Remus sat in his room once again, though this time he wasn't playing with the plushies. He laid on his bed, in total darkness, and stared at the roof. It looked like I went on forever. An endless room filled with nothing but his thoughts.

It was was times like this where not even the plushies could help him. Where he just got so lonely not even creativity could think of something or someone to distract him. He turned to face the wall, reaching out and grazing his fingers against it. It's there. He liked to make sure it was. He stood up, looking at the small toy octopus before picking it up nd forcefully chucking it at the door. Remus slid down to sit against his wall tears making their way down his face. There was a small knock on the door.

"What?" Remus asked, cringing slightly as his voice cracked. The door opened, revealing a confused Deceit.

"Remus? Where are you? Why is it so dark?" Deceit asked, flicking the light switch, but nothing happened. He opened the door wider, letting streams of soft light in. It didn't do much to light the room, though. The hallway their rooms were located were much darker than the light sides hallway. Deceit looked down, seeing the small octopus before looking over to see Remus laying against the wall, crying.

"'Mus, what's wrong?" Deceit asked softly, sitting next to him.

"Nothing, Dee!" Remus said, wiping his tears and giving his signature sinister grin. Deceit frowned and looked over at his bed, seeing something under it. He carefully reached under, pulling out a small snake that had a hat and cape, just like his. Remus looked at him with wide eyes, grabbing it and throwing it back under the bed. Deceit said nothing as he pulled it back out, along with the others.

"Remus, what are these for?" Deceit asked, looking at him strangely.

"N-nothing!" Remus said, snatching them away and placing them gingerly next to him.

"Come on, 'Mus. Talk to me. I know I'm not always around to see what's going on with you, but I'm here now."

"Thats the problem." Remus said softly. "You're never around. No one is. It gets lonely sometimes, thats what the stuffed animals are for. That's why its so dark in here." Remus said, pulling his knees up to us in chest and wrapping his arms around them.

"What?" Deceit asked, shocked.

"The stuffed animals help with the loneliness. Sometimes, at least. And it's always dark because I hope that there's something or someone in it. Just so that maybe I wouldn't feel so alone."Remus said, tears falling down his face once again. Deceit hugged Remus tightly, slightly frozen from seeing Remus acting like this. It was so different. He was, crazy, gory, loud, and inappropriate. He didn't act like this. He didn't cry.

"Remus, why didn't you just come and hang out with us?"

"I could hear how you all reacted when you heard me coming. They all hate me and it sucks!" Remus exclaimed, crying harder.

"I'm sorry, 'mus. I didn't know that it hurt you this much. I won't let you be alone anymore." Deceit mumbled, standing up and helping Remus up. He wiped Remuss cheeks, giving a small kiss to his forehead. It surprised Remus but he didn't object to it. Deceit brought Remus to the living room, everyone looking over, surprised at seeing Remus look so broken. Patton hopped up and gave him a tight hug, to which Remus hugged back just as tightly, small tears running down his face.

He didn't feel so alone anymore. And he wouldn't for a while.
