Flashback (Virgil's POV)

(Very short but sweet chapter)
(Also, early update because I just realised I reached 100 followers!)

15 years ago

I woke up to the sound of crying. I had slept outside on the bench-swing last night, after the others yelled at me for making Thomas too anxious for an audition. Looking around, I saw the source of the crying. A small bundle of blankets laying in front of the door.

What? I slowly got up, the wicker creaking. I knelt down beside the bundle, moving the blanket to see what was inside. It was a kid.

A freaking infant was left in front of our door. What the f-!

The kid giggled, reaching out towards me. It was... kinda cute?

"Uh, hi?" I said quietly. The kid waved his arms excitedly. I smiled a little, "what's your name?"

The kid wrapped his tiny hand around my finger. My eyes widened.

"Pranks..." His name was Pranks. I smiled, "hi Pranks, welcome to the Mindscape."

I carefully picked him up, cradling him in my arms, "there are others here too. They're kinda mean though. Well, except Patton. He's like a dad. Logic's okay, I guess. He's kinda bossy. Oh, and don't get me started on Princy! He's annoying and rude and loud and always thinks he's the center of the universe! But... I guess when you really get down to it, he's, uh, h-he's... alright... but don't tell anyone!"

Pranks laughed that tiny little baby laugh. I smiled. There was something so pure and innocent about little kids.

I rubbed his hand, which was still clamped around my finger. His skin was so soft! He giggled a little, grabbing one of my hoodie strings and trying to put it in his mouth. I laughed and pulled it away.

I got up from the ground in favor of sitting on the bench-swing. The chains creaked when I layed back, pushing the swing forward slightly. Pranks giggled again. God, this was the cutest baby ever.

"Oh, I haven't told you who I am. I'm Anxiety. The others don't like me much... I'm a dark side... you probably won't like me either..." I paused, "My name is Virgil, but you probably won't remember this."

I smiled down at the little kid. The others will be waking up soon.

Maybe one day things will change.

Maybe...
