♥ 23 - manipulation ♥

*roman's pov*

I heard someone scream for help from me. It sounded like Virgil, but why would he need me? I'm nothing.

I finally recovered from my panic attack and went downstairs to see- Patton sprawled face down on the floor.

"Hey, padre, you okay?" I asked.

"Me and Logan broke up," Patton whimpered. "And Virgil's trying to ruin our lives. He's evil."

Virgil? Evil?

I knocked on Logan's door.

"GET OUT!" he shouted.

I was going to respond, but decided against it.

That's it. Maybe Virgil never had the best relationship with Logan, but he would never, ever hurt Patton.

I ran to my room, got my magic sword, and thought of where "Virgil" might be.

My sword glowed bright red, telling me that danger was near, but I didn't see anything. I held my sword up just in case.

"Who are you and where are you?"

"Why, I'm right here, your highness!" said Virgil, who appeared behind me.

My sword glowed even brighter so I held it to "Virgil's" face. "Who are you?" I demanded.

He spun around and when he faced me again, there was a man who looked like us except for one huge thing; half of his face looked like a snake's.

He wore a black hat and yellow dishwashing gloves, which I just couldn't take seriously.

His clothing was mostly black, but contained some yellow.

It's a slimy boi.

Before I could do anything, he shoved me into my room and locked me in a cage that he had created.

He changed back into Virgil's clothing.

His eyes turned gold and I looked right into them until I felt dizzy.

"Roman, baby, you know I don't want to hurt you," he said sympathetically. "I love you."

I was stuck in his trance. "I love you too."

He smiled sweetly. "See you soon, Prince Charming."

"See you, Virgil."

*virgil's pov*

You know... It's been a great day. Watching my best friend, my boyfriend, and my kind of friend all hate me was fantastic.

It was equally as fun to watch Deceit dress as Patton and tell Thomas everything "I" did.

Thomas looked at Deceit with wide eyes.

"That's why I've been feeling worse than usual?! It was Anxiety's fault?"

"Yeah... It's sad though. I almost didn't want to tell you because I thought he was better than that," Deceit said.

"I can't believe you dated him, Patton."

"Me neither." He looked at the floor sadly and Thomas put his arm over his shoulders.

"Don't worry. I'll talk to him and everything will be back to normal."

He disguised as me again and went to Roman's room where he basically imprisoned him.

Roman smiled at "me", hypnotized, and his eyes turned gold.

Deceit unlocked the door of the cage and Roman walked out and hugged him.

His stupid mind tricks.

Then, I watched him pretty much seduce my boyfriend and made out with him.

FUCK.

When Deceit left, Roman's eyes turned his normal color again. He put his hand over his mouth and gasped in realization of what he'd just done.

Snake Face appeared next to me. He snapped and my mouth opened. My restraints broke and I could turn my head again.

"I've done my business here. Go get them to forgive you. I'd like to see you try," he said, switching to his normal clothing.

I left my room and he disappeared. It all felt pointless. Roman would be the only one to forgive me if he didn't think I was just tricking him.

Patton and Logan would definitely hate me for the rest of our lives.

Thomas would try to completely get rid of me.
