Whoop turned a one-shot into a multi, I can’t just leave my main prince on a sad ending! 

Warnings: Unsymp!Roman, strong language, arguing, threatens of violence, ah that’s it for this one

“Patton what did you do?” Virgil asks again, the moral side runs his hands through his hair, he closes his eyes tight. 

“I-I told you I don’t know! I just… H-He was going to attack Janus and me, I-I panicked!” 

Logan and Virgil share a look while Remus paces the living room, gnawing at his already ruined thumb nail, getting flecks of toxic green nail polish on his tongue. His pacing stops when Janus speaks up. 

“Do keep giving Patton the third degree, Virgil, it’s so going to help him calm down quicker.” 

“What about my brother? Sure, daddy-o here is losing his shit too, but what about Roman?” Remus more or less demands, he knows that he’s not really his big brother’s favorite person, but he couldn’t just let them push Roman aside, not now. 

The others stay quiet, save for Patton’s pitiful sniffling. Remus frowns and crosses his arms over his chest. 

“Fine, you don’t want to talk about him right now, fine. Let’s talk about how he was treated during the video, hm?” 

“Remus, now is not the time to talk about this. We need to all just calm down, and think rationally about this. Once we’ve come up with a reasonable plan then we’ll focus on helping Roman.” 

Remus narrows his green eyes at Janus, gritting his teeth in anger. 

“No, no damn it! Fuck that! Even… Even after my brother breaking down you-you assholes still don’t care. And Jay don’t think I don’t know what you said to him, now, I know you had every right to, because I am pissed off at him for laughing at your name, but you both were in the fucking wrong.” 

Janus sighs as he drags a gloved hand down his face, ‘Why does there have to be two dramatic royals?’ 

“I know what I said was too far. I’m sure he knew that making fun of my name was too far as well, we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Now, drop it.” 

Remus stares at Janus for the longest time, the silence stretching over the common room like a blanket of dread. He watches as Janus helps Patton calm down, watches as Virgil and Logan join in, offering gentle reassurances. 

“So, I should just drop that my best friend called me evil right? The hypocritical prick that says black and white is just made up nonsense brought on by society, calls me evil, when he looks like a snake.” 

Remus watches as Janus’ shoulders grow tense, he lets out a bitter laugh. “Yeah, bet you thought I didn’t hear that part, Jan. Whatever… I’m going to find my brother, you four have fun focusing on the real bad guy.” 

Remus sinks out without another word, Janus breathes deeply through his nose and lets it out through his mouth. 

“They’re more alike than they like to believe… They’ll both calm down once Remus finds Roman and once they do, we’ll all talk.” 

“Why do I feel like that’s a lie…” Virgil says. 

‘Cause I’m hoping it’ll come true…’ 

Remus rushes through the subconscious, he always hated how cold this place was, always hated the neverending silence that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. Sure this was where he and the other’s stayed at, but they were never this far into the subconscious. Remus would have to apologize later for what he said, he could care less about being called evil, he got over it a long time ago when Patton first referred to him as the dreaded e-word.

“I couldn’t give to shakes of a rats ass if I’m called evil, it’s just a fucking word, but to call Roman that when Jay knows that’s one of his biggest fears? Dick move, or well hemipenis move cause he’s a snake.” 

‘But Roman did make fun of Jay’s name! He had every right to clap back!’ 

“Of course he did, like I told JJ, I’m angry at both of them. Once, I find Ro-Ro I’m going to calm him down then give him a piece of my mind, because that’s what brothers do.”

‘That’s what brothers who like each other do.’ 

Remus stops walking when he sees a dulling red door up ahead, a split golden crown painted on the once vibrant door. 

“He’ll have to like me because right now I’m the only one he’s fucking got.” 

Remus huffs when his thoughts quiet down for once, he stops in front of the door and raises his hand to knock. His eyes widen when the point of his brother’s sword is right in his face, almost kissing his nose. 

“What the hell do you want?”

Warnings: Unsymp!Roman, strong language, arguing, threatens of violence, blood mentioned, intrusive thoughts mentioned, mild gore, THIS IS NOT UNSYMP!REMUS- so- please don’t spam my inbox asking to tag unsymp!Remus because it’s /not/-

-----------------

“What the hell do you want?” Roman hisses, his hand trembling as he glares hatefully at his brother. Remus raises his hands up and offers him a small smile. 

“Calm down, Ro-Bro. I’m just here to check on you, help you calm down.” 

Roman purses his lips as he and Remus have a silent stare off, Roman sighs and lowers his sword when Remus’ smile only broadens. The princely side tosses his sword to the side, he forces a smile as he steps aside allowing his brother entrance. 

“Well, why don’t you come in, Lord of the flies? Seems like you’ll be my only visitor since Morality sent me where the bad sides go.” 

Remus rolls his eyes and steps into his brother’s room, wincing slightly when Roman slams the door behind them. Remus looks around, Roman’s once clean room was a mess. All the mirrors in his room were broken, along with all the glass bottles that held the elegant perfume and colognes that Roman would wear. Shredded ideas and stories were mixed with the glass, Remus glances over to his brother when Roman begins to pace the room, the broken glass crunching on his boots. 

“I know, I’m probably the last person you want to see, right now, Roman, and I know we never really got along, but I want you to know that I care about you and I’m worried.” 

Roman stops his pacing, he looks at Remus and snorts in amusement, “You’re worried? You hit me with your morning star the last time we saw each other.” 

Remus sighs and takes a seat on his brother’s bed, he crosses his right leg of his left, resting his elbow on top while holding his hand up with his fist. 

“And you’ve stabbed me with your sword, we don’t exactly play gentle Ro-Ro. But yes, I’m worried because the so-called father figure did what he does best, and that was ruin everything he touches.” 

Remus doesn’t so much as blink when Roman points his sword again, his brother’s eyes shining a bright and burning red as he glares at Remus. 

“D-Don’t- You can’t- Y-You can’t blame Patton! Not… He’s just sick right now, i-its your slimy friend that’s ruining everything.” 

Remus breathes deeply before jerking the sword away from Roman, ignoring how the blade slices his palm open. 

“Listen to me, Roman. Jay isn’t to blame, he’s not the one that taught you ever since we… ever since we were split, that life was black and white. Janus isn’t the one that leads you astray, he’s not the one that builds you up to be the hero. Patton did. He separated us when Thomas learned that there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ types of creativity, he did it, but he was wrong.” 

Remus watches as tears stream down his brother’s face, Roman lowers his head and chokes back a sob. 

“W-Well, Janus i-isn’t innocent either. He m-manipulated me, multiple times. F-Fed me compliments knowing of my insecurities, y-you know I thought he was my friend! B-But then Virgil and P-Patton kept saying he was bad, a-and said it was...w-was wrong to agree with him. T-Then Patton does!! A-And after what!? Him saying s-shit that I’ve been saying for the longest time!? I-It’s… I-its not fair!” 

Remus winces when his brother screams, he opens his mouth to say something only to be cut off by Roman breathing a wild chuckle. 

“T-That’s not even all! Ya k-know a part of me, believed that Janus a-actually meant all of the praises he gave me while in the courtroom. I-I thought for once in my life someone meant the kind words they said! B-But you know what he says when I tell Patton to not believe what he says? ‘That would be a funny wholesome prank, but no I mean it this time.’ H-He meant it that time Ree!! S-So all the things he told me… was nothing but a f-funny...wholesome...prank…” 

Roman takes a shuddering breath as he drags his hands through his messy hair, he grips his hair tight lightly pulling at it. 

“A-A wholesome prank!! S-So I made fun of his name! It… It was wrong, I know it was wrong, b-but he… h-he took it further, he played on my insecurities, I played on his trust he played on my insecurities, but… They… They didn’t scold him. They didn’t s-scold him for… f-for calling me you. They took his side… I-I’m supposed to be Thomas’ hero… but they took his side…” 

Remus watches as his brother tries to keep himself calm, he stands up from the bed and slowly makes his way over to Roman. He gently places his hands on Roman’s shoulders, forcing the princely side to look up. 

“Roman… You are his hero… I’ll admit what Jay said was going too far… but what you said wasn’t nice either. He wants to apologize… and I know you do too, so… let’s go back to the mind palace and we’ll all work this out okay?” 

Roman sniffles and stares at his brother, “..Patton s-sent me here… Instead of just locking the door h-he sent me here… There’s nothing to work out…” 

Remus hesitates for a moment before sighing, “There is… Come on Ro… You know I don’t lie…” 

Roman gives his brother a small smile before placing his thumb on Remus’ forehead. The duke gasps and drops to his knees, images of Janus covered in blood and poked full of stab wounds flood through his mind, the image changes to Patton having his throat slit, the images flash, back and forth until Roman waves his hand causing the images to disappear as quickly as they came. Remus looks up at his brother with wide eyes. 

“Maybe I am the evil twin… Intrusive thoughts are a bitch, right, Ree?” 

Remus opens his mouth to argue that he can help, only to have Roman hold a finger to his mouth. 

“I’m not going back, not until I rid Thomas of the true evil. You can join me or you can turn your back on me like they did, your choice little brother.” 

Remus stares at up at Roman, his jaw clenched almost painfully. ‘I need to help him… but I can’t do that if he thinks I’m on their side.’ 

Remus breathes deeply through his nose and allows and easy-going smirk to form on his face. 

“Brothers stick together, you know that Ro-Ro.” 

----------

A/N: Again this is not Remus being unsympathetic- he’s not going to be unsympathetic- he is just trying to help his brother-
