After Logan had gotten the hidden message in Deceits texts, he had notified Virgil. See, each of them has a different type of "power" that may or may not correspond to their trait.

Virgil being the one whom had dream power (well, it's more complicated than that), Logan had asked him to try and communicate with the snake boy in a dream. Thankfully, it worked.

"Deceit, can you hear me?" Logan asked softly as Virgil undid the chain from Deceits collar. Deceit barely opened his eyes and make an unintelligible sound. Logan frowned and grabbed a blanket to wrap the shivering Side in.

Virgil heard footsteps and his hands shook as he finally got the chain off. He grabbed some clothes for Deceit and Logan wrapped him up in the blanket. If this were under any other circumstance, Logan would've cooed at how Deceit instinctively curled into the warmth. He looked at Virgil for confirmation before the two sank out. 

They appeared in Logan's room, fortunately. Logan laid Deceit on the bed and dressed him in the warm clothes, making sure to be careful of the bruises and cuts amongst the boys body. Virgil gave Logan a first aid kit, then left because he couldn't stand seeing his old friend injured like that. Logan carefully bandaged Deceit's wounds, making sure he didn't hurt the poor boy more than he was already hurting.

Logan was in the middle of reading Grimm Brothers fairytales when he heard shifting on the bed. He put his book mark in before going over to the bed to check on Deceit. The snake boy opened his eyes a little, then shot up into a sitting position. He breathed rapidly and Logan could see him subtly holding his side in pain.

"Deceit," Logan spoke softly, approaching him slowly. "It's Logan. May I sit next to you?" He stood next to the bed, waiting for consent before sitting next to the scared snek. When Deceit looked up at him and nodded, murmuring a barely audible please, Logan sat down on the edge of the bed. 

Logan held his arms out in invitation for a hug, to which Deceit hesitantly accepted. The hug was an awkward one at first but Logan got the hang of it and eventually it became comforting. Logan gently rubbed Deceits back, humming a soft tune to calm the boy down. 

"S-sssorry..." Deceit apologized quietly. He nuzzled the logical nerd, feeling safe in his arms. Logan smiled ever so faintly and shook his head. 

"Don't apologize for something you couldn't control. You're safe now, De, and I will make sure you stay safe. Would you like me to 'cuddle' as most people call it?" Logan shifted so that he was laying against the headboard of the bed. Deceit nodded and stayed in Logan's arms, feeling sleepy again. "I'll watch over you as you sleep."

I shall talk to Remy later after Deceit heals a little more.. Logan thought to himself.
