☾ The Anxious Prodigium ☼

↬Prologue

"Oh come on, Virge. Just use your powers, it's as easy as-" The green side had a mischievous smirk as he made his mace appear in his hand a small puff of green smoke, "I don't want to..." The smaller side kind of coward before he felt a gloved hand grab his shoulder in a tight grip, "Why don't you want to use your magic?" He felt warm breath near his ear making him shudder.

He pushed the deceitful sides's hand off of his shoulder and turned to face him, "Leave me alone, guys. I just-" He was knocked out by a quick hit of the mace causing Deceit to sigh as he looked up at Remus, "That wasn't necessary." He looked down at Virgil as the other side shrug and make his mace disappear before he threw the unconscious side over his shoulder, "I know."

Remus started walking away causing Deceit to hiss, "The hell are you not doing with him?" He earned a small hum as he watched his head turn to face the yellow side, "I have an idea or... a certain curse in mind." Deceit sighed and shook his head, watching as Remus's head faced forward a small crack sounding as he did so, "You're still obsessing over that curse?" He quickly followed after the other side as he heard the distant, 'yup'.

-A Little While Later-

Virgil shot awake and glanced around quickly, but was hit with a sharp pain in his head. He tried to move his hand to hold his head but found he couldn't move his arms or legs, "Remus? Dee?" He called out into the darkness.

He jumped as he saw the all too familiar green side, who gasped, "Holy shit, finally! I thought I killed you there." He laughed only causing Virgil to tense, "Wh-Where am I?" He struggled against his restraints, "Well I had an amazing idea where you-" He was cut off by deceit, "Don't tell him what're doing." He glared at Remus who huffed, "Fine." "Just  go ahead and do it, he will find out what happens."

Virgil's eyes widened staring at the pair, "What do you mean? What're you going to do to me? Why am I tied up?" He didn't get answers.

He just watched as Remus looked at a large book grumbling then saw Deceit walk over and quickly scanned over the page before pointing to something, "It's not right there, dumbass." He hissed at Remus who rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, DeeDee." He smirked, "Don't." Deceit glared at the other male, "Just read or I will." Remus shook his head, "Fuck no, I'm doing this."

Remus began reading off of the book casually, Virgil listened and titled his head before his eyes widened, "W-Wait! You don't have to do this." He felt his breathing quicken, "Don't. N-Not a curse this isn't right!" He struggled against the rope which started digging into his skin, but it was no use, "Go on Virgil, use those powers of yours, maybe you'll get out." "I-I can't you know that Dee!"

Just a chuckle. No comfort behind it, "Sorry, Virgil. Not my problem." He smirked watching as tears started to form in Virgil's eyes as Remus continued to read off the curse, "Pl-Please d-don't..." The purple side whimpered as Remus looked at him then at Deceit.

As Remus finished reading off the curse everything went black for Virgil.

Virgil woke up to a burning sensation that made him uncomfortable but as he glanced around he realized he was back in his room and as he looked down at his wrist they were rubbed raw and just hurt, "I thought they were my friends..." He sighed and got out of his bed, walking out of his room, not knowing what the curse did as nothing was different.

He wandered around going a bit further than what they were supposed to, but Virgil didn't care he just wanted to get away, eventually stumbling across a room which was completely blank until he thought of a calming scene.

A cherry blossom forest. Seeing this caused Virgil to smile slightly as he walked over and sat beside one of the trees, "The imagination..." The side hugged his knees close to his chest as he let himself cry loudly knowing he would be left alone.

Which meant he felt safe, so he calmed after a few but felt an intense burning, "The crying was coming from here, I know I heard it." He heard a voice that sounded like Remus so he hid behind the tree.

Virgil listened quietly, "I suspect you are just hearing things, neither I nor Patton heard anything." Another voice spoke, "Oh, come on, brainiac, you know you had your head shoved in a book and Padre was watching TV." The male glanced around, "Plus the imagination has a beautiful scene, no ones been in here recently." The one scoffed before clearing his throat, "Hello?" He called out, "I don't want to hurt you." He continued

He then heard footsteps leaving, "I am leaving. Have pleasure finding your crying ghost." A door slammed shut, leaving Virgil alone with this princely sounding guy, "Whatever Logan, you'll be kicking your smart-ass self when I find some..." He grumbled before sighing, " I heard someone in here crying. I just want to help you."

Virgil bit his lip as he listened to the plush grass swish each time a step by the person stepped, "Come on, I won't bite. I can see you behind the tree." This sentence caused Virgil's breath to hitch, then the burning sensation intensifying, "I have a friend who will help you if you're hurt." The side looked down at his wrist they had bled from the ropes digging into them.

A shadow casting over him made him look up quickly. Prince charming, was simply how to describe him, "Hey." The male knelt down, "I'm Roman, you're?" Virgil seemed hesitant, "Virgil..." He spoke quietly flinching when his arm was grabbed. Roman was checking his wrist but so gently, it was almost comforting to Virgil, "I'll get my friend, Patton, he'll help you out with this." He said and pulled away before taking out his phone texting as he spoke softly, "So, what happened anyways?" Gray eyes examining Virgil's face occasionally.

Virgil couldn't tell him what really happened, especially because he was cursed and a dark side what if they threw him out? So he just shrugged and looked down, a small sigh leaving Roman's lips but he nodded, "It's alright, maybe you'll eventually tell me, storm cloud."

"Roman!" A voice rang throughout the space after a few minutes of silence laid over the pair, "Over here, Pat!" Suddenly another side walked over in a teal polo, a friendly plump face.

He sat down on a criss-cross in front of Virgil, "Take a deep breath its alright... I'm Patton." He started looking at his damaged wrist, "I just need to wrap these up with some ointment." He looked up as another came over with a more serious expression but it did lighten as he saw Virgil, "Salutations, I am Logan."

-A Few Days Later-

Virgil had been living with the light sides for about three days now and nothing strange really occurred, other than he was constantly warm, but as the four of them were just relaxing in the living space it had gotten so intense, "I'll be back in a minute." Virgil told the others as he got off the couch, "Be back soon, best parts coming up." Roman piped up as the anxious side nodded and walked off going into his room.

An uncomfortable whine left Virgil as he laid down on his bed shifting in pain causing him to sit up as sharp pain just attacked his back, "W-What's happening...!" He was just consumed by burning and aching pain.
