Logan has a nightmare and wakes up screaming. He is then comforted by the other five sides.

Trigger Warnings: Nightmares, bullying(ish), Remus, Sympathetic Remus and Deceit, physical abuse(as part of a nightmare). I think that’s everything but if you see anything that should have a trigger warning please let me know.

_______________________________

10-year-old Virgil sat on a tree branch that was just outside his window. He was running from home. Sure, he loved his dads Remus and Deceit, but something just didn’t feel right when he was with them and they would often argue really loudly which would make him feel scared. He took a deep breath in and then climbed down the tree and ran down the street away from his old home.

He rounded the corner and ran straight into the chest of a towering figure resulting on the two of them being on the floor. Virgil sprung up quickly without looking at his victim and continued running.

Logan sanders had been on his way home from his job as a librarian when he was knocked over by someone much smaller than him running straight into his chest causing him to topple over onto the floor. He rubbed his head and then looked up to ask whatever the thing or person or animal was if they were okay but when he looked up, they were gone. He looked over his shoulder and spotted a young boy running away from him. “Wait!”

Virgil stopped briefly and looked back at the man he had run into. He was a tall man with glasses and a blue tie. He looked nice. Maybe… No. Virgil continued running.

Logan ran after the hoodie wearing boy and caught up to him after a couple hundred meters. They were both very out of breath and Logan decided that he should definitely start going to the gym more often. Now back to the boy. “Are you okay?”

Virgil was silent.

“What’s wrong? Are you running away from someone? Is someone hurting you?”

Virgil stayed silent but his bottom lip started to wobble, and Logan could see the boy was about to burst into tears. “What’s your name?”

“V-v-virgil.”

“Okay Virgil, do you know where your parents are?”

The dams broke and Virgil began wailing and crying. Logan who was knelt in front of him just stared not knowing what to do. He hadn’t really shown anyone much emotion since… never mind, he hadn’t shown much emotion in a while and he most certainly did not know how to comfort someone. That was one of the few knowledge gaps he had, and it usually wasn’t a problem except for when his puppy like boyfriend would read something in the news or watch certain movies. Logan shook his head; this wasn’t the time to be thinking of Patton. Patton! Patton will know what to do with Virgil. “Alright Virgil, I’m going to take you to see a friend of mine who can help you out.”

Virgil nodded his head and Logan awkwardly picked him up. Virgil cuddled into his shoulder as Logan walked around the corner to his car. He felt Virgil cuddle in closer as they passed one of the houses. Logan stopped perplexed. “Is that your house Virgil?”

Virgil hesitated and then nodded his head.

“Were you running away?”

Virgil nodded into Logan’s chest and began crying again.

“Okay, okay… Is it okay if I ask why?”

“They kept on arguing really loud and I didn’t like it and I love them, but it was scary.”

“Okay… Are they home right now?”

Virgil nodded.

“How about we go and knock on the door and see of we can sort this out.”

Virgil nodded. Logan walked them up to the door and knocked. He heard some shuffling around and muffled shouting. Virgil flinched into Logan as Remus slammed open the door.

Remus opened his mouth to speak but then saw Logan. His jaw hung open before he called out to Deceit. “Snake boi, the dorks outside holding Virgil!”

“What!” Deceit ran to the door holding a mug of tea which he promptly dropped upon seeing Logan outside the door. Deceit muttered a barely audible, “Logan.”

“Salutations Deceit. I didn’t know you had a child.”

“Well I do… Remus babe can you clean up the tea and take Virgil inside. Logan and me need to… talk.” Deceit stepped out the door as Remus took Virgil from Logan.

“Ssssso, what do you do for a living nowadays?”

“I work in a library?”

“Really? But weren’t you training to be a teacher when you left?”

“I changed my mind.”

“Oh.”

…..

There was a long awkward silence until Deceit spoke up.

“Why did you have Virgil?”

“He ran away and then ran into me.”

“Ran away? Why?”

“He said he didn’t like it when you and Remus fought. It made him scared.”

“Oh… He should’ve heard when we used to fight.”

“Yes, that was quite the thing to behold. What did mother say it was again?”

“She said it was like a fox and a snake battling for the chance to be a part of one of those ritual things.”

“Ah yes, being in a cult does ensure that your mother will mention strange rituals every other sentence. When did you get out?”

“About 12 years ago when I met Remus. He has some… problems with what he thinks is funny or useful to a situation, but he grows on you.”

“Hmm. Well I should probably get going, my boyfriend will be wondering where I am.”

“Boyfriend?”

“Patton, he works across from the library in the pet store.”

Deceit nodded. “Well brother it was… good seeing you again.”

“Yes. We should see each other again. Preferably when your son isn’t running away.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, my science I’m an uncle.”

“That appears to be the case.”

“Well then, goodbye Deceit, try and argue quieter in the future.”

“I will.”

“Maybe you could get some couples therapy, I know a guy. Dr. Picani. Anyway, I am going to go now.” Logan turns to leave but before he gets too far Virgil runs up from behind and hugs him.

“Goodbye uncle Logan.”
