Virgil has decided to leave the Dark Sides once and for all, something extremely unexpected for Deceit. They hadn't seen each other for days, not after their fight where Virgil said he never wanted to see him again. But Dee needed to make sure he was okay, telling himself that Vi probably didn't leave at all and that he was just overreacting.

But Dee arrived at Virgil's side of the mind only to find him and his door...gone. Virgil had really done it. He crossed the boarder between the Light and Dark realms of Thomas' mind.

Even though it had happened several months ago, Dee remembered it like it was yesterday..

"He doesn't have anywhere else.." Dee told himself as he walked down the dark halls. "Where would he possibly go?" He hissed, trying to reassure himself.

The lying, snake-like trait turned the corner where the door to Virgil's room would've been.

...But it wasn't, now it was just wall.

"Vi..?" The snake trait ran to the wall quickly and began running his hands along it, looking for some sort of entrance or opening - but there wasn't. It was just black-painted wall. "Virgil!" Dee bashed his fist against the wall. "How could you?!" He cried, tears welling up in his eyes. "You damn traitor!!" But as Dee's yells echoed off the walls of the darkened hall, his eye suddenly flared with a yellow aura.

"If you've left me, then I'll make sure to get what belongs to me in return.." He snarled, looking to the black-painted walk where Virgil's room once was.

Deceit slammed his hands against the brick, a bright yellow aura surrounding his body and emanating from his palms. The snake trait hissed and snarled as he did this, the amount of power he was using slightly causing him pain.

Dee took his palms away from the wall as his power faded, the first part of his work now done.

He turned and walked down the hall, leaving behind a new green door decorated with tiny octopuses in the exact place of where Virgil's once was.

As said before, it had been several months since Virgil left and joined the Light Sides, eventually becoming one himself. He was now an accepted side of Thomas, even if he was once dark.

Also Patton, like with Remus himself long ago, was very accepting of Virgil and developed a fatherly attachment to him. "My dark strange son!" He would call him.

Logan was also acceptable of Virgil's presence, the two saw eye to eye at times and agreed on certain matters. However, Logan would be communicating a falsehood if he said that he and Virgil got along straight away.

Then there was Roman, who had developed a rather...ahem, romantic attraction towards Virgil.

"What's up with you, Romano?" Remus playfully asked him, looking at a lovesick Roman who was doodling in his sketchbook over the kitchen counter. "Is that... the emo?" He asked, noticing a pen sketch of Virgil that Roman drew in his book.

"Um..yes?" Roman replied.

"It's so detailed.." Remus said, giving a worried look at Roman and then over at Virgil who was sat talking with Patton and Logan on the couch. "Do..do you like him?" He whispered.

"Um..yeah..yeah, I think I do.." Roman sighed dreamily.

Remus then felt his heart drop to the pits of his stomach. Sure, Virgil was a cool guy and Remus accepted him as part of the Light Sides, but he didn't entirely trust him yet..

Remus was devastated that he could lose his brother to this emo and former dark-side. I mean, Remus did envy Roman over a few things, but he did love his brother dearly. He couldn't lose him.

"Oh..oh c'mon, Ro!" Remus rolled his eyes, trying not to seem overprotective. "You can do better than an emo Stormcloud!"

"Hmmm, yeaaaaah - no." Roman giggled, his eyes glued to Virgil. "I'm pretty sure he's the one for me~"

Remus sighed, there was no getting him out of this. Unless... "What if he doesn't like you back..?" Remus said to him, making his brother's blood run cold.

"..W-What?"

"I mean, it's just a thought~" Remus smirked, patting his brother on the shoulder. "Which I'll leave you to think about!" He smiled before walking away and sat on the couch with the others.

'It may have been an intrusive thought for Roman..' Remus thought as he sat down. 'But c'mon! Do I really want to lose my brother to him?'

But Roman was left with that thought for the rest of the evening.

But once again hidden and unseen in the shadows was Deceit, spying upon the sides. "The plan is already in motion.." He chuckled evilly, then looking to Remus. "Hmm, he's even more perfect than I thought." Dee smirked. "That bad streak must still be in his blood.."
