Logan Knows-Sixteen

                                    

                                          
Logan's POV
                          
"Hey Logan?" I hear a voice from behind me. Patton releases me from his bear hug so I can turn around. I see Anxiety standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at me.
                          
"Yes Anxiety?"
                          
"Can I talk to you about something?"
                          
"Of course as long as it's not emotions. Then you'll need Patton."
                          
"No no. I don't feel many emotions nor will I need help with them any time soon."
                          
"Alright then. Let's discuss in my room."
                          
Anxiety and I walk to my room. I open then door and let Anxiety in. He goes and sits on my reading chair while I close the door and take my usual spot on my desk chair.
                          
"So what's wrong?"
                          
"Well. You know how I have nightmares commonly?"
                          
"Yes. Why is that important?"
                          
"Well. There is a certain playlist that I can play at night that will prevent my nightmares from happening."
                          
"I mean. White noises can kill off nightmares. May I listen to this playlist then some of your normal songs?"
                          
"Yeah." Anxiety says reaching out his phone. He unlocks it and goes into his music. He has many different playlists but the one he taps is called, "Nightmare Stoppers"
                          
He plays it on shuffle the first song, I read is called Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple. That doesn't seem that calm of a song, but I shrug it off.
                          
We go through a few more songs that I wouldn't usually call calm. Though, I mainly listen to classical piano pieces by Beethoven and Mozart.
                          
"Well, those don't seem the calmest. But now can you show me some of your regular songs?"
                          
"Yeah."
                          
Anxiety gets out of that playlist and goes to another one called "Mix". He clicks the shuffle button and the first song appears. I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance. After we listen to that, a song starts playing, but it sounds like him and another singing it. I look at him questioningly and he immediately skips it.
                          
I reach over and pause the song playing, which is Migraine by Twenty One Pilots. He looks up at me timidly.
                          
"Was that you and someone else?"
                          
"U-Uh... No."
                          
"I can tell from your nervousness, that you are lying."
                          
"Okay fine. I'll show you who it is." He stands up and walks to me then grabs me by the collar, "But if you tell ANYONE, I'm going to end you."
                          
I gulp and nod.
                          
"Alright, follow me to my room."
                          
I get up and close my door behind us as we walk out. We head over to Anxiety's room, he unlocks the door and opens it up for me. I step in and he closes and locks the door behind us. Then he runs around at ungodly speeds making sure no one is around and can hear us.
                          
Then he closes his eyes and shouts, "Deceit!"
                          
Then in a flash of dimmed light, I see a man with a snake like face appear.
                          
"Heya buddy! What's u- Oh My God! Is that Logan?"
                          
"Yeah." Anxiety turns to me.
                          
I stumble backwards, "Is... Is that a dark-sider?"
                          
"Only the second one you'll meet." Deceit tells me, "There are plenty more, but you already know Anxiety and I here."
                          
"You're a dark-sider Anxiety?"
                          
"Yes. That's how he can transfer through my room. My room is still in the dark-side."
                          
Virgil's POV
                          
"So, you're telling me. That all the voices we've heard coming from your room are dark-siders?"
                          
"Only Deceit and another one yeah."

                          
"Okay... I'm so confused. I need to sit down."
                          
I get one of my bean bag chairs and sit it next to Logan. He sits down and his consideration face becomes present.
                          
I talk to Leo for a little bit. Logan doesn't know my name yet and he just met Leo, so I don't plan on him knowing either of our names any time soon.
                          
"So, you've been talking to other dark-siders without us knowing?"
                          
"Yes. That is what I have been saying." I tell him.
                          
"I know and understand this, but I'm attempting to process this information by going at my own speed."
                          
I shrug and turn to Deceit, "You wanna sing something while he figures everything out?"
                          
"Yeah."
                          
I smirk, "We should sing Young Volcanoes."
                          
"Yeah."
                          
I grab out my guitar, make sure it's tuned and begin to play the song.
                          
We stare uncomfortably at each other not being able to sing with out fangs out, but soon our cue is here.
                          
When Rome's in ruin,
We are the lions free of the Colosseums
In poison places, we are anti-venom
We're the beginning of the end
Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds
It's all over now
Before it has begun
We've already won
We are wild
We are like young volcanoes
We are wild
Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?

                          
I look to see that Logan's expression has softened and he now is looking at us in amazement and has a face of enjoyment.
                          
Come on, make it easy, say I never mattered
Run it up the flag pole,
We will teach you how to make boys next door out of assholes
Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds
And it's all over now
Before it has begun
We've already won
We are wild
We are like young volcanoes
We are wild
Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?
We are wild
We are like young volcanoes
We are wild
Americana, exotica
Do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby?
                          
"That was... Exquisite." Logan says after a moment of silence.
                          
I rub the back of my neck, "Thanks. I usually only sing with Deceit and another person."
                          
"So there are three always singing here in your room."
                          
"Uhm... What?"
                          
Logan's POV
                          
"Roman, Patton, and I started suspecting that there was at least one person always in here, because we heard you guys singing. I didn't know it was tru-" I was cut off by the slam of a door. I look up to see that Anxiety has shut himself in his bathroom. Deceit looks at me.
                          
"You're smart right?"
                          
"Y-Yeah."
                          
"Then by now, you might be able to tell that I am deceit. I lie, usually. But not always"
                          
"Of course."
                          
"Good. Well, if you truly are smart, you will never talk of this other than with Anxiety and I."
                          
I shakily nod then fly out of the room closing the door tight behind me. I can hear Deceit knocking on the bathroom and say, "Oh come on. It's okay. He won't tell anyone at all."
                          
Leo's POV
                          
I hear some muffled noises through the door. Now Virge usually locks himself in the bathroom, so I've grown familiar with door speak.
                          
"Yes, he's gone. I made him leave."
                          
More muffled noises.
                          
"Of course Virge."
