"What'd he say?"

Patton asked as Roman stepped out of the Captain's office. Virgil was sat with Sammy as the non-binary officer showed Virgil his officers badge, to which the emo was fascinated by.

"He said that Virgil could visit Remus once a fortnight but if there is improvement with his behaviour and mind-set then another day could be added and also for me to help look after him and keep Sir informed of his changes. If that's okay with you! That is...?"

"Of course. You can even stay nights if you wish, I have 3 spare bedrooms.. it was my nana's old house, 3 stories high... Then if the days of Virgil seeing Remus twice, Remus could stay a night aswell?"

"I doubt Remus staying a night is a good idea... but that's a lovely thought... I'll have think about it though."

"It's up to you. I'm sure Virgil will love you staying though..."

I turn back to the emo in spoken to see him now looking at a photo dished out from Sam's desk of their partners. Suzie, Blake and Rhyly. Sam's a non-binary, pansexual polymorous, in a relationship with a bisexual girl, transgender boy and a pansexual boy. Their all so sweet together, I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but hope for a relationship as good as theirs with Virgil.

"Roman... as much as he recognised and remembered me, he may find it odd staying with me after so long of not. You may have only met him today, but I see the way the two of you interact. He'll want you there."

I turn back to Patton with a smile and a slight nodd and said a simple 'okay' before I started heading towards my em- the... the emo... not mine.... yet? No... Remus' emo... is he though? Either way... I started making my way towards Virgil and Sam with Patton in tow. Emo-in-thought turned around and beamed at me.

"Princey!"

"Hey Virge."

Virgil put the picture down and shot up, wrapping his arms around me. He let go and turned to Sam as he spoke to me. "Did you know Sam is non-binary and dating 3 people. It's so sweet!"

"Yes Virge, I know."

Sam laughed and Virgil turned back to me with his lips in the shape of an 'o'. Sam piped up, reaching out and shaking Patton's hand. "I'm Samantha. But I prefer Sam, Sammy or Sammon."

Patton chuckled at the last name and shook Sam's hand back. "I'm Patton. Pat, Patty or Dad." Sam smiled and sat back down.

"Now. You -Prince- need to leave. It's your day off from this place."

I smirked with a wink before saluting to them and taking Virgil's hand, who took Patton's with his spare, and we walked out the station.

"So, what's the plan for the cars?"

I turn to Patton as I ponder on his question. "Well... you could take Virgil in your car while I go talk to that twin of mine, then meet you at your house after?"

"Of course. Do you need my adress?"

"I saw it on the files."

Virgil bit his lip and looked between us with a sad expression. "You coming back?"

"Yeah."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

He smiled and suddenly this mischievous glint apeared in his eyes, almost like the one earlier, but this one is less innocent. He stood on his tip-toes and pressed his lips to mine once again. It was only like a peck, lasting nothing more than a few seconds, but turned Patton into a giggling mess and me into a flustered one. He stayed close and whispered a few words before he and Patton walked away.

"Don't tell the Duke."

I rubbed the back of my neck with a smile as I started heading back to my car. Once I was back behind the wheel, I just sat there, trying to calm down my flustered face before going to visit Remus. I turned the keys, and started my way home. It was a quick drive, but still quite a while away. Once I reached my destination, I turned the engine off and lent back in my seat. Taking a deep breath, I unbuckled my seatbelt anf stepped out the car, locked up and walked up to the door.

Before I even reached the handle, Remus threw the door open and wrapped his arms around me. "Hey? You okay?"

"Dee's gone?"

"Yeah."

He tightened his grip on me then slowly released. He must have looked around and noticed Virgil wasn't here because he sighed, fully let go of me and asked-
"What's the catch?"

"You're only allowed to see Virgil once a fortnight."

"No~!" He ran his hands through his hair and stormed back into the house, me follwing soon after once I had shut the door. He marched into the Living room, looked around before looking right at me with an almost pleading frown. "A fortnight?!" He gulped and flopped onto the couch, resting his head in his hands. "When do I get to see him?"

"Virgil said he wanted to see you tomorrow. My guess is to get used to Patton's home once again and most likely be able to spend the full day with you."

He sighed and lent back into the couch. He bit his lip and looked up. It was almost heartbreaking as I saw tears swell up into his eyes. "W-Why a fortnight?"

"Well... He needs to get used to the world without you being there all the time, the Captian said his attitude and personality need time to-... 'regain?' it's past self, not to mention, you have a criminal record!"

"You gave me the criminal record!"

"Don't blame it on me! You killed someone!"

"It was self defence and you know it! ...You weren't there... and they killed Ronnie....I watched that. You know the story.... you were with me in court."

Ronnie. Remus' little mimic. Also known as Remy. Our baby sister... Well, she was in questioning in her gender, she grew up around us for so long she felt more masculine with the feminine style in clothing but asked to stay the same for the time being. She was 15 when she died.

"Yeah... I know..." I moved and sat beside him, wrapping my arms around him.

He wasn't put in jail straight away. He watched her die then they went at him. It was in an alley. He stabbed the guy once they ran at him. He took Ronnie to the hospital, never mentioning the life-less body in the alley. He got nightmares after that. Each one getting worse. Watching her die again and again and again. Each one getting more gory. He was crazy from the start, but he became insane after. He didn't come to me... he went to Deciet (they had been friends since I can remember); they moved into the forest and into that horrid house. This all took 2 months. Unbelievable, but that's what Remus said.
That's when the body was found. It was in found at the back of the alley with a blanket drapped over. The wind had knocked the blacket off the foot when a 87 year old woman had walked into the alley looking for this boys' dog. The case took a while, but Remus was guilty. He was sentanced for 2 years in jail. Seeing as he did kill someone, but in defence and anger of the moment.

"Hey, Dukey?" Remus looked up, he managed to wipe the tears away, but his eyeliner and blue eyeshadow had smugded. "You'll see him tomorrow."

He nodded and I stood up, walking towards the stairs. "Roman?" I looked up towards him and he was staring into space.

"Yeah?"

"I think that's why I'm so attached to him. Virgil... that is. When I met him, it took a while for him to open up to me, but he reminded me so much of Ronnie when he did."

"Virgil said you had kissed him."

"I'm surprised he remembers that. I only kissed him those times because I thought Deciet would get jealous, thinking I was getting too close to Virgil."

Remus finally looked at me and I saw the broken look in his eyes.

"Roman... that boy is innocent. Always has been, always was.-"

"Same thin-"

"Shut it!... Either way, he's innocent and good and sweet and kind and-... and pure... I don't know to what extent we broke that or even how long Deciet abused him o-or-or-r..." He put his hands over his eyes and wiped this eyes. "Or how long he's been there... but you promise me that he's safe, he will get better, and I will see him. Promise me that you'll be there for him and you'll be that person he goes too if I'm not around?"

"I promise."

"Good." He stood up and walked next to me. "Where am I staying?"

"Guest room to the left of mine and I don't want you touching anything other than food, and stuff in the bathroom... oh and the phone. I have a pair of Black pyjamas in the top right draw in my room."

I lead him upstairs as I spoke, griping my hand onto the banister.

"You're leaving? Again? Why?!"

"I need to settle Virgil into Patton's home and keep a close eye. Logan told me to calculate his patterns and observe strange behaviours for when in court as info and for me to help."

"You won't hurt him right?"

I stopped at the top of the hallway before turning to my brother. Why would he even think I would hurt him?!

"Remus, I promised you to be there for him. I promised. If he can trust me... so can you."

I watched as he took a shaking breath before slamming his body into mine as he wrapped his arms around my neck. I was surprised at first, he hasn't shown me affection since Ronnie died. I I slowly wrap my arms around his back before pressing his tightly, he started to shake and I rubbed his back. I never knew my twin to this emotional, but it must have just been built up and now his walls broke. I don't know his side of the story. Because I'm not him. He slowly let go and stepped back, wipping his puffy, red eyes.

"I-I'm sorry... f-for cry-crying."

"It's completely fine Rem. I'm your brother... I'm always here."

"Not always."

And with that, he stepped into the guest room. I was shocked to say the least, I almost felt bad for leaving him tonight, but I promised him to look after Virgil, and that's exactly what I'm doing.

I stepped into my room and started making a bag for clothes and a note pad to write about the Virgil's strange habits. Once I knew I was fully packed, I threw one of the straps over my shoulder and left my room and tapped on Remus' door. I heard shuffling on the other side and I lent closer. "Dukey? I better be off. If you need me, I'm only a call away. Leftover pasta in the fridge, put it in the the microwave for 2 minutes. And also, mama wants you to call..." The shuffling stopped at the mention of her name. "She misses you."

The door opened and Remus smiled. "She does?"

"Yeah."

His smile grew and he raced down the stairs. I smiled and followed in second; once I reached the bottom, I found Remus looking in the phone book with the his phone in hand.

"You don't have Mama's number?"

"No... Dee made me block and delete numbers. When I got here, I had to look for your number to text you."

My lips formed a silent 'o' before I walked to my front door. "Well then... bye Remus."

"Bye Bye Brother."

I locked the house once I was out and headed back to my car.

Shoving my bag into the passinger seat, I shifted behind the wheel and buckled up. I started the engine and plugged my phone into the speakers. Just incase someone calls. Leaving the parking space, I started my way towards Patton's house. Sweet Moral Close, house 123.

Suddenly, a ringing errupted the silence and I glanced at the caller. ThomasS.

"Hey Tommy-salami."

'Hey soldier. How was visiting your brother?"

"Crazy... that's for sure..."

"What happened?"

"Let's see... he's okay... had an emotional breakdown on my shoulder but okay. I arrested Dee, finally! Turns out the two of them had a missing kid in their basement and Remus couldn't contact me."

"Kid? What kid? How old?"

"Virgil black. He's 20. I know he's not kid-kid, but still younger."

"I heard about him. It was heartbreaking what people said."

"What did they say?"

"Oh... well... people from his school didn't even notice he was gone. His 'maybe bullies?' said they hoped he got slaughtered so they wouldn't have to see him again. His family couldn't care less other that his little sister. Patton... I think his name was... was the only person that was crying and saying he missed the kid. Apparently he was quiet and depressed. Always getting spooked by the smallest things. Someone on the streets said they watched him get into a van almost like he knew the guy, and that was the last time anyone saw him. Only just turned 18 a couple weeks before. Poor guy."

I took a deep, shaking breath as I continued down the road. At least I know he's safe with Patton.

"So... you saved him?"

"U-uh... yeah..."

"What's he like now?"

"The complete opposite of that? Drastic mood changes. Still quite anxious, I don't think he even recognised that he was having a panic attack. He's smiles quite a bit. Child-like. Quite the flirt, but soo innocent. He already starts getting scared if I have to go somewhere."

"You're either already gained a boyfriend, or... something else happened...?"

"Maybe... both? I have no idea. Virgil, sweet innocent... kissed me and I so badly wanted kiss him back. But... I don't know if there is anything going on between him and Remus. Both say there isn't, but they had kissed in the past. Remus calls Virgil his baby-boy. And Virgil has this connection of wanting to be near Remus."

"What's he like with you though?"

"He's flirty. Quite emotional. Starts freaking out when I have to go somewhere without him. Adorable. Enthusiastic. Damn... I am crushing aren't I?"

"Big time. But... I think you're overthinking this which is so unlike you. If they say there's nothing between them, then there isn't. Probably because they've been around eachother so long. You said he kissed you?"

"Twice. First was to shut me up, second time was a goodbye... because I had to go see Remus."

"Yep. You're over thinking and it needs to stop. He wants you and it's so obvious."

"Have you met them?"

"No..."

"Thought so..." I sighed as I pulled into Patton's road. "Kay Thomas, I got to go."

"Alright talk to you later, Ro. Bye!"

"Bye~"

The line went dead as I started pulling up into Patton's driveway. As promised, it was quite large, but the beauty of the house showed how sweet and loving the owner was. Flowers were lining the garden walls, and plant pots at almost every window. I smiled to myself as I locked up the car, leaving the bag in the front seat.

I admired the garden as I stepped closer to door. The door. Patton opened the door and stepped out, wrapping his arms around me, he mumbled a chain of "Thank you" 's. I patted his back before he let go.
"I didn't get a proper chance to thank you earlier. So... thank you. For finding my anxious emo and bringing him back to me."

"My pleasure. I... I'm so sorry it was my stupid brother's boyfriend... partner...friend... whatever they classify as."

"It's fine. You didn't know and he's safe now."

Patton led me into the warmth of the house and I was immediately hit with the sent of cookies and other baked goods. There were photos lining the cream walls and four or five open boxes in the corner. This was only the kitchen and lounge.

"So... where is he?"

"Upstairs getting into some of his pyjamas I found."

I started looking at the pictures and smiled to myself. Most of them were of the two friends. There was barely any difference in their appearance, but you could tell that they were quite young. The youngest they look in the photo must have been at the age of 12. Virgil wasn't as dark but you could tell he had started being emo a few months before, Patton looked just as bright.

"Tea, coffee or hot chocolate?"

"A tea sounds quite relaxing. Thank you."

"Any time!" Patton walked into the kitchen and poured some tap water into the kettle and started boiling the water.

"How long have you two known eachother?" I questioned, turning back to the photos on the wall.

"Since we were 6. We pratically grew up together." Patton started giggling before leaning on the counter and turning to me. "Before he turned emo." He smiled before turning back to the mugs. "He was bright and creative and smart... then something happened... he started to be closed off. I became his only friend and he started to wear dark, baggy clothes. I knew his family did or said something, but I tried my best. He started to lighten up a bit but decided he felt quite comfortable in the dark clothing and became emo. For ages it was just me and him... I couldn't have asked for anything better..."

A noice echoed up stairs and padded feet walked along the corridoor. Patton took a deep breath before smiling and turning to the stairs. And there he was.

His hair was a bit messy but still adorable and his eyes were lit up as he examined the bottom hem of the shirt. It was purple and looked to be dropping off of one of his shoulders a bit. His pj bottoms were Nightmare before Chrismas and reached down to the floor.

"I-I r-really like it, thank you Patty." He smiled and looked up, eyes staring directly into my own. "Princey!" He 'waddled?' down the stairs, surprisingly not tripping once.

"Hey Angel."

He smiled towards me as walked up to Patton.
"Your hot chocolate is ready."

"Thank you..." He smiled again before picking up the mug and bitting the bottom left side of his lip. He looked adorable. Shuffling towards me, he took my hand with his free one and led me to the couch. He sat next to the arm rest and turned to Patton. "Can we watch movies?"

"I have a cubboard of Disney."

"Disney?... What was my favourite?"

Shocked? I am. Does he not know Disney, or does he really not remember as much as he should.

Patton hummed as he walked around the island with our mugs, passing mine to me. "Your favourite had to be either Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride or Black Cauldron."

"They sound like death."

I chuckled as Patton's smile grew. "Well... you liked all the dark movies."

"Can we watch the first one?"

"Of course!" Patton placed his mug down and raced down the hallway, Virgil taking a gental blow before sipping on his hot chocolate.

"How you liking it so far?"

He glanced at me with a little jump before giggling. "It tastes delicious. You should have tried some-."

"I ment... how you feeling about being out if that house?"

"House? More like room. It's almost refreshing."

"Almost?"

"It just doesn't feel right just yet. Silly, but I feel like it's different or not right...But it's comforting."

Patton walked back into the room waving the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' DVD. Virgil watched him very delicately, almost like he was going to disappear is Virgil were to miss a movement. "Ha! Movie in~! Hot coco in hand~," He stated, picking up his hot chocolate and sliding into the floor next to Virgil's feet. "Ready to watch!"

He pressed play and I watched as Virgil instinctively got sucked into the music of the movie.

After that, the night seemed to travel quickly. We ended up with Virgil in my bed, too afraid to be alone and saying something about a Nightmare and Deciet. I hate that man. With Every InCh of mE!! Virgil is currently wrapped around my torso, his head on my chest, arm drooped tightly around my waist. My arm was around his shoulders.

"Roman..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm really sorry for kissing you earlier... twice."

"Hey, I get it. First you were trying to shut me up then the second time it was a goodbye 'inpulse?' I think..."

"Uh... Yeah."

He curled up closer, hiding his face. His tone of voice and actions displayed what I had said was completely wrong.

"Or... do you want to tell me the real reason?"

Shifting to look at me, Virgil decided to sit up onto his knees and look at me, I followed in suit but only my torso with my arms underneath me, supporting my weight.

"Well... the first kiss may have been a 'shut up impulse' as you said,... but the second kiss wasn't really an impulse... or a goodbye, I knew I would see you after around 30 minutes or more."

I soon started to catch the gist of what he was saying and a smirked made it's way onto my lips subconsciously.

"Are you saying you kissed me cause you wanted too?"

"Maybe..." He looked down and played with the fabric of the duvet. Honestly adorable. My face flushed and all I could think about was his lips on mine. I wanted it so bad, but how would Remus act knowing I had been kissing his 'baby-boy'.

Who cares?

"Come here."

He looked up shocked, watching as I moved up into a sitting position. Shuffling his knees so he could get closer to me, I cupped his cheeks and leaned towards him, giving his a chance to back away. That was, until he smiled and closed the gap.

End of that Chapter. Sorry it took a while and that it's not as long as the 1st part.
~ Bye Demons!!
