"You're such an idiot, Roman!" Virgil snapped to the prince, who was currently sitting upright on the darker side's bed with a good chunk of skin missing from his left thigh. He was trying his best to patch it up, but it was bleeding and wouldn't stop. The anxious side quickly went into the other room before returning with a clean towel. "God, what the hell were you thinking?"
Roman tried to give him a smile, but deflated and winced when Virgil used the towel to press down on the wound in an attempt to stop the blood which seemed to never stop coming. "I wanted to see how- ow ow ow ow!- how well my fighting skills have come along." He said as Virgil removing the blood-soaked towel to start applying disinfectant. "I won! Just, at the expense of- ow! God, will you stop that?!"
"Well, I wouldn't have to do this if you just properly armored yourself up!" Virgil hissed, clearly tired of his lover complaining about the things we was trying to do to help him. "Instead of thinking you're a fucking God, bring more to protect yourself with then just a damn shield!" He began wrapping the wound in tight, long, white bandages that soon were speckled with crimson.
"Virgil, please, I'm fine! I was just being a bit too careless and cocky. You don't need to worry about me-"
"But I do worry, Ro! I worry that one day, you're going to stumble back to my room, broken beyond repair and I'm going to have to hold you in my arms as you die! I worry that one day I'll have to say goodbye to you for the last time! I worry every time you leave to go fight whatever creature you make up, that the last time I kissed or hugged you or heard your voice would be the last time I ever get any of those things!" Virgil said, bordering between pleading and anger, tears pricking at the edges of his green and purple eyes. "I love you, Roman! If you died, how do you think that would affect Thomas? How that would affect me?" He took a shaky deep breath, pushing the tears down, as he continued to wrap up his lover's wound, not saying another word. Roman was almost completely sure it was because of how close he was to tears.
The prince softened, guilt filling his mind. He reached out a hand, cupping his lover's face as he finished patching him up. "I'm sorry, mi amor." He mumured, holing he knew how genuine he was about his apology. He hated seeing him upset, and would do just about anything to keep him from getting to that state.
Virgil leaned into his hand, putting his own over top of it as if he was making sure it wouldn't move from his cheek. "I just wish you would see how dangerous you're making everything for yourself." He managed to choke out, but no tears had fallen yet. The anxious side looked to his with eyes so full of care and worry that Roman felt as if he'd been kicked in the stomach with regret. "It hurts seeing you get hurt so many times, and you don't even care..."
Roman paused for a moment, sighing quietly and nodding. "I know, I'm sorry." He repeated. "I'll make it up to you, love. Come cuddle, and I promise to protect myself better from now on, okay?"
Virgil hesitated but nodded, giving into the agreement as he carefully went to the other side of his boyfriend and got onto the bed. He moved closer to him until he was pressed against him, nuzzling his head into the nook of his neck and wrapped his arms tightly around him. Normally he would put his legs around him too, but he must have realized it would have most likely hurt Roman to do that. He was more than thankful for him thinking ahead, as it still hurt like hell. Roman put his arm around his shoulders, pulling him closer. "Is this better?" He asked quietly, only to receive just a small nodded in response. He could tell Virgil was tired because of the large, sudden spike of anxiety, and he himself was too. "I'm glad."
It wasn't long before the two fell asleep, cuddling one another. And not for one single moment did the two ever let go of one another.
