My Knight in Shining Armor

“Patrick Kane? As in the man-whore who was captured by Taylor to lead Jonathan into a trap?” Tyler questions, disgustedly.

Patrick shakes his head and scrambles to his feet. “Not a man-whore...try looking at yourself before you accuse ME of such a term. But I’m sorry, I apologized to Jonathan and everything. But as I seem to recall, you’re a total bitch!” He presses against the bars of his cage.

Val groans and sits up, holding his head. “Mean Brad. I hurt.”

“Tyler, you’re so far away!” Jamie complains. “Where are you baby?”

Patrick whips around to see Jamie, pressed against the bars in the cell two down from him, looking sad. He has gotten the rope off of his wrists and is gripped the bars, his head hung low. He is in his jester costume still and the blond prince is puzzled.

“Jamie, I miss you too!” Tyler shouts. “I need you!”

Patrick turns back to him, seeing the poor brunette struggling with the bondage. He reaches out between the bars and attempts to touch Tyler’s arm. Tyler stops and looks at him with worried brown puppy-dog eyes. They seem to plead, “help me, please.” Patrick looks at Val, who pushes the pain he feels to the side and crawls over to the other side of his cell. The blond squire pulls the knot to the ropes and frees Tyler’s hands.

Tyler gawks at him, unable to do anything. Val crawls back to the corner to hold his head and moan. Patrick blinks as Tyler finally straightens up, fixing his crown in place.

“Are we good?” Patrick asks.

“Thanks. Yeah, we’re good, Patrick.” Tyler dips his head. “I’m sorry I called you a man-whore. It wasn’t your fault. This is ALL mine. Everything is MY fault.” The brunette covers his face with his hands and sobs. “I’m such a stuck-up bastard!”

Patrick nods and leans against the bars, trying to rack his brain for words to say.

“Tyler,” Jamie calls out. “You’re a beautiful man. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Everything will be okay.”

“No it won’t. I’ve hurt everyone. If it wasn’t for me, Jonathan would still be here, you and I could be living together. Everything would be great. I mean, I still care about him...hurting him was never the plan. Yes, I didn’t love him 100%, but I never wanted him to die!”

“Tyler Seguin, I forgive you,” a weak, monotonic voice sounds from somewhere far away.

Tyler spins to see Jonathan in the chains, weak and defeated. He barely lifts his head up and doesn’t make eye contact with him at all. The young man gasps and throws his hands over his mouth. He rushes across his cell to look at his ex-lover. “Jonathan...I…”

Jonathan lifts his head up a little more. He looks into Tyler’s soft, teary brown eyes. “It’s okay, Tyler. I’ll be fine. So, the Jester...you two are in love?”

“Yeah. I’m sorry Jonathan. I really am. I never wanted to hurt you.” Tyler looks down at his feet.

“And yet...you did. You hurt me big time Tyler. If you’d just told me, I would have been fine with that. But you strung me along and then you broke my heart in the worst way possible.” The Knight jerks at the chains on him once before he heaves a heavy sigh.

“I know. I’m sorry. I was blind. I was so stubborn, wanting wealth and not love. Then I realized Taylor was the same way. She wasn’t really in love with me...it was all revenge based. I tried to escape but...she broke me...and then Jamie came.” Tyler looks behind him in the direction of where Jamie is. He looks longingly in the direction. “Jamie showed me love and I was given a second chance. When I heard you’d been captured, I really wanted to help you out...but I was pushed to the edge and...oh, I’m so sorry.”

“I understand. I forgive you, Tyler. I’m glad you are happy and truth is, I fell in love with another person too.” Jonathan turns his head to the side.

Tyler cocks his head. “You did?”

“The blond.”

“Your squire!?”

“No...the curly blond.”

Tyler looks back again. He meets Patrick’s soft blue ones. The prince from Valencia is comforting Val once again, who is still in pain. “Patrick? Patrick Kane?”

“Prince Patrick Timothy Kane Jr. of Valencia,” Jonathan states. “His eyes are bluer than the sky and his hair, curler than a girl’s hair. His hands, softer than any person alive…” He sighs and smiles fondly. “He has the heart of a Disney Princess and the mind of a...he’s so dreamy. I never knew true, real love until him, actually.”

Tyler smiles as well. “Well, I’m happy for you.” He combs his hair with his hand. “You two do make a really cute couple together.”

“Thanks,” Jonathan says. “And I’m happy you found true love with Jamie. You both are a good couple as well.”

“So how are we getting out of here?” Tyler asks. “Surely the mighty Knight, Jonathan Toews, has a plan?”

Jonathan shakes his head. “I’m sorry, I don’t. I’m not sure what’s going on anymore. I’ve tried to break these chains...but I can’t...sooner or later we will be dragged to our deaths. I keep trying to have hope...but nothing is right anymore.”

Tyler grabs the bars tightly in his hands and screws his face up into a stern look. “Jonathan Bryan Toews, I once knew this brave knight, who could handle ANYTHING. Get up and be that brave knight I once fell in love with!”

“Forget it, Tyler. I’ve tried.”

Tyler spins around and see Val, Patrick and Patrick’s parents all watching him. He can only guess that Jamie is hearing him and trying to see him. He dramatically raises his arm to his head and gasps. “But Jonathan, you’ve got to get us out!”

Patrick nods and gets to his feet. He walks to the side of his cell and peers across Val’s, to Tyler’s cell. “I have faith in you too, Jonny.”

Then Patrick launches into a song:

“I thought I’d never knew,
I’d end up in the dungeons with you.
My life would no longer be so blue,
If I didn’t have to share it with you.
But I don’t have a view
Of your beautiful face, my Boo.”

He works the bars like a dancer, getting lost in the song. He looks up at the ceiling, blinking and sings:

“Don’t worry there is hope,
We’ll get through this and we’ll cope.
We’ll get out of this just fine
And we can be together to write our love shrine.”

“I've fallen in love with you,
To get you is a chance that is very new.
(If only I can have you so)
I’ve fallen in love with you,
It's a secret that is so true.
(If only I can have you so)
I've fallen in love with you,
I dream of you with me sharing a kiss again.
(If only I can have you so)
I've fallen in love with you,
Nothing can't beat your beautiful grin.”

Jonathan yanks at the chains, filled with a sudden and unexpected strength inside of him. He manages to break the chains off of him and he gets to his feet, shocked at his strength. He looks up and sees Tyler grinning at him.

“You did it!” Tyler exclaims, clapping his hands.

Jonathan runs to the bars and peers out. He tries to look for Patrick. “Patrick! Patrick!?”

“I’m here, Jonny. I’ll always be here!” a response comes from the blond prince.

Jonathan continues trying to find him, before he launches into song:

“If only I could see your face,
I’d look into your gorgeous blue eyes.
And I wouldn’t feel so alone.
Even as these chains restrain me,
They can’t take away my aching heart.
I finally know where I belong and I want
To spend every last day of my life with you.”

“I've fallen in love with you,
To get you is a chance that is very new.
(If only I can have you so)
I’ve fallen in love with you,
It's a secret that is so true.
(If only I can have you so)
I've fallen in love with you,
I dream of you with me sharing a kiss again.
(If only I can have you so)
I've fallen in love with you,
Nothing can't beat your beautiful grin.”

Both of them sing out in unison, filling the dungeons in harmony:

“No one can tell us we can’t be together,
No one can force us to not love each other
And no one can truly pull us apart.
Our hearts beat as one,
Yours and mine.
I’ll be with you until the end of time.”

Jonathan sings out as he pushes on the barred door to his cell, finding it once again unlocked:

“Just your golden curls
And your blue eyes,
Shining back happiness like an American Calvin Klein.”

The knight unlocks Patrick’s door and walks into the cell, scooping the blond into his arms in a big embrace. Patrick smiles and clasps his hands around Jonathan’s neck.

Patrick sings out:

“Just your thick brown hair
And your amber brown eyes
Shining back glory and fame into mine.”

They let go of each other and Patrick grabs Jonathan’s hands into his own. They gaze into one another’s eyes.

“Patrick Timothy Kane Jr. of Valencia,
I think that I love you!”

“Jonathan Bryan Toews,
I love you too!”

They share a passionate kiss with each other. Then Jonathan pushes Patrick backward, pinning him gently against the bars, while continuing to make out with him. The blond lets him, running his fingers through the Knight's hair. Tyler, Jamie, Val and Patrick’s parents all watch them.

“God, I’ve missed you, Patrick,” Jonathan manages, between kisses.

“I can see that. But maybe you should save everyone first, then we can make out and you can ravish me to your heart’s content?” Patrick chuckles.

Jonathan jerks back and nods. “You’re right! Once again, no one will die here. I won’t let it happen!” There is a twinkle of hope once more in his eyes. He takes Patrick’s chin into his fingers and looks into his baby blues. “I promise, no one’s separating us. I won’t leave you ever again.”

Patrick smiles at him. “I know you won’t.” He gets up on his tip-toes and smashes his lips against Jonathan’s again. Then he backs off with a flirtatious wink. “There’ll be more of that later on.”

Jonathan looks at Tyler. “Alright, here’s the plan--”

He is cut off however by a familiar voice. He spins around to see Brad Marchand standing in the center of the room on the platform. He is smirking. Patrick screams in fright and throws his arms around Jonathan’s waist.

“So, the brave Knight escaped the chains...turns out Taylor and I underestimated your strength...and apparently your love for the little blondie.” Brad steps off the platform and comes to the cell where Jonathan and Patrick are.

“You’re not going to touch Patrick Kane. If you do, I’ll run you through with a sword!” Jonathan flashes his teeth at the guard and holds his ground, blocking his path to the blond prince, cowering behind him.

“Ooh, threats.”

“I mean it, Brad!” Jonathan snaps.

Brad laughs again, but then he shakes his head. “I’m not going to hurt him. Not anymore. Believe it or not, I’m actually here because...I’m gonna help you all out of here.”

Jonathan looks back at Patrick. They are in shock, unsure what to say or do.

Notes

Tyler spins around and see Val, Patrick and Patrick’s parents all watching him. He can only guess that Jamie is hearing him and trying to see him. He dramatically raises his arm to his head and gasps. “But Jonathan, you’ve got to get us out!” - THIS XP The mental image is hilarious! X)
Tyler Seguin's character in this is just....wow.
