Characters: Deceit, Virgil, Remus
Ship: queer-platonic Anxceitmus
Fic for @figurative-siren-song, who is going through hard times. I’ve never wrote anything that fast.
"Virgil? I'm home!" Deceit shouted as he was taking off his shoes.
Only a groan, coming from the couch, answered him.
"Mmm.. Bad day at the shop…"
Deceit sat down on the couch, next to his partner who was lying face-down on it, and started to rub soothing circles on his back.
"You wanna talk about it, dearest?"
"No, just wanna relax." Feeling Deceit stand up, Virgil took his arm and tried to make him come back on the couch. "Don't leave me…"
Deceit chuckled and left a kiss on Virgil's forehead. "Don't worry, my dear, I'm just gonna make some hot chocolate for you. I'll be back before you know it!"
As he got out the ingredients, he realized something was missing. Something, or someone. "Remus isn't here?"
"No he said he had to go to the shop after his shift. He's probably gonna come back soon."
"Well, I should prepare another cup then. We don't want him getting jealous and spilling it all over the couch like last time."
Just when he put down the mugs on the coffee table, the door opened, hitting the wall in a loud noise.
"I brought some juice!" Remus proclaimed, waving a jerrycan of gas. He then noticed the cups on the table and the smell of cocoa in the air, and let the jerrycan fall on the ground, running to the couch. "You made hot chocolate?"
"Hello, dearest. I'm feeling pretty good, how about you?"
"Sorry, sorry. Hey Dee-Dee, how are you? I'm fine. You made hot chocolate?"
"Yes, I did. Virgil had a rough day. I made you a cup too."
Immediately, Remus turned to his other partner and, seeing his tired face, threw himself on Virgil. "Cuddle time!"
Virgil giggled, making both Deceit and Remus smile. "I thought you wanted hot chocolate?"
"Yeah, but you're more important than hot chocolate."
"Wow, i'm moved! Ya hear that Dee? I'm more important than hot chocolate!" Virgil said, jokingly but with some sincerity.
"That's impressive, yes," Deceit smiled. "I'm all for cuddle time and making Virgil feel better, my darlings, but the chocolate is gonna cool down. After we drink it, we can move to the bedroom and cuddle as long as you want."
"Yeah! Hot chocolate and cuddles!" Remus said, delighted, making his partners laugh fondly.
That afternoon, when Virgil fell asleep, snuggled under his two partners, he was smiling softly.
