Roman was quite an honest guy. After all he was a prince, you probably couldn't find a more noble trustworthy man around. However, there was one secret Prince had kept from everyone. One he himself didn't even fully understand.

He liked it when Anxiety laughed...
Or even just smiled...

Even the boy's smirk was enough to make Roman's heart flip. Every time he saw it he'd melt inside. He'd be overwhelmed with some sense of happiness.

A feeling that he contained out of fear, but made him want to jump from joy at the very moment those lips turned upwards and a small sound, even if just barely imitating happiness or humor, escaped from them.

He remembered the first time he'd seen the sight. Anxiety laughed at a joke he made calling Morality and Logan nerds.

Roman had tried to play off the new strange feeling by being defensive and insulting him with a considerably 'emo' store name, and then Anxiety replied with:
"Awe you think I'm hot"

Which by the way only made prince feel even stranger.

Anxiety only smiled and or laughed minuscule amounts after that. And prince well honestly...

He couldn't get enough of it...

Literally, because it almost NEVER happened. And even when it did it wasn't even something that could be considered a chuckle, or it be almost too small to see.

So prince knew what his new goal was going to be. He was going to make Anxiety laugh. As much as he could as much as he had to just to see it. He was determined to make it happen... and maybe even decipher some of his feelings in the process...

Prince walked into the lounge of Thomas' mind hearing Anxiety in there.

"Greetings Anxiety!" He said enthusiastically.

"Hi..?" Anxiety seemed confused by his excitement to see him.

Prince cleared his throat. "What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?"

"What?" Anxiety's confusion only grew.

"What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?" Roman repeated nonchalantly.

"I don't know..." Anxiety replied giving him a weird look.

"RoberTO!" Prince replied.

Anxiety blinked back at him but other than that had no reaction. "You've been hanging around Morality too long." He muttered before walking away.

Damn, to no prevail! Roman cursed to himself.

The next day Roman found Anxiety in the kitchen making a pizza for himself.

"Hello anxiety." He greeted. "What's a frat boy's favorite element?"

"Not again..." Anxiety let out a breath in annoyance. "I don't know, what?"

"Bromine." Prince smiled proudly.

"Ha..." anxiety frowned sarcastically, still focusing on his pizza.

"Awe come on!" Roman exclaimed he then walked over to anxiety, grabbing the knife away from him, putting it to the side, and turning him toward him. "Laugh." He stared into his eyes.

"Wh-what?" Anxiety asked his voice shaking in slight fear.

"Laugh~" prince pouted, poking Anxiety's nose. "All I want is for you to laugh."

"What the hell Princy?" Anxiety felt himself blush slightly, still very confused by Roman's actions, and stepped back from him. "Stop, talk to me again when you aren't acting a weird." He then put the pizza in the oven and turned the timer on.

Later prince passed Anxiety in the hall, and stepped in front of him. "Obviously jokes aren't working, so how else can I make you laugh."

"Tch, why do you even want me to laugh?" Anxiety rolled his eyes looking to the side.

"Because I-" Prince suddenly stopped as an idea popped in his mind. A mischievous smile spread across his face.

"What is that look for?" Anxiety asked watching him strangely.

Prince suddenly grabbed anxiety, pulling him toward him, and tickling his sides.

"Ah!" Anxiety started to laugh uncontrollably. "Princey!" He gasped. "What... the... hell... stop!" He felt himself fall backwards landing on the ground with a slight thud, prince tumbling down with him.

"I knew it. If I'm ticklish then you must be as well." He said happily as he continued his torment. He couldn't help but feel that feeling build up inside the pit of his stomach and spread outwards as he heard and watched Anxiety laugh. He was overwhelmed with it. He felt happiness overtake him.

This is the most he'd ever seen his friend laugh before...
It was wonderful!

"You're.... such.... a moron! Stop it!" Anxiety struggled between his laughter. "Please..!"

"Why would I, this is so much fun?" Roman pointed out.

"Not... if I can't... breath!" Anxiety rolled back and forth slightly whether because the tickling was too much, or it was some desperate try to shake Prince off. "Roman stop!"

Prince slowed the tickling to a stop at the sound of his real name coming from Anxiety's mouth. He felt his heart pick up the pace and his face heat up ever so slightly.

Anxiety caught his breath as he let out his excess giggles.

Roman let him get some air before the cute sight in front of him, well below him, caused something to come over him, and he leaned down to capture Anxiety's lips in his own, before they had the chance to fall into his usual scowl.

Anxiety flinched slightly, obviously surprised at first. He felt his face turn red and his eyes widen considerably. He slowly felt himself returning the kiss however and his eyes slowly closed.

Prince deepened the kiss, shifting to a more comfortable position. He felt Anxiety's hands shaking slightly as they snaked around his neck and made their way to gently intertwine with his hair.

Roman then pulled away.

Too soon for Anxiety's taste...

But still he stood, pulling the more negative personality to his feet. "I do apologize, but I just love it when you smile."

Anxiety didn't hesitate to kiss him when they were once again put face to face.

It was a relatively short kiss and prince couldn't help but blush when he pulled away.

Anxiety was smiling...

"You really are a moron Princey." He gave a sarcastic chuckle. "If you wanted to make me smile you should have just kissed me earlier."

Prince blinked, surprised by the flirtatious remark, but then felt a smile graced his own lips. "I'll be sure to remember that for the future." He then pulled him close, them once again sharing in a sweet kiss.
