Hidden In Plain Sight

I-Deceit

     Thomas stood in his living room. He needed to talk to one specific side. He looked around and sighed. He needed information. Even if the one that he had to talk to lied with every word. It truly wasn't hard to figure out what he meant though.

     "Deceit." He said simply.

     Deceit appeared moments later in all his snekky glory. He looked at Thomas, confusion on his face. "Why am I not here..? You always summon me."

     "I need information, Deceit. I need you to tell me about the Dark Sides." Thomas said firmly. He gave Deceit a cold look. He really didn't like talking to him. But he felt like Deceit was the side that could give him the most information.

     "And why shouldn't I give you information when you've been soooooo nice to me in the past?" He crossed his arms, his mismatched brown and gold eyes narrowing in annoyance.

     "Please, Deceit. You're the only person I can ask. You're the only chance I have to learn more about the Dark Sides!" Thomas pleaded.

     Deceit continued to glare, but he seemed to be softening up. "...Fine. I won't give you the information you want. Only so you don't stop asking me." He sighed deeply.

     "Alright. How many Dark Sides are there?"

     "Two. There definitely aren't two more, aside from me."

     "Who are they?"

     Deceit smirked. "Well, you see, that totally wouldn't ruin the fun. I'll definitely tell you who they are. Now, I don't need to go. Farewell." He disappeared, leaving Thomas alone in his living room.

     "...Well, at least I know some things..." He mumbled. Two more Dark Sides... so that made three. How odd. He had Patton, Logan, Roman, and Virgil. Four Light Sides, three Dark Sides. It didn't make much sense to him. Then again, he had just talked to Deceit, so maybe that number was a lie? So much to think about. Who could the other Dark Sides be?

     Oh, was he curious. He looked around his living room and sighed. Time to start brainstorming. Maybe Logan could help? He'd do that later. He was tired out. Might as well go to bed. He'd think about this in the morning. He walked to his bedroom, yawning.

     Virgil sat in his room. He was yelling the lyrics to Na Na Na by MCR. Of course, he only did this when no one was around. He suddenly stopped. Someone was in his room. His mind immediately went to Deceit, and he frowned deeply. But he was glad to hear, instead of Deceit's voice, a happy, "Hello, my Chemically Imbalanced Romance!"

     Roman stood in the doorway of his room.

     "Hello, Fallen Empire." He replied, smirking. "How are you?" He walked over and gave Roman a quick peck on the cheek.

     "I'm doing well! And how are you feeling?" Roman smiled at his dear boyfriend.

     "I'm fine." Virgil shrugged and hugged Roman. "I was just worried when I knew there was someone in here... I don't know. I'm just really worried about a lot of things, and I have been since Deceit showed back up..."

     "I know, mi amore... But don't worry. We're here for you. I'm here for you." He rubbed Virgil's back softly.

     "Thank you so much Roman..." Virgil gave Roman a soft kiss.

     Roman kissed back, pulling away after a few moments. "It's no problem. Really."

     "I love you."

     "I love you too."
