Ship~ Toxic Moxiety and platonic Virus (Remus and Virgil)
Catagory~ Angst
Synopsis~ Virgil and Remus have always been close. They were close because they shared one problem. Patton treated them both horribly. He treated one as a toy and the other like a demon.

Virgil stumbled over to Remus' door. Remus opened it and caught the smaller side. He closed the entrance and locked it. Wouldn't want Patton seeing his "baby boy" with the "demon child" now would we?

Remus placed his best friend on the bed and went to grab the first aid kit from his bathroom. Virgil lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Thankful to whatever god existed that he had Remus.

"Evelyn."

He said as Remus walked back in.

"Evelyn."

Remus sat down on the bed next to Virgil as he continued.

"Why do I bother to stay?"

The anxious side asked as he tilted his head, wincing as he felt the punctures in his neck begin to bleed again.

"Why aren't you running away?"

Remus asked as he cleaned Virgil's wounds.

"Don't you feel like severing?"

He asked as he bandaged his friends neck.

"Everything's just come together at last."

The weak side responded as tears pricked the corners of his eyes.

Remus held out his hand to try and get Virgil to stand. Virgil couldn't. I mean how can you stand on a broken leg?

"It's broken."

Remus gasped as he lifted his friend into his arms.

Virgil shoved his face onto Remhs' shoulder.

"I don't want to play."

~In the past~

We grew up closer than most.
Closer than anything,
Closer than anything.

The two were the best of friends. They were always together. They were, how do you say? Thick as theives.

Shared our bed and wore the same clothes.

They exchanged outfits sometimes and confused the hell out of Janus. It was fucking hilarious.

Talked about everything,
Spoke about so many things.

They told each other everything. The good, the bad and the ugly.

"What shall we wear tonight?"

They went out to town every night. The town was where all the neutral sides lived. It was nice being away from the dark side for a little bit.

"What shall we eat today?"

Virgil had learnt early on that Remus was actually a pretty good cook. On the outside he's loud, disgusting and obnoxious but on the inside he's just a kid who never wants to grow up.

"Can we go ice skating?"
"But we just did that yesterday."

The anxious side was thrilled when he learnt how to ice skate and wanted to keep practising. Remus always went along because he wanted to protect his friend.

"Should we be firemen?"
"Can we be astronauts?"

They both loved dressing up and acting. It helped them express themselves.

"What if he finds us?"
"He's not looking anyway"

Virgil was always paranoid of Justice finding them in the town. He didn't like dark sides in the slightest. He thought they were the scum of the Earth. Rejects. Failures. You name it, he called them it.

"Fill my glass, let's drink a toast!"
"This is your birthday!"
"So why am I weeping?"

Virgil felt empty. He often cried and had developed slight depression over the years. Remus tried his best to help him.

"At your side, I feel like a ghost."

Remus was so outgoing whereas Virgil was introverted. He felt like a burden to Remus.

"I wake up first, and I stare at you sleeping."

Remus had nightmares of his friend leaving, so he would often be the first one to awake in the morning. He loved how peaceful Virgil looked so he would watch him until he fell back to sleep.

Then they met Patton. He was kind, caring and funny. Virgil instantly fell in love and he confided in his best friend.

"Do you think I should marry him?"

He asked out of the purple one day.
((tik tok reference anyone?))

"But we just met him yesterday."

Remus didn't trust Patton. It seemed too good to be true.

"Should we be movie stars?"
"Will we be millionaires?"

As they got older, they dreamed of bigger things. Of their futures.

"I want to be famous."

Remus always loved the spotlight. He wanted to be like his brother Roman. He wanted to make him proud.

"They're watching us anyway."

Virgil didn't like this idea as he thought it would drive them apart.

~present day~

"We grew up so very close."

The pair sang after Virgil explained what had happened.

"A parasite needs a host."

Remus was fuming when he heard what Patton took from his friend.

"WHY ARE YOU STAYING WITH HIM?!" he yelled. Virgil held up his hands.

"I'm only trying to do what is best for us!"

Patton was the reason he, Remus and Janus now lived in the light side's house. And why Roman and Remus could be brothers again.

"Well, I never asked for this, I never wanted this!"

Remus didn't mind living in the old house. He didn't mind that he would have to see Roman secretly. He didn't care. He came because he wanted Virgil to be happy. That's all he's ever wanted.

~a week later~

Patton was lecturing Virgil about not spending any time with him as they sat on the couch.

"All that I want is some time to myself!"

Virgil shouted as he glared at Patton. He never got any time alone other than after a punishment. Patton always wanted to do things with him. And he was getting so fucking tired of bending over backwards to meet his" lovers" demands.

"I'm coming home."

Remus ended the phone call with his brother as he walks down the road towards his house. He was coming back from a business trip and he couldn't wait to see his bestie again.

Patton growled as Virgil stood up and started backing away. Patton tried to grab the anxious side's arm but Virgil shook it off.

"Just get away from me!"
"Please just stop touching me!"

He screamed as he backed into a corner. Tears running down his face along with his make up.

"You're always trying to be with somebody else!"

Patton shouted as he pinned Virgil to the wall.

"Now I realize I'm alone."

Virgil felt like nobody was going to help him. Remus wasn't going to come back and help him.

Suddenly, Remus jumped onto Patton's back as he pulled him off the smaller male. Patton fell backwards onto the floor as the Intrusive side held his friend close. They were both hovering over him.

Remus' eyes were glowing a radioactive green while Virgil's burned a stark purple. Remhs' tentacles had broken through his shirt and hung menacingly behind him. Virgil's face had gained 6 new eyes as his spider legs protruded from his back, holding him slightly over the ground. Their voices came out distorted and sinister.

"W̸e҈l̸l҈ y̸o҈u̸'r҈e̸ o̸n҈l̸y҈ s̸c҈a̸r҈e̸d҈ o̸f҈ m̸e҈!"

Yes he was. Patton was scared that Remus would try and stop him from being with Virgil. That's why he tried to keep Virgil away from this.. this demon!

"ልn̶ዕ y̶ዐu̶ ክe̶ሀe̶ዪ ርa̶ዪe̶ዕ ቻo̶ዪ ጠo̶!"
((And you never cared for me!))

Right again. He didn't care for Virgil. He just needed someone to hurt. To let his anger out on.

"W̸h҈y̸ d̸o҈n̸'t҈ y̸o҈u̸ l̸e҈t̸ h̸i҈m̸ f̸r҈e̸e҈!?"

The two screamed in unison as their eyes glowed even more. It was terrifyingly manly.
((Kirishima is taking control.))

"'C̸a҈u̸s҈e̸ y̸o҈u̸ n̸e҈v̸e҈r̸ l̸i҈s̸t҈e̸n҈,"
"ሃo̶ሁ'r̶ቿ ልl̶ሠa̶ሃs̶ ጎn̶ነi̶ነt̶ጎn̶ኗ."
"ጋu̶ነt̶ ነt̶ዐp̶ ዪe̶ጠi̶ክi̶ነc̶ጎn̶ኗ!"
((You're always insisting.
Just stop reminiscing!))

Patton was trying to get back the control ha used to have over Virgil as a child. Before Janus took him under his wing.

"ጎ ቻe̶ቿl̶ ነo̶ጠe̶ፕh̶ጎn̶ኗ ጠi̶ነs̶ጎn̶ኗ."
((I feel something missing.))

Virgil grabbed Remus' hand as his eyes glowed slightly less. As soon as Remus gripped back however, the colour returned, glowing brighter than before. Its almost as if they helped power each other.

"I just want y̸o҈u̸ h̸e҈r̸e҈ w̸i҈t̸h҈ m̸e҈!/ጠy̶ የr̶ጎv̶ልc̶ሃ!"
((my privacy!))

Virgil screamed at Patton as Remus looked at Virgil, holding his hand tight.

He turned his attention to Patton.

"God c̸a҈n̸'t҈ w̸e҈ j̸u҈s̸t҈ g̸e҈t̸ a̸l҈o̸n҈g̸/ሠo̶ክ't̶ ሃo̶ሁ ረe̶ልv̶ቿ ጠe̶ ልl̶ዐn̶ቿ?"
((won't you leave me alone?))

The two screamed as Patton covered his ears. Remus and Virgil sunk out. The two cuddled close on Virgil's bed after locking the door.

The two fell asleep. Janus walked in and smiled. Using his two bottom left hands, he began packing Virgil's clothes into a suitcase while his two bottom right hands dragged and carried his and Remus' suitcases in.

When he had finished packing, he piled the suitcases up and walked over to his two boys. He shoot than awake.

"JJ?" they both asked. Janus nodded as he lifted the them up with ease. He snapped his fingers and suddenly, the light side's home shook violently. Janus opened the door to show that they were back at their old house. It felt good to be home and now, Virgil and Remus can be openly friends.

Heyo danger noodles!

Again sorry these are getting long. I know they are also terrible.

Also sorry for the angst but I can't really think of any fluffy ideas so if you have any ideas or prompts please message me on wattpad or let me know in the comments.

I'll do anything other than Romantic Remrom or smut. I will do suggestive. (e.g. Intimate makong out and slight foreplay but no actual smut)

I'm begging you to help me with ideas😭
You don't have to tho :)

Stay safe💜💛, stay great and stay proud🏳️‍🌈. Oh and don't forget to procrastinate.

Peace✌️
