Deceit has the squishiest and chubbiest cheeks out of all of the sides, and they ALL have squished them. Roman tried to deny it for as long as possible, but after witnessing Deceit munching on a granola bar with his cheeks stuffed like a squirrel he couldn’t stop himself.
Deceit was blushing days after the squish incident.
Thomas Sanders had his eyes fixed on the road, trying to stay focused as the sun slowly disappeared and exhaustion set in.
He jumped slightly as yet another loud exclamation came from the back.
“Ow! Virgil!”
“That wasn’t me!”
“whoops, that was most definitely an accident!”
“You mother f….”
“Boys! Cut it out!”
“Hand me the scissors and I’d be happy to.”
“Virgil! What did I say about threats of violence?”
“Not to do them within earshot of you?”
“That’s right… Wait what?”
“Can all of you just stop?!” Thomas shouted, causing the car to fall silent. “I’m trying to focus and all I can hear is you lot arguing!”
Logan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sent a glare at the four traits sitting in the back.
“I’m sorry Thomas, the boys are just a little extra spicy today.” Patton said with a small smile, ignoring Logans glare.
The next few minutes of the journey passed in blissful silence until a voice wailed. “Stop the car I’m gonna puke!”
Thomas quickly pulled over to the side of the road with a sigh and there was lots of scrambling as Roman climbed out and vomited.
“Roman, are you sure you’re not travel sick? This isn’t the first time.” Thomas said in a tired voice.
“Of… Of course not, it was just because a certain someone elbowed me in the stomach.” Roman tried to play it off, sending a glare over his shoulder at the trait in question.
“Who? Me? I’d never do such a thing. I’m as innocent as they come.”
“Deciet I swear, next time I’ll just be sick on you.” Roman threatened and Deciet made a face of disgust.
Virgil rolled his eyes and muttered “Both of you need to shut up, I was almost asleep when Roman had to open his big mouth.”
“Oh really? You don’t usually complain about……” Romans hand covered his mouth, cutting off his words but it was quite clear what he was about to say.
Virgil was bright red but sent a slightly grateful look at Deciet who’d shut Roman up before he’d finished his sentence.
Thomas opened his mouth for a second and then shut it, shaking his head and deciding he didn’t want to know.
“If you’re all done wasting valuable oxygen with all your nonsensical arguing, shall we get going again?” Logan asked in a fed up tone.
“Logans right kiddos, get back in Roman and let’s hit the road!“Patton said with a grin.
"Why would we hit the road? That makes no sense at all.”
“It’s a saying Logan!” three voices exclaimed.
Logan grit his teeth, not liking being corrected, but muttered “Fine, let’s ‘hit the road’ as Patton said. It’ll be getting dark soon and we’re way behind the schedule I made of where we’re supposed to be at what time.”
Thomas once again drove down the road, smiling slightly as there was yet another moment of blissful silence.
Time passed and Thomas glanced in his rear view mirror to see Virgil had fallen asleep against Patton.
His eyes went back to the road again and then flicked back to the rear view mirror where he met the eyes of Deciet who grinned and gave him a little wave.
Thomas frowned at that, confused why Deciet seemed so pleased with himself.
His confusion lasted until he glanced at Roman and noticed the creative traits eyes were narrowed furiously at Deciet and his face was almost as red as his sash.
It seemed the reason there had been such a long blissful silence was because Deciet still had Roman silenced.
Thomas focused back on the road, biting back a small chuckle at Romans situation.
Roman was fuming, he couldn’t speak or make a sound thanks to Deciet and no one else had noticed and told him to stop.
Virgil was asleep leaning against Patton who was slowly drifting off himself so neither of them could help, Thomas was driving and Logan was trying to help navigate.
Roman scowled but that soon turned to panic when he felt his stomach churning.
He tapped Deciet on the shoulder frantically and the snake faced trait seemed to think he was trying to complain for a second but as Romans face paled drastically he seemed to get he idea.
“Romans gonna puke again!” he exclaimed.
Thomas once again pulled over and Roman jumped out of the car before turning to face Deciet with wide eyes.
Deciet quickly waved his hand and Roman ripped his hand away from his mouth, turned and puked.
While Roman was puking Logan looked in the back and smiled ever so slightly at the sight of Virgil and Patton cuddled up together asleep.
Logan was mildly surprised that Virgil hadn’t been the one involved in the most arguments and that he was actually asleep.
The anxious trait had been the one most reluctant to come and he’d kicked up a fuss when he realised he had to sit next to Deciet but for the first part of the journey it had gone OK because Virgil just drowned everyone out with his music.
Virgils phone had died though and that’s when most of the arguing started but it was mostly between Deciet and Roman.
Logan glanced at Deciet and shook his head. The snake faced trait was as sarcastic as Virgil, extra as Roman and almost as intelligent as Logan which made him all the more annoying.
Roman got back in the car and Thomas set off yet again.
Deciet pulled his phone out of his pocket, making sure the brightness was all the way down so Thomas wasn’t distracted while driving, and angled it so he could get a couple sneaky pictures.
He got two of Virgil and Patton asleep, one of them where it was just them and the second he angled it so he could poke his head in with a smirk and thumbs up.
He’d already planned the caption he would use when he uploaded it and he couldn’t wait to see Logan and Romans reactions. It would be hilarious, up until the point they decided to murder him.
He hesitated but continued to post the pictures with the caption Moxiety is official, the ship has sailed!
He grinned and had to hide a small chuckle with his hand as the comments began to flood with people freaking out.
It was a full on debate of whether or not Deciet was lying or not this time and whether the pictures were real or not.
He responded to a couple messages and almost snorted as someone demanded he video it so they knew it was real.
Who was he to stand in the way of what the fans wanted? So he filmed the two asleep then turned the camera to himself where he winked and ended the video.
He uploaded that as well and was struggling to hold back his laughter at how much people were freaking out.
Roman was staring out the window, trying to ignore Deciet and fight off the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. He couldn’t see much as it was very dark now but he could sort of make out the shapes of trees and bushes.
Thomas himself was having trouble seeing much but that was mostly due to how tired he was and the fact his eyelids were starting to droop.
Logan kept sending worried glances over at Thomas, not saying anything until Thomas’s eyes shut and he almost swerved into the next lane.
“Thomas, pull over.”
“Logan it’s fine, I just need…”
“Thomas! Pull over right now!”
“OK, OK. Chill.” Thomas muttered and pulled over for what seemed the hundredth time in the last 24 hours.
Logan got out of the car and walked around to the drivers side.
“What…?” Thomas started as his door was pulled open.
“I am not letting you continue to drive us in such a state. I will be taking over while you get some sleep.” Logan ordered.
Thomas didn’t try to argue and found himself sat in the passenger seat while Logan sat in the drivers seat.
“Thanks Logan.” Thomas yawned and Logan refrained from rolling his eyes as he immediately fell asleep.
Logan and Deciet were the only two traits still awake as Roman had drifted off with his face pressed against the window.
Logan was focused on the road but a muffled chuckle made him glance in the rear view mirror at Deciet who he noticed was taking pictures of Romans less than flattering expression.
“He’ll kill you if he knows you’ve got pictures of him like that” Logan said making Deciet jump slightly.
“He’s asleep at the moment so it’s safe enough for me to post them and when they’re online he won’t be able to take them down. The fans will love them.” Deciet responded and Logan shook his head slightly.
“That still doesn’t mean he won’t kill you when he finds out.”
“Eh, I’ve done worse and survived, I think I can handle the Disney dork.” Deciet said.
Logan scoffed “Deciet are you referring to when you broke his mirror? You only survived then because you hid behind Virgil.”
Deciet shrugged “I still survived, besides Virgil wouldn’t let him kill me for posting these because they’re hilarious.”
Logan chuckled slightly “Let’s hope you don’t somehow manage to annoy Virgil before Roman finds out about the picture or he’ll probably stand back and watch rather than helping you this time.”
Deciet gulped as he remembered the Moxiety post he’d done. “Well, I’m going to sleep now, have fun with your driving.” he said and shut his eyes, making Logan frown in confusion.
After a while Deciets feigned sleep became real sleep and Logan continued to drive, ignoring the way his eyes stung slightly from lack of sleep and when the sun began to rise.
He noticed a service’s up ahead and pulled in there, letting out a small sigh as he glanced around at the sleeping inhabitants of the car.
It wouldn’t be long before they all began to wake up so he would just sit and wait so they could grab breakfast before they continued the rest of the journey.
While he waited he pulled out his phone and frowned at the number of notifications.
He quickly went on twitter and found the post Deciet did of Roman asleep with his cheek pressed against the window, a string of drool coming out of his mouth.
Logan shook his head with a smile then his eyebrows furrowed as he spotted something else. There were several people freaking out in the replies so Logan went to Deciets profile to check what else he’d tweeted.
His eyes widened as he saw the picture of Virgil and Patton and then they narrowed as he read the caption Deciet had put.
“That cheeky little sh……” Logan started to growl when he had an idea.
He quietly got out of the car and opened the door Roman was leaning on, making the creative trait slump half out of the car.
Logan shook his head and gently pushed Roman so he was leaning against Deciet and smirked when both traits instinctively cuddled into each other.
He then snapped a quick photo and put it on his twitter with the caption they say they hate each other yet I continue to find them in situations like this. Don’t listen to their denials.
He shut the door and got back into the car with a smug expression as his twitter blew up so much he had to turn his phone off to stop it waking the others up.
The fans would easily be convinced that Deciet had lied about Moxiety being a thing but Logan tweeting about Deciet and Roman? Not so much.
Logan didn’t even know what their ship name was but he was sure he’d be seeing a lot. No one would suspect him of acting mischievously so they’d accept it as official as it came from serious business Logan.
He couldn’t wait to see the two’s reactions. That’s what they got for arguing the whole journey.
