TW: Talk of murder
"I'm bored!" Remus complained. Right now, Janus, Roman, Virgil and him were looking for more mushrooms and any other kind of food. While the mushrooms have helped with the food rations, they still needed more.
"The basket is almost full, once we find more food we'll head back home," Roman said.
"But we haven't found anything in hours!"
"He's right," Janus agreed. "We've been out for awhile, we should start heading home before we get lost."
"We won't get lost," Roman told them.
"Yeah, we'll freeze to death before that happens," Virgil said, shivering hard. "I hate winter."
The prince sighed, "Fine, we'll head back. Hopefully others have found more than us."
"Yes! Time to go home!" Remus cheered. "Then we'll get warm and get dinner."
"Sounds nice," Janus said.
Virgil made sure to walk close to Roman as the fairy helped carry the basket they had. "We're going to be okay, Roman," he said. "Food might be scarce, but more mushrooms and roots will grow during the season."
"You're right," Roman agreed. "I'm just worried about the colony."
"For now, we're not going to starve," Janus told him. "Later in the season, we'll figure something o-" The yellow fairy cut himself off and put a hand up, slowing down slightly before sneezing hard.
"Oof, looks like someone's getting sick," Remus commented.
"I only sneezed because of the cold, you know how I get in winter."
"Yeah, you get sick."
"I'm not getting sick!"
"Don't worry, Patton will know how to help you best since he works with the healers! You have three boyfriends to take care of you!"
"You won't need to take care of anyone because I'm not getting sick!"
"I mean, I'm not usually the one that takes care of you. I usually just hang out with you to keep you entertained. Logan and Patton are the ones who know what to do."
Roman laughed, "I'm glad I don't have a boyfriend to be like that with."
"Oh please!" Janus shouted.
"If Virgil got sick you would be even worse!" Remus continued for him.
The crowned prince felt his face heat up. "I would not!"
"Yeah you would," Virgil agreed.
"Get sick and I'll prove you wrong!"
"Ouch, you want me to get sick?"
"Don't twist my words! I don't want you to get sick!"
"Because you care about me too much."
Roman growled. "Stop using my words against me!"
Virgil laughed, "Start using better words!"
"Or better yet, just stop talking completely," Janus suggested.
"Maybe I will!" Roman shouted.
"Maybe? Guess that means you won't," Remus remarked.
"Why are you three so mean to me?"
"Aw, we love you, princey," Virgil teased.
The prince pouted and continued to fly in silence as the others laughed for a bit.
