The Snake Tamer - Deceit Sanders x reader [Completed]

Recap:
Patton walked in, basically jumping up and down. "Hey kiddo! Thomas got an idea for a vide- huh? Why is he here?" It occured to me that this wouldn't look very platonic from an outside perspective. I mean it might not be platonic but still, my father figure caught me with a boy when we're as close as he could possibly get.

Not only that but Patton would most likely question how we meet, I'd have to lie since I wasn't going to throw my emo brother under the bus and Deceit would probably rat me out since he didn't like Virgil in the slightest.

Crap.

Quick Authors note, Y/F/N stands for your friend's name and the reason I refer to them sometimes as P/P is because I want to chose who is the same gender as you. Would you like me to continue operating it like that or do you want to pick a random name and gender to put in the story?

An awkward silence enveloped the room, none of us knowing what to say. Deceit's embrace wasn't as tight as it was before, his face looked smug. Even so, I could tell he was panicking on the inside due to the way his chest constricted against my back. I opened my mouth as if to speak but no words came out, my throat feeling sore and dry.

As I searched my brain for a suitable explanation, my phone suddenly started echoing around the edges of my pocket. I pulled it out of my phone, escaping from Deceit's embrace and being on a side view to both men. It was a friend who went to school with me and Thomas. God, I've never been more happy to hear from Y/F/N. I quickly excused myself from the room and answered the call.

I was now in the hall, ready to hear that familiar voice say the timeless greeting. "Hey bitch." There it was, the phrase echoed though my phone. That dick on the phone is my friend since we were children. We joked like that a lot, never really meaning it. "Who you calling bitch?!" I knew that the boys could most likely hear me from the kitchen but I honestly didn't care.

I hadn't heard from her since December, I had an excuse to miss P/P. We laughed, again it was an inside joke. "Anyway where are you? You found a new sucker to freeload off of?" Y/F/N was one of the first people I stayed with after I got kicked out and one of the only people I actually knew before hand. I looked into the doorway of the kitchen, stifling a laugh at the sight I saw.

Patton and Deceit were awkwardly standing there, not talking or even making eye contact.

That's amazing. I turned around and leaned against the living room wall. "At Thomas', I've been chilling with him and his sides." I heard a loud groan from the other line. "God, I've been meaning to finally talk to them. I've been busy with prop making for that show happening in town uh... I remember what it is for the life of me." I mulled it over for a second.

What were they showing? God, I've seen it advertised all across town so how on earth had I forgotten? All I could remember was one detail. "The name's French right?" P/P hummed in agreement. "Yeah, I think Thomas was in it a few years back." Oh yeah. I think he mentioned that when he was talking about stage fright. Still couldn't remember the character for life of me though.

"Anyway, we could totally hang with them sometime." I changed the subject back to what it originally was. "Sounds lit." I laughed. The call continued for a while, a similar tone persisting throughout the conversation. A while later, I went back into the kitchen. Deceit had sunk out but Patton was still there, waiting for me.

He explained they had an idea where in a QnA, they would get some questions before hand but also get some from the chat. It was in celebration for Valentine's day and he explained with minimal teasing which is always appreciated. I said it sounded cool and he took that as right that very minute so now I'm standing off set by the camera that points at Thomas.
