A Moceit Story

Truth

reference to the new Aside vid so spoiler warning. oh, and I think angst warning? tw! arguing 

A loud bang woke Virgil as his door is thrust open, Roman burst in. He made a B line for the groggy side and tackled him into a hug, startling Virgil. What was he playing at?

After Patton had left, the guilt just kept building up so Virgil had tried to sleep it off. A good rest can work wonders, Patton would always say. 

In this case, it wasn't true.

"Your dad is terrifying and I'm so sorry. I can't lie with him... He knows everything..." Roman was close to tears and clearly violently shaken. This was rather out of character for the local Prince. 

Virgil sits up, attempting to pry Roman off him, "My dad? Patton? What are you on about?"

From the shadows, yellow glove reach out, "Try again, kiddo..."

Remus and Logan lay out in the imagination, looking up at constellations that danced in the sky. Sir Fucksallot the fifth was nearby having finally gotten used to- and rather fond of- Logan. He galloped around and shook the ground with every step- he was more like a giant puppy then spider. 

"I'm glad you're feeling better Remus."

"Much better. In fact, better enough to rip your clothes off and ruin you" Remus cuddles closer and Logan puts an arm around him gently.

"I know my love." Logan returns the gesture, pulling his boyfriend close as their pet played with some poor defenceless thing a few feet away.

They lay there for sometime just listening to each other's heart beats and watching the sky before Remus breaks the silence, "I can't believe that Thomas is ignoring us both again. Me, I understand, but you? With out you I would have killed him by now." Remus grumbles.

An orange glow flashes across Logan's eyes as Thomas's pure ignorance to his existence stirs up anger in his blood, "Remus, I've told you many times, you have worth and don't deserve to be ignored."

"And you do?"

"Thomas is just preoccupied right now. He and Nico have something special. Like us." Logan attempts to distract the both.

"He should never be too busy for you. I can only have fun when you're keeping Thomas safe."

"So this is a personal agender?"

Remus kissed Logan's cheek, "Obviously all I care about is that" he says sarcastically, squeezing Logan's hand twice to indicate that. Logan was never good with tone or social cues so in day to day conversations when text tone indicators where unavailable they made ways to work around it. 

A distorted yelling voice echoed across the imagination, it was definitely Virgil's dark voice.

Logan sighs, "Now I have to go sort whatever mess is going on..." he starts untangling himself from Remus to get up.

"Or," Remus places a kiss on Logan's lips, "you can let them work it out because it's not your job to peace keep." He kisses him again.

"Are you bribing me?" Logan asks, an eyebrow raised.

"Oh most definitely. Is it working?"

Logan smiled, returning the gesture, "Most definitely" 

Janus stood in the hallway now, Virgil in his doorway, "So you hated the idea of anyone else being happy so much that you lied and manipulated someone you claim to love and call me the villain? All I ever did was love Patton and help him accept himself but no! I'm obviously evil and am unworthy of love. I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." 

Virgil's eyes were black and everything around him seemed slightly hazed, "You are evil and I only did what I had to too protect my family!"

"What about when I was your family?!"

"Don't bring that up. I never asked you to take me in! I never asked to be part of your family! I NEVER ASKED TO BE A DARKSIDE!" his voiced carried far again; the walls of his room shook but stopped in the hall as it was outside of his power.

Janus stepped forward in rage, "AND YOU THINK I DID?" Virgil steps back to match every step forward Janus takes, "YOU THINK I WANTED TO BE SEEN AS THE BAD GUY? THE EVIL SNAKE? NO! ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO BE LOVED. I RAISED YOU LIKE MY OWN AND YOU LEAVE- I LOVED YOU AS MY FAMILY! YOU DON'T OWE ME A CENT FOR ME LOVING YOU LIKE MY SON BUT DON'T I FINALLY DESERVE SOMEONE WHO CARES?!" he pauses, catching his breath, "Patton cared... and you took him from me..." tears were falling freely from Janus's eyes now and Virgil had been backed against a wall by his steps forward.

Roman comes quietly behind Janus, gently pulling him away only for the snake to fall onto the ground, emotionally exhausted. He just sat there, crying- finally letting it all out. 

Roman couldn't help but feel pity for the man deep in his chest- which he ignored to help his friend. Virgil was his priority right now.

Evening out his breaths, Virgil let his fight response slowly dwindle. Roman helped by asking Virgil questions about Disney- it was a new method that did well at distracting Virgil from what had made him anxious. It took a few moments before he felt well enough to give Roman a thankful nod.

Shaking still, both Virgil and Roman turn around to see Janus still on the floor, but now he was muttering apologies into the arms of none other then Patton. 

Virgil froze, wide eyed. 

Morality probably heard everything... Oh no... no no no no! He's going to think Virgil's an awful person and he's going to banish him. He's going to lose his family again. He's going to lose everything. This was all... all Janus's fault!

If he'd just stayed away then none of this would be happening!

Patton's eyes were amphibian as he looked at the side he called son, "Someone explain everything to me right now."
