Chapter 15

Note: there is quite a bit more kissing in this chapter.

The king and queen looked down at Virgil and the other three as they walked inside the thrown room.

"Who are you, and what is it that has brought you here?" The king asked as he stood up from his throne.

Virgil stopped walking and gulped, glancing back at the other three, who nodded encouragingly, before turning back to the king and queen.

"Er, well, you're majesties," he began. "I don't really know how to put this very well, but um, but I um....I think I might be your son...." he said, blushing bright red as he trailed off, looking away from them.

The king and queen stared at him in shock, before the queen stood up as well and the two of them walked down the stairs to Virgil, who shifted nervously from foot to foot, chewing on his lip anxiously.

The queen stood in front of him, and carefully cupped her hand under his chin, tilting his head up so that he was looking at her.

The two of them both had pale skin, and the same purple-ish eyes, and his dark brown hair almost matched the kings hair color exactly, along with his sharp cheekbones and nose.

"How can we know you're telling the truth?" The queen asked.

"I can tell you everything, what happened to me, where I've been, how I got here..." he said softly, looking at her.

She looked back at him for a few moments before nodding.

"Alright," She said. "We'll hear you out." She said, letting go of his chin before turning to look at the other three.

"Who are they?" She asked.

"Oh," Virgil said. "They're the ones who saved me." He said.

———————

The king and queen called for a light lunch with tea to be served in a small room upstairs that overlooked the kingdom, the room having a large enough table for them all to sit at.

They were sat down and pecking slightly at the food when the king turned to Virgil.

"You said you could tell us what happened?" He said, looking at him curiously.

Virgil chewed on his lip before nodding. "Yes, I can tell you everything." He said.

"Alright, start from the beginning." The queen said after faking a sip of her tea.

Virgil nodded. "As I'm sure you remember you needed to drink a potion from a magic tower in order for both you and your baby to survive," he began. "Well, as it turns out someone had actually found that flower before you, and had been using it to stay young for a very long time," He said. "But then you needed it, and he grew angry when it was taken from him."

"So, he snuck into the castle with the help of a wizard or warlock by the name of Remus, and I to your babies room, where he learned that the magic of the flower still resides within the baby." He explained.
"He tried to take a lock of the babies hair, but it turned from blond to brown after he'd cut it, and it's power was gone, so instead he took the baby and ran away from the castle, out to a secret tower hidden in the forest where he raised the child as his own, using the boy for his own benefit so that he could stay young and healthy forever." He said.

He then began to explained his childhood, how Deceit had taught him to sing the song that made his hair glow, to when he had been given the potion to make his hair stop growing, and how every year on his birthday he'd look out his window and see these floating lights and dream of swing them outside.

He told them how on the day before his eighteenth birthday three men had snuck into his tower, a group of thieves who had stolen the lost princes crown.

He told them about his adventure with the three of them, about how Deceit had found out and followed him, how Virgil had gone to the festival on his birthday and how Deceit had joined up with the Stabbington brothers to arrest Roman, Logan and Patton, and how the two brothers had tried to kidnap and sell him, how Deceit had 'saved him' and taken him home.

He explained how he'd remembered, and how he had confronted Deceit, and then let the other three explain how they'd escaped and raced back to the tower to find Virgil, who then continued to explain what happened after that, with Patton and Deceits fate, and then their quick trip back to the kingdom and to the castle.

Although they did leave out the more Romantic details.

"And now, we're here, talking with you." He finished as he looked at them, chewing on his lip.

"Well, it is a lot to process," the Queen said, "and I would like to take a look at this tower of yours."

"Oh hush love, you knew he was our son from the moment you saw his eyes and this is just you being paranoid." The king said with a wide smile before he stood up and pulled Virgil into a hug, his eyes watering.

"I never thought we'd ever get to see you again," he said. "And here you are, all grown up." He laughed slightly before hugging him tighter, his wife smiling before joining in.

Virgil was surprised at first, before tears welled up in his eyes and he hugged them both back as well, burying his face in the kings- in his father's shoulder.

Roman, Logan and Patton sat there a little awkwardly for a few moments as they waited for the hug to end.

When the newly reunited family separated the king and queen turned to the trio.

"All charges held against you are now terminated," the queen says. "You now each have a clean slate, and any bounty for your head shall be removed."

"You can also stay here in the palace," The king said. "It's the least we can offer as repayment for you returning our son to us." He said.

The three smiled and agreed to stay here in the castle with them, thanking the king and queen many times before hugging Virgil.

The rest of the day was spent with them all exploring the castle or talking with the queen and king, while the news of the lost prince being home spreading like wild fire throughout the kingdom.

It was decided that there was to a be a celebration for his return, much to the young teens embarrassment.

It wasn't until later that night at the four of them got some alone time in one of the large bedrooms they had been offered, none of them quiet comfortable sleeping alone in the castle yet.

Virgil as curled up in Logan's lap, the other male leaning against the headboard of the bed, while Roman lay with his head in Patton's lap, letting the younger male play with his hair.

"Virgil, is this an appropriate time to ask if I may kiss you?" Logan asked as he looked down at Virgil, shifting him so that the smaller male was sitting in his lap but facing towards him, his legs on either side of Logan's waist. "I must admit that I have been struck with the desire to kiss all three of you at least once today while here in the castle while I couldn't." He said, with an almost but not quite pouty look.

Virgil smiled and wrapped his arms around Logan's neck.

"I will gladly accept a kiss now." He said, gently carding his fingers through the hair at the back of Logan's head.

Logan smiled and took of his glasses before leaning forward and capturing Virgil's lips in a loving kiss as he wrapped his arms around the smaller male.
He slowly pushed him down as they continued to kiss until Virgil's back was pressed against the mattress with Logan above him, the two of them still kissing one another sweetly.

Virgil hummed softly as he opened his eyes a little to look up at him, before glancing over at Parton and Roman, who where both watching with flushed cheeks, which in turn made him blush a darker shade of red.

Logan pulled away after a few seconds, pressing their foreheads together instead as they both panted softly.

"Will you tell your parents about your relationship with us?" Logan asked as he opened his eyes look look down at him.

Virgil nodded. "Yes," He said softly. "But not yet, I don't want to overwhelm them or anything, it's already a lot to take in as it is." He added.

Logan nodded and pulled away a little bit. "Okay," he said softly.

"Now, I do believe there is someone else who wants a kiss from you if you are willing." Logan said with a smile.

Virgil looked over, and saw Roman there gently reaching out to card his fingers through Virgil's hair.

"I would indeed like a turn, if it is alright with you." Roman said as Logan shifted backwards to give them a bit more room.

Virgil smiled up at him and sat up as he nodded.

"I'd love another kiss." He said softly, before squealing softly in surprise as Roman gently yet quickly pulled him into his lap.

"Thank goodness." Roman mumbled, and began pressing kisses to his jaw, his check and to the corner of his mouth before actually kissing him on the lips, holding Virgil in his lap as close as he could without making him uncomfortable.

Virgil hummed softly and closed his eyes, but not before catching a glance of Logan pressing gentle kisses to Patton's neck.

Virgil reached up and wrapped his arms around Roman, kissing him for a few seconds before pulling away from the kiss, panting softly.

He then smiled and laughed lightly as Roman began to yet again press light and slightly ticklish kisses to his jaw, but this time he then moved down to kiss at his neck, and then the spot bellow Virgil's ear, and then down to where he could feel Virgil's pulse hammering beneath his lips, before finally getting down to where his collarbone was, before kissing his way back up again, this time stopping after kissing his forehead.

He pulled away slowly and look at Virgil, who was blushing brightly and smiling at him lovingly.

"Do you think he have time for one more kiss before bed?" Patron asked as he wrapped his arms around Virgil from behind.

Virgil laughed softly and turned around so that he was facing Patton.

"Of course," He said as he cupped both of Patton's cheeks in his hands before kissing him sweetly.

He looked over to Logan and Roman, and saw the two in a similar position to the one Logan and him had been in while they'd kissed, just with Logan on his back with Roman above him. He watched as they broke their kiss and Roman immediately moved down to press kisses to Logan's neck, making the older teen flush beet red.

Virgil turned his attention back to Patton, and began to gently rub his cheek with his thumb as he continued to kiss him, closing his eyes and feeling like he was melting as he continued to kiss Patton.

They eventually pulled away from one another, and just sat there together for a few minutes before gently letting each other go.

Virgil carefully slipped out of the bed and went around the room, turning out all the lights slowly as the other three got comfortable on the bed and waited for him.

When he was done he carefully slipping under the covers and wrapped his arms around Patton, snuggling close to him.

He looked up and saw Logan being held by Roman as the two snuggled, Logan and Patton holding hands.

"Goodnight guys." Virgil mumbled before burying his face in Patton's hair.

"sweet dreams." Patton mumbled sleepily.

"Sleep well." Logan said as he reached forward and took Patton's glasses off, seeing as the other male had forgotten to.

"See you in the morning." Roman said with a yawn before shifting and holding Logan tighter.

The four of them quickly fell asleep after that, ready and waiting for what tomorrow would bring.

The end
