"Ghosts..?" ( Karrot Kings Ship )

Quite the Predicament..

Nico's POV

Finally a relaxing time. Well.. If you could call it that.

After a while of having writers block, I finally found a good prompt to start drafts on, and the ideas are flowing in!

Whenever I get in this mood, I feel like I'm above anything else, and nothing can get in my way!

I feel like nothing could distract me right now!

CRASH

..Except the one person who constantly needs me.

Right in the middle of a paragraph, I hear a huge crash come from downstairs, and I jump.

It takes me a few seconds to regain my thoughts on reality when I remember Thomas was downstairs watching cartoons since he didn't want to disturb me working.

Almost falling out of my chair, I rush out of the room and nearly trip down the stairs.

"T-Thomas?!" Frantically, I look around. Please don't tell me he's hurt! Please be okay! Please be okay! 

My eyes look over at 7 people who had all stopped and turned to me, and it took a few blinks to recognize the sides, and the scene.

Thomas was backed into the couch, trying to avoid what seemed like a fist fight between the twins, Roman and Remus. Janus was wrapped in his cape, swatting at a ticked-off Logan, who seemed to have a syringe of some kind, and Patton was trying to calm a terrified Virgil, who looked like he was having a panic attack in the corner.

Standing in the doorway, looking at the scene before me, I sigh. At that point, I think annoyance was the first look on my face as I crossed my arms.

"..Uhh... Hey Nico..!" Thomas gave an awkward smile. He looked like a 5 year old who'd just gotten in trouble.

I raised an eyebrow. "Explain. Please?"

Thomas opened his mouth to start talking, but Patton chimed in. "Roman and Remus got into a fight about what cartoon to watch, Logan is trying to experiment on Janus, and Virge is freaking out about all the emotions happening."

"I'm not 'experimenting' on Janus. I'm merely going to give him some quick anesthesia to shut his lying snake mouth." Logan spat between his teeth.

"All I said was sitting too close to the TV would damage Thomas's eyesight!" Janus exclaimed.

"Yeah and where'd you hear that one? CNN? Better for you to take a quick nap for a long time then." Logan glared daggers at Jan, who started freaking out.

"BULLSHIT ANESTHESIA'S IN THERE! YOU'RE GONNA FRICKEN KILL ME!"

I sighed. "Lo. Put the syringe down. Janus, stop lying about small things to make Logan mad."

Logan scoffed. "But I'm not even-" I cut him off.

"Now!"

He grumbled and reluctantly dropped the syringe, which kinda poofed out of existence when it hit the ground, and backed away from Janus, who hissed under his breath. 

"Now, You two!" I pointed at the twins who immediately backed off from each other.

Roman started his fussing first. "Remus keeps taking the remote controller, when I just want to watch Steven Universe!"

"We've already watched that gay show like 20 times! Get OVER it, Princey. Its overrated at this point." Remus scoffed.

Roman, taking offence to this, got up. "Don't you DARE tell me that my lesbian crystal rock aliens are overrated! Any show YOU want to watch is not E for everyone here!"

"Puh leeese. You only ever watch kid shows and movies you prude! Learn to love other shows!"

I intervened before things escalated. "Hey! Stop it! You both can watch whatever you want to watch in your rooms. Or you can learn to take turns. Got it?"

"..Yes Nico.." They both agreed with me, reluctantly, and crossed their arms.

Lastly, I turned to Virgil. "Virge? You okay now?"

Quietly, he nodded. "....Yeah... Yeah.. I should be getting better now..."

"..Good. Now that everything's calmed down, I want everyone to go to their rooms."

"Wha?!-" The twins started to rebuttal, but I cut them off. "Hey! I want everyone to go to their rooms until they feel like apologizing. Now go! No talking!"

One by one, I watched everyone sink into the floor, and go back to their rooms.

"Thanks Nico..! I might go into mine too.." Patton gave me a grin before sinking out.

The whole fiasco taken care of, I sigh, and facepalm for a second.

"..Wow.. I didn't know you were good at taking control of situations like that, Nico!" Thomas. clearly a bit tired, smiled, and relaxed on the couch.

I sit beside him, and he leaned his head on my shoulder. "Well.." I laughed. "They're really no more different then babysitting kids."

Thomas chuckled a bit. "Sorry for taking you out of your work moment."

"Eh.. Its okay. I needed a break anyway." I give Thomas a smile, before grabbing the TV remote.

"So what do you wanna watch?"
