Meaning Of A Purr (Sanders Sides - LAMP Fic)

Chapter 36: Celebration

Slightly shorter chapter that is pretty light-hearted, I think there is one mention of trauma somewhere in the dialog but other than that I'm pretty sure there are no trigger warnings. As always take care of yourself and thank you for reading!

"So what exactly is it you were so excited to gather us for?" Logan asked, a small smile on his face as he watched Roman practically dragging Patton down into the living room where Logan and Virgil were already waiting.

Roman had randomly burst into Logan's room earlier while he and Virgil were hanging out and had forced them downstairs. He hadn't actually told anyone why yet, but they all were certain it had something to do with the creative side wanting to go on a date.

"Well, I may have done a thing. In the imagination. So we can all do some normal boyfriend shiz," Roman said, smiling sheepishly.

"What do you mean? Is it not normal to be awkward around your boyfriends for nearly two weeks and then have to have a serious conversation about trauma and coping with them?" Virgil asked teasingly as he leaned against the wall.

"Well more so that we all had a pretty tense day yesterday but now we are all talking again so I thought it might be a good way to celebrate," Roman replied, pouting slightly.

"That's so sweet of you Roman, I'm sure that whatever you have planned will be a perfect way to relax and have fun," Patton chirped cheerfully.

"But I must ask, what exactly is this 'thing' you did?" Logan added with a raised brow.

Roman pulled the downstairs portal door open glancing around the wood towards the others.

"Wanna see?" He asked, his lips curling into a giddy smile.

"Alright, let's see how you tried to top yourself today," Virgil chuckled, stepping through the glowing portal, the other three following close behind.

Virgil blinked in the bright sunlight, immediately bringing his hand up to shield his eyes. He could never understand why Roman enjoyed keeping his realm so bright. Not that it wasn't pleasant after the initial shock of it. Virgil allowed himself to look out from under his hand and find himself and the others standing just outside of the village surrounding Roman's castle, bright colored pennants hung from the houses over top of the roads. The sound of lively music could be heard in the near distance being carried on the warm breeze.

"What's all of this abou- what the hell are you wearing? Wait what am I wearing? Roman!" Virgil gaped in surprise.

Instead of the normal outfits they had been wearing before stepping through the portal they had all changed clothing, presumably because of Roman's imagination magic. Virgil found himself wearing a thick cotton, dark purple shirt that would have been boxy in shape if it were not for the thin strap of leather tied around his waist. The top of his shirt had a black angular collar that led up into a hood. The shirt fell about halfway down his thighs and beneath that he wore simple black leggings and boots. Patton's outfit was a baggy white shirt that's sleeves and tightened around the wrists. The collar had a frill which poofed out over the top of the pale blue gray colored vest, which was pinned closed by a series of silver buttons. Like Virgil he wore leggings and boots that were but were more muted and gray in color. Despite Patton and Virgil's clothing being made of fine material and having a noticeable regal look, it seemed Roman had gone a bit overboard with Logan's outfit. Logan wore a dark blue almost black button up overshirt with three-quarter sleeves and silver accents. Beneath the over shirt was a white shirt, identical to Patton's beyond the fact the sleeves were cinched around the wrists by a black band. Over his shoulders was a short royal blue cape that fell down to lower back, the edges lined with intricate silver embroidery. His slate pants were less form fitting than the other two's and were poofed up around the thigh high boots he wore. Roman himself had also gone for a more intricate look, abandoning his usual princy look for something as equally regal. He wore a long burgundy tailcoat with a tall collar and golden accents over a fancy button down black top. Peeking out through his wavy brown hair was a golden circlet proudly displaying his royal title.
