The rest of the day flew by normally, actually.

All of the kids were currently in the living room, playing some board games, since Thomas had some. Apparently Logan was the one winning, too.

It was around 8 Pm, already, when Thomas came down from upstairs, seeing everyone, either on the couch or the ground, playing. He then looked at Dee, realising he was going to need to ask him one thing later.

He sighed, entering the living room, smiling softly. "Alright, guys, it's time to head to bed, okay?" Asked Thomas, looking down at them. Remus and Patton wanted to stay up, while everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Right, it would be best to head to bed." Logan commented. "Pfft, you're only saying that because you're winning." Virgil chuckled. "And if we stop now, no one can beat you, and you're sadly the official winner." 

Logan raised an eyebrow. "..Sadly? What do you mean by that, Virgil?" 

"Oh, nothing~" he chuckled again, getting off of the couch.

Patton sighed, a little upset that they had to go to sleep already. He stood up from the ground, starting to go upstairs. Shortly after, the twins did, as well, then Logan.

Virgil and Dee stayed for a bit to help Thomas clean up. He thanked them after that, letting the go upstairs, too.

Everyone was going to sleep in the same bedroom like always, meanwhile Dee still had to stay in the guest room, he wasn't sure why, though.

Dee waved goodnight to everyone, entering the room, and getting ready to head to rest for the night. He flopped on the bed, sighing happily. ("God, everyone is making me believe like this is a dream.. And I never want to wake up from it...") he thought to himself.

He was about to go to sleep, until he saw that the door was starting to open. He then saw Thomas, smiling softly as usual. The grown man walked up to him, and sat down at the edge of the bed. He opened his mouth for a second, then quickly looked away, which made Dee slightly confused.

"..S-So... Is this your last night here, Dee?" Thomas quietly asked, this made Dee quite shocked. 

"I- wh- T-Thomas.." He didn't want to go back to that abusive home at all. Just thinking about his parents made him shiver in fright.

"I mean, I think you're feeling a lot better.. And maybe you miss your parents...? I'm sure they miss you, too.." Thomas finally looked at him, trying to stay as calm as he could.

This made Dee tear up a little, some tears forming in his eyes, since he knew that everything he said was incorrect. He hugged Thomas tight. "I don't want to see them anymore!" Dee slightly yelled, making Thomas go in shock. The grown adult hugged him back, trying to calm him down.

"But.. why...?" Thomas asked, getting a bit worried.

"They- hurt me in diffrent ways.. Never let me make friends... I-If I came back now, they would kill me or something!" Dee started to sob a little.

"Oh dear..." Thomas said quietly, he never knew what Dee's parents even do to him.

"They don't- even ever call me by my real name. I-I don't even know what it is!" Some tears started to run down his cheeks, he wanted to stay with everyone so badly.

In the end, Thomas sighed, starting to think for a while. He gently stroked Dee's back, hoping it would calm him down somehow.

After minutes of silence, Thomas finally said something. "..So you want to stay here and live with us...?" He asked, getting a slow nod from Dee in return.

Thomas looked at the door after that. "..I'll see if they'll accept a new roommate..." he softly smiled, looking down at Dee again, noticing how he started to smile brightly, as well.

"You should go to sleep now, okay? We'll talk about it more in the morning.." He softly said, backing away from the hug, Dee nodded in return.

Thomas stood up, and walked up to the door, turning around one more time. "Goodnight, Dee.." He quietly said, smiling and waving to him, before leaving the bedroom.

Dee layed down, closing his eyes. ("I... I might actually finally live here.. With all of them.. Maybe... This isn't some kind of dream, after all...") He smiled, before falling asleep.
