*Obligatory 'I don't own Sanders Sides' or the characters. I only own the plot of this story.
And yes, in this fanfiction, my version of Deceit has fangs like a viper, but they only come out for intimidation purposes, or when he's angry/threatened.*
Janus has been feeling unwell, and -using his lies to lay low- has been hiding it from the other sides.
When he is found unconscious by a certain fatherly side, things take a turn for the alarming.
With Janus out of action, Thomas finds himself barely able to lie, opting to stay silent for a lot of things so he didn't blurt things out.
Not only this, but he's been working himself to stages of burnouts, not taking his self-care into consideration.
Roman, who thinks Thomas would be better off without Janus' scheming ways, now has to come to terms with what would really happen without the snake boy around.
Prepare for angst, prepare for fluff, and prepare for a lot of emotions.
A/N: contains cursing, sickness (mentions of vomiting, fainting etc), sympathetic!Deceit, conflicted Roman, analogical, -platonic?- remusxdeceit in the future(?) and a couple of scenes that may be a lil sensitive to a younger audience, though I'm trying to keep this as wholesome as I can.
