"Come on now Ro!" Linus cheerfully pulled Roman towards the door leading upstairs. Roman let him drag him into the room where Patton was chained to a chair with a gag in his mouth. He looked up and started struggling when he saw Roman. Roman stayed still. If he didn't leave Linuss side, Linus wouldn't hurt Patton. Patton started to cry harder.

"Aww did we already break you patty cake?" Remus entered the room and laughed. Patton glared through his tears.

"Ro here wanted to see you for so long Patton, but because he wasn't being good we didn't let him. He's finally behaving!" Linus wrapped his arms around romans waist and Roman tried his best not to flinch back at the touch.

"No reaction other than the crying? Really patty cake?" Remus pouted. Roman looked at Remus and then back at Patton who struggled against the ropes.

"We should show him the kids, maybe then he'll have a reaction. Ro, go sit." Roman nodded and walked over and sat across from Patton in a chair. "Don't talk." Roman bit his lip and nodded. Remus and Linus left the room and Roman looked at Patton as tears flowed down his face. Patton started crying harder. The door opened and Janus was thrown in the room. He landed harshly in front of Roman. "Alright Ro, you can move." Roman ran over and helped Janus up. Janus looked at him and then back at Linus.

"You have got to be shitting me." Janus growled. He shoved Roman away. "WHY ARE YOU LISTENING TO HIM!" Roman flinched and backed away, only for Linus to hold him around his waist.

"Told you, look how neither of them will look at you Ro. They don't like you." Roman flinched at the words but covered it up. He knew that they weren't mad at him just mad he was listening to Linus.

"You-YOU BASTARD!" Janus growled. Linus kisses romans cheek and Roman flinched.

"Any reaction from patty cake?" Remus entered the room. Roman glances at him and then back at Patton who was crying harder than before. "Still only crying? Oh quit struggling you will hurt yourself patty cake." Janus looked at Remus and backed away. He looked at Patton.

"C-Can I let him out?" Roman asked. Linus laughed.

"Didn't I tell you not to speak? Fine, but you will be punished for this later Ro. You all have some time alone, me and Remus must go deal with Logan." Linus left the room with Remus. Roman helped Patton from the ropes and held onto him as he cried.

"I-I'm Sorry." Patton pushes him away and ran over to Janus. He had fallen to the ground and Janus held him. Patton's legs were so shakey. How long did they have him in that chair? "P-Patton I-I'm Sorry..." Janus looked at Roman and then away.

"Roman are you okay?" Janus asked. Roman wiped his face.

"Do you two hate me?" He asked.

"Roman..." Patton looked at Janus and then back up at Roman. "Of course not I just-."

"You do don't you..." Roman backed away. "T-The only reason I'm actually listening to Linus is so he doesn't hurt you!" Tears flowed down romans face as he leaned against a wall, his face in his hands. "I know I messed up...Patt please I love you..." Patton walked over and held Roman.

"I love you too Ro." He whispered. Roman flinched and then hugged Patton back as he cried.

"They said they had to deal with Logan you don't think..."Roman looked at Janus and Patton. "You don't think they would kill him right?"

"Oh no..." Patton bit his lip and looked at the door. "I really hope not..."

****Logan****

"I want to hear you say it." Remus purred. Logan blinked back tears.

"Can I just have my glasses back please...." Logan whimpered. "I cant move or I'll fall...I can't see." Remus laughed again.

"That's the whole point of your punishment Lo, you won't be able to see again until you say it to me and not cry like a baby." Remus shoved Logan down on the bed. "Now say it."

"No!" Logan growled.

"Fine, no glasses for you then." Remus got up and left the room. Logan put his back against the wall and started to cry. He pulled his knees to his chest. He couldn't see properly in order to escape. He put his head in his knees and started to cry harder. He was stuck. He was in no way going to give Remus what he wanted. Suddenly the door opened and Logan lifted his head but couldn't see so he looked down. Suddenly he was tackled by a smaller figure and when he looked down he saw Virgil.

"V-Virgil!?" He cried as he held him.

"You-Your okay!?" Virgil cried. He held Logan in a tighter hug. "I thought I had lost you dad." Logan smiled sadly.

"I'm not leaving you Virgil, and we'll make it out of here I'm sure..." Virgil pulled away and shook his head.

"T-They keep injecting me with...with something. I'm scared." Virgil leaned into Logan who wiped his face of tears.

"I'm sure everything is going to be fine...do you feel anything?" Logan asked. Virgil pulled away.

"I've been...it's been making me sleep. I'm scared I woke up one day and-and Linus was leaving the room....but I-."

"Oh my god he..." Logan pulled Virgil into a hug again. "I'm so sorry Virgil I wish I could help you more..." tears flowed down his face faster as he held Virgil.

"Now loggie, since your were able to see Virgil, will you say it again?" Remus entered the room. Logan shook his head.

"I refuse to say that in front of him." Logan glared at Remus the best he could without his glasses. "I refuse to let you win."

"Grab him." Suddenly Virgil was dragged away from Linus. "I expect you to say it Logan." Logan bit his lip and looked down at his hands as he bawled them into fist in his lap.

"Please...don't make me say it." Logan shook his head. "Don't..."

"Shoot." Remus said. Logan looked up and saw Linus stick something into Virgils neck. "Oops." Logan got up and ran the best he could to Virgils side as Linus dropped him to the ground.

"He'll be gone in minutes..." Linus whispered towards Logan.

"V-Virgil stay awake come on.." Logan held him in his arms. Tears flowed down his cheeks and he held him. "No... I... I can't lose you please no...." Virgil started to cry as he held Logan's hand shakily.

"I can't...I can't stay awake..." Virgil held Logan's hand tighter. "I-I'm scared." Logan held him gently and rocked him.

"You'll be okay..." Logan bit his lip. He knew Virgil was dying. He wasn't going to be okay. Virgil knew that as well. He held Logan's hand tighter. "Please don't let him leave me...REMUS!" Logan started shaking as he held Virgil in his arms again, pulling him to his chest. "YOU FIX HIM PLEASE! PLEASE!" Virgil smiled sadly and closed his eyes.

"I...thank you dad."

"Fuck...NO VIRGIL NO! Please wake up!" remus walked over and pulled the dead boy from Logan's arms. Logan glared up at him and then looked back at Virgil. He shook as he stood up.

"He's gone Loggie." Remus shook his head. "You didn't want to behave, we had to punish you somehow."

"YOU SICK FUCKS KILLED AN INNOCENT KID!" Logan punched Remus and started to swing randomly. Remus caught his arm and threw him to the ground. Logan started to cry harder. Virgil was dead...and it was all his fault.

****Janus****

He held tightly to his arms when he heard the screaming. He opened his eyes and looked over at Roman and Patton. Patton was staring at the wall.

"That sounded like..."

"He's very distressed but...but what happened?" Roman asked. Janus looked at Roman and Patton and then backed away when the door opened.

"Unfortunately, Virgil passed." Linus entered the room. Janus gasped and backed up.

"You....your lying!" Patton cried. Janus laughed.

"You have got to be joking....you think we'd believe that?" Janus asked. Linus smirked and knocked on the wall. Remus dragged Logan through the door. He threw Logan to the ground and Logan just stayed there staring at the floor. He was crying.

"The little shit deserved it." Remus said.

"Remus!" Roman cried. "Oh god...Logan are you alright?" Logan looked up at them and then back at Remus anger taking over his features.

"YOU KILLED HIM!" Logan stood. "I HATE YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST KILLED ME!" Remus grabbed Logan and pressed him against the wall.

"And lose my precious doll?" He smirked. Janus started to cry. Virgil was really dead? He was just...gone.

"Y-You sick fuck! Virgil was a child!" Roman shouted.

"Linus, do me a favor hun and silence my brother." Remus pulled away from Logan who just fell to the ground. Patton grabbed hold of Janus and pulled him away from Linus as he got closer to Roman.

"Ro..." Patton looked at Roman who was frozen in place.

"Dad run!" Janus screamed. Linus grabbed Roman and wrapped his arms around his waist. Janus was watching in horror. Why did Roman suddenly let this happen!? "DAD COME ON!" Roman let Linus drag him from the room.

"ROMAN!" Patton cried. Remus turned to face the rest of them.

"Linus will need to teach Roman a lesson for talking when he wasn't supposed to earlier I suppose....and you-." Remus turned and glared at Logan. "Should know better by now! Will you behave and say what you said earlier without me having to force it out of you?" Logan wiped his eyes and looked at Patton and Janus.

"I refuse to do your bidding, you sick fuck." Logan growled.

"LOGAN STOP!" Patton cried as he pulled Janus away from Remus. Remus stepped closer and shoved Patton to the ground.

"Say night night Patton." Patton shook his head and struggled against Remus.

"N-No! Stay away from Janus!" Remus knocked Patton out and walked closer to Janus. Janus shook as Remus got closer. He suddenly held him in front of his chest and turned him to face Logan.

"Are you going to say it Lo? Or should I kill Janus as well?" Remus took out a needle and Logan's eyes widened.

"Please...." Logan shook his head. "Please no..."

"Then say it." Remus growled. Janus shook his head.

"Whatever he wants you don't have to say it Logan! I-I understand." Janus looked at Logan and smiled sadly. He looked over at Patton and then at Logan again. "Just tell them I love them..." Remus rolled his eyes and Janus felt the pinch in his neck. He fell to the ground. He felt pain, his body shutting down almost instantly.

"Janus!" Logan fell to the ground and started crying as he scrambled to his side. He held Janus and Janus looked up at him smiling sadly.

"It's alright....this isn't your fault Logan.." Janus smiled over at Patton one last time and closed his eyes. He heard Logan screaming his name but the words to respond slipped from his mind as everything went black. Maybe he'll be with Virgil again.

****Patton****

Patton opened his eyes. He looked around he was sitting in the living room, he was chained to a chair. Confusion set in as he looked around. He saw Logan in the corner of the room holding his knees to his chest.

"Lo?" Patton asked. Logan lifted his head.

"I-I'm sorry it's...it's my fault." Logan was sobbing now.

"What happened?" Patton asked. He realized that Janus was nowhere to be seen. His eyes widened and he looked at Logan. "Oh no...Lo don't.."

"Janus and Virgil are both dead because of me!" Logan started crying harder. "It's all my fault..."

"Lo...what did he want you to say?" Patton asked. Logan looked up.

"He wanted me to...to say yes." Logan bit his lip. "B-But because I refused he killed them!" Logan started crying again. "Patton I can't... I can't say it! But I have to I can't...I can't let him kill you and Roman too..."

"Logan?" Patton asked. Logan looked up. "I wouldn't be upset if you continued to say no, I can take care of myself."

"HE WILL KILL YOU JUST LIKE HE DID JANUS AND VIRGIL!" Logan shouted.

"Logan, it's alright..." Patton smiled sadly. "I don't want you to say yes."

"Patton-."

"No logan, it's not right! He was going to force you to marry him that's not...that's not how love is! He killed your kid for crying out loud!" Logan looked down at his hands.

"If he...Patton I just don't want him to hurt you or Roman. They already took Virgil and Janus away I can't...I won't be able to live with myself if he takes you two away as well." Logan wiped his eyes.

"Oh don't you worry Logan. I got Remus to agree to let me keep Roman alive!" Linus bounced into the room. patton looked at Logan.

"It'll be okay..." Patton smiled. "You'll be okay." Linus walked over to Patton and stood behind him. Remus entered the room dragging Roman after him.

"So! What is it Logan?" Remus asked. Roman looked at patton who smiled sadly. Roman looked at Logan.

"Lo-."

"I..." Logan looked at Roman who was struggling against his brother. "Yes, yes Remus. Happy?" Remus cheered and walked over to Logan pulling him to his feet.

"I'm so happy to hear you say that! Now..." Remus smirked. "Bye bye patty cake!" Patton felt a pinch in his neck and he heard screaming but his vision got blurry and he started to cry as he felt himself slump to the floor. He felt arms around him and he heard someone crying. His eyes opened a little and he laughed as he saw Roman holding him.

"Hey Ro..." Patton reached up weakly and placed his hand on romans cheek. "I love you." Roman started crying harder.

"No..." Patton closed his eyes and heard Roman screaming at someone...and then everything went silent.

****Logan (a year later)****

Logan placed the flowers down on the grave and leaned against the tree besides it. Roman sat besides him and sighed.

"I know it took us forever guys..." Roman chuckled. Logan shoved his arm.

"Yeah, this one decided that he wanted to take forever..." Logan chuckled. "Oh my god you should have seen his face..."

"You asshole!" Roman shoved him back.

"Hey!" Logan laughed. Roman leaned into Logan's shoulder.

"I really miss them Logan." Roman wiped the tears from his eyes and sat up. Logan twirled the purple tulip in his hands and smiled sadly as he placed it into Virgils stone.

"Same...but for some reason I feel like maybe they are here with us right now." Logan laughed a little. "And I feel like they'd scold us for being stupid."

"Yeah maybe they would..." Roman held Logan's hand as they walked out of the cemetery. "I'm happy we got away in one piece..." Logan looked back at the cemetery and then over at Roman.

"Almost one piece..." Logan sighed.

"Logan I know...trust me." Roman stopped walking. "Patton he was...he was the best thing in my life and to lose him because of my brother I just...I know how it feels to be missing pieces. But Janus and Patton and Virgil they'd want us to be happy and not pathetic losers who cry every ten-."

"You cry every five minutes Roman." Logan chuckled as he shoved romans arm.

"Hey that's not fair!" Roman grumbled. Logan leaned forward and kissed romans lips.

"I know." Logan laughed. "But you deserved it." They continued to walk home and Roman smiled at his boyfriend. Logan looked up at the sky as it started to rain and laughed. Just keep living for those that couldn't.
