《The Snake In My Dreams》Ch. 30

"So, both of our dates...?"
"Yup! I ruined both of them!" Remus chirped. "I sabotaged the chocolates, I made all those people appear! Everything that went wrong was my fault!"
"Oh..." Janus murmured. "And all of that was so...?"
"So you could leave Roman." Remus nodded. "Because I love you, Janus. I love you way more than my brother could."
"I'm still finding it hard to process." Janus chuckled. "I mean, what makes me so special?"
"Well you're witty, and you're smart, and kind, and charming." Remus listed off, flushing slightly. "And you're just so perfect."
Janus blushed ferociously. "I-I'm not like that, really. You're making me out to be this amazing person--"
"You are an amazing person, Jan-Jan." Remus took Janus' hands in his. "You're the most amazing person."
"Remus..." Janus mumbled, getting lost in his eyes.
"I've never felt like this about anyone before." Remus told him. "And I know what I did was wrong, but I just couldn't stand the thought of you two together."
Remus sighed, smiling slightly. "It felt like a nightmare. I wanted nothing more than to kiss you, and hug you, and hold you." Remus shook his head. "But I couldn't, because you were with my brother."
His smile brightened. "But none of that matters now, because you're here with me." He released Janus' hands. "And that finally gives me the chance to say..."
Remus took a deep breath. He summoned a bouquet of sunflowers. They all died, except for one.
He held that one out to Janus. "Janus Sanders, I'm madly in love with you. Every second I'm not with you, it feels like I'm going to die!"
Janus stared wide eyed at Remus, face beet red. "I...don't know what to say."

"Then don't say anything." Remus told him, placing a hand on Janus' cheek. He leaned in.
And the next second, they were kissing.
It was different than before. When Janus was drunk, it felt more needy, desperate.
But now, it was gentle. Raw, passionate.
Remus pulled away. His eyes widened as he realized all at once,
Janus thought the exact same thing.
"We've done this before." He mumbled, furrowing his brow.
Remus' eyes widened. "What...?"
"We've kissed before." Janus murmured, backing away slightly. "When did we...?"
Janus' eyes suddenly enlarged, a horrified look taking over his features. "Oh my god!" He cried out.
"Shit."
"We--you and I--" Janus stammered, tears of disgust beginning to form. "You took advantage of me!"
"You were more than willing to reciprocate." Remus defended himself.
"Oh my god, I cheated on Roman!" Janus whispered, knees buckling. "No, no, no!"
"Hey, calm down." Remus told him, kneeling down in front of Janus. "It's okay."
"It is not okay!" Janus screamed, shoving Remus away. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me?!" Remus echoed. "I'm not the one who cheated!"
"You raped me." Janus hissed, tears spilling over his eyes. "I trusted you."
"That wasn't rape!" Remus shouted. "You gave me consent!"
"I was drunk!"
"Consent is consent, Janus. You can say I raped you all you want, it won't change the fact that we had a mutual agreement."
"Why didn't you stop me?!" Janus yelled. "You were completely sober!"
"I--"
"Just--stay away from me!" Janus cried, standing up. He sunk out, a look of betrayal in his eyes.
Remus scowled. "Fuck!" He exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air.

Remus appeared in his room, a frustrated look on his face.
He looked around, trying to find something to throw.
He decided on the lamp.
He threw it at the wall. It shattered on impact, breaking into dozens of pieces.
What next?
Next was some books on his shelf.
He didn't pay attention to the titles as he flung them at the wall.
Now what?
He went to grab a plant in his room.
Just as he was about to pick it up, he noticed something in the pot.
He picked it up.
It appeared to be a note.
Hey Remus, sorry for not listening to you earlier.
I hope you weren't looking for urgent advice, then I would feel more guilty than I already do. I'm just writing this to let you know that I'm always here for you. Feel free to talk to me about anything.
Love,
Janus
Remus stared at the note for a bit, a blank expression on his face.
If anyone asked, Remus would say that he didn't collapse into tears.
He didn't curl in on himself, slumping down to the floor.
He absolutely didn't.
---
Roman heard a knock at his door.
He opened it, and was immediately greeted by a pair of lips on his.
Janus pulled away. "It's you. It's always been you."
"What are you saying?" Roman asked, slightly dazed.
"I'm in love with you, Ro." Janus told him. "I could never leave you."
Roman's eyes widened. "But what about Remus?"
"Fuck Remus." Janus sneered. "I want you. I need you. I'm a fucked up person, Ro. I've done bad things, but you are the one thing that I've got going for me. I love you, Roman. I love you so much."
A relieved smile found its way to Roman's face. "I love you too."
Janus grabbed Roman by the collar, smashing their lips together once again.

The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness
"Ride this, my beloved consort!" Instantly rewarded with a punch in his charming face. He looked hurt, "I just wanted you to try out the mythical beast mount!" Having died a cruel and excruciating death in her past incarnation, she was reborn into a body imbued with an impeccable talent for cultivation. A good-for-nothing? Fire, water, ice, wind, thunder, and nature; switching between the six elements is easy as pie. Supreme grade pills? She scatters them in the air like candies. Legendary beasts? They're begging her to form a contract. She is the arrogant Queen almighty! You say that heaven is undefiable? Then she will defy it! "Bad news, my Lord! The consort has beaten the Empress of the Heavenly Phoenix Nation into a pulp!" He raised an eyebrow and brimmed of pride, "It's nothing. Send a million troops to back up my beloved consort. Tell them that I'm the one who's pampering her!"

8 124Enigmatic: Sapphire City Supers
**A Wattpad Featured Story** Kenna Jones isn't a Superhero, and she wants to keep it that way. Though her brother, Sebastien, is a star member of the Sapphire City Super team, Kenna keeps her Super abilities to herself and far away from a celebrity lifestyle she finds selfish and disillusioning. For reasons she'd rather forget, she can't stand most Supers, and uses her mildly famous pen name as a kind of secret identity instead. One evening, fiercely independent Kenna meets the new guy, Enigma, in the most annoying circumstances, and finds him slowly chipping away at her prejudices. Then, with Villains on the loose, threatening to foist a great Evil (with a capital E) on Sapphire City and those she holds dear, Kenna has to ask herself one question: is it time for everything to change?

8 114Fire and Shadows. Legend of the breaker. (Hiatus until ??)
Traditions lost, books burned, ancient knowledge forever spurned. It began with fire, the great Sirionean, all dominating desert creating pyre. And it ended thusly just aswell, t'was the great Empire's deathknell. The crackling of the burning books, dangling corpses on rusty hooks. The yellow streets of Heabury proper, colored red with human copper. -? S.V, Scholar of Dawn.' -- Author note: Hi, SeV here. I'm not a fan of writing my entire story premise in the synopsis. For that, read the prologue and chapter 1. Suffice it to say that I think it's a cool idea and I already have a few things planned and a world sort of formed in my mind. I like Epic fantasy, lightnovels with OP MCs, Litrpg, sci-fi, any many other things. This story is written for myself, so it may include all sorts of diffent elements and character interactions and even experimental things that I'm trying out as a writer in order to improve. My intention with this is to pretty much post as I write, and acquire feedback from you folks in the process. I of course hope you like my story, but feel free to criticize anything since this is a project to improve myself. Even if it isn't strictly criticism, any feedback positive or negative is welcome since I am interested in what other people think of my writing style and what I can improve on. Since it's growing generically I'll be interested in your thoughts and speculations on future events and any suggestions moving forward will be taken into consideration. Hope you enjoy my stuff. - SeV
