Roman was curled up in the living room with his special comfort blanket wrapped tightly around him. It was late at night, so he knew no one would find him there. He had the movie IT playing currently after having been disappointed by the remake of Pet Semetary. A cup of coffee and a bag of skittles rested in his lap untouched as his mind drifted away from the horror movie.

Their breathing picked up as Patton cornered them. Green eyes met grey ones as they pleaded to not be harmed. They hadn't meant to make Thomas draw himself zapping his brother!

"Naughty boys get punished. If you take your punishment well, then you won't have to sit in The Box," his sickeningly sweet tone caused the young king to whimper in fear. The so called Father said that every time and they still always ended up in The Box.

"I-Im not a boy! I-Im non-binary!" King whimpered out, hating when they were called a boy. It felt wrong them as a whole.

A loud WACK echoed in the room as Patton slapped King harsh enough to leave a bruise. King fell to the ground and tears fell from their eyes.

Roman jumped when he heard the stairs creak. His breathing hitched and he half expected Patton to scold his for staying up so late but instead Remus was there. The 'darker' brother had a cute 70's style nightgown on with his hair put up in a little ponytail.

"Hey Ro.. Can't sleep either..?" Remus asked as he came over and sat next to Roman. The Prince shook his head a little and took a sip of the coffee. "You're watching a horror movie, so something must be bothering you.."

"I just..felt like rewatching our old favorites is all.." Roman murmured as he opened up the skittles and held a red, green and blue one in his hand.

"Should I get Logan..?" Remus asked as he curled into his older brother's side. Roman shook his head and offered some to Remus.

"He's asleep, and we got into a fight earlier so it's best if you don't mention me to him. He'll probably think I'm doing it for attention.." Tears filled Romans eyes as he shoved a handful of the gay drugs into his mouth.

Remus sighed a little and placed a supporting kiss on his brother's cheek like a sibling would. "Ro.. You know Logan loves you right? You're special to him and I know he's special to you too.."

"I don't want to talk about it Re.." Roman mumbled as he ate more skittles to keep hid cries silent.

Remus sighed softly and got up. "Alright.. I'll be in Dee's room, so don't hesitate to give a knock on the door if you need me.."

Roman bit his lip before nodding. Alone. That's how he usually felt nowadays. Remus and Janus had a thing going and spent most of their time together, Patton and Virgil pushed him past his breaking point, and Logan.. They hadn't had a nice conversation in weeks and Roman felt like it was all his fault..

They screamed in agony as pain erupted through their body. Their figure glitched as Patton forced them to become to separate entities.

The two halves hugged each other as they looked at Patton in fear. They didn't want to be separated again! It hurt! Patton smiled innocently at the two boys and gently pet their hair before pulling it harshly.

"Bad boys get punished," Patton stated before dragging Remus away from Roman by his hair. They cried and called out for each other.

Tears rolled down his pale cheeks and he curled in on himself more. It was his fault. His fault Logan hated him. His fault Virgil ducked out forever ago. His fault Patton thinks he isn't good enough. His fault Thomas doesn't want him to be the hero. His fault Janus was upset. His fault Remus got hurt. He was a failure and would be better off dead. He should fade away and give Remus full power over creativity..

A gentle hand wiped his tears and caused the Prince to flinch. He opened his eyes–when did he close them?– and looked at the Side in front of him. Logan was there, looking like he had been crying.

"L-Logan..?" Roman asked, as if he wasn't sure it was real. Hallucinations are a side affect of not sleeping for 78 hours after all.

"I'm here, Ro.. I'm here.." Logan murmured as he pulled Roman into a hug. Roman couldn't help but hug back and get lost in the sensation. He needed this. Needed him. "I'm so sorry about the fights, I never meant to hurt you.."

Roman shook his head and held onto Logan. "I-its my fault.. I-I upset you a-and I started the fights.." he replied, on the verge of crying again. "I-Im sorry for hurting y-you.."

Logan held Roman. Both of them needed the comfort and needed each other.

"We'll talk it out tomorrow, Ro.. Let's get you some sleep.."
