"Look, they have horns, just like me!" Remus exclaimed, leaning forward with widened eyes to get a better look at the television screen. "What are they?"

"Reindeer," Thomas answered.

"I love them," Remus spoke seriously.

He reached up, touching the pointed tip of his left horn, before turning to Thomas with a happy grin. It always surprised Thomas that Remus had never accidentally cut himself from the sharpness of the horns, as Thomas had accidentally done that the one time he'd tried to touch the sharp point.

Thomas couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm pretty sure they're actually called antlers," he said. "Demons have horns, reindeers have antlers."

Remus shook his hands. "Nah, those are horns, too. I'm the horn expert."

"Are you now?" Thomas laughed.

"Yup! I'm the horn expert, and those are horns," Remus repeated. Then, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up. "Ooh, can we decorate my horns like a Christmas tree?" He exclaimed.

Thomas straightened on. "Yes! Oh my gosh, that would look so cool!"

"Yeah!" Remus grinned, bouncing in his feet and looking far more adorable than any demon really had the right to look.

"What are you thinking, tinsel, baubles, mistletoe?"

Thomas laughed. "Mistletoe? Are you looking for an excuse to kiss me, Rem?"

Unconventional pet au!

Another au I've only talked about on the au masterpost

Virgil loves animals. Every animals, including spiders and bugs. It would be great if his papa wasn't so scared of these... Virgil meets someone (Deceit) that shares the same interests for weird pets, and he's also very gay for him, while his parents (Patton and Logan) struggle to woo the baker down the street (Roman).

This au just started when I wanted to draw the faces of the sides, and I was like 'ok these are cool. I need an au for them' so I pushed my hyperfixation on snakes and tarantulas on them...

Logan is the cool dad, while Patton is the strict dad. Wanna know why? Because he did all the stupid stuff teenagers and young adults do and don't want his son to do it too, while Logan is like 'omg give Virgil a break remember that time you drank a shot of vodka vinegar and yogurt to impress me'. Patton was a huge party animal, and is now embarrassed of all the things that he did djjdjfjds

Roman is mute, so Patton and Logan study ASL to impress them (they're genderfluid). Roman and Remus immediately noticed the two men flirting with them, but Roman first thought it was just a contest to see who could woo them first.

Deceit is trans and a punk that doesn't give a single fuck about comforming. He's parents, who are friends with Patton, decided to present Deceit to Virgil to save Patton from a cardiac arrest every time he enters Virgil's room (his tarantulas live temporarily with Deceit the time that Virgil becomes independent).

Remus is dating Thomas, but I don't have much on them yet...

Virgil has three tarantulas, including an chilean rose hair (they're my fav species), a few mantis and centipedes and a bearded lizard.

Logan and Patton also own two rats.

(This is one of 36 Halloween-themed ficlets I'm posting today! One for every sides/Remy/Emile/Thomas ship plus creativitwins!)

Thomas had a secret.

A big, terrible secret that made him feel terrible, even before taking the guilt of keeping the secret from his boyfriend into account. He wanted to tell him: really, really wanted to tell him.

But the secret was big. The secret was terrible. The secret was bad enough that it could break a relationship.

He loved Remus. He also wondered if maybe Remus would be okay if he found out the truth.

Remus was unique. He was funny and not afraid of anything.

And maybe, if he found out Thomas's deep, dark secret, he wouldn't be afraid of Thomas, either.

But Thomas wasn't ready to risk that.

Not yet.

"Baby," Remus whined, leaning against Thomas's side and pouting at him. "Why are you leaving me?"

"I'm not leaving you," Thomas explained, feeling overwhelmingly guilty but doing his best to hide it. "I just... can't be here tonight. I have somewhere to be."

"But it's Halloween! You can't leave me alone on Halloween."

Remus continued to pout. He did his best impression of puppy-dog eyes, which only ever worked on Thomas.

"I'm sorry. I really wish I could stay."

"You won't even tell me where you're going! Very rude."

"Sorry."

Remus frowned. "I don't want you to apologise. I want you to stay!"

"I wish I could," Thomas sighed. "But I really don't have a choice here."

"You won't even tell me what's going on!"

Thomas frowned. "I... I know... I'm sorry."

"Thomas," Remus frowned, too. "Come on. Please, why can't you tell me?"

"I just... I don't know if you'll believe me-"

"C'mon, I'll believe anything you tell me."

"And- and I really don't know how you'll react. You might... you might be scared of me."

Remus gave Thomas a look that was halfway between a startled confusion and amusment.

"Me?" Remus half-laughed. "Scared of you? C'mon, Thomas, you're adorable!"

"Not always..." Thomas mumbled under his breath.

(He certainly wasn't adorable in his monster form. At least, he didn't think he was. Too tall and fuzzy and with more sharp teeth and claws than he knew what to do with.)

Remus tilted his head.

"It's just..." Thomas sighed. "I can't tell you, I'm sorry. And I... I really have to go."

Remus frowned, but didn't do anything to stop Thomas when he got up off the couch. He looked... disappointed, and made an uncomfortable ball of guilt and anxiety form in the pit of his stomach.

(Thomas ships are underrated lol)

Thomas sat up, ready to slip out of bed and get ready for the day, when he was suddenly tackled back onto the mattress. He would've been alarmed, but it was just his boyfriend, Remus, so, instead, he just sighed, his hand immediately coming up to cup the back of Remus's neck.

"Remus, I have to get up."

Remus shook his head, nuzzling Thomas's neck with his nose, and then pressing a kiss to the same spot.

"No, you're not allowed," Remus whined, his moustache tickling Thomas's skin.

"But, I have work."

"Nuh-uh," Remus pulled back enough to look Thomas in the eye. "Stay."

He then leant down, peppering numerous kisses across his boyfriend's face, grinning when Thomas started laughing.

"I love you."

With a heavy sigh he moved to Marcus room and peeked inside, to find him sleeping. Thom heard about his sister from Conner and honestly he wasn`t even surprised anymore. She always managed to get herself into horrible situations. Yet, he couldn`t shake off the image of when he found her wandering around that manor. She`d probably be dead if he weren`t there, wouldn`t she? On one hand, Thomus wanted to be no part of her life. It was too chaotic and crazy. But on the other hand, he wanted to make up for all those years that he treated her like crap. She was his little sister no matter what. Well, he did what he could. Paid the hospital and visited her now and then. The rest was in the hands of Healers.

Looking at the crib Thom realized how hard he had been trying to avoid any difficulties. Wasn`t that why he broke up with Danielle in the first place? She was causing too much havoc in his life and he couldn`t cope with the thought that she might do something stupid again and end up dead. How in hell would he be able to live with that? But then again, if she died even when they weren`t together, would that make a difference?

Thomus growled and moved down the corridor. He was having the same argument with himself over and over again. Sure, he seemed calm and even content, but Danielle couldn`t know how he felt. She had no idea how hard it was for him to ask her help or to even see her around. Every time he saw her he had to fight back the urge to just walk up to her and pull her in his arms. He wanted her and damn it, he missed her. It wasn`t like he just went and stopped loving her… and now it was even worse because she was carrying his child and Thomus wanted to be there for her. He wanted to settle down and just be with her.

And just as he was about to break down and go after her he remembered the one thing he always would – it was never going to happen with her. No settling down, no calm, steady family. He learned his lesson already that no matter what, eventually she`d do something what would make him feel as if his heart got ripped out of his chest and stomped on.
