The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

16

"Logan! Look at the sky!" Remus exclaimed pointing his arm towards it, making his boyfriend open his eyes; they were laying in the grass next to each other, looking up at the sky. "It looks like someone tried to use an almost empty bottle of mayo and squirted it all over a black canvas! Isn't it beautiful?"

Roman stared at them, slightly weirded out by the weird guy's comment, and even more by the way his nerdy friend just nodded, looking at him with love filled eyes.

Logan had never been someone particularly romantic, or emotional for that matter; but as much as he tried to hide it, the prince knew that even he wanted to experience real love. That's why he was so surprised when he saw him give in so easily to the idea of being someone's soulmate; it was such an illogical thing to do for someone as down to earth as he was.

The prince huffed turning back around and letting his gaze get lost in the dark woods. He felt like shit for the way he treated Virgil, but he did not regret it. As much as he had always dreamed to find his so called "soulmate", that was not what he wanted. He wanted real love. Not this.

On the other side of the clearing, the dragon witch slowly opened his eyes, groaning softly at the headache his crying session left him with.

"Are you feeling how you look? Because if so I'm sorry, you look like shit." Nyx said jokingly through the mind link, her lips contorting in some kind of gentle smirk as she tried to lighten the situation.

Her smile quickly fell though when she saw Virgil just nod slightly, his eyes avoiding hers. Lifting her head from his lap, the dragon softly licked the dragon witch's cheek, pushing her snout against it afterwards.

"Hey. Don't let the Royal Dick get to you. He's not worth it. As I told you when we met him, you can live without him. You don't need no man."

The chuckled sadly at that, leaning back against his best friend's warm body, still not saying anything and looking up at the sky.

After a few minutes Patton's small laugh draw his attention, making him peak from behind Nyx to see the reason of his laughter; the cheery guy was giggling as Diego, Janus' daimon, was gently snuggling his neck, tickling him gently every time his tongue flicked out. With a big smile on his face, the small guy raised his hand, running it over the snake's smooth skin.

It was then that Janus, who up until that moment had been sitting by the fire, glaring slightly at the duo as he spoke to Remy, sprang to his feet.

"Don't touch him." He said suddenly, making Patton immediately jump and take his hands away from the daimon. His voice had been low and angry, but the cheery guy immediately noticed the scared look in his eyes as he quickly approached him.

Virgil's eyes widened when he saw Diego immediately raise taller from Patton's shoulders, hissing at his owner who immediately stopped and took a small step back, surprised and hurt. Apparently he was not the only one having trouble with his soulmate.

"Diego! You shouldn't hiss at him! He's your best friend!" Patton scolded, his voice stern but soft. He had to fight back a smile when the snake turned back to him wide eyed looking as if he wanted to protest. "And no, don't look at me like that. I don't care if you were standing up for me, you should say sorry."

Janus watched with wide eyes as his own daimon looked at a boy he had for not even a day, hissing gently as if to complain about the request.

"Diego." Patton said warningly, making the snake look down grumpily as he slithered towards his owner.

The man just stayed still, as he watched the small man in front of him smile as his daimon went up to him, climbing on his leg and curling around his neck hugging him gently. He observed surprised as Patton shot him a sweet smile, as if he didn't just glared at him for the whole night and yelled at him to not touch his daimon. Still, he quickly covered his surprise, and shot a glare towards the guy, slowly making his smile disappear.
