[So uh.. I've got a lot of family stuff going on so if any updates come in late, that's why. Also, my phone is broken because of my stepdad being the fucking asshole he is, so my mom is trying to get me a new one before my whole screen becomes glitched blue.]

Logan woke up from a dreamless slumber and it took a moment for him to remember where he was. He slipped his glasses on and sat up in bed. Looking at the alarm clock on his nightstand he saw that it was 3:33am.

With a yawn, Logan left his room to go get a glass of water. He quietly made his way down the stairs and towards the kitchen. The light was on when he arrived and he saw a shaking Deceit trying to get a cup of water.

"Need some help Deceit?" Logan asked softly as he walked over to him. Deceit jumped and turned around quickly, pressing himself against the counters.

"N-no thanks.." Deceit nodded a little. He kept away from Logan as Logan grabbed two cups; one for Deceit and one for himself. The snake like man watched as Logan filled the cups up with water from the fridge.

Logan handed him one of the cups with a small smile and watched as Deceit carefully took one, his hands shaking badly. "Why don't we go sit on the couch and enjoy each others company for a while? I'm sure that can get your mind off of whatever spooked you."

Deceit nodded and hesitantly took Logan's outstretched hand. The nerd guided him to the living room and the two sat on the couch. Logan noticed how Deceit sat away from him tensed up.

"Are you alright?" Logan asked softly. Deceit looked at him with teary eyes and a hand over his mouth. The snake Side shook his head quickly as his body trembled.

Logan did the only thing he could think of; he moved a bit closer to Deceit and slowly wrapped his arms around him to give Deceit time to move away if he desired. Instead, Deceit launched himself into Logan's arms and wrapped his own around the nerds neck as he buried his face in the crook of Logan's neck. Logan rubbed Deceits back, not at all bothered by the fact that Deceit was getting tears on him.

"It's alright De, everything will be alright.." Logan said calmly. Deceit tightened the hug as he tried to suppress his crying.

"Ev-everything h-hurts.." Deceit replied, his voice weak and quiet as he stuttered. "M-make it st-stop.."

Logan, despite his claim of having no emotions, could feel his chest grow heavy and his heart ache. He would have to ask Patton about that later.

"Could you tell me what happened so I can help you..?" Logan asked. Deceit nodded and shifted so he was curled up in Logan's lap like a child who needed comfort from his mother.

"I-It started a while ago.."
