"Excuse me where is the laundry room" Patton asked a passing servant while holding a bag of his and Virgil's laundry.

The servant turned to Patton surprised and said reaching for the bag "I can take that sir."

"Actually, I prefer to do my own laundry" Patton said quickly then he added "Unless it would mess up the things you are already doing."

The servant was pleasantly surprised and said "No it wouldn't it would actually help me if you would follow me I can show you to the cleaning room." Patton and the servant walked down the hall and through one of the servants stairways. When they arrived at the cleaning room all the workers stopped working and looked at Patton because they had never heard of a contestant going anywhere near them unless they wanted something.

"Sorry don't mind me just popping in to my laundry" Patton said cheerfully before moving to the nearest empty washer. Once the workers realized that Patton really was just there to do his laundry they went back to what they were doing.

"Excuse me why are you doing laundry" One of the newer workers asked before one of the seniors could stop them.

Patton looked up from his clothes and said kindly "Me and Vee split the chores and doing laundry is mine and I didn't want to become lazy while here."

"Oh, if you do laundry what does this 'Vee' do" The boy asked and the others started to listen in as discreetly as possible.

"Vee mostly performs maintenance like the lights and water but he also keeps the bedroom clean" Patton said ticking of fingers.

"Bedroom" One of the other workers said confused,

"Yea our apartment is so tiny there's only one bedroom, one bathroom and the living room/kitchen" Patton explained not noticing the workers shocked looks. The workers got more comfortable around Patton after that knowing he was like them, they were almost sad to see him go. "Bye see you guys later" Patton called making his way back upstairs, unaware that he just gained important allies. As Patton was walking back to his room he collided with a wall, he fell down and his clothes went everywhere and he started to pick them up getting startled when another set of hands started to help him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I thought I ran into a wall are you alright" Patton asked then he looked up and gasped when he saw who it was, "I am so sorry your highness truly I didn't see you please forgive me."

"I am unharmed sweetheart are you alright" Prince Roman said handing Patton the last few pieces of clothing.

Patton blushed a deep red at the pet name but was able to stutter out "I-I'm f-f-fine." Roman smiled at Patton helping him to his feet and insisting that he helped him back to his room. While walking Roman made sure to keep Patton's blush going by complementing Patton on his many qualities. Before they could reach the door, they were almost collided with Virgil as he swung around the corner.

"There you are Pat I've been looking for you are you okay" Virgil rushed out checking Patton for injuries or distress.

"I'm fine Virgil I got caught up in conversation down in the laundry room then I ran into his highness while making my way back" Patton said hugging Virgil knowing Virgil needed to hold him after he gets scared like this.

Roman coughed which caused the two to break apart, Roman kissed Patton's hand gently then said "I shall leave you fair maidens until we meet again" with that he swept out of here in a way only nobles could.

Patton and Virgil looked at each other in silence before Virgil said while raising an eyebrow "So Prince Roman huh."

Patton blushed once more and shoved Virgil playfully while muttering "shut up." That of course didn't dissuade Virgil at all and the rest of journey back to there rooms was spent with teasing each other, unaware of the people staring from out of sight.

"So, he is the contestant you have your eyes on" Remus said totally not staring at Virgil's ass as he walks away.

"Yes, and the more I speak to him the more it grows" Roman said ever the drama queen. "What about you dear brother don't think I don't notice the way you stare at his companion" Roman said smirking.

"Yes, but I'm afraid I many have to kill our friends for him" Remus said sighing dramatically.

"Why not share him I mean Lo and Jan aren't my type but you can't deny their attractive just think our parents would be delighted about the alliance" Roman said and the more he thought about the better the idea became.

Remus saw the gleam in Roman's eyes and quickly said "Hey Ro want to spar maybe your beau will come out and drool over you if he doesn't mind mud covered princes." This snapped Roman out of it, it always does they quickly raced each other to the sparing arena only to be stopped by one of the other contestants.

"Oh, your highnesses I didn't see you there" She lied truthfully, she had been looking for any of the princes since this morning. "I was wondering if you wanted to join me in my room for a while" She said batting her eyelashes.

Before Remus could spit out an insult Roman said "We were about to spar if you wish to join us." The girl brightened at those words never passing up an opportunity to see hot naked men. She quickly followed them out into the common grounds where several contestants were out enjoying the warm afternoon. They quickly noticed the princes and started to crowd the poor royals, it took the twins a couple of tries to get everyone far enough away so they could finally start sparing.

But they were once again interrupted when Queen Natasha came out and called "Boys get in here this instant and explain yourselves!"
