Third POV
After Remus's outburst, the room went silent. Everyone just stared at each other.
"Uh-" Thomas opened his mouth to say something, but cut himself off.
"He can't... see us... right?" Patton asked, his voice shaking a little.
"..Uhm... Yeah... I can see you.." Nico replied, still dumbfounded.
The room fell silent again. No one said a word, and they all just looked stunned. That is until Roman and Virgil broke the silence.
"CRAP. WE'VE BEEN FOUND OUT." Roman screeched, and Virgil joined in.
"ABORT THOMAS. ABORT!"
Logan sighed. "Calm down, you two. You're always unreasonably anxious."
"Don't wrap me in with the negative eyeshadow over there!"
"I mean.. He is right. You both freak out a lot." Janus scoffed.
Virgil hissed. "You don't get to talk about our similarities."
"Woah. You guys are an unusual bunch of ghosts.."
The sides went quiet
"..Pardon?" Logan replied.
"..Does he think were ghosts?" Virgil muttered to the group.
Patton pouted. "Well of course we can't be ghosts! We're not evil!"
"Speak for yourself." Remus giggled.
"Okay! Okay.. Calm down guys.." Thomas sighed.
"..Eh... Mind explaining to me, Thomas?" Nico chuckled awkward.
~~~{Time Skip hkldlkls}~~~
"...So.. They aren't ghosts.. But they're actually your personalities?" Nico pointed towards the sides.
Thomas sighed, relieved. "Yeah.. They aren't ghosts.. Did you think I was being haunted?"
"Well.. Yeah.." Nico chuckled to himself. "If you think about it, it isn't impossible!"
"Never mind that. Its SO good to meet you, Nico!" Patton, grinning, took Nico's hand and shook it for a while.
"Ah! Nice to meet you too!" Nico smiled back. "..You must've been the one who took my cookies last night... right?"
Everyone shut up.
"You WHAT?!" Roman shrieked.
"Oh! Uh.. How'd you know it was me?" Patton gave a nervous smile.
Nico pointed. "I recognize the hoodie and glasses"
"..Oh!"
"Ugh... Patton you need to stop eating sweets past midnight. Its not healthy." Logan sighed and adjusted his glasses.
Patton took offense to this, and started pouting. "Its not my fault they taste really sweet! Not to mention they taste better when they come from a different house!!"
"Ah.. Okay so your name is Patton?" Nico tilted his head.
"Mhm! Nice to meet you! I'm Thomas's Morality! Also sorry for taking your cookies!" Patton giggled.
"Stop hogging all the attention, Pat. We all would like to meet him!" Roman pushed Patton aside and took hold of Nico's hand. "Its such an honor to meet you formally! I'm Roman, his Creativity, as well as the person who pushed Thomas to meet him dream boy! Eh... AKA You."
"Hm! So you were with him on the day we met?" Nico grinned.
"Quite indeed! I had seen you across the food court and simply knew it was meant to be!" Roman had started dramatically posing, but then stopped and pointed and Virgil. "He helped a little too I guess."
"'I guess?'" Virgil glared. "More like I was the one who made Thomas talk to him in the first place.." He huffed.
"Mm... Yeeess... But you also didn't want us to talk to him in the first place with your panicking about the pins and stickers." Roman replied.
"...Tch. Anyway, I'm Virgil. Thomas's Anxiety. Nice to meet you or.. whatever.." Virgil sighed and flipped his hoodie over his head.
"Ah. That's why you didn't just say hi." Nico chuckled. "Nice to meet you both!"
Logan sighed. "If we're doing introductions, I might as well perform mine. I am Logic, formally known as Logan. I hold all of Thomas's logical thinking." Logic gave a nod, and Nico nodded back.
"And now introductions are done!" Roman gave a smile.
"...Seriously?" Janus scoffed.
"Lets face it. You two don't even need presenting." Virgil glared.
"Ah! Lets give everyone a chance to speak here." Nico gave a quick smile and held out his hand towards the dark sides. The others quieted down, and Remus quickly took hold on to Nico's hand.
"Oh hello! I'm the Duke! My name is Remus! I'm also Thomas's creativity!" Remus cackled. "Oh, but just for warning, My thoughts are a little on the... mmm... M for Mature side~"
"Ugh... In other words, the gross and horrifying stuff.." Roman scoffed.
"Hey! I'd like to use the word... Lewd! Or maybe obscene? Hmm... Unhinged? Psychotic? Something along those lines!" Remus gave a wicked smile.
"I'd say, intrusive thoughts would be the word..." Virgil muttered.
"Y'know what?" Nico took hold of Remus's hand with both of his. "You're okay in my book!"
Everyone's eyes widened, and Remus beamed.
"WOO! I have a friend! Screw you guys!" Remus cackled and stuck his tongue out at everyone besides Nico, who just laughed a bit.
Then Nico finally turned to Janus. "And you?"
"Hm." Janus did a small bow and tipped his hat. "Deceit. But my formal name is Janus. Accordance to my name, I do hold Thomas's lies, but I also hold his responsibility for practicing selfish acts for himself."
Roman scoffed to himself.
"Well, it's nice to meet you all too! And.." Nico turned to Thomas. "Hey, Thomas?"
"..Hm?" Thomas, this whole time, had been quietly facepalming to himself in embarrassment.
Nico took Thomas's hand and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Next time, tell me sooner. Okay?" He gave a smile.
Thomas gave a smile, and the other sides all got excited.
So that's pretty much it!
Although I probably will write a few short bonus stories as follow ups to what happened here.
Lemmie know if you guys would like to see that!
