Shut Up |Remus Angst|

"We'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter. What you goin' do when there's blood in the water? The price of your greed is your son and your daughter. What you goin' do when there's blood in the water..?" Roman sang softly as he sat outside of Thomas's bedroom with a sketchbook in hand. He was sketching out a memory from their childhood. It was a rather sad memory but he held it dear even still.

Remus listened to his brother sing. He sat with his back to the door, a yawn escaping past those lips of his. The duke thought back to his dream, a sad smile across his face as he looked at the bracelet hidden by the sleeve of his outfit.

"We'll never be bad like King was! Together we can rule this kingdom and keep everyone happy!" Six-year-old Remus exclaimed as he and his twin brother played in the flowers.

"Yeah! You'll be an awesome Prince, 'Mus!" Roman excitedly shouted back. Remus giggled and shook his head. Roman looked confused as he sat next to Remus. "What do you mean 'no', 'Mus?"

"You're the prince, Ro-bro. I'll be the duke!" Remus replied as he put magic on the flower bracelet he made. He slipped the green rose bracelet on his brother. "Friendship bracelet! We'll always be best friends, right?"

"Of course, 'Mus! And Brain and Heart can be our friends too!" Roman cheered. He made Remus a red rose bracelet, keeping with their signature colors. Maybe in the coming years, they'll regret color choice because ew, they didn't like each other romantically.

Roman magicked the bracelet before slipping it on Remus and giving his twin one last hug...

"Hey Ro..? Can you fetch Logan for me?" Remus asked through the door, not wanting to leave the room. Well, it wasn't that he didn't want to leave the room; he felt dizzy, and his mouth was killing him from speaking so much. Not to mention removing the stitches was painful enough on its own.

He heard Roman fall silent before hearing footsteps walking away from the door. After a while, a completely new set of footsteps went towards the door and Logan's coded knock rang out. Remus moved away from the door to open it a little to give Logan the ability to come into the room.

"Roman said you wanted me, 'Mus?" Logan asked softly as he slipped through the small opening of the door because he didn't want to open it up all the way. Remus nodded a little with a tired look.

"I don't feel good... I'm dizzy, my mouth hurts and I'm starting to get a headache.." Remus murmured as he made grabby hands for Logan. Logan gently scooped up his platonic love and went to go sit on the bed with Remus in his lap. Remus leaned against his chest and sighed softly.

"You might be coming down with something. Either that or you're having a side effect from when your mouth had been sewn shut.." Logan murmured in a soft and sad tone. He gently made Remus look up at him so he can look at the stitching wounds. "I'll need to put some more ointment on the wounds to keep it disinfected."

Remus sighed softly. "So many thoughts have been going through my head and usually I say them but I guess I got used to not talking way too quickly.."

"Remus, you don't have to be silent with me. Now, how about you let me hear some of those thoughts?"
