Virgil's (pov)

I breathed out a sigh of relief as Logan and I just barely made it pass the guards. "This is insane! Are we really doing this for a lousy prince?" I whisper yelled. Logan merely smirked "What about your baker? Patton was it?" I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms in a huff. "That's different."

I looked down to my now pale skin. My tar gone as well as my wings. Well almost. "How long do we have before we're revealed again?" I ask, wouldn't want my wings popping up out of nowhere. "One am." "Because of copyright laws?" "What?" "What?"

Not even ten minutes in and I've lost him! How on earth could he have just disappeared?! Now I have to spend the rest of tonight worrying an-"Ack! Oh. Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!" I look up to see my purple tux stained and "Patton?!" I exclaim. He smiles brightly upon seeing me. "Virgil? Why as I live and breathe." I smile slightly at his all to innocent reaction. "Yea it's uh it's me." He smiled softly, eyes only widening when he noticed the wine stain on my tux. "Oh dear I'm so sorry! Here come with me!" Before I knew it Patton grabbed my hand and whisked me off to the back rooms of the castle.

Patton ended up bringing me to his room. It was small as expected. A single bed tucked in the corner, a desk sitting beside it not to mention the very worn down wardrobe. Finally there was a tiny rectangular window that lay just above his desk.

"Sorry it's so small. Servants don't really get much. It doesn't help that I'm not as good a cook as my dad either." He sat me down on his bed and reached underneath it grabbing some clothes that looked to be cut up in smaller pieces. "So this is all you get?" He nods humming taking my blazer of me and scrubbing the stain. "Yea.....but that's ok! I usually spend time with Roman and his room his huge!" He says smiling brightly though by how hard he was scrubbing the blazer I doubt he thought that living conditions were fair. I gently grabbed his hand bringing the scrub towards me looking up into his fragile eyes. "It's ok to be mad you know? Everyone gets a little mad sometimes." Patton gives me a watery eyed smile. "I'm never mad."

"Well then your sad."

"I'm not sad."

"Really?"

"Of course kiddo! I'm just your happy pappy Patton a fun loving bak-

"Your crying."

He freezes as a single tear rolls down his cheek. I open up my arms and he willingly jumps into them nuzzling his face in my neck. I rub his back as he silently cries in my arms. I'm not sure what overcomes me but I press a gentle kiss to his hair causing him giggle lightly into my neck. "Thank you for this. All of this. Just existing in general." I smile as he sits back up rubbing underneath his glasses. His hair becoming lose in his ponytail. "Everybody needs a little help sometimes. I should know I help everybody." He cracks a small smile, the both of us unconsciously moving in. "Virgil?" I hum as a response. "Can I kiss you?" I run my thumb gently over his cheek. "I would love nothing more." At this point we're both smiling idiots as we finally meet in the middle. A kiss of pure admiration and love.

Ruined by fire.
