Summary: Despite his emblem being a stormcloud, Virgil has never experienced rain. Roman fixes that.
Warnings: Over the top fluff. Excessive fluff. You have been warned.
It’s really late. The later it becomes, the more one can argue that it’s actually early.
Logan and Patton have fallen fast asleep, leaning against one another on the couch. Roman sits on the floor and is still wide awake, completely enraptured by the movie that’s currently playing on TV, even though he has seen it more times than he can count. Virgil sits next to him and is fighting to hold his eyes open, actually enjoying the movie Beauty and the Beast.
Although he has also seen it before, he loves happy endings. No, he doesn’t just love happy endings, he desperately needs happy endings. He needs them because….well, he isn’t even sure why. He just knows that any other ending leaves a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach and a dull pounding in his head.
The scene currently playing on screen is the moment where the rain is pelting the castle and the Beast is on the brink of death. Virgil leans forward, his eyes still on the movie.
“Roman?” the anxious side whispers.
“Huh? Hm what is it, Virge?”
“Why is it always raining on all the really distressing scenes?” he turns to look at the Prince.
“Oh, I suppose that’s because storms symbolize change, transformation, and danger in stories. It can sometimes represent the inner turmoil of the characters.”
Roman glances at him, “Something wrong?”
“….is that why Thomas chose my emblem to be a stormcloud?”
The Prince looks thoughtful, “Quite possibly. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can also represent new beginnings and growth. Let’s not forget that some of the most romantic scenes take place in the rain! And I rather enjoy rain, it’s quite….purifying.”
“Really? I guess I wouldn’t know.”
“Roman narrows his eyes, “Are you telling me that you have never experienced rain before?”
“You’re the one with the kingdom, Princey. You’ve never really liked me enough to invite me on your little ventures, remember?” Virgil rolls his eyes.
Roman gasps dramatically, “Okay, get up. It’s adventure time!”
“Wh–what are you talking about? It’s like 3am.”
“That’s the best time to get caught in a storm.” The Prince replies, helping Virgil off the ground.
“You’re fucking crazy,” he mutters. Roman simply grins as they make their way to his room, careful not to wake the others.
