Can't this be 'happily ever after'?

Patton's POV

Ugh, which tent is Logan in? He's part of the Logical part of town so he must be here somewhere. I knock on the next tent.

"Prince Patton, hello, what're you doing here?" a young man asks me. He is wearing a pink t-shirt with a star on it and he doesn't look like he belongs here. He looks too young, too innocent.
"Oh- uh, I'm just trying to find someone. You look too young to be here..."
"Oh... uhm. I'm thirteen."
"What?!" I sputter, "why are you here? You deserve a life!!"
"Thanks, Prince... uh... I- I want to serve our kingdom. Don't worry about me."
"Please go home, I don't want you to get hurt."
"I want to stay, I need us to win, I don't want my sibling Joan to die!"
"Kiddo, he's going to be okay with us. Please, you had to be over 15 to get in, how did you get in?"

"Uh..."
"Thomas? What the Hell? How did you get here?" someone explodes from behind me. "I told you to stay home! You need to be safe! What the Hell!?"
"J-Joan, I want to help." The person I assume is Joan picks up Thomas and hold him tightly, crying.
"You can't, bud. You're too young. Go help mum for me okay? I'm gonna be okay."

I decide to let them talk privately and head off to find Logan again.
"Where would he be?" I mutter under my breath. I start to head to the outskirts of the camp. I spot someone in the wood nearby. He's Logan's height so I jog over. "Logan?" I call out. The person turns around.

"Who?"
"Oh sorry, I was looking for someone."
"Oh... what was his name?" this man seems nice. He looks a bit older than me, taller. He has a bandage over one side of his face and his eyes are shining yellow. That's odd, I've never met anyone with yellow eyes. He could be a darkside. I shake off the unwanted thought.

"Logan."
"Logan..." he ponders for a while, "what does he look like?"
"Yay high, chocolate eyes, brown hair, he was probably wearing dark blue."

"Oh, him. Yeah, he was running through the woods before. Don't know why? He went that way." The guy points left, his yellow gloves squeak. I laugh at the sound.
I raises an eyebrow. "Do you want me to come? It's getting dark and you look young."
"Uh... okay..." I think he's a darkside, but he looks like a good person. This could easily be a trap, but I don't care, I just want to see Logan. "I'm Patton."

I smile at him.
"Janus. You Prince Patton?"
"Yuhuh, that's me. It's not great being a prince."
"I'm a prince too. Prince Janus, from the Dark Kingdom."
"Oh!" I say, backing away slightly. I've heard he is extremely dangerous.
"Don't be scared of me, I'm not going to hurt you."
"U-uh okay... How do I know this isn't trap...?"
"Trust me, you're too cute to harm." I frown, I think he's lying. I don't trust him, but I need to find Logan... Do I really need to find Logan? We hardly know each other... I mean, he's really nice and cute and... I did not just think that. I mentally slap myself and keep following Janus. Too cute to harm?

I can see Logan now, he's sitting under a tree, talking to someone. The person looks like a guy Roman once told me about. What was his name? Virgil? That was it. Virgil was Roman's boyfriend, I think.

A couple of years ago. He got banished. Now it's coming back to me.
"Virgil, who's this?" Janus announces once we reach them. I was right, this is Virgil. Roman will be so upset when I tell him about seeing Virgil.
"Patton?"
"Hi Virgil." I smile. He smiles back. Logan raises an eyebrow at me.
"Why are you with Janus?"
"I asked him where you were."
"Oh, well we should go. Nice to see you again Virge." Logan grabs my hand, quickly leaving. I feel a hand cover my mouth and eyes and I hear Logan scream out my name.
"He's coming with us."
