Deceit soon arrived to the side of Thomas's mind that he was way too familiar with. "Remus!" He screamed out for the dark side.
"Oh what pleasure do I owe to see you." Deceit rolled his eyes and carefully planned his every move.
"You know why I am here Remus. Virgil's more skittish than ever and he's having an attack once-a-week care to explain." Deceit slowly inched towards Remus he put on his intimidating persona.
"Nothing is wrong with my boyfriend." The obvious emphasis on the word my was clearly intentional, and Deceit realize that. "If there was something wrong he would come to me and tell me."
Every syllable was hard and it was meant to hurt but it didn't phase to Deceit. He stared at Remus with a sly smile, "If everything is…dandy, why does Virgil keep summoning me mid attack, unintentionally, and every time I ask him what happened, it Always Has To Do WITH YOU!!"
Deceit was getting mad, really mad, and Remus could see it in his eyes. Deceit cornered him and Remus just smirked. "Nothing's wrong Dee, everything is fine." And with that Remus left before Deceit could grab him.
Virgil was in his room thinking about what Remus suggested when he was summoned. He popped up, and Remus was pissed as always.
"You blame me, summon him, lie to him and tell him you're not okay!" Virgil flinches at his words, then Remus made a split second decision. Hands, on his shoulders, then pain.
Virgil slid down the wall he was pushed into. " AM I NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU VIRGIL!" Remus grabbed his shirt and threw him against the wall harder. Then… a crack, he grabbed his side.
" Remus, stop please." Remus looked down at the small side clearly in pain.
But this is what he deserved. He was ungrateful and blamed me.
Remus glared at him, then left leaving Virgil alone with his thoughts.
Patton had a weird feeling. Virgil still wasn't back, and Deceit was angrier than before. What was going on?
"HEY GUYS!" Pat and yell to get everyone's attention. "Where is Virgil."
" That bastard."
"Deceit no. I'll go get him." Logan said as he got up and pushed his glasses.
" You sure Lo." Patton was worried about Virgil and everyone could see it on his face.
" Yes Patton. I am sure. Now, I will be back with Virgil okay." If the sides wanted to they could pop-up right next to another side. They just needed to focus. And that's what Logan did. It was easier for him to pop up near other sides due to his high concentration level so he was able to be at Virgil side quickly. He did not like what he saw.
"Virgil! Are you all right." He was against the dark side's common room wall clutching his side for dear life.
" Lay down and remove your hand I have to see if your rib is broken." Virgil nodded and did what he said lifting the side of his shirt for the other side. " Holy shit Virgil. Okay, um, I'm going to lift you up and bring you to the others okay?" Virgil nodded.
Logan and Virgil popped up into the main room.
" Oh God. Should we lay him down on the couch."
"No, he should stay on the floor Roman, to keep his body flat."
Worry filled Patton's face.
My poor dark strange son, is he okay, does he need me, has he been hinting at me trying to show that something was wrong and I didn't notice? Did I fail him? Who did this to him and why? Did he- no Patton this shouldn't happen to anyone especially not Virgil he has already been through so much.
Patton was spiraling in his head but Logan's voice shoved his thoughts out of his head.
Logan lifted Virgil's shirt examining his ribs again. " Virgil I need you to tell me when it hurts okay." Virgil nodded and Logan lightly ran his fingertips over his ribs.
"LogAN STOP!" Logan froze startled by Virgil scream.
Deceit slowly sat next to Virgil and lightly grabbed his hand. " It's going to be alright Vee, okay." Virgil squeezed his hand.
" You're 4th and 6th ribs are fractured, the only thing that can help it heal is ice." Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. " How did this even happen Virgil?"
Virgil turned pale. "I-I uh, I slipped, yeah, I slipped and um fell on my side." Logan glanced at the seat. Deceit slightly shook his head. Virgil didn't notice.
" Roman, Patton, can you help Virgil get to his room. He needs rest, ice, company…" He paused. Logan looks directly at Virgil and continued, " and Remus is not to be in his room with him, okay."
Virgil gulped.
Roman picked up Virgil ever so carefully and carried him Bridal style to the anxious sides room. Roman lightly laid the injured side down on his bed leaving Deceit and Logan alone to... discuss the events that had just occurred.
"We can both agree that... that what happened was Remus' is doing correct." Logan looked at Deciet hoping that this conversation would somehow stop him from killing Remus.
"Right. Is he going to be okay Lo, because I'm so worried about him I don't want him to duck out."
"I know Dee but-" Logan stopped to gather his thoughts for a second, " He's going to be fine, all right." Deceit nodded. " Okay now that we- now that we are both in agreement, should we confront Virgil and tell him we know, or tell Remus, or wait and confirm our suspicions?"
"I honestly, look at me 'honestly', okay but really I don't know, I don't want to bombard him with questions, I don't want Remus to get mad at Virgil for letting us find out and, I don't want Virgil to put up with Remus any longer. I don't know." He sighed, " let's just go check on Virge for now, make sure he's Gucci."
The look on Logan's face was priceless, Deceit cracked a smile and ran up the stairs, straight to Virgil's room leaving Logan confused.
