Dominance Pt 2

It was like time came to a standstill. Logan looked disappointed, Patton looked like he was about to burst into tears, Roman looked disgusted and betrayed and Virgil was absolutely fuming. They can't know. I just overthinking this. Unless they do know. Oh shit. No, no, no. This bad. I know I shouldn't have trusted a dark side, but it just felt so goo- No. Not now. I owe them and explanation and I deserve what I get.

"Guys I can explain-" "How could you Y/N?!" Roman spat, tears welling up in his eyes as he scowls at you. Seeing Roman, so strong and fearless, in this state breaks your heart. He's angry at you. Look what you did. You try to ignore the nagging voice and turn to Patton looking for some support from the dad figure but he brushes you off, tears streaming down his face. " I-I'm sorry Y/N. I can't." He chokes out and you have to take a step back.

Look. What. You. Did. This time you don't even try to push the thought out of your mind and you feel salty tears begin to spill. "I don't understand Y/N. How could you? Especially with him." Logan says through gritted teeth. A newfound rage fills your veins and you struggle to keep your emotions in check. "Why is this any of your business anyway?! You shouldn't be trying to control me!"

Whoops. The sides collectively stop in shock and your hand flies up to your mouth. Virgil is the first to react. "So this is the 'thank you' we get?! We look after you and care for you and you go and stab us in the back. That's low Y/N. Even for you." He snaps, flexing and unflexing his fist to keep his anger in check. "If your version of looking after me is keeping me in the dark about things I should have the right to know about, then sure you've done a great job."

Virgil flinches slightly sensing the venom in your words. You're practically a ticking time bomb and you can all sense it. An intensity hangs around the room that could shatter like glass at the slightest movement or word. "We were just trying to keep you safe." Sniffles Pat and you can practically hear his heartbreaking. Look. What. You. Did. You bite down hard on your lip, wiping your tears away.

"I'm sorry." You choke out, not being able to meet any of their eyes. You shift your weight as you feel Virgil advancing towards you cautiously. You feel his hand on your shoulder and look up to meet his eye, his chocolate brown eyes brimming with tears. Suddenly, a flicker of yellow encloses over his eyes and his hand lashes out, slapping your cheek, hard. "VIRGIL!" You hear Patton scream as you hold your cheek in pain.

Virgil recoils, grabbing his hand and stumbling away from you. Tears streak down his cheeks as he cries silently. "I deserved that." You groan, regaining your posture and wiping the tears from your eyes. "Don't you dare say that," Patton growls, coming closer to you and taking you into his arms and rubbing comforting circles on your back. Chocked sobs make their way out as you melt into Patton, inhaling his comforting scent.

"Patton step away." You hear Roman say sternly and you look up to see a familiar yellow glint in his eye. "No Roman." Patton cries into your hair and you can feel him shaking slightly. "It's ok Pat." You whisper, "I'm okay." Patton looks back at you, tears streaming down his face. " You're always safe with me Kiddo." He whispers, placing a caring kiss on your forehead and going to stand next to Logan, gripping his hand tightly.

Logan nods at you as if in agreement with Patton and you return the nod, thankful for his friendship and understanding nature. You turn to Roman and Virgil. They hate you now. Virgil looks at the ground, shifting nervously. Roman scowls at you, his arms crossed and snarl playing across his lips. "Roman please-" "NO Y/N!" He shouts and you jump back, flinching slightly at his aggression.

"I don't control who you're attracted to but did it have to be him? You went behind our backs Y/N! We deserve to be angry!" Roman huffs, brushing his hand nervously through his hair. "His name is Remus! You're treating him likes he's an animal!" You cry, practically fuming. A creeping feeling rushes up your spine as you feel a hand on your shoulder. "You called?" Remus coos, taking his place beside you.

A wave of unease rushes over the room and you can see the other sides squirm at Remus's presence. Roman is the first to make a move, lashing out at Remus screaming "YOU BASTARD!" You push yourself between them and close your eyes, bracing for the impact that never comes. Roman freezes and begins to back away slowly his eyes seemingly flashing yellow. He drops to the floor suddenly and your heartaches to hear your strongest and most courageous friend, weeping to himself.

"Roman please just-" You plead, but are interrupted by Roman's harsh tone. "NO Y/N!! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH! Just please-please leave." He stammers out the last part, shaking steadily on the floor. Look. What. You. did. The words ring in your ears as you stumble back into Remus, who immediately takes you into his arms. You bury your face into his chest and bite back your tears to hear Roman, still sobbing on the floor.

"I think it would be best right now if we leave," Remus whispers. "You can back when everything has settled down. Okay?" You look up and nod at Remus and then turn to the broken friends around you. Virgil stares at the ground when you try to meet eyes with him and you can see tears running down his cheeks. Logan meets your gaze and gives a solid nod of agreement and shares a look with Remus.

"Hey, Pat," You call, "I'm going to go away for a while but I promise I'll be back okay." You walk towards him, immediately getting enveloped in a hug. "Stay safe kiddo." Patton sniffles, squeezing you tightly. "Of course pop." You mumble, giving him a meek smile, which he returns. You take your place next to Remus again and he takes your hand in his. "Let's go." You sigh, getting one last look at your friends for what would be longer than you thought,

"Good work Remus, everything is going according to plan. The idiotic light sides are in pieces, Y/N's secret admirer is broken and soon I will have a new toy to play with. This may even be going better than expected."
