Prince x Anxiety TRAPPED

(These stories were edited on May 29th, 2018 from its original phrasing. Panic Attack warning.) 


"Really Roman? Do you have to be so much of a showoff that you can't even kill a fu-reaking spider without making a big deal out of it?" Anx asked, noticing dad's look out of the corner of his eye. Not a good idea to swear in front of him.
"Really Anx? Do you have to make a big deal out of everything I do?" Roman mocked, glaring at Anx.
"You're the one who made a big show of it!"
"You're the one pointing it out!"
"You're impossible!"
"You are!"

Prince and Anxiety were always fighting. It was like a bad habit for them both. A bad habit that will get them in trouble.
"I'm tired of their constant bickering!" Logan whispered to dad, who nodded in agreement. Logan pondered for a moment, "I have a plan," Logan muttered to Patton, taking his hand and guiding him to his room.

 He looked around to make sure no one was listening and whispered, "What if we lock them in the walk-in storage closet in the hallway? The one without the shelves? That everyone keeps their worn out clothes?" Logan could see dad's confused look so he guided him down the hallway and to the closet.  It had four boxes in it with the label "clothes" and each one had the assigned person's name.

     "Oh! This will work! But when?" Dad asked, looking to see if either of the two debaters were there. Anx and Roman walked down the hall, arguing about whether or not there were dirty jokes in Disney movies and if they were put there on purpose. "Now!" Logan exclaimed, pushing Virgil in the closet. Patton pushed Roman in and shut the door, making sure to lock it from the outside lock. 

Anx was panicking, he pounded on the door trying to break it. Nobody knew this, but he was terrified of small spaces, not being able to see only made it worse. "Anx, are you ok?" Roman asked nervously. "No, No I'm not. No...walls...closing...in," Anx panted, the room was spinning and he couldn't breathe.

 "Anx, it's gonna be ok! Just Ummm, ugh where is the light?" Roman asked, feeling frustrated and panic creep up on him.  He felt the walls until the lights flickered. He quickly turned the light on and rushed over to where Anx was, wrapping his arms around him in attempt to call him down. 

    Anx was shaking his head, "Can't. Breathe," he whispered, panting. His chest tightened and he tried to focus on Roman's arms around him. 

    "Shh it's ok, just focus on my breathing. It's ok, I'm right here.  Just keep breathing. Good good, you're doing great. Just keep breathing," Roman said, whispering sweet nothings into Anx's ear while playing with his hair in an attempt to calm him down. Soon enough, Anx's breathing returned to normal. Anx just sat there, breathing in slow breaths, backing up every few seconds until he was back against the wall.

   "Anx, are doing ok?" Roman asked, trying to distract him. Anything to not see him in such a terrified state. Roman would never admit it, but it broke his heart to see him like that. 

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just, don't like enclosed spaces," he said with a sigh burring his head into his knees, calming his breaths. 

"Wait a minute, I remember this," Roman said beaming. He looked into his box and grabbed out an old piece of clothing, "accidentally" waving in Virgil's face to try and distract him. "I wore this when we went to Disney World a couple years ago." 

    Anx went over to his box and gasped. "This is where all of my stuff went!" he said in surprise. "My knife sharpener, my pliers, and my guitar tuner, why are they in here?" he took his items out and shoved them into his back pocket.

"Your what?" Roman asked in surprise, "Wait, you play guitar? Why do you need pliers? Why do you need a knife sharpener?" Roman was in shock, what kind of things did Virgil do in his room?

   "You didn't know? I thought Patton told everyone I play the guitar, he was so proud," he scoffed, searching through the box more.

      "You do?! But, what about the knife sharpener?" He asked, this was good, Anx was no longer worried about how small the closet is. He's distracted so Roman was more than happy to keep this conversation going. "But boy oh boy did you miss the feel of holding him," a voice whispered in the back of his head. His eyes went wide with shock, did he really just think that? Was it true? 

    He looked over at Anxiety, who was going through a journal in his box and cringing at whatever it said. When he flipped the page he laughed, oh how Roman loved his laugh, and then blushed at the next bit. He looked at Roman and blushed some more.

    "Is there a problem?" Roman asked, half hearty concerned but mostly curious. What was in there that had the boy more flustered than usual?

"Oh umm no, not at all," he said laughing nervously, fidgeting with the journal in his hand. 

 "Ok?" Roman said, but it was more of a question than a response, "What's the knife sharpener for?" Roman asked, generally interested. 

"For my throwing knives," he said with a shrug. Roman was impressed, played guitar and threw knives?

   "I didn't know you through knives as a hobby, you'll have to teach me," Roman said, knowing Virgil probably wouldn't. It was worth a try, he thought. 

   "Well whoever took my stuff and threw it in here must of, and sure, once we get out of here," Anx looked around in fear, remembering what was happening. 

   Roman went wide-eyed again. "Hey, hey, hey, it's ok! Let's just look through your journal ok?" Roman asked, wrapping his arms around Anx once more and sitting him in lap, crossing his legs, and grabbing the journal. 

  "Yeah, yeah that sounds nice," Virgil said, dozing off. Roman moved so that Anx's head was on his chest and Roman's chin was resting in the crook of Anx's neck. His arms were still wrapped around Anx and he was subconsciously flipping through the journal. Most of it was just stuff that Anx did to make Thomas worried but one of the entries caught his eyes.

 "learned his name today, it's Roman. It fits him beautifully. Why do I have to like him so much? Whatever, he'd NEVER like someone like me. He can't. I make Thomas worried and Roman(god I love that name) calms him down, how would that ever work out?

    A smile formed on Romans lips as he read it, and a rush of excitement flooded through him. Anx liked him, and at that moment Roman knew that he liked him back. 

    He was about to wake Anx up when all of a sudden the door swung open and there stood Patton, staring at the two of them and grinned so big it probably hurt his cheeks. 

    "Logan, I think they get along now!" Patton said happily, pointed at the two cuddled together. Anx stirred, and Roman was not afraid to admit he was terrified. 

 "Oh um, this? Uh," Roman started, trying to find a believable sentence that didn't consist of "um" or "uh." 

    "I was having a panic attack and he calmed me down.  I was exhausted and ended up falling asleep and he let me sleep on him so I didn't go into another one," Anx explained with a yawn, standing up and hurriedly walking out. 

  "Oh uh, yeah! Exactly!" Roman said, excusing himself to chase after Virgil. "He probably went to his room" Roman thought, making his way towards it. He knocked, he felt his stomach drop as he remembers the fact that no one has been in there, was he about to be the first? Everyone thought of it as dangerous and forbidden.

    Anx opened the door slightly and sighed, "I'm sorry I fell asleep on you, happy? I didn't think I'd need to apologize but I did, bye," He was about to shut the door but Roman stopped him and interrupted. 

   "I actually wanted to talk about something else, mind if I come in?" Anx looked confused, but let him in anyways.

    "So while we were going through your journal you feel asleep right?" Roman asked slowly, sitting down on the couch in his room.

 Anx rolled his eyes,"Yes, and your point is?" 

"Well," Roman continued, "I kept looking through it and, do you like me Anx?" Anx went wide-eyed and blushed. 

"Well uh, I. I don't hate you if that what you mean," He trailed off nervously, looking away. 

 "No I mean," Roman moved closer, causing Anx's back to be against the wall, "do you like me, romantically?" 

"Oh umm, I, uh," Anx was completely flustered. Roman just chuckled deeply in response, closing the gap between them with a sweet kiss.
