Shadowed Stars
He’d heard the news.... One of them.... Accepted... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING!?
He was so... frustrated? angry? No- TERRIFIED! One of them? What part of his warnings hadn’t they listened to? That this guy was a SNAKE...LITERALLY! A liar, a fraud, a disguising fiend! He was lying to them! Earning their trust and playing them for fools! How were they just.. just letting this happen!?
Virgil was currently chewing on the cuff of his sleeve, sat on the sofa in the living room and staring into space. Thomas was off in the kitchen cooking something from Hello Fresh, and trying not to think about all the anxious things Virgil was throwing around right now. He felt tense, jittery, jumpy, but most of all Virgil felt...betrayed.
How could they accept Deceit? How? Remus had given HIS name and wasn’t accepted- was he? ...... WAS HE!? SHIT! Wait- HAD Remus been accepted? Just like that? He couldn’t tell. did that mean Deceit wasn’t accepted? No- No he could feel it, he had so- So that just... That just left HIM..... they absolutely could NOT accept HIM. Orange was a horrible color anyway...
He took a long slow breath, counted to 17, played with the fidget cube he kept in his pocket, looked over at Thomas and when Thomas glanced back they both took another deep breath. “You good?” Virgil nodded and Thomas went back to cooking. No.. No he wasn’t good and there was no hiding it from Thomas. With a swipe up of his hand, and a polite call of his name, Thomas asked for Logan to come join them
