Prompt: Flower shop x Tattoo shop

“Petal to the metal” was a small but popular flower shop ran by Patton and Remus. They would later hire Remus’ brother and Patton’s boyfriend Roman to help them run it. With business being at an all time high they needed the extra help. 

Patton took care of the plants, Remus ran the finances and Roman did the customer service. Despite seeing each other everyday at work they also hung out on days that the shop was closed.

This particular day they had off Remus and Roman were trying to convince Patton to get a tattoo. Just a small one right behind his ear. “Come onnn Pattyy it won’t even hurt.” Remus whined. Not that he knew what he was talking about he had 0 tattoos, Remus only had piercings he did himself. “Darling you always wanted to do cute couple things, what's cuter than getting matching tattoos!” Roman boosted excitedly, “I guess you're right. One behind my ear won’t hurt that bad right?” “Right. I even looked it up, it's one of the spots where you feel the least amount of pain.”

Patton had settled on getting a red and gold shield behind his right ear and Roman was getting a Blue heart behind his left ear. Remus didn’t want to feel left out and was also getting a tattoo. 

The three men walk into the shop and Remus’ stops in his place. In front of him is the most handsome man he’s ever seen. The abrupt stop had Roman walking into him. “Excuse you.” Before Roman could ask why Remus had stopped all of a sudden the man at the front desk started talking. 

“Hello and welcome to my tattoo shop. How can I help you?” Roman shoved Remus out of the way and went to the front desk. “Yes, me and my boyfriend were going to get a tattoo.” “Okay what did you have in mind?”

As Roman and the cute man kept talking about details regarding their tattoos. But Remus was only thinking about how beautiful his voice sounded. Remus decided right then and there that he was going to get that man's number. At that moment Remus realized the attention was on him. “Huh?” The man at the front desk rolled his eyes. “Are you getting a tattoo too” “Only if you're doing it for me” said with a wink. The man snorted, “Sure. What do you want/” Remus leaned on the counter. “A tattoo of your number” Remus gave the man finger guns. The man at the front desk just gave a breathy laugh. “Now do you actually want one or not?” Remus decided he would stop wasting time and give the front desk man a break. “Yes I would like a BIG ASS OCTOPUS TATTOO!!” 

“A big ass octopus tattoo?”

“A big ass octopus tattoo?”

“A big octopus tattoo?”

“Yes! On my back!!” Remus responded to the three confused people in the room. The front desk man smiled “Sick. I will definitely do that for you. By the way I don’t think I introduced myself. My name is Virgil.” “A beautiful name for a beautiful man. I’m Remus.” He started with a small bow at the end. “I’m Patton!” “And I’m Roman. And I’d like to apologize for my brothers behaviors.” Virgil just laughed in response.

“Nice to meet you all. With Remus’ tattoo I’ll probably be seeing you all for the next couple of months.” The three set up their appointment and were getting ready to leave when Virgil stopped Remus. “Oh and Remus?” “Yes?” Virgil grabs his hand and writes his number on it . “It's not a tattoo but I think that works for now”

TW: Nothing

Prompt: music

Remus was relaxing in his room when he decided to listen to some music on his record player. No song specifically, he just wanted to hear it play. He got off his bed and grabbed a random record off his shelf. He put the record on, quite aggressive, then let it play.

Just as it starts Virgil rises up into his room. And as soon as he hears the music his face scrunches up in discuest “You can make an endless amount of things yet you created and use this god awful record player.” Virgil listened to the music play, then skip, then play, then go static, then play, then skip, then seconds of just silence. And the worst part is there was no pattern. It was just a bunch of random noise.

Remus had begun dancing to the music, spinning on his tippy toes as he made his way over to his boyfriend. “You just have no taste in music, Ve” Remus reached for Virgil and pulled him close as he scoffed. “Music? This is hardly music. It's just noise.” “That's all music is my expired fruit.” Virgil rolled his eyes but leaned into Remus’ embrace.

Remus began swaying to the music then he said “Dance with me emo!” “Dance? To this? It has no rhythm.” “That's what makes it fun!” Remus replied then proceeded to spin the other side outward then bring him close again with his back to Remus chest. Virgil laughs lightly and lets Remus spin him a bunch of times as they sway to the absolute nothingness. At some point they start jumping and twisting like children. And it is a lot of fun.

By the time the song ends the two are out of breath, red, and smiling like maniacs.

TW: Nothing that I could think of but let me know

Prompt: Fantasy

Remus dove and dived through plants and maybe some people as he flew but he had to. He was in a rush. And if Remus wasn’t always like this maybe he would’ve knocked some people down or worse disrupted preparation for the upcoming season. But all of the fairies were used to his recklessness. Simply moving out of the way with a kind greeting or a roll of their eyes.

As Remus continued his reckless flying he reached his destination. To bother the newest Tinker fairy Virgil. So when Remus came zooming at point black range Virgil didn’t move quick enough.

“Emoo” “Remus!” The two yelled as they crashed into each other. Virgil's latest attempt at an invention being destroyed in the process. Virgil groaned then shoved Remus off of him.”Remus… You ruined my invention! What are you even doing here? Shouldn’t you be getting ready?” Remus while still on the ground just whined. “Yeah but I’m bored and I’m sick of working. I need a break.”

“A break? You can’t take a break if you haven’t done anything.” Virgil teased. Remus took offense to that and gasped out “Excuse you I’ve done my work! I just finished a ton of snowflakes! Twice my daily amount!” Virgil gave Remus a look. Virgil may have been here less than a year but he’s heard from other fairies, specifically Roman, that Remus always tries to get penis shaped snowflakes through. “Were they approved Remus?” And Remus scoffed. “Were they approved? Not the point”

Remus then shot up like a rocket suddenly remembering why he was there in the first place. “Spider come with me!” Virgil picking his stuff up annoyedly asked “Where to now Duke” Remus leaned in close to Virgil’s ear and whispered, “I found an abandoned human house nearby.” Virgil's eyes went wide. “Near here? to us?”. “Yes! Well near where I stay but it's still closer than the mainland!!” Remus was basically fluttering with joy at this point.

“So when do we go?” Virgil asked. “Now.” “Wait like right now? Remus I can’t leave now! We’ll get caught” Remus put his arm around Virgil's shoulder. “Relax emo. Tell Patty Pat you’re gonna be working at your own place for the rest of the day, drop your stuff off, fly the long way to mine, then boom we're out” Virgil still looked hesitant. “Everyone will be too busy to even notice we're gone, plus we’ll be back by dinner.” Virgil huffed, “Fine let's do it. But if we get caught it's full blame on you.” Remus was practically glowing. He took Virgil's hand and shook it aggressively “Deal!” And with that Remus took off.

It took Virgil a minute but Remus' plan worked. Virgil left and Patton barely suspected a thing. He made it to Remus’ without running into any fairies so no one would even know he was there. This might just work. The thought that he would get to see his first human home had Virgil feeling like there were a thousand butterflies flying in his stomach while it also collapsed in on itself.

When Virgil made it to Remus house Remus wasted no time rushing out and dragging Virgil along. “Duke!” “No time can be wasted, fly faster.” It only took 20 minutes of Remus dragging Virgil to their destination but they made it.

And it was worth every second.

A giant spruce wood cabin stood before them. It was clearly old with dark green vines climbing up the side of it, and fluffy moss in every nook and cranny. Some of the wood had been cracked, other parts had completely fallen off, leaving holes in the roof and the door leading inside was hanging off its hinges. But it was the prettiest thing Virgil had ever seen.

“Isn’t it cool!” Remus mused. “Cool? It's amazing! How did you even find this place?” “ Well…” Remus started, “The other day I was hiding from double de after making auns shaped snowflakes and stringing them on his door. And I just ran into it. Literally! I ran face first into the side of it! I’m sure if we look you could still see the blood that came from my nose! Because it was a LOT. I mean it was just gushing like-” “Okay I get it! Let's just go inside”

Virgil and Remus rush inside and start to look around. It was a one room one bathroom cabin. Everything in site had dust on it, there was even dust in the air. The room had a twin sized bed with a torn up pillow. There was a small kitchen set up in the corner and a desk opposite of it.

“It's beautiful here,” Virgil exclaimed. Remus, whose eyes went immediately to the stove asked “Hey you think if I turned that on it’ll explode?” “Remus if you destroy this place I’ll never forgive you” Remus let out a long sigh “Fineee. But only because you said so'' Remus said with a wink.

Virgil went looking at the desk while Remus went towards the bed. Virgil Flew to the top of the desk. On it was a sketchbook, some pens, and scattered pieces of paper. The wall above it had pictures of flowers, birds, other forest animals, and some were of the sky. Virgil turned his attention back to the sketch book. He made several attempts to blow off all the dust but eventually his face went rose pink due to the lack of oxygen. Eventually Virgil just took the edge of the page and flew up and down to get the dust off. And he was successful.

The page was covered in beautiful drawings of a bird, which Virgil would later learn in a blue jay thanks to Patton. On the next page there were more sketches of trees. “This is amazing, Duke come look at this!” Virgil called out, “Duke?” … “Remus?” Virgil turned back towards the bed where Remus was but the winter fairy was nowhere to be seen. Virgil's anxiety spiked. “Remus! If you’re hiding this isn’t fukcing funny!” Virgil flew over to the bed and began looking around. Just as he looked in front of the pillow Remus pounced on Virgil and used the feather in his hand to tickle him. Virgil let out a scream then started laughing. “Fuck! Stop! Virgil beged between gasps while Remus was giggling like the maniac he was.

Virgil somehow got loose and began flying away. “I’m gonna get you” Remus sang then proceeded to chase him around the cabin. Remus, to Virgil's demise, was faster and eventually caught up, Remus tackled Virgil and the two fairies went plumiteding to the ground, They landed with a loud thud.

Virgil landed with a hiss while rubbing his head. Remus had of course landed right on top of him. “Remus…” “Sorryyy” he replied and then they both stopped. They’re faces were centimeters apart. The dust the disrupted when they fell floated around them, and the sun gave off a warm golden glow. Light blush dusted both of their faces. They stayed like that for a while just staring at one another. Virgil would never admit it but Remus eyes were his favorite shade of green, he felt like he could stare at them for hours.

Remus would proudly and quite loudly admit that Virgil's eyes were the prettiest but his lips were what Remus liked the most about the emo fairy. They were peach pink and looked soft like “a plump ass cheeks” as Remus would put it.

Virgil would’ve stayed there all day until he realized that the golden light ment dusk. Which meant it was time for dinner and they were to be late and most likely caught. Virgil gasped “Remuswe have to go like now!” Remus looked out of one of the holes in the ceiling and his eyes went wide. “Goddammit'' He grabbed one of Virgil's hands and the two flew back home. It wasn’t until they got to dinner and Roman pointed out that they were holding hands that they let go. But for the rest of the night both fairies had a smile on their faces even as they went to sleep.

A/N: This was supposed to be a part of the Dukexiety week thing but I took WAY too long so now I’m just posting them as one shots. But Thank you for reading! Whether you liked it or not let me know!

Summary: Just some KriBaku fluff

Word count: 551

TW: Cussing

Prompt: “Lets get you home your freezing and I don’t want you catching a cold”

“i - um can I hold your hand?”

“Don’t you dare throw that snowball at-... Goddammit”

“It's too damn cold for this shit” Bakugou said, burying his head farther into his scarf. “What don't you like the winter time?” Kirishima asked. “ I don’t mind it but this feels like a straight up blizzard.”

Kirishima had begged Bakugo earlier that day to go out with him. Not for anything specific just to “Get into the Christmas spirit” Kirismia had said. And how could Bakugou say no? Kirishima was so excited he half expected to see a wagging tail behind him. Besides Bakugou couldn’t say no to Krishima even if he wanted to especially now that they’re dating.

Date…

OH SHIT WAS THIS A DATE!?!

Bakugou's head begins to race. This was all so new to him he had never been in a relationship before. Who's to say he was doing it right? Should he have dressed nicer? Or at least worn a nicer coat? Did Krishima even consider this a date?

“KATSUKI”

Bakugous snapped back into reality. ‘Shit’ he thought, he must’ve spaced out. “Everything okay Kat?” Bakugou flushed a bit and scoffed he would never get used to that nickname. “Yeah I’m fine, just spaced out a little that's all.”

Bakugou didn’t see but Krishima smirked a little, “Well maybe I should bring you back into reality.” Krishmia said while scooping down to grab some snow in his hand. “Oh yeah and how are you gonna- DON’T YOU DARE THROW THAT SNOWBALL AT M-” Bakugou’s sentence got cut short as the snow ball hit his face. Kirishima started dying and laughing that infectious laugh of his. He was practically clutching his gut he was laughing so hard.

“Oh you little shit. You’re gonna pay for that!!” Bakugou said now starting to make his own snowball. “Wait no! Lemme catch my breath” Kirishima begged but Bakugou had no mercy and threw a snowball at him which landed on Krishimas neck and went down his coat when he stood up. “Thats evil man!” “Well that's what yo-” Another snowball hit him in the face.

And thus the start of the snowball fight.

The couple spent 2 hours throwing snowballs at one another and just playing and laughing like children. It wasn’t until Kirshima gave in, because he knew Bakigou never would, that the fight ended.

“Alright! I give in! I surrender” Kirshima yelled while trying to catch his breath. “Ha damn right you did!” Bakugou said equally out of breath. “Yeah I can barely feel my hands so lets maybe cut this trip short?” “You didn’t wear gloves!?! Bakugou yelled and rushed over to Kirishima and grabbed his hands to feel how cold they were. Kirshima of coursed turned red at the jester.

“Let's get you home, you're freezing and I don’t want you catching a cold” Bakugou said but then realized how red Krishima was and why and backed up while also turning red. Bakugou turned around and started heading back toward the dorms with Kirishima following behind him.

There were a few minutes of them walking in slightly uncomfortable silences before Kirhsima cleared his throat. “Hey Kat?” “Yeah?” “ i - um can I hold your hand?” “yeah sure whatever.” Bakugou mumbled and Kirishima beamed.

And they spent the rest of the walk to the dorms holding hands. Whether this was a date or not it was 100% successful.

Deceit’s POV

“You stupid bitch!” My father yelled at me. “Please stop!” The words flow out my mouth without a choice. My father cursed at me again, dropping his cigarette out of his mouth, when he got an idea. “You keep fucking up. Maybe I should try burning this shit into your skull” I give a confused look but my eyes go wide as he pulls out his lighter. “W-Wait dad please I didn’t mean to break the dish wait!” I start to crawl backwards but I don’t get far. He grabs my ankle and pulls me closer. I squirm and fight. I feel him pin me to the ground. I keep fighting, I keep screaming. “No! NO! STOP!” I feel the heat get closer to my face until it burns. 

I let an ungodly scream, it echoes through the house. “STOP IT HURTS”. 

I don’t move, I can’t move.

I feel the lighter go around my right eye. I don’t know how long it is there but when it leaves I let out a sigh of relief and a sob. My voice is hoarse from all the screaming I did. I lay on the floor holding myself sobbing. My dad is long gone by now. 

“De?”  Patton. 

My eyes shoot up to him. “Patton.” He knees down to me and pulls me into a hug. “Your alright, your safe I’m here” His words are soothing and calming. He’s right. We are no longer in my house, just in a bright white room. “Patton, you’re here,” My eyes tear up, which is weird since I was already crying.  His hold felt so warm, so safe. But then suddenly there's a force it knocks me over and sends Patton flying across the room. My head and ears ring. I get up, but I feel dizzy. I see Patton laying face up on the ground, so far that I can make out many details. 

“P-Patton..” I attempt to run over to him but when I look down at him he’s on a hospital stretcher, with a white blanket laying just at his collar bone. His face is scared with cuts and dried blood runs down. 

 “Patton No.. please, don’t leave me” 

“I’m so sorry” A faint quiet voice says from behind me.

I fall to my knees in a fit of sobs.

Then shoot up in my bed sweating with tears streaming down my face. I look at the time. ‘It’s 5 am…’  I sigh, get out and get out of bed. I pick up the picture of you and kiss it. ‘Good Morning Pat’, I walk into and get a glass of cold water, I wouldn't need to do this if you were here with me. I can’t calm myself down anymore, I’m always on edge.

I finished my drink then walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I trace the scar over my eye. I hate this scar with every fiber in my body. A reminder of what he did to me will stay with me forever, and will affect me forever. I get a chill, you always loved my scar I never saw why…  

I sigh and get into the shower. I let the warm water soak my skin. I linger in the shower a bit too long, then get dressed and get out of the house. ‘If I leave now I shouldn't be too late’ I think but when I reach the door I freeze. My hand lingers over the handle, I haven’t been in this car since our last date, I couldn’t bear it, I didn’t dare get it fixed until recently… Now I’m just supposed to drive in it? I wonder if you called for me when you died here… I wonder if you could even think anything before you died… I take a deep breath and open the door. I drive in silence leaving me to my thoughts.

I got to work and the day dragged on. I had a ton of work to catch up on and got yelled at for being late. I used to love my job but I just don’t have the motivation. I feel mentally and physically exhausted by the time I get off work. I get into the car as fast as I can, I want to go home and just sleep this whole day off. But my head gets foggy and I start crying. I can’t do this, not without him. What’s the point in life anymore? What am I supposed to do without him in my life. 

I sit there crying for a few minutes but I eventually get a grip and stop crying. I feel numb. I start to drive home. I’m not really think while driving, just driving. I feel like I’m sprvation my own actions. I don’t know when I started speeding up but by the time I did I was going 75mph.

And I didn’t plan on stopping.

I couldn’t even hear anything anymore, I just felt myself going faster and faster until…

I flew

There was a ringing in my ears..

Then everything was loud. Too loud. And painful, everything was moving so fast I couldn’t even keep track of what was happening. Then there was darkness and nothing.

No sound. No light. No feeling. Just tasteless nothing. Until there was something, it sounded like…

Crying?

Little by little I start to feel again. I open my eyes and look in the direction from where the crying was coming from.

It’s you.

“Patton!”

TW: Death, Suicide, abuse, angst 

A/N: This is a Moceit one shot split into two parts so it wasn’t too long. Please tell me if you think I missed any TW. I accidentally kept Janus name as Deceit when I wrote this because this is an old idea.

Patton’s POV

The day started off as usual, you getting out of bed at 5 am sweating tears streaming down your face from the nightmare you had the night before. You sigh, give me a kiss and walk into the kitten to drink  a glass of cold water, it always helps calm you down more than I ever could. 

After finishing your drink you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror and your hands trace the outer line of the burn scar that your father gave to you. I wonder if that's what your nightmare was about or was it something else? I give you a hug from behind and a kiss on your neck because I know how much you like it but it doesn't do much. You still have the look of utter disgust in your eyes and your hand is still by your scar but not quite touching it. 

You snap out of whatever thoughts you were in and take a shower. “If you keep this pace up you won’t make it to work on time” but my words fall deaf on your ears, they always do. Eventually you make it out the house with just enough time to get to work but as you reach the car your hesitate to get in it. Your hand lingers over the handle and your eyes show that you're in deep thought. ‘The car was newly repaired. Anyone would get nervous driving a newly repaired car’ I think to myself. You stand there for about five minutes before getting in the car and driving to work. “You're going to be late” I say but I don’t get a response from you. The car ride is silent, completely silent no radio, no talking, no nothing. If I wasn’t looking at you I would’ve thought you were dead. When you get to work that’s when I usually leave you be. You work with such a dull expression and it never changes, it’s kind of sad. 

For me the day goes by quickly and before I know it you're off of work but I can tell by the look on your face that the day dragged on very long for you. You get into the car without hesitation and just sit with your head in your hands. “ I’m guessing your day wasn’t too good?” I ask. I don’t know why though you never respond to me. But as soon as I finished my question you started to cry. I jump, I wasn’t expecting you to cry? I put my arm over your shoulder but I know it doesn’t help. Nothing I do can help take away your pain. 

A few minutes go past and you eventually stop crying. Your face is wet with tears, your eyes red, but your face is expressionless. I feel the need to speak but I don’t, but I get an awful feeling in my gut. You drive, the drive is still quiet but it’s a different type of quiet that’s never wracking and uneasy. You drive and drive and drive, slowly getting faster but I don’t think you know you are. “You missed your turn.” I say. I never know why I talk to you. You don’t hear me, it’s not like you can anyway. For the past 3 months you haven’t heard me.

The car goes faster and faster. “If you keep this up you’ll kill-” I cut my self of, panic fills my entire body. Your going to kill yourself. Did my death cause you that much pain? Tears fill my eyes and start flowing like an endless waterfall. You take your hands off the steering wheel and grip your hair, your foot is still firmly on the gas pedal. You let out broken sobs and start to yell. It’s all happening so fast and all I can do is watch. “De..” I say. You head straight for the ramp and fly off it. And it isn’t like in all the movies where time goes slower, no all the movements are fast and overwhelming. When the car stops at the bottom of the pit I cover my eyes, I couldn’t bare to look at your body. I could only imagine what it looked like. I sat there sobbing and holding myself for god knows how long, but I was always willing to wait for you.

“Patton?” 

I just thought the wait would be a lot longer

“De...”

Virgil was in his room listening to music and drawing on his couch. Patton and Logan were busy recording a video, and Roman was in imagination. Virgil was getting ready to change the song when heard a hissing sound come from the corner of his room. Virgil yanked off his headphones and looked around the room but he didn’t see anything. 

‘Was it in my head? Was it my headphones? Probably… But what if it wasn’t’

Virgil stood up and started to walk around his room, but as soon as he stood up his felt a sharp pain in his wrist. “Ow! Shit!” He pulled his hand up and looked down only to see a yellow snake with back and gold scales all over. Virgil screamed and kicked the snake away from him. The snake hits the wall then falls to the ground and disappears in yellow smoke. “What the hell!?!” Virgil says loudly. But then Virgil's head starts to pound, and his vision goes blurry. “Yo… What the hell…” There's a knock on the door but Virgil can barely hear it over the ringing in his ear. “Virgil? Are you alright? I heard screaming.” A muffled Roman says, but before Virgil can even get a word out he’s out cold.

“Virgil? Virgil!” Roman says frantically from outside the door. Roman groans “This better not be a joke.” Roman mumbled under his breath. Roman rises up in Virgil’s room only to see him on the floor, his eyes partly opened with yellow swirls swimming in a foggy purple. “Oh my gosh. Virgil!” Roman rushed over to Virgil and kneeled down next to him. Roman shook Virgil three times but got nothing. He looked around the room to see what caused this but only saw two evenly spaced holes on Virgil’s wrist that showed a bit of blood. “Holy shit Virgil what happened to you?” Roman asked in a whispered voice. 

“Rember, you have to remember.” Virgil’s eyes popped open All he saw was black at first. “Hello! What’s going on!?!” He was getting a vague sense of deja vu. “Rember. He’s lying to you, he can’t be trusted.” The voice was barely understandable, but Virgil could pick out words here and there. “Who? Who can’t be trusted.” “You have to fight to remember, I can only do so much.” “Do so much of what? And fight? Fight what?” Virgil had so many questions. But what the voice said next was crystal clear. “R e m b e r w h o y o u r f r i e n d s a r e . R e m b e r w h o y o u r r e a l l o v e r i s” Before Virgil can get any words out he feels like he’s falling and fast. Virgil lets out a startled gasp and tried to grab on to something even though nothing was there. He fell deep into the darkness, it was somehow getting darker and darker.

Then suddenly Virgil shoots up from the floor. “Virgil?” Roman says worried, Virgil didn’t say anything. Virgil was deep in thought, he had all the pieces but couldn’t put them together. “Remember who my friends are? Who my real lover is?” Roman could practically see the gears turning in Virgil’s brain. “Virgil, I’ll be right back I’m gonna go get Patton “ Patton…. Wait. “Roman wait don’t!” Virgil quickly grabbed Roman's arm before he could sink out. Virgil gulped. “I… I think Patton’s a bad person.” Roman rolled his eyes and smirked “What you two fought or something? What did he do, diss your emo music” Roman gave a quick chuckle but it quickly died when he saw the fear on Virgil’s face. “No nononono Roman your not getting it. Patton has lied to us, and has been whipping our memories and-and-and” “Woah calm down Virgil I think something bit you, and you're believing things that you made up in your head or worse, that evil snake put them there.” Roman said scrunching up his face. “Roman no. Listen to me, would I ever lie to you?” “No, but-” “Then I need you to trust me right now okay?” Roman nodded hesitantly. Virgil stood up on shaky legs and took a deep breath. Virgil looked Roman in the eyes, “We need to see the others.” “The dark sides? Why would we ever need to see-” Virgil put his hands on Roman’s shoulders “Trust me.” “But Patton said-” “We. Can’t. Trust. Patton.” Virgil huffs and sinks out with Roman.  

When Virgil and Roman rise up in the subconscious they see a pale weak Janus and a worried-looking Remus. When Virgil sees Janus he audibly gasps, “De…” Virgil makes a move to walk towards him but stopped himself. “What are you two doing here? Wouldn’t daddy be upset if he found out you two were on the wrong side of town?” Remus says with a sharp tone. “Remus…” Roman says in a low voice. “Shut up you know why I’m here, and I’m sorry you two were right.” “No really? Not like you shouldn’t have trusted us to begin with.” Janus says rolling his eyes. Virgil sighs and bites his tongue. “Thank you Deceit… For the” Virgil waves his hand around looking for the right word, “Reality check” Janus nods his head, “No problem, I wasn’t gonna lose another lover to Patton’s manipulation.” Virgil slightly flinches, he monetarily for that he and Patton were technically dating but before he can say anything Roman speaks. “I am still thoroughly confused. Patton? A bad person? It’s PATTON for pet sake, if you would’ve said Logan I MIGHT believe it but Patton?” Roman said disbelief written on his face. “If you don’t believe it then why are you here?” “Remus.” Virgil hisses at him. “Because I trust Virgil. And the look he had when he… remembered?” Roman said giving Virgil a questioning look to which Virgil nodded his head, yes to, “Well whatever. The look on his face made me feel uneasy… I guess I came just in case.” Roman says looking at the ground. “Well are you going to listen to us or are you going to follow precious Patton?” Janus says looking Roman in his eye. “I- I want to listen.” Janus squints at Roman for a few seconds before explaining everything. “Alright then. Sit down and I’ll explain 

When Janus finishes Roman is in shock. “I… Is this true?” Roman looked to Virgil. “It’s what I saw the first time you took me to the imagination if you even remember that,” Virgil said rubbing the back of his neck. “So what do we do?” Roman asks, “The four of us could probably take Patton out.” Janus said putting his hand on his chin. “We are NOT murdering Patton!” Virgil screamed at the same time Remus said “HELL YEAH MURDER”. “I agree with Virgil, even if Patton MIGHT deserve death, not saying he does, but Thomas needs his morality,” Roman said with a worried look. “Thomas would still have his Morality it just wouldn’t be Patton, or at least our Patton…” Janus said, “Besides even if this wasn’t the other case, Ve I just want things to go back to normal. I miss you and I’m sorry for making you choose if I didn’t-” Virgil cut Janus off while shaking his head, “No this is 100% my fault. I shouldn’t have been so desperate for answers, I should’ve waited until you and Remus were ready to tell me. “ “But we should’ve made an effort to tell you! We shouldn’t have kept this from you for so long, if I would’ve-” Virgil moved towards Janus and looked him in the eyes “Well maybe this is both of our faults but let’s move past this? I miss my boyfriend, my real boyfriend. I miss my home... “ Virgil said. 

As Janus was about to respond, there was clapping coming from the other side of the room. Everyone whipped their heads to see Patton standing by the wall in the hallway that connected to the bedrooms and the living room. “Well isn’t this cute?” Patton said a frown forming on his face, “You should learn to mind your business Deceit. Stop putting your nose in business that doesn’t involve you.” Patton said. “P-Patton,” Virgil said a bit a fear lingered in his voice. “Virgil I’m disappointed in you, usually you're so good, you just shut up and listen,” Patton said gritting his teeth. Virgil was visibly fighting Patton’s power now that he was aware of it. “N-no! Not this time. Not-” Patton clicked his tongue “I didn’t want to do this Virgil but you leave me no choice.” Patton said with a disappointed look on his face. 

Suddenly three knives appeared in his and before anyone could comprehend what was happening there was a home for each of the knives in someone's head except for Virgil’s. “JANUS!” Virgil screamed, because of how close Virgil was to him, some of his blood was on his face, on his hands. Virgil felt pain, he didn’t like this pain, it was unbearable he couldn’t take it. 

Patton walked towards Virgil and pulled Virgil towards him, into his arms. They didn’t feel warm anymore. Patton’s embrace felt cold and fake. 

Patton ran his fingers in Virgil’s hair “Remember baby, you stay with me” when those words left Patton’s mouth they sounded more like a demand than a question, the last command. And Virgil didn’t fight it.

A/N: FUCKING FINALLY. I did not plan for this idea to be this long but ya know it is what it is.The ending was a bit rushed could you tell? BUT NONE THE LESS I hope you guys enjoyed it! Feel free to check out my other works and this is my linktree . I hope to see you again some time but for now this is goodbye.

When Virgil woke up Patton had a death grip on his waist. Virgil sighed and giggled a little bit. “Pat. Let go.” “Hmmmm noooo let’s stay in beddddd” Patton said putting his head on the back of Virgil's neck and tightened his grip on Virgil’s waist. Virgil giggled and tuned so he was facing Patton. Virgil and Patton looked at each other, Patton smiled and pecked Virgil on the lips, “Your so pretty Virgie!” Virgil blushed and pushed Patton’s face away. “Patton!” Patton smiled and sat up. “Why are you up so early anyway? You never wake up this early, I’m always dragging you out of bed.” Which was true, Virgil never wanted to get up, his sleep schedule was absolutely fucked, but Patton didn’t need to know that. “I don’t know… Just woke up I guess…” Virgil, still laying down, grab Patton’s waist loosely and laid his head down on Patton’s lap. Patton smiled and started to run his fingers through Virgil's hair. “You should be tired, especially after last night.” Patton leaned down to Virgil’s ear and whispered, “I bet you can’t even walk, at least to properly.” Virgil turned a violent shade of red, and his face with the cover, “Pattonnnnnn” The other side just giggled and started to get up and get dressed. “I’ll start breakfast and bring it in after I’m done, okay? Then we’ll take a shower.” Patton looked Virgil up and down. His eyes looking at the trail of hickeys on his neck and his lower chest and waist. “Maybe a bath…” Virgil threw a pillow at Patton as he left quickly and shut the door. Virgil smiled to himself.

How did I get so lucky to have Patton

He thought. Honestly, when Virgil and Patton started dating it was a surprise to no one. Roman and Logan knew that the two had always known about their late-night get together. ‘It was destined to be, they were Romeo and Juliet, except no one got hurt’. Virgil would have never guessed he would feel this way towards the father figure but one day it just hit him out of nowhere. It was luck that Patton felt the same way, he doesn’t know what he would do if Patton rejected him. Hell Virgil could barely remember what life was like before Patton and he got together, literally. Patton and Virgil had been dating for a couple of months, Patton seemed like the only one who could help and understand him. Virgil felt lucky to have Patton. 

Virgil doesn’t know how long he was thinking for but Patton bounced back into the room with 2 plates of food. “I have an eggcellent meal for you, my angel.” Patton giggle and Virgil snorted. Virgil and Patton ate their food, having short and small conversations here and there but mostly eating. Virgil swears up and down that Patton's cooking is a gift from God herself. The only person cooking who rivals it is Logan's.  When they finished cooking Patton took their plates into the kitchen. “Let’s take a bath and cuddle and Disney movies for the rest of the day?” Virgil nodded his head.

So Patton and Virgil were now in the living room watching movies but Virgil couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched. He kept moving around and eventually Patton caught on. “Ve, you okay?” “Uh Yeah I’m fine…” “You're obviously not. What’s wrong?” “ Um, I just have the feeling like I’m being watched... “ Virgil said this as he looked around. “Do you wanna watch movies in my room then?” “If you don’t mind…” Patton smiled and kissed Virgil’s cheek. “Anything to make your comfortable Angle”.

As Patton kissed Virgil's cheek looking Janus dead in the eyes, they sunk out of the room. Janus huffed and sunk out of the mind place and back to the subconscious. Only to see Remus laying on the couch, naked but had a pillow covering his private area.  “I’m shocked that you even thought that little plan of yours would work. And I thought I was supposed to be the stupid one.“ Remus said taking a bit out of his deodorant. Janus hissed at Remus and started to walk around the room. “Unless Virgil actually hated us, which he doesn’t, it should have worked. You didn’t see his eyes, Remus… He was so.. “ “Different? Yeah, he left us Jan, he left us. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he used the same voodoo magic on Virgil that he used on us and the other lights when things don’t go his way. You know Patton Jan, he won’t let the emo go that quickly. Not if it’s bad for us.” Janus was frustrated. Virgil knew the truth but he didn’t know that he knew the truth. That was a problem, how were they gonna break Virgil out of his trace and make sure Patton didn’t snatch him up right away?

I can’t give up. I have to get Virgil back. I won’t let Patton take another person that I love. I just have to try again. But how to go about it…

Then an idea struck Janus, he snapped his fingers and turned to Remus. “I have an idea” “Shoot,” Remus said while shooting a bullet out of his finger towards the ceiling. “It’s gonna take a lot of energy out of me but I have to try.” “What are you thinking?” “I could send one of my snakes to bite Virgil, when it does Patton’s magic will be temporarily removed. That would give Virgil enough time to hopefully remember and use my power along with his to break free of Patton fucking curse.” Remus's eyes were locked with Janus, “Double D that’s your strongest ability if this doesn't work-” “Then we’ll never get him back I know.” Janus sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “But if this doesn’t work I don’t know what I’ll do…” Janus's voice started to crack at the end. “ Satan Speed I guess,” Remus said.

A/N: This is becoming way too long but I’m glad people are actually reading it. This was supposes to be a one shot but it’s like 3,000 words sooo...

Anyways enjoy thanks for reading

***

Virgil started to follow the light but started to slow down. He felt uneasy. He felt anxious. 

“Do not stray young one. You have been lied to. You have questions. I have answers.” Virgil whipped his head around. “Who the hell!?!?” Virgil said. “Do not be afraid. I do not wish you any harm. I just want to give you answers, but I only have so much time.”  Virgil looked at the ball of light, which was where the voice was coming from. Virgil squinted, “Answers?” “Yes, answers. Just touch the light”  The ball of light grew brighter. Virgil started to walk towards it. As he got closer, he could hear whispering. He couldn’t tell what they were saying but he wanted to know. He wanted answers. Virgil walked closer and closer until he was close enough to reach his arm out and touch it. He was about to but hesitated for a second. Did he really want answers? 

Yes, he did. Virgil plunged his hand into the ball of light and then-

Long ago there were 4 main sides.

Logic: The smartest but also the weakest. 

Morality and Deceit: Equals but opposites. They were also fairly strong.

And Creativity: The strongest and most powerful of all the sides.

They called him King Creativity for he was the most powerful and practically ran the place.  Logic found the King obnoxious but didn’t bother him much. Morality liked him at first but as he got older he became more inappropriate but Morality stayed quiet for the King had a special place in his heart. 

Now, this is where the problem starts. The two opposite sides had more in common than they would want to believe. They had both fallen for the King. They loved everything about him, and it didn't take them long to find out the other’s intention. 

The two sides fought tooth and nail for his love. They weren't gonna give up easily. But no matter how hard Morality fought he lost, and Deceit captured the king's heart. Morality furious of his loss over the King started to poison the King. Morality had the power to hypnotize people to make them feel guilty, to make them feel like they were in the wrong. He could make anything he deemed “bad thoughts” disappear to the point where the person fought they even existed. Morality fed the King poison. The King grew split. He couldn’t tell what part of his ideas were good and what were bad. He was at war with himself. Until he finally,

Split.

Deceit was furious, fought Morality, had logic not been there the fight would have been worse, but Morality left with a scar across his chest and Deceit damage to his eye. Morality banished Deceit and the part of Creatilty he deemed dark to the subconscious. 

And thus the start of the Light and Dark sides began.  

Virgil gasped. He couldn't quite tell if his eyes were open or not but he did know something, he knew the truth. Virgil felt awful now that he knew, He now understood why it was hard for Deceit, no why it was hard for Janus to say anything. Virgil was furious and disturbed. Patton lied to him, Patton used him and turned him against the others. Patton made Virgil think that he was the victim and Janus was the one being unreasonable.

“Virgil! Virgil!”. Roman was calling his name from afar. “Roman!” Virgil yelled. Roman ran towards him with a worried look. “Where the hell did you go!?! I was worried- Well not worried but scared you got lost, or worse…” Roman said with a bit of anger in his voice. “We need to see Patton n o w, “ Virgil said his voice starting to glitch. Roman's eyes widened and grabbed Virgil's arm and sunk out of Imagination. 

When they rose up Patton was in the kitchen and Logan was reading a book in the living room. “ P a t t o n !!”  Virgil yelled. Patton looked up with fear in his eyes. “Virgie?” “ Y o u   l i e d  to  m e !! “ Logan, Roman, and Patton looked at Virgil with fear. “Virgil I think you should calm down a little-” “  S H U T   U P  R O M A N !! “ Virgil screamed. Virgil took a deep breath to try to stop his voice from glitching. “ I know. I know the fucking truth!!” “Language!!” “No!! Fuck you, Patton!! You lied to me!! King Creativity didn’t just split all by himself did he Patton!” “Virgil calm down, let’s do this in private.” “ N O!! “ Patton glared a little at Virgil, “ I said Calm down. “ Virgil relaxed immediately, his eyes showed a light blue swirl. Patton huffed, “ Now Virgie, let's talk in my room.”  Virgil nodded and walked into Patton’s room. Patton Turned to face the others “ As for you two,  this never happened “ The other two nodded, light blue swirls in their eyes. Patton sighed, brushed off his clothes, and went into his room to talk to Virgil.

When Virgil left Janus broke. He cried and cried, hoping that he would wake up any second and this would all be a bad dream. He couldn’t take it. They thought that this was the end of them. That was the last time he might ever talk to Virgil...

No. I shouldn’t think that way. He left us. This is his fault, not mine. 

Janus sighed and pulled his blankets closer to himself. Now it was just him and Remus. Oh god, Remus. Remus had no clue that they were even fighting now Virgil was just gone!?! How was he going to tell Remus? And speak of the devil and he will appear. “DOUBLE DE!! Wheres Virgil!?! His door! It’s-” “Gone?” Remus looked at Janus and noticed he was crying. “Janus where’s Virgil?” Janus almost let out a sob but he fought it and just let the tears silently roll down his face. “Gone.” Remus's eyes went wide. “Gone! Gone where he’s not…” Remus didn’t have to finish that sentence for Janus to understand what he was talking about. “No, he’s not. He left us Re. He’s left to be with the light sides. He’s abandoned us.” Janus said quietly. “There has to be more than him just leaving. He wouldn’t just…” Janus “Believe whatever you want to believe but Patton has allowed him to be a light side and live with the other light sides. And Virgil decided he wanted to so he left. It’s as simple as that.” Remus shook his head. “No way the Emo would just leave just like that.” “He would and he did,” Janus said with a bitter tone. “No. I have to see this for myself.” Remus said getting read to sink out. “Go ahead. Oh and Remus? He knows about King.” Remus's eyes showed hurt and pain before he sunk out. 

Janus sighed and laid down. Hoping to just sleep this off and forget about it for a few hours. 

When Anxiety popped up in Patton’s room Patton didn’t know what to think. What he did know is that Anxiety popped into his room with makeup smeared tears running down his face. Patton assumed that the talk with Deceit didn’t go too well. “Anxiety” Anxiety had started shaking and collapsed to the floor. “Oh kiddo…” Patton rushed over to him and engulfed him in a hug. “What happened?” Anxiety took a deep breath and started rambling about what had happened between him and Deceit. Patton’s heart ached. He felt like this was partly his fault. “Anxiety I’m so sorry…” “It’s fine…” Anxiety leaned into Patton’s touch. “But hey! On the bright side, you get to have a fresh start with the others, get involved in Thomas’ life, and hang out with me more!” That last part made Anxiety smile. 

Because of the whole light side dark side thing Virgil and Patton never really got to hang out other than planned visits in private. Virgil whipped his tears and smiled a bit “Thanks for letting me rant to you Patton, I think I’ll turn in for the night.” “Okay Anxiety. Oh! And I just wanted to say before you go, my door is always opened for you.” Virgil smiled and nodded. “Thanks Pat.” When Virgil appeared in his room and saw Remus on his bed he almost let out an audible gasp. Virgil had completely forgotten to tell Remus even a fraction of what was happening, he didn’t even know that Patton had OFFERED Virgil a room in the light part of the mind. “So You left us… Just like that?” Virgil sighed “Remus let me explain-” “PLEASE DO. Because I know wouldn’t abandon us just like that. I KNOW you wouldn’t abandon Janus just like that!” Remus yelled at Virgil. “He made me!” “What Janus’ “Made you join the lights!?!?” “He made me choose, he said that if I went with the lights I couldn’t come back.” “So you choose them over us!?!” “I’m doing this for us! They need to see that there is no difference between the dark side and light sides, that were all equal.” “Well look at you! Thinking you know what’s best. Do you think this will work? Are you stupid enough to actually believe Patton will let you do this without a fight!?!” Remus yelled in Virgil's face. “Patton is the one who offered it to me in the first place the only person I have to worry about is princey and everyone knows that logic doesn't give two shit about who’s where and who’s doing what as long as we do our job effectively,” Virgil says. He was getting really fed up with everyone yelling at him today. He was sick and tired of people telling him right from wrong without giving him a reason. The only person who had answered his questions was Patton. 

“You can’t trust Patton Virgil!” “Why not!” “You just can’t!” Virgil let out of huff of anger, “You see!?! That right there is why I trust Patton, he gives me fucking answers! All you and Deceit have done is tell me that I can’t, and shouldn’t and not allowed to do shit without any reasoning and I’m sick of it. If you don’t trust me fine if you don’t want me to do this for you guys then fucking fine! But I’m going to do this for me. Whether you two like it or not!” Remus glared at Virgil but didn’t say anything for a while. “Fine Anxiety “ “Whatever Duke” Then the Duke sank out.

Months passed and Virgil stayed with the lights and it was a lot of fun. He was even comfortable enough to tell the Lights his name. Half of the time he didn’t give a second thought about the Dark sides. Not even when he was alone, which was rare even then. He would often spend his nights with Patton. Patton’s whole presence just helped him feel calm. It was nice. Virgil felt like he never had to worry when he was with Patton it was nice.

The Dark sides on the other hand were taking this horribly. Day by day they grew more bitter and they watched from afar. They. Were. Pissed. But not at Virgil, at least Remus’ wasn’t, they were pissed at Patton, for taking Virgil from them. Janus was pissed that Patton took another one of his lovers from him for himself. He was tired and he wasn’t letting Virgil slip from him, not his Virgil. He just needed the right time to strike. 

Virgil doesn’t know how he got here or why he was here, but somehow he ended up in imagination. Specifically Roman’s side of imagination. Oh, wait he does know how, Patton puppy dog face. Now Roman was ranting about all the things they could do. They had been walking for 15 minutes now, Virgil was looking around at all the sites. He had to admit it was beautiful. Virgil looked to his right and saw a bright red and yellow ball of light. And he felt like he should follow it. 

Surely Princey won’t mind if I dip for a second. Hell, he probably won’t even notice. 

A/N: i’Ll PoSt MoRe OfTeN. I’ve said that like five times no one’s gonna belive that shit but I’m gonna try. ANWAY this was supposed to be a short one shot but it’s almost over three thousand words and I’m not even done writing it. SO I split it up and I’ll do the whole link things for them when I get the other parts out.

Ship: Anxceit and Moxiety

TW: Cursing, Slight Angst

“Virgil I just don’t trust him!” “How can you not trust him, it's Patton for fucks sake! What do you think he’ll do to ground you?” Janus sighed, He and Virgil had been arguing for over an hour about this. “Jan this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! We're getting an opportunity to have a seat at the table, to talk to Thomas! You can’t let your personal opinion of Patton cloud this!!” “Ve you don’t know the things he’s done. You’re too-” “If you say I’m too young I swear to god.” Virgil, who was sitting on Janus bed, while Janus paced the room, stood up. “If you and Remus won’t tell me what happened when I was forming I can’t take it to heart.” “Please Virgil I’m begging you. Don’t do it.” Janus looked at Virgil with pleading eyes. “Jan I can’t miss this opportunity! It’ll be good for us you’ll see.” Virgil says while grabbing Janus’ hand and facing him towards him. “No. If you go to the lights, don’t come back.” Virgil flinched, Janus almost took back what he said but he bit his tongue, there was no way Virgil would choose the lights over us, over his own boyfriend… Right?

“...Jan you don’t mean that.” “I do. I do mean it. You can totally comprehend the emotions I feel towards Patton! You understand what Remus and I have been through! You should just go with Patton and leave us forever!” Janus screams. Virgil pulls Janus into a hug. “Janus, calm down. You're speaking in lies.” Janus takes a deep breath then pushes Virgil away. “You go with them and leave forever, or you stay with us.” Janus looks into Virgil’s eyes. “You stay with me”. When those words left his mouth they sounded like a plea, a cry for help, a last resort. Virgil sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I-I have to think about it.” And with that he sunk out of Janus' room to go to his own. 

Virgil sighed and flopped on his bed. A fight with Janus was not on his agenda for today. Virgil didn’t understand why he was so worked up over this. What did Patton do? What could sweet innocent Patton could have possibly done? The man didn’t even curse! Virgil groaned and pulled on his hair. This was stressing him more than he planned, the last thing he expected Janus to say is no, and so strongly… Maybe he shouldn’t do this… 

Is being with the light, getting a chance to be in Thomas’ life, getting a seat at the table, a chance at a better life, was that really more important than the others? Than Janus?

Don’t get Virgil wrong he loved his boyfriend, he loved his friends. He would do almost anything for them. Maybe this was one of those things he had to do. To show the lights that them and the dark sides shouldn’t be separated. That there should be no Light and Dark sides. Virgil honestly thought that his whole Light and Dark side bullshit was stupid. 

But... if this all goes south where will Virgil go? If he wanted to come back Janus would never allow it, he was too stubborn to let go of his pride so easily. Virgil sighed again pushing his face into the mattress. He wanted to scream.

“Hey Kiddo! I was just-” “AH!” Virgil jumped up and squeezed his heart. “Jeez Patton you can’t just…” Virgil waves his hand up and down, “Do that.” Patton giggled and smiled, “Oops sorry kiddo! I didn’t mean to scare you! I just wanted to check in!” “That’s fine…” Patton frowned, “Is something bothering you kiddo? You look upset.” Virgil rubbed his face then sat up quickly.

Maybe Patton can tell me what happened.

“Uh yeah me and de got into a fight… Hey Patton can I ask you a question?”  “You already did but go ahead.” Patton said giggling at the end. “Did something happen before I formed? Between you, De and the Duke?” Patton’s eyes flashed with emotions rapidly before only one showed. Pain. Virgil jumped “Uh youdon’thavetotellmeifyoudon’twantto-” Virgil said quickly. Patton sighed “No kiddo it’s fine, I just though they would’ve told you…” “Um tell me what? Exactly?”  “Do you mind if I sit?” Virgil scoots to one side of the bed and pats the side nearest to Patton gesturing for him to sit. Patton sat down crisis-cross applesauce (There's got to be a better name for this) next to Virgil on the bed. “Well…”

Long ago there were 4 main sides.

Logic: The smartest but also the weakest. 

Morality and Deceit: Equals but polar opposites. They were also fairly strong.

And Creativity: The strongest and most powerful of all the side.

They called him King Creativity for he was the most powerful and practically ran the place.  Logic found the King obnoxious but didn’t bother him much. Morality really liked him at first but as he got older he became more inappropriate but Morality stayed quiet for the King had a special place in his heart. 

Now this is where the problem starts. The two opposite sides had more in common than they would want to believe. They had both fallen for the King. They loved everything about him, and it didn't take them long to find out the other’s intention. 

Deceit in a rush of hope confessed his love and got the King before Morality did. Now as heartbroken as Morality was he stood back and attempted to move on. 

As Thomas grew and changed so did the other sides, Logic became stronger, Morality and Deceit were no longer equals one was now stronger than the other, and the King… The King grew split in his head and he was suffering. He was stronger than ever but it was too much power for one side to handle. 

And one day he s p l i t . 

Suddenly there were two Creativities, The Duke and The Prince. When Deceit found out he was furious and heartbroken. He screamed and cried and blamed Morality for his lover being gone. Morality just as heart broken as Deceit tried to defend himself but Deceit wasn't having it.  He took one half of Creativity and left the others.

Thus the start of the separation of the Light Sides and the Dark Sides. 

When Patton finished his story Virgil was in shock. Never in his life did he think Janus, his Janus was the reason for the Light and Dark side split. He didn’t even notice Patton had tears in his eyes until he looked up. “Oh Patton, I’m sorry!” Virgil pulled Patton into a hug. Patton chuckled and hugged Virgil back, “It’s fine I’d just wish Deceit would understand. I still feel awful about it.” Patton said. “I’ll talk to him. I’ll try to get him to talk to you again so we can work this out.” Virgil said Patton looked at Virgil and smiled through the tears. “Thanks Virgil.”  

‘Was this whole thing really just a big misunderstanding? Maybe the reason Jan didn’t want to talk about it is because he feels guilty?’ 

“Would you like me to stay for a little bit or?” Patton moved away from Virgil’s embrace, “No, You can go. I’ll be okay!” Patton had stopped crying but he still gave off a sad vibe. Virgil didn’t ask questions and just nodded his head and sunk out.

He appeared in Janus' room and saw Janus on his bed wrapped up in a yellow blanket. “I did think you’d be back so soon…” Janus says from the bed but doesn't make any attempt to move. “I’m assuming you made up your mind?” 

Fuck. Virgil forgot about that part of the fight just that quickly. “Um no. Well not exactly… um I know.” Janus made a face, “You know what exactly?” Virgil rubbed the back of his neck, “What happened… Why you hate Patton…” Virgil made a really long pause. He was hesitant to say the next part. “About King.” Virgil said softly. Janus visibly tensed. “How” He hissed out. “Patton told me…”  Janus barked out a laugh. “Yeah right. I doubt he told you the truth but that’s not important, what did you come to my room for? To ask if it was true? To accuse me of the splitting of sides?” Virgil's eyes went wide “What!?! No! Actually…” Virgil rubbed the back of his neck now unsure if he should’ve done this today. “Well? Spit it out.” Janus said impatiently. “Actually Patton wanted me to talk to you. He wants to talk to you.” Janus scoffs and rolls his eyes. “Jan to me it just sounds like one big miscommunication. I think if we all just sat down and talked-” “No.” Virgil was getting frustrated now. He knew everything and he still felt lost. Why was Janus being so difficult about this? “Why? What could you possibly have against the light sides? It wasn’t his fal-” “You know nothing , absolutely nothing. You do not get a say in what I do and or say to them. You may think you know something but you don’t.” ‘Then tell me! Help me understand! Because to me you're being unreasonable!” “No. You don’t need to know, I don’t want to talk about it. Beside you knowing won’t change a thing.” “It may change my mind.” The room went quiet. “So you did decide.” “Maybe…” Janus took a deep breath. “And your decision?” Janus asked even though he already knew the answer. “Janus I have to do this.” “No you don’t” “Why can’t you try to see it from my perspective.” “Leave Virgil, but don’t come crying back to us when it doesn’t work out.” “Janus…”

“Leave Anxiety.” Virgil scoffed “Fine Deceit.” And with that Virgil left.

This is a Dukexiety short story. I haven’t uploaded her in forever so I’m sorry about that but I’m going to try to upload here more. But anyway enjoy the story!

Project Corpus Animatum 840-WAQ. This was a government paid project that went horribly wrong and started the apocalypse. This was a scientific study that people thought would change lives forever. By being able to bring the newly dead back to live as half human half robot creature. But these creatures turned out to be a monstrosity. They were designed to be able to live life and work jobs without needed to be paid. They were non eat, breathing, living things. They didn’t need to eat or anything. At least that’s how it was supposed to go. But instead these things did need to eat but only had a craving for one thing human flesh. But because these things were half human there skin rotted and gave infections the the ones they bit. Which turned those who were bitten into Zombies. 

Most people during the apocalypse moved in groups of 3 or more. Virgil, Remus, Roman, Patton, Logan, and Janus had all grouped up as soon as the thing started. They were close friends ever since high school and trusted each other with their lives. They were a diverse group with very different skills but all their skills together made it easier to survive.

“We’ve been out here all day… Can’t we rest for a few minutes?” Patton whined. “No we have to keep moving, can’t you smell it in the air? Their close.” Janus snapped at Patton. But he was right, the air reeked of death, it smelled awful. “It couldn’t hurt to take a five minute break.” Logan said, also very tired and wanting to stop for a little. “Lo honey I love you, but let’s keep moving.” “Okay but who died and made you leader? I think we all need to rest for a bit and at least cool off, it’s no use if one of us passes out and Patton looks like he’ll be the first.” Remus said. Remus had stopped walking and crossed his arms. Janus sighed “Fine but five minutes and five minutes only.” The group walked over to a shady area, Janus despite being the only one who wanted to keep moving, collapsed first. Remus scoffed and also sat down along with Logan, Roman, and Patton. “Guys I have a bad feeling about stopping now… Maybe we should mov-” “Emo it’s five minutes. And you’ve had a bad feeling since this whole thing started.” “Yeah but it’s wor-” Remus started shushing Virgil and stood up and gave Virgil a peck on his lips. Virgil sighed and also sat down. Remus followed suit “Were almost at the safe state were like a day away at max from this place. We’ll make it” Virgil sighed and nodded.

As the group was sitting in the shade the smell slowly got stronger. “Okay I really think we should move now.” Virgil was now sounding very worried. “I agree let’s go.” That earned a groan from Roman and Patton. “Oh it’s not that bad, we could be way worse and you know it so stop complaining.” Janus snapped obviously not having it with the bright couple. Another groan. “I said stop it” Janus growled. “Uh that wasn’t any of us…” Roman said nervously. Logan whipped his head to the side and saw the group of undeads walking towards them. “We need to go and we need to go now.” Logan said standing up. The group got up weapons in hand and started to swiftly walk away, you couldn’t even hear them breathing.  It was all going well until they were spotted. The zombie that spotted them screamed and alerted the ones around it. There were about 20 zombies all rushing towards them now. “Run, run, run!” Virgil yelled.   

The group started bolting down the street while the group of zombies chased them down. The zombies were fast and they weren't faster. “We need to slow them down!” Roman said. “How the hell are we supposed to slow them down!?!” “Well if we don’t we're gonna have to fight!” Virgil yelled at Janus. “Let’s just fight then! We’ve dealt with bigger mobs” Remus screamed. “Barely!” Roman said. Patton let out a bitter laugh “Screw it! Let’s just fight!” Patton turn around and started running towards the zombies, his bat in hand. Roman also followed right behind his boyfriend with his sword. Eventually everyone else followed and started taking down zombies. 

Eventually all the zombies were taken down and everyone was panting. “What did I say! I told you guys I had a bad feeling and look what happened!” Virgil yelled falling to the ground. “Is… Is everyone okay” There was some from of a yes from everyone.

Everyone but Remus.

“Re? You okay?” Virgil turned to look at Remus and gasped. Remus had a big  bite on his arm and was staring at it in fear. “Remus…” Virgil said, starting to tear up. Remus snapped his head and looked at Virgil than at Janus who was also starting to tear up. “Janus, give Virgil your gun.” Janus nodded numbly and Virgil violently shook his head. “No! no , no, no NO! We were so close, can’t we just cut it off! Remus please I need you!” Virgil was shaking and crying, Remus smiled at him sadly. “Look at me emo.” He put his hands on Virgil’s face “Your gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. You have to do this. I want you to be the last thing  I see, Virgil please. You have to” Remus took the gun for Janus and handed it to Virgil. “I don’t want you to die!”  Virgil wailed. “Would you rather have me be a zombie. Virgil you have to.” “Brother… Maybe Virgil is right we can just cut it-” Roman started but Patton grabbed his hand and shook his head. The wound was already infected, it was only a matter of time at this point. “I’m so sorry Remus…” Logan said, “Oh Remus…” Janus shook his head and tucked it into Logan’s shirt. “ I love you brother…” Roman said in a shaky voice. “ It was fun while it lasted.” Remus said while letting out a bitter chuckle. “ Virgil…” “No no no no!” “Virgil.” Remus said sternly. Virgil took a deep breath and aimed the gun at Remus' head. “I love you Remus” “Love you more Emo”. Remus smiled and then a shot rang out and Remus' body fell limp on the ground.
