Remus fell in love with Janus the moment they moved in together.Â
He walked through the door with his arms loaded with half-closed luggage, and when he saw the man standing in the kitchenette, he realized what a mistake he had made responding to the ad. He was thin, with vitiligo paling his otherwise tan skin. His hair was dyed yellow, with floofy bangs that hung in his gray eyes.Â
Without looking back, Janus hummed softly. "Hello, you're certainly not welcome⌠Come in and put your things down? You would be Remus, I presume."
Remus cleared his throat and tried not to stumble over his words. âYep!â He kicked the door shut and dropped his luggages with a loud clatter. âYeah, thatâs me, Remus. Youâre, uh, youâre not Janus, are you?â Surely this was Janusâ super hot boyfriendâ Not someone Remus had to converse with regularly without imagining him⌠Just, never mind.Â
"I am⌠I hope you weren't expecting a femaleâŚ" A frown crossed his face as he turned, showing black painted nails as he tapped his cracked lips. "That would be unfortunate indeed."
Remus coughed. He was, actually. âThatâs not the problem here,â he said cheerfully, quickly averting his gaze from Janusâ nails, his mouth. âThe ad sure didnât warn me Iâd have to be able to withstand sexy roommate syndrome.âÂ
Surprised laughter bubbled from his lips as he leaned on the counter. "Oh, my⌠You're quite a charmer, aren't you? At least you didn't run. I promise not to bite unless asked~?"Â
Remus shuddered. âWhich wayâs my room?â He squeaked. Donât pounce your new roommate. Real shitty first impression.Â
Waving him to follow, he labeled the rooms, opening Remus' door for him. "I do hope you're not afraid of snakes, or the gays~?"
âSnakes?â Remus grinned and bounced after him. âYou have snakes?!âÂ
Nodding, he smiled. "I shall introduce you after you unpack and we eat dinner?"
Remus flushed dark red. âYou want me to eat with you?â His voice came out a little more subdued.Â
Janus nodded with a frown. "Yes? It's rather important to me to make sure people I know are taking care of themselvesâ Just ask the debate team! I bring snacks and water to every practice debate."
âWellâŚâ Remus straightened up with a grin. âThen Iâll help cook!âÂ
Remus rushed back to the front door and grabbed one of his overstuffed suitcases, which had bursted open upon impact, and dragged it towards his room. Dirty laundry, lewd comics, and crinkled sketchbooks trailed behind.Â
Picking up after him, Janus nodded. "That sounds entirely doableâŚ. Split the food budget and alternate dish duty then?"Â
âMhm!â
Remus got all of his shit into his room, and throughout dinner, he had somehow managed to not slobber all over everywhere staring at Janus. He wasnât⌠Entirely prepared for his roommate to be so hot and so gay. So he had fallen pretty fast, and then tucked away any notion of his feelings being returned. For safety.Â
That was pretty simple, until he met Logan.Â
Frowning softly, Logan nearly ran over someone in the sidewalk, stumbling and holding his bag. "Terribly sorry⌠Do you know where 241 is?"
Remus brightened up. Heâd had a pretty shitty morning, what with walking into the kitchenette to find Janus shirtless and somehow Remus spilled hot bacon grease on him, but this boy was extremely cute. Any excuse to get his mind off the embarrassment!Â
âI sure do!â A predatory grin slid over Remusâ face as he squinted up at him, the sun in his eyes. âHeaded there right now, why donât I escort you and keep you safe from all the assholes headed that way?âÂ
"A capital idea indeed⌠Would that indicate that you are also taking anatomy lab at this time?" Falling into step with the smaller boy, a small smile tugged at his lips. He's too cute⌠That streak in his hair, the mustache. I want to know how that would feel. Oh, dear.
âMhm!â Remusâs cheery voice, and his arm wrapping around Loganâs, broke him out of his daze. âRight now and later tonight if youâre up for it!âÂ
Blushing, he nodded. "Perhaps⌠See if you can keep up with me as a lab partner and then we can see if you're still up for more~?"
Remus looked up in surprise. His shitty pickup lines never worked! He laughed a bit. âAre you shitting me?âÂ
"If you are truthfully asking and can put up with my, admittedly very dominating, personality, I see no reason to not try at least a one night arrangement. Unless you were joking and are in fact straight?" He tipped his head gently with a smirk.Â
Remus shivered in excitement. When was the last time he was dommed? He ruffled Loganâs hair and giggled. âI can handle you if you can handle me!â He yanked him into class, picking the seat next to Logan and glaring at anyone who tries to sit near them.Â
Laughing lightly, Logan hummed, setting up his workspace carefully and nudging Remus to do the same. "Focus, show me how well you take direction. Think of it as an interview for the position you desire~?"
Remus grinned. It was the slyest, shittiest way anyoneâs ever convinced him to do his classwork, and he loved it. He couldnât help going home that day with the biggest grin, rushing around to make sure everythingâs ready for Loganâs arrival.Â
Logan had a bounce in his step as he collected some supplies before coming over at precisely the time they had discussed, knocking.
Remus threw the door open with a manic grin. âMy roommate wonât be home for a few hours,â he said as he grabbed Logan by his shirt and yanked him inside. âDo what you will with that. Bedroomâs this way.â
Chuckling, Logan tugged Remus around to stroke his face. "Mmm, then shouldn't you kiss me, Rem~? Show me how much you want to study with meâŚ"
âAnything you say,â he whispered, and shoved their mouths together.Â
Remus hadnât kissed anybody in a long timeâ Several years, in fact. He was probably sloppy, and not the best, but he enjoyed it and fully intended on making it up to Logan with his⌠Obedience.Â
Sighing, Logan took him into his hand, guiding their kiss to press him into the nearest wall, encouraging his mouth to open and humming appreciatively at the taste of mint. Remus whimpered softly. He almost wouldnât mind just doing this until Janus gets home. Logan was more commanding than Remus had really expected, manhandling him around exactly how he wanted, and the way he kissed is nothing short of wonderful.Â
Slowly pulling back, Logan cupped his face with a soft look. "Such a good boy for me⌠Show me to your room, I want to see all of you, my dear. Tell me your safe words, hmm? Also, you preferred term of endearment while you are mine~"
Remus groaned and nearly buckled. âSlut,â he said instantly. âAnd, uh, colour system. This way.â He tugged Logan into his room with shaking hands. It was cleaner than usual, but Remus was still Remus, and there was clutter spread about that he simply hadnât thought of until then.Â
Chuckling, he hums. "Perfect⌠my little slut~!" Giving another deep kiss in praise, he gently spanked Remus' ass. "Put some music on and strip for me, show your dom what he's working with~"
Remus hurried to plug his phone into his speakers with an excited grin.Â
Sitting on the bed, he hummed. "Make me want that ass more, my slut⌠"
Remus stripped for him, and it wasnât exactly a tease so much as it was Remus impatiently tugging off his clothes and looking at Logan with wide, validation-seeking eyes.Â
Sliding his legs apart, showing the erection tenting his pants, Logan crooked his fingers. "Good boy⌠Help me out of my pants and you can suck me as a treat, my lovely one⌠I'm finishing in your sexy ass, though~ "
Remus bounded over and knelt between Loganâs legs, impatiently tugging at his jeans. He got them down to Loganâs knees, yanked his boxers down as well, and ducked down to take Logan into his mouth.Â
"Oh~!" Fingers tangled in the surprisingly soft hair, he moaned out. "Fuck, Remus~! Such a good little slut, aren't you~"
Remus whimpered around his cock, wanting to respond but not daring to pull off. Instead, he pushed deeper, taking all of him.Â
"Yes, you are⌠Swallow too, Rem⌠Want to fuck your throat~" Tugging at his hair, he guided the motion to slowly fuck his mouth.Â
Remus moaned happily and swallowed every few seconds, though mostly drool dripped down his chin. He let his mind float off, gripping Loganâs hips. Had he ever been in subspace before? He didnât think so.Â
Humming, Logan grinned as Remus relaxed, taking over completely to fuck into his throat. "Such a good little slut⌠Earning a treat before the main event~"Â
Remus mumbled something unintelligible around Loganâs cock, eyes rolling back.Â
"Tap once for yes, two for no⌠Your mouth is full~!" Taking him deeper, he hummed, cutting off Remus' air a little more. Remus gagged and rubbed his cock against the blankets, hips stuttering. He tapped hard, once. Logan grinned, thrusting faster. "Going to cum for master, my slut~? Only after I feed you the treat you've earned⌠Master cums first unless you have permission~!"Â
Remus whined and tapped along Loganâs hips in two-tap intervals, hips hunching.Â
"You beg so prettily⌠How can I refuse~? Cum for me, Remus~ " Using his mouth and throat, he moaned out, watching Remus fall apart.
Remus sobbed out as he came, nails digging into Loganâs hips. He didnât pull off, as much as his throat spasmed and his back ached.Â
Stroking the soft hair, Logan moaned, tugging to warn Remus as he came hard. "Oh, fuuuuck~"
Remus inhaled sharply and nearly choked, but forced himself to swallow it down with watery eyes, his cock already hardening back up.Â
Petting him in apology, Logan moaned out, "Sorry, my slut⌠Couldn't hold back with the way you came apart for me~!"Â
Remus leaned into his pets with a little whine. âIt was good,â he rasped, âI liked it.âÂ
Stroking Remus' face, he wiped away the tears, encouraging him up to his lap. "I'm glad⌠"
Remus kissed him sloppily, hands rested on his chest. âNeed you, master,â he mewled.Â
Kissing back, he grinned, petting the wiggling sub. "Mmm, let me get a condom and finish stripping as you present for me, sweetie⌠I'll let you pick whether you see me or I take you from behind~"
Remus bounced out of his lap with an excited giggle, flopping onto his tummy and tucking his knees underneath him. It was the best position heâd ever triedâ Heâd never felt anyone deeper.Â
Logan laughed as he saw the plug, giving Remus a squeeze. "Good boy⌠Do you always wear the plug or is that special for tonight~?"Â
He flushed deep red. Heâd honestly forgotten he had it in⌠âMostly just for tonight, but, um⌠Sometimes, you knowâŚâÂ
Nodding, he stroked the amazing ass presented to him, sliding on a condom and kneeling up. "You need to feel full, claimed? It's okay, my slutâŚ"
Remus clenched and forced up a manic grin to push away the tightness in his chest. âNah, Iâm just a cockslut! Get going?âÂ
Humming, he slid his cock over Remus' crack, teasing the plug as he tugs his hair to pull him into a kiss. "Mmm, it's okay if it's both, Rem⌠I'm definitely down for this to be a repeatable event if you are~ "
Remus canât help it slip out, in a pathetic little whimper: âIâve been that good?âÂ
"Yes, RemâŚ. so good~" Removing the plug as they make out, he pressed in slowly.Â
Remus whimpered and buried his face in the pillows. âAh⌠Yes, master, so good!â
Kissing at Remusâ neck, he took the slim hips with a moan, slowly bottoming out and starting to thrust. "So good for me, my pretty slut~! Oh, Remus~ "
âMaster!â Remus cried out, thrusting back against him. âMaster, harder!âÂ
Growling, he nipped at Remus' neck, thrusts speeding as his fingers tighten on Remus' hips, bucking into him wildly. "Fuuuck, oh yesss⌠take my cock, slut~!"
Remusâs legs fell open and he sobbed into the pillow, coming without warning with a little shout.Â
Nipping his ear, Logan growled, fucking him through the high without pause. "Mmm, that good, hmm~? Break for me, slut⌠Shout my name for the entire building to hear~!"
âLogan!â He whined, squirming and gripping onto the sheets. âAh, Logan, please! Too- Too much!âÂ
Bending to press deeper, Logan chuckled in his ear. "Unless you use a color you will take it exactly as I give it to you, slut~!"
Remus let out a high whine and thrusted back into him wildly. âIâm sorry, master!âÂ
"That's a good boy~! Submit to your master, slut⌠" Working him to that edge again, he eased back when he felt those clenches. "You're mine for as long as I desire to give you my cock and attention~!"
Remus drooled on the pillow as he took Loganâs cock, whimpering. Heâd lay himself out for Logan every ten minutes if he asked him to. He realized with a deep fear settling in his stomach that he would do absolutely anything for Logan, just to keep him around.Â
Nuzzling his neck and shoulders, Logan spanked him. "Stay in the now even when you're floating, slut⌠focus~!"Â
âSorry,â he gasped, âIâm sorry, master!â
Taking a moment to kiss his ear, Logan hummed. "I knowâŚ. Just don't want to lose you to the past or bad thoughts⌠Stay here, feel good with me, Rem~!"
âYes, sir! Itâs so good! Can I please come again, please please?âÂ
Grinning, he sped his thrusts again. "Clench for me, make me cum and you can cum with me, Rem~"
Remus clenched down with a whimper, the pillow under his face soaking wet.Â
Moaning out, Logan thumbed him open wider, watching him take his cock deep. "On three, petâŚ. One⌠TwoâŚ" Remus gasped and fought desperately to hold on. Pressing in deep, he slammed against Remusâ prostate, and came with a moan. "Three~"
Remus came with a sob and a shout of Loganâs name and title, pressing his face deep in the pillow.Â
Janus paused with his hand on their front doorknob. Logan� Is that Remus?!
Logan moaned out and grinned, burning the noise and feeling of Remus coming, laid out under him, into his memory as he filled the condom. He kissed and marked Remus up, hips slowly moving to ride the high. "Oh, gods! Remus, such a good boy~"
Remus moaned brokenly, his knees giving out to leave him flat on the mattress. âMaster,â he managed.Â
Logan stroked Remus' face and tipped it for a kiss, shifting their positions to settle him in his lap after pulling out and discarding the condom. "Good boy, such a good boy⌠So proud of you! Show master where the water is, sweetie?"
âKitchen,â he mumbled, blushing bright red at the praise. âYou can just leave me at the table, I can take care of it.â
Frowning, he shook his head, picking him up for more cuddles and heading for the bathroom instead. "No⌠You're worthy of aftercare, my dear oneâŚ"Â
âWhat?â Remus buried his face in Loganâs shoulder. âYou donât have to. I can handle it.â
Petting him with a hum as he filled a glass, he smiled. "Remus⌠Look at me? I would be a terrible dom of I EVER left a sub without aftercare⌠and I am not that kind of person. You are worthy, and you were such an amazing boy for me!"Â
Remus covered his face. âThank you, master,â he whispered.Â
Nuzzling, he smiled. "You're welcome⌠Show me your face, dear? You need to drink some waterâŚ"
Remus obeyed, drinking all the water Logan gave him. He didnât realize how dry his throat was.Â
Stroking his cheek, he smiled, refilling the glass and offering it again. "Good⌠More. Relax into me, sweetie⌠Enjoy the careâŚ"
Remus had never had aftercare before. He decided he enjoyed it. âYes, sir,â he mumbled, sipping some more water. Then, as quietly as possible, âIâm hungryâŚâ
Nuzzling, he smiled. "In a moment, dearâŚ" Taking a cloth, he dampened it, cleaning them up a bit. "I know you said your roommate was unlikely to return, but⌠at least a blanket for you?â
âHeâs seen me naked before. I sleep naked, and sleepwalk.â
Chuckling, he nuzzled lightly. "Mmm, for me then? Warmth and softness feels good as you come back to earth after a session, dear."
âYes, sir.â He blushed and nuzzled back into him. âAnything you want.â
Heart clenching, he sighed. "You're so sweetâŚ" Lifting again, he carried Remus back to retrieve a blanket, making him into a burrito. "Tell me what you're hungry for?"
âWaffles,â he said instantly. âI have frozen ones in the freezer. Theyâre blueberry.âÂ
Nodding, he scooped Remus into his arms after slipping his boxers on, missing the sound of the other bedroom door shutting carefully. "Waffles it is, then. Butter, syrup? Perhaps some time I can make you fresh ones~?"
âWe donât have a waffle maker,â Remus said sadly.Â
Humming, he lifted his chin. "Ah, but I do⌠That was an invitation to my place, for next time~"
He lit up. âOkay!â He grinned and pecked his lips. âSure!â
Kissing back softly, Logan laughed, and got started making the waffles. "Wonderful! You're entirely too precious to be just one night⌠"
Remus sniffled and forces his grin to stay up. âNo⌠Youâre probably just desperate.â He laughed. âIâm an easy fuck, you donât have to pretend Iâm not!âÂ
"RemusâŚ" Cupping his face, he sighed. "Was it easy to see that we had a common interest in hooking up, yes⌠However, I also admire your keen mind. I was attracted right off the bat, but I would like to see more of you. As friends, or friends with benefits, or more if that's where the path leads usâŚ"
Remusâ grin faltered as he met Loganâs eyes. It took all he has not to burst into tearsâ What a shitty, pathetic way thatâd be to end their night. âDo you wanna⌠Sleep over?âÂ
Gathering him into a hug, he smiled. "If your roommate is okay with it, sure. How about a movie night and cuddles?"
He grinned. âI have a lot of movies! Iâm sure Jan-Jan wonât mind, heâs super laid back.âÂ
Arching an eyebrow, he chuckled. "Must be if he lets you call him that⌠But I have an idea that you'd call him nicknames even if he said not to?"
Remus pouted. âNicknames are my love language.â He hesitated, fiddling with his fingers. âDo you⌠Not want me to call you nicknames?â
Humming, he lifted Remus' face. "Don't magnify my fond tease to an expression of dislike, Rem⌠I don't mind one bit!"Â
Janus listened near the door of his room, debating on going to the kitchen as his stomach twisted into knots. What is this feeling⌠Jealousy, but of whom?!Â
âOkay,â he mumbled with a cute smile. His stomach growled loudly.Â
Chuckling as the toaster sprung the waffles up, he stole a kiss. "Now⌠Butter, syrup, or both⌠And yes I will be cutting them up and feeding you while you sit on my lap, my pretty little one!"Â
He blushed bright red. âY-yes, sir⌠Both, pleaseâŚâ
Logan slathered them up, cutting them for him as he slid Remus over into his lap. "Looks good, hmm? Open up!" Remus opened, hands rested on Loganâs chest. Logan smiled as he fed him gently. "Such a good boy!"
âNo,â Remus whined. âNuh-uh.â
Kissing his cheek, he smiled sadly. "Why not?"
Remus looked away with a little shrug. âYouâve seen it.â
Tipping his chin back to feed another bite, he hummed. "Pretend I'm an idiot. Explain to me why you're not a good boy deserving of praise?"
Remus hesitated. âDo I have to?â He asked in a small voice.Â
"No, you don't have to⌠I'm too curious for my own good sometimes." He stroked Remusâ cheek. "However, if you want to talk about things, I will listen. Iâll try to make you feel better."
For the millionth time that night, Remus could cry. âShut up,â he mumbled with a sniffle.Â
Smiling, he cuddled Remus close. "It is okay to use me as a literal shoulder to cry on, Rem⌠No judgement."
âI donât need to cry,â he insisted.Â
Breathing out, Janus decided to make his presence known, stepping into the kitchen as if summoned by the lie. "Whyever wouldn't you? Crying is healthy and a good releaseâŚ"Â
Jumping a little, Logan cleared his throat. "IndeedâŚ" Janus is his roommate? Oh, gosh.Â
Remusâ heart dropped. âJan-Jan? When- How long have you been home?â His skin crawled in embarrassment. The dried tears still stuck to his face from earlier, wrapped in a blanket, and sat on a boyâs lap⌠He probably looked pathetic.Â
Smiling, Janus stroked his hair lightly. "Mmm, if you're asking if I heard you two making friends⌠I did⌠I'm a tad jealous, he's cuteâŚ"Â
Logan blushed softly. "Remus is adorable indeedâŚ"
Remusâ face turned bright red. He buried his face in Loganâs shoulder. âSorry, Janus⌠We wouldnât have been so loud if we knew you were home.âÂ
Logan pet him softly, embarrassed, but chose to focus on Remus, helping him hide.Â
Janus sighs softly, flushing lightly. "Remus⌠It's okay. Truly.â Then, he mumbled, âIt covered up my moans nicelyâŚ"
Remus blinked. âHuh?â
Logan chuckled. "I believe we gave him, uh, motivation to touch himself, my dearâŚ."Â
Janus nodded, blush deepening. "The nerd's right⌠"
It didnât quite compute in Remusâ head, until he forced it to make sense with a nod. âLogan is a really good dom, isnât he?â He blushed and looked up at Logan. He was so handsome, and hot, and commanding⌠He didnât blame Janus for wanting him, too.Â
Janus resisted the urge to facepalm. "He did seem to elicit quite a reaction from youâŚ" Damnit, you dense man! I wanted to be him, not fuck him!!Â
Logan laughed softly. Oh my⌠Janus has a crush on RemusâŚ
âHe made me waffles,â Remus said with a delighted grin. âAnd heâs been really sweet afterwards⌠If you two hit it off, maybe he can make you feel good, too, Jan-Jan! Have you ever had aftercare before?âÂ
âYou- Youâve never had aftercare before?! How?!â Janus tripped over his words, looking over Remus and stroking through his hair. âWe can get a waffle maker⌠Do you want more?âÂ
Logan muffled a laugh, stealing a bite before offering Remus more. "I know, right? I want to find those negligent domsâŚ"Â
Together they finished with a low growl, "-and beat some sense into them!"
Remus, startled, looked between the two of them and wilted. âIs it⌠A common thing?â He managed.Â
Cuddling Remus, Logan nodded. "It is supposed to be⌠As it was explained to me, a dominant partner takes the power gifted by the submissive to make their scene reality, but aftercare is the return of that power?"Â
Janus nodded. "It also gives the pair time to relax, make sure that both are okay? Especially if there was a lot of degrading language or impact play, sometimes a dom needs reassurance that they didn't go too hard, and the sub is truly okay."
Remus nodded slowly. He wanted to explain that he didnât need that, not really⌠But he didnât want to. He yawned and curled into Loganâs chest, nuzzling up under his chin.Â
Smiling, Logan petted his hair and offered another bite of waffle. "Even if you think that you don't need it, it's a good thing for both scene partners, Rem."
âMm,â he mumbled. âJan-Jan, we were gonna watch some movies, do you want to join? You donât have any early classes tomorrow, do you?â Remus glanced at the clock. It was getting close to 11.Â
Janus hummed thoughtfully. "I have a ten o'clock⌠But I think one movie would be alright."Â
âYay!â Remus doubted he could even stay awake for longer than one movie, so that was perfect. He nuzzled into Logan again then stood on wobbly legs, and nearly fell over.Â
Logan chuckled and scooped him up with a soft kiss. "I think I broke your legs, Rem~!"
He giggled and blushed, looking over at Janus. âWhoops.â This is so embarrassing⌠What does Janus think of me now?
Janus snorted, reaching over to stroke Remus' cheek. "It is a good look on himâŚ. Being cared for. Just relax, Remus⌠I'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."
If Remus could blush brighter, he would. Since moving in with Janus, he had seen every form of not-self care Remus took part in, ranging anywhere from unhealthy meals, skipping classes, and degrading comments about himself. Janus always made a fuss, but Remus didnât think he meant it that strongly.Â
Nodding, Janus grabbed a blanket and the remote, working with a blushing Logan to get them settled with Remus in the middle, draped over Logan's chest. "Indeed⌠you just lay on me and relax, RemâŚ"Â
âYes, sir,â he breathed before he could really think about it, eyes fluttering shut as he snuggled into Loganâs chest.Â
Logan's heart squeezed as he kissed Remus on the head, not noticing Janus frown in jealousy. Why is it him that gets you to relax and take my advice on care⌠Remus, why not me?!!
Remus only lasted halfway through the movie before passing out, little snores blowing out his mouth.Â
Janus inspected his nails, refusing to let his anger seep into his hushed voice as he asked, âSo I assume you guys are dating now?âÂ
Stiffening, Logan finished tucking Remus into bed and turned, voice cold and hushed. "Shall we discuss in the living room so we won't disturb him?"
Janus rolled his eyes but obeyed, leading Logan into the kitchenette and starting on a mug of coffee.Â
Following after retrieving his clothes and dressing, Logan took a mug and sipped. "We hadn't discussed anything like that⌠And I don't think he's ready. He was certain that this was a one night hookup and that I would leave after. I intend to work up to at least friends with benefits, but I assume you want him as well?"
Janus stiffened. âRemus is my best friend, nothing more. Wouldnât dating him prove that heâs more than just a hookup to you? What do you mean âheâs not ready?ââ He scoffed. âI see the way he looks at youâ Hell, I see the way he looks at everyone. Heâs just waiting for a boyfriend to drop into his lap. Are you sure itâs him thatâs not ready, or were you just not prepared for the commitment?âÂ
Growling softly, Logan's fingers tightened on the mug. "He's not emotionally ready⌠I wouldn't want to take advantage of that raw need! Do I want him to be mine, definitely! He's a lovely submissive, but he didn't even know about aftercare! He needs friends first, an education on what it would mean for him⌠I want his informed consent, not a moldable puppet, Janus!"
Janus didnât seem convinced. âAnd somehow you believe thatâs impossible to do in a committed relationship⌠Thatâs fine. Keep dragging him along. Iâll be here when youâre not.âÂ
Logan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine, I'm terrified that I'm not enough for him. I saw how he looked at you, too⌠You can't tell me that he doesn't want both of us!"
Janus looked at him in surprise, then sighed as well. âDonât fool yourself, Logan. He wants anybody who gives him the smallest bit of attention. He doesnât actually want either of us.âÂ
He tapped the table with a deep frown. "That's a fair observation⌠Hence my reservation to commit and then have him run to the next person. However, if it were you, I wouldn't mind sharing, perhaps."
Janusâs face turned pink. He sipped his coffee and then turned away, busying himself with cleaning up. âYou donât have to say that. He chose you.â
Smirking, he smacked Janusâ ass lightly. "PerhapsâŚ. I can't say I haven't looked at you, either~!"
Janus whipped around with a jump, face red. For the first time since Loganâs met him, he was flustered. âWh- What?â
Adjusting his glasses, he hummed. "I had assumed you were far too dominant to attempt to obtain, but now I'm uncertain. Remus believed you were jealous of himâŚ"Â
Janus crossed his arms over his chest and sneered. âRemus is an idiot. Heâs the most dense man Iâve ever met.â
"Is he? Or is that you?" Stepping in closer, he watched the reactions of the other man as he closed him in against the counter.
Janusâs eyes flitter around, landing on somewhere close to Remusâ room. âWhat does it matter? Has Remus told you heâs okay with not being exclusive?â
"We didn't discuss our relationship as yet⌠I know I'm poly and pan⌠But I need to talk with him. If he agrees, what say you, Jan-Jan~?" Reaching out, he stroked Janus' cheek softly.
Janus barely stopped himself from melting into the touch. âWeâll see,â he mumbled, looking away.Â
"Agreed, but know that I'm open to the idea?" Petting softly when he doesn't get a flinch, he smiled.Â
Janus brushed his hand off and stepped away. âYou should get back to him,â he murmured. âHeâll freak if he wakes up.âÂ
Nodding, he stepped back, heading back to Remus. "Sleep well, JanusâŚ"
âThanks,â he muttered, and hurried to his room.Â
When Logan went back into Remusâ room, Remus shot upwards and poorly tried to wipe away the tears before they could be seen. âJan-?â
"Oh, dearâŚ" Sliding into the bed after sliding out of his clothes, he hummed, taking Remus in his arms. "I'm sorry, Rem, I believed you to be asleep and didn't want to bother your rest."
Remus snuggled into his chest. âIâm okay,â he promised. His face was still wet. âI thought you left?â
"I promised to stay the night, dear⌠Janus simply wanted a chat." Stroking his hair, he encouraged Remus to cuddle, wiping the tears.
âOhâŚâ Remus kissed his cheek. âI hope youâre getting along. Janus is my best friend.â
Smiling, he nuzzled lightly. "I know, dear⌠He was very concerned about us, this, uh, relationship⌠What do you want us to be, my dear?"Â
Remus hesitated. âI want whatever you want.âÂ
He stroked Remusâ hair as he thought. "I don't want to take advantage of you⌠You're beautiful, and I want to take care of you, but I worry that you need more balance than a one on one relationship. Now, I am polyamoirous and pansexual, so⌠you simply need to communicate your needs. Do you want me to be your dominant, your boyfriend?"
Butterflies practically exploded in Remusâ stomach. âYou want to be boyfriends?â He asked excitedly.Â
Cupping his face, he smiled and lifted Remusâ to meet his eyes. "I would be honored to be your boyfriend, Remus,â he said firmly, âif you'll have me?"Â
Remus nodded frantically, and kissed Logan messily. Kissing back with equal fervor, Loganâs fingers slid into his hair to guide the kiss. Mine~
Remus whimpered and wrapped his arms around Loganâs waist. âIâm so glad I met you,â he breathed out.Â
Snuggling Remus close, he nodded, kissing his forehead. "Me too, my precious."
Remus fell asleep in his arms, smiling.
