[Originally made this mood board for an RP of a different character but this also fits Deceit–]

Deceit laid on the ground, shivering from the lack of warmth. Remy had taken his heating lamps away as punishment, so he was trying his best to not fall unconscious from possible hypothermia.

Stupid snake traits, he thought to himself as he reached for his phone. He was thankful Remy hadn't taken it away from him. His eyes lit up as he saw a message from Logan.

(Ignore the typo.)

Deceit sighed and put his phone down. He knew he couldn't sleep. Hell, he couldn't shut his eyes without feeling Remy's hands keenly touching him. He hated it. He hated it all.

Before he knew it, tears started rolling down his cheeks. He covered his mouth so he wouldn't make a sound as he sobbed.

Eventually falling into a restless sleep.

Deceit looked around the spooky forest, hoping that something would come out and kill him. As he walked along the trail of dead leaves, the voices reminding him of everything he's done wrong. He didn't notice where he was walking, nor did he really care. 

"Deceit?"

The voice startled him, causing him to jump. He turned around and saw Virgil standing there, a confused look on his face. Deceit bit his lip, unsure if this was a sick joke. "V-Virgil..?" He asked, his voice cracking and shaky. 

Virgil got closer to him, causing the poor man to flinch away. A concerned looked crossed Virgil's face as he looked at Deceit. He took his beloved jacket off and draped it over him. "You're freezing. And scared.." He stated like facts. "What happened to you, De..?"

"I.." Deceit started shaking more. Virgil wrapped his arms around the sad boy. Deceit leaned into his arms as he started sobbing. "I-I hurts s-so much.. I-I don't know i-if I can't keep g-going on like this.." That sent red alarms off in Virgil. He held the baby snek closer to him. 

"Can you tell what's going on..?" Virgil asked softly. He wanted to help Deceit the best he could. Deceit just sobbed harder.

"R-Remy is h-hurting me b-but I'm sc-sca-scared t-to le-leave him.." Deceit choked out. He could feel Virgil beginning to fade away from him. 

"Logan and I will save you, Pops, I promise.." Virgil gave the snake a kiss on the forehead before vanishing. 

Deceit woke up to the clinking of a chain. His vision was blurred with sleep but he was able to distinctly make out the colors black and purple.
