Sander's Sides One Shots

18- Prinxiety

I got this idea for a tik tok I watched, but I have no idea who it was by, so I put the song it was set to here. I hope it's ok!

“You have to tell him!”

“I don’t have to tell anyone anything, Deceit.”

“Roman, he isn’t going to know how you feel unless you tell him. “

“I know that! It’s just- there’s so many What Ifs. What if he rejects me? When if he hates me? What if he tells everyone and they laugh at me? What if he does like me but a relationship doesn’t work out? There are too many things that could go wrong. I’m not going to tell Virgil-”

“Tell me what?” I’m cut off by Virgil coming down the stairs, dressed in purple and black, and adorable as usual. I glance frantically between Virgil and Deceit, who just shrugs.

“Its nothing,” Good Roman, play it off. Nothing to see here.

“Its clearly something and you are going to tell me right now.”

“Really,” What do I say???? “We were just joking around.”

“Did you break my headphones? Because I swear if you did…”

“No! I would never! I know how much those mean to you. Really, the two of us were just joking around, nothing to worry about.”

“Do you know me?” Virgil laughs, and I try to join in. I can finally relax as my anxious friend settles onto the sofa.

As he sits, I am suddenly overwhelmed by his eyes. The way the light reflects off of them makes them look like a pool of gold, deep and beautiful. I wish I could dive into them and never come out. I wish I knew what was going on in that head of his…

“Are you ok?” Virgil’s question bring me back to reality, and I see that he is worried again.

“Of course, JDelightful! I’m always doing fabulously! I’m a prince for goodness sake!”

“Well yeah, but you were kinda staring into space. Right…” He gestures to an area right next to his head, “here.”

“Oh yes! I just got distracted planning Thomas’s next video. Go back to your Tumblr scrolling.”

I am telling myself how wonderful a job I did at hiding my feelings when Deceit whispers to me. Sweet Shirly Temple, I forgot he was here.

“Roman you need to tell him already.”

“Absolutely not!”

“You tell him or I will.” I am hit with a wall of panic at Dee’s threat. I can’t tell Virgil, but he’s going to be told either way. I stare hopefully at Deceit, but he shakes his head. Suddenly, I’m not in control of myself anymore. I can feel my mouth open, and words I don’t mean to speak start spilling out.

“Virgil?”

“Yes…?”

“I do need to tell you something,” I try desperately to cover my mouth with my hand, but my other hand stops me, “I…” I must look crazy to Virge, “I love you,” DEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING, “I’ve loved you for a long time, but I never had the courage to tell you.”

Virgil looks likes he’s seen a ghost, and his jaw is practically (perfect in every way) touching the ground.

“In fact,” oh my Mary Poppins Deceit is still going, “This is Deceit right now making me say all of this because I am still terrified of how you will take this.” Jeez Dee, a bit too honest.

Virgil is still staring at me, and I take that as my cue to leave the room.

--

Virgil finds me in my bedroom, and I reluctantly lt him in. He sits softly on my bed, then starts talking.

“So… that was interesting,” he pauses, “is there anything you want to tell me? Yourself?”

“Its all true,” I shoot back bitterly, “so you are totally welcome to think of me like a pathetic loser now.”

“Why in the world would I do that?” Virgil starts to laugh but stops when he sees my face.

“Because I couldn’t even confess to you on my own. I had to have that… that reptilian rapscallion take over my body to be able to tell you.

“So? Everything you said was still what you were thinking, Dee just helped you admit the truth.”

“Everything?” I flinch, remembering the way Deceit phrased my crush on Virgil. Love.

“I’d say so…” Virgil seems to have remembered a well, and we both stare awkwardly at each other.

“Well, I suppose if everything was the truth, I may as well say it myself. Virgil… I-I love you. Through all of our arguments and fights, I have loved you. And I hope you feel the same about me.” I look away, my face burning. I am fully prepared to make another run for it when I feel a pair on hands on my face, lifting it up. The first thing I see are his beautiful golden eyes, and then a pair of lips are brushing against mine. I move forward, and our lips touch, electricity exploding between us. We kiss until we need air, and then stare at each other. His face is covered in a goofy grin, and I’m sure I am a mirror of his expression. I lean in for another kiss, but before I do, I hear a certain snakes chuckle from the doorway.

I hope it was ok? Also I know we now know Deceits name, I just wanted to call him Dee.
