3 Heroes and A Villian

Chapter 4

His head felt like a hoard of barbarians had just tried to beat him to death, so how it normally felt. Maybe that's why he didn't notice that he wasn't in his own bed as he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. 

"Wait, this isn't my place," Ann thought as he groggily got off of the couch he was laying on.

He crept into the kitchen, making sure not to make any noise when he heard a very familiar voice say, "I've dreamed of having you in my kitchen, but this was not what I had in mind,"

Ann scowled and asked, "How did I get here?" as he turned around and came face to face with Roman.

Roman cringed a little and answered, "Well after I punched you off of the roof last night me, Pat, and Lo decided to take you to our place and make sure you weren't dead,"

Ann paused, absorbing the words. He was confused by what Roman meant, punching him off of the roof? Prince did th-. "You're Prince," he whispered, completely shocked.

Roman gave a weak grin and replied, "Yeah, and you're Anxiety. Imagine how shocked we all were when we found out the hot barista was also the dude we fought on an almost nightly basis,"

Ann shrugged and said, "Well thanks, I'll be getting out of your hair then, and no more acts of evil. I pinky promise," as he tried to slip past Roman and leave.

Roman grabbed Ann's wrist and responded, "While I do appreciate the pinky promise, I think we need to talk with Lo and Pat before we decide anything,"

Ann looked at the clock. "Agreed, but I have to go home, get changed, and go to work, so maybe we can talk about this later," he replied.

Roman took a moment to think about it before telling him, "Ok, when do you get off of work? We'll come pick you up and talk about,"

"One, but it might take me a bit to get out," Ann answered while trying to figure out if there was a way of sneaking out the backdoor before they got there.

"It's a date," Roman said with a wink causing Ann to both want to kiss and punch.

He replied, "Don't call it that and could you let go of my wrist?" as he tried to pull away.

Roman's eyes widened and he answered, "Of course, but you know you might not mind it being a date," as he let go Ann's wrist, surprised that he held on to it for so long.

Ann smirked as he retorted, "You're right, but only if it was just with Patton and Logan," as he walked away.

"Cold," Roman whispered to himself with a smile as he tried to think of a way bring up adding a villain into their relationship without getting immediately shut down by them.
