Welcome to the twelfth rewritten chapter!

The night was only beginning as Logan walked towards his room. He had many papers to fill out and store away in the brain. He opened the door and was caught off guard by a shadowy figure sitting with their back turned to him in his chair.

Dramatically the figure turned around like a James Bond villain. The only thing missing was the cat.

"Welcome" Deceit greeted in his usual silky smooth tone.

"If this is meant to be some sort of joke it is not amusing me" Logan said druly.

"It's definitely not a surprise" Logan groaned at the response.

"I dislike surprises, you can not plan for them"

"Oh what a shocker" Deceit did mini jazz hands as he said shocker "You've completely misunderstood the meaning of a surprise" he patted the other man on the shoulder while continuing "So so darling I'll fix that"

He gestured for Logan to take his hand. The logical side thought about how big of a chance there was that Dee suddenly had gotten a new interest which consisted of murdering people. He mumbled something about how this was not the way he thought the evening would go before taking a not very firm grasp of the other's hand.

Deceit walked in a fast pace out into the hallway, dragging the man who definetly was not ready for what was awating him with him after him. A part of Logan was afraid of someone spotting them. He wanted to go back to his room.

"So apparently every dream that's ever been played in the dream theater is not saved in case Roman needs a break or something so they can be replayed" Deceit looked forward while he spoke to hide the excited smile on his lips " And I like the genius I am decided to use this"

"I assume locking Roman in a shed is not part of your plan"

"I would never" He gasped making a mental note to write that down later in case it could come in handy.

they arrived at the end of the corridor. right next to them was the dark brown door with a velvet red crown painted upon it which led into Roman's room. In front of them was another even darker brown door but this one was the entrance to the dream theater.

At first when they entered they saw the true form of the theater. It was a large room mostly filled by cozy chairs. At the far end of the room the stage upon which the prince created and performed the new dreams could be seen. Since the dream which Thomas dreamt tonight had already been created the room started morphing into it without Roman actually having to be there. In that moment the prince was sitting in his room watching epic fail compilations on youtube. After only a few seconds the two men found themselves standing on a grassy field in the night.

Logan gasped when he looked up. The sky was filled with stars each one brighter than the next. Meanwhile Deceit looked around to inspect the surroundings. They were standing at the top of a hill with only a few trees around. At the foot of the hill vast woods started. The mighty roars of a dragon witch could be heard. That was probably were the part of the dream Thomas took part of took place and if everything went right when he woke up tomorrow he wouldn't even know that they had been apart of his dream.

Deceit let out a short screech when he saw that the dream had also changed what he was wearing. The medival looking shirt and pants were no problem, not even the wooden shoes annoyed him. It was the fact that he didn't have any gloves. Walking around knowing that everyone could see the scales on his face was bad enough but showing the scales on his hand was a constant reminder that they were all over his stupid body. He buried his hands deep in his pockets.

"It seems like we are some sort of background characters in this dream" Logan said while looking down on his sweater. "A human has between 5 and 8 dreams per night so whatever you want to accomplish here do it fast"

"That smile you had when you saw the stars is proof that I've already accomplished what I came here not to do"

"Oh" Was the only thing that Logan could think of as a response to the fact that Dee had taken him stargazing. He laid down in the grass staring at the various constellations, the other quickly joined him. "Want to hear about them?"

Deceit nodded in response. Logan started info dumping about all from Orions belt to Perseus and Andromeda. The snake turned around so he could see the other man's face better as he excitedly went on. to him the shimmering in Logan's eyes was 10 times more beautiful than any of the stars. Janus never get bored of looking at him. Every time he saw something new. Like the light almost invisible freckles Lo had on his cheeks or how whenever he was deep in thoughts he subconsciously started fixing his hair or how kissable his lips look...wait a minute...that is not a very platonic thing to think.

Janus gulped. He knew he his heart wasn't supposed to beat this fast. He knew he wasn't supposed to want to spend the entire night listening to Logan. He knew he wasn't supposed to get attacthed to any of the light sides. He'd ruined everything.

He was in love with Logan.

He knew he had no chance with him and lying about it would only make him feel worse so the only logical choose was too lie about his own feelings. He had to run away, to tie Logan up in a shed somewhere or start a relationship with a house plant. Anything but to stay here and thank the universe that he was laying here hearing Logan talk about one of the things he loved most.

There was no chance for him. Because he was a dark side and the only reason Logan hadn't run away yet was that he wanted to look at the stars. Because he was a bothersome villain no one ever wanted to be around. Because half of him was so disgusting and inhuman no one would ever want to be with him if it wasn't to use him for their own gain.

"Are you alright?" Logan asked after noticing the change in the other man's body language.

"Yes"

"You do realize I can tell you are lying right"

"And I can definitely not do the same when you lie" He sat up and made sure to turn his head so Logan could only see his human side "Do....Do you think my snake parts look I dunno disgusting?" He mumbled out.

"They are a part of you just as much as my glasses are a part of me" Logan caressed Deceit's cheek and made him turn his head towards him. He tenderly brushed a lock of hair away from Dee's yellow eye "It is nothing to be ashamed of"

Janus pulled Logan into a hug so suddenly they both nearly fell over. He let himself breath out again before buried his head in Lo's head . Logan didn't really know what to do so he just let his arms hang by his sides.

"You promise?" Deceit whispered nearly inaudible.

"Of course" Something about seeing Deceit happy made him...made him......Logan couldn't describe the feeling.

A growl from the dragon witch louder than the other ones interrupted the silence and when Logan looked up from Deceit he saw why. The dragon was sprinting towards them. Behind it a younger version of Thomas ran after with a shining sword in his hand.

They didn't even have to look at each other to know that they had to run. Both because of the dragon murdering them and because they would probably get in trouble if Thomas saw them. Or Thomas would just question why Roman had made a dream with Logan and Deceit stargazing in it.

Sometime during the running they took one another's hand. When they came into the woods on the other side of the hill the growls became more distant and sword swinging could be heard. They hid behind a tree. Logan held out his arm in front of Janus in an attempt to protect him, he didn't want to see him more hurt than he already had.

A final roar quickly followed by a triumphant yes! hinted that the dragon witch had been slaughtered. Deceit couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity that they had been hiding from a dragon witch and logan joined in with his hollow and short laugh.

"That was certainly something" He said.

"I almost don't wish all my dat- nights ended this way"

"The night technically is not over" Logan once again cursed himself for actually enjoying the time he spent with Deceit before continuing "So what do you want to do now?"

"I don't know" Of course he knew what he actually wanted to do, he got reminded of it every time he saw Logan's beautiful lips "At this point I'm so bored I can do whatever you want"

"Based on our clothes and all I am assuming we are in some sort of medival world so how about we find a town and...You like tricking people right?" Deceit nodded "And trick people"

They started to traverse the woods while keeping an eye out for the young Thomas. Suddenly Logan took Janus' non scaly hand in his. He didn't say anything about it, he just kept on walking. The trees started to become more and more sparse until they came out on a field which lead to a small village. Among the people in the market the swordsman could be seen. Deceit stopped in his steps which made Logan stop too.

"Hey-"

"We have been together for at least 1 and a half hours why are you greeting me now?"

"It's a sentence starter sweetheart" He turned to look Logan in the eyes not letting go of his hands "Anyway" Feelings was so annoying but he wanted to make his love happy so he continued "I've not noticed that the other sides don't really listen to you"

"I am being quite heard on our meetings"

"Yeah you're annoyingly loud sometimes but there's a difference between being heard and being listened too and I know you know that"

Logan didn't reply. He glanced down at the ground. He didn't want to acknowledge that fact.

"I just didn't want you too know that I never listen to you" He took the others free hand and winced since he was using his scaly hand, but it was worth it to hold both of his hands "And I most absolutely definitely don't care about you because right now you're not the only light I have left"

Logan didn't understand how Deceit could ever care about him. He didn't understand how anyone would ever care about him.

"I will keep that in mind" Logan tried to hold back a smile. They continued to walk while holding hands "Did you know that not all snakes have fangs. Only those that kill their prey with venom have them" Deceit had a mini existential crisis.

"Can you hold out your arm for me?" He asked. Logan did as told. Janus leaned down and gently bit his one fang down into his arm. Turns out he wasn't venomous.

Unknowingly to the two in another part of the house Virgil was looking for his headphones. They were almost always in his room and when they weren't they were on his head so where the hell could he have put them.

While he was storming through the corridors he remembered that he had taken them with him when he looked at the dream last night. Sometimes watching the dreams made him sleepy which was good since he was on the brink of becoming an insomniac.

When he walked into the dream theater things looked normal at first. It took a bit of time especially when the dream was as expansive as this one for it to show up when you first walked in. So when Virgil looked around the only thing on the stage he saw was Logan and Deceit chatting with each other while holding hands.

His neck tightened as he realized that Deceit was taking his family. He had no choice but to talk to the snake.
