They said to help Patton. This shall be enjoyable...

TW: Major character death, abuse, torture, probably more, the happy ending is pretty sh*tty. Let me know if I missed any.

*Deceit's P.O.V.*

I was sitting in my room, just like usual. Although, I should probably explain to you what happened right after Morality "Died"

*Flashback brought to you by Anxiety's love for MCR*

I ran out of Morality's room, tears pouring down my face. I did it, I did what I never thought I would... I killed someone. Not just anyone, Patton. Thomas's happiness, and his morality, and probably even more.

Roman was in Morality's room, trying to fix the mess I made, it's not fair, this is all Depression's fault, not mine. I knew what I did was wrong, I didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway, to protect Thomas.

I bumped into Logan on his way to Patton's room, he was curious to see what was going on, he stopped me and asked me what was going on.

"Go see for yourself, I can't explain it right now..."

"Okay." That was all he said.

I made it to my room. I broke down in tears, and cried silently for a while.

Then Depression walked in.

"Hey there Deceit... "

"Wh-what do you want, Depression?"

"Straight to the point, your not going to say hello to your best, and only, friend?"

"Sorry Sir, Hello..."

"Since you want to get in it right away, today I wanted to talk about what happened today."

"N-no please Sir, can we talk about that some other time?"

"But I want to talk about it now. So we're going to talk about it now."

"Y-yes si-sir."

"Okay, so assessing your performance, you got the deed done, and someone knew it was you, but you attempted to tell him, I convinced you to kill him."

"S-sir, please, I just didn't want him to hate me." I started crying harder. I knew what was coming...

"At least he didn't believe you, otherwise your punishment would be worse, way worse."

"S-sir, I'm sorry. I, I did what you asked though!"

"That is not enough!" I flinched, I flinched hard. "You should know, I don't like being blamed, for anything."

"Yes Sir."

"You know what happens next, right?" He said, pulling out his knife.

"Yes Sir."

*Roman's P.O.V.*

I tried CPR, the breathing mask, the AED, everything. Patton woke up once, before dying again.

"Deceit, he, it wasn't, De's fault." he said. Which De is innocent? Depression, or Deceit?

I couldn't do this, both the others knew, I was losing time. Logan was watching Thomas, Anxiety was panicking, and I was trying to pull Patton together. I was really trying.

*Deceit's P.O.V.*

After Depression stopped bothering me, I got out of my room because he has the most control over me while I'm in my room. I went to get a glass of water because my throat hurt from trying to keep myself under control while screaming because Depression wouldn't stop hurting me, it was probably a bad idea to go out of the the hallway I have that's separate from the rest of the normal sides, but I had to get a glass of water, the cuts and bruises I had from Depression were hidden, he never let them show, today wasn't an exception. 

I got myself a snack as well.

That's when Virgil walked in.

Right after he saw me he gasped, then he froze, and then said "Why?"

"Wh-what?" I knew what he was talking about, but I didn't want to talk about that right now, especially after "talking" to Depression about it.

"Why would you kill Patton?" He was backing away, just like I do when Depression walks into the room.

"I didn't want to, but Depre-"

"I know that you lied, Deceit, you are the embodiment of lies after all! I can't believe I ever looked up to you!"

"I didn't lie, I swear!"

"So how are you going to prove it?"

I raised my shirt a little bit to show some of the scars I had on my side.

"So, that doesn't prove anything." He said, raising his arm to show scars on his arm.

"Wh-what is that from?"

"My knife..." He seemed scared, or terrified, of me finding out. I felt really bad...

"Was that from what I did?"

"I mean, yes, and no..."

He seemed unwilling to talk to me, like I was a murderer.

He's probably right not to trust me, I'd hand over information to Depression in a heartbeat...

"I-I'm sorry...."

"I don't believe you." Virgil started to walk away.

"Virgil, wait!" He stopped, I took a deep breath.

"If you don't believe me, would you believe Depression?"

"Yeah, probably..." He seemed unsure.

"I could get him to talk to you."

"Bring him here, and maybe I'll listen."

"Promise if he askes you to do something, you'll listen. He can make it very difficult for you if you don't..."

"I promise if it's something simple, I won't jump off a bridge for him."

"Thank you." I said, smiling for the first time since this started.

I started to walk to Depression's room.

*Time skip brought to you by Patton, just Patton*

I knocked on Depression's door.

"Come in!" He called, I entered "Ah, Deceit, this better be important, you know what I can do."

"I am very sorry to bother you Sir, but I..."

"You what?"

"I told Virgil what was going on and he didn't believe me, so I asked him if I asked you to talk to him about it, if he would believe me, so here I am, asking you for your permition..."

"I swear, Deceit. I might kill you." Dep

P-please don't Sir."

"Will he tell anyone else? Or do as I say?"

"H-he won't tell anyone else, an-and I th-think he'll follow your orders, un-unless you tell him to jump off a bridge."

"Okay, bring him here."

"Please don't hurt him... "

"Oh, I won't hurt him, unless you're bad... "

"Yes Sir."

So I got Virgil, because I no longer had a choice.

Depression made him swear not to tell the others, and when Virgil did, Depression explained everything.

"Oh, I'm sorry for not believeing you Deceit... " He seemed upset with himself for not believing me.

"It's okay, I wouldn't have believed myself."

"So, anyway, Deceit, your punishment."

So that's how it went, whenever I did something bad, he hurt Virgil, and since Virgil was in the same hallway as us, it became extremely difficult for him to escape.

About a month after Morality's death, Virgil was dragged into the mess, Thomas was a mess.

You see, right before this whole ordeal, his boyfriend broke up with him, he wasn't happy about that. And this didn't help. It wasn't his fault his boyfriend was a dick, the only reason he broke up with Thomas was because he couldn't deal with his anxiety, which caused Thomas to worry his little butt off. For a while Morality was okay, and able to help him, but then I stepped in, and Morality was still able to help, until his last day.

A quick review about what happened in the year after Morality died (because I want to write a book with this) we managed to lock Depression up, explained what happened to Princey and Logan, and Morality came back.

This was shit. Oh well, I did it, and they got a happy ending, and this is the reason you can now request self-harm....

Leave requests here!
