"He could never like me in that way!"-Prinxiety Soulmate AU

Day 4 (four more days)

TW: cursing

Tell me if there's any more

Roman:
Ring! Ring! I groaned and slapped the snooze button.

~~

Ring! Ring! I pressed it again, five more minutes.

~~

Ring! Ring! I unplugged the whole alarm clock from the wall and fell back asleep.

~~
*9:38am*

I woke up slowly and yawned, stretching before checking my phone. SHIT IM LATE!!!! I jumped up and quickly got dressed before grabbing my bag and phone and running out the house. My parents were gone and at work as I could tell by their cars being gone Even Remus left me! I run out of the house and start sprinting to school as fast as I can. I get inside and grab my late slip before heading to class because I missed homeroom. I sit down next to Virgil and catch my breath from all the running.

"Where the hell have you been?" He asked, I can hear the concern in his voice.

"Missed my alarm." I said blandly.

"You're crazy." He chuckles.

"It was for a good cause." I defend.

"What cause?"

"You'll find out soon." I smiled and turned back to face the teacher.

It gets to lunch and I'm sitting right next to Virgil to protect him. He's holding onto my arm and his gaze keeps darting around the cafeteria and I can easily tell he's feeling anxious. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"I know it's not nothing, tell me what's wrong" I feel him cling tighter to my arm as I see Walter and a couple others walk in "Oh I see, don't worry at all okay? I'm not gonna let him hurt you" he nods and I smile at him. I really hope he loves the plan I have.

At the end of lunch, Patton pointed next to me and awed. I looked over and saw Virgil was asleep on my shoulder. I didn't wanna wake him up but we needed to get to class. Patton and Logan left so they were early. Okay I'm not waking him up. I see him move carefully into my lap and he instantly snuggled into me, cute. I guess I'll just sit here until he wakes up. I started humming along to a random song until I felt sort of a vibration. I looked down and he seemed fine. I stopped humming- is- is he purring? That's adorable- he's just like a cat now that I think of it. Which is perfect cause he told me that's his favorite animal.

Okay it's about an hour later and we've missed one and a half classes. He's still fast asleep and somehow still purring. "Hey Virge" I said quietly, tapping him gently. I felt him shift and saw his eyes start to slowly flutter open. He hummed and rubbed his eyes before they widened and he turned red. He looked away and I can only guess that he was embarrassed about falling asleep on me.

"It's okay, you're cute" I booped him on the nose and watched as his face became redder. He's really easy to fluster.

We both got up after a while and went to the last minutes of class before going home.

It's after school now and I've started on setting up the decorations at our campground hang out. All the decorations are purple and black which are his favorite colors and a few things are cat themed because of his favorite animal and the fact that he reminds me of a little kitten. I baked him a cake that was in my fridge back home and I had these Rainbow letters that said 'Happy Birthday Virgil' hanging in between two trees with balloons everywhere. After all the decorations were set up I had gone to the store to buy the black gel icing to write Virgil's name on the cake. I then headed back home when everything was done and I had just walked in the house....oh my god.

"REMUS NO-!" I yelled running over into the kitchen. He was eating the cake that I had made for Virgil.

"What? You can't bake a cake and not expect me to eat some."

"Remus that cake is for Virgil! His birthdays tomorrow and I wanted it to be special!" I whined.

"Ooooh~ who's Virgil? Does my little brother have a crush?"

"No he's just a friend and you're only 2 minutes older then me so stop calling me your little brother." Besides, Virgil could never like me in that way. I started getting out the ingredients to make another cake.

"Guess I'm not getting much sleep tonight either."

"No, I'll help you. And I'll stay up to take it out of the oven. I see how you decorated this one so I can do it for you."

"No it's okay Remus, I've got it. I want it to be completely from me anyway."

"Sorry about eating it though, maybe on this cake you should label it. Because Mom's just like me and she'll eat it if it's not labeled."

He chuckled and I nodded before watching him head upstairs.

I turned back to all the stuff and started to mix things together. Looks like it's gonna be awhile. I cannot be late again. I must be there on time for Virgil's birthday meaning I'll just mix this up as fast as I can, bake it and decorate it quickly but nicely because a Prince is never sloppy with his work. Especially if it's for his lov-FRIEND- friend. Yes I know what I said earlier with the whole "I'm gonna choose him because fuck soulmates" but I have to acknowledge that I could possibly love my soulmate more. It's unlikely but still possible. And I also have to acknowledge that he probably doesn't love me at all and will fall completely in love with his soulmate. But the way he slept in my lap earlier was just so adorable and peaceful. He's precious.

The cake is finally in the oven and I *might* have shut my eyes just for a few moments.....and might've accidentally passed out on the couch.

Remus:
I got up to get a midnight snack like I usually do seeing how I don't go to bed until around 1am so I walked into the kitchen and saw the oven on and smelled something burning. I opened it to see a completely burnt to a crisp cake. I looked over into the living room and saw Roman fast asleep. I know he said that he wanted it to be from him but if I just make the cake without decorating it. He can decorate it in the morning and I can just say that I took it out for him. Luckily the ingredients were all still out so I got right to mixing. There's not much left but it's just enough to have a third try at this cake. Romans lucky that I care for him otherwise I wouldn't be standing here trying to follow this recipe book on how to make this cake. Baking and just cooking in general is difficult for me. Especially when English is my second language and it's difficult to read sometimes. This bitch owes me.

I put the cake in the oven and to keep myself awake I pace back and forth around the kitchen. I eventually hear it ding as it's done and sigh of relief. I take it out with an oven mitt and set it on top of the stove before turning the oven off. I then right a big bold note to not eat it and that it's a birthday cake for someone and put it in front of the cake. I then even take a large clear bowl and place it upside down on top of both the note and cake so that no ants or flies can get to the cake. Once I'm finally done I don't even want a snack anymore and I go back upstairs, going into me and romans room and collapsing onto my bed, covering up with a blanket and going to sleep.

(It's finally here! Sorry for the long wait. School sucks and I know that's not an excuse but it's stressful with this whole corona thing going around. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this part. Bai~)
