Deceits PoV
After dinner we all pile up on the sofa, pillows and blankets surrounding us. Virgil was in my lap and Remus was in Logan's.

Patton's PoV
After dinner me and Roman were watching T.V when he started to move uncomfortably. "Are you alright kiddo? You look uncomfortable." I say facing him, he flinched violently. I get even more confused, "what's wrong kiddo?" I ask, he looked about ready to scream. I reach at to touch but in return Roman curled up and pushed himself into the corner of the sofa.

I didn't know what to do. Every time I go to touch him he flinched violently. I reach out one more time, only for him to scream and push him over the arm of the sofa. Roman huddled into a ball, shaking. I feel tears prick the side of my eyes. "Kiddo..." My voice cracked.

Logan's PoV
Virgil and Remus were asleep, Remus was snoring rather loudly. "Thank you." Deceit says from beside me, I look up. "What do you mean?" I ask, Deceit chuckled "thank you, you were the only one who didn't freak out during the last few months. How you have managed to stay calm, its beyond me." I smirk, "panicking wouldn't do anyone any use."

Deceit went to open his mouth again, but got interrupted by my phone ringing. I look at the caller ID, it was Patton.

I answer it. "Hello?" "Hi Patton, what do you need?" I ask him in the most calm tone I could muster, "Romans acting really strange, he won't let me near him without screaming and keeps on making himself into a small ball. He looked terrified. Can you come home? As soon as possible, preferably." He said in a rush, "I'll be home soon." I say hanging up.

Deceit raised an eyebrow, "What was that?" He asked. "Roman isn't letting anyone near him and acting much like how Virgil first acted when he woke." I explain. I look down at Remus, who was on my lap, "just push him off." Deceit states plainly. I shove him to the floor and bolt to the door.

Once I get back, I see Patton with tears in his eyes. "Where's Roman?" I ask, "over there." He says pointing to a huddled figure beside the sofa.

I slowly approach him, "Roman, calm down. It's just me, I'm not going to hurt you." Roman flinched, "L-Lo, why a-am I So s-scared?" He asked shakily, "that doesn't matter right now. How about you go to bed, have a nap." I say, Roman shakily nodded standing up and started walking up the stairs.

I turn to Patton, "What was that?" He asked raising a brow. "Most likely from when Virgil bit him, I was a bit confused on how nothing else seemed to be wrong with him afterwards. He should be back to normal in a few days." I say, Patton nodded gratefully.
