The prince hugged him uncomfortably like he was a random person he just met. His roommate let go and grabbed his hand squeezing it tight. Virgil looked at the two and felt awkward… something definitely wasn't right. The expression of pure fear on the princes face was too much to bare. Virgil pushed his anxiety down and tried to stand tall.
"Thanks, you can leave now" his roommate said
"Um, Princey?"
"Yes?" He replied awkwardly
"Do you want me to leave?"
"Yes"
Although the prince said "yes" he was shaking his head "no" aggressively. Virgil may be an idiot, but wasn't that much of an idiot. He knew what the prince was trying to do.
"Uh, I think I'll stay a little longer"
"It's ok, you can leave" the roommate insisted
"I would prefer to stay" Virgil said, he had a strange sudden burst of determination
"How come?" His roommate asked, he raised an eyebrow and stood intimidatingly challenging Virgil's sudden burst of confidence
"He is in a vulnerable state"
"Pfft. He'll be fine I'll take care of him"
Virgil looked nervously over at the prince. He mouthed "don't leave please" and Virgil became as stubborn as a donkey. He. Was. Not. Leaving. Virgil stood a little taller as he said maybe the bravest thing he's ever said in his life.
"Frankly… I don't trust you"
"Why the f**k not? You don't have to trust me just get out of my house!" He said getting clearly pissed
"I don't want you hurting, uh, Princey"
"Don't call me Princey during serious talk time. My name is Roman"
"Ok then. I don't want you hurting Roman"
"Get. Out. Of. My. House. Now" he was really angry now
"No, I don't think I will"
"I'm just going to have to call the cops then. Ready to go to jail?"
"He's allowed to stay" Roman piped up
Roman twisted his wrist around trying to get his roommate to let go. His roommate let go and grumbled stomping back to his room and slamming the door shut.
"Are you ok?"
"thank you…"
"Are you ok though?"
Virgil took a few steps closer to Roman. Roman nodded and became teary eyed.
