The Last Of the Dragon Witches (Prinxiety)

"For what it's worth kiddo, Roman too was just acting like a... like a b-hole today."

As soon as he heard his name Roman started listening in on the conversation; had he really acted that bad? The prince observed as a firefly landed on a grass strand right next to where he was laying with his back to others. He had to admit he might have had slightly exaggerated, but could anyone really blame him? Finding his soulmate had always been his number one dream, but he did not wish to find him like this, not when it was di-

"Maybe he just doesn't feel the same. I mean, I wouldn't blame him. Who would want to be with a guy who hid in the woods for almost his whole life and has a dragon as his best friend? I wouldn't like me eith- OW! Was that really necessary Nyx?!"

After hearing those words, Roman's eyes were wide open in surprise; did Virgil really think those things about himself? His heart ached at the thought as he felt guilt build up inside him. That was not the reason behind his actions, he really did like the Dragon Witch, and not only for the way his slightly long black hair fell on his face framing it perfectly, or the way his brown, slightly violet eyes shined every time he would make a snarky or sarcastic comment, or even more the way his smile brightened up his whole face; he liked him also for how soft, caring and funny he was. Roman did like Virgil. But what if he only liked him because of the bond? That is not what he wanted, that's-

He shook his head, eyes screwed shut, as he tried his best to get those thoughts out of his head. He would have thought about it in the morning, when his mind would have been clearer and he would have been more awake.

"Good morning!" Patton exclaimed handing the still half asleep dragon witch an apple as he sat down next to him, Diego tightly wrapped around his shoulders and his back leaned back against Nyx's warm body.

"Good morning pat" Virgil mumbled as he watched his dragon leave a lick on the man's cheek immediately receiving a loud hiss from the snake wrapped around the man's shoulders.

"Diego!" Patton gasped looking at him sternly. The daimon immediately stopped, looking at him with wide seemingly innocent eyes. "Don't hiss at her! She is my friend too!"

The snake looked down guiltily, making the dragon chuckle slightly. He immediately turned around once again hissing at her and snuggling in Patton's neck, trying to prove a point.

"Diego what did I just tell you! No hissing! She is my friend too and I want you to be nice to her!" He once again reproached him, pushing him away slightly.

"Yeah, hiss hiss bitch, Patton is my boo." Nyx teased sassily, gently going to rub her nose on Patton's cheek, making the snake even more jealous as he tried to push her away with his body and failing.

"Nyx stop teasing him or I'll make you answer any other question Logan might have." Virgil threatened teasingly out loud, making the dragon immediately retreat from the now giggling guy with an almost panicked expression.

"Just so you know, I take great offense to that." The nerd said passing by, making even the dragon witch crack a small smile despite his situation. "Also, you might want to get ready, we're all leaving in a couple of minutes. Ray and the others are coming with us too."

"Okay, thank you Logan!" Patton said smiling as he got up and threw another apple he had towards Nyx.

"Okay Patt." Virgil sighed pushing himself off of his dragon and turning towards her. "It's better if you head towards the others. I'm gonna get on Nyx and follow you from the sky. As I was talking to Remy yesterday, he told me they know where the kingdom is and can guide you just as well as I do, so I can make myself and Nyx invisible."
