Sanders Sides Boiz Oneshot REPRISE

Side Character [Analogical] (Storybook AU)

There's just something about a "going against destiny" trope in fanfics I love, Soulmate AU or fantasy, I just love it.

STORYTIME!

Logan is nothing but a side character. He is the brother of the Crown Prince of Harmonia. He was aware of this place being nothing but a storybook. He had the story memorized by each string of dialogue, yet he didn't care that his worth was nothing in the narrative of this world. He was the only character who could ever break from that path and nobody would ever know. Why? Because he was naught but a side character. It's reasuring to know that no matter what you will get a happy ending though.

Virgil is the main antagonist for the majority of the story. He works for the two villains who are behind the destruction of the universe until he has his major breakdown. He almost assasinates Roman before his conscious forbids him to and he crumbles in the arms of the main character: Roman. Then the house join forces to stop the two bad guys from destroying the world, including the unloved abandoned twin of Roman and older brother of Logan. However there was one problem:

Logan has developed an affinity for Virgil.

He had read through his own story and found himself infatuated with Virgil's story. The man forced to do bad things because he had grown up with nothing other than villainy only to break down with the crushing pressure of his inner morals. He made mistakes and learned, then he goes back to fix everything he has ever done. Logan had become one of the fans, Virgil as his favorite character. Logan, dare he say, started developing feelings for him. But, he's a side character. The Epilogue ends with the marrsige of Virgil and Roman. It wasn't meant to be.

It was torture every time the story came to a close and he was forced to be the best man for his older brother who got everything. The fame, the fortune, and the man of his dreams. Logan never dared say a word, not knowing what would happen if he altered the story in any way. He always knew it was coming, and he will always pretend to smile for his brother whenever he gets to marry the man that Logan loves. He never even got a chance, thank you author. Thank you for breaking Logan's heart. So every time someone opens the book.... Logan knows he must go through the bittersweet ending once more.

"Logan?"

He looked up when he heard the casual voice of the future second king to Harmonia. Logan was extremely confused. Throughout the entire story he had no dialogue with Virgil until the epilogues where he tells him a single sentence: take care of the kingdom. The book hasn't been opened in a while, so life had been pretty domestic and happy. It's  not like anything else can happen. There isn't any sequel. Logan closed the book he was reading as Virgil sat across from him in a chair.

"Virgil, what can I do for you?"

"You know about it too, right? The storybook?"

Logan felt everything freeze around him. His blood went cold, making everything feel hotter around him. He blankly stared at Virgil's face as he compressed himself together. He cringed his shoulders together, holding his hands in his lap and crossing his legs by the ankles. He had this guilty, pitiful look all over his face. Virgil realized that Logan wasn't going to talk and he let out a sigh, averting his eyes to the ground. When did he learn? What is he doing talking about this? What is going on? Did it have anything to do with him as a person rather than the useless brother nobody loves? 

"Sorry, I must habe scared you. I thought since you're the smartest person here you'd know. But I have proof! I've found the end of the world. It's by the tower I use daily to live in. It's all dark over there now because the book is closed. I found the page where it talks about the authod and everything. And I just really need someone to talk to about this because I don't want to hurt Roman ya'know?"
