hey its your fave bastard can i get some uuuhhhhhhhhh remus angst with touch-starved remus and a side of u!virgil? perhaps unrequited intrulogical for spice if you dont mind thanks luv ya /p
Oh hell yes. I love this prompt
-Remus has never really gotten a lot of touch. Janus gets overwhelmed pretty easily by physical contact, so apart from the occasional hug he tends to stay away from it
-So whenever Remus wanted any kind of cuddling or physical affection, he would always go to Virgil for it. And Virgil would always say yes. For a price
-He would give Remus what he asked for but only if he did something for Virgil first. Sometimes it was harmless stuff. Doing all his chores for a week or getting him a new hoodie. Sometimes it was worse. Not speaking for a week or destroying something he'd made that Virgil didn't like
-But Remus didn't care. He was getting the affection he wanted and that was all that mattered
-And then Virgil left. And Janus tried to help but physical affection still made him uncomfortable so Remus had to manage on his own. And it hurt, especially at first but after a while he got used to the lack of contact
-And then Thomas learned about Janus and later him and Remus was thrilled. The light sides still didn't like them, but at least he was seeing Virgil again and maybe he could be persuaded to touch him again
-Except Virgil refused. Remus was too disgusting, too wrong and Virgil didn't want anything to do with him anymore. Remus begged Virgil, promising to do anything he wanted but Virgil refused
-So Remus resigned himself to simply never being touched again, no matter how much it hurt. Until a few months later, when he was following Logan around, bothering him with different facts, and the other accidentally brushed against him
-Remus broke off immediately, just staring at Logan. After a few seconds, he softly asked Logan if he could maybe touch Remus again. And Logan seemed hesitant but he did it. And Remus nearly started crying right then and there
-From then on, he slowly started going to Logan whenever he wanted some kind of affection. The logical side didn't seem particularly interested in physical touch, but he didn't mind helping Remus. And even better, he never demanded anything of Remus, unlike the way Virgil had
-It didn't take Remus long to develop a crush on him, but Logan didn't feel the same way. He was slowly starting to consider Remus a friend but he didn't have any romantic feelings for him
-Which was fine. It hurt, but Remus could live with it. Until Virgil found out. He offered him help. Maybe if Remus listened to him, he could become better. Become the kind of person Logan might actually like back
-But all Virgil really does is force Remus to start isolating himself again. I'm not sure how to end this, but it's up to you whenever or not the others notice and decide to save Remus
@trash-bastard I'm not sure if this is quite what you wanted but here you go
