~Nightmare~ *angst/fluff*

Thomas was adjusting the camera. Patton watched as the red blinking light flickered. The main four were filming another episode. This one was about Thomas' recent fallout with a friend. Patton didn't want to think back on it.......

Let's just say it wasn't pretty.

Virgil was shifting anxiously on the stairs, Roman kept shrugging his shoulders back and licking his lips. Logan was still in the Mindscape, he said he needed to grab some of his flashcards.

Just as Thomas finished setting the camera up, Logan popped up. 

"I have everything I need, shall we start?" asked Logan.

"Yeah, we're good," said Thomas.

Patton breathed in deeply. He was prepared for this, just another discussion, we do this all the time! We're just going to talk about what happened and come to a conclusion, it'll be fine. 

Virgil was shifting even more now, Patton was worried. His eyes darted over to Virgil. He had his hood up and his bangs covered the upper half of his face. He was shifting his weight from one foot to another.

"Are you okay, kiddo?" asked Patton, concern in his voice.

Virgil's head darted up enough for Patton to get a look at his eyes. His eyes were wide, but that wasn't the concerning part, his eye shadow was large and pure black. 'He truly did resemble a racoon,' thought Patton. 

"I'm fine, lets just get this over with," grumbled Virgil. 

"Okay, its starting," said Thomas.

Thomas started the video with his usual energetic intro and a quip about something, Patton wasn't truly paying attention. He was staring at Virgil; who was shaking.

"Kiddo?" asked Patton hurriedly. Thomas quickly look over at Patton, his cheerful demeanor slipping.

"Are you alright?" asked Patton, worry dripping from his voice. 

"I WOULD BE IF YOU QUIT ASKING!" yelled Virgil.

Patton gasped. Virgil had never been like this before. Virgil went on.

"All you do is get on my nerves! You just bother me all the time! You act like your my 'father' when your the least of a likely to be a parental figure here! You're annoying, bothersome, and all around a DISGRACE!"

...

Patton jumped up in bed. He was doused in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. He quickly reached over and pulled the switch for his bedside lamp, fumbling with it for a moment. He grabbed his glasses and put them on. 

'That wasn't real Virgil loves me..........right?' thought Patton.

His breath hitched at that. 

He didn't know the answer. Months ago the answer would've obviously been yes, but now. After everything that's happened, Virgil doesn't talk to him any more. 

No one talks to him anymore.

After the last episode, with Janus' name reveal, none of the other sides talked to each other. No Roman singing in the morning. No Logan reading in the living room. No Virgil sneaking food at midnight. Nothing, nothing at all.

Dust lined the shelfs in the hall ways. Patton didn't cook anymore, didn't even bother. Roman's side of the imagination had been closed off from visiting. Logan only came out of his room when he needed something. Patton hadn't seen any evidence of Virgil at all. No one even seemed to be living........

'Except Janus,' thought Patton.

Janus! I should go talk to Janus. 

Patton hopped out of bed and threw on a sweatshirt. He shifted towards his bedromm door. He reached towards the door knob, but stopped abruptly.

'Do I really want to bother him this late at night?' thought Patton.

Patton considered his options, he thought hedecided he wasn't going to do it until he heard music softly playing through the door. 

Patton's curiousity got the best of him and he opened the door.

He peaked out into the hallway. It was completely dark except for a faint light coming from the door at the end of the hallway. The door to the dark sides.......

Patton stumbled towards the door. He opened it slowly. He headed in.

He decended the stairway towards the dark side living room. The music got louder the closer he got to the end of the staircase. 

He eventually reached the bottom, he peared into the room.

It was a surprisingly clean, neat, comfortable, living area. 

On one half was a kitchen, in the middle was a variety of coches all facing an awfully strange looking TV. The walls were lined with bookshelves, all filled to the brim with books, knick-knacks, and jars full of various substances and strange looking things. On a side table, next to one of the couches, was a record player, currently spinning a disk. 

And, standing in the middle of the room swaying and softly humming to himself, was Janus.

Janus was dressed in black slacks and a wrinkled, white button down shirt. He wasn't adorning his usual hat and gloves either. His hair was a soft brown, with light sunkissed highlights. His left hand was adorned with glistening scales that caught the soft light in the room.

Patton liked seeing him in more casual wear. 

Patton stopped and stared at Janus for a few minutes before Jan finally noticed.

"Oh! Surprised to see you down here Patton, especially at this time of night," said Janus surprisedly.

"Ah-, well i was awake and heard the music- um- uh....yeah," said Patton, embarrased.

"Oh, its fine, darling," chuckled Janus.

"But, I must ask you why you were awake at this time?" inquired Janus.

"Oh- uh- well you see- I just woke up- I guess- ha, uh- yeah," stuttered Patton.

Janus raised an eyebrow.

"Just woke up, in the middle of the night," Janus said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah, just woke up," muttered Patton.

"What happened?" asked Janus, in a soft voice.

"Nothing," whispered Patton.

"What happened?" repeated Janus.

Tears welled up in Patton's eyes. 

"Nightmare," Patton forced out.

Patton was quickly wrapped up in Janus' arms.

'When did he get that close?' thought Patton.

Janus and Patton swayed back and forth, wrapped in each others arms.

Janus slowly swayed towards the closest couch. After awhile, Janus slowly got Patton to lie down. 

Patton slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to the soft humming of the music in the background.

Janus gazed sloftly at the sleeping boy. He chuckled to himself softly.

He leaned over and placed a kiss on Patton's forehead.

He went and layed on a the couch opposite of Patton.

He slowly drifted off to sleep, gazing over at Patton.
