Stand up(intruloceit)

I'm Sorry..

Janus' POV

"He has the be here somewhere Dearest." I say to Remus, who's looking more like a panicked Virgil at this point. He probably has the worst thought going through his head right now and I can't stand to see my boyfriend this upset, so the sooner we find Logan the better.

"Maybe it's better that he's gone. He might finally realize how dumb he's being." Patton pipes up, not even trying to help us.

"Shut up Morality." Virgil snaps back at him.

Roman rises up, white outfit now red from blood and green and black from the various monsters roaming Remus' half of their shared imagination. "He's not in my half, I searched as much as I could but as you can see, it's not the easiest."

"So that leaves a small bit of Remus' half and the darkside." Looking over my mental map

Roman speaks again. "You and Virgil can head to the darkside, I'll stay with Remus."

Virgil scoffs. "Yeah Princey, cause that worked out so well the last time." An odd sense of guilt goes over Roman's face. Weird, he can't actually be sorry, can he? "You and he go, Janus'll stay with Remus and we'll take Thomas too. Is that okay Jan?"

I nod. "Just make it back in one piece. Roman can be in multiple, I don't care."

And commence "Offended Princy Noises"tm

Virgil's POV

"You really chose to come back here over Logan?" Roman says.

"Do you ever shut up?" I say back annoyed.

Roman glares at me. "Trust me, I wouldn't want to be paired up on a little buddy buddy adventure with you. Maybe he just had a nerd freak out. Wouldn't be the first time."

"What did he ever do to you!?"

Roman flinches a bit. "He betrayed us to go screw the dark sides!"

"Maybe he left because no one cared about him there! Maybe that's why I left too!"

Roman falters for a bit before replying. "You think I didn't care about you?"

I feel guilt wash over me. "Roman.. stop it, you know we're over.."

"That didn't mean I stopped caring.." He stares down at the floor. "I'm sorry, for everything I did. I act like I can control my emotions but I can't. I got upset when we broke up and I took it out on the world around me.. I didn't know it would get this bad but it feels like if I backed down people might think less of me."

I try to make eye contact, but I can't get myself to do it. "Why do you care if people like Patton think less of you? Is he really worth it?"

"You don't know him like I do. He wasn't always like this. He used to be so much better, not this two faced jerk.. but I want him to do back to how I knew him, I guess I still have some kind of hope. But that clouded my judgement.."

I sigh. "Roman, I'm glad you apologized. But I'm not going to forgive you on the spot, you need to prove it. And I'm not the one you need to be apologizing to."

He looks up at me, stopping and making eye contact with me. I stop as well. "I understand."

I smile a little. "I'm glad you apologized though, a lot of people can't admit their mistakes like that." He smiles back at me.

"A touching sentiment really."

I flinch and look to where the new voice came from. I finally see someone in the shadows that send a chill down my spine. "D-Deimos.."

Sooooo, how do you feel about a Roman redemption arc? :)
