Fall Days- Prinxiety

Hi! Fluff prompt #2: "You have something in your hair, do you want me to get it out?" with some more specifications from EscapedExperiment

"Roman, hurry up!" Virgil laughed as I sprinted to keep up. The four of us had decided to spend their day in the imagination, running free. It was well into December but Virgil wanted one last glorious day to remember his favorite season, fall. It was well within my power to grant, so why not? Patton dragged Logan by the hand, giggling as he stumbled to keep up. The pair was so mismatched and so utterly besotted with each other. It made me long for someone to have that kind of connection with.

"My God, you would think a prince could move faster, considering all the damsels you run to save." I hadn't noticed I had slowed to a stop until Virgil grabbed my arm and pulled me.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I scoffed but allowed myself to be pulled by this scrawny emo.

"This is my last day of fall for a whole year," He pointed at a large oak tree in the distance, its leaves a brilliant color. "And if you think we're not going to climb that tree, you're even stupider than I thought you were."

"Thought as in past tense?" I asked.

"Oh, come on!" He groaned and we ran through the fields towards the tree. Patton and Logan had run off in a different direction, but I was too taken in by this spectacle to care. It was rare to ever see Virgil genuinely excited about anything. This kind of joy made him into a completely different person.

We reached the base of the tree and Virgil started to wrap his hands around whatever branch he could reach. He pulled himself up and started to clamber up with such agility, I stood in shock for a moment. He paused and looked back down, smirking. "What are you waiting for, an engraved invitation? Haul ass and get up here!"

I rolled my eyes but followed him, shamefully slower. Ever the patient soul, he refused to wait up for me, bursting through branches and leaves like they were mere obstacles in his way. It took a few minutes before I found him in the maze of tree limbs. He sat at the very top of the trees, grinning ridiculously as the breeze brushed over his face. A few red and orange leaves stuck into his hair contrasted with his purple bangs. I found a solid arching branch and settled next to him.

"What?" I hadn't realized I was staring at him until he spoke, still gently teasing me with that smile. "What are you staring at?"

"You," I said with a shrug. The blush of his face put the leaves to shame. "You have something in your hair, do you want me to get it out?"

"Oh!" Virgil sighed. "Yeah, that would be nice of you."

I leaned over and began to pick leaves out of his hair, brushing my hand over his cheek and forehead. I slipped the leaves into my pocket as Virgil shook his hair out of any loose ends I might have missed. I laughed and combed the bangs back. He stared into my eyes and I was now conscious of how close I was and how easy it was to kiss that cute little smile right-

He kissed before I could even finish my thoughts. His hands were on the sides on my face and I pulled him closer by his waist. I was careful to counter each of his movements so we didn't topple down the tree. My tongue brushed against his lower lip and he opened up to me immediately, letting me take him even closer.

"Hey!" I heard Patton's voice yell from below. "What are you kids doing up there?" I pulled back and saw Patton and Logan on the ground, looking to see us.

"Oh, not much! Just taking in the view!" I yelled back, never taking my eyes from Virgil's gorgeous laugh.

"Roman?" Virgil called from the other room, sitting on my bed. "I promise it's all okay. It doesn't need to be super fancy."

"No, it's almost done!" I said. We had been dating for a few years at this point, the whole affair starting after that day of false fall. Those few leaves I had kept were pressed into an old book of fairy tales I had and now I had turned them into a nice little commemorative scrapbook for him. As far as anniversary gifts go, I thought I did well on it. I hid it behind my back and walked over to him.

"You ready?" I asked and he eagerly nodded. "Ta-da!" I showed him the book, filled with old memories.

"Oh Roman," The tone of his voice was so touched but his face was hiding some pain. "It's so beautiful."

"But?" I sighed and my face dropped.

"I don't want you to feel bad."

I looked back up, really confused. "Bad? About what?"

With trembling hands, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. I gasped but I couldn't feel any oxygen in my lungs as he opened it. A gold ring with a ruby embedded deep into it flashed in my vision and I clamped my hands over my mouth.

"I really love your gift, Roman." Virgil's voice was choked up. "It was so thoughtful and beautiful and-"

"Ask me."

"What?" Virgil asked, shaking his head.

"Ask me to marry you, you absolute git!" The tears were flowing over now as I managed to find the words.

"Roman, will you marry me?" Virgil was crying now too. I threw my arms around him and we fell back onto the bed. I pressed kisses all over his face as I laughed.

"Yes. Yes!" I kissed him and ran my fingers through his hair before pulling back. He took the box again and showed me the ring again. I hadn't initially noticed, but there was an engraving on the side. To perfect fall days and the memories we made.

He slipped the ring onto my finger as I smiled like an idiot. "No wonder you thought you would make me feel bad, how am I supposed to compete with this?"

"You don't have to, now." He rested his arms on my shoulder.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Princey."
