Virgil was on earth, on his way to Visit his friend Remy in his cottage in the woods. He hears a horse coming and tries to jump out of the way, but trips and falls. The rider of the horse pulls on the reigns, stopping in front of him. Virgil looks at the rider. He's tall and has light brown flawless skin, judging by his good looks and pointy ears, he's elvish. He also appears to be rich, as he's well groomed and has fancy clothes. The rider gets off his horse and offers a hand to help him.
"gods, I almost ran over you! You should be more careful." the beautiful stranger said.
Virgil smacks his hand away and gets to his feet on his own.
"yeah? well I wasn't expecting someone on a horse in the middle of the woods, especially since we're far from any paths or roads." Virgil snaps

The rider shrugs and looks Virgil up and down. He takes in the light grey skin, floppy pointy ears, the hair that covers his eyes (though there's a glimpse of purple behind it), the little horns poking from the top of his head, and the tail swinging back and forth behind him. He had quite nice clothes, though they were a bit dirty, and despite being an odd looking little thing he was quite cute and already strangely endearing. The elvish stranger holds out his hand.
"I'm prince Roman, by the way. I live in the nearest kingdom." he says
"Virgil." Virgil says, ignoring the outstretched hand.
"Virgil... Like the poet?"
"Y-yeah. I was named after him. He's pretty popular back in hell."
"Virgil from hell... Isn't your prince named Virgil?"

Virgil panics for a moment, surprised that he had made that connection. Only Remy knew that he was a prince, though the royal youth was educated a bit on the other kingdoms, in case an alliance needs to be made or a war needs to be fought in the future.
"U-uhm... Y-yeah. That's m-me..." Virgil stammers
"Ah. A fellow prince." Roman smiles. "I'm on the way to meet with my sister and her ...boy toy, of sorts... in an abandoned cottage we found in the woods as kids. We meet there to talk about the kingdom and well... to get away from our parents. Would you like to come?"
Virgil thinks for a moment. It could be a trap, but he could easily fight off a couple of elves. He hadn't told Remy he was coming over either, so he wouldn't miss him.

after thinking for a while, Virgil decides to join Roman.
"Sure." he says.
"Great!" Roman exclaims.
Roman gets on the horse and helps Virgil climb on behind him.
"wrap your arms around me." Roman says
"Uhm.. I'd rather not. If I touch you I may never get the elf scent off." Virgil replies.
"then you'll fall off."
"I doubt that"
"I garentee it"
"I'll be fine."
"Trust me, it hurts. I've broken ribs falling off a running horse"
"..."
"please?"
"fine."

Virgil wraps his arms around Romans middle, quite loosely, but once the horse starts running he squeals and clings tighter, burying his face in Romans back. Roman blushes ever so slightly and chuckles. This was too cute. 
"What? Never ridden a horse before?" Roman says while laughing.
"U-us demons don't really use them!" Virgil claims. His breathing is a bit fast and he's not really enjoying it.
"Then how do you get around?" Roman asks
"Mostly teleportation, occasionally foot, very rarely we'll use a carriage."
"how odd." 
"Not when you've grown up around it"
"fair"

after a while the arrived at the cottage.  Roman puts his hands around Virgil's waist and lifts him off the horse. Virgil blushes.
"I could've gotten off by myself." Virgil says, pouting.
"Yeah, probably." Roman said
"Then why'd you do that?"
"I guess you're just so cute I couldn't resist putting my hands on you~" 
Virgil's face goes red. He shoves Roman off of him.
"Get off of me, Princey." 

Roman chuckles.
"Alright, fine. I was just joking around." Roman says
"Well it's not funny." Virgil says
"I was serious about you being cute though." Roman winks. Virgil blushes again and looks away.
"I am not cute."
"You are too"
"No I'm not"
"Yeah you are"
"I'm a demon. Demons aren't supposed to be cute. We're evil and we cause pain and suffering."

Roman shrugs and walks into the cottage. Virgil follows.
