The Weight of the Stars || A Sander's Sides Fanfiction

Chapter 3.5

||Trigger warnings: Mentions of fights, violent intentions (?). If I miss anything let me know.||

Also, this is just a bit from the talk Roman and Remus had, its nothing too important but I did want to include it, hence the .5 in the chapter title.

"Oh my God..." I mumbled quietly. My twin brother, the very same twin that I haven't seen in ten years. All because I was stupid. I was so stupid.

"Roman?" Patton sounded very concerned and I quickly looked at him, realizing that I probably look sick or something. "Would it be a good idea to try and talk to him? Or would that make anything worse?" he asked, looking at me then Logan.

"If Remus asks, I didn't tell you that he misses you a lot and he wishes that he talked to you instead of running away and making sure you couldn't find him. I also didn't tell you that he started looking for you but then stopped due to the fact that he's afraid that you don't want to speak to him again. And I sound like Janus right now" Logan mumbled the last part, showing a bit of confusion, the most emotion we've seen all day.

So Remus does at least want to talk to me still. He doesn't know I'm here but I know he's here. I can let him go or I can go try to talk to him.

"Go talk to him, kiddo. You need to." Patton said softly while Logan nodded once in agreement.

"He's in his room right now. Janus, Virgil, Remy and Emile are downstairs so you two will be alone." Logan stated, looking at his phone. "I am able to show you where it is if you want."

"I- uh- yeah." I slowly stood up, not knowing what I was going to say to Remus when I saw him.

"It'll be ok, Ro. Just tell him everything." Patton said calmly.. I nodded at him, smiling a little. Logan started walking so I followed him. We walked in silence until Logan stopped at a door and knocked on it. He then nodded at me and left. A few moments later Remus opened the door and stared at me.

"...Roman?"

I nodded, looking at the ground. I was suddenly tackled to the ground in a big hug. I hugged him back, tearing up. "I thought you hated me," I mumbled into his shoulder.

"I don't hate you but you are a prick somethimes. I missed you." he responded quietly.

"Maybe you should hate me I mean I said-"

"Yeah, I know what you said, I've thought about it a lot, but you're still my brother and ghosting you for ten years seems punishment enough." he stood up and wiped the tears off his face then offered his hand to help me up, which I took.

"I never stopped looking for you, you know."

"Yeah it was fucking hard to avoid you until a couple years ago." He went and sat on his bed, motioning for me to sit next to him. I walked in and did as I was told. His room was messy but organized and covered in science stuff and pieces of technology.

"Do you think we could learn to be brothers again?" I asked looking at him.

"Hell yeah. Now tell me what you've been up to."

"Uhm..." I thought for a moment. "I live with my friend, Patton, who's downstairs. We also work together at the daycare Emile goes to, that's why we're here in the first place. I don't do much thought.. What about you?"

"Of course you work at a daycare, I work at Remy's school, I'm a science teacher. And well uh I live here, obviously and I usually cause chaos and/or build technology with Loogie."

"That does not surprise me," I smiled. We continued to talk for a while, catching up. I didn't realize how much I've actually missed Remus. Now its almost like the fight never happened. I said a lof of things I regret then but now I have a chance to make everything right and be a good brother. It's more than I could ever hope for.

Remus sprung up and looked out his window. "Hey, Ro? Remember that guy that Logan married all those years ago?"

"Oh- yeah? Why?" I totally forgot that I knew Logan years ago before he decided to cut everyone off.

"He's back and I may need you to get my ass out of jail." He opened his door and started going downstairs.

"Wait Remus!" I followed him but decided that I couldn't stop him. If he was even close to the same person he was years ago then I know that I cant do anything to stop him from protecting his friends, especially Logan. So I just followed, knowing I might have to get him out of jail.
