That night, everyone went to bed with guilt weighing on their shoulders. Even Logan, who didn't even think something like this would ever effect him. Then again, he was proven wrong. They couldn't believe that the anxious boy produced nothing but dreams. No one expected it. While the others produced dreams as well, their clips could be swayed into nightmares. The slightest mention didn't even phase Anxiety's dreams.

Roman felt the worst. He went hard on the boy, drilling him with accusing words. He did something he never thought he'd do. Judge without knowing. It hurt knowing how much he shattered any bit of friendship he and Anxiety ever had, and it hurt even more to know that whatever they had would never blossom into anything more.

And to top it all off, it got very awkward seeing one another around the commons. Or when Thomas summoned them. That especially. There were the small comments on Thomas's decisions and respectfully argued thoughts, but nothing like it once was. And poor Thomas had to stand there, cringing when it happened. The only one that actually communicated with the boy anymore was Patton. To check on him of course. Also, Morality was the only one that defended Anx's honor in a way.

Right now, Anxiety was in the kitchen, getting him a small snack. Logan had walked in and Anxiety scoffed. He's been making it very hard for them to even talk to him. Anytime Logic Or Prince would try to talk or walk near him, he'd roll his eyes or just flat out walk away. Anx was on his way out with his snack, when he ran into Roman. AWKWARD...

"Uh hi..."

"Uh bye."

Anxiety went to walk around Prince, but he grabbed his arm. Anx's head snapped towards Roman like be had slapped him.

"Are you cra-"

"We need to talk Virgil."

"It's Anxiety to you and we have nothing to talk about."

Anxiety snatched his limb back from the royal and continued on, only to have the exit blocked. But this time, by Logan.

"Roman is right. You can't keep avoiding us like this."

"Oh, really?"

"Well technically yes bu-" the logical facet was cut off abruptly by the darker trait.

"Save it, brain waves. I honestly don't want to, nor have to hear a word your saying."

Anxiety brushed past the two traits to leave, but what Roman said is what made Anxiety finally snap inside.

"You know what, you've been really unfair. All we've been trying to do is apologize to you and make it right. However, that seems impossible because you won't even give us the time of day. Don't we at least deserve-"

"Stop. I'm so tired. You don't get the right- YOU DON'T GET THE FUCKING RIGHT TO APOLOGIZE!" Anx shouted, throwing food down in the process. (Those poor cookies (╥_╥))

Both Logan and Roman jumped at Anxiety's outburst. He had never been louder than anyone before. Morality immediately ran in. However, instead of intervening between the three, he let Anx continue. He knew Anxiety had finally broke and he knew this was the only way to finally let out his emotions. By snapping.

"YOU DON'T GET TO CLARIFY YOUR ACTIONS, YOU DON'T GET TO MAKE ME FEEL SORRY FOR NOT LISTENING TO YOU ASSHOLES! YOU GET TO STAND THERE AND FEEL GUILTY! FEEL HOW I FEEL EVERYDAY!"

By now, Anxiety had tears spilling over the room of his eyes, but he didn't care. He needed this.

"Every fucking day, I get to hear how I'm bad for Thomas and how all I do is make things worse. Little do you fucking know, I'm the one that keeps him alive! I'm the voice in his ear when he needs a push against peer pressure, I'm the one telling him to think about the consequences! Not you, ME!"

Morality had walked over to the boy, staying his arms around his shoulders, allowing him to continue.

"And on top of that, I get hear how my oh so toxic dreams can coerce Thomas's into a nightmares, little did you dumbasses fucking know, I CAN'T PRODUCE BAD DREAMS! EVER!"

The anxious trait was red in the face and now, emotionally exhausted, but still kept going.

"Why the fuck do you think I sleep allll the time? Tell me, Logan! You're the smart one, you should know this. Right?!"

Logic looked to the ground, unable to look Anxiety in the eyes.

"My "dark dreams" are my only escape from this fucked up life I've been given."

Hearing that made the tears Roman had threatening his eyes slip over and betray him. Logan even let a few tears escape. They couldn't believe they made Anxiety's existence so terrible that he sleeps to escape from them. Roman never intended to hurt the boy. All he wanted to do was protect Thomas. But by doing so, he hurt the person that deeply cared for, whether he knew it or not.

"But you know what, doesn't matter. You don't care... you never did."

Anxiety gently released himself from Patton's grasped and walked back into his room. (THOSE POOR COOKIES o(╥﹏╥)o)

Morality looked at the two in  disappointment and left the kitchen. They didn't know what to do after that. They could barely move. Logan had eventually went to his room, leaving the royal there. Roman plopped down on the stool next to him, wiping stray tears from his face.

"Why can't I make things right?"

~•~•~•~

Later that night, Roman went to the memory storage to prepare Thomas's dreams. He looked at the monitor and noticed it was off the charts. Turns out Anxiety's explosion caused Thomas to have a mental and emotional break. Luckily, Joan and Talyn were there to help. Roman sighed, knowing if it weren't for him and Logan trying to confront Anxiety, Thomas wouldn't have broken down that bad. He rolled his chair over to the shelves where they dreams lied. He scrolled over to Anxiety's section and randomly choose a box without looking.

He inserted it into the player and watched the clip. Roman's entire expression changed. In the clip, Roman was cradling Anxiety while they were sitting under a tree. The young boy was laughing at something the royal, who was planting kisses on his face. He couldn't believe his eyes. He reached over and looked at the date on the clip. It was from two and a half weeks ago. Which meant it was recent. Anxiety had liked him back! That is, if he still even like him.

That's when it hit Roman. He might just ruined the chance to ever be with Anxiety. To let him know how he felt. Prince had to fix this. He needed to.
