Sanders Sides Tickle Fic Oneshots

Nervous Memories (Anxceit)

Author's Note: Ho ho ho! Coming at you with another collab piece here. You remember that loceit fic right? Well this is a collab with the same person ticklish-sides on tumblr! This was fun to make and I hope you enjoy it too. Fair warning, there's no happy ending! We at first didn't intend for it to happen that way, then it just sort of crept on us and we loved it so much that we kept it. I'm enjoying taking the tickle fic genre and making them angsty! Fluff is nice and everything, but it's always nice to see this type in my opinion. Again, check out ticklish-sides on tumblr, and enjoy this fic we made together!

     Virgil sighed, playing with the fidget cube in his hands absentmindedly. He was so bored. It was a do-nothing day for Thomas which meant that it was a do-nothing day for his Sides as well. Nothing at all to do but relax. Patton was making cookies, Roman was off daydreaming, Remus was doing... something, and Logan was busy fixing Thomas' schedule. And they were all perfectly relaxed. Everything was just fine. Virgil's fingers tensed around the fidget cube.

     Yes, everything was just fine. There was no reason to feel anxious or scared. They were just relaxing when they could be doing important things! And yet here they were. Doing absolutely nothing. It was enough to make Virgil's anxiety rise and make him shake. He had been trying to stay calm but... nothing he did was working.

     Deceit was not one for relaxation either. His mind was always winding around the possible endings and loopholes of Thomas's everyday life. In order to keep himself busy during this lazy day, he popped up in random places attempting to keep all of the sides on their toes. It did not work most of the time, they were all too engrossed in the idea of relaxing that not one side he visited was unnerved by his appearance. And that's when he remembered the edgiest one of all. How could he have forgotten the poor little anxious baby of the mindscape?

     Without another word, he sunk down with an evil glint in his eyes and reappeared right behind the facet himself by standing behind the couch. "Well hello there," He hissed sweetly. "It's nice to see that not everyone on this slow day in Thomas's life is taking it easy." He chuckled and leaned his head on his head and his elbow on the couch.

     Virgil immediately tensed, sneering at Deceit. "What do you want, Deceit?" The fidget cube in his hands was gripped tight in his shaking grasp.

     "Ooh, so defensive." Deceit jested before he gracefully walked to the opposite couch to sit and face the shaking anxious aspect. "Well, to be frank, you've already given me what I want: A side who isn't taking this lazy day as well as he should have." Deceit chuckled, but his normal smile curled into a frown. "But, to be completely honest, I'm not sure I like the lazy day either, Virgil. There is nothing to do, but sit and pretend you are being productive as time flies idly bye." He waved his hand in the middle distance for effect.

     "For once, I agree with you," Virgil muttered, gripping the cube tight. "I swear, I'm just supposed to sit where when we could be doing something productive! How is this helping Thomas in anyway?!"

      Deceit paid close attention to the signs of the tension begging to be released in Virgil's body. He noticed his hand, tightening around the cube much like Logan's did when he threw that crumpled note card at Roman over a year ago. "Well, I'm not the one to point out the flawed logic in many cases, but do you think shaking like that will help Thomas anymore than not being productive?" He crossed his legs and looked at Virgil expectantly.
