Sanders Sides One-shots

Insecurity (part 2)

Tw: A lot of self deprecation- like a LOT. Allusions to self harm and suicide, mentions of blood, angry/protective Remus, kinda unsympathetic!Janus, Roman needs help

A boy in a Disney prince-like outfit and a villain version of him fell into the spot where Creativity was just sitting.

"What the hell?" Anxiety stated.

"W-Where's Romulus...?" Patton cried.

The two boys stayed silent. Then they stood up.

"Who are you?" Deceit asked.

Remus sighed, "We...we're Creativity..."

They all gasped. Even Logan was shocked.

"What about Romulus...?" Patton asked.

The two couldn't explain the suicide...and Roman was terrified that they'd hate them.

"Who...?"Roman asked.

"I'm Intrusive Thoughts..." Remus introduced himself.

Roman bowed, "I am "good creativity"..."

"May we acquire your names...?" Logan asked.

The two hesitated, "Not yet..."

"Well...Patton, where should they go?" Janus asked.

Patton hesitated, "Uh...Intrusive Thoughts should go with you guys..."

Roman startled, "You're separating us???"

Remus hugged himself, "Of course..."

Patton nodded, "I'm sorry...but it's what needs to happen."

Roman could feel himself panicking as he looked at Remus.

Roman doesn't know how to be Confidence!

Few Years Later

Roman stared in his mirror, Remus sitting on his bed. Remus didn't have his Duke outfit on, he's wearing his natural outfit, from when he was part of Romulus. Roman was glitching back and forth between his Disney Prince and Insecurity, his natural form.

Remus looked at him with concern, "Are you sure you're okay? Maybe we should drop the act and explain to the others..?"

"No!" Roman said, the whispers joining him, "Romulus wanted me to be confidence! I have to do this forever! It's the least I can do for him...it's..."

"Don't," Remus demanded, "I know I was mad at you for the first few months, but that wasn't you. That was Romulus, you were just unlucky enough to be the manifestation of what he was doing to himself."

Roman laughed bitterly, "We were just a physical version of his internal battle. And I was just unlucky enough to be the bad guy... and I won. Yay."

"You were not the bad guy. Romulus was his own enemy. We couldn't have done anything. Remember, I stayed silent. Not because I wanted to, but because I didn't have a choice. You didn't either."

Roman shook his head as he broke down sobbing, his room started whispering, "All your fault, could've been stronger, could've shut up and stopped him, you killed him, useless, stupid, can't do anything right, can't even be confidence like he wanted you to."

Remus rushed over and comforted his brother.

"Oh Roman, thank goodness you don't have a mustache... Otherwise, between you and Remus...I wouldn't know who the evil twins is..."
