Two months of Remus' stay in the Dark Side Realm..
A month. It had been an entire month since the incident, with Deceit finding out about Remus' claustrophobia in the worst way possible.
A whole month of not seeing Remus' smile or witnessing his laugh. Barely even seeing him or hearing Remus' voice unless it was to tell the snake to go away.
Deceit had tried everything he could to get Remus to just have a conversation with him. Apologising, comforting, returning his aquarium (but Remus never using it), leaving him gifts outside his door. But every time it blew up in his face.
For example, when Deceit had gone back to Remus' door to check up on the roses he had left for him — the snake found them completely weltered and soaked in bleach.
Nothing worked. It was as Remus had said. He couldn't slither his way out of this with gifts and presents and words, words, words of apology. That wasn't going to cut it this time.
Remus hated him. Deceit knew that. He could feel the negative aura reeking from Remus all throughout the house. Just hate. Nothing but hate. Pure...fucking...h a t e.
Deceit had lost Remus' trust and friendship. So he had to earn it back. But to do that would be to let him do the one thing he feared...see his family.
But the snake had found a loophole.
"Remus?" Deceit knocked on the bedroom door, letting himself in and quickly dodging a cushion that was thrown at him. "Remus.."
"Go a w a y, Snake.." The octopus growled, turning his body away from Deceit as he dug his face into the pillows on his bed. "I don't want to see you."
"I know, but it's been a month already.." Deceit sighed, slowly striding over to the end of the bed. "You can't ignore me forever, especially if you live under my roof now."
Remus looked up and scowled at the other. "Watch me." He growled, turning back away.
"Remus—" Dee cut himself off upon seeing Remus give him the middle finger, inhaling sharply. His gloved hand reached out to the unaware boy threateningly, his eyes aglow for just a moment.
Fortunately, the snake controlled his anger, his right hand stopping and pulling back the left. Dee sighed shakily. "Alright, a l r i g h t, don't get angry, it's fine.." He whispered, exhaling deeply.
Deceit turned back to Remus, walking around the bed and kneeling down beside it, looking at the Duke who refused the snake eye contact. "I'm not leaving, Remus. I have something to show you."
"Oh, another gift, right? Yeah, well, forget it! I'm not interested.."
"I think you will be, Remus."
