Forced Liar ~ Sanders Sides

Chapter 9 - 3 Days Remaining

Deceit finished writing another poem in his journal as he heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" He called through the door happily. He was feeling.... Happy? Is this what this feeling was? He hadn't been able to write anything depressing that day-

Remus opened the door and skipped in cheerfully. "Hey, Dee!!!" He stopped beside Deceit's bed where he was sat and grinned at him.

Deceit couldn't help but chuckle and he smiled. "Sup, Rem?" He closed his journal and placed it on his bedside table with the pen.

Remus' eyes filled with childlike wonder at the journal and his eyes watched it as it was placed upon the bedside table. " Oooo~ What's that~?"

"It's nothing to worry about, Remus." Deceit smiled at the insane side in front of him.

"Can I see what's inside?" Remus asked hopefully.

"Eheh... No. I'd rather you didn't-" Deceit answered quickly. God knows what might happen if Remus sees inside that book- He could make fun of him or tell the other sides. All of them could make fun of him then- It'd make his life worse than hell. Life was already hell-

"Awhh....." Remus mumbled with a frown before smiling at Deceit again. "Okay!" He sat down beside him and swung his legs childishly.

"Sooooo.....-" Deceit looked at him expectantly.

"Oh right!! Yeah, I wanna hang out with you!!" Remus grinned.

Deceit was taken aback. Someone wanted to hang out with him?! He was probably just pitying him- Best to just play along. "Nice! What do you wanna do?"

"Wanna go cause chaos?" Remus' grin widened. "More specifically, annoy my brother?"

Deceit remember the last time they'd went out and he shook his head. "I'd rather not. How about hanging out like we used to? Y'know, when we were kids?" He pointed to the same photo from before of the two of them.

Remus' grin turned into a wide smile upon seeing the photo. "Yes!!! I wanna draw!! I'll go get some art stuff!! Be right back, Dee-Dee!!" Remus jumped up off of the bed and ran off out of the room.

Deceit smiled as he watched him run off, heat coming to his cheeks. Wait- Remus called him 'Dee-Dee'. That was a new one- It was also kinda cute to hear him saying- NO- GOD NO-

It wasn't cute. It was simply just a nickname that he liked. That's all. Nothing else! No getting any ideas, those of you beyond the fourth wall!!

Remus came back a few minutes later with a box. The box was plastic and transparent, containing; paper, card, pens, pencils, glitter glue, flextape and a few other creative items.

He ran over to Deceit and sat down beside him. "Hehe- I got da stuff!!"

Deceit smiled at him. "I can't see that, Rem." He chuckled but fell silent upon noticing the felxtape within the box as Remus opened the box up by lifting the lid up off it. "Why... Why is there tape-?"

"Waffle." Remus said blankly before throwing the tape out of the box and proceeding to take out two sheets of paper and pens.

Deceit blinked at his response before shrugging it off. "Aaannyywwaayysss- What we gonna draw? Wanna do a competition?" He asked, smirking as he obtained the paper and pen from Remus.

Remus nodded frantically. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!!" He grinned widely. "Although I'm clearly gonna win!!"

Deceit blushed slightly more than he already had been and laughed quietly. "If you say so~"

"Hehe. We're going to be drawing... The boogey man but make sure to include the tentacles!!" Remus giggled and already began to draw.

"Nooooooooo-" Deceit whined dramatically before laughing and beginning to draw whilst smiling.

"Yeeeessssss-" Remus continued to giggle as he focused on drawing, his tongue hanging out slightly.

Deceit glanced at him and blushed more before attempting to focus on drawing his strange creation. He was enjoying himself for once. If this happened more often than maybe he'd get better. He'd have to wait and see.

"So.. What do I have to do for losing?" Deceit asked, looking at the male standing in front of him.

"Hmmmmm........" Remus thought for a moment. He gasped as he got an idea. "Close your eyes! I have an idea!"

"Okay-" Deceit did as he was told, closing his eyes.

Remus took the opportunity to grab the strange book from Deceit's bedside table and hid it in the box where Deceit wouldn't see by hiding it underneath a bunch of stuff. After he made sure there was no way of Deceit seeing it, he took out a green piece of card and some scissors. He placed them on Deceit's lap and sat down in front of Deceit on the floor. "Open your eyes."

Deceit opened his eyes and looked down at the items on his lap then down at the side sitting on the floor. "Wha-?" He blushed more at how cute Remus looked, sitting there cross-legged and looking up at him.

Remus giggled. "Make me with that without hurting my feelings!"

Deceit grinned. "Piece.Of.Cake." He quickly got to work on making his creation for Remus. After a couple of minutes, there was a small octopus-Remus-mutation-thing out of card on his lap.

Remus took it off of Deceit's lap and beamed happily up at him. "Yay!!"

Deceit bit his bottom lip as he felt his face burning up more from blushing. "You just wanted me to make you something, didn't you?"

Remus giggled. "Maybe~"

Deceit rolled his eyes, smiling. "Whelp."

Remus jumped up off the floor and placed the creation into the box. "He's called Octo now!"

Deceit chuckled and blushed more, trying to act normal and he changed the way he was sitting to attempt hiding it.

"Anyways- This was fun! Imma go back to my room now! Can we do this again at some point?" Remus placed the lid on the box and lifted it up carefully.

"Of course, Remus." Deceit smiled at him.

"Well...." Remus looked at Deceit and locked eyes with him, his face swiftly turning bright red. "Imma get going now- See ya, Dee-Dee!"

Deceit chuckled quietly. "See ya, Rem-Rem!"

Remus gasped and beamed happily at the nickname before bouncing off to his room.

Deceit rolled his eyes and sighed contently, lying on his back on his bed and staring up at the ceiling. He.. had a good time- He enjoyed himself- And Remus blushed again! He blushed as well-

Could it really be what he feared-?

As the thought circled through his head, images of Remus' appeared in his mind and he admired his adorable smile... his lively yet crazy eyes....

The more he thought, the more he came to a realisation and acceptance.

He was in love with the adorable rat man...
