Sick Feelings

Only You

The fabric had vanished from his mouth but Anxiety still felt speechless with the humiliation of having been tricked; fooled so easily!

"She fooled everyone. I can see you blaming yourself Aaran. don't." Prince held Anxiety's shoulders lightly but firmly.

"Princey... those things she said you... am I a damsel to you?"

"Only in the sense i wanted to save you" Anxiety sighed

"So i was a damsel?"

"Beloved Anxiety do not put yourself through more than that dastardly villainess left you with" 

"Thanks Princey but I... did you call me beloved?" Prince looked down

"I believe I may have. Were you really attempting to gain my attention by means of my jealousy?" Anxiety bit his lip

"Roman, I'm an emotion, and i feel them and i - i can't lie about them i - i'd be lying if i said i didn't have feelings for you" Prince furrowed his brows

"Feelings?"

"Feelings which are... not exactly platonic. i'm Anxiety ok? i can't do anything except worry and fret and - and it stopped me from telling you and instead i got myself in this mess. i dragged you in too and i'm so sorry i was so stupid and if -" He was cut off by Prince's lips on his, surprise making his fists clench until Prince eased his fingers flat so they were holding hands. 

"I love you too. Remember the day you protected Thomas from a hoax date? I told you I would protect him until i faded. that it was my dream once to be as good a guardian as you? You told me to find a new dream... well i'm holding him right now" Anxiety smiled at the hidden Tangled reference, replying easily while leaning into the hold

"And you were mine" He joked "Do you do this with all your damsels?" Prince smiled and kissed his hand

"Only my love." He repeated needlessly but sweetly "Only you" The rest was said with a kiss.
