After Roman learned of how careless Thomas was without Anxiety he realized he may need to change his opinion on said personification a bit.

I mean it wasn't like he ever hated him, but it was well known that they weren't exactly friendly with each other either.

Roman respected him and what he did, plus how could he not enjoy a fellow Disney lover, but he still felt as though their relationship wasn't all that much better.

He wanted it to be...

And what better way to improve your relationship then to find some common ground?

After all some people can be more alike then you think.

"Anxiety my friend." Prince walked into the lounge of Thomas' mind. "I have a proposition for you."

"Yeah and what's that?" The previously addressed boy asked with a slight eye roll.

"I think we should spend a few days together." Roman replied ignoring the other's cold response.

"Us? Together?" Anxiety asked raising a brow. "Why?"

"Because I wish to get to know you and perhaps find somethings we have in common." He replied.

"Right..." Virgil said like he didn't quite believe him, but decided to humor him anyway. "Alright. So what should we do first?"

"Hm... I hadn't quite thought of that." Roman pondered. He then snapped his fingers. "I know. Let's start off easy. We both like Disney. Movie Marathon?"

"Fine but I propose Mulan as the first movie." Anxiety replied stuffing his phone in his pocket.

"I have no objections to that." Prince felt a smile form on his face.

The day after their movie marathon Anxiety had just gotten dressed, did his makeup, and decided to just chill out on his bed listening to music. He had his earbuds in, but still heard the knock at his bedroom door.

Roman then walked in and waved, so he pulled an earbud out.

"Princey." He greeted. "You sure are up early."

"Same goes for you." He replied. "What are you listening to?"

"I'll give you one guess." Virgil tilted his head his tone laced with a bit of sass.

"Hm... My Chemical Romance?" Prince inquired though he already knew the answer.

"And he's a mind reader." Anxiety stated sarcastically.

Roman let out a small chuckle and then walked over sitting next to him on the bed. "Here give me one." He referred to an earbud.

"What?" The paler asked in genuine confusion.

"Well I'd like to know what you're into, and I've never properly listened to their music, so why not." This time Roman actually held out a hand.

"Alright..." he gave an earbud to the valiant man.

Prince stuck it in his ear having to move a little closer. He listened for a bit not just to the melody, but the lyrics as well. "This is actually... fairly good." He looked to his friend.

Anxiety just bit back a smile and then leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes and getting lost in the music.

Prince did the same and after a while felt a head slowly fall onto his shoulder.

-&-

Roman woke up a bit later to a different music playing in his ear. He opened his eyes to see Anxiety still asleep on his shoulder. He carefully clicked the home button on his phone to see who was playing now.

EDEN

Slowly Virgil shifted and his eyes fluttered open. He grumbled a bit and then looked up to who he was leaned against. "Sorry..." he replied tiredly before sitting up and rubbing his eye. He then paused the music and took his headphones back, putting the phone on its charger.

"It's fine." Roman replied simply. "So... is there anything else you may be interested in doing?"

"Hm?" Anxiety thought for a moment. His eyes then met his dresser. "Can I do your makeup?"

"What?" Roman asked amongst a chuckle.

"I never get to do anyone's makeup but my own, and I want to try some things, so can I?" Virgil explained.

Roman raised a brow he hadn't expected Anxiety to be into a thing like make up, although it wasn't all that surprising. "Fine I suppose."

He could of swore he saw the paler boy perk up just slightly before getting off the bed. "Okay, sit on the ground."

-&-

"Close you eyes!" Virgil snapped in annoyance as he tried to wing out Roman's eyeliner perfectly, but he opened his eyes... AGAIN.

"Sorry sorry..." Said man apologized closing his eyes again. "I'm not used to this." He made the excuse, but really just wanted to secretly keep peeking at Anxiety's close by face. He'd never seen him like this. He looked so... focused.

"Whatever, your eyes are almost done, so just be patient." Virgil continues his work. "Okay you can open them."

Roman did as instructed and Anxiety looked from eye to eye to make sure they looked even. "Good." He then picked something else up and leaned over to put it on Roman's cheeks.

The fanciful side of Thomas enjoyed the fact that he'd ended up leaning so close and smiled slyly down at him.

Virgil met his eyes, but didn't pull away his head nor his hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because..." Roman trailed off. "I wanted to get along, but I never expected to have so much fun being with you. It's kind of strange how... content you make me feel. I like it."

Virgil felt his cheeks warm slightly. "Nobody's ever said I've made them feel... content before..."

"Really? What a shame." Prince tilted his head even closer so their noses were only centimeters apart.

They separated slightly when there was a knock on the bedroom door and Logan walked in. "Virgil, I need-" he cut himself short. "What are you two doing?"

Prince showed off his face confidently. "Slaying. What else?"

He looked back and forth between the two. "Right never mind Virgil I'll ask later." He left.

"You're a moron." Virgil looked back to Prince teasingly, and didn't even try to hide his small smile of amusement this time, making Roman's heart flutter.

"Where are we going?" Virgil asked that night as Roman casually held his hand and was leading him down a cobbled path surrounded by bushes.

"You said you wanted to do something I found fun, so that's what we're doing." Roman replied.

"That doesn't answer my question." Anxiety muttered.

"Fine." Prince stopped turning to look at him, but not letting go of his hand. "It's a surprise." He leaned down and whispered in the darkness. "That's your answer so come on."

Virgil felt himself blush as Prince started to lead him off again.

They stopped in front of a painted white door that had small flowered vines growing over it. Roman opened it letting Virgil step in before him before closing the door behind himself.

Virgil looked around the small clearing with the giant tree growing in the middle of it. There was a very small pond with a few koi fish swirling around at the base of the tree. The clearings bush walls were overgrown with colorful flowering vines that stretched up them, and wrapped around the trees branches. Some of the flowers were actually glowing creating a dim bluish light with the help of the moon directly above.

"What is this place?" Vigil asked looking up at the clear stars.

"My secret garden" Prince replied brushing past him and stepping in more. He stretched his arms out. "This is my happy place."

"It is very relaxing..." Virgil replied listening to the subtle noises of the night creatures, the wind gently blowing past the trees, and the slight ripple of the water as the fish swam through.

Roman unlocked his phone and scrolled through before clicking something and soft music started to play. He set the device down in a safe nook in the tree and then approached Virgil holding out a hand. "May I?"

Virgil tried to keep himself from being flustered. "I um... don't usually dance."

"That's alright, I'll lead." Prince tried reassuring him. "Besides it's just me and you here, no one is around to see. It will indeed be fun I promise."

Anxiety slowly placed his hand in Roman's still feeling a little skeptical. He almost gasped when he was suddenly pulled closer, and he felt a hand slowly snake around his waist. He slid his own hand onto his partner's shoulder and they then began to step around in tune.

After Virgil initially gotten the hang of it, Prince started to move smoother, and even twirl him around a bit if the melody called for it. He smiled at him the entire time.

Virgil only getting lost in his eyes...

After what felt like a blissful eternity the song stopped, and Roman led Virgil over to a swing, tied to one of the branches of the tree by two ropes, and sat him down since he seemed kind of dizzy.

"See." Roman whispered moving behind him and placing his hands over Virgil's paler ones on the ropes as he started to swing him softly. "I told you it would be fun."

"One of the only times you'll prove me wrong." Virgil replied enjoying the warm tingly feeling that resonated from his fingertips and traveled down his arms.

There was a small comfortable silence as Roman stood there and swung him for a bit, both of them just enjoying each others presence, and their calming surroundings.

"So." Virgil stated as Roman stopped swinging him. "Exactly how many young lads or maidens have you swept off and romanticized in this place?"

Roman chuckled. "You want me to be honest?"

"Obviously." Virgil responded.

"Okay well then...I'll answer." Prince walked back around the swing and sat on it next to Virgil, their sides rubbing together slightly. He reached an arm around the usually dismal character to grab the other rope, and stared down at him, leaning close to his face, and looking into his eyes. "Just one." He whispered.

Anxiety felt heat in his cheeks, and his heart beat sped up immensely. His eyes widened and he held back a shudder at the tickle of Roman's breath against his lips. He noticed the other male tilt his head and lean closer, so he did the same letting his eyelids slowly close, until their lips finally met.

Roman kissed him slowly and softly seeming to make it linger as long as he could, and once they pulled away he only leaned in to capture his lips once again, letting all his adoring emotions show through that one gesture.

After eventually pulling away Virgil was left breathless, and Roman had to steady him, so he wouldn't fall off the swing.

"I guess we really do have more in common then I though." Roman smiled leaning their foreheads together with a content smile.
