(LAMP) The orphanage of secrets (poly sanders)

Sixteen

[A\N - I'm  so so SOOO sorry for updating two days late! I was to busy studying, our exams have started two weeks ago and I have to learn allot...since I took a lot of hard subjects...JIPPY... But on the bright side, this is my last year of high school so... I'm happy but sad at that fact, because I love high school. I love learning in general. *cough cough* I'm such a ravenclaw *caugh cough* what houses are you guys in?]

"Were are Pat and V?" A sleepy Roman asks me. I was on my bed, typing away on my laptop.

"Um... Patton went out to get breakfast half an hour ago. Virgil left two minutes ago to do the same." I told him. He sat cross legged next to me and leaned on my shoulder.

I heard him sigh. "Were are the days when Virgil was the last one to wake up?" He yawns. "When did it become me?" He asks tiredly. He then hums. "At least he's getting in sleep."

I kiss the top of his head. "For sure, my prince." I heard his stomach rumbling. "Want to join the others, love?"

On the way towards the breakfast, we saw Patton talking with Talyn, our house supervisor. Roman and I waved to them both and met up with Virgil in the cafeteria... Roman and I froze. He was talking to Deceit. Deceit quickly spotted us, greeted Virgil rather rudely and walked away.

Roman looked furious. I guess he is awake now. We sat down with Virgil at our usual table. We sat infront of him. "Why were you talking with the shit snake?" Roman quickly demand.

Virgil looked unimpressed by Roman's outrage. "Befriending him." Virgil spat out sarcastically. "Can't I just talk to someone?"

"Not when it's Deceit! What were you-!?" I covered Roman's mouth with my hand.

"What Princey is trying to say is that we trust you, but what were the two of you discussing?" I gave Roman a look.

"He was making fun of you Ro-Ro. I just... 'politely' asked him to not do that." Virgil says in a tone that is way to calm. "He's a sick basterd."

Roman licked my hand. I hit him. "Why?" I rhetorically asked. I rubbed my hand off on my jeans.

"Why was he smiling then?" Roman asked, calmed down.

Virgil srugged. "Mx Joan will be coming for me soon." He said as if that's completely normal. The air around us grew thick.

"What did you do?" Roman asked, memorized.

"Punched him before we came in here. Maybe I punched him twice. I lost count." He said neutrality. I was shocked.

"Why would you-!?" I tried to ask but Virgil stopped me.

He slammed his hands on the table. "You think I like it when he keeps on being a bloody transphobic bitch! I couldn't take him belittling us anymore! He needs to be taught a lesson!" He said in a fit of rage.

"V. I understand, I really do. We all want to teach him a lesson, but violence is not always the answer!" I scolded.

"What's going on?" Patton asks as he sits next to Virgil.

"I hit Deceit. That's what." Virgil grunts. "I let my anger get the best of me. I'll admit that. I just couldn't help myself. He's been asking for it for years."

"Guys... I feel sick..." I heard Roman say. I grabbed his hand. Virgil's anger disappears and it turns into worry.

Suddenly, Roman sneezed. In the next moment, he disappears. And by disappears, I mean, he was here just a second ago. It's like he was suddenly erased by the universe.

"R-Roman..?" Virgil asks. He holds up his hand.

"What is he-?"

"He can sence spirits. Maybe one accidentally turned Roman into one again. And Since Virgil has a diamond mind, he can find out were his soulmates are once he has met them. It's so strong that he can feel were we are even if we're in China or Africa. You can do it too, Lo-Lo. You just need to-"

"I can't find him!" Virgil says histarically. "I can feel him but he's everywhere! The hell does that mean?!?"

I heard Patton growl. "Deceit."

The three of us swiftly stood up and ran outside, behind the building. Deceit always hangs out here. "Were is Roman!" I yelled when we arrived. It was only Deceit standing there, infront of me. Virgil and Patton stood behind me.

"I haven't the slightest idea." He said in a mocking tone.

"You wanted me, didn't you!?" I yelled at him. "Why take Roman!? Let him go!" Deceit smirked. "Take me instead." I commanded.
