The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

23

It took another hour for the others to wake up; Janus couldn't have been more thankful for the time to recompose himself and finally get to know his soulmate now that he knew the reason behind his actions.

The snake like guy couldn't tear his eyes off of Patton, everything about him pulled him in, screaming softness and kindness. He didn't know how he managed to keep his distance for so long, when in that moment, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep himself away from his lover's arms.

On his part, Patton did not complain in the slightest; he enjoyed having Janus all cuddled up on his chest, Diego gently wrapping his body around the both of them, and for the first time in his life he managed to feel complete and thoroughly content. It didn't matter if they were in a cavern in the middle of the forest, trying to get back to the castle while being chased by a bunch of expert killers. He was just happy to have cuddles form his soulmate.

A low growl interrupted their quiet talking, making the two guys jump and Diego immediately hiss. Their eyes both snapped towards the source of the sound, meeting the much more threatening ones of the dragon; her glare was clearly directed at Janus, who just looked at her petrified, eyes wide with fear and surprise.

What Nyx did not expect though, was to have her glare reciprocated. And what she expected even less, was for that glare to be coming from Patton out of everyone.

"Nyx. Knock it off. Now." He said, his tone stern, ignoring the small confused whine the dragon let out.

Janus moved closer to the usually cheery guy, making the dragon's eyes once again snap to him with a more uncertain growl.

"Hey!" Patton immediately intervened again, "I said knock. It. Off."

"What-" Virgil's sleepy question was interrupted by a quick yawn as the kerfuffle woke him up. "What is happening?"

"Nyx is growling at my soulmate and won't stop. I don't care if she's doing to protect me. Either she stops or I'm revoking all her pets and cuddle privileges."

There were a few seconds of silence as the others started to slightly stir awake. Despite the slight softness in Patton's words they were still stern and serious, having completely gone in dad mode, his arms holding Janus a little tighter.

The snake-like guy still couldn't believe this guy was his soulmate: cute and soft on the outside, but willing to fight a freaking dragon if it meant protecting him after only one day of actually knowing him.

"He made you cry!" Nyx exclaimed, making almost everyone jump as she took control of Virgil voice.

Patton remained unreadable, only raising an eyebrow. "Your point? Roman has made Virgil cry too and you have forgiven, him."

"I still think he's a huge moron-"

"Hey!" The prince exclaimed indignantly, but was immediately shushed by the glares both the dragon and Patton sent him.

"I'm still mad at him and I wouldn't be this close to him if I could help it, but at least he had his reasons to act like an asshole."

Once again Patton just stayed silent, straightening his back slightly and rubbing Janus' shoulder with his thumb to help the both of them calm down.

"And what makes you think Jan has his reasons too? The fact that you don't know them? He is allowed to not disclose private information with someone whom he's not comfortable with, especially when that someone is glowering and growling at him."

She didn't reply, just sighing and rolling her eyes as she turned away to lay back down. As the violet hue of light left Virgil's body and his eyes went back to normal, everyone could tell that Patton had won the argument.
