Chapter Text
Lies. That's what Dorian knew. He knew how to lie, since that was what he was all about, but he also knew when a person lied as well. Or at least the other sides he knew.
Thankfully this was something that he didn't always have to worry about, as it was pretty easy to ignore it. But lately…. There was one that was getting harder and harder to ignore. It was starting to become very worrisome too.
He was quiet as he sat in the living room area, watching the others talk about some TV show that he didn't really care about. What he did care about though, was the hoodie clad side that was curled up in a chair, staring off to nowhere.
What bothered him most though, was that it seemed none of the others seemed to even notice. He watched as they continued talking, almost seeming to ignore that both himself and Virgil was there.
“Virgil!! What did you think?” Patton said, finally acknowledging the anxious side. Virgil looked up confused. “Huh??” He said blinking. Patton looked concerned.
“Virgil…. Are you alright?” He asked and the lying side watched quietly. He wanted to see how this would go.
“I'm fine Pat, really” Virgil said with a small smile.
Lie….
Patton was quiet and bit his lip before nodding. “Ok, if you're sure kiddo. You can always talk to us if you're not feeling well” he said and Virgil nodded and smiled. “I know” he said
Lie…
When Patton turned back to the others, Dorian watched as Virgil's face fall and he curled up slightly tighter. It irked Dorian to no end. Didn't they know by now that Virgil was still upset? Didn't they know that you had to push slightly to get Virgil to talk?
He knew they had accepted them and everything, but most of the time he was ignored and Virgil was still not listened to and pushed aside. He had seen it.
Videos of where Virgil tried to say something, or didn't want to do something and it seemed as if it didn't even matter to the others!! And here they were doing it again!
Virgil must of finally felt himself being stared at, because he looked over and saw Dorian looking straight at him. He stiffened because he knew the other would know he had been lying.
As quickly as the anxious side could, he quickly sunk out back to his room. Virgil moved quickly and curled up on his bed. He just wanted the day to be over with. It didn't matter, he was fine.
He was fine…
He was fine…..
Tears filled his eyes as he let out quiet sobs into his pillow as he continued to try and believe his own lie.
