"Wait! Stop!" Roman yelled after him, chasing the young man back into the castle. People turned their heads toward the prince as soon as he entered. "Wait!" he called again, weaving through people. The crowd quickly made a path for him and he spotted a flash of black and purple. "Stop!" Finally the crowd realized who he was chasing and they backed away, paving a direct path from Roman to Virgil. The emo realized and looked behind him, seeing Roman, and sprinted faster towards the exit. Roman followed him, calling out and clutching the black glove hard in his fist.
The prince chased Virgil through the front door and down the stairs to the gate. The security guards, tired and confused, looked up at them. "Stop him!" Roman yelled at them. Quickly, the guards shot to their feet and lunged at Virgil, but he was too fast and evaded all of them. "We're sorry, your highness!" they apologized. Roman just sighed and watched as the mysterious, handsome young man ran along the sidewalk and into the parking lot.
Roman could no longer follow him, the pile of fallen guards was a roadblock. Finally, Virgil disappeared around a corner.
Who was he?
----
Virgil panted and huffed, tired from running. The house he, Remus, and Janus shared wasn't very big, but it was as welcoming as could be to Virgil as he entered it. His mind was racing a million miles per second.
Why did I run from him? I don't know, I panicked! I should go back and apologize. No, how could I ever face him now? I just ran from a prince, and not any prince, PRINCE ROMAN! Virgil groaned into the pillow, now sitting on the couch. Why did I have to kiss him? Or did he kiss me? Virgil looked up. Was that me? Was that him? Did a prince really kiss me? ... and kiss me... and kiss me? And did I kiss him back? He facepalmed. Now was not the time for Into the Woods references, even if they were unintentional.
What should I do? Virgil chewed on his thumb nail. What if I do... nothing? I mean, he'll probably forget about the whole thing anyway. He couldn't care that much, he's probably kissed tons of boys before. This will just be a common occurrence, he'll forget about it, and life will go back to normal. His heart ached at the thought the prince would forget, but he dismissed it. Of course he wouldn't care that much. He can't find me anyways. It's not like he'd scour the entire kingdom for me. Virgil chuckled.
Boy was he wrong.
