《The Snake In My Dreams》Ch. 22

Remus sunk out, waiting two seconds, and appeared in the living room.
Janus was sat on the couch, his face in his hands. He hadn't noticed Remus yet.
"Hey Jan-Jan!" Remus chirped. Janus jumped, looking up at him.
"Oh, hey Ree." He gave Remus a weak smile.
"Is something wrong?" Remus asked, sitting down next to him.
Janus' composure immediately broke, and he fell into sobs. Remus frowned, wrapping his arms around Janus.
Remus smirked a little, but other than that gave no hints that he was enjoying this.
He rubbed Janus' back soothingly, letting him cry into his shoulder. They stayed like that for about ten minutes, before Janus finally pulled away.
"Sorry..." Janus murmured, wiping his eyes.
"Don't be." Remus shook his head. "What happened?" He asked, as if he didn't already know.
"Just..." Janus waved his hand around, either gesturing to the direction Roman went or the idea of what he wanted to say. "...relationship problems."
"Trouble in paradise, eh?" Remus hummed. He snapped his fingers, and bottle of wine appeared in his hands. "We'll be needing a lot of these."
---
"--and I don't know WHY he thinks it was you!" Janus slurred, taking another swig from the bottle.
Remus watched in mild amusement. Janus had downed about five bottles by now. Remus hadn't even gotten to touch one before Janus started chugging.
"Like--YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE!" Janus exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. "And you would never do that to me! Like--you and me? Bros. Bros. We're bros, right?"
"Right." Remus nodded, chuckling slightly.
"And--" Janus took another swig. "--who needs Roman, huh?!"
"Yeah!"
"In fact, I don't need anyone!" Janus took yet another swig. "Who needs relationships?!"

"No!" Remus yelled. Janus shot him a quizzical look. "I...mean...don't you think you're being a little too impulsive about this?"
"Maybe. I'm drunk." Janus pouted, bringing the bottle up to his lips. "But I'm just so PISSED OFF!" He screamed, throwing his hands in the air again. He grumbled something under his break and began chugging the rest of the bottle.
"So what are you going to do?" Remus asked. "Are you going to break up with him?"
That caused Janus to pause his chugging, glancing down at the floor. "I--" He frowned. "No."
"Why not?!" Remus yelled. Janus huffed, before taking a sip.
"I love him." Janus admitted, shaking his head. "And even though he's pissed me off, I can't bring myself to leave him."
Remus scowled. It seems like he had more work cut out for him.
"Why are we talking about Roman, anyways?" Janus finished the bottle off. He held out his hand. Remus rolled his eyes, and made him another one.
"Why indeed." Remus grumbled.
"Thanks for listening to me, Ree. You're a good friend." Janus took a long sip. "You get me."
"Of course, I understand you way more than Roman ever could." Remus told him.
What? Janus was drunk. He wouldn't remember this anyways.
"Yeah," Janus yawned, suddenly tired. He hiccuped, taking another gulp. "You're so good to me, Ree."
Janus leaned against Remus, blinking slowly. "Do you think I'm good enough for Roman?"
"What?" Remus asked, furrowing his brow.
"I mean--Roman is so...talented, charismatic, brave, and strong. And I'm just...me." Janus huffed, taking a swallow. "I just feel like he could do better."
"Janus..." Remus mumbled.
"I don't know what Roman sees in me. I'm a liar, for god's sake. I know I'm supposed to be Self-Preservation, but sometimes..." He sighed. "I dunno."

"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you." Remus hummed. Janus snorted, taking another sip.
"How do you see me, Remus?"
"I see the smartest, wittiest, most charming, side I know. You're perfect, Janus. Inside and out." Remus told him, smiling gently. "You're there for me whenever my thoughts become too much. You took me in when everyone else turned me away. You've been my number one fan since day one."
Janus looked up at Remus, eyes widening. "You really see me like that?"
"Of course I do." Remus rolled his eyes. "Because I love you."
"I love you too, Ree." Janus hummed, relaxing into Remus' side.
"No, Janus." Remus gulped. "I'm in love with you."
Janus stiffened. "...what?"
Remus turned Janus so he was facing him. "Janus Sanders, I'm in love with you."
And Remus crashed his lips onto Janus'.
Janus froze, before melting into it.
Was Remus taking advantage of a very drunk person? Yes.
Does he regret this decision? No.
Janus grabbed Remus by the soldiers, and pinned him onto the couch, their lips never separating.
Remus wrapped his hands around Janus' waist, pulling him closer.
They both pulled away, gasping for air.
"Remus," Janus slurred. "I don't wanna think about Roman right now. Make me forget about him."
"With pleasure." Remus smirked, unhooking Janus' capelet.
---
Janus woke up with a massive hangover. He groaned, bringing a hand up to his head.
He looked around, finding that he was in his room.
What the fuck had happened?
He looked down, and yelped when he realized he was completely nude.
His clothes were in a pile on the floor.
He looked around, and luckily found no one else in the room.
He released a breath, wondering what could have happened to make him end up like this.
The last thing he remembers is Remus offering him a bottle of wine, and then nothing.
Janus smiled softly to himself, getting up to pick up his clothes.
Remus really was a good friend.

[2/6/20 : Major rewrites and restrucuring for Chapters 1-4]Framed for the murder of his landlady, sixteen year old Arahn Keys has been sentenced to death. A last minute reprieve comes in the form of the slightly mad cartographer Calan’dal, who hires him and four other death row inmates as bodyguards for his dangerous expedition into the bowls of a labyrinthine dungeon known as the Descarrian Abyss. Should they succeed in helping the deranged elf reach his goal, the legendary Heart of the Abyss, Arahn and his fellow criminals will be free to go.

Together they descend into the Abyss, knowing they will have to work together or else perish in the bowels of the dark labyrinth, becoming victims of the deadly traps and ferocious creature’s legend to reside within.

A generic love story: disturbance
To escape the boring dogma that society presents, many choose to turn away and bathe in a fictional world with fantastic fantasies. There they are awed by the great heroes and villains; by great battles between powerful forces, and by things that the real world didn`t seem to hold. But by doing so, they cruely ignored the pains and suffering of actual human beings, as well as the real threat humans can pose to eachother under extreme but still very real conditions. What many failed to realise, is the fact that unspeakable evil is very much doable by a mere anybody, and with that, the terrifying things a human can do when their mind is twisted. This story is a pathetically poor, but still a desperate attempt to reveal the depths of human emotions and what they can drive us to do. Following Sougo Kyoya, a boy with a tragic past and violent future, the story will deliver hard to understand martial arts and psychological behavior, masochism, and BDSM smut scenes. notes: "character`s conversations" (character`s thoughts) *sound effects* [author`s notes] Credits to BlackTea and Pingster for contributing ideas and editing.
