Touch-Starved Deceit (Pt. 3!)

Hey, I’ve been feeling anxious again, so I decided to take some new advice and write to distract myself from my anxiety.

Warning: Sleeping in the same bed, implied self-harm, referenced drug use, people judging others on their past, food mention, spider mention, and people thinking Virgil and Dee are together. (tell me if I missed something!)

Ships: Remile, platonic or romantic Anaceit, DLAMP?

Summary: Thanksgiving at Emile’s with Virgil and family Dee hasn’t seen in years; Dee and Patton decorating for Christmas (and decorating the Tree with the others)

(For those that are outside of the US, Thanksgiving is basically where we get together with family and gorge ourselves on food because we killed a lot of Native Americans. Yay, America!)

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 4 || Masterlist | Vote On A Ship!

Dee stares at Remy for a long time, shocked

Remy is staring Dee with the biggest grin on his face.

Emile is confused, looking back and forth between them.

and Virgil is regretting coming to this Thanksgiving ohgodthisisawkward-

Then Emile finally speaks up, “You know each other?”

Remy opens his mouth, but Dee beats him to it, “I thought I was gonna jump off a bridge.”

awkward silence for a while,

Then Virgil coughs.

Emile turns to the emo-looking guy.

And Dee just hopes- prays- that he doesn’t immediately judge Virgil please just assume I’m making good choices now-

“Oh! DeeDee didn’t tell me he was bringing a friend!”

and Virgil just bursts out laughing at the nickname, Remy chokes on his drink and tries not to laugh.

Safe to say that Emile likes him

Because it’s only Wednesday, and they don’t want to spend two hours making a meal, they order some Chinese food.

Emile is telling how he and Remy met when Remy went to pick up his friend Elliot from Therapy.

Dee tells a story about how one year they had a dog staying with them that ate the turkey.

Virgil doesn’t have a lot of stories to tell, but he tells one where the people he was staying with burnt the turkey so they went out to eat.

Remy confesses that before he met Emile he didn’t have Thanksgiving- at least not to the extent that the Picanis did.

Soon they’re heading to bed.

Picani tries to take the couch so that Virgil has a bedroom to sleep in, but Dee just says he can sleep in the bed while he sleeps on the floor.

(Virgil isn’t happy about it, but Dee just drags him to the bedroom)

They’re getting ready for bed when Dee remembers that he has that huge sleeve of the scale tattoos on his left arm.

And when he looks over at Virgil, he’s surprised by the scars up and down his arms.

Virgil looks over before looking away.

Dee doesn’t say anything, just takes off the shirt, looking at his arm where the track marks* still are.

Virgil looks over.

“Three years.” Dee just whispers.

“Two years,” Virgil replies.

They don’t say anything else, but Virgil scoots far enough for Dee to slid into the bed.

The next day it’s pure chaos.

Dee and Virgil have enough time to get ready and to start helping with Dinner.

But by noon the house is filled with people.

Dee is nervous because he hasn’t seen some of these people since he was a kid and others since he was sixteen.

Emile would keep him busy though.

It wasn’t until three when the all the food (but the turkey) was done he really got to interact with people.

He said hi to kids, and greeted his grandmother, who was very happy to see him.

“Are you still dating Ethan?”

“No, Grammy, I haven’t seen him in three years.

“Good. I like this new boy much better.”

At first, he’s confused because ‘what boy?’

then he looks around and sees Virgil sitting with one of his uncles, holding one of the kids.

He quickly corrects his grandmother.

next Remy is pulling him over to meet his mother.

And she’s such a sweetheart, really.

He’s having a conversation with one of his cousins when he feels a tap on his shoulder.

it’s one of his aunts on his dad’s side. (the Karen of the family, if you will)

“You shouldn’t be around kids with your addiction.”

Dee just blinks at her, then looks over at his cousin who shrugs.

“Because you did drugs, you’re addicted.”

Dee is mad because this woman, who he hasn’t spoken to since before he was 15, somehow thinks it’s her problem.

He opens his mouth to talk to her, but it’s surprisingly Virgil who speaks up.

“Hey, who are you to judge him? You’re on your third glass of wine in the last hour.”

She just turns bright red and stomps off.

Then it’s dinner time, and Dee is sitting in between Emile and Virgil, eating his food as the others are talking.

It’s a pretty calm day after that, the others slowly leaving.

the only others that are still there by nine pm are Remy’s mother and his sister, who are going to be staying the night.

They all go home in the morning, Emile sending them all home with leftovers.

Dee promises to visit soon.

He and Virgil are in the car going home when Virgil brings up the facebook account.

“Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up your past or anything.”

Dee doesn’t answer for a moment before saying, “You were just worried, right?”

Nothing else was said during the trip.

It’s now the first of Christmas, and everyone is out of the house beside him and Patton.

He came out to get some food after not eating something since two am when he got home.

He sees Patton in the kitchen with a Christmas garland.

“Ah- Dee, can you help me with something? I need to put this up, but I’m a little afraid of doing it without someone’s help.”

“Sure, what do you want me to do?”

“Just hold the stepladder and make sure that I don’t fall please.”

And Dee does, watching as Patton is setting up the garland.

He’s staring off into space when he hears Patton Screech.

“Spider! Spider, spider, Spider!”

Without thinking, Dee is pulling Patton off by hugging his hips and tugging him down.

Patton’s clinging to him and refusing to go back up to finish the garland.

So Dee took over (over taking care of the spider)

That’s how Dee got pulled into Christmas Decorating for the first time since he was seventeen.

Around Six the other three got back, a real- a real- Christmas tree and some Thai food with them.

Patton is setting up the stand for the tree when Dee realized that he liked hanging out with them.

He also noticed how much closer the others are to each other, even Virgil.

He’s about to go hide in his room after he finished his meal when Roman pulls him over to the tree, ornaments in hand.

Logan is helping Virgil put the gold and silver garland on the tree while Patton is pulling out old ornaments.

It seems like each ornament has a story, and Patton remembers all of them.

Dee puts up a rocking horse ornament.

(No one knows, but Patton snapped a picture and later gets it printed out. It’s the first picture of Dee any of them has.)

That night they end up falling asleep with It’s A Wonderful Life playing in the background.

Here’s the third part! It took a little bit, but I got it out. If you want to, please help me out with what ship should be the end game. You can pick multiple ships, or just one, or even message that account to say if you want them to have a three-way relationship.

Requests/Asks about this AU are always open.

*When you inject heroin and/or IV drugs into your systems for a while, it can leave Track Marks Scars. (Dee is no longer a drug addict, and has been sober for three years and counting. To add to that, Virgil hasn’t self-harmed in two years.)

It’ll be a while until the next part is up, as I have another story featuring Deceit I want to put up :)
