Very carefully, I took out memory after memory. I carried them close to my chest to store in my room in case I needed to put them back for some reason.
I didn't want them to not know him completely, so I kept in some old ones that weren't harmful, just annoying.
I didn't bother getting rid of Patton's memories of the two of us dating, since he liked watching past videos and he'd see the one where we explained that we broke up anyway.
After Logan and Patton, I moved onto Roman.
The first one I rushed to remove was the one of Deceit... touching him. I almost wanted to rip it, but I kept it clutched to my chest like the others. It hurt to be reminded of what Deceit did, but I had to look through them all for Roman.
Next was Thomas. He didn't have to know anything. He was convinced he was an honest person, so he didn't have to know Deceit. I planned to keep him away from Thomas as much as possible.
Thomas didn't have many memories of Deceit looking like Deceit, which I got rid of. But he did have memories of Deceit dressed as Patton and some of the others to get me in trouble, so I took those out too.
Deceit had left me alone and went to his room right as I started to look through the first cabinet, so I figured I'd leave.
Holding all of the memories, I made my way out the door and into my bedroom to hide them next to where I used to hide the book of conversations.
When I stored them there, I went to Roman's room. He was definitely happier and back to his strong, confident self. He was checking himself out in his full length mirror.
I had never felt so happy to see him so egotistical before.
I walked inside and wrapped my arms around the middle of his torso. "I love you, you fucking dumbass," I said happily, knowing he could be happy again.
"Back at you, Jack Smellington."

Patton seemed more excited, which was good.
Logan seemed less emotional, which was good too.
Then, a few weeks flew by.
Everything went back to normal. The good kind of normal.
It was almost too normal.

Fanfiction♥ C O M P L E T E D ♥ * Written long, long before Deceit's name reveal! Please bear with me. I would love to change each of the names but there are simply too many chapters and I have written too many books, and I already need to change the name in...
