Break 2
Roman walked into his bedroom, frowning as he caught his reflection in the mirror, and sat on his bed to think.
A prince was supposed to be compassionate not cruel. Roman started to think upon his actions with each of his fellow sides. He ignored Deciet often pretending he didn't exist. He pretended he didn't have a brother that was pretty bad. Remus just got on his nerves alot always speaking nonsense and acting insane. He got on pretty well with Patton but who didn't it was Patton you couldn't help but like him. He argued with Logan abit before Anxiety started hanging around more and he switched his attention to what he viewed as a threat. His relationship with Logan could use some improvement.
Anxiety. Well what could he say about how he treated Anxiety. He was nasty and cruel. It's true that Thomas couldn't achieve his dreams if Anxiety held him back. But the question was why did Anxiety hold Thomas back. Roman really thought upon this. Realising he didn't have an answer as he never bothered to get to know Anxiety before treating him badly he sighed. He supposed he should have given Anxiety a chance. But he was just always so closed off. Never sharing information about himself willingly, like his name.
Roman became ashamed of himself as he thought about how he behaved last night and this morning. He should of waited to find out who pranked him first before yelling at anyone. And his use of physcial violence so casuallly actually unnerved him. As a prince he shouldn't be so quick to violence. He thought about how he would go about apologizing to Anxiety and realised he still wasn't quite ready to put his pride aside.
Roman knew one of his flaws was his pride and his belief that he has to look absolutley perfect at all times. He looked into the mirror. He still had fluro orange hair with glitter in it. Remus had pranked him well and knew where to hit him where it hurts. He sighed as he continued to ponder his situation.
He hated that he was exiled to his room during all breaks unless it was time for meals. He didn't like to be alone too much and missing out on any and all fun others might be happening. Not to mention he might miss an important discussion. He sighed as he flopped back onto his bed now bored.
Thomas's friends decide to go and sit down in the Seating area as they discussed all they had learned. And what they theorised could happen.
Logan pulled out his book and continued it. Deciet spotting the books title had lightly laughed and pullled out a complete replica of the book and started reading it as well. He and Anxiety may be at odds but maybe this book could help him figure out why. Remus decided to climb into some air ducts and spy on Roman.
Thomas decided to pull Anxiety down into his bedroom to have a little talk. Patton followed in order to support Anxiety. Anxieety started to freak out alittle when Thomas guided him away from the others and into Anxiety's bedroom. They all say on the bed. Anxiety grabbing a faux fur black cushion and hugging it to his chest.
"Anxiety first I just wanted to see how you were coping with what happened this morning?" Thomas asked trying to ease into this discussion. Patton looked over at Anxiety and looked at the deep bruise on his cheeck.
Anxiety just sighed.
"I'm doing ok now, though I probably wont be comfortable near Roman for a long time" Anxiety answered.
"And that's totally fine" Patton said hugging Anxiety's shoulders.
"I, ah, also noticed earlier that you said calm on the outside storm on the inside. What does to mean exactly?" Thomas asked curious.
"Oh um It meant that while sometimes, not all the time mind, while I look calm on the outside, that I'm still feeling anxious, uh, on the inside" Anxiety muttered unsure if he was phraasing it right.
"Oh, you know, you can let us know if your feeling to Anxious and we can take a break if need be" Thomas told Anxiety raising his chin to get their eyes to meet.
"Yeah I know ... now"Anxiety muttered.
Patton just squeezed Anxiety harder.
"Ah I was also worried about the song title to how you were feeling." Thomas asked.
"Um geez, I don't know that's future me, I probably have had a really bad week in terms of anxiety. Also at this point I have alot of people still against me in the videos. So I'm probably not feeling the greatest" Anxiety tried to explain what future him could be feeling.
"Oh well if you ever have those concerns I'm sure Patton and I are completley willing to listen even if you need to rant about something" Thomas smiled at Anxiety.
Anxiety smiled at Thomas and muttered thanks.
"I also want you to know that if your feeling too overwhelmed you can come to us even if its just to sit there quietly for awhile. Maybe we can come up with a signal that we can use that you can do to let us know if your overwhelmed." Thomas told Anxiety seriously grabbing his hand.
Anxiety just threw Thomas a smile of gratitude feeling abit overwhelmed with happiness.
They sat there for a few minutes just soaking up the peace they all felt.
There was a knock on the door. Anxiety jumped.
"Yeah!" Thomas called.
"Its been fifteen minutes" Talyn's voice floated threw the door.
"Cool we'll be out there in a sec" Thomas answered. They heard them move away from the door and down to Romans door.
"Let's go" Patton cheered, excited about what might be next.
They got up and moved to the door. Exiting they saw Roman exiting his room. Anxiety shuffled closer to Patton taking his hand for comfort. Roman saw then and spotted how dark the bruise on Anxiety's cautious face was. Shocked and feeling immensly guilty he moved quickly passed them and to his spot in the viewing room. Anxiety let a a quiet breathe and they moved into the room taking there spots ready to see what else was in store for them.
