in a corner covered in glue and glitter. 

"And you won't make Roman tell Virgil again?" 

"No." Remus grumbled begrudgingly. 

"Good! Now you can sit in time out for a while, while I go get dinner started. C'ya kiddos!" And with that, I skipped away and sank out.
