⚠️MENTIONS OF SELFHARM⚠️

"Scared?" Patton asked as he stepped closer. Remus stood very still. "It's not like anyone else would care what happens to you." He handed Remus the knife. "Besides, you've been doing all that yourself either way haven't you?" Remus looked up eyes wide.

"You knew about that..." Patton smirked.

"Why do you think I refuse to let any of them speak to you? I know it drives you to that point." Patton went to walk out. "And I want you gone." He left locking the door behind him. Remus dropped the knife and sobbed. He felt someone wrap their arms around him and he knew immediately it was Logan.

"I'm...im sorry." Remus whimpered out as he held logan closer.

"Shh Remus, it's quite alright." Logan rubbed his back.

"If he finds you here he'll hurt you Lo..." Logan sighed.

"Well, I don't want you to be alone right now." Remus looked up at Logan.

"And I don't want you to get hurt because of me..." Logan laughed softly.

"Oh don't worry, Patton wouldn't hurt me because of you." Logan played with remuss hair. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright... I heard Patton." Remus looked down at the knife.

"I-I know it's bad I'm sorry." Remus started to cry.

"Being in this room for so long has definitely made you lose your touch hasn't it remus?" Logan jumped up. "I have an idea, I don't know if it'll work but...you can try?" Logan gestured towards the closet. "You and Roman can open the imagination anywhere right? Why not attempt to open it in your closet and then lock it?"

"But Lo he'll come after you guys and I don't-." Logan sighed.

"Like I said, we can handle him. Go." Remus walked over to the closet and stuck the key to the imagination into the lock, opening the door.

"Logan...come with me? We can go back for the others and-and we can stop him together! Please..." Logan smiled.

"Go Remus." He shook his head.

"Logan no..." Logan closed the door. Remus went to try and open it but he couldn't. "LOGAN!" He started crying. "God damnit..." Remus laughed a bit as he turned around. He started walking around.

"Remus?" Remus jumped and turned around seeing Virgil. He ran to his side.

"Oh god y-your bleeding." Remus summoned medical supplies.

"Roman took me here...h-he said you'd get here soon." Virgil shook his head. "W-what are they doing?"

"Roman and Logan are trying to protect us from Patton." Remus focused on fixing virgil up. "I-Is Janus here?" Virgil shook his head.

"Last I saw he was wi-with Patton." Virgil thanked Remus and then they both stood and walked to a tree house. Remus helped Virgil in and they sat down. "Why would they sacrifice themselves like this?"

"Well, romans easy." Remus laughed as he looked up at Virgil.

"Oh?" Virgil asked. Remus rolled his eyes.

"He likes you moron." Remus chuckled as Virgil blushed.

"B-But he's with-."

"He doesn't want to be." Remus pointed out. "Clearly pattons hurting him. Hell he's hurting all of you! How the hell could you guys keep that from me and Janus? Seriously..."

"Patton...he...he threatened to hurt you guys more by getting rid of you. W-we didnt want you guys to disappear." He shook his head.

"I can take care of myself you idiots." Remus pouted. Virgil raised his eyebrow.

"Dude, you were locked in your room panicking. I could feel your anxiety from far away. You can not, and you know it." Remus sighed.

"Well if he was hurting me at least he was going to leave you all alone!" Remus looked away and played with his sleeve.

"He was trying to get rid of your influence on Thomas which means you could have faded...you aren't shouting any intrusive ideas..Remus-."

"Yeah, I know," Remus looked up sadly. "But it'll be alright soon."

"Oh hell no." Virgil shook his head. "We are not letting him get rid of you so easily."

"Well, I still have a lot of fight in me. Let's kick this mother...fathers? Ass!" Remus cheered. "Hmm but how should we do it?" Remus started listing off dangerous and stupid ideas and Virgil laughed.

"That's my guy." He smiled. Remus looked over at Virgil and then smiled himself. He was going to get revenge on Patton one way or another. Nobody messes with his friends. Nobody.
