《The Snake In My Dreams》Ch. 18

"Hi, Lo-Lo~!"
"Ah, Remus." Logan mumbled, not taking his eyes away from his computer.
It had been about a week since Janus and Roman's date, and Remus had been informed by Janus that they were having another one in a couple of days.
"Did you need something?" Logan asked, glancing over at him briefly before snapping his eyes back to the screen.
"Yeah," Remus hummed, plopping down on Logan's bed. "Whatcha working on?"
"I'm proofreading Roman's script for the next skit." Logan murmured.
"Proofreading? What's that?"
"You're joking, correct?" Logan rose a brow, looking over at him. Remus tilted his head, but didn't reply. "You seriously don't know what proofreading is?"
"Well, sorry." Remus snorted. "Enlighten me, Wise Guy. What is proofreading?"
"To put it simply," Logan sighed, looking back at the computer. Remus walked over to Logan, and looked at the computer over his shoulder. "I'm checking for any errors in Roman's transcript."
"Errors?"
"Grammatical errors, logical errors, things of that calibre." Logan mumbled, typing something. "If I spot one, I fix it. It's as simple as that."
"Oh! Like when I said I wanted to deep throat the Eiffel Tower and you said 'that is not physically possible' all serious like!" Remus chirped.
"Exactly like that." Logan hummed, nodding slightly. He finished typing, and spun his chair around to face Remus. "So, what can I do for you?"
"So, remember when I asked you about a plan for splitting a couple up?" Remus smirked. "I have a little update on that."
"Oh joy." Logan grumbled. "And what is it?"
"Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that someone tried to stop you from doing this plan. What would you do?" Remus asked.

"Stop me? Explain how they would go about doing that." Logan rubbed his chin, and Remus could tell he was thinking. "Are they physically trying to stop me, or preventing my plan?"
"The latter."
"I would continue with my plan, paying them no mind." Logan shrugged, crossing his arms. Remus rose a brow, tilting his head.
"That's not what I expected. Why would you do that?" Remus rose a brow.
"As long as I can outsmart them, or finish my plan before they can do any real harm, they won't be of any harm." Logan turned back to his computer. "Is that all?"
"Outsmart them, huh?" Remus mumbled, crossing his arms. "Yeah, I think that's all. Thanks Lo-Lo!"
"You are welcome." Logan nodded, beginning to type something. Just as Remus was about to sink out, Logan suddenly turned back to him. "Oh, Remus! Before you leave..." He trailed off, pursing his lips.
"...yes?" Remus asked, raising a brow.
"Actually, nevermind." Logan shook his head, turning back to his computer. "Have a nice day, Remus."
"I'll try not to!" Remus chirped, sinking out.

"Roman!"
Roman whipped around, spotting Virgil walking towards him. "Hmm? What is it, Hot Topic?"
"Roman, there's something I have to tell you." Virgil told him, crossing his arms. "It's about Remus."
"My brother?" Roman asked, giving Virgil his full attention. "Is he alright? Did something happen?"
"He's fine." Virgil shook his head.
"Then can it wait? I have to get ready for my date--" Roman slapped a hand over his mouth. "Uh, I mean--"
"Chill, I already know." Virgil rolled his eyes. "And speaking of which, Remus--"
"Wait, what? Who told you?" Roman asked, furrowing his brow. "Was it Janus? I thought he wanted to keep it a secret?"

"No, I--it doesn't matter!" Virgil crossed his arms. "Listen, Remus has--"
"I'm sorry, Virgil. I really must be going." Roman shot him an apologetic smile.
"But--Roman--"
"Sorry!" Roman briskly walked away, causing Virgil to frown.
Virgil huffed, crossing his arms.

"Did you talk to him?" Patton asked the second Virgil popped into the common room.
"I tried to." Virgil grumbled, slumping onto the couch next to Patton. "He kept interrupting me."
"Aww, that's alright. We can tell him later." Patton hummed, leaning his head against Virgil's chest.
"That's what you said last time." Virgil frowned. "And the time before that."
"It's a wonder how Roman manages to stay so busy."
"I'm tired of counting on 'later,' Pat. Roman deserves to know now. It's his relationship!" Virgil sighed.
"I know, Virge. But if Roman has somewhere else to be, then we can't stop him." Patton sighed. "Just relax. It'll all turn out fine."
"Relax? You're aware of who you're talking to, yes?" Virgil asked. Patton giggled, and Virgil couldn't help a fond smile from finding its way to his face. "Ugh, fine. You're lucky you're cute."
"That's the spirit, Vee! Now, let's go stop Remus!"
---
"Perfect." Roman sighed, looking at his creation.
He was stood in the center of a large, elegant ballroom. Aside from Roman, no one else was present.
He had provided a chocolate fountain (making sure to taste test the hell out of it.) He wanted to make up for the last date, it had been eating him alive.
"Roman?"
He turned around, spotting Janus standing there. He looked nervous, but happy to be there.
"Hey!" Roman chirped, walking over. "I remember you told me once that you learned ballroom dancing." Roman smiled.
"No way! We're going to--" Janus smiled brightly, and Roman couldn't help but grin too.
"Yup! I know you don't like crowded spaces, so it'll be just the two of us." Roman offered Janus a hand. "So, may I have this dance?"
"You may." Janus chuckled, taking his hand.
Neither noticed Remus, hiding underneath the table with the food on it.
