His Neko

Chapter 5

Tws: slight homophobia

The next morning, Roman wakes up to his alarm blaring in his ear. He turns the alarm off. Then turns his attention to the scared cat, that's cuddled into him.
"What's the matter?" Roman asks, stroking Virgil's ears.
"W-what was that noise?" Virgil mumbles
looking up at Roman.
"My alarm." Roman answers.
"Oh. That was loud. I didn't like that." Virgil said, letting go of Roman.
"Sorry, I should have told you last night." Roman apologizes.
"It's ok master. Just scared me." Virgil responds sitting up.
Roman sits up with him. "Ready for today?" Roman asks, standing up, heading to his closet.
"No, but your mom is bring me an outfit." Virgil says.
"Oh alright. Do you know where their room is?" Roman asks.
"Yes, but the king." Virgil said, looking away as Roman changed.
"I see. Well I have to go. I have training. But, I'll come see you later." Roman says, walking over to Virgil.
"Training?" Virgil asks, confusion clear in his voice.
"Sword training. I'm a prince I have to know how to fight." Roman explains.
"Oh. That makes sense." Virgil says, "I'll be here when you get back."
"You don't have to stay in here." Roman states sitting on his bed beside Virgil.
"I don't want to be a bother. I'll be ok in here." Virgil responds
"Alright." Roman sighs, "I gotta go, I'll see you soon, V." Roman gets up.
"Be safe master." Virgil said, grabbing Roman's hand.
          Roman smiles at the boy, "I will be, V. I'll see you in about two hours."
         "Ok master. See you soon." Virgil let's go of Roman. Roman waves and leaves the room.
         A few minutes later the queen comes in. "Hello, Virgil." She states with a smile.
          "Hello, my queen." Virgil replies with a small smile.
         "Here are your clothes." The queens lays the outfit on the bed as she speaks. "I'll wait outside till you're dressed. I wanna see how you look." She smiles.
          "Yes ma'am." Virgil says as the queen leaves. Virgil looks at the outfit and blushes.
           'Ok.' Virgil thinks. Virgil changes into the outfit shown below.

         "I'm finished Queen!" Virgil calls out.
          The queen enters and gasps, "You like incredible! Absolutely gorgeous!" The queen gushes.
           "Thank you ma'am." Virgil blushes. Virgil pulls the sleeves down on the top covering his hands.
            "Take a walk with me, Virgil?" The queen asks as she is leaving.
             "I would love too. But, the king wouldn't like me out and about. Especially if Roman isn't with me." Virgil says, looking down.
             "He's in a meeting. We have a few hours." The queen said, taking Virgil's hands.
              "Alright. I guess I could." Virgil says with a smile.
              Jenna claps, "Wonderful! C'mon!"
Virgil smiles as Jenna drags him out of the room. They walk around castle for awhile. The queen telling Virgil what everything is. Soon they meet Roman in the hall.
"Well don't you look lovely." Roman flirts with his Neko, earning a blush from Virgil and a squeal from Jenna.
"I'll leave you boys alone." The queen runs off.
"Now," Roman wraps his arm around Virgil's waist leading him back towards his bedroom. "As I was saying. You look extraordinary, kitten."
Virgil squeaks, burring his blushing face into his hands. "T-thanks."
                "No need to be all flustered. I'm speaking the truth." Roman opens his bedroom door, allowing Virgil to step in.
              After a few minutes, Virgil asks, "Master?"
               "Yes V?" Roman responds, hanging his sash up.
               "Why did you call me kitten?" A blush raises to Virgil's cheeks.
                "That's what you are, is it not?" Roman answers. Roman walks back over to Virgil. "Is there a problem with it?"
"N-no. Just wondering." Virgil mumbles, curling in on himself.
"Now now. Don't be embarrassed." Roman moves so he's sitting behind Virgil.
"Apologies master." Virgil uncurls himself and leans back into Roman's touch.
"No need. Just relax." Roman strokes Virgil's ears.
Soft purrs come from Virgil throat. He turns to his side and snuggles into Roman.
Roman chuckles, "Comfy kitten?"
"M'yeah." Virgil responds.
Roman smiles and lifts Virgil into his lap. Roman rocks back and forth for a little. Soon Roman hears soft quite snores coming from the Neko.
Roman lays him down on the bed just as he hears a knock on his door.
"Who is it?" Roman calls.
"Me son." The king responds.
Roman quickly moves Virgil to the floor in on his rug. He presses a kiss to the neko's temple.
"Roman!" Richard yells.
"Come in father." Roman sits on his bed.
The king enters and glares at the cat-boy for a second. "Son."
"Yes father?" Roman answers.
"You and Rin aren't getting married. You won't be wed to another man either. You'll rule the kingdom alone." The kings states.
"I see. Thank you for the information." Roman swallows the lump in his throat.
"Glad to see you know how to treat the creature." The kings kicks the rug under Virgil, waking the Neko.
Virgil's eyes flutter open. He scoots away from the king.
"Yes father. If that's all you need, I am quite tried after the training." Roman smiles a fake smile.
"Ah yes. See you later son." The kings turns and leaves.
Once gone, Roman breaks. Tears flow from his eyes.
Virgil jumps up and runs over to Roman. He wraps his arms around Roman.
"What happen Master." Virgil asks, wiping the tears away from Roman's cheeks.
"Let's just say my father doesn't approve of me." Roman answers with a dry chuckle.
"Oh, master." Virgil sits on Roman's lap, wrapping his arms around Roman neck. "I'm sorry master. I don't know how to comfort you very well."
"It's ok kitten. I'll calm down in a minute." Roman hugs Virgil.
Virgil starts to purr, nuzzling Roman. Roman chuckles. He lays down on his bed with Virgil on his chest.
After a few minutes Roman calms down. "Thanks kitten."
"You're welcome master. Glad I could help you." Virgil says, "You're probably tired. Take a nap."
"Yeah alright." Roman agrees.
Soon both of the boys are asleep, cuddled up with each other.
