Deceit watched from behind the couch, unseen, unheard. Remus crouched beside him, sniggering as Anxiety greeted Thomas with a simple "hey." Thomas groaned. "Ughhhh. Ok, everyone, please welcome... my anxiety."

"Sup!" Anxiety grinned nonchalantly, rocking back on his heels. Everything about him was dark, from his black shirt to the smudges under his eyes to his grey hoodie to black sweatpants and even his dark brown orbs, hidden by his bangs.

"Seriously, dude? I wasn't even doing anything!" Thomas exclaimed, looking at Anxiety accusingly.

"Aren't those the best times for me to show up? You don't normally feel this way, so what are you doing different? What are you doing wrong?" Anxiety smirked, falling into his role as the antagonist easily.

Thomas continued to complain about the dark side, talking about how Anxiety had just appeared for no reason and ruined his peaceful moment. Eventually, he summoned Creativity with a call. "Prince Dude!"

Instantly the Duke's brother rose up with a dramatic pose, the music swelling. Remus scoffed at his brother's unnecessary flamboyance. "Hello! You summoned me."

"I swear I will disembowel his spleen and leave it on Morality's doorstep. He's gross." Remus grumbled. Deceit shushed him softly, trying to listen to Thomas and the conversation.

"Right now, I hope and dream to get rid of my anxiety." Thomas said, gesturing vaguely towards Anxiety.

"Your what now?"

"Hey there Princey." Virgil smirked, eyeing the passionate side.

"Oh. Him. Can't stand that guy." Roman muttered.

At that moment, Deceit saw the look on Anxiety's face. His hurt expression, hastily hidden by a mask of arrogance. And Deceit saw what words could do to Anxiety. He saw that Creativity had hurt him.

Right then and there, Deceit vowed to take better care of Anxiety than the light sides ever could.
