I feel Thomas rising me up and I reluctantly go I was just listening to panic at the Disco.
"What do you need Thomas?" I rise up next two the stairs which is weird cuz that means someone's in my normal spot. I open my eyes and look beside me and see.. OJ?
"Uhhhhh.. hey??" I confusingly say.
"Hey little guy!" OJ says petting my head, I close my eyes I'm kind of leaning to his pet before remembering I'm by the light sides and Thomas is there! I quickly lean back and stare at him.
"Uhhh.. why are you here??" I asked him very confused, did jan decide to reveal him? did he reveal himself? what happened?
"I don't know I just decided to show up and didn't know Thomas was there-" he shrugged.
"O-Oh.."
"Are you okay...?" Damnit- I was hoping he wouldn't mention anything about how hesitant I am I guess? I don't want to start crying at least not in front of Roman Patton and Logan and especially not in front of Thomas..
"Uh.. y-yea?" I say tilting my head away in towards Logan instead of OJ, But then I feel myself being pulled into a hug.
"Liar~"I could feel his chin resting on my head. It's kind of nice... I turn around and burying my head in his chest, all the sudden I feel like I'm about to cry, I don't hold it back I let it all out.
"O-OJ.." I sob, I can feel Roman staring at us, I can hear Logan and Patton's confused glances, I know Thomas is very much confused, but it doesn't matter now that I have OJ.
"I'm right here darling I'm right here..." He pats my back then he slowly starts to sit us down, I just let him I've missed him.. he's like that one wine aunt, they reek of wine, they're a bit crazy, and they just let you do what you want, they're really comforting..
"I-Im s-s-so so-sorry auntie!" I whisper knowing full well the light sides could hear me. I don't care, I miss him.
"Never apologize for doing what you thought was right." He hugs me tighter, I feel two sides sink up next to me, then I feel Janus and remus' arms wrap around me, I feel safe again... Without even realizing it I fell asleep.
JANUS' POV
"Um- if I may- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!!" Roman yells.
"SHH" Remus sharply commands Roman, "he's asleep."
"Fine, just what happened?!" He lowered his voice.
"Are you blind? Virgil sunk up, he started to hug me, I asked him questions, reminded him not to lie to his aunt, he told the truth he said sorry and now we're here and he's asleep. It's not that hard to figure it out." OJ says in a completely different tone than what he was using with Virgil, when he's talking to Virgil or Remus, he sees them as nephews/sons, Argo he uses a softer voice on them, with me he uses his normal voice but in a playful manner, as we see each other as brothers, but with everyone else it's a cold sharp strict tone. One that if you go against it, you'd be in trouble.
"Of course I'm not blind but what are you to Virgil!" Roman stares him down.
"Oh and now you're deaf?? Hmmm how sad..." OJ teased.
"JUST TELL ME ASSHOLE!" Yep, Roman has officially lost it. I I feel Virgil move and whimper because of the sudden loud sound. It's always been one of his triggers loud sounds, but they're loud enough it'll send them into an anxiety or panic attack. But if he has control over it he's completely fine with the loud sounds, like listening to music he has complete control over what volume it's at, he just prefers it to be loud.
"I'm taking Virgil down to his room." I say about to sink down, I turn over to Virgil but then I hear- some type of metallic object? I quickly turned around and see Roman pulling out his sword.
"Roman- what are you doing with that?" I cautiously say.
"You are not going anywhere unless Pat or Logan go with you, Decite."
I look towards Logan, to either put a stop to this or come with me.
"Roman I highly doubt Janus' main goal would be to harm Virgil. If you cannot see I shall inform you about what's happening Virgil is very clearly leaning up against the dark sides, why would he do that if he felt like they had a malicious intent?" Logan supplies.
"I don't care. I'm not letting Virgil go with that snake!" Another whimper comes from Virgil, this time not from loud noise but from sensing anxiety in another side.
Every dark side can sence if their trait is being used, Virgil can detect anxiousness, Remus can detect intrusive thoughts, OJ can detect spikes of jealousy and anger, and I can detect when people are lying. If someone is having too much of said thought, then we would experience discomfort. For me it's my eye hurts, for Remus and Virgil, they get a headache, and for OJ his left hand will sting.
"Roman, calm down. I have no plans to hurt Virgil, if you cannot see he is sencing the anxiety we all are giving off, however this is a bit much for him, he currently has a headache and he would be much better if we went to his room. So I am now going to calmly go to Virgil's room. If you need me or Remus we will be in there.." I slowly say, making sure I don't trigger Roman to slice my head off.
"Fine." He puts a sword up and crosses his arms, and we sink down. Finally..
-TIME SKIP-
*ONE HOUR LATER VIRGILS POV*
I wake up in my room, Janus' cape is draped across my shoulders, and I'm cuddling Remus' octopus stuffed animal.
I sit up, and feel like someone has high anxious thoughts coming from downstairs, I usually don't listen to their anxious thoughts because I would never want the others to know what I think when I'm anxious, but- this is OJ.. he's almost never anxious. So I try to read them..
"They're going to take virgil away from us... they're going to forbid him from seeing us? Why?! I can't believe this is happening no this is not happening there's no way! I just saw him you can't take him away.."
I quickly hop out of bed and pull over Janus'cape. I grab Remus'octopus and hold it and I head towards the door. I open it and immediately hear Roman screaming and even higher anxiety inducing thoughts, immediately it gives me a headache. I accidentally drop the octopus. And at the bottom of the stairs Remus looks up at me. I see him look at Janus and back at me then look at Roman, then he quietly makes an exit up to my room.
"Hey storm cloud why are you awake?" He pets my head.
"I don't know, I'm not tired.." I mumble, "Loud." Usually when so many anxious thoughts start storming up they go into my head and I don't know what to do with them, so I don't have much time to figure out words but because they aren't my anxiety thoughts I'm not going into an anxiety attack.
"Do you want to come downstairs with me?" He asks. I nod my head knowing that it wouldn't hurt as much if Roman stopped yelling. I took my plushie and looked at Remus with puppy eyes. He chuckles.
"Do you want me to carry you?" He asks, I weakly nod my head, it hurt. I feel my self being picked up by Remus, I lean on him and close my eyes as he starts to walk downstairs.
-REMUS' POV-
"Hey Roman do you think you could stop yelling?" I ask him while still walking down stairs keeping my balance, holding Virgil and walking is hard-
"Why?" He asks without seeing the half-asleep virgil on my waist leaning on me.
"Because veevee is taking everyone's anxious thoughts into his head, so now he has a massive headache, yelling only makes it worse. If you feel the need to yell we can have this conversation another time."
"Fine." He reluctantly says "but this isn't over."
"Didn't claim it was."
