The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

24

"Wait..." Remus' voice came in a whisper, stopping Logan dead in his tracks as the other started to walk towards the walls.

When he turned to look at him, the usually loud and chaotic man was staring at his feet, wringing his hands, his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Remus took a deep breath, before looking off to the side, "I'll wait for you guys here."

His voice was more confident now, his back a bit straighter as he ignored Logan's confused and concerned eyes.

"What are you talking about?" He asked, taking a step towards his boyfriend.

"I just don't think is a good idea for me to come with you."

"Why? I don't understand, did... did something happen?" A pause, then stepping even closer, "Did I-"

"No." Remus immediately stopped him, "Don't you dare finish that sentence. This has nothing to do with you, I just... Humans don't like me okay?" He said exasperated before scrolling his shoulders and looking down, "And I don't like them, so yeah. Not a good idea."

"And?" Logan asked, not skipping a bit; the rat man stared at him for a few seconds, the confused look on his face made the man sigh and roll his eyes, "So what if humans don't like you? I like you and I want you by my side." He shrugged, "I don't care what anyone thinks of it. Plus, I'm not really fond of people either, most of them are... intellectually challenged." He concluded scrunching his nose a little and finally looking up to Remus.

His boyfriend was smiling happily at him, one of his hands scratching Brando's ears absently as the Opossum purred loudly.

"So..." He started sheepishly, a rosy blush coating his cheeks, "you're-you're not ashamed of me?"

Logan's eyes widened in surprise, "Ashamed? No! Why would I ever be ashamed of you?"

Remus shrugged, looking down, "Like I said, humans don't like me."

The nerd balled his fists for a second, before taking a step forward and going on his tippy-toes to leave a chaste kiss on the other's lips, "Well I like you and that's all that matters okay?" He asked, chuckling cutely as Brando quickly scurried on his shoulder and nuzzled his nose into his neck.

A rustle of bushes caught their attention, making the both of them freeze on the spot as they waited for something to happen.

They slowly relaxed as nothing did, looking back towards the others who were almost already at the gate.

"We should go, or the others will enter the kingdom without us." Logan said, smiling as the other nodded.

"Yeah let's-" Remus stopped abruptly, turning sharply towards the vegetation behind them and narrowing his eyes; Brando immediately climbed down Logan's shoulder and scurried to his side, growling lowly, causing the nerd to go on alert.

"What? What's wrong?" He asked alarmed, scrutinizing the vegetation to try and spot a threat.

For a moment Remus did not answer, he just stayed still, glaring at the trees, before slowly turning away, his eyes the last ones to leave the vegetation.

"Nothing. The light must be playing tricks on me." He said, his voice low; he didn't seem all that convinced, "Let's go."

He grabbed Logan's arm, not waiting for him to answer and quickly dragged him to where the others were standing waiting for them, making the nerd stumble behind him.

"About time! What took you so long?" Roman asked rolling his eyes and gesturing with his hands.

"You sure you wanna know your majesty?" Remus asked suggestively rising and lowering his eyebrows a couple of times, making his boyfriend blush and royal pale in horror.

"Don't you dare even insinuate something like that ever again!" He exclaimed dramatically, fake gagging and making everyone laugh.

Remus got closer to him, elbowing him in the side and snickering, "Oh come on, don't tell me it's not something you wanna do with the emo!"

Both Roman and Virgil blushed madly, avoiding each other's eyes.

"I'm starting to like this one." Nyx said through the mind link, making Virgil scowl.

"Shut up and go hide before I decide to change best friend."

The dragon just scoffed before telling Virgil she would go hide in the woods and to send an alarm if anything happens.

"Okay babes, let's go, I'm getting bored of staying here, I wanna see the castle." Remy interrupted scuffing and looking at his nails in boredom.

Roman looked the guy up and down for a second, his eyes falling on the panther sitting by his side, only then realizing the only problem.

"Shouldn't your guys' daimons go hide in the woods with Nyx?" He asked, raising an eyebrow as Remy just laughed.

"Babe, we're walking in there with you, the prince, I'm pretty sure if anyone has anything to say about my sweet girl you'll be able to shut them up."

Roman just made a face, "Fair enough." He said before taking Virgil hand and starting to walk to the guards, everyone following behind them.

The two large men guarding the gate shot them a cautious look, before their eyes widened as the recognized the prince.

One of them immediately scurried off to the palace, while the other greeted the royal and eyed everyone else with badly hidden suspect.

"They're with me, Joan." Roman intervened calmly, though an aura of protectiveness was clear in his eyes as he took a small step forward so that Virgil was slightly behind her.

The guard nodded, stepping aside to let them pass through.

They didn't even manage to take five steps into the kingdom, before someone crashed into Remy making the both of them fall to the ground and Kiera growl immediately.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" The stranger immediately asked.

The usually sassy and over the top guy, though, didn't seem to be able to find the words to answer them. He thought he understood now what people meant when they said their world got turned upside down.

I won't lie, i hate how this turned out, but this chapter has been in the work for a week and a half and writing it felt like i was giving birth. 

what i'm trying to say is sorry if this is short and shitty, i have no idea how to get to where i actually want to.

anyway, as always feel free to point out any mistakes/typos and tell me what you think of the chapter!

Later babes!
