ROMAN's POV

Virgil and I head down to the main office building in this city. It's windy today, nice and windy. Virgil keeps bumping into me, the wind blowing us both to the right. Our fingers brush but he pulls away like I have some sort of disease. I ignore it, I put on a face to say it didn't bother me at all even though I'm dying on the inside. Not only did he reject me in words but he's going to keep rejecting me and that's what's hurts. The way he looks at me is filled with hurt, the way he acts near me is always pulling away. It hurts, it hurts so much. I just want him back. To be honest it was better when we were apart. I again ignore the way he accidently bumps into me and pulls away. It happens for the fifth time.
"Virgil, can you not?" I growl through clenched teeth.
"It's the wind, dip shit."
"I'm sure you can hold yourself up." I cross my arms and keep walking.
"The wind is strong." He glares at me.
"Why do you have to hate me now?" I glare right back at him.
"We both know if I don't hate you then shit goes down and we both end up heartbroken again, Princey."
"You're just scared."
"So what? Aren't you? Didn't you hate it last time?" he screams.
"Yes, I did Virgil! I hated every moment without you!" I scream feeling tears clogging up my eyesight. "Seeing you again isn't enough Virgil! I want you back!" he doesn't say anything, he just stands there watching me slowly slip to the ground. "You know, I never stopped thinking about you." I say shakily. He starts to back away. "You don't love me anymore, do you?" I peer at him through my tears. He shakes his head; his hand is over his mouth. He looks shocked?
"Roman, please stop."
"Stop what? Crying?" I ask, genuinely confused.
"N-no. Saying- saying stuff..." he stutters, his bangs fall over his face.
"I don't get it?" I try to stand up, pushing off the tears.
"I- I can't do this..." he gestures between us, "not again, I'm sorry." He turns and runs off. I sigh, falling back to the ground. I lean against the brick wall of the alleyway, gaining my strength back. I try not to let myself cry again. It was stupid to hope that we could be what we used to be.

"Prince Roman of the Light Sides!" I hear someone shout. I look up, suddenly alert. Someone knows who I am... they could send me back... "he's here guys!" it's one of the guards. Oh no, no, no, no, this cant be happening. The only thing I can think of doing is run. I run, I run all the way down to the beach, the guards chasing me. I need a better idea. "Your majesty! What are you doing?" one of them shouts at me. I cover my ears and keep running.
"Leave me alone!" I scream. "I just want a normal life with the only person I've ever cared about!" I throw a stick back at one of them and keep running. "Just because my fathers a king doesn't mean he can have me and tell me that I'm going to rule because the only way I'd ever rule is if I could have a HUSBAND not a WIFE because I AM GAY!" I scream. What am I doing?
"Your majesty, please calm down!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT IM NOT YOUR KING, ILL NEVER BE!" there's silence. There is silence. I turn around and see that they're on the ground, unconscious. I look up and see Virgil staring back at me. He raises his hands in defence.
"I never liked that one anyway." He says and smiles at me. "Am I really the only person you have ever cared about or were you talking about someone else?"
"I was obviously talking about Remus." I roll me eyes, "Thanks for saving me from them." he starts to walk toward me. "Virge?"
"Maybe... maybe I can do this again..."
