Change (Platonic RemRom Angst)

Warnings: unsympathetic Virgil, sympathetic Remus, crying, bullying and harsh words

Third Person POV

Remus had been doing some thinking on his ways, and he wanted to change. As in change, he meant be like Roman. No longer a dark side. He decides to go to Roman for help. He stands up and goes into the light side's part of the mindscape, and was cautious not to be seen. The light sides didn't like him. Roman was the only one who actually listens to him and realizes he didn't choose to be the way he is.
Remus goes to Roman's door and takes a deep breath, knocking on the door.
"Come in!" Roman exclaims, from his bed.
Remus walks in and closes the door behind him "can we talk..?" He asks.
"Yeah, 'course. What's up?" He asks, moving over so Remus can sit down.
Remus sits down next to Roman and looks at the floor, his arms crossed across his chest, nervously. "I.. I want to change.. I don't want to be a dark side anymore.. I know that the others hate me for what I've done in the past but.. I-I'm just really sick of being bad.." he admits, tears in his eyes now.
Roman hugs Remus gently "I'm so proud of you, Remus" he says, as Remus hugs back. He ends up beginning to cry a bit. "Remus, don't cry, this'll all work out" he smiles gently, wiping away his tears.
       "B-But what if Virgil yells at me.. or Logan insults me or Patton is scared of me.." Remus says, looking down.
       "If they do I'll step in, okay?" Roman reassures.
       Remus nods and takes a deep breath "could we all meet up in the living room..?" He asks.
       Roman nods "head down there, I'll gather everyone up" he says. Remus nods and walks out of Roman's room after pulling out of the hug, walking towards the staircase until he heard a cold voice from behind him
       "What are you doing here?" Virgil asks, anger in his voice.
       Remus turns around "I want to change.. and become a light side. Like you did" he says, optimistically.
       "You can't change. You've always been bad and you always will be bad." Virgil spits, to which Remus tears up again
       "Y-Yes I can! You did it, I can too!" Remus exclaims, taking a step back.
       "BECAUSE OF YOU! I LEFT BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM YOU!" Virgil screams at Remus, which caused him to takes another step backwards.
       Roman runs up when he heard Virgil yelling "Virgil! Don't yell at him he actually does want to change!" He exclaims.
       Virgil turns to Roman and pushes him backwards, before storming off to his room.
       Remus starts crying again "I knew this was gonna happen! He's right I can't change.. I'm just... just the bad guy.." he says
       "Wait, Remus" Roman says, reaching out to hug him, but he teleports back to the dark sides part of the mindscape.
       He goes to his room and closes the door, sliding down it. He sobs into his knees, wishing they would just accept him. If they did, the intrusive thoughts would go away, and he would be good, and he would help the others like Roman did.
