Alone in the Darkness(DISCONTINUED)

        "Hey, wanna help me kill my brother?" Remus smirked, cartwheeling into the dark commons and landing sprawled on the floor, laughing. "It'll be fun!"

        "Maybe some other time, Duke." Deceit smiled at him.

        "Ooooh, you can watch while I unravel his organs and use his spinal cord as a bowstring! Hey, do you think that his fingers would make good arrowheads?"

        "I think that that would be splendid. Just don't get too much blood on the carpet."

        "Wheeeeeeee!" Remus rolled out of the room, flipping everyone off in the process.

        Anxiety sat on the couch, scrolling through his phone. Deceit sat next to him, flipping through a thick book about Philosophy. Anxiety's head leaned on Deceit's shoulder. Deceit's arm wrapped around his waist. About thirty minutes later, Remus waltzed in, made a couple of sex jokes, and laid down across both of their laps. Deceit chuckled and Anxiety smiled fondly.

     They were a family.

     A couple of nights later, Anxiety was curled up on the couch, his head in Deceit's lap. Remus sat on the floor, right next to Deceit's feet. The Black Cauldron was playing, and Anxiety was watching in interest. Deceit smiled and carded an ungloved hand through his hair.

        A couple of minutes later, Anxiety let out a small purr.

        Deceit moved his hand in surprise. Anxiety looked up at him with wide eyes. "I-I'm sorry-"

        Deceit stroked his hair again and Anxiety purred loudly. He curled tighter in on himself. Deceit could almost see his thoughts racing, calculating every possible thing that could go wrong right now. Remus had turned his head too, and was staring at Anxiety.

        "That..." The Duke whispered.

        Anxiety was basically in a fetal position, on the verge of a panic attack.

        "Was adorable." Deceit finished, grinning at Anxiety.

        Anxiety blinked. "W-What?"

        Deceit grinned. "You don't have to worry about being yourself around us, Anxiety. Hell, I have snake scales. I'm pretty sure Remus has tentacles somewhere. We're all different."

        "Double Dee is right!" Remus bounced on the balls of his feet and flopped on the couch next to them, grinning. "You don't need to hide anything from us. We'll accept you, no matter what."

        Anxiety looked up at them. "T-thanks."

        He squeaked when Remus swept him up in a gigantic hug. Deceit smiled and joined them. Joined his famILY. He stroked Anxiety's hair and he purred, content and smiling. They watched the movie in that same positing, hands clasping hands, arms wrapped around each other, all interconnected.

        The words were first whispered by Anxiety, into the silence, after the movie had ended. "I-I love you guys."

        Remus squealed and Deceit smiled wider than ever. "I love you too."

Sorry this took so long! I know that this is fluffy but don't worry... the angst is coming!
