Prompt: "Roman, Patton, Logan and Virgil spend the day trying to lose the guards, then they finally succeed and have a nice sunset picnic but then the guards find them and they get in trouble."
Also combined with:
"Virgil goes to the beach for the first time."

"Oh come on Specs you agreed we could do this once a month." Roman whined.

"I did no such thing." Logan insisted.

"You sir, are a liar," Roman said. "I'm giving all of the kisses reserved for you to Patton and Virgil now." He said as he stuck his tongue out at him.

"Whatever you say." Logan said with a shrug.

"Pleeasse Logan-Berry, it'll be fun." Patton said, wrapping his arms around Logan from behind and pressing a kiss to his neck.

Logan blushed at the nickname, before sighing softly.

"I suppose..." he mumbled.

"Yes!" Roman said excitedly before turning to where Virgil had been laying and watching them banter in amusement.

"Come on beautiful, you gotta get dressed." He said as he picked him up in one swift motion and pressed a kiss to his neck right above his pulse.

Virgil squeaked slightly when he was swept up off the bed.
"Oh stop it princy," virgil said with a half-hearted glare and a blush, gently pushing Roman away. "I can get up and dress myself, thank you very much." He said before slipping out of Romans hold and dusting himself off.

Roman pouted. "Fine, but that means I get to cuddle with you later." He said.

Virgil rolled his eyes with a smile, "Whatever you want." He said before walking over to his wardrobe.

"Pat, can you go to the kitchen and set up a basket for us? And Berry can you write up a note for his parents? So that they don worry." Roman asked.

Patton grinned and nodded before rushing out of the room, soon followed by a blushing Logan, who had agreed to write the note.

"What exactly do you wear at a beach?" Virgil asked.

"Well it depends on the time of year," Roman said as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "Around this time of year I'd say a pair of shorts and a loose shirt would do fine." He said.

"Alright," Virgil said, digging around a bit before pulling out the clothing items that Roman had said, gaining a nod of approval from Roman.

"I'm going to go grab a few things, I'll be back soon." Roman said as he got up and pressed a kiss to Virgil's cheek before rushing out of the room excitedly.

Virgil rolled his eyes fondly and went about getting changed.

It wasn't until twenty minutes later that the four of them all met back up in Virgil's room. Patton carrying a large picnic basket, Roman with two large blankets, and Logan with the note to Virgil's parents.

They'd all found the time to change into similar clothes to the ones that Virgil was wearing.

"So how are we sneaking out?" Virgil asked.

"We'll go out through the back of the gardens and loop around the front." Logan said. "We just need to plant the note first." He added.

"We could just leave it on my desk or my bed." Virgil suggested. "This'll be the first place they look anyway." He added.

"That's true." Logan said, before walking over and setting the letter on the edge of his bed, the thick cream colored paper standing out against the dark violet blanket.

Roman packed the two blankets up in the picnic basket with the food Patton had gotten, and the four of them began their escape.

They waited inside Virgil's room until they heard the guard's moving from their posts outside Virgil's door, which left them a minute to get out of the room and down the hallway before the next pair of guards showed up.

They made it around the corner at the end of the hall, walking as fast and as quiet as they could.

They spent the rest of the time sneaking out that way, ducking behind corners and curtains and suits of armor when they heard the guards or servants walking around, and ended up slipping through a window and into the gardens, ducking behind a few rose bushes as quickly as possible.

The quickly made their way through the garden and out of the back exit before looping around the outside of the castle and traveling along the road till they got into town.

There were still guards about, along with people who would most definitely recognize Virgil, so the quartet stuck to the less busy streets and the shadows, ducking through narrow alleyways when necessary.

They eventually, after almost getting caught several times, made it to the docks.

They made their way along the docks until it gave way to the beach.

This beach was decently populated though, which small children playing in the sand while their parents watched or swam.

"I don't know how you're not expecting for us to get caught here." Virgil said softly to Roman as the four of them continued to walk.

"We're not going to that beach, there's a cove twenty or so minutes that way that shouldn't have people near it, and if it does then there's another one a few miles after that." Roman explained.

The walked until they had eventually left the city and wear now traveling down a well beaten path that was shaded by tall overhanging trees, a warm breeze blowing through the branches.

"Do you know how to swim Virgil?" Patton asked.

"I know that moving your legs and arms decreases the chance of dying." He said, earning a giggle from Patton. "But no, not really." He added.

"That is technically true..." Roman said, although it really wasn't.

"We can teach you!" Patton said with a grin. "Roman and Logan are really good swimmers."

"And what about you Pat?" Virgil asked.

"I usually just float or stay in the shallows." He admitted. "But I can swim if I need to or if I decide I want to." He added.

Virgil smiled. "I might stick around with you in the shallows." He said.

"That's fine," Patton said as he reached over to hold Virgil's hand as they walked. "You don't have to do anything your not comfortable with."

"Patton's is right," Logan began. "Although it might be good for you to at least learn some of the basics, like floating on your back, how to tread water, and how to do a basic stroke." He said. "But some of those can wait for later." He added.

"Today is a chill day though, so don't worry about anything." Roman said, moving over to kiss Virgil's cheek and then Patton's cheek, before turning to Logan and giving him a peck on the lips, prompting all three of them to blush as Roman chuckled softly.

They eventually made it to the cove Roman had been talking about, and it was -thankfully- empty.

It was a small sandy beach that looked like it had been cut out of the cliffside with a knife. It had large rocky walls that went out into the water for a few feet before breaking off into singular large rocks sprinkled throughout the warm blue water. Part of the beach was shaded, and there were several trees around the edges of the sand that cast a bit more shade as well.

It was a beautiful beach, and had no other people at it from the looks of it.

"It's really nice isn't it." Roman said as he looked his arms around Logan's waist and rested his head on the other males shoulder as he looked at virgil.

"Yeah it is." Virgil said softly as Patton gently squeezed his hand.

Roman lead them down a steep and narrow path that put them directly onto the sand, and told them to help him try and find a good spot to set up their blankets and their picnic basket.

"I think around here looks good." Patton said as he walked over to a spot that was partially covered by the shade on one side, and was close to the water, but not close enough that they'd get wet, until the tide came in that is.

"It's perfect," Roman said. "Mind helping me set up a bit?" He asked as he set the picnic basket down, having taken it from Logan, who had been carrying it after Patton.

They spread out one of the large blankets on the sand and each sat down on it, Virgil holding Patton in his lap.

"Do we want to eat first or go play in the water, or something else?" Roman asked.

"I'm fine with doing whatever." Virgil said softly as he pressed a kiss to the top of Patton's head, making the blonde smile brightly.

"I wanna go swim for a bit," Patton said. "Maybe just sit in the shallows even." He added.

"I want to go sit on one of the rocks out there." Roman said. "Maybe dive off of one of the bigger ones if the waters deep enough."

"I plan on reading my book for a bit, but I may join in on the swimming in a bit.
"If you'd like to join me Virgil I would appreciate your company." He added with a small blush.

Virgil smiled over at him. "Sure," he said. "I don't mind siting with you." He added.

"We'll eat in a bit then." Roman said, before shifting closer to each of them, pressing kisses to their cheeks. "I'm gonna go get in the water now." He said as he stood up, pulling his shirt off.

"Me too," Patton said with a grin as he got out of Virgil's lap, pressing a kiss to said makes forehead before pulling his shirt off as well and grabbing Romans wrist, dragging him to the water with an excited smile.

Virgil laughed softly as he turned to logan. "Where do you want to read Specs?" He asked.

"We can go sit in the shade over there." He said, gesturing to a few trees as he stood up.

Virgil stood up as well, and walked over to the trees with him, finding a nice grassy spot to sit down.

He sat down, leaning against one of the trees, and spread his legs a bit.

"Come sit." He said as he patted the now open space between his knees.

Logan blushed the smallest bit but nodded, moving to sit between Virgil's legs and lean back against Virgil's chest.

"Can I play with your hair?" He asked.

Logan nodded. "Sure." He said as he shifted a bit to get comfortable, before opening up his book to read.

Virgil rested his elbows on Logan's shoulders and began to gently card his fingers through Logan's shirt dark locks. They felt soft and smooth, with no tangles or anything.

He hummed softly and continued to run his fingers through his hair, while gently massaging his scalp as well, which prompted Logan to relax against Virgil's chest even more.

They could hear Roman and Patton play in the water in the background, but it wasn't annoying, it was a nice sound.

They stayed like that for a while, just sitting quietly as Virgil played with Logans hair while the older teen read his book.

Virgil eventually stopped playing with his hair, and decided to snake his arms around Logan's waist and hold him close instead, burying his face in the crook of Logan's neck.

"I love you." Virgil mumbled softly against his pale skin, drawing a out a smile on Logan's face.

"I love you too." Logan said, before quietly closing his book.

"May I kiss you?" He asked softly.

Virgil blushed and nodded, moving his head farther over Logan's shoulder.

Logan turned his face and smiled before gently capturing Virgil's lips in a kiss, lifting his hand to cup Virgil's cheek as well.

Virgil hummed softly and closed his eyes as he leaned into the touch.

The kiss didn't last long, only a few more seconds before they pulled away.

"I think I'm done reading for now," Logan said as he sat up a little and turned around in Virgil's hold so that they were facing each other. "How do you feel about a nap?" He asked.

"Sounds amazing." Virgil said as he shifted down a bit into a more comfortable position, while Logan shifted with him and rested his head on Virgil's chest.

They eventually dozed off in the afternoon heat, not entirely asleep, but not really awake either.

Patton and Roman came over some forty to fifty minutes later soaking wet and tired from their playing, and smiled as they saw the two of them napping together.

"Should we let them sleep or..." Patton asked, trailing off as he looked over at Roman.

"Nah," he said with a smile. "I wanna wake them up, but sweetly and nicely."

Parton smiled and nodded in agreement.

Roman knelt next go where Virgil was leaning against the tree, and gently carded his fingers through his hair, smiling as Virgil hummed and leaned into the touch.

"Virgil, babe, time to get up." He said softly, moving so that his mouth was closer to Virgil's ear.

Virgil's face scrunched up a bit for a few seconds before his eyes slowly opened and he looked up at Roman.

"There you are," Roman said softly as he gave Virgil a loving smile. "Did you have a nice nap?" He asked.

Virgil hummed again as he nodded. "I did." He said softly, nuzzling his nose against Romans palm.

"Are you hungry at all?" Roman asked as he gently brushed Virgil's hair out of his face with his other hand.

Virgil nodded again, before looking down as Logan moved, the taller teen having been woken up by Patton.

"Come on sleepyheads," Patton said. "Let's go back over to the blanket."

The two helped Logan and Virgil to their feet and lead them back over to the blanket, Virgil immediately tucking himself into Roman's lap as he yawned softly.

"What all did you bring Pat?" Roman asked as he wrapped his arms around Virgils waist and rested his chin on the top of the other males head.

"I got some sandwiches, some nuts, a bunch of berries, and even a bit of chocolate." Patton said with a grin, setting out the food on the blanket in front of them.

The four of them began to eat the food, Roman feeding bites of berries and nuts to Virgil, along with a few pieces of chocolate, gaining small kisses as Thank you's.

"It's really nice today." Patton said as he laid down on his back and looked up at the sky. It was the afternoon now, probably a little after two or three.

"It is indeed," Logan agreed. "Hardly a cloud in the sky."

"And the water is warm." Roman said as he pressed a kiss to the crook of Virgil's neck, making him blush and smile.

"Want to go swim?" Virgil asked as he tilted his head back to look at Roman.

"I'd love to." He said. "Do either of you guys want to?" He asked as he looked up and over at Logan and Patton.

"Sure!" Patron said with a grin as he sat back up.

"I'd be willing to." Logan said with a small smile. "We should clean up first though." He added.

The four of them quickly cleaned up what was left of the food before heading over to the water.

Virgil was a bit hesitant to take his shirt off, but eventually did, knowing the others had seen him without a shirt before and he had nothing to worry about.

He carefully walked into the warm water, and Roman quickly came over to him.

"I'm gunna go dive off of that rock over there," Roman said as he pointed over at the rock. "Want to come join me?"

"Heck no." Virgil said. "You can go diving off of rocks all you want but I will be staying down here."

Roman laughed softly and pressed a kiss to Virgil cheek. "Watch me at least?" He asked.

"I suppose I could do that." Virgil said with a small smirk.

He watched as Roman smiled broadly before quickly wading through the water before beginning to swim towards one of the taller rocks in the deeper water.

Virgil laughed softly before wading his way over to Patton and Logan.

"Princey's gunna jump off the rock." He said as he sat down in the warm shallow water next to them, the water only going up to his rib cage.

"If he hurts himself then it's his own fault." Logan said from where he was leaning against Patton's shoulder.

"But you know CPR and stuff, so we'll be fine if he does hurt himself." Patton said as he pressed a kiss to Logan's forehead.

"Let's just hope he doesn't hurt himself." Virgil said.

The three watched Roman as he began to climb up the side of the tall rock. It was pretty far away from them, and the water around it looked pretty deep, but Virgil still chewed on his lip anxiously.

He eventually made it to the top of the rock, waving down at them with a wide grin.

"READY!?" He yelled down to them, cupping his hands around his mouth.

Virgil gave a thumbs up as Patton yelled back that they were, and leaned back against Logan as the other teen pulled him into his lap, wrapping his arms around his waist.

Roman smiled and walked over to the edge of the rock, staring down at the water for a few seconds before backing up a few steps.

He took a large breath, and rushed forwards before jumping off the ledge, curling up into a ball as he began his speedy descent.

It was only a few seconds, less than that even, before he hit the water, a large splash emanating from the spot where he'd hit the water.

Roman popped up a few seconds later with a large grin, treading water so that he could stay afloat.

"Good job Roman!!" Patton yelled to him, waving as well.

Romans grin grew larger and he quickly swam over to them.

"Thank you Patton." He said as he pressed a kiss to said males cheek.

"Are you sure you don't want to give it a try Virgil?" Roman asked teasingly.

"Nope, there are so many ways you could die from doing that and I'm sure I'd at least do two of them." Virgil said as he leaned farther back against Logan, feeling his arms tighten around his waist a little bit.

"Technically the chances of you dying are infinitesimal," Logan said. "It is highly unlikely that you'd die from jumping unless you hit your head on the way down, fainted, or gut hurt on impact or by something under the water, along with a couple other factors and such." He added.

"And those things still have a chance of happening, so never will I ever do it unless I need to do it." He said.

"You don't need to do anything you don't want to." Patton said. "I also don't want to jump, so I'm not going to." He said.

"How about we teach Virgil how to float?" Roman said. "It'll get dark in an hour or two, so we can't swim around for much longer unless we want to swim in cold water, but it'll be fun." He said.

"I don't know princey..." Virgil trailed off.

"Oh come on V, it'll be fun." Roman said.

"But you don't have to if you really don't want to." Patton reassured him.

"I...guess I'll give it a try." Virgil said. "At least for a little bit." He added.

He carefully got out of Logan's lap and reluctantly let Patton lead him into the deeper water, only stopping when it was run deep while they were standing, Logan and Roman staying a bit farther in to give them space, not wanting to crowd Virgil while he was nervous.

"So," Patton began. "What I want you to do it to take a large deep breath and lift your feet off the ground." He said. "Then I'll gently rip you backwards, you don't need to hold your breath or anything, just don't not breath." He said with a small giggle.

"You won't let me go under, right?" Virgil asked nervously as he chewed on his bottom lip, starting to think that this wasn't the best idea. The water was so deep and dark, and what if Patton accidentally let him go and he drifted even farther out, and then it was too deep to touch the ground and he couldn't swim back and he was swept away by the currents Logan had told him about, or what if a shark or some other kind of terrifying sea creature came out of the water, like the ones fathwe had told him about, he shouldn't be doing this, he isn't safe, he's going to drown out in the middle of the-

"Virgil, can you take a deep breath for me?"

Virgil flinched slightly and slowly lifted his eyes up to look at Patton.

"Just take a nice deep breath, okay? Not for the floating or anything, just breath." Patton said softly.

Virgil nodded slightly and took a large breath and held it for a second before slowly letting it out, doing it again a few times when prompted by Patton.

"There we go," Patton said with a warm smile. "Now, would moving a bit closer to shore make you more comfortable?" He asked.

Virgil bit his lip and hesitantly nodded. "Sorry." He mumbled.

"Hey, no no, don't be sorry," Patton said. "You have nothing to be sorry about, it's okay to not be comfortable."

Virgil looked away and stayed quiet as Parton gently took his hand and lead him a bit closer to shore, the water now just above his hips.

"Is here good?" Patton asked. "We can go farther in if you want." He said.

"Here's fine..." Virgil said softly, not looking at Patton.

Patton nodded and gently squeezed his hand before letting go.

"We're going to do it a bit differently this time," he began. "I still want you to take a deep breath, but now all I want you to do is just lean back and let me guide you into laying down." He said. "Again, you can still breath, just keep your breaths as steady as you can." He said.

Virgil nodded and glanced down at the water.

"Ready?" Patton asked softly.

Virgil nodded and took a deep breath before slightly leaning backwards, allowing Patton to guide his body down.

He felt a hand underneath his legs, gently pulling them up so that they weren't touching the ground anymore, which freaked him out a little bit, but he just closed his eyes and tried to ignore it.

"You're doing great V." Patton said reassuringly.

Virgil felt his face flush and knew his cheeks were probably red but he couldn't bring himself to care at the moment.

He felt Patton tilt his head back a bit more and touch the water, to the point where his ears went under, making him jerk up in Patton's hold, quickly bringing his feet back under him as he flailed a little bit.

"Hey, you're okay." Patton said softly as he placed a hand on Virgil's back.

"Sorry," Virgil said. "I-I..."

"There's no need to apologize," Patton said. "Do you want me to go get the others?" He asked.

Virgil shook his head no. "N-no I'm fine," he said. "Let's...let's try it again." He said.

"We don't have to if you don't want to," Patton said. "You don't need to do anything you don't want to do." He said.

"No I want to try again," he said. "I can do it." He said.

"Well, if you're sure..." Patton said.

"We just going to do the same thing again, alright? Your feet won't touch the ground and your head will partially be in the water, but not all the way." He said.

Virgil nodded. "Alright." He said, before taking a deep breath and tilting backwards a bit, letting Patton guide him down again.

"You're heads going to touch the water." Patton warned him a few seconds before his head did touch the water.

Virgil didn't jerk away this time though, forcing himself to suck it up and try and do what Patton had told him, keep his breathing steady.

"There you go," Patton said. "Can I take my hands away? You should be able to float on your own now." He said.

"U-um..."

"I can keep my hands here if you want, whatever makes you comfortable Virgil." Patton said.

"You can take them away if you want." Virgil said. "I'll be fine."

"If you're sure," Patton said, before slowly pulling his hands away.

Virgil felt his body sink a little lower and he squeezed his eyes shut as his breath hitched.

"Keep breathing V, you're doing great." Patton said reassuringly.

Virgil nodded slightly and began to take a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

After a while he began to grow used to it, and although he didn't really like it all that much, floating wasn't as scary as he'd originally thought, at least not when Patton was standing next to him and holding his hand.

"I think I'm done for now." Virgil said after maybe ten or so minutes as he slowly righted himself, standing on his feet again.

"That's okay, you did really good today Virgil!" Patton said with an excited grin as he kissed him in the cheek.

The two of them headed back over to Roman and Logan and began to mess around with them, splashing water back and forth at one another.

The day wore on, the quartet playing on the beach as they are their snacks and swam in the water, enjoying the time in the sun.

It began to grow dark though, the sun setting on the edge of the sea ahead of them.

"Come over here," Roman said as he sat down on the blanket and picked up the second one they had brought, draping it over his shoulders while holding his arms out for them, inviting the other three under the blanket.

Patton beamed and rushed over, snuggling himself against Roman's side, tucking himself under his arm.

Logan and Virgil smiled at Patton's excitement and walked over as well, Virgil curling up on Romans other side, why Logan was dragged and forced into Romans lap by Patton after he'd hesitated.

"We gunna watch the sunset?" Virgil asked as he snuggled closer to roman, smiling as he felt Romans arm wrap around his shoulders and hold him closer.

"Yup, it's really pretty to watch from here." Roman said.

The four of them snuggled closer together, Roman wrapping the blanket around them even tighter, and they watched as the sun began to creep below the ocean, the sky turning deep orange and red as it sunk further into the sea.

"It's so pretty." Patton mumbled softly as he gently drew shapes with his finger in the palm of Logan's hand.

The night grew darker as the sun continued to sink beneath the waves, and both Patton and Virgil ended up dozing off as they snuggled close to Roman.

"We should start heading back now," Roman mumbled softly as he pressed a kiss to the crook of Logan's neck.

"That would be a good thing to do." Logan said as he tilted his head back slightly. "We don't need the king and queen to panic." He added.

"I don't want to wake them up though," Roman said softly as he glanced down at the two sleeping on either side of him. "Could we carry them?" He asked.

"Not with the picnic basket," Logan said. "And some guards in the city might freak out if we're seen carrying a sleeping virgil." He added.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Roman said with a pout. "Will you wake Patton up? And I'll handle Virgil?" He asked.

"Sure." Logan said, before reluctantly crawling out of Romans lap.

Roman turned to the side Virgil was pressed up against, and smiled as he gently brushed his fingers along his cheekbones, thinking that the other male looked so sweet and cute while he was asleep.

He gently began to shake his shoulder. "Virgil, sweetheart, you need to wake up now." He said softly, moving his mouth so that it was next to Virgil's ear.

Virgil's face scrunched up a little bit, a small groan escaping his mouth as he reluctantly opened his eyes.

"Don't want to..." he mumbled, snuggling closer to Roman.

"Oh come on V, you gotta get up so we can get back to the castle." He said. "I promise to snuggle with you when we get back." He added.

Virgil grumbled softly before pushing himself to sit up, rubbing his face with one hand. "Fine, But we're sleeping in tomorrow." He added.

"I can agree to that." Roman said with a grin as he pressed a kiss to Virgil's cheek.

"You guys ready to go?" Logan asked from where he was kneeling next to an awake, but still sleepy, Patton.

"Yeah, let's just gather the blankets up." Roman said.

"I'm carrying this one." Patton said as he wrapped the blanket they'd just been under around himself, gaining a small laugh from Roman.

"Okay pat," He said with a grin. "Hey Specs, can you help me shake the sand out of the other blanket?" He asked as he and Virgil stood up.

"Of course." Logan said as both him and Patton got up as well.

The two of the shook off the blanket before folding it up and putting it into the basket, and turned around to find Patton kissing at Virgil's neck not to far away.

"Remember, no marks he can't hide easily." Roman said as he walked over to them, carrying the basket.

"I know," Patton said. "I only made a few marks, which can be covered by his shirt." Patton said.

"I don't want to go back yet." Virgil said softly, his eyes still sleepy and his face still flushed from what Patton had been doing.

"We need to, before it gets to dark." Logan said. "We'll come back here again though, don't worry." He added.

Virgil sighed before nodding. "Okay." He said.

"Time to go." Roman said, before leading them back up the the path they'd walked on earlier.

Now that the sun had gone down it was getting dark pretty fast, so the moved quickly along the path and through the town so that they weren't stuck walking in the dark.

As they walked through the city they were eventually spotted by a pair of guards who quickly rushed over to them.

"Your highness, the queen and king have been looking for you everywhere." One of the said as they began to usher the quartet towards the castle.

"We left them a note though?" Virgil said as he quickened his pace a bit.

"Yes and they found it, but we had some important visitors today who wanted to meet you now that you've returned to the kingdom, and your parents had to make up an excuse to postpone the meeting till tomorrow." One of them told him as they lead them through the gates.

"why didn't they mention anything yesterday or something? Told me ahead of time." Virgil asked.

"I don't know your highness," one of the guards said as they were lead into the castle.

"But your parents want to talk with you now that your back." The other said.

Virgil glanced over at the other three, who each shrugged in response.

"You three can go to your rooms, we'll take the prince to his parents and then off to bed." One of the guard's said.

Logan, Roman and Patton hesitated, looking at Virgil, but eventually left as Virgil gestured for them to go, not wanting any arguing.

The two guards lead Virgil to the tea room where they said his parents were worrying, and dropped him off outside the door.

"We need to go tell the head of the guards that you've been found, then we'll be back." One said before they both rushed off.

Virgil didn't even say goodbye as he stared at the door, anxiety welling up inside of him over what his parents were going to say.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, wincing as it creaked loudly.

The moment he was in the room his parents where there, hugging him and touching his face as they talked about how worried they'd been and why he hadn't been back before dark, and how much trouble he was in.

"Where were you? The guards couldn't find you anywhere." His mother said as she looked him over.

"I was at the beach," Virgil said quietly, looking at the ground.

"I know we said you could go out sometimes if you told us, but there were some people you were supposed to meet Virgil, and you'll be meeting them tomorrow so you'd better not pull another stunt like this," she said, poking his chest with every word to emphasize her point.

"I won't, I promise," Virgil said. "I'm sorry for making you worry and I'm sorry about the meeting, and I promise I'll be there tomorrow and I'll be on my best behavior, and-"

"That's enough Virgil," His father said. "We understand that you're sorry, and appreciate your promises," he began. "But we should apologize as well." He said.

Virgil looked up at him. "What do you mean? You didn't do-" he stopped talking when his father raised a hand to ask him to stop.

"If we had told you about the meeting I know you wouldn't have gone out with your friends, it's our fault for not telling you before hand that you thought it was alright to go out." He said. "Although, maybe next time you could tell us in person where you're going? And we might need to set up a curfew for you, we don't want you out at night." He added.

Virgil quickly nodded. "I promise I'll tell you in person next time, and I'm okay with a curfew." He said.

"Seven pm." His mother said, much to Virgil's dismay, that was rather early.

"How about nine pm?" His father said, having noticed Virgil's shoulder slump a bit. "And maybe a bit later for special occasions." He added.

"Isn't that a bit late for him to be out and about?" His mother asked as she chewed on her lip.

"How about seven if he's alone, but nine if he's with friends or guards? Along with the special occasions stuff." His father asked, trying to compromise.

His mother hesitated, before nodding.
"Alright..." She said. "But not to far our of town and such." She quickly added.

Virgil nodded quickly. "I promise, no later then seven or nine, not to far away, and I'll tell you in person before hand." He summarized.

His mother nodded, before hugging him, only for a few seconds though, since his father placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I think Virgil should be going to bed now, he does have that meeting tomorrow." He said.

The queen let him go and nodded. "Alright," She said. "Off you go, and don't stay up too late." She said.

Virgil nodded again. "I won't," he said, before stepping out of the room.

The two guards had come back by now, and quickly escorted him to his room, where he bid them Goodnight before stepping inside.

He found Roman, Logan and Patton in his room, the three of them hidden against the wall the door way couldn't see, so that if anyone came in they'd have to walk all the way in the room to see them.

Patton quickly rushed forwards, cupping Virgil's cheeks as he began rambling. "How did it go? Where they mad? Are you in trouble? What did-" he was cut off by a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Patton, maybe you should let Virgil tell us what happened." Logan said.

Patton blushed slightly and nodded as he sheepishly let go of Virgil's face.

"Well," Virgil began. "They weren't exactly mad, mostly just worried and disappointed, kind of." He said as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "They accepted my apology and apologized to me for not telling me about the meeting before hand. So they're not really mad, but I do have a curfew now, and I need to tell them in person if I ever plan on leaving." He said.

"What's your curfew?" Roman asked.

"Seven if I'm by myself, nine if I'm with friends or guards or have special permission." He said as Patton got into his lap.

"Well, at least your not in a bunch of trouble." Patton said. "I'd feel so bad if you were." He said.

"It wouldn't have been your fault." Virgil said. "But it will be your fault if I don't go to bed soon like they asked me to." He said. "Princy over here promised me cuddles when we got back, but you two are free to join if you want to." He said. "You also don't have to if you don't want." He added.

"Of course I want to!" Patton said as he wrapped his arms around him and snuggled closer.

"I would like to as well." Logan said with a small smile, that Virgil thought looked adorable.

"Then turn off the lights and get over here." He said with a smile, before flopping back into the bed, only bothering to kick his shoes off.

Both Logan and Roman quickly turned the lights off, while Patton and Virgil got comfortable on the bed, Patton wrapped around Virgil's back, his arms around the only slightly younger males waist.

Roman crawled into the bed on Virgil's other side,eating Virgil snuggle up against his chest as Logan got in on the other side of Patton, wrapping an arm over him.

"G'night." Virgil said softly, pressing a kiss to Roman throat.

" 'night." Roman said with a hum.

"Sweet dreams." Patton mumbled against the back of Virgil's neck.

"Goodnight." Logan said.

"See you in the morning."
