(My idea)

No P.O.V (I have no memory of what it's actually called)

(Ok so Deceit was normal looking for a while but he got kidnapped and tortured and turned half snake. Including split tongue. He also bleps when someone boops his nose out of reflex becuz that's something his torturer taught him. He kept his mouth shut when he was found. The form of torture is known as pet torture where the torturer turns the victim into a half and half between some type of animal that's generally kept as a pet and the victim. Remy knows about it.)

Derek was normal. Well, as normal as you could get in his situation. He was in a relationship with a boy named Patton, who was the most kind and loving person Derek had ever known. They were happy together.

They had a huge family. Well, more like a giant group of people so close they considered each other family. Everything was ok. Until-

🌪Derek's P.O.V🌪

I wake up in a dark room, lit only by a single dim lightbulb. I'm tied to a chair. Where am I? How did I get here? Where's Patty? I don't like it here..

I look down and notice I'm only in my boxers. I swear if this is a prank I'm going to lose it.

A door opens in front of me and I look up, seeing someone I've never met. He looks to be a part of Thomas's personality, but I don't know what part he could possibly be.

His hair is sticking up all over the place. He has a crazed look in his glowing green eyes. He's wearing a lab coat, except it's orange?

"Ah, good morning Deceit. I'm glad you decided to wake up." He walks towards me and kneels to my level.

"Who are you? A-and I'm not Deceit." The man in front of me glares and stands up.

"I'm Corruption, but you can call me Master." Corruption. I've heard that name before, where have I heard it?

"There is no way in hell I'm calling you Master." He smirks and kneels again, this time getting in my face.

"I don't think you understand the position you're in, Deceit." I glare at him and he stands, walking back towards the door.

"You better not leave this room." Corruption looks back at me, growling. He comes back over to me and slaps me across the face. My head snaps to the side and I feel a stinging pain in my cheek. Next thing I know I'm looking him in the eyes.

"I suggest not telling me what to do because this'll get a lot worse really quick." He walks out of the room and slams the door shut behind him.

I guess... That wasn't the first time my big mouth got me slapped. It used to be like a pat on the back. Like a trophy for my snarky remarks. Now it feels like a death wish.

*4 weeks later*

I hear the door open and I look up. All the comments, all the back talk, had all stopped. I can't speak normally anymore. He did something to me. He's a monster.

"Hello Deceit! So, I have an idea but I want to make sure you're ok with it!" He has such fake enthusiasm. There is no WAY he is actually asking me if I'm ok with something. He'll probably do it anyways.

"I'm totally looking forward to this." I sigh and roll my eyes. I hate this. I hate lying, it isn't me!

"Glad to hear! Now, this may hurt just a little bit... Ok it'll hurt a lot, but I'm sure it'll work and if it doesn't, oh well." He holds out a syringe with some yellow liquid inside. I hiss and try to back away. If it weren't for these stupid restraints.

"Ooo~ is little ol Deceit scared of needles?" I bite my tongue and get as far away from him as I can, which isn't very far.

He grabs my arm and I look away, feeling him stab the needle in. I try my best not to scream. I've always had a terrible fear of needles. This, is not helping in the slightest.

Black dots cloud my vision and I try to stay awake. I can't let him have his way with me once I'm passed out. Regardless, I soon faint, the last thing I feel being the syringe slowly leave my arm.

*1 month later*

I've given up. There's nothing I can do anymore. I'm hideous. I can't speak truthfully. The others aren't coming for me. Why would they? Patton never loved me. It was probably all an act.

I hear the door open and I don't even bother to lift my head. I know who it is. It's always the same person. I feel tugging at the rope constraining my arms and open my eyes, seeing the rope wrapped loosely around me.

"Alright girl, let's go. We don't have all night" My head shoots up and I see Remy, standing there holding a knife. He must've cut the ropes. I stand but immediately fall back down. It's been so long since I've last walked. Let alone moved...

Remy bends down and picks me up, seemingly surprised at my weight. My head feels like I was just hit by a train. He swings my arm around his shoulders and rests his hand on my waist.

"You might wanna close your eyes for this." I close my eyes and feel a heavy weight almost push me to the ground. It feels like when I used to teleport. Wait- I open my eyes and hiss at the bright light.

"I told you!" Remy leads me to a bed and sits me down. I rub at my eyes, trying to see again. Eventually I can see Remy rummaging through a closet. I look around and admire the room.

The walls are a dark blue and have multiple Starbucks stickers on them. There's a small desk with nothing but a phone on it. The bed I'm sitting on has a really fuzzy blanket and a single pillow. The floor is a soft maroon carpet. Everything in here screams 'sleep'.

"Ok I think this'll work for now. I would help you take a shower but, no, so I'll get the bath started and then you're gonna take a bath because no offense but you stink." I just nod and lay back. I wonder how Remy found me. Do the others know?

I hear a sigh and look over to see Remy coming towards me. He picks me up and lays me comfortably on the bed, wrapping the blanket around me. I snuggle into the blanket. It's been so long since I've been this warm. This feels nice.

My eyes softly flutter closed and I let sleep consume me.

🕶Remy's P.O.V🕶

He looks like he hasn't slept right in ages. It's been around two months since he went missing. I still can't believe the others forgot about him. I mean, Emilie didn't but he remembers everyone.

I walk into my bathroom and start the bath. I should get Emilie in here now that I think about it. He'll probably be able to help. Derek hasn't spoken once and it's concerning.

He'll probably prefer warmth over the cold so I'll use more hot than cold water. I don't want him to be burning hot but he looked freezing. Ok.. I have to remain calm.

I've just found Derek by pure chance and now he's naked, laying in my bed asleep. He's been... Modified... A little bit. Ok, a lot bit. Ugh I feel so bad for him! I've only heard stories but they're true and he should've never had to go through that.

I finish filling up the bath and turn off the water. It's only a little warm, but it might feel hot to him so I have to tread lightly.

I stand and walk back out to him, seeing him still laying asleep. I walk over to him and poke his shoulder, not wanting to hurt him. He flinches anyway and looks up at me, looking relaxed immediately.

"Hey, I got the bath ready. Come on, I'll help you." He uncovers himself and I help him stand. I stand him next to me and put his arm over my shoulders, grabbing his hip at the same time. I have to get him used to walking again. Who knows how long it's been since he's walked.

I bring him to the bathroom, making sure he doesn't fall. He's more in the air than on the ground but he has to get used to the motion at the very least.

I sit him down at the end of the bathtub and look him in the eyes, waiting for any type of permission to remove his boxers.

He shakes him head and I sigh, nodding. He'd rather take a bath with those on like a heathen. Regardless, I help him in and help him bathe. We don't need to go into any more specifics.

*time skip to like, 2 hours later*

Well. I did it. I had managed to get him to change into completely new clothes, aka my clothes that are a little too big on him but makes him look adorable.

He wasn't so keen on completely changing for a while so I had to make him sleep so I could change him. He wouldn't let me do it if I hadn't. Also, a little fact I learned, for whoever dates Derek now, DO NOT LET HIM TOP. The nerds will get why 😉.

I'm just going to let him sleep while I call Emilie. He's like, my go to b*tch. When I don't know what I'm doing, I go to him and he tells me to think stuff through. When I get mad at the sides, I go and express my anger with him. When I steal corn, I share with him. He gets me. (You'll get that if you're a true fan)

"Heya Rem! What can I help you with?" I chuckle at his excitement. I guess it has been a while since I've gone to him for anything.

"I uh, have a little situation that I need help with. Could you come over to my place like, ASAP." I look over to Derek, seeing him sleeping peacefully.

"Oh! Sure uh, I'll be right over." I hear Emilie hang up the phone and I sigh, setting it down. Derek needs to see the sides. Maybe seeing him will make them remember? I mean, he looks completely different now but I'm sure if he'll just talk they'll recognize his voice, right?

I hear a knocking at the door and I rush over. I open the door and see Emile, standing in his pj's. I'll be honest I didn't even consider what time it was.

"Hey Rem! So, what is it?" I bring him inside and close the door behind us. I lead him over to the bed and stop, pointing to Derek's sleeping figure.

"Who's... That?" I sigh and sit on the bed. I rub Derek's shoulder and he looks up at me. I hate how easily he's woken.

"Hey D. Emilie's here. Do you remember him?" Derek shoots up and looks at Em, who looks really confused.

"Hello, uh... What's your name?" I got to tell Emilie but I hear Derek speak. I look over and see his hand covering his mouth.

"What was that, sweetie?" Derek looks down then back at Emilie.

"D-Deceit." Deceit? But wait, isn't this Derek? Maybe- OH HE DID NOT.

"WAIT WAS YOUR ROLE DECIDED FOR YOU?!" Derek jumps back and holds his chest where his heart would be. I must've scared him ugh why did I yell?

I see Emilie wrap his arms around Der- Deceit... "Hey, it's ok sweetie. You're alright calm down." Deceit wraps his arms around Emilie and buries his face in the crook of Emilie's neck. Emilie pulls away from him and Deceit fidgets with his hands, looking down.

"Sorry.... But, Derek, was your role decided for you do you- do you not have a choice anymore?" Derek nods and I hear Emilie gasp. I knew it.

There's so little roles left and Derek's a good person so he would've done everything in his power to pick a role that would help Thomas. One that everyone would deem important.

"Awww you poor baby! Come here gimme a hug!" Emilie hugs Deceit again and I look down. How will the sides react? How will Patton react...?

I feel someone tug at my jacket, successfully pulling me into the hug. "Group hug!" Emilie giggles and I smile. We break apart and just sit there, watching each other. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I gotta know what we're doing.

"Ok so, just to let you know, the sides don't know you're back and..." I trail off, looking to Emilie. He seems to get what I'm talking about and holds Deceit's hand in his.

"This'll be hard to hear but, it's important to hear before we go see the sides." I feel my heart shatter at his confused expression.

"De, the sides forgot you." I watch Deceit's eyes widen. He pulls his hands to his mouth and covers his mouth.

"W-what do you mean?" I can't stand to see him hurt like this. They didn't forget about Deceit. They forgot Deceit entirely. I mentioned his name to them and they had no idea who he was.

"I mean, they don't remember you. At all. Something happened to them." Deceit covers his face with his hands and flinches. He holds his hands out in front of him. He has tears in his eyes and his hands are shaking like crazy.

I wrap him in a hug and feel him hug back, slowly hiding his face in the crook of my neck. I rub his back gently, remembering the sensitive scales that cover most of his torso.

"Hey Rem..?" I pull away from Deceit and look at him, only for him to cover his mouth again.

"Do you think we could get some gloves?" Gloves? Why?

"Ok but I gotta ask, why?" Deceit looks down at his hands. The scales only run up the back of his hands so it's no big deal really.

"I dunno. I just love seeing them, I guess." I look at Emilie, who looks like his heart just shattered. I'm sure Emilie wants the same thing as me right now. To just cuddle with De and forget the others existed. Forget Thomas existed. Forget our roles even for a little bit.

"Of course.. Deceit." I hate that. I hate how I give in. But I want him to be comfortable, and we are going to go see his ex-friends and probably ex.

I summon yellow gloves that have a gel in them so they'll be soft against Deceit's scales. I help him get them on and he looks at them, satisfied.

"You ready to go?" I look at Emilie for confirmation. He nods and I grab both of their hands. I teleport us to the side complex and feel the familiar exhaustion that comes after teleporting.

"Remy? Picani? What are you two doing here? Who's this?" I let go of the others hands and slump my shoulder, trying to catch my breath. I hear a whimper from Deceit.

"So they really do remember me?" I raise my head and glare at Roman. Did he have to say that? I stand straight and look at Deceit, who's being hugged by Emilie.

"Don't worry, you just look a little different, is all! I'm sure they'll remember in time." I walk over to Roman and put my hand on his shoulder, making him look at me. He looks confused.

"You. Me. Kitchen. NOW." Roman glares at me, but follows me to the kitchen. In there we see Patton, eating a cookie. He'll probably be the one to break De. I gotta keep him out of Deceit's sight.

"Hey kiddo! Wha- hmph!?" I run to him and cover his mouth with my hand. I look back at the door and sigh. We're lucky Deceit didn't come running.

"Stay quiet. I have someone here and I need to tell you about him before you meet him." Patton nods and I let him go, moving to close the door.

"Summon Virgil and Logan." Roman summons them and they both look around, confused.

"What do you need? Make it quick, I have to get back to work." I glare at Logan and cross my arms. Maybe it'd be better if they just start over. And by that I mean I'm not gonna tell them Deceit's name.

"Do you guys want to learn of a new side?" Patton looks excited and Logan looks annoyed. I don't look at Virgil or Roman.

"A new side? Remy we get those all the time why is this any-" Logan tries to speak but gets interrupted.

"I'd love to!" Patton jumps up and down, overjoyed to hear of a new side.

"Ok well just know that at one point, you all knew this side very well. Patton more than the others."

"Me? But wouldn't I remember that?"

"That's what I thought. None of you seem to remember him. So here's a quick little tip: Patton, don't call him kiddo. Virgil, don't freak out. Roman, for the love of God do NOT treat him how you treated Virgil. Logan, don't try to debunk everything he says. He was... Cursed, to only speak in lies."

"Awww poor thing! What's his name?"

"Call him Deceit."

"Deceit! It's my pleasure to meet you... again" Roman shakes Deceit's hand and smiles. Deceit smiles back and I look at Emilie, seeing him talking with Patton.

"It is nice to make your acquaintance." I look back and see Logan talking with Deceit. I feel awful. De will have to face Patton. I don't know if he's stable enough.

Logan moves towards Roman and I watch De turn his head and look at Patton.

🐍Deceit's P.O.V🐍

There he is... The former love of my life.... and he doesn't remember me.

I feel tears well in my eyes. He looks over at me and smiles. God I've missed that smile..

"Hey Deceit! How are you?" I blink and shy away a little bit.
