Kidnapped ~A Prinxiety Story~

Chapter 14: Valentine

Warnings: pricking, bleeding, making out

•••••••••••••••••••

About a week later, the day before Valentine's Day, Virgil went up to Patton. "So, uh, question. What do you give to your boyfriend on Valentine's Day-?" he asks.
Patton smiles. "That's super cute, kiddo- I don't know, I usually bake. But since your boyfriend is the prince, I doubt he'd eat human food.." he says, thinking about it. "I don't know, I'm sorry kiddo."

Virgil went to ask a few people. Logan suggested a letter, Joan said a drawing, and Talyn said a craft. They were nice suggestions, but Virgil wasn't confident in his skills for any of those things.

"If you're trying to show your affection for him, I'd say give him a piece of yourself. Not in the bad way, of course- I mean, give him something that has value to you. Trusting your partner with something you hold valuable can strengthen the bond of your relationship." Emile told him.

Virgil looks at him. "You.. Sound like a therapist-" he says. "I am a therapist. Or at least, I was one. Specialized in couple therapy." Emile responded. "Oh- well, you have a point, thank you. Maybe I'll try that." Virgil said, heading upstairs.

Once he got to his and Roman's room, he sat on the bed and pondered it. Something valuable to him? He hardly had anything growing up.. Except Alice- he had brought that with him, right?

Virgil got up from the bed, going to the closet and pulling out the box of items he wanted to keep from his old house. He and Roman had snuck back one night after the investigation.
He opened up the box, and sure enough, there it was; Alice was a stuffed white rabbit with a blue shirt that his friend had given him in 3rd grade. Virgil kept it hidden in his back pack most days, but would hug it when he'd cry alone.

Of course, it has a few loose threads and holes.. Virgil checked the time; it's 5:30 pm, meaning Roman gets done with fencing in about 30 minutes from what he's learned.
So, he made his way back downstairs, holding the stuffed rabbit and trying to find Patton. When he found him, he went up and asked, "Hey, Pat? Is there like.. A needle and thread anywhere?"

Patton looks at him and smiles. "Yes, sometimes outfits need adjusting and the tailors are the ones to do that, so- here, I'll go grab it. What color thread do you need?" he asks.
"Just white should be fine." Virgil replied. Patton nods, getting up and walking off. It took a few minutes, but he came back with the white thread and a needle.

"Be careful, kiddo." he says, handing them to Virgil. "I will be. Thanks, Pat." Virgil replied, heading back to Roman's room. He sat down at the desk Roman usually works at, threading the needle.
"See if I remember how to do this.." Virgil mutters, picking up the rabbit and starting to stitch the holes.

He was doing so well too, until the very last fucking hole. He misjudged where his finger was and ended up piercing the needle right into his index finger pad, immediately hissing quietly and dropping everything he was holding.

"Jesus Christ- oh well, it's done I guess." Virgil mutters, putting the rabbit back in the box until tomorrow. After doing so, he walked out of the room and started heading to the bathroom.
Before he got even halfway there, he was pulled backwards by his wrist (the one with the bleeding finger, which he didn't realize had started bleeding).

Virgil realized who grabbed his wrist almost immediately; Roman. Only Roman has ever been so gentle yet firm. Sure enough, he turned around to be met with his boyfriend, holding Virgil's wrist just above his shoulder with a look.

"What did you do?" he asks. "I- ummm... N-nothing?" Virgil replied, smiling nervously. Roman didn't believe him, obviously. He stared at Virgil for a moment before licking the blood off, causing Virgil to blush slightly. "Ro-"

"Such a small puncture.. A needle. Why did you have a needle?" Roman asks. Virgil stared for a moment. "How- in the holy hell did you know I-?" he asks.
"Virgil, I'm a vampire. With human servants. I've seen many things cause them to bleed, and this is distinctively the prick of a needle. So, why did you have a needle?" Roman says.

"I.. I can't tell you. Not yet.. Also, how did you know which hand was bleeding?" Virgil asks. Roman looks at him. "I.. Could smell it? Love, I'm literally a being who feeds on blood- Quite honestly, it had me slightly worried."
Virgil blushes a little. "S-sorry.. I promise I'll tell you tomorrow, my prince."

<next day, after breakfast>

Virgil went upstairs to Roman's room, where Roman was watching a random Disney movie on his bed. "Welcome back, love." he says, smiling at Virgil and pausing the movie.
Virgil smiles back a little. "Hey, so I have something.. Um.. For you.." he mumbles shyly, walking over to the box and pulling the rabbit out.

"S-so.. You know how you g-got me that purple hoodie..? W-well.. I.. I know it's nothing special.. A-and I know you own way better things.. B-but I want you to have this.." he says, holding it out to him slightly.
"H-her name is Alice.. I-I've had her for a very long time now; sh-she helped me through very hard times.. S-so.. I.. I want you to t-take care of her now.." he says, blushing a bit and looking away.

Roman smiles softly, taking the rabbit carefully and looking at it. "Virgil.. It is special, because it's special to you. And I'll guard it with my life, just like you. Now come here, my shy baby." Roman says, setting the stuffed animal down and pulling Virgil down to sit in his lap before kissing him softly.

Virgil blushes and kisses back, Roman putting his arms around Virgil's waist. Roman licked Virgil's bottom lip slightly, and Virgil slowly opened his mouth, allowing Roman to deepen the kiss. It was very gentle and loving, from both of them.

Once the kiss breaks, Virgil sighs contently. "You.. Make my heart feel all sorts of fluttery." Roman smiles at him. "I'm glad, then."
