The Cursed Light

10

Janus and Patton were left in the room alone with each other. Patton growled at the snake-like side who flinched in response.
    “Patton-” Janus started only to be cut off.
    “Shut it Deceit. What did you do to Logan?” Patton interrupted.
    “I didn’t do anything Patton,” Janus said.
    “I don’t believe you,” Patton said.
    “You never do anymore my dove,” Janus muttered.
    “What did you just call me?” Patton asked.
    “My dove?” Janus asked.
    “Don’t call me yours,” Patton snarled.
    “You used to love when I called you that,” Janus said leaning against the wall trying to keep his cool.
    “You have never called me that. I would never let you,” Patton said.
    Janus forced away the tears that threatened to spill and said, “You did once you just don’t remember.”
    “That’s enough,” Patton hissed.
    “Why? Scared I’m right?” Janus asked.
    “No I’m just tired of hearing your lies,” Patton growled.
    Janus yanked off his gloves and threw them on the table.
“I’m not lying Patton. I love you more than anything in this world. You're my everything. My darling dove. The dragon witch cast a curse out of jealousy and stripped you of your memories. We used to spend hours just sitting together and talking about anything and everything. The day you kicked us out and we were confused as to what had happened and we begged you to stop joking? Do you remember that? That was the day I was going to propose to you. I could never lie to you my precious dove. I miss you Patton. Please remember. Please so I can finally give you this,” Janus said and when he finished her reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring box and opened it.
Inside was a stunning gold band with amber stones and in the center a chalcedony gemstone. Patton fell to the ground in shock as memory after memory surged through his mind. When he first met Janus. When he began to develop feelings for him. When he realized he liked the snake. When Janus asked him on a date for the first time. His and Janus first date. When he and Janus got together. His and Janus’s first kiss. Roman and Virgil’s wedding and dancing with Janus at it. Cheering when Logan and Remus got engaged. Everything. All of his emotions for the others came rushing back.
“Jan,” he whispered as he cried and threw himself into Janus' arms.
“I’ve got you Patton. You're okay. Everything is going to be okay. I promise,” Janus said comforting his darling dove.
“I’m sorry for everything,” Patton sobbed.
“Don’t apologize. You did nothing wrong my dear,” Janus soothed.
“If you still want me to, I would love to marry you Janus,” Patton said.
“Patton I want to marry you more than anything,” Janus said and slid the ring onto Patton’s hand.
“I love you so much Janus,” Patton said wrapping his arms around his fiance.
“I love you too Patton. More than words can say,” Janus said and kissed the top of his head only for Patton to pull him into a kiss.
“I am never leaving your side again Jan,” Patton murmured.
“I don’t want you to,” Janus said and kissed him again.
The two stayed on the floor for the next thirty minutes before Janus helped Patton up and they left for Patton’s room to cuddle and take a nap after the emotionally exhausting events of the morning.
