It had happened often enough that Virgil was used to Roman coming home with scrapes and bruises plastered across his body. Roman loved adventures and fighting evil entities, and when he comes home he claims that he did it all in the name of protecting the love of his life, Virgil.

Virgil acts like he's annoyed with his boyfriend's claims, but in reality he knows that Roman notices that faint blush that appears on his cheeks.

Secretly, though, Roman does it just so that he can spend a few hours with his lovely boyfriend. Sometimes he intentionally gets himself hurt so that he can spend even more time in that almost daily ritual.

Today was no different. Virgil was currently lounging on the couch in the commons room, alone. Logan and Patton had gone to bed early due to them having a pretty hectic and busy day. Let's just say, they had to help Thomas make an excessive amount of moral and logical decisions today, which sometimes ended in mild arguments between the two.

As Virgil was about to reblog a piece of My Chemical Romance fan-art to his Tumblr blog, he heard Roman come barrelling through the front door and stumble his way into the living room, startling the poor emo in the process.

"Hey Virge!!" Roman smiled extravagantly all while panting heavily in an attempt to catch his breath. Virgil stared at him with wide eyes, and then took in Roman's appearance.

He had blood running down his cheeks and dangerously close to his eyes, part of his lip was busted open and his princely attire was covered in thick, dark red blood splatters. Although Virgil was used to this, he still gasped in shock and worry for his boyfriend.

"Roman! Oh my god love are you okay??" Virgil asked frantically as he leaped off the couch and delicately grabbed onto Roman's shoulders. To which Roman responded with a slightly smaller smile than before.

"I'm great, babe, why?" It seemed as though he was unfazed by the potentially fatal injuries that he had inflicted upon him. Seriously, every time Roman goes out he could die from the Dragon Witch or something. Anything could happen.

"Well you have blood running down your body at an alarming rate, so I'd think you would be in a lot of pain right now," Virgil quipped. "Not 'I'm great', that's just insane."

Roman bit his lip and cringed at the iron taste in his mouth from the red liquid, but gave a soft, lighthearted laugh. "I had to protect my kingdom!" He retorted.

Virgil sighed and shook his head, although the corners of his mouth were threatening to form a smile. "You're an idiot, but you're my idiot." He gently lowered Roman to the carpeted floor and sat down beside him, shuffling to cross his legs and conjured up a first aid kit.

Virgil sighed once more and clicked open the container, pulling out some hydrogen peroxide, pouring it onto a tissue and dabbing it onto the wounds on Roman's face. Roman hissed slightly at the contact, to which Virgil sent him a sympathetic look.

"Sorry, Ro," he stated. "But I don't want them to become infected. Can't have you turning into a zombie." He smiled lightly heard Roman laugh softly at his joke.

"Roman, how am I supposed to kiss you now?!" Virgil joked as he reached Roman's busted lip, which was sensitive around the deep wound there.

"Aww, can't go two minutes without kissing me, Virge?" Roman teased. "Are my lips really that nice?"

"Shut up, Mister Exhibitionist." The emo replied as he turned around to shuffle around the first aid kit, pulling out some gauze pads and bandages, carefully and skillfully placing them over each wound except the one on his lip.

After a few moments, he lifted Roman's arm and pulled his sleeve up to his shoulder, only to reveal more injuries there. He saw bruises scattered all over the appendage, as well as more dried blood. He sighed and shook his head once again, disinfecting each wound.

"Roman, I know that you're a prince and that you have a kingdom to protect and all, but come on, can't you stand to take it easy every once in a while?" Virgil questioned as he started to wrap Roman's lower arm up in bandage tape. "I mean, you could die, ya know? And what would I do if you died?"

"Probably become anxious," Roman gave a sly smirk. "But also if I did take it easy every once in a while, then I wouldn't get to have moments like these, my darling storm," he smiled lovingly. "Because I love you, so so much."

"Well, if you love me then you'd stop getting yourself into these types of dangerous situations." Virgil mumbled, finishing off the wrapping on Roman's arm and crawled to Roman's other side, switching to his other arm. Roman pouted and Virgil chuckled.

"I'm only joking," He reassured. "But seriously, next time please try to take it easy, just once, for me."

Roman nodded. "Of course, Virge."

A couple hours later, Virgil finally finished cleaning up and bandaging up his adventurous boyfriend. He gently patted Roman's shoulder as he placed the final bandage on his back.

"There you go, all better." He informed his boyfriend as he scooted back over to his initial place on the floor, packing up the first aid kit and throwing it somewhere in the room.

"Thanks, love." Roman smiled and weakly reached over, grabbing Virgil and pulling him into a gentle hug. Virgil didn't hesitate to hug back in a comforting embrace.

"You're welcome, Ro." Virgil whispered into his chest, being careful not to irritate any of Roman's injuries there. Roman giggles from above him and kissed Virgil's hair, wincing at the pain that shot through his lips. Virgil sighed contently and leaned into Roman's grip, relaxing into his warm arms and rubbing his back soothingly.

"Should we go to bed now, my dear dark prince?" Roman asked gently. Virgil nodded and yawned tiredly.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted." Virgil replied as he started to move off of Roman.

"Try fighting a Dragon Witch." Roman quipped as he slowly tried to lift himself off of the floor, stiff from all of the events today and the marks they made on him. Every move he made caused one of them to sting and make him hiss in irritation.

"Oh be quiet and just come to bed with me, you need it." Virgil held out his hand which Roman gladly accepted, slowly standing up as Virgil lifted him and swung an arm around his abdomen, steadying him.

"I love you, my dark and stormy prince."

"I love you too, my knight in shining armour."
