Goodbye (an Analogical story) By Theo. Revamped.

The past.

Virgil bursts in on logan working on his laptop. Logan, looks up from his work and says "virgil? What're you doing here?"

"I need you to distract me, smart guy"
"While I am a smart guy, however my name is Logan?" Logan responds
"That's not what I, okay whatever." Virgil flops on Logan's bed as he hears Remus say "what about thinking of Logan being dead with his wrists slit!" At just the thought of that, Virgil looks to see what Logan is wearing. Logan seems to have changed to a short sleeve shirt, much more comfortable for working, so Virgil checks Logan's arms. Huge scars stare back at him.
Logan speaks "if they make you uncomfortable I can always put on a long sleeve?" Logan Asks, Virgil stops him, "it's okay, I'm sorry, I just.." his words fall flat.

Logan thinks for a moment before sitting on the bed next to Virgil, and letting Virgil put his head in Logan's lap.
"Want me to explain how the human eye works?" Logan suggests.
"Please do.." Virgil says, shutting his eyes as Logan starts to explain. He visibly relaxes when logan starts mindlessly playing with his hair.

He drifts off, and Logan seems to let him, still playing with his hair. The last sensation he feels until he's forced into the past.

Deceits arm felt warm around paranoias body, it felt safe.
Paranoia never necessarily loved being around the dark sides, frankly, duke made him uncomfortable.
Instead of complaining, however, he shoves it down for the sake of his beautiful boyfriend.
"And then I made Thomas tell Joan that he was sick when really he was watching the office for the twelfth time."
Paranoia shut his eyes and listened to deceit speak. Though what he did made him paranoid that Joan would find out.
As the night started to turn to day, the sides retired to their rooms, however instead of paranoia going to his room, he instead went to deceits.
As soon as the door shut, deceit kissed paranoia hard, and pulled him close
Paranoia didn't want this, and he wasn't even sure if he was happy with deceit anymore, but he can shut his eyes and take it, he can.
He's done it before
He can take the emotional hurt again.
The next evening, Virgil woke up in deceits arms , feeling gross and sticky. He had decided to just take a shower.
As he was in the shower, nursing his hickeys and bruises, he realized just how much he didn't want to be here anymore.

Paranoia didn't want Deceit to scream at him, or tell him his thoughts were stupid. He decided to write them down in a note, a note no one needs to see.

I'm tired of being here.
I'm always scared Deceit will touch me.
I'm always scared Remus will say something to trigger me.
I always have Thomas on edge, and I feel bad about it.
I don't want to be here anymore.
I want to have friends,
I want Thomas to have friends.

As he re-reads the note, deceit came up behind him and took the note from his hand. "What is this, dear?"
"Nothing!" His first reaction as he attempts to get his note back. Deceit instead keeps it out of reach and reads it.

"Paranoia.. the thoughts you have are silly. Laughable"
Laughable?
Virgil doesn't respond. In fact he doesn't even look up. deceit crumples the note.
"What will you do?" He asks. "Join the light sides?"
The idea struck him. Join the light sides?

The next time Thomas and the light sides spoke. "Virgil" as he decided to call himself. Decided to appear.

"Hi" Virgil says sitting on the stairs
"WHAT THE HECK" Thomas shouts
"I'm sorry was I not wanted at this exact second?"
"Oh for crying out loud.." Thomas says, as he had met paranoia before, however he had labeled paranoia as anxiety instead of what he actually was, paranoia.

Virgil slowly opens his eyes. As his eyes adjust to the dark lighting, he can see he's not in his own room, but Logan's. Still in Logan's lap, in fact. Logan, now leaning against his wall, was asleep as well.
But Virgil couldn't think about that
All he knew was his dream will never be his reality again.
