Alternate Title: "And They Were Roomates"

"Your father wants to speak to you." one of father's workers, probably Matt or Kevin, said from the other side of my bedroom door.

"I'll be there in a minute" I said after getting up from my desk. I was doing homework but that's not important. School doesn't test your knowledge, it tests your memory and will not to slap a bitch. Father will probably just take me under his wing anyway. I checked the time 5:47, father's usually at a meeting during this time- wait.

I walked through the door into father's office to see Remy sitting at his desk and the two people from last time, critic and Camden. Poor Camden still looks like he doesn't wanna be here. "Virgil, please sit down. I suspect you already know what this is about." Father smiled. I nodded and moved to sit in the chair next to Remy. "Bring him in" Camden sighed and left the office.

"What's this about?" My brother asked.

"I told you a week ago Rem. Father got us a guard" Father nodded at my statement and turned to the critic dude.

"You're sure this guy is trustable? And he'll fit right in at this school?" Father asked.

"Yep. Although he is....something, I can say that he is better than who Camden suggested. He does have a few mental health problems and a physical health issue." He explained. Just then Camden came back in followed by a boy about my age. He was wearing a black shirt under a yellow jacket, black jeans, yellow converse, and a black beanie. But what really stood out about him wasn't the bumblebee coloring, it was his face. He had heterochromia. One brown, one yellow eye. Apart from that half of his face looked a bit burnt. "This is Demetrius."

"Alright, you're both probably wondering why you would even need a bodyguard. Well..." he seemed to think for a moment before continuing what he was saying, "the three of you will be staying in a house closer to the school instead of here...So if the police decide to go to you boys, you wont be staying with me and you'll have Demetrius to protect you." He didn't seem very confident in what he was saying but it made sense I guess. "Now, you guys have school on Monday. I suggest you pack so you can go to this house with Demetrius." He dismissed us and I walked with Remy out of the office.

"This is dumb. This guy is obviously younger than me and we don't even need someone to watch us." Remy complained.

"What else did you expect? It's father"

"True."

{Sunday}

"VIRGIL GET OFF THE FRIDGE! WE'VE BEEN HERE TWO DAYS AND YOU'VE CRAWLED UP THERE SIXTEEN TIMES!" Dee yelled at me.

"You kept track of how many times I've gone up here?" I laughed.

"Shut the hell up and get down"

Dee is cool I guess. When we first got here he let us claim our own bedrooms and decided that he would be the only one allowed to use the stove and oven....yea long story. I found out he's a year younger than me and he is a bit shorter than me. It's nice to know I can't be called the shortest in the house anymore. Sometimes he gets some phone calls and he sneaks away to his room but, strangely enough, I'm not worried about it.

"What time is it?" I asked

"It is da sleepy time so you gotta take your pills." All three of us have insomnia so he found these gross ass pills for us to take. I like the gummy stuff a lot more.

"REMINGTON DORMIR NAPOLEAN SOMMEIL VANTA GET YO ASS DOWN HERE!" I called.

"Wait his full name is Remy Sleep Napolean Sleep Vanta?" Dee laughed.

"What?"

"Dormir is sleep in spanish and sommeil means sleep in french" he explained, "kinda ironic that he's an insomniac."

"Wassup fuckers!" Remy yelled as he came into the kitchen.

"Why do you have my phone?" I asked pointing to the phone that was clearly mine in his hand.

"Fuck you that's why!"

"Both of you shut the fuck up and take the pills. Remy no taking them dry. Virgil no you cannot have the gummy ones, it's these or you're grounded." He explained.

"I'M A BAD BITCH THESE PILLS CAN'T KILL ME!" Remy screamed.

"I'm older than you why do you get to ground me?" I asked.

"Because I'm in charge" shit he right.

{time skip}

I woke up to some shuffling outside me door. I opened my eyes and saw...

the door. it's not open so I can't really see anything.

I get up and listen for anything suspicious but all I heard was humming. I opened the door a bit and watch Dee pacing up and down the hallway. His phone started ringing and made him jump a bit.

"Hey, Willow, how you doing?" He asked after answering. Willow? Who're they? "I was not pacing. I was...just scrolling through tumblr." Liar. There was silence from him for awhile, probably the other person talking, before he finally said something. "Soulmates? What about them? Have you met yours?" His face seemed to darken a bit before he smiled, "That's great. I hope I get to meet this Olive soon. I-I gotta go. Later." He hung up and slid down the wall he was leaning on so he was sitting on the floor.

I decided I should come out of hiding. I walked over to him, probably looking drunk because I'm still tired. "You okay?"

"How much of that did you hear?" He didn't answer my question.

"I saw you pacing a few minutes ago. Who was that?"

"Someone. Leave me alone." He tried pushing me away but didn't get very far before giving up.

"You must be really close to them if you're having this reaction to them finding their soulmate. You okay?" I attempted asking the question again but instead of answering it he just stood up and started walking down the hall.

"I'm going for a walk" He called after grabbing his keys.

"But you're still in you pajama- and he's gone." I sighed and walked back to my room.

{Morning}

"GET YO ASSES UP I'M MAKING EGGS AND TOAST!" Why are people always waking me up so rOoD. I sighed and started rolling out of my bed, falling on the floor with my blanket. I tried rolling to my door but gave up after two seconds.

"HELP! I'M TRAPPED IN MY COCOON OF LOVE!" Dee walked into my room and helped me out of my blanket.

"Come on. I made food and someone's gonna face-time me in a bit." What's with him suddenly being the happiest person on earth?

"Is this the person I caught you talking to last night?" I asked as we walked to the dining room.

"Maybe. You wanna meet her?" I nodded and sat next to Remy and started eating the toast on my plate.

Breakfast was over and Dee's phone began to ring. He held it out in front of us and answered. "Demetrius Dolion, I missed seeing your half burnt face." The person had pale skin and a lot of freckles brought out her dark blue eyes.. They had their hair cut in a bob cut with the ends dyed a bright cyan. They spotted me and Remy and seemed to curl in on themselves a bit before Dee started speaking.

"Willow, this is Remy and Virgil, the people I'm 'guarding'. Guys, this is Willow, she/her pronouns." He explained. I gave her a two-finger salute as he started talking again, "so who's this soulmate of yours?"

"Her name's Olive. She's super pretty and goes to the same college as me. I'm walking to the place we're s'pose to meeting at now. I'm really nervous."

"My neighbors name is Olive" he mumbled, "It'll be fine. Speaking of soulmates, I met mine last night."

"You did?" Willow, Remy, and I all asked. He blushed a bit, probably more at the sudden attention, and seemed to be looking for a way to change the subject.

"Hey! Look at the time! We really outta be heading to school. Love ya Wil, later!" He hung up, stood up, and started walking to the door. "Yo! I can't 'legally' drive yet so one of you have to drive us to school." I looked at Remy, since he had his learners permit.

"UUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fine babes" He grabbed the keys to the car father had left us with and strutted out the door in his three inch heels. How is he going to drive with those things on.

{Time skip brought by Remus not being allowed to read these chapters and road work ahead?}

"DEMETRIUS DOLION GET BACK HERE WITH MY JACKET!!" I screamed as I chased him down the halls.

"NOT ON MY SOULMATES DEAD BODY!" He screamed as he turned down another hallway. I don't even fucking know his soulmate. I turned down the hall to see him falling down with, ugh him, Roman in front of him. I ran down the hall and grabbed my jacket."I'll take that." I looked up at my soulmate and awkwardly said "Thanks for being in the way...Roman."

"I'll take that as a compliment"

"Don't think too far into it, I still don't wanna deal with you."

"Progress is progress" He smiled.

"Progress?" I questioned.

"You're actually talking to me." I let out a small chuckle and slid my coat back on. I looked down at Dee and held out my hand to help him up. Dee brushed himself off and looked at Roman.

"Who's this? Do I need to kill him?" he asked. Before I could respond someone came and jumped up and down in front of the three of us.

"I heard screaming!" he yelled. Then, out of no where, he screeched almost as demonic as Remy without starbucks. The three of us looked at him as he started laughing maniacally. "I had you all momentarily distracted. Wait who dis? New kid?" He looked at Dee and started walking around him, looking him up and down.

"Robert, Robert Squarepants. My friends call me Bob" Dee responded. Omfg this boi.

"Stop telling people you're Spongebob" I hit the back of his head.

"You wanna be grounded?" He threatened...again.

"Grounded? You guys cousins or some shit?" the green one asked. I really need to learn this ones name.

"Yea, cousins" Dee responded quickly.

"So what's your real name?" The annoyingly princely person asked.

"You didn't hear me screaming his name? The green one sure did" I laughed.

"Demetrius...." the green one started zoning out while mumbling his name. Fuck this shit, I'm out. Dee said something to them before walking with me back to our lockers.
