Thoughts Are LOUDER In Silence |COMPLETED|

Eight

Sometime passed before Thomas realized Deceit had fallen asleep on him. His breathing was slow and steady, and there was a look of peace on his face. Thomas shifted slightly to give Deceit a more comfortable position but stopped when Deceit gripped him tightly and his expression turned scared. Thomas held him close, running his hand through slimy boi's hair.

"Shh, you're ok Deceit. I've got you.." Thomas whispered quietly. The movie was coming to an end and the other three were dozing off while cuddling. He giggled quietly at his sides before grabbing the couch blanket and covering him and Deceit up the best he could without moving too much. Deceit held onto him tighter but was slowly relaxing again.

>>>Meanwhile with Logan.... ✋ ✌💣 💧⚐ ☜✞✋☹ >:3<<<

"What do you mean Apathy sewn Deceit's mouth shut?!" Logan asked Depression.

"Exactly what I said man," Depression shrugged, "Apathy was done with his shit and sewn it shut while his little minions helped hold him down. Rage, Self Doubt, and I weren't part of the cult but yeah...it was painful to witness..."

Logan sighed, pushing his glasses up and fixing his tie. For one, he has a dark side in his room; not that he minded. Depression never did anything but lay about and talk about music. For another, one of the most important parts of Thomas was unavailable. This won't only affect Thomas himself, but everyone in the mindscape as well.

"Did you tell him already, deary~?" A voice asked from the darkness. Self Doubt stepped out of his hiding spot. He came over to stand next to Depression. "God, it was horrible! I had to hold Rage back before our Leader got to him too."

"So Apathy has done this before?" Logan asked, summoning a notepad and pencil. Both of the dark sides nodded. "To who and why?"

"He mostly abuses Deceit for lying, but he's hurt the three of us as well for just existing. He made me burn my hand once while cooking, and made Self Doubt go into his dark phase for almost a month." Depression explained. Self Doubt shifted uncomfortably, his gaze shifting to the floor. He hated being reminded of when he goes into his 'dark phase' because it brings back awful memories.

Logan nodded, writing this all down. "I see... Where is Rage at?"

"In bed. I gave him some melatonin to calm him down because he's still upset about Deceit. Sure, I may have a not-so-great history with snake face, but he's still a father figure. Patton's counterpart if you will." Self Doubt replied bluntly. His usual facade was non existent due to Deceit's inability to lie. So now he was left with his vulnerability in plain sight.

"Interesting. I will see what I can do about this problem, but it might take a while. I will notify the others of the three of you staying here until we get the Apathy and 'cult'," Logan did quotation marks with his fingers to quote Depression, "situation figured out. When Rage wakes up, bring him here. I will ask Roman to make the three of you temporary rooms in the meantime."

"Y-you don't have to do this Logic," Depression insisted, "we can handle being in harms way. W-we've got our own prince Roman." He motioned towards Self Doubt.

"Just because you are dark counterparts of the rest of us does not mean I will not be willing to help. You deserve just as much credit for making our host function as the rest of us do." Logan explained. The two dark sides gave him a genuine thankful smile.

"You're the best Lo!" They said in unison. Self Doubt bowed in a dramatic order to show his gratitude. Depression stifled a laugh at the dark prince while Logan rolled his eyes.

The logical trait meant what he said about the three harmless dark sides. He promised them that he would return after talking to the others before sinking out; leaving the two in his room to wait.

The two dark sides just sat where they were standing, Self Doubt singing Newsies songs under his breath and Depression dozing off sitting up.
