Epilogue

-5 Years Later-

The snow had piled up around the houses as it did nearly all times of the year here. Virgil had moved to a state up north, nearly bordering on Canada, a few years ago because he’d hoped it would help him to not think about Remy as much. It sorta helped.

His apartment was empty right now since he was still at work. Well not completely empty. Three big cats were a laying near the window pan licking up the warm rays of sunlight coming in. Bela was the first to notice when a glowing ghost appeared in the middle of the room but Boris and Elsa soon followed along since they all knew the ghost usually brought cat treats.

“Hey. My little monsters, I’m home” Virgil said as he got home.

He threw off the overalls and gloves he had on while working while letting out a long tired sigh. He’d upgraded from just being forklift certified, now he could drive excavators as well! He mostly built though, carrying brick and that sort of stuff. Getting to work physically helped begrudgingly somewhat with his anger issues.

Bela let out a loud sqwuak at her papa being home followed by Boris running up rub his face against Virgil’s leg while Elsa was still focused on getting treats. A big stupid grin appeared on his face, one which he only showed to his cats, as he hunched down and petted them. When Virgil saw the ghost, or more realistically saw her bright pink glow reflecting over his floor he casually said hi before continuing on with his after work routine. The ghost showed up pretty regularly, at least once every other week, he and the cats were all used to it.

While he poured up some microwave soup for himself and filled up the cat’s food bowls he talked to the ghost about a new movie he was interested in seeing before asking if maybe she wanted to play a game of scrabble (the halloween edition). Before adding some half hearted threat about how he was totally gonna beat her this round.

From the outside looking in he might have looked a little lonely as he relaxed on the couch as his cats surrounded him to take all his heat and a faint glow of a ghost set up a game of scrabble, but really he was quite content.

Logan cleared his throat and changed the page in the book he was reading. The only other sound near him was the nearly constant tapping of keyboards coming from Janus. They were working on an essay for their university course in philosophy. Both Remus and Remy thought they sounded a bit insane for taking university courses ‘for fun’ but they just really enjoyed bitching about the topics they were passionate about. Such as what a buffon George Berkeley had been. Lo often joined them for their study sessions just to spend some time with them.

“You’ve made a grammatical error” Logan commented as he looked over his partner’s shoulder.

“Writing his surname without an uppercase letter was a choice, not an error. Let me enjoy it until I have to proofread” Janus replied.

“There’s no better background sound to reading than being with you”

“Not even that cracker rap you like?” They said it in a lighthearted tone.

“Not even those because as far as I know I don’t love any of those” Logan gave them a sloppy kiss on the cheek “Look, I am being so emotive and loving, adjectives, etc etc”

Janus turned his head to meet him in a kiss “I’m aware darling. Peak romance of you. I think I’m done with rolling this metaphorical boulder up the mountain for today. Want to eat at my place?”

“Yes please. I am barred from me and Patty’s place for the night. Rowan is in town and they would prefer alone time”

“She is?”

“Only for a few days”

Patty and Rowan had eventually realized that since they were long distance for most of the time they worked better as friends and part time lovers. Patty was still the first person Rowan went to see when she was in town and Patty still sent Rowan photos of every cute dog she saw.

Logan drove right past the city centrum and stopped near the apartment Janus, Remus and Remy shared. It was decently sized with a balcony where Jan had set up some pots to grow sunflowers along with other plants. They were most proud of their tiny tiny lemon tree. Remus kept making jokes about ‘lemon stealing whores’ but Jan refused to look up what he was referencing. Rem also had a few of his own pots where he tried to frankenstein together new plants.

When the couple got to the inner court of the apartment complex they saw Remus and Remy relaxing on the grass in front of their place. The sun was striking down with florida heat and slightly obnoxious pop music was coming from Remy’s phone. They were working on a pair of shirts a client had commissioned for them to sew and without them knowing Remus was drawing them. He liked the concentrated look on their face, they looked so adorable with their eyebrows all furrowed.

Remus had taken his shirt off to tan because this year he was going for a bit more of a werewolf look than a vampire. (which his partners were very happy for, testosteron did wonders for body hair). The scars from his top surgery gleamed in the sun.

“Jannie-babey!” Remy exclaimed when they saw their partner.

They held their arms out and let Janus lay down with his head against their chest. He kissed them hello while Logan sat down next to them. Remus quickly finished his sketch before leaning forward to kiss Janus hello. Both of the Rems gladly greeted Logan as well (”LOG!! My fav type of tree!” “Lo! Girlie!”).

“Whatcha think?” Remus asked as he showed off the sketchbook page.

“Aww babe you captured my sexyness sooo well. Right Jan?”

“I must admit you had truly drawn a perfect replica of the most sleepy bastard this side of the north pole”

Remy let out an overly dramatic gasp before using Jan’s own dreads to hit him in the face with “Such rudeness! The gall! Love truly is like totally fucking dead! truly!”

“I spoke no misstruthts! You are sleepy and you were born out of wedlock”

“Ah-” Remy opened their mouth to respond before closing it again. They put on a sour look while continuing to hit their partner with his own dreads. Jan had a goofily self content look on his face.

The sun began to disappear behind the trees so the group decided to head inside. Ms. Carl was sleeping in Remy’s wheelchair, it was one of her new favorite spots.

(I’d taken a lot of Jan and Remus telling Remy that their pain was bad enough and that they could use a wheelchair even if they could technically walk to convince them to get one. They mostly used it when working at a coffee shop nearby but it also helped on dates. They’d been able to go with Remus on much longer trips into the woods! He liked finding gross mushrooms and weird bugs and they both enjoyed screaming into the abyss!)

(Soon after but unrelated Remus had started to sob during his psychologist appointment because it’d hit him that he’d been dating Remy and Janus longer than he had been with Os. It’d been mostly tears of relief)

The apartment was cozy and not too big. There was a bedroom with a king sized bed but also an extra smaller bedroom right next to it for Remus sake. Most nights he did sleep together with the other two but knowing that he had another option was still reassuring. It was also kind of practical to have an extra bed in a relationship between a sex repulsed asexual, a sex positive asexual and a non asexual.

The extra bedroom mostly worked as Remus’ art studio. For the moment the walls were plastered with sketches for a horror themed coloring book for adults he was planning on creating. He was trying to make it as gross as possible.

On the rest of the apartment’s walls hung many paintings he’d made of his partners. His favorite was a painting based on a photo he’d taken off Janus during a trip they’d done to an abandoned themepark where he was standing next to a half broken attraction but Remus had drawn a big reptile monster lurking behind the building.

“Logie! I got some new mold to show you!!” Remus exclaimed as soon as they got into the apartment. He pulled the other man along out to the balcony.

Remy laid down on the couch while making grabby hands for their partner “Let the nerds have their nerd time”

Janus collapsed onto the couch and moved his arm around them so they could move to lay half snuggled up on top of him, their lips grazing against the nape of his neck. He moved his free hand to feel along the faint wrinkles that had started to form next to their mouth and beside their eyes.

“Looking forward to your birthday?” He asked in a quiet tone.

“For when you and Rem kidnap me away to a mysterious place to like torture me with like clowns or whatever? Yeah sure”

“Hey I would never torture you with clowns”

“You would torture me with snakes”

“Well yes. Who wouldn’t want to be tortured by snakes”

“Britney Spears wouldn’t. she would befriend them”

“True! You have a point” Janus sneaked in a kiss before continuing “You’re going to look tremendously hot as a 30 year old dear”

“Pff. You’re just jealous”

“Yes! Indeed! I truly am!! I was made to be a middle aged slash slightly elderly strange aunt. I already have my teapots and mysteriously patterned skirts ready. All I need now is for my hair to start greying and perhaps my skin to be less smooth”

“Aww babe I can get you some like tots cool grey hairdye”

Janus flashed their eyelashes a bit jokingly “Promise?”

“.....” They squinted “....Only for a kiss”

Janus chuckled before leaning in to kiss them. He moved his hands to play with the dress strap on their shoulder. Before he suddenly paused only to say.

“I would make such an absolutely wonderful slightly mysterious godfather, right?”

Remy snorted only because it wasn’t exactly the first time they’d asked “Yah yah especially after the grey hairdye girlie”

“but only the tips. I’m not dying yet, unless you just poisoned me”

“Of course! It’s fashion girlie!!”

“Patty and my Logan have to get that adoption permission accepted quicker so I can officially become the greatest godfather ever in the history of the universe. No one will remember Ghandi or Alexander the great no more. Only me”

“Whatcha talking about?” Remus asked as he came back in with Logan.

“How I can’t see Logie as a daddy like at all. Sorry” Remy instantly replied.

“I think his dad body is coming along quite nicely” Janus argued back.

“Well thank you honeypie” Logan replied “All though I still haven’t been able to find a clear definition of what a so called dad body is”

“MAKE ROOM FOR ME!!” Remus leaped onto the couch and landed with his ass directly on top of Janus’ stomach making him exhale like a broken balloon.

After 5 years of figuring out optimal cuddle positions for 3, sometimes 4, people all of them quite quickly managed to fit on the couch. Logan obviously sat next to Janus while Remy enjoyed getting pressed together between their partners to suck up all their warmth and comfort. Remus liked doing little braids in Remy’s hair during long conversations like his own little fidget toy. He also liked gnawing on them sometimes, they didn’t mind.

Ms. Carl slithered over to see what was going on. Remus picked her up and gave her a kiss on the snoot before giving one to Remy as well.

“Anyone wanna get takeout tonight? I’m feeling like toots for some starbucks and pancakes” Remy asked.

“I’m feeling mario party first!” Remus replied.

“Please we’re adults” Janus said “so I’m taking dibs on Princess Peach since I will not lose. I am here to figuratiely kick your entire asses”

“Aww no big evil reptile for you?” Remus teased.

“I am a far more advanced creature than a Bowser main”

“I’m taking Rosalina!” Remy added.

Logan squinted at the characters “The round ghost should work for me”

“WALUIGI! MUHAHAH!”

It took them all a second before they realized one of them would have to get up from the comfortable cuddle pile to go and get the controllers. They all looked at each other like cowboys about to shoot before collectivly deciding through the democratic means: rock, paper, scissor.

The loser ultimately became Janus who complained loudly and dramatically the entire time he dragged himself up from the couch and got the game inserted. All of his partners dragged him back to the couch as soon as the game was ready. Even though the task had been so smile they all showered him in kisses until he was grinning.

The End

(Hi, me again. I’m glad Remus is doing okay. I guess I’ll do one last check in with Virgil before you wrap up.)

Hey V. How are you doing? How is Bela? I brought cake!

Glow Eyes

You got just as surprised as usual when you saw that Virgil was willingly outside. Though at first you just saw Bela running around a tree as she tried to catch the stream of light shining down from between the leaves.

Virgil had his full hoodie, sunglasses and headphones get up on as he sat on the grass. He'd brought a cat toy with him but Bela apparently preferred the sun spots. The sun had started to warm up into summer temperatures lately after all.

"Hi you" Virgil greeted back at you. Bela paused her hunting to give you a squeak. "I dunno I guess I'm doing fine or whatever. Fall out boy dropped a new album. That's nice. Bebe you doing good?" He said the last part in a cutesy voice.

The cat was too busy catting.

"She gave me a dead mouse yesterday on our walk so I think she's doing pretty good"

You finished your message before a big cake appeared right in front of him. It was decorated with toppings as black as his soul.

"I would never say no to free shit, including free desert so uh yeah I'mma take this" He had already started to eat a slice when he added "I'm not thanking you by the way. I only say thanks a maximum of once a month and I've already used that on you. Bo-hoo. Better luck next month you glowy lil ghost bitch"

He continued eating cake for a long while while looking over his cat and listening to his emo music. He squinted his eyes at you who was still floating around nearby.

"By the way you can come over this weekend. Only 'cause I have a bunch of card games i haven't gotten to play in a while 'cause my only roommate is a cat. But you're gonna be there okay? Not like a dead ghost got any other plans" You glowed in agreement "Good. Great. Nice"

(Hi, me again.)

I’ll hold of on anything life ending until I get Remus’s permission but I will cause every lamppost, tree, bush, postbox and bin to move into his path so he walks into them. And every car door to open as he goes past to once again hit him. And make all traffic lights take forever to change. And make the ground really uneven so he keeps twisting his ankles as he walks. And get lots of birds to poop on him. And when he gets home, mess with his house key so it doesn’t quite fit in the door without lots of effort and frustration. And when he finally gets inside, warp his door’s so they don’t open or close without pulling or pushing then really hard. And make lots of creaky floorboards. And move all the furniture two centimetres to the left so everything feels slightly off, and he constantly stubs his toe on things. And make lumps in his mattress. And make all the taps either run to hot or to cold, and either a tiny trickle or a massive spray. And make all the floors slightly slippery, not enough to constantly fall over but enough that you’re constantly worried you might. And make his duvet slightly to small so his feet will stick out the end when he lies down. And make all his food taste slightly different, not rotten but different. And add a device in the walls that will randomly play Spring by Vivaldi at full volume for about twenty seconds before stopping, and it moves around so he can never find it.

I think that’s probably enough for now. I had way to much fun coming up with minor inconveniences for Oswald. Happy April fools! Anyway after setting all these things up I’ll check on Remus and see how he’s doing.

(By the way you don’t have to write Os reacting to all the things I did. I’m content to imagine his not so silently cursing me as he deals with all of my shenanigans.)

Glow Eyes

Shortly after Janus and Remy had helped Remus back to his apartment he fell into a weak slumber. He went in and out of sleep, tossing and turning on the living room couch. The shock of seeing his abuser had made him exhausted to the point of passing out but his body was too on edge to let him sleep peacefully.

Remy had opened a window and was sitting right next to it so they could could smoke. Janus sat beside them and was doing the wordle of the day because when he got stressed doing puzzles helped him stay calm.

Neither of them spoke. Partially because they didn't want to wake Remus but mostly because just sitting next to each other was enough for them. Eventually Janus got up and got a book before sitting down next to his partner again. Remy cuddled up against him and watched as he turned one page after the other while they heard his heart beat.

Remus' eyes suddenly opened but he stayed still for a long time after that. Janus noticed but his boyfriend didn't look like he was panicking so they decided not to disturb unless he said something.

"Can we have ice cream today?" Remus asked after nearly half an hour of silence.

Remy jumped out of surprise. They looked as if they were ready for him to burst into tears any second now. "I mean it's like your place. You got any ice cream?"

"Unless there's any monsters out we should be able to go out and buy some. And if there are we can go buy ice cream And kill monsters. Double win"

Janus sat their book aside and smiled lightly "The evening sun is quite warm. Darling you got enough spoons to go out on a walk?"

"Think so" Remy replied.

"I'd remembered his eye color wrong" Remus blurted out "I remembered them as much more blue.....I didn't even hear his voice, what if I'm remembering that wrong too" A shaky breathe of relief left his lips "I hope I can one day remember all of him as wrong. Just a fuzzy fucking stupid memory"

"One day" Janus got up and stood by the couch. They meet their boyfriend's eyes but let him move first.

Remus hugged his partner. His arms snaking around their waist as he leant his head against their stomach and Janus in returned ran their fingers through his hair. They saw as he closed his eyes and felt as he pressed his arms around them ever so slightly harder. Remy sat down next to him and quietly leant against his back until he let out some tiny notion of their name to which they pressed a kiss to the back of his neck, right where his spine stuck out.

"I love you two" Remus murmured out "Like- Like how vultures love corpses"

"Yeah I know" "How could you not love me" The other two replied almost instantly. Before both adding "I love you so so so much babe!!" "Darling I love you too"

"Seeing him was...horrible...so am I fucked in the head if I say I....I feel...not better but....less....scared?"

"How so?" Janus replied in a soft tone.

"I dunno. It just- it's like....Closure I guess"

"I get that babe" Remy said "Getting to say goodbye to Viv instead of like having to just run away helped I think. I mean it's not I know how I woulda felt otherwise but I imagine I would have felt even more like unsure"

"Yeah..It felt like.....He can't touch me anymore....Cause I know you two would...would keep me safe" Remus' voice went a bit shaky as if just saying it aloud made him feel all warm and fuzzy from happiness.

"Oh girlie I was fully ready to destroy that man's entire cock and balls"

"I would create the most insidious of traps to make him suffer"

It made Remus chuckle lightly "And you still got that contact with that psych right? Who I can like go talk to?"

"Picani? 'Course girlie. I can call him about like getting you a session any time"

"Okay!" Remus took a deep breathe like he was hyping himself up before exclaiming "You two wanna go get that ice cream now?"

"Sure!"

"Of course dear"

Remus pouted while making grabby hands for the both of them to which both Janus and Remy kissed him. Janus made some snarky joke about Remus stealing their partner so Remy kissed them as well.

That night the three of them all cuddled up together under the warm covers of the bed. Even if it took them all, and especially Remus, a while to fall asleep none of them had any bad dreams that night.

This is the last part before the end. If you want to send any last asks to any of the characters before the epilogue this is your chance.

(Hi, me again. Not sure if this is what you’re going for but the tiny snails reminds me of the ones that Snail had torment Os.)

Im going to use my ghostly abilities to send a duplicate of myself to quickly check on Os and see if he’s close.

If he is then I’ll see if he’s coming to the art exhibition or just passing by.

If he’s passing by then I’ll warn Remy he’s close but hold off on telling Remus unless he looks like he’s making his was towards the art gallery.

If he’s coming towards the gallery than I’ll warn Remus and ask him what he wants to do. I’ll offer ghostly services, such as teleporting Remus somewhere safe or making a sudden hole in the ground in front of Os so he falls in. But ultimately leave the decision in Remus’s hands.

If he’s nowhere near us then I’ll breathe a sigh of relief and encourage Remy to follow the snails, because snails are very trustworthy.

Glow Eyes

(Bingo)

Os had spent enough time with the other supernatural beings to feel your presence as soon as you appeared floating along as he walked. He stuck out his hand right in front of your face and watched as your body floated through the materia. By his expression it seemed he hadn't done it to actually stop you, just to see if he could.

"Now I understand why the snails left for once, since you're here. Did the snails get tired?" He asked while continuing to walk along the sidewalk in a brisk pace. "Am I going to get hounded by a flock of yous from now on...Doesn't matter. It's funny, a guy I know told me he saw a poster with what looked like my apartment on it detailing an art show. What a coincidence, I used to date a wannabe artist. Funny how that works" His voice was dripping with sarcasm "You can tell that to your flock of other yous so they know where to come to bother me"

He didn't expect an answer from you nor did he keep talking. He usually didn't talk to the snails either. All you could do was follow along as he rounded a corner and faraway you could see the art exhibition.

"Looks like everythings okay on the upper floor" Remus said as he came back to the reception.

The receptionist had gone on her lunch break so it was just him and Remy. His partner moved their cane away to give space for him. They htook a hold of his hand when he sat down on the window sill next to them. He pressed a kiss against their cheek.

"You smell like toootalll garbage" Remy said.

"My oh my such a fancyful compliment" Remus replied before leaning his head against theirs.

A sickly blue color filled the entire room as you appeared, your glow shifted rapidly between shades of the kind of blue plastered all over hospital walls. The words spilled out of your mouth vomit, some hasty sentences about Os being on his way and what Remus wanted to do.

A piercing sort of rage went through Remy as they reached their free hand to grab their cane. Remus had protected them against Virgil. They were hell bent on doing the same.

They looked over to Remus and saw that he already had a thousand yard stare. His body had tensed up to the point that his nails was digging into the skin of Remy's hand without him noticing.

His lips turned white from how hard he was pressing them together as tears welled up into his eyes. His entire body went stagnant, he didn't even blink.

Remy was about to ask if he was alright when a choked sob of a sound burst from his lips followed by him trying to force himself to breathe while quickly letting go of his partner's hand. He shook his head while closing his eyes.

"No....no..i...i made the art for a reason...he can...i just...don't wanna be near him i just"

"Deep breathe babey"

All of a sudden Remus just knew Oswald was there. It was like when a person can be recognized simply by the noise of their steps. There was a ringing in his ears as if the ocean was crashing into him.

Remus stood up and turned around. On the other side of the glass stood Oswald, his face half obscured by the poster for the art exhibition.

Os hadn't seen him though. He was looking at the poster and even though his expression didn't change much Remus could still tell as he slowly took in what the art work implied. The perfect recreation of the outside of his apartment. The title. That it had been chosen to be the focus of the exhibition. It was a threat...or perhaps just a message telling Os to never get close to him ever again.

The edges of Remus' sight turned blurry as Os moved his head and saw him. Remus glanced away, he stared off somewhere to a tree far away. He couldn't meet his eyes. The last times he'd seen those eyes....Honestly he wasn't sure. He wasn't sure if it was when he had been held down against his will or if he had somehow caught a glimpse of those eyes as Rowan had helped him out of the apartment.

His vision became even more blurry as he started to cry. He was sure he had the same doe caught in traffic lights look he always had when panicking. Like a bunny caught in a bear trap. When the fox hears the bunny call it comes but never to help don't you know.

Worst part was that Os didn't look affected at all. It only made Remus feel more ashamed. Of course he didn't care. Of course he'd moved on. Of course. Of course.

It would have been easy to say that Remus felt like a scared lonely teen again. That he felt just like when he'd met Os. Like the fear of seeing him again had made him feel small.

But truth be told Remus didn't feel small. He was scared and his body ached from how tense he was and he could feel phantom hands all over but he didn't feel weak.

He felt like he was 22 and like he wasn't alone because he had 2 partners and even though he felt sick to his stomach he knew Os couldn't touch him. He knew he was safe. He knew he had people who loved him and who wouldn't touch him when slept and who he could cry in front of without being scared and who wouldn't call him she or her ever again.

Remus still didn't meet Os' eyes, not because he was scared but because Os didn't fucking deserve to ever see him in the eyes ever again.

A righteous rage shoot through his muscles making his whole body shake as he mouthed out "Go away" To Oswald.

"Go away!" He repeated.

He couldn't stand to see his abuser for a single more second so he turned around. For a few seconds he could still feel Os' eyes looking at him before the feeling disappeared. He stood there shaking and crying until his legs suddenly buckled under him and he turned into a half sobbing dissociated mess on the floor.

Remy had been silently sitting next to him the entire time with their cane ready. They may not be that strong but could still slam their cane into a motherfucker's crotch if Os had dared to try and enter the building.

Drops of sweat was running down Remus' forehead as he cried the kind of ugly cry where snot got everywhere and his face got blotchy and red and the tears were spilling out over his cheeks without any stopping.

"You're safe. He's gone" Was the first thing Remy said.

Remus nodded while wiping snot on his shirt. He couldn't speak, not right now. At most he was able to slur out a "...feel sick.." While dissociating.

"We can get home in like no time okay. Want me to call like Jannie over as well?"

His thoughts were too jumbled to be able to hesitate about it. He nodded only because the thought of Janus made him feel safe and warm.

"Okay. I'll call them. I'll tell the receptionist we had to close early for today. Everything's like totally alright" Remy assured before turning to you and mouthing that you should still make Os fall down a hole. Or get hit by lightning. Or get run over. Or get his dick bitten off. Anything.

(Hi, me again.)

I think first I’ll wander around and take in everything. Starting on the 1st floor before going to the 2nd. Then I’ll go talk to Remus about his exhibition and also how he’s feeling.

Glow Eyes

Right next to the reception and staircase leading up to the second floor there was a tiny room with a black drapery in front of the door. On the sign next to the door it simply read "Installation, Remus Perdido & Logan Aimer, 2023, You may touch the artwork".

You transformed your body into a shape more similar to a humans to more easily understand the installation as you walked inside. The room was pitchblack making it impossible to see absolutely anything. You held your humanlike hands out to feel around while taking a step or two.

A frankly disgusting feeling touched against your hand. It was sticky and humid as if you were digging around in the cutopen stomach of a corpse trying to pull out the intenstants. The first time Janus had tested it he had honestly become fully naseous.

Even when you moved your hands around it still felt as if the substance stayed on your skin but as you left the room and light shone down on you once more you couldn't see anything on your skin.

A group of edlerly ladies had entered the art house while you were in the installation. It seemed like the ladies had already been out and about anyhow and had simply decided to look around since they had nothing else to do. Mostly they were just chatting though.

Remus was quite literally vibrating while shaking Remy around. He was saying something to them which was most likely something about how many visitors he had....there were like....4 ladies....

You continued up onto the second floor and was immediately faced by the huge painting detailing the outside of Oswald's apartment. It was titled "I know where you live" and you noticed that the sign was noticeable bigger than the one for the installation. Janus and Logan were looking at it while talking to each other so you continued past them. You looked into the room playing the video of spiders eating parts of a boombox until the song stopped playing for a while. The song still echoed through the upper floor's walls even when you left.

The ladies left rather quickly and eventually Janus and Logan left to get some lunch as well. They promised to come back later and to bring coffee with them. Rowan came not soon after. She payed the entry fee before opening her wallet and shoving a big wad of cash into the donating box.

She casually fixed her hair while sayug "I just Love supporting local art"

She grinned while pulling her brother into a half sort of hug and ruffling his hair around while he let out joking threats about how he was gonna cook her into a soup if she didn't let him go.

"To think that my dukey bro has got an entire art exhibition" She said in an overly sweet tone while finally letting him go.

"You gonna look around?"

"Nope! I''ve seen enugh of your shitty art for a lifetime! I'm just here to the great sister that I am!"

"More like a grate sister. A TRASH grate!" Remus tried to look smug.

"Not your best work"

"Yeah...But yours worse!"

You went back to looking at the art. The scent hit you as soon as you entered the second room on that floor. It smelled stale and rotten. Luckily you could simply retract your nose for a bit.

On the walls hung several paintings showing different angles of human bodies. The paintings looked distorted and weird in a way you couldn't place until you read the small sign by the door of the room. The paintings had been made using watercolor but bodily elements such as snot and spit. What the paintings showed hadn't been as important as seeing if using human elements could make the paintings more visceral somehow. One of them was titled Literally blood, sweat and tears.

Your hands still felt a bit gross and weird from touching the goop like substance in the installation room.

Voices came from the lower floor as a tiny group of tweens came in. They still had their backpacks on from school with emo band pins littered all over. Remy went out for a smoke break while feeling stupid over it because they knew they were just innocent kids the smudged eyeliner and dark clothes still made them think of Virgil and it made them all queasy.

The tweens went through the art quite quickly and you could hear them say to each other things as "This sucks" and "This fucks". Remus looked over to his twin while holding in a laugh.

"I got a compliment" He said all proudly. His sister roller her eyes.

Around the same time Patty got off work so she could rush over and look at the exhibition. She couldn't stop sputtering out how good it all looked while pulling Rowan along with her. (Even though she didn't get what any of the art meant).

You went into the last room and noticed a low purple lightning coming from neon lights in the ceiling. It shone down onto the otherwise starkly white room. A lone bed stood in the middle with the pillow case Remy had embrodiered.

It took a few seconds before you noticed that your hands were glowing purple as well. You realized the light was ultraviolet and was reflecting the goop like it was invisible ink. The goop had been on your hands the entire time you just hadn't been able to see it until now.

Since you had seen everything the exhibition had to offer you went down to the first floor again to talk to Remus. There were tissues by the entrance door that was probably for the goop. You just transformed back into your usual floating ghost form instead.

Remus and Remy were showing each other memes on their phones when you appeared. You asked him about the exhibition and how he was feeling.

"UGHGH I got bugs all over my brain and heart!! They're crawling all around! There's so many emotions I'm gonna fucking burst into clumps of meat!" He exclaimed while waving his arms around "I didn't think this many people would come!!"

"That's what she said" Remy added that made Remus laugh out loud.

"It's also scary though because art is like wounds all over my body and showing it is like people poking big lemons into the wounds- Oh did you know that if you get scurvy all the scars on your body reopen? It's true!"

"Getting scurvy right after getting top surgery must like fucking suuucck"

"Even worse, Imagine bottom surgery!"

"Oh shit!"

Remus stood up and walked in circles to get his energy out before saying "I'mma go up and check so all the art on the upper floor still looks like it should"

"Alright babe, don't die!" Remy joked back.

You floated down next to Remy while they showed you a few memes. Tiny snails started to appear on the ground near the two of you. Remy greeted them and half sarcastically told them they had to pay the entrance fee to look at the art.

The snails kept surrounding Remy until they even started to tug at their shoelaces as if they were trying to get them to walk somewhere. Eventually Remy set their phone aside and asked "Girlies what do you want me to?"

#glow eyes #thanks for the ask <3 #again sorry writing is taking so long #(btw even tho the snails are trying to communicate another watcher can try and interpret what theyre meaning)

(Hi, me again. Don’t worry about taking a while, I was happy to wait. Also the domestic fluff was adorable.)

Deciding on hats is of course a very important decision. I have narrowed it down to two options. Number one, the fancy bowler hat (Which I actually own in real life.) to match Janus cool aesthetic, or number two, a beanie that’s bright pink on the inside and light blue on the outside, that can be flipped inside out, that I wear pretty much everywhere I go. (That I also own in real life.) After much thought I put on the beanie, with the pink side on the outside, with the bowler hat on top because you can never have too many hats.

Now that I’m ready I’ll pop on over to the art exhibit and wait for it to start.

Glow Eyes

(i'm sorry it took so long for this short thing. i was planning to make this a mini fic but then i realized maybe it would be more engaging if like the reader actually got to look around)

You arrived outside the art exhibition only a few minutes before it opened for the day. Janus and Logan were chatting right outside. Remus had told Jan that they could wait inside alongside him but they had looked forward to being the first visitor there.

"How awfully stylish you look today" Janus greeted as they saw you "Great minds think alike" They added while motioning for their finest yellow beanie.

You hovered around and made ghost small talk until the receptionist lady turned the sign to say open. The entrance price was 1 dollar but there was a collection box in case anyone felt like donating more. You searched around inside your ghost pockets before pulling out an old scottish urn from medieval times. The receptionist squinted but still accepted it.

"How lovely to go on an outskirt and watch some art I've definitely never in my entire life have ssseen before! Or heard discussed endelessly from several people!" Janus monologued while walking into the art show, their hands around Logan's arm.

They shone up into a bright smile as they saw Remus and Remy. (Remy had stayed with Rem because he had been shaking like a Chihuahua from nervousness). They hugged both of them before congratulating Remus on the opening of the show, as did Logan.

"Soo you wanna get some guiding from El artista himself or you two gross love doves just wanna go around looking by yourself?" Remus asked.

"Well we do have plenty of time so technically we could do both" Logan replied.

"Good idea darling. We can go looking for ourself first"

They hugged Remus again before taking their boyfriend's hand and walking away. Remy had already went back to chat with the receptionist. It would have felt weird if they all just pretended like she wasn't also there. Right now the two of them were comparing favorite coffee drinks.

Remus looked up when he felt a sudden influx of warmth "Oh hi you spooky ooky undead!" He greeted you "Thanks for coming. I'm suuure being dead has given you a very busy schedule"

There was 1 installation on the first floor and 3 rooms on the second floor with art in them. You were free to roam around like you wanted to. Remus probably wouldn't even mind if you asked anything.

(Hi, me again.)

Ah, yes. Why on Earth would you need to flip a coin with me here. A simply ridiculously unnecessary task in the face of my otherworldly wisdom. Just give me one second…

*floats around a corner and out of sight*

*sound of a coin being flipped and being fumbled before falling on the floor*

Every time! I swear these things hate me.

*sound of a coin flipping again and just barely being caught*

Yes! Victory is mine! Take that you stupid coin!

*floats back up to them*

Sorry about that. Now I, in all of my amazingness have, after much deliberation and contemplation reached the conclusion that you should go to Janus’.

Glow Eyes

They all agreed on following your wise and well deliberated decision. By the time they got home it was evening so Janus went to take care of his pet snake while the Rems made dinner.

Remy sat on a chair by the stove and put on some rice before making the sauce while Remus enjoyed cutting up the rest of the ingridents with the sharpest knife he could find. They talked a bit about asexuality but mostly they just ranted about celebrity conspiracies like Katy Perry secretly being Jon Benet Ramsey.

When the joints in their wrist's got too weak and just picking up a spoon made their wrists nearly give up Remus finished up the meal while continuing to ramble about the conspiracies as if it didn't bother him at all. Janus came back with Ms. Carl wrapped around his upper body and offered to make the table.

They let ms. Carl sit with them at the dinner table. She had noddled herself all around her own chair. Janus and Remus cheered on as she swallowed her dinner whole while Remy turned away and complained about how the both of them had gross neanderthal brains for enjoying seeing that.

Janus and Remus played card games afterwards. The pain had given Remy too much of a brainfog to be able to play along but they moved to the couch so they could at least lay their head in Jan's lap while they played.

Ms. Carl was coming into her first proper shedding season so they were all very excited about. They argued if the shedded skin should be seen as Ms. Carl's property or if they could keep it (Remus really wanted it for art or maybe just to try eating a tiny bit of it).

The apartment's bathroom was so small they had to take turns brushing their teeth. Remus got to loan one of Jan's sleeping bonets since he for once wanted his hair to not have it's usual messy look since the exhibition started tomorrow. Not because he wanted to look good, he just didn't want to sully the art house's reputation by coming there looking like a hot mess.

None of them discussed it but Janus quietly made sure the couch had an extra pillow in case Remus wanted to sleep there instead of sharing a bed with them. Remus knew he probably wouldn't be able to sleep but getting a soft kiss goodnight from Remy followed by a still unsure and honestly awkward quick kiss with Janus did help. Sleeping on the couch did also mean he had the company of Ms. Carl!

Janus and Remy cuddled up under the covers of the one person bed. He let them lean their head against his arm and watched their eyelids get heavy with exhaustion.

"Your arms gonna be fucking dead by the time you wake up y'know?" They murmured out.

"Don't mind"

"I do. I don't want a partner with an amputated arm for stupid reasons" Remy said in a joking tone while moving their partner's arms so they were both as comfy as possible.

His partner's hair tickled his nose as he smiled faintly "Lately when I take the bus to work every morning those ads about fancy new houses keep catching my eyes" He said softly "And it's making me think about finding a bigger apartment. Not too big, just enough for a 2 person bed perhaps"

"Aww but I like smooshing up with you"

"Darling once summer comes around and you wake up stuck to me with sweat you're not going to be saying that"

Remy chuckled "We could have an extra bedroom if Remus ever wants to stay or like even like live there"

"That would be nice. I am aware it's not going to happen any time soon but...it's a good idea isn't it"

"I'll like keep a look out if I see any cool ads on insta for cool looking apartments"

You appear in the void the next day and on your big supernatural calendar the day is marked as Remus' art show day. You wondered if you should put on one of your nicer hats. You did have free reigns after all, you could come and go as you wanted. Supernaturals don't have to pay entry fee if they don't feel like it.

(Hi, me again)

Okay V, I’ll give you some space. Let me know if you need anything and I’ll be right with you. Goodbye to you to Bela. Keep him safe for me okay.

Hiya folks I’m back. How’s everything going?

Glow Eyes

(No proofreading bc im sick again. also calling Virgil for V sounds very cute for some reason)

"Welcome back!" Patty greeted "Perfect timing. I saved a sandwich for you"

She held the sandiwhc out into the air until you materalized a pair of hands to grab it. The group was sitting around on whatever chairs they had found in the lobby of the art house. Logan had brought coffee and his wife had brought hot chcolate.

"According to my schedule we should be finished by the end of today" Logan said while checking his neat notebook. Patty took his pen to doodle tiny frogs in the margins.

Remus had already finished his lunch and was sitting crosslegged on a bench with his face smoshed up against his friend- uhm- partner- no-.... With his face smoshed up against Janus' upper arm. The fuzzy fabric of their sweater tickled his nose as he touched the edges of their fingertips.

"Jannie y'know you can talk to me if there is anything" Remus mumbled out "I know me and Remy can let out brains explode and splatter everywhere sometimes. So y'know just a reminder"

"Thanks deary, I am aware though. This might be hard to believe but I don't have anything to whine about right now" They let their fingers entangle with his "I feel quite at peace"

Remus bonked his nose even further into their sweater "Just wanted to make sure"

"Dukey, the time" Rowan interrupted "The posters aren't going to prinst themself. We don't got any magic candelaber....sadly"

"Ah shit! Right! Uhhh the store was just like 5 minutes away right?"

"50 bro if you're going to walk" His twin rolled her eyes while patting his back "I can drive. I'm much more used to dealing with posters anyhow" She also patted her own back.

Remus hesitated before giving Janus a quick hug and the tiniest of kisses to the cheek before getting up "See you later fucker!" Rowan jokingly blew a kiss to Patty before leaving with her twin.

There was the sound of a door opening before loud chattering erupted for a bit before more door moving. Janus was already gearing up some sarcastic comment about how quick the trip had gone as soon as he saw the entrance door opening again but shut up when he saw it was Remy.

"Hiii" They were leaning heavily on their cane and let out deep breathe as they sat down next to Janus.

Patty and Logan greeted back at them and Janus kissed them before whispering out a question if the therapy had gone good. They whispered back something about how it had gone good but it had thrown all their spoons out the window.

"Who is throwing spoons out the window?" Logan asked while peering around at the nearest windows.

"It's a metaphor darling"

Patty got up and dusted her long skirt off "I haven't seen the paintings on the upper floor does anyone want to go take a peek?" Logan immediately stood up and took her hand.

Janus could see that Remy was in too much pain to even get to the elevator right now so he waved it off "I'll stay here for a while. Steal all of the coffee muhaha"

As soon as the other two had gone upstairs Remy let themself collapse onto their partner so their head laid in janus' lap. Their hair had gotten just about long enough so he could try to make tiny braids out of it.

"Girl it's like such a heavy day today. Like My brain won't shut up 'bout relapsing" Remy muttered out. Their breathing slowing down and their body relaxing as they felt their partner's warmth.

"Anything in particular wrong?"

"Nah nah don't worry babe. Just y'know. It feels kinda scary to feel happy. Feels like everything's gonna go to shit so it just like feels safer to be high and like disappear before anything instead y'know?"

Janus leant down to press a kiss to their temple "I know. I'm glad you came here instead of dealing with it on your own"

Remy smiled smugly and spoke in a sort of joking cutesy voice "Aww I was wjust wmissing wmy partner" They did some kissy noises.

A while later Patty and Logan came back from looking at the art "It'S So SAD LOGIE!!" She exclaimed with her eyes still on the brink of tears.

Logan had a look on his face that could only mean that this sort of thing happened every single time they went to look at art. He patted her hand and let her sniffle into his shirt.

"What you helped with looks great too deary" She added.

"Thanks love"

The group spent the next hour doing wordle before everyone except for Remy banded together to finish the crossword in the newspaper laying in the reception. Remy had assigned themself to be the cheerleader so all they did was play 'supportive' music.

Once the twins got back they had five or so posters with them and a few brochures. The kind of brochures you get in the reception of an art exhibition where the artist got to write a few sentences about what had inspired them to make the art.

Everyone went to help set up the posters on the outside of the building except for Remus and Remy because the Rems wanted Rem time. Remus was accidentally blabbering about the brochure while pointing out every little thing.

He turned it over onto the back where the credits were for the people who had worked on the exhibition. Of course Remus name was written along with Logan as a researcher and Remy.

"Why's my name there?"

"Becaaauuuseee you're my museeee" Remus jokingly nudged his head against theirs "Just kidding. It's cause of that embrodiery you made! Don't worry! Your name isn't on the poster! No one will know you were part of this except for the people coming"

"I didn't think the embrodiery was such a big thing- ah shit! I've been forgetting to give your sis the skirts I re sewed for her"

"It was a big thing for my heart! My rotten lil soul!!!"

"Your soul is worth 5 cents at best" Remy replied to which Remus gasped.

"Evil! Vile! Such insults! And to your dear boyfriend as well!!!"

"Are you???"

"I'M NOT???"

"WELL- YeAH- But uh girl sorry yeah like" Their face went red for once "I wasn't like ready for it"

Remus blurted out a flustered "That's what she said"

"Your arm is like getting hairyer by the way" Remy said because they loved the look on their boyfriend's face whenever a wave of gender euphoria hit him.

"Really? I thought so too but I didn't wanna assume!! Soon enough I'm getting that fucking mustache!! I can almost taste it!!"

Remy cupped his cheek "You're voice is gonna sound so fucking pretty when it like drops like any minute now. Kiss?"

"Yesh please"

The sun had started to lowed in the sky and all of the posters had been hung up. The exhibition was ready to open. There was just one more night till it was time.

Logan, Patty and Rowan had already booked a reservation for a karaoke restaurant (Logan had only agreed to go because it was trivia night) so the trio left soon after.

The room was quiet for a bit between the remaining three before Remus finally blurted out "Uhh I think I got knives in my stomach"

"Nervous?"

"yEAH"

Janus clasped their hands together "All right does anyone wanna have a sleep over. Can't be nervous over an art show if you're nervous about one of the two of us stabbing you in your sleep!"

Remus nodded while looking like a soggy puppy.

"Any specific place you wanna stay at? Mine or yours?"

Remus shrugged. Remy did too.

"Alright. Ghost's choice then. If only everyone could have a ghost around. No one would ever have to toss a coin ever again"

(Hi, me again. Time to visit Virgil for a sec before returning to the others.)

Hello Virgil, I’m back. I’ll have to dash off at some point soon to see folks but for now I’m good to chat. Now tell me everything that’s been going on with you.

Glow Eyes

"What I've been doing? Same shit as always. Going to work. Making food. All that" Virgil let out a puff of smoke "Still smoking as well"

He was standing on the balcony of his apartment. He looked in through the window only to see Bela having the zoomies. The cat was sprinting back and forth across the living room.

"I think I feel less alone or something. I feel angry less often as well...My therapist told me that doing something with my hands that isn't violent can help with getting the anger and all the other shit emotions out. I got like one of those stupid coloring books for adults" He shrugged "I think it's helping. I've been trying to go to the cinema more too. To like go out and do something without having to get all anxious from being around too many people"

He finished the cigarette and put it out against the balcony railing while seemingly lost in thought. He let up into a dorky chuckle.

"I guess Bela is helping with the loneliness. And that guy you saw yesterday wasn't bad either" A silly sort of snort sound left his mouth before he could stop it. His cheeks went all red from cringing at himself "Don't worry! I literally have no want for a relationship! I'm just a fag in my mid 20s. I feel the same way about getting a boyfriend right now as I feel about getting a kid. We're on That level"

He got that look on his face where he immediately regretted having this entire conversation as soon as the words left his mouth. He went in and petted Bela to calm down.

"By the way this might sound insane but when I was at the cinema I swear one of the actors looked just like that..." His words trailed off as a solemn look rushed over his face. He tried to shake it off and continued "One of those fucking guys Remy ran off with. I swear. It made me feel like I was being haunted by yet another fucking supernatural. Some shapeshifter or some shit"

A mountain of regret and sadness and heartbreak and everything else washed over him which got pressed together into anger. It felt like it was raising in his throat like bile.

"Y'know it's so fucking unfair that Remy just got to immediately move on! So easily!! They didn't have to suffer me like! Nooo they just got new people to be a" He stopped himself "It's just unfair. It's taken me MONTHS just to get far enough to be briefly fucking close to a stranger again and they get to just forget about me immediately to be with that guy and the fucking Janus!? Ugh! Disgusting name. Horrible. All those years together and they just"

He shut his eyes tightly and tried to take a deep breathe. Bela pushed her head against his leg while meowing.

"I gotta go color. You can go fuck off now or something" He mumbled out while rubbing the bridge of his nose. He had meant to say something nicer but trying to say it to you made him feel like he was going to throw up "Bela say bye to the ghost fucker"

Bela let out a loud squawk.

#thanks for the ask <333 #glow eyes

(Hi, me again)

Okay, one sec… aaaaand done! It should all be in place. Also yes Patty I can eat food and I’d love to have some if you’re got some to spare.

I’m good to hang around for a while, although I might have to pop off for a minute to visit a friend but other than that you’ve got my undivided attention.

Glow Eyes

"THAAAnkks ghostie!!" Remus exclaimed.

He and the rest of the gang had just arrived at the art gallery. It was closed for the day so they could put up everything necessary for Remus' exhibition. He looked around and saw that you had neatly put everything you were asked to transport where they should be. He gave you a double thumbs up.

"Great! I'll tell you when it's lunch time then honey" Patty said in response to you. She waved her hand around "Don't worry. You can go visit your friend whenever you want. Rome wasn't built in a day and even though this isn't Rome I'm sure it's gonna take a bit to put it all up"

Logan was rubbing his hands together while looking over some of the buckets of goop you had teleported there. It was one of the projects he had helped Remus on.

"Janus dear, Patty? Do you two want to help me fill the goop room?"

"YES!!" "I would love nothing more"

Even though Logan had ranted many times to both of them about the art installation (Remus had actually named it the goop room) during the making of it he still ranted as his partners helped him place the goop where it was supposed to.

Sometimes Janus forgot just how highly educated both Patty and Logan were before they suddenly started going off on conversations about chemical chain reactions and how atoms reacted to each other. In this case about the goop's atoms. Jan may be well read but they still waited until the other two remembered to translate all the hard jargon for them.

Meanwhile Remus and Rowan carried the smaller paintings up to the second floor. He stood around staring at the rooms from different angles before finally telling his sister where he wanted the paintings to hang.

"Want me to put up an insta story about the exhibition or?" She asked while putting up one of the paintings.

"I don't want half of the city to come. I'll be happy if like 3 rats and Remy show up"

"Okay okay. Remember how kind of a suggestion your dear twin gave you though" She innocently fluttered her eyelashes "You like almost owe me now"

"I'm too sexy for owes"

"I wish your paintings were as 'sexy'. How were you even able to make paintings smell this gross"

"Talent!"

Remus looked at the big painting, the main art piece, still sitting against the wall with a sheet hung over it. It was the one based on Oswald's apartment. He gulped before going down to the first floor.

He stuck his head into the goop room to see Patty be about one inch away from licking the goop while Logan was furiously taking notes.

"MY ART ISN'T AN EMPIRICAL SCIENCE PROJECT YOU FUCKING NERDS!!!" Remus yelled which made them all jump "Jannnniie could you help me with a thing?"

"Sure"

With his hands clasped behind his back so he looked all classy Janus followed Remus up to the upper floor. They went into the more closed off room where Rowan was checking so the projector on the wall worked. It was projecting a short film Rem and Logan had made.

The twins looked at each other and seemed to have a short completely silent conversation before Rowan rolled her eyes and left the room.

"Uhm Jannie?"

"Yes?" They replied while sitting down on the bench in front of the projected film.

"Do you think I'm being sily if I'm kinda scared for" He waves his hand around "This whole thing?"

"I'm not an artist but from all I know showing art can be quite intimate right? It doesn't seem silly to show yourself off in that way"

"It feels like I'm flailing my skin off and showing people as I bleed out" Remus mumbled out while sitting down next to them. He was fiddling with the sheet over the main painting.

The short film showed spiders crawling in and out of a casette player as a song played. As the spiders devoured and destroyed bits and pieces of the player the song slowly distorted more and more. Logan had mostly helped with finding ways to make sure the spiders weren't hurt.

"The song was originally gonna be a song me and....and my...and Os..used to listen to but...while I ws planning as soon as I heard a single note I would just go into absolute fucking flashback hell and I can't really have that on opening night yknow?"

"I like it. I think it still gives off the feeling you wanted to"

Remus blushed a little "Thanks. Do you uhm wanna see the main piece? I haven't showed anyone. I'm so nervous. It's supposed to go on the like poster outside and on those lil free pamhlets people can grab in the reception yknow?"

Janus sent him a relaxed smile "Sure"

He pulled the sheet off and twirled it around in his hands while Janus looked the painting up and down. He was too worried to see their reaction.

"That looks...eerily just like it. I wasn't aware you could paint this detailed"

"It's not my usual style. I wanted it to stick out. I wanted it- I wanted him- that if Os ever saw it he would know it was his home. I- I want it to scare him"

"Oh darling if I was walking around in town and suddenly saw a poster with my apartment on it I would be scared out of my skin. I would be shedding Instantly!"

Remus laughed a little. He squeezed his legs tightly together while nearly hiding his face in the fabric of the sheet "I just....Can I be honest?"

"No. I would despise that obviously...I'm being sarcastic. I would gladly listen"

"..I keep having intrusive thoughts and stupid fucking dreams about him showing up at the art show an-and hurting me. And honestly I get those thoughts whenever I even think of going outside. Not just about him showing up. If we go to eat at a cafe I imagine some person will kidnap me or if we go to the club I think everyone will hurt me. If I do anything. I'm scared. It still feels like it will happen again. All of the time"

Janus searched carefully for words to see if this was a delusion or just fear "....Do you...think there is an actual chance that anything will happen...?"

"I-.....Well...I doubt He even thinks of me anymore and I don't actually think anyone would be into me enough to...to do anything..."

They relaxed ever so slightly "Can you tell me a good way to murder someone?"

Remus was caught off guard but instantly responded with "Cut the vein on the neck. quick. Or cut the tongue out and wait until the person bleeds out. Planning a murder now Jannie?"

"Just looking for ideas in case a certain someone dares to show up at your show"

Janus looked over to meet his eyes before playfully pushing their shoulder against his. Remus broke up into a slight smile.

"Personally I would think going against a guy who has a freak obsession anything gore related to be a strategically bad move" Janus continued "Besides you're just SO frighteningly matcho!!" They let out a fake gasp while putting their hand against their forehead.

"Yeah. Yeah. I get your point" Remus blushed while rolling his eyes "I should look into castration more"

"Atta boy"

"Wanna help me put this up?" Remus asked while motioning to the main painting.

"Of course darling"

The two of them carried it around the second floor until they agreed on a perfect spot. As soon as someone came up onto the second floor they would immediately see it.

Janus held it up while Remus got to laugh maniacally while carefully hammering in the spike it was held on. They joined in by snickering in a sinister way.

"IT'S UP!! VIVA LAS EUREKA!"

The two of them high fived before Janus went in for a hug and Remus went in for a kiss. They both froze and stared at each other awkwardly before Janus went in for a kiss and Remus went in for a hug. They froze again.

"Do you want to like uhm exchange mouth fluids and uhh bacteria?" Remus blurted out.

"Yes. That sounds absolutely lovely" Janus blubbered back.

Neither of them knew who should move first or where to put their hands. Eventually Remus took a deep breathe and kissed them. He felt their hand move up to cup his cheek. His arms hung loosely against his sides before he realized what was happening and they started to happy flap.

Janus' arm moved around his waist to hold him gently but it only made memories pierce through Remus' mind. His mouth wouldn't move to say no but his hands instinctly moved to try and push them away.

Just a nudge made Janus stop and move back "Everything alright dear?"

"Yeah. Just like brainshit. You- oH fuck I already said this but your lips are uh nice"

Remus' brain was running around at olympic records levels of speed as his heart went almost as quickly. His whole chest felt warm. Janus had just...stopped. This was how it was supposed to work wasn't it. His partner was supposed to listen weren't they.

"...So uh would you ever want to like go see a movie or like go garbage hunting or just y'know lightning garbage cans on fire I dunno HaHAHa"

They had planned hang outs dozens of times so both of them felt awfully silly for getting flustered like peaches. He noticed that Janus' foot was uncontrollably tapping down into the ground at immense speed because they were excited.

"SOUNDS GREAT!" They fake coughed and tried to sound suave "...Yeesss soundssss great darling. With or without Remy?"

"There's enough garbage in the city to last multiple dates! We can go multiple times! Some with Remy some just uh us"

"Solid argument. I'll look forward to it"

"Yeah. Uh I'll also be uh looking forward...with my eyes"

The two of them stood and smiled goofily at each other. Both of their cheeks were bright red.

"DUKEY! WE'RE EATING LUNCH! COME UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE OF STARVATION" Rowan yelled from the first floor.

#(u can go visit ur friend if u want. they'll be working all day. u got time for both)#thanks for the ask!#glow eyes
