A Collection Of Various One Shots Depicting Thomas Sanders's Characters

[No Ship] ~ Binge-Watching (Pt. 3)

I originally said that I wasn't going to make a part three when wolf345701 suggested it, but then Clianta233 and I got talking about how the different sides would react to a new Anxiety taking Virgil's place, and furthermore how this new Anxiety would feel, and I just had to write it. So here is the part three to a one shot that was supposed to only be one part when I originally wrote it.

Keep in mind that this will have hints of Prinxiety due to the storyline of the "Binge-watching" series having romantic Prinxiety in it, however it won't focus on it. This one shot will be told from the perspective of the new anxiety trait that appears at the end of part two.

"You really expect us to call you 'Anxiety'?" Roman raised his voice.

"It's what I embody. It's as normal as calling him Logic or him Morality." I pointed out.

"I'm sorry, but we already had an Anxiety. You're too late for that." Roman crosses his arms.

"Well, apparently not anymore." I blinked, knowing I had crossed a line but not caring. Roman had been nothing but rude to me ever since I developed and Roman realized I wasn't "Virgil", whoever that was.

"That doesn't change anything! It's bad enough you're here and Virgil's not—" Roman's voice rose.

"That's not my fault! I didn't ask to develop!" I defended. 

"Please, don't fight." Patton's eyes were focused on the floor, scared to look at me, unsure of how he felt. "We can call you 'Fear' instead. That way we don't have to call you Anxiety."

I bit my lip. "I guess." 

Wow, could they make it any more obvious that I'm the cheap replacement that no one wanted?

Roman probably wanted to send that message. Patton at the very least tried to be nice, but it was obvious that he was conflicted on how to feel. As for Logan... I can tell that Logan is mourning the loss of their friend just as much as his peers, but he was the only one who didn't let that change how he perceived me, and of course I'm grateful for that. I respect that Logan can be reasonable when need be.

I didn't even know who Virgil was. To me, Virgil was a name that haunted me like a silent shadow, a hole that I was expected to fill but couldn't. These people didn't want me, they made that much obvious. They wanted Virgil back, but they were stuck with me instead. 

The three other traits were all staring at me expectantly. It was enough to make any anxiety trait anxious, so I sighed and said, "Well, uh, see you guys later?"

"Can't wait." Roman rolled his eyes sarcastically. 

"Roman, be nice." Patton said.

He still wouldn't make eye contact with me.

Logan didn't say anything.

I sank down and reappeared in my room... The room that used to be Virgil's. Virgil had left decorations on the wall, and they were my only clue as to what kind of a person Virgil could have been. He had posters for Nightmare Before Christmas, and one Death Note poster, a My Chemical Romance poster... Ha. He seems very emo. 

Something occurred to me as I pulled out my phone, however. Maybe I didn't have to rely on the posters to find out more about this "Virgil". I opened the YouTube app, and pressed play on the video I wanted.

Hours passed before I was up to date on Thomas's Sanders Sides videos. I stared at my screen and refreshed to make sure there weren't any Sanders Sides videos I was missing. I wasn't missing any, but one thing still didn't make sense to me.
