Fic title: A double-edged love
Prinxiety (Feel free to write this, tag me if you do!)
Roman is a prince, his fathers (Logan and Janus) are about to pass the throne to him.
He has to marry someone, so his parents begin holding elaborate balls to find him a spouse (gender doesn't matter)
Roman has made it clear he only wishes to marry out of love, he only wants Virgil.
His dads see no issue, the standing not really the point
Logan was a doctor before he married Janus
The issue is the fact that Virgil has made clear his lack of interest in marriage
Virgil is head of the guard and busy constantly, best of friends with the younger prince (Remus) and Patton.
Patton and Virgil are particularly close that most people think that they're together
(They aren't they're basically brothers)
When Virgil heard Roman had to arry he apologized about the situation
And said "That socks, marriage is dumb. Let me know if you need a - escape from it, I am your knight after all.
Logan and Janus are very in love but also very done with their mopey child.
The kings both noticed the way Virgil acted around Roman
Virgil watches everyone, but he watches Roman near constantly, eyes fond
He always cheers Roman up
He's attempted to train Roman in self defense (the kings appreciate it and the realization Roman might have to fight for himself)
Virgil was the one who taught Roman to dance, they spent hours and hours every night for a year learning together
Virgil keeps chocolates for the princes, but mostly Roman.
Remus knows full well about Virgil and his crush, and teases him relentlessly
Surprisingly it's Patton who makes a plot to get these two together
Patton goes to the kings with Remus
(Virgil and Roman are having a picnic because they are """"friends"""")
Patton says, "Your majesties, I propose we force Virgil and Roman to marriage, perhaps you can come up with an ultimatum?"
Logan and Janus are surprised that Patton is the schemer, but proud of him (their pride son lol)
Remus proposes blowing up the castle which is shot down quickly.
Janus decides to contact his sister, Desdemona (dragon witch) asking her to curse Roman that until he is married by a knight with two different colored eyes and a deep voice (literally only describes Virgil) who has a knack for magic, he will lose his abilities and strengths until he withers
So, a month passes, and the curse is cast, though Dragon witcj disguises herself to do it.
Virgil had been visiting his family for the first time in three years. (Remy and emile are his parents and Thomas is his little brother)
He gets back three days later to find Roman, struggling to walk, speak, and understand anything
Virgil enters panic induced rage blackout, destroying the surrounding rooms to find the culprit.
Once calmed down, Patton, Remus, and Logan explain the situation.
Virgil sighs, 'guess I'm getting married to him then'
Virgil celebrates the idea imminently in his mind
They're married two days later, and as soon as they kiss Roman's abilities return, so he kisses Virgil again, this time more capeable
Except, Virgil had been cursed at birth that if he ever married, he would lose himself, unless his spouse managed to find and break a certain mirror
Roman is told this by an upset Thomas a few days later, after Virgil begun acting more and more like Roman himself
Cue an epic journey, Virgil so far gone he acts exactly like Roman, even losing his fighting abilities.
Patton ends up having to take Virgil when Roman drops him off.
Remus and Patton watch Virgil, he slowly starts acting like Patton and Remus combined
Roman ends up finding and breaking the mirror
But when he comes back Virgil has been unconscious for two weeks (when Roman broke the mirror, but also when Virgil tried to blow up the torture chamber)
Roman is upset because he thinks Virgil is gone forever
So, Roman sits, clutching Virgil's hand
Virgil priest his eyes open, "dad, papa?"
Virgil looks over, "Princey?"
Some cute reunion and several kisses later Remus loudly proclaims he's going to 'marry Patton for his body'
Ruini g the moment and possibly starting a sequel
Virgil is back to himself, Roman is safe, and they're sapping in love when they take over the role if kings soon after this mess
Janus and Logan retire to a large house thats mostly a library
