The Gay King

Chapter 13:The Aftermath

"I.. I just, I just didn't know what to do, so I panicked and lied." Remy vented to Emile that night about the whole encounter. "I watched them pay and leave almost immediately after, I heard what he said..." Remy stopped. "What'd he say..?" Emile asked.

-Flashback-

"No! He clearly doesn't wanna see or talk to me right now!! So just finnish eating so we can go back to the castle."  Remy heard Virgil say from the back.

—end of flashback—

"Castle...." Remy repeated what he heard. "Maybe you heard something else? Like he said something & you heard something else..?" Emile tried to lift Remy's spirit but that only made it worse. They heard something hit the window after a few moments of silence. Emile walked over to the window & opened it. "Oh you poor, poor, thing.." Emile said, carefully picking up the little dove. "There's a message, maybe it's from Virgil!" Remy said, full of hope. "Maybe...." Emile had a small idea of who it was from, & let me tell you, it wasn't Virgil. "Sorry this isn't from Virgil..." Emile said, reading the letter. "Oh...who's it from?" Remy asked.
"My mother." Emile opened the letter & read it aloud.
"Dear (ugh) amazing son of mine,
            I've sent this letter for one reason, the        question. Would you like to be the new ruler of the amazing aviva kingdom? I know Patton is technically supposed to be the ruler because he is older but you know he is too childish to rule an entire kingdom. We will be excited when you agree.
From, your loving mother queen Lavinia."  Emile finished reading. "She wants you to take over the kingdom?" Remy asked. "That's what the letter says." Emile answered "....will you?" Remy asked not wanting Emile to leave him to go on his adventure alone. "Fuck no!" Emile said, cringing at the idea of saying yes to his mother. Remy smiled then Patton walked in "Alright kiddos you guys ready to go?" He asked. "Go, where exactly?" Emile asked his brother "Well we need more stuff for the bakery so I was thinking we could go into town-" before Patton could finish Remy interrupted "Uhm can I stay here? If that's okay?"  He said "Yeah sure kiddo" Patton replied putting on his coat. "Uhm, is Logan coming too?" Emile asked. "Yes, why?" Patton responded. "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay as well." Emile said. "Why? I really wanted to show you around town.."  Patton looked disappointed that he couldn't go with his brother. "Patton, you have a kid." Emile said. "I know! You don't  think I've forgotten, have you?" Patton said. "Plus Logan is that type of parent, not me." Patton added. "HEY! THAT WAS ONE TIME AND I WAS IN A RUSH!" Logan yelled from downstairs. "Sooo your chances of forgetting her again are......infinitesimal?" Patton smirked. "ONE FUCKING TIME PATTON!" Logan yelled. Patton's expression changed so quickly, it was scary. "LOGAN SEYMORE SANDERS! WE HAVE A CHILD! OR DID YOU FORGET AGAIN!?" Patton yelled. Logan's face went white. Emile is used to this, & Remy has that 'what have you done' face. Remy then noticed that Emile wasn't fazed to the slightest."Emile, how are you not scared?" Remy asked Emile, clearly shocked. "I grew up with that." Emile pointed at Patton. "Oh! I'm sorry if I scared you a bit there, kiddo! LOGAN can be kind of forgetful sometimes." Patton said, still waiting for Logan's apology. They then see Logan in the doorway. "Sorry dear, I was occupied & wasn't thinking properly." Logan apologized. "I forgive you." Patton said, walkingsaid, walking over to Logan and kissing his cheek.  After that the two bakers walked out and left the building with Judith. "So what are we?" Remy asked. "I don't know, HUMANS?" Emile responded sarcastically. "I mean relationship wise like are we friends are we more?" Remy clarified blushing a bit. "Oh yeah, I have no idea." Emile responded , mentally slapping himself for not realizing what he meant sooner. Remy looked at the floor with a disappointed look on his face "Alright..." he said. "I mean.. Do you want to be more..?" Emile asked, blushing slightly. "Uh.. I... I don't know...maybe?" RemyOk said, blushing. Emile's eyes widened, he pulled Remy in by his shirt collar and kissed him. (How's THAT for a kissing scene?) Remy's eyes widened with surprise but they closed as he kissed back. Emile pulled away "I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that—" He tried to apologize but before he could Remy interrupted. "Shut up.." Remy said then kissed him AGAIN. Emile immediately kissed back & Emile thought to himself.
'This'll be fun.'
——in crofters kingdom——
Roman and Remus we're exploring the castle when Remus brought up something unexpected "Sooooo why the emo?" He asked. Roman obviously
surprised by the sudden question asked "What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Remus paused for a second then said "I'm your twin brother I know when you have a crush on someone." Remus said, not sugar-coating the facts. "I don't have a crush on him!" Roman replied, blushing. "'I dOn'T hAvE a CrUsH oN hIm!' Yes you do! I can sense it!" Remus exclaimed, mimicking him in the process. "You can't sense anything!" Roman yelled. "But we have a bond.." Remus mumbled, just barely loud enough for Roman to hear. "No Remus! We don't have a bond! That's just something mom made up to make you feel lucky!" Roman continued. "But-" Remus was cut off. "And if we did it would have been long gone!" Roman covered his mouth after processing what he said. "Why?"  Remus was genuinely intrigued now. "I-It's nothing Remus, leave it alone." Roman tried to leave the room. Remus grabbed his arm. "Why would it be 'long gone' Roman?!" Remus asked in a harsher tone. "You want to know why?!" Roman turned towards Remus. "Yes I do, and father said to always listen to the strongest in the room so listen!" Remus exclaimed. "If you're the strongest one, why were you so easy to curse!!" Roman broke free from Remus' grasp & ran out, slamming the door behind him, leaving Remus standing there in shock. Roman had just then realized what he said was the stupidest thing he could do in his entire fucking life and ran to Janus for help.
——Janus' POV——
Roman ran up to me with a look on his face that said he had done something incredibly stupid "What did you do?" I asked. "Hey so uhh hypothetical situation, let's say you were arguing with your brother and you accidentally admit that you cursed him. What do you do?" He said. I was shocked to say the least "I'm sorry I must have not heard you correctly, what?" I replied. Roman then says "I may or may not have accidentally admitted to cursing my brother..." Roman said, he looked like he regretted saying it afterwards. to say I was shocked was an understatement "And you think I can or would help you with this why??" I ask, raising an eyebrow. He honestly looked quite uncomfortable with the situation and I felt a tiny bit of pity for him. "I didn't expect you too.." He said, looking down and was about to leave the room. "Do....do you know the cure?" I asked, mentally slapping myself across the face for it. "I-uh- uhm..." Roman was stuttering non-stop. "You don't know, do you?" I said, getting up from the wooden chair at my candle-lit desk. I couldn't believe it but I was writing to my mother. Either way I was beginning to leave the room when He spoke (ugh). "Does this mean you'll help?" Roman said, his eyes were sparkling. "What do you think ?" I said, turning my head to look at him. "Yep, let's go!" Roman said, walking out of the room & in front of me. He was walking faster with each step he took & it was beginning to get harder & harder to keep up with him. I was trying to but ran into someone in the process & ended up losing him. "Ugh sorry, I wasn't watching where I was go-" I looked up and all I needed to see was that foolish smile to know who it was. "Janus! I haven't seen you in ages!" Romulus exclaimed. "I saw you at breakfast 2 hours ago." I replied. "But we haven't talked face to face in FOREVER!" Romulus was speaking like a child, but he was telling the truth. "I know.." I replied quickly, hoping to find Roman soon. "We should hang out sometime!" Romulus said. I looked at him with a shocked expression. "Uhh yEa," I paused and thought to myself. 'MY FUCKING VOICE IT FUCKING CRACKED GOD DAMMIT FUCKING BITCH!' Yea, basically just beating myself up. Also besides, it's not like anyone could read my mind!

....Right?
