3rd Person POV
Janus was in his room, working on some paperwork for one of the others when their was a curt knock on the door
"Enter."
The door opened and Logan walked in.
"Sorry to bother you but Patton asked me to give this to you."
He faces the logical side, frowning slightly at the file of work
"It's perfectly fine I'll take it."
Logan hands it to him and leaves.
Janus sighs skimming through the file, how was he even suppose to do this? Over half of it has nothing to do with him!
"Deep breaths, it's ok, you got this."
He glitched, becoming Virgil for five seconds before returning to himself and setting the folder down.
"Don't you dare start glitching. You're fine, everything is ok. It's fine."
He glitched again.
Janus sighed, shaking his head and returning to his work. He just had to focus, he's done this once. He can do it again.
Except he couldn't.
Everyday more and more work would be given to him.
Janus barely left his room anymore and when he did?
Well it was just to give the finished work to the respected side.
He had to do this thought. He had to prove himself worthy. Just like before.
Virgil on the other hand was becoming worried.
He hasn't seen his boyfriend in weeks, and whenever he asked about him, it gets shrugged off, almost like they don't want him to know.
So here he is, outside the deceitful sides room. After receiving no answer from the snake he opens the door a little and peeks inside
"Jan?"
He doesn't see him, just piles of paper spread out across the desk messily, the room itself way too messy for the usually neat snake to be living here.
The anxious side walks all the way into the room and that's when he sees him
Janus, curled up defensively in the corner of the room. Mumbling to himself and switching between sides faster then what should be possible. He's pulling at his hair, eyes wide and frantic.
"Janus..." he goes over and sits in front of the side.
He doesn't touch him but instead turns some peaceful music on, humming along quietly.
Virgil knows when his boyfriend is like this he has to get his attention without scaring him.
"Janus love, it's Virgil, can you hear me?"
No response.
Virgil moves a little closer, "just listen to my voice, ok? You Janus are in your room, I'm sitting in front of you. You're with me, at the lights place. You're no longer a kid, you're safe here."
Janus doesn't say anything but Virgil smiles a little as the glitching slows down.
"That's it love, nice and slow, Roman, Patton, me, Logan, Roman, you, Remus, Patton." He repeats the sides names till it slows even more.
"There you go, deep breaths Jan, everything's ok now. I'm right here."
He looks up at anxiety, "Vee...."
"Can I touch you love?"
He nods his head a little.
Virgil moves forward, gently removing his hands from his hair and wiping the tears off his face.
"There you go, you're ok now. You aren't back there, you aren't being forced to do anything."
"I can't do this, I can't do all the work, not again, please, I can't."
"It's ok, you don't have to, I'm here now." He holds the side gently, leaving small gentle kisses all over his face.
"I can't..I can't I can't I can't."
"Janus look at me."
"I can't go back, I can't do it they-they'll be mad thought, I need to finish the work but I can't."
Virgil holds him closer, "you don't have to, you don't, I won't let them hurt you again."
Getting up Virgil grabs some more comfy clothes and after getting concentrate helps Janus change and leads him to bed, he holds the side, reassuring him and playing with his hair till he falls asleep.
Virgil then gets up, grabbing all the paper work off the desk and goes down to the living room. The side grabs some food and water, setting it on the counter and standing in front of the others.
"Oh hey kiddo, what's all that?"
"The work you gave Janus."
"Is there something wrong with it?" Logan looks up from his book.
"Yes actually."
He looks at the sides, setting the papers on fire
"Don't ever make my boyfriend do your work again."
He grabs the food and water, going back upstairs to Janus' room.
Virgil sets the plate and glass on the night stand before getting back in bed with Janus.
He would be ok, Virgil will make sure of that.
A/N: I hope this was decent and at least somewhat what you were expecting. I know you said flashbacks but I was struggling to write a flashback and went with more of a panic attack, I hope that's ok.
Have a lovely morning/day/night buzzy bees!
