Sanders Sides Kids

"A fitting one. Come onnnn, I'm not taking no for an answer." he said, moving to drag Depression out of his bed.

Narcissus clawed Depression's fingers off and started to drag him down the hallway. "Come on, you don't have to be so grumpy and depressing all the time!" he said.

Ollie had been washing dishes and generally cleaning downstairs when he heard C come down. He and C were on pretty good terms, and he recognized C as soon as he saw him. “Hello, C.” He said casually. “You’re up rather early.”

"I wanted to have a bit of time to read." He stated quietly, motioning to the books clutched in his hands. He didn't really like being around a lot of people, it made him work harder than he needed and sent him into overdrive.

"Understandable. I will attempt to keep quiet so you can read. I still have to clean, though, so I apologize for that. You people drive me insane with your indifference to cleanliness sometimes…" Ollie sighed and continued cleaning the dishes.

Narcissus clawed Depression's fingers off and started to drag him down the hallway. "Come on, you don't have to be so grumpy and depressing all the time!" he said.

"Not that easy." He said in a single song voice as he was dragged

"Well, this will cheer you up!" he said.

"Of… course!" Depression was suddenly getting increasingly heavy, almost as if someone had wanted to shoehorn in a metaphor for depression weighing down on you until you snap, and provide ample opportunity for slapstick comedy.

"What is going on up there…?" Ollie muttered to himself, finishing off the dishes and heading over to where the commotion was. "Narcissus, are you seriously trying to get D to leave his room?" He sighed, placing his hands on his hips. "This always ends badly and you make a mess of everything. It's terribly inconvenient, you know."

"Do you think I'd make it that easy for you to escape? Oh, hiya Ollie!" he blew a kiss with his free hand towards the specified side.

"Hmph. I'm not sure why you thought this was a good idea, Narcissus. Either you will have to stop, or Depression will have to comply. I've got too many things to clean up today as is, and I do not have time for this." He straightened his tie. Ollie and D were on decent terms; mostly because D never really left his room to make Ollie's life harder.

"Pleaseee help me move this sad sack-of-potatoes, Ollie!" Narcissus pleaded.

"Well, perhaps he wouldn't be so unmotivated if you were to… uh… cheer him up? Give him a reason to get up instead of just telling him to do it. People don't typically like to be ordered around." Ollie crossed his arms in a matter-of-fact way.

"He has no motivation." Narcissus said in a voice drier than a desert. "Dee, you can mope around on the couch but try and be a good sport!" he reasoned.

"You are terrible at this." Ollie told Narcissus. "Hey, D. If you get out of your room, I'll make food. People like food, right?"

"You don't like food? What are you, Pearl?" he deliberately referenced the uptight but loveable Steven Universe character.

"Food is messy!" Ollie looked away from Narcissus. "I… I don't need it!" (He's actually underweight because of this whoops) "That's beside the point anyways…"

"Honey, you need to get some'n in you. Skinny ass, just help me drag him along!" he continued to move Depression. Now that he'd taken his mind off it a little, it was easier and no that totally wasn't another metaphor why are you looking at me like that?

"Alright… alright…" Ollie sighed. "But only because it's quicker." He took Depression's hand and started to help Narcissus, but he still seemed unsure about it.

"Thanks, my beauuuutifully tight strung friend!" he said, and eventually they got him to the living room and pushed him onto the couch. "Where's dad? He's normally up by now having a creative brainstorm, there should be some thunderclouds and rain and random ideas in here by now." Narcissus said suspiciously.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen father, Patton, or Virgil either." Ollie looked around. "Although I do appreciate that they're not making any messes, it is highly unusual for them to not be present. They are Thomas's primary emotions, after all."

"No shit, Sherlock." said Narcissus. "Let's go look for them?"

Ollie rolled his eyes. "Well, it does seem like the logical thing to do. I've already seen their rooms this morning, and none of them were inside."

"Well this is the common area… where are you dad? It isn't funny!!" Narcissus shouted.

"Father? Patton? Virgil? Roman?" Ollie called out. "Strange… normally they'd come up out of the floor at this point, you know?" He crossed his arms again, looking around expectantly. "Hmph. This is rather unsettling. I dislike it."

"Darling, you dislike everything." Narcissus said.

"Well… not everything…" He looked away, a very faint pink hue rising to his pale cheeks. (I think Ollie and Narcissus are going to end up being really good friends in this lol) "There are… a few things I don't hate."

(Yeah he's probably gonna end up kissing him at some point because friends do that right? Nah that's just Narcie being himself he'll end up kissing everyone at some point idk. But yeah, I think they'd be really good friends, lol. Wait, if the sides are all part of Thomas then wouldn't they be related ish? So like, cute cousin bonding or something. Idk?)

"Like what? Books? We all know you're like Papa Microsoft Nerd, okay? Now let's get moving." he said.
