~Deceit's POV~

I was going back to my dorm room since I ate out tonight. I shivered. Sometimes I would just feel cold for no reason. Even on a hot day.

I got to my dorm. I opened the door, carefully. I saw Bane cuddled up beside Synn. They were both asleep. I had to be careful and quiet.

I tiptoed to my room very carefully, trying not to wake both of them up. I eventually got to my room. Or... closet. Yeah, since I'm not apart of the group, they made me sleep in a closet. The worse thing is... I'm claustrophobic.

I quickly gathered my blanket and what I needed to go to sleep. I closed the closet and tiptoed back to the entrance. I closed that door and put my stuff down next to it. I was just going to sleep in the hallway from now on.

I made my 'bed'. Literally a pillow and a blanket on the hard floor. I lied down and pulled the covers over me.

I felt my eyelids grow heavy and just closed them, leading me to sleep.

~Morning~

~Virgil's POV~

I was walking down the hallway of the dorm, just minding my own business. Then I saw something... or someone, laying on the floor.

I walked up to them and noticed that it was Deceit. Why was he sleeping out in the hallway? I wanted to wake him up, but he looked peaceful. So I just texted Roman and the others to get here.

A few minutes later, they all came, looking exhausted.

"What could be so important, you had to wake us up?" Logan asked.

"I don't know. But, I feel bad..." I said and gestured to Deceit. He shivered a small bit.

"Why is Deceit in the hallway?" Remy asked. I shrugged. Suddenly, Deceit stirred a bit and his eyes opened. Deceit groaned as he noticed the light.

~Deceit's POV~

I groaned at the light. It was too bright.

"Deceit?" I heard someone say. I looked up and noticed it was Virgil and the others. I scowled.

"What? Are you here to laugh at me because I'm so lonely and got kicked out of my own room?" I asked. I stayed on the floor.

"What? No... I was just worried because you were sleeping on the floor and not in your own room. What happened?" Virgil asked. I looked away.

"Well, I got kicked out of the group, that also means I get no room. They made me sleep in the closet. But I can't since I'm claustrophobic." I explained. I heard some shuffling inside the room and I tensed up. I quickly got up on my feet and walked away from the door.

The door opened, revealing Bane. He crossed his arms and leaned on the doorway. He smirked at me.

"Wow... didn't think you would sleep out here." Bane said. "Well, serves you right."

I stayed quiet. Knowing if I talked, it would only end in a bruise.

"What? Snake got your tongue?" Bane asked when I didn't say anything. "Whatever, I have more important things to do than talking to you, pathetic liar."

Bane walked into the room and closed the door. I sighed. I am a pathetic liar...

I gathered up my things.

"Deceit? Do you really want to keep living with them?" Virgil asked.

"I'm sure... they won't affect me that much." I lied. They will. They will affect me so much that one day I'll just break. I walked inside the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~

~Virgil's POV~

I still couldn't help by feeling worried for Deceit. He had to live with both Bane and Synn.

"Virgil? Are you okay?" Roman asked, quietly.

"I'm fine. Just worried." I said, quietly.

"Well, let's just go back," Roman said to me and the others.

We walked back to our dorm. We walked in and I just went straight to my room. I needed to practice playing the guitar. I only had a month more for this project.

~4 hours later~

I was playing the whole song from the top. I looked where I put my fingers and strummed the guitar as it said on the music sheet.

I finished the song and heard some clapping behind me. I turned and found Roman by the doorway. My cheeks flushed a bit.

"H-how long were y-you standing there?" I asked him.

"The whole time." He said. I felt my face getting warm. "And it was beautiful!...ou"

"What was that last part?" I asked.

"W-what? N-nothing!" He stuttered. Right... something was definitely up with him.

"Okay...? Why are you here?" I asked. He sat in Emile's desk chair, like always.

"I just... wanted to hang out with you and ask you some questions."

I nodded. "Okay sure. Let me put my guitar in its case."

I walked over to the corner and stuffed my guitar in its case. I turned around, just to find Roman blushing red.

"What is it?" I asked.

"...Nothing..." He muttered.
