The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

10

It was only a few hours later that the sun made his appearance, making the prince slowly open his eyes, his beauty sleep interrupted by the sunlight.

With sleep still blurring his vision, he prompt himself up on one elbow, slightly rubbing his eyes and looking around.

"Good morning kiddo! How did you sleep?" Patton whispered as he quietly snacked on an apple.

Roman looked at him for a second, his eyebrow raised.

"Good morning padre, I slept well thank you, but why are you whispering?" He asked, but instead of receiving an answer, the cheery guy just pointed behind him, making him slowly turned around.

The prince's eyes widened as they landed on Logan and Virgil's sleeping figures; the nerd was cuddled up next to the dragon-witch, his arm loosely wrapped around him, Nyx's body circling both of them as she quietly observed him. He could see why Patton would find them cute and want to let them sleep more; what he did not understand though, was why a sudden and extremely strong rush of jealousy ran through his body, making him feel the urge to pull them apart.

Roman took a couple of breaths, trying to calm himself down. He could feel the dragon's eyes on him, looking at him curiously.

After a few minutes he finally felt calm enough and was about to turn around when his eyes once again landed on the two. In a sporadic and impulsive decision he got up and started stomping towards the two sleeping guys.

"Roman, what are you-?" Patton started, but before he could finish the question, Nyx's low and threatening growl interrupted him and made Roman freeze in his tracks.

"Roman, I'm not really sure, but I don't think she wants you to wake them up yet."

The prince just glared towards the dragon, looking at her right in the eyes. The staring contest went on for a good thirty seconds and the princely guy could tell the creature was studying him carefully to try and figure out his next move, her tail slowly swiping across the ground like a cat's.

Finally Roman smirked, breaking eye contact to move his gaze to the two sleeping figures.

"LOGAN!" He yelled after taking a big intake of breath making Patton jump and Nyx stare at him in surprise.

The nerd woke up with a startle, immediately sitting up, scaring Virgil in the process.

"What the hell is happening?!" Exclaimed Logan, his breath labored for the scare as his eyes wildly looked around to find the source of the danger.

No one answered and they all watched as Roman stared at Nyx smugly before sticking his tongue out childishly, making her roll her eyes and blow out some smoke from her nose.

"You better tell Prince High Pitch over there about the whole soulmate thing today."

Hearing this words, Virgil head immediately snapped towards the dragon, his eyes wide as she just looked at him with an unimpressed expression.

"What?! N-no I can't tell him! It'll scare him away or, even worse, weird him out and make the situation awkward."

Nyx scoffed and slightly shook her head.

"Weirded out? Awkward? Oh please that's already happening! Look at him: his poor little brain doesn't comprehend why he was so jealous when he saw you and Star-Nerd all cute and cuddled up! You have to tell him sooner or later!"

Virgil blushed, his eyes avoiding the dragon's amused gaze and falling on the prince who was now sitting near what was once a fire, a stick in his hand as he drew on the soil, a confused and thoughtful expression on his face.
