Frozen Lake

(Content warning: Vomiting, passing out, cold temperatures, being underwater)
(I don't know if a couple of those are needed, but I'm putting them there anyway)
(Remus is mentioned, so are Patton, Logan, and Virgil. Deceit and Roman are the main characters and this one has a bit of angst so-)
(Enjoy!)

Roman wasn't paying attention to where he put his feet, That's all that had happened. It was snowy, and they'd all unknowingly walked onto a frozen lake.
Deceit and Remus were there, but Remus had run off, saying something about building a giant snow dick before somehow disappearing in the clean white snow, so now it was Roman, Logan, Patton, Virgil, and Deceit.
The snake-faced side had hung back from the group, muttering to himself and shivering slightly. The coats provided were great, but Deceit was cold-blooded. The little adventure would be over soon anyways, even if it wasn't Deceit could slip away at any time and his disappearance would be celebrated, but he had an ominous feeling, something bad was going to happen, he just knew it... then it happened.

Roman made a grand gesture, hopping a little, his weight landing on one foot, there was a crack, then the ice shattered.
Virgil stared in shock, quickly starting to panic, Logan froze for a moment, and Patton cried out.
Deceit barely hesitated before throwing off his coat and looking around quickly, spotting a tree not to far away. Trees meant solid land. He pointed and barked out an order before turning to the hole and diving in with little to no hesitation, briefly seeing Virgil start scrambling towards the tree with Patton in tow and Logan trailing behind.

It hurt, but Deceit forced his eyes open, looking around quickly, spotting Roman who looked shocked.
He wasn't moving much, and his mouth hung open, the way his hair moved around his face...
Deceit dove for him, grabbing onto the prince's suit, pulling him closer then wrapping an arm around him scanning the above ice for a brighter patch, seeing one and swimming towards it, begging his muscles to keep him moving if for nothing but to get Roman out.

He beat at the thin layer of ice, breaking it quickly and forcing Roman up before him.
Deceit couldn't see much from below, but suddenly there were shadows and Roman was lifted out quickly.
Deceit pulled himself up, taking a deep breath, despite efforts to restrain himself. He had a hard time, but he did pull himself out of the water, managing to crawl a little away before collapsing on the snow.

(Vomiting, passing out, and more cold)
Everything was wrong, everything felt wrong, not just the painful cold, not just the heavy wetness of his clothes, everything.
His stomach was swirling and he gagged, managing to move his hand and shove some snow out of the way, picking himself up a little bit before wrenching.
The contents of his stomach emptied into the small hole in the snow.
His breathing was erratic, and as he scraped snow over the pit of mostly stomach acids and water, he realized how much he was shaking. His eyes were blurry as his throat, mouth, and nose burned, and everything else became colder and colder.
He moved back and collapsed once more, his vision quickly being taken over by black spots.
(Okay it's over)

At least Roman was okay...
