Trying to Live with Others in His Head

Summary:

Basil is a good kid. He is nice to people. Maybe too nice, but that’s beside the point. He gets.. fairly decent grades. He’s even a gifted kid! (Or, a burnt out gifted kid.) But regardless, he’s a nice person.

 

So why the hell does the world hate him?

 

this is me starting to get my ideas for a basil DID au out to see peoples reactions! This specific fic is for testing the waters, building characters and stupid oneshots all in one fic. other fics will have bigger staples of the au (ex. talking to sunny about DID and coming out as a system). yes this will be a series

Notes:

so sunny DID hc… what about.. BASIL DID hc.. beware this will be a series!!! no self control!!!! on my tiktok friends only i made a lore post abt this series (@8bitidiot and @sideshowduckling btw please follow i do occasional friends only previews and bounce ideas there) and its been my only thought for like 3 weeks

ps i wrote iki with improper punctuation to really show its iki when he has internal dialogue

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Induction to the Others

Chapter Text

Basil is a good kid. He is nice to people. Maybe too nice, but that’s beside the point. He gets.. fairly decent grades. He’s even a gifted kid! (Or, a burnt out gifted kid.) But regardless, he’s a nice person.

So why the hell does the world hate him?

He’s traumatized more than he should be. He has almost no memories from 3-10. Worst of all, he has people in his head. The annoying fucking people in his head.

It started with him and Kaiden. He holds most of Basil’s trauma. Next came Maddie, she was based off a character he roleplayed as with his friends. She also holds part of this trauma.

For 3 years no one else came. Until a quite a few came within a few months. First DB, who’s a demon and has a castle? He’s very social though, and Basil loves when DB talks for him. Then came Dite, who is more of a ghost. All her energy has drained from when she came. She does so much stuff for Basil. Next came Lily, a sweet 7 year old. She is probably a manifestation of Basil’s inner child. Last of the mass amount joining was Iki. That bastard. Iki is just like Basil but acts like a typical 13 year old boy. Basil hates that guy. Iki loves to torment him. They are almost always doing things together. It’s annoying.

The most recent addition is Nothingness, she’s a white flowing.. thing. She tries hard to keep everyone together. Bless her.

So. 8 of them. All in one body. It may seem fun, and Basil admits, it’s funny sometimes, but it’s hell. For everyone. Basil hears Iki torment him all day, DB whines over anything all. day. Maddie doesn’t give two fucks about anything, and Kaiden rots away inside! Iki also hates being called Basil, because he isn’t. Everyone looks up to Sunny and Omori for being so.. open about this.

———————————————

It’s a nice day outside. Basil is out tending to his plants. Iki’s here to.. keep him company, I guess. He’s really talkative for some reason.

‘.. and that’s why shadow is best sonic character hands down fuck tails and silver you have bad taste,’ Iki finished his internal rant. Basil was barley even listening and letting him go on.

“Says you. Your taste in men is..”, Basil replied.

‘you arent talking. you are NOT talking.’

‘damn, its hot’

“If you would shush I could finish my gardening and we can go inside!” Basil shouted inside his mind. Iki is sometimes too much.

Taking off his gloves for the day, Basil started walking inside. Iki started talking about randomness again. Whatever made that boy happy.

If only Basil had the courage to tell Polly about all this.

Chapter 2: A Talk with Iki

Summary:

DB and Iki have a chat

(Iki was written with improper grammar and punctuation on purpose again to convey Iki is different from DB and Basil.)

Notes:

hey guys im feeling generous expect the final omori chatfic for a while soon (and more of this series and a long transfem basil story!)

i love building relationships between characters its so fun. DB and Iki are besties in this au its true IM THE AUTHOR.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

“..and she stole my seat! I was in the right and she-“

“Basil you there?” Aubrey asked, interrupting Kel’s ramble. Basil, in-fact, was not there, it was DB with Iki in co-front. Iki knew about everyone enough to be able to help DB actually talk to others without revealing it wasn’t Basil.

“Oh uh, yeah I guess. Spaced out or something,” ‘Basil’ replied. Aubrey was shocked over his.. different tone, but nodded regardless.

“Ok so as I was saying, she SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT!” Kel continued, DB zoning out just in time to listen to Iki whine.

‘you SUCK at this that isnt what basil would say at all.’

“Iki, I’m older than you. Please shut up,” DB spat at Iki, leaving Iki to fight more.

‘dude does that matter oh my gosh you are older by one fucking year’

“I’m not in the mood to fight right now, go back to playing with your toys,” DB replied, physically smirking as he heard Iki grunt. Aubrey gave ‘Basil’ a glance of worry, seeing him staring into the distance smirking.

“How’s that sound Basil?” Mari asked, snapping DB out of his trance. He just started quizzically at Mari until she got the hint. “We were going to head down to the park, does that sound okay?”

“Oh, sure. I could care less,” DB said, removing his hand from his cheek and standing up. Everyone else stood as well, and the group of 6 started walking towards the park.

‘you really need to work on your ability to hide this isnt basil my gosh’

As the walk continued, Iki and DB went back and forth with weightless insults. Aubrey kept giving Basil worried expressions from all the mumbling coming from him. Maybe one day she’ll ask about it.

Notes:

me when my /hj enemy wont leave me alone about my poor masking skills

Chapter 3: For the Love of God, Shut Up.

Summary:

Iki won't shut up while Basil tries to focus on a quiz.

Notes:

i wrote this in like 10 minutes

 

psssst all of the basil dialogue is internal

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

"You can begin when you are ready. Good luck everyone," the teacher said. He sat his chalk piece onto the ledge of the chalkboard, returning to his seat.

Basil grabbed his pencil, tapping it to his face as he read the first question. Solving for x, that shouldn't be too terribly hard..

'hey basil'

..multiply the fraction by the denominator so it cancels out...

'basil you better not ignore me'

..then add 34 to both sides..

'basil please answer im going to throw that pencil if you dont'

Basil then audibly sighed, loosing his focus on the math problem.

"Can you not see I'm doing a test? I'm trying to focus, please be quiet Iki," he responded to the other, mildly annoyed.

'ok but i know the answer'

"I swear to god if you say 69 agai-" Basil started, only to get interrupted.

'its 69' Iki replied, bursting out into laughter. He seems to think that 6th grade humor is the peak of comedy, when in reality, it's annoying.

"Iki, if you do not stop talking, I will call Dite over to give you a lecture."

'PLEASE BASIL NO IM SORRY ILL SHUT UP' Basil knew that he was in-fact, not sorry. The former decided to be quiet and content with the fact that Iki would remain silent. It was so rare for that to happen, so it was a cherish-able event.

Notes:

another fun fact iki is based off rowan and iki is one of rowans names

Notes:
