Sing|Day 6 of Deceitmber
From this
Notes: I thought about a happy ending...if you guys ask for it, maybe I'll write it.
Ships: Familial Anxceit, platonic Dukeceit (briefly mentioned)
"Sing to me," Anxiety said as he flapped his hoodie sleeves, plopping down on Deceit's bed across from the older side.
"Of course." Deceit smiled and Anxiety laid down, his head on the other's lap. He was only 7 at the time, while Deceit was 18.
-
Anxiety sighed heavily, knocking on Deceit's door.
"Dee?"
"Definitely don't come in." Anxiety smiled slightly, but it faded quickly. He opened the door, stepping inside and shutting it behind him. Deceit lounged in his bed in silk pajamas, black with yellow trim. "What can I-"
"Sing to me?" Anxiety blurted, his cheeks going red when he realized he interrupted Deceit. The 16 year old toed at the floor, glancing away.
Deceit cocked his head, smiling softly.
"Of course, Anx."
-
"Dee," Anxiety clung to Deceit, suddenly feeling small despite being an adult, "Dee, they- they hate me- I-"
"Anx," Deceit ran his hand through Anxiety's hair like he had a million times before, soft and understanding and everything he needed right now, "calm down. Maybe they do, but I don't. Remus doesn't either. Alright?"
"...alright," Anxiety agreed, taking a deep breath, "sing to me?" Deceit smiled, blissfully unaware of the fact that this would be the last time he'd be asked to do this.
"Of course."
-
Deceit fixed his hat, bracing himself before stepping into the room.
"Hello Anxiety."
"Virgil, actually."
Oh.
"Ah. You told them your name before me?" He asked, a bit of his hurt seeping into his tone.
"Duh." Virgil looked annoyed with him- no, more than that. He looked angry, like he wanted him gone. Deceit knew their fight was bad, and that he'd...left them, but... "Do you want something or could you do me a favor and leave?"
Deceit blinked, heart aching.
"...of course."
