Sanders Sides Fluff/Angst [DISCONTINUED]

King of Mean (Angst):

Ships: Dukeceit, mentions of platonic Royality, one-sided romantic Anxceit, & platonic Moceit.

This is based off of the song Queen of Mean from Descendants 3. Basically, Janus has decided to move into Patton's room and Remus is left heartbroken and alone. Janus still loves Virgil, even after dating Remus for so long. On the other hand, Roman has been spiraling into depression and relentless paranoia, isolating himself from the other sides as he is losing his grip on reality. If Thomas really trusted Deceit over Creativity, then could Roman really trust anyone? Was he even Roman? Who was he if he wasn't Thomas' hero? An identity crisis, overwhelming insecurity, and refusal to see anyone drives the prince mad with desperation. If Thomas wanted to be evil, then Roman would shrink to fit.
If Janus wanted to be among the goody two-shoes, then Remus would become what Janus wanted, even if it meant asking his brother for help...

Remus sniffled, pulling away from his pillow. He'd been crying, not bothering to be quiet since he was all alone. Janus, the only side who had ever been there for him, had left him alone. Janus knew nobody would take a chance on Remus, and yet he abandoned him anyway.
Remus began to pour his heart out, nobody there to listen...
"I'm so tired of pretending...
Where's my happy ending?

I followed all the rules,
I drew inside the lines,
I never asked for anything
That wasn't mine

I waited patiently
for my time,
But when it finally came,
He called his name!"

And now I feel this
Overwhelming pain
I mean it's in my veins
I mean it's in my brain

My thoughts are running
In a circle like a toy train
I'm kinda like a perfect
Picture with a broken frame

I know EXACTLY who to blame...

Patton and Virgil. Patton welcomed Virgil over there with open arms, and he had always treated Janus like a son. VIRGIL DIDN'T EVEN WANT JANUS, and yet Janus was infatuated!

I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the king
And there's no in between
'Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the king...

Roman was out of tears to cry, and his anger was bubbling over.
He blamed Patton for his anguish, as it was the "moral" side who had pressured him to have Thomas go to Lee and Mary Lee's wedding, only to give up fighting Janus at a few fibs from the sly, sinful scoundrel.
It was Patton's fault, and Virgil's fault as well. Virgil had a personal vendetta against Janus, pushing the prince to hate the self-serving snake as well. He knew what he had to do to get back at them all...

He left the mind palace, abandoning the only home he'd ever truly known for vengeance. For vengeance, he would need the assistance of the one side he never truly despised, despite him actic like he did...

Being nice was my pastime
But I've been hurt for the last time
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
There's nobody getting close to me
They're gonna bow to the Evil King
Your nightmare's my dream
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes

Roman made his way through the Forest of Forgotten Dreams, intent on making his way to the back of Thomas' mind to find his brother...

I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the king
And there's no in between
'Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the king of mean
The king of mean
The king of mean

Both brothers were on the same warpath against Patton and Virgil. Having the mental connection for the first time since the splitting, it pulled the two together in a way that they could only describe as paranormal. They reunited, both thinking the exact same thoughts...

"Something's pulling me
I

t's so magnetic
My body is moving
Unsure where I'm headed"

"All of my senses have left me defenseless
This darkness around me
Is promising vengeance"

"The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
There's nothing to lose
When you're lonely and friendless
So my only interest is showing this princess
That I am the KING
And my reign will be ENDLESS!!!"

A bright light surrounded the both of them, pulling them into each other and creating one side...
Romulus, the long shattered king...

His crown materialized on his head as Remus' morningstar and Roman's sword circled him.
"I want what I deserve!
I want to rule the world!
Sit back and watch them learn
It's finally my turn!"
The weapons merged and melded into a battleaxe made from cold, black metal.

"If they want a villain for a king,
I'm gonna be one like they've never seen!
I'll show them what it means!
Now that I am that,
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad!
'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be,
And he's calling me the King of Mean!
The King of Mean!

I want what I deserve!"

Romulus disappeared in a bright flash, setting the forest ablaze. He was on his way to take his revenge, but not for the reasons he originally had in mind- for his dear friend Patton's attack on him...

The End.
