Logan walked grabbing Patton's hand, Thomas was on his chest pocket and he was making sure he was very careful with his movements.

The shrunken guy sat at the end of the pocket, he really hoped Anxiety wouldn’t get mad at him for getting his brother and Patton’s help, he hugged the locket tightly, Logan had gave it to him when they started they way, he said it was better for Thomas to had it in case the fae wanted to try something.

”We're here” said Logan as he stopped walking right in front of the line of flowers.

Thomas stood up and got his head out of the pocket ”I'll continue alone from here”

”No” Logan pressed his hand above the pocket, stoping his brother from moving ”We're in this together, you're not going there by yourself again”

Thomas looked up at him ”Are you sure, I don't want you to end like me”

Patton smiled at him ”that's what family's for kiddo!”

Logan breathed deeply and his grip on his boyfriend's hand tightened ”Here we go then”

Both adults stepped past the flower line, a purple mist could be seen, but this time it affected nobody, the necklace Thomas had on worked as a protection, and since he was on Logan's pocket and he was holding Patton's hand, it worked for the three of them.

”Well, well, well” A voice said between the mist ”What do we have here?” The mist dissipated and a small figure could be seen ”Two humans who are immune to my magic, I wonder why” the fae said sarcastically.

”Hey, I have what you want” said Thomas from the pocket.

Anxiety flew closer to him ”Aww, my little prisoner had to find help, he was too useless to do it alone”

Logan frowned and reached into his pocket to get Thomas out of it ”It doesn't matter, we have the lock, now return him back to normal”

The fae landed next to Thomas on Logan's open palm ”Not so fast, first the lock, then I'll fulfil my part of the deal, put it down”

Thomas did as the fae indicated ”now open it”

”What? No! There's powerful magic stored there! Opening it could be dangerous” said Patton, placing one of his fingers on top of the lock.

”Do you want me to free him or not?” Anxiety said glaring at the human.

Thomas stepped back a bit ”But that wasn't part of the deal...”

The fae turned to hi annoyed ”What?”

”The deal was for me to bring it to you, you didn't say anything about opening or using it”

”And?” The far crossed his arms ”I can't open it, I told you it's magic don't let me, and it's useless like this, and maybe is not part of the deal, but you're in my territory” Anxiety flew closer to Thomas, being an inch above him, looking threatening ”and even if you're free of danger, your two friends are not, so you better open that lock if you want the three of you to return home”

Logan looked at Patton ”It's going to be fine” he said

Patton sighed and got his finger away from the locket, Thomas walked back to it and, with some struggling, he managed to open it.

A red light came out of it and a beam of the same color got shoot to the sky, a red ball of light forming at the end of it a couple of feet over the humans, the light of the ball dissipated and a small figure was anything that was left, another fae.

”Ro!” Anxiety flew to him and hugged him, tears could be seen in his eyes.

He seemed confused and looked around ”I-I'm free...” he slowly hugged back crying ”I'm free” he hugged Anxiety tightly ”I missed you so much Virge”

”You were gone for years Ro... you said you'd be safe, you sa-”

”I know” Ro broke the hug and cleaned the other fae's tears ”But I'm here now Virge”

Anxiety smiled, he cleaned the rest of his tears remembering they were not alone, grabbing Ro's hand, he flew down to be at eye level to the humans ”Thank you”

The three of them were speechless, they weren't expecting a fae to be trapped in the locket ”My grandpa trapped you... all this years, we've been keeping you two apart” said Patton.

Ro flew closer to him ”There was no way for you to know, don't worry, it's not your fault”

”Now” said Anxiety ”Could you leave him in the ground for me to grow you back”

Logan did as the fae ordered and left his hand on the ground, his brother slid down of it, Anxiety and Ro landed next to him ”And again, thanks for everything” he said before trowing a purple dust at Thomas.

This time, when he opened his eyes, he was normal sized again, he felt two pairs of arms hugging him and turned to see his brother and his brother in law.

That day, both Thomas and Virgil were glad to once again on their loved ones arms, feeling their warmt.

Prince and the pauper au

First | Previous | Next

Thomas walked through the halls, he knew both Dee's and his son's room were in this area, he found Remus's room first as the door had a sign the kid had made, the door was half opened and he could hear the conversation inside.

”What happened Remus?” Asked Dee.

”I-I...”

Dee sighed ”I won't get mad, I just want to know what happened”

Remus was silent for a moment ”We were playing outside... I went to the kitchen to grab my linch and when I went back he was no longer there” he sniffed ”I searched everywhere for him... I-I didn't do it on purpose I promise”

”Shh, don't worry” he thought for a moment ”But that doesn't explain how he got back to normal, or why he didn't say anything... something smells fishy about this...”

Without noticing, Thomas leaned on the door and it fully opened, revealing himself.

Dee looked at the teacher “Well, well, well, it seems we have a spy. Do you remember what we do to spies Remus?”

“Spies can’t escape and say what they saw!” He answered cheerfully.

“That’s right” he pet his son’s hair “Then catch him”

Thomas started to run away from the room, he stopped when he felt the ten-year old hugging his legs, he tried to keep walking but having someone hanging from his legs didn’t make it easy “Good job” Dee walked from behind and grabbed Thomas’s shoulder “Now, let’s make this the easy way and no one’s going to get hurt”

Thomas ended being dragged to Dee’s workshop “Tell me Thomas, where did you find Roman?”

“I found him in the way to the neighbour kingd-“

“No” Dee grabbed a bottle from a table “Don’t tell me the story you made up for the king, tell me the truth”

“It is the truth...”

Dee hummed “really?” He walked to the teacher “Do you know what we do to liars?” He pulled Thomas’s hair and grabbed the dropper of the bottle, he managed to stuck it in his mouth and left two drops for him to swallow.

Thomas got apart once Dee stopped grabbing him “What was that?”

“Just a little something to make sure you don’t lie to me again”

Thomas noticed he was eye level with Dee, even if he had always been a couple of inches taller, and he became taller until he was eye level with Dee’s neck “Y-You...”

“Yes, I shrunk you” the adviser used one of his fingers to lift Thomas’s chin “Now tell me the truth, or else” he dangled the bottle in front of the shorter man.

The interrogation didn’t end well, Dee got desperate after the third time Thomas’s refused to tell the truth and emptied the whole bottle on his mouth, and now he was sitting at the corner of a cage, Dee on one side waiting for him to talk, and Remus in the other playing on the table next to the cage.

“You know what, if you don’t want to talk, I’ll find what’s happening by myself, come on Remus, lets live our prisoner alone to think” Dee walked to the door with his son following behind him.

The kid waved to Thomas “bye, bye” he said before closing the door, Thomas knew he couldn’t trust Dee.

Patton and Logan walked with his hands intertwined, Patton often forgot about the situation he was in and let his feelings take over, he became closer to Logan in the last couple of days and he started to fall in love with the prince.

“Ro” said Logan.

Patton didn’t react until a few seconds later, he hummed in response.

Logan stopped walking and stood in front of who he thought was Roman “We’ve known each other for so long, but this last days have been different, I know you’re the same as always, but something feels different. It’s not remotely possible, but I feel like I met a totally different and new side of you”

The grown borrower giggled nervously “Is that bad?”

“No! On the contrary, I like this part of you” Logan let go of the other’s hands and reached into the inner pocket of his vest “I know we’ve been told all our lives that this moment was going to come, but I’m doing it because I truly love you, not because everyone it’s waiting for it, so tell me” he said kneeling in front of Patton and extending to him what he had on his hand, a ring “Roman, would you give me the honor of being your husband?”

Patton was speechless, Thomas told him this was going to happen, but he was kind of hoping Roman had appeared by that time, neither the less, he knew what he had to do, both his head and his heart were telling him to say “Yes, Logan of course I will marry you”

The prince stood up and kissed Patton, this was like their first kiss, passionate but sweet and both men were fully into it, Logan broke the kiss and grabbed Patton’s hand, putting the ring on his finger “It looks perfect on you”

He looked at the ring blushing, for the first time in days, he wasn’t thinking about Roman, he didn’t have to fake, he was showing what he truly felt, and he was trusting Logan his feelings, even if his were for someone else.

Virgil opened one of the secret doors of the tunnels “It’s all clear, let’s go”

“Wait” Roman took his arm before he could get out “Isn’t a way to get to the castle trough the walls?”

The borrower closed the door slightly “If there was one, we wouldn’t be going this way”

“But aren’t borrowers supposed to be a secret and that stuff..?”

Virgil closed the door completely “What’s the matter princey? Are you scared?”

Roman let out a dry laugh and crossed his arm “Me? Scared? Of course not! I just don’t want you to get caught”

The borrower smirked and sat on the floor, leaning on the opposite wall from where the door was “Come here” he said patting the floor next to him.

The prince sat “I’ve done this a million times, it’s totally safe if you’re with an expert”

“I know, it’s just...” Roman sighed “I’m not used to this size, I know I’m going to paralyse when I see someone from the floor, this is all new and weird for me”

Virgil huffed “and you don’t think I’m scared?”

The shrunken human looked at him “weren’t you an expert?”

“I am, but you never know what’s going to happen, or do you think Patton planned his encounter with you?”

“No... I know he didn’t, he was quite scared to say the least”

Virgil smiled “That’s the life of a borrower, you go out to borrow what you need to survive and hope no one notices, I used to have very strong anxiety attacks everyday Patton helped me with them when I met him, I still have them, but they’re less frequent and way more manageable”

Roman smiled at his friend “I guess is not only the size thing, all my life, everyone puts me before them, they all have really big expectations and hopes on me, what would they say if someone managed to capture us, or me at the very least, I din’t make the right choice and got myself shrunk, what kind of leader couldI be when I’m not bigger than an average hand?”

“Roman” the borrower held his hand “I must admit that I don’t know a lot about royalty, but from what I’ve seen this time we’’ve been together, I can tell you’re making your best to fix your mistake, you’re thinking on your kingdom, on the consequences staying like this would have on it, sure, everyone expects the king doesn’t make mistakes in the first place, but knowing how to fix them , from my point of view, it’s a better quality for a ruler”

The prince blushed slightly at the contact “Thank you Virgil”

Virgil winked at him “Whenever you want, can we continue now? At this rate, we can get to the castle tomorrow”

Roman nodded “Let’s go then” they both stood up, his hands never stopped touching each other as they ran out of the walls, Roman was glad he could find help from someone that cared, someone that he could trust.

To be continued...
