TW: Slightly Unsympathetic Roman, twins fighting,

-A few days later-

Third Person POV

Janus was face down in their bed. "Why does everything have to be confusing?!" They yelled, the sound muffled by the pillow their face was planted in.

Irra came into Janus' room knowing his mom was either working or about to nap. "Mom? Are you okay?" He asked. "No." Janus answered.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Irra asked as he closed the door and went over. "Just an identity crisis and I have no idea what I'm doing because nothing feels right." Janus explained, not even answering the question.

Irra paused. "Yeah that's not my field." He thought. "Need me to grab Damien who's already gone through this? They might have a better understanding." He asked.

Janus nodded. "Sure." Irra hugged Janus quickly and left the room.

Irra came back with Damien. He hugged Janus again and left saying he'd be back by dinner.

Janus and Damien sat in silence for a while before they spoke up.

This was gonna be a long conversation.

-----------
--With Irra--

He wandered around the woods before he found the trees he was at a few days ago. He climbed up and sat on a branch, getting a perfect view of the kingdom and surrounding land.

He sighed happily and started to sketch.

----------

Irra got off the branch and started wandering again.

He heard his name being called and turned around. He saw JD hanging upside down from a branch. "Hey orange!" He smirked.

Irra giggled and went over. "Morning JD!" He smiled as JD got off the branch. "Morning. What you doing here?" He asked.

"Just walking around and drawing. Was about to head into the kingdom for a walk. Wanna join?" Irra asked. JD sighed. "Can't people are uh- scared of me." He mumbled.

"Awe. Why?" Irra whined sadly. "It's a secret and I was expecting for one of the twins to tell you." JD said. "They told me, but I rather hear it from you." Irra told him.

JD smiled softly. "So even through they told you. You rather stay with somebody like me?" Irra nodded and hugged him. "Well yeah! Obviously!" JD smiled and hugged back.

"Wanna go swimming?" JD asked. Irra paused. "I have a lot of scars. As long as no one asks about it." Irra told him. JD nodded. "No one will ask. We have lots of scars too! You'll fit right in!" He smiled.

Irra giggled and nodded. "Let's go swimming then!" He cheered. "Race ya!" JD before running off. Irra ran after JD.

-------

Remus and Roman sat on their thrones.

"I don't understand why you think he'll be in danger!" Remus hissed. "I just don't want a repeat incident." Roman hissed back.

"He's smart enough to-"

"I never said he wasn't!"

"So what's your problem then! He will be fine!"

"I'M JUST WORRIED REMUS!"

It went silent in the throne room. "Get out. Go for a walk! When you stop yelling at me you may come back inside. Until then I shall be in my room Prince Roman." Remus hissed lowly at him as he got up and left the throne room. His cape slightly dragging behind him as he walked into one of the servant passages.

Roman sighed and got up. He pushed his hair out of his face and left the castle. "Remus is right I need to calm down." He mumbled.

Roman left the castle and took a deep breath. He smiled softly and walked around the town.

Damien watched as Roman left the castle and wander around the village. Damien ran out of the small tower they used for magic and down a servant passage way to the throne room, passing Remus, who left into his room. Not noticing the dragon.

Damien ran into the throne room and sat on the prince's throne. They giggled. "Best part of the day." They mumbled as they stretched and curled up, falling asleep on the comfortable throne.

-------

Janus sighed and cuddled with Tommy. "Figure it out?" He said as he held Janus close. Janus nodded and kissed his cheek.

"Yeah. Damien was helpful. I was thinking gender fluid. Damien explained it and it felt right for me." Janus smiled softly.

"That's lovely my snake." Tommy kissed her softly. Janus kissed back. They pulled away and Janus rested her head on Tommy's chest. "I want to tell them. I want to tell them about our relationship." She told him as she took his hand.

Tommy nodded. "We can tell them tomorrow if you want. I want to tell them when you're ready." He trusted Janus, Tommy was ready to tell the other about the relationship but wanted to wait for Janus when she was ready.

Janus nodded and kissed him again. "Love you." "Love you too Janny."

--------

Irra and JD giggled like over grown kids they are.

Irra pulled JD into the water. JD splashed Irra and he splashed back. They laughed and realized someone spotted them.

"Irra!" Roman called as he went over. Irra squeaked and his behind JD. "What are you doing here? I said I didn't want you with him!"

"Remus said not to listen to you! So I didn't listen." Irra mumbled. "Let's go home Irra. Mom is probably making dinner." He said, using the most convincing lie that he can.

Irra sighed and nodded. He hugged JD. The boy hugged Irra back.

They separated and Irra left with a towel around him. JD sighed as Roman glared at him. "Stay away from him siren. I know your game!" Roman warned and left.

JD sighed and looked at his magenta tail.

--------

Irra sat on Roman's bed in the castle bed room. He knew he was in trouble.

He curled up and started thinking. "Roman is gonna be so mad! He's gonna hurt me! I need to leave!"

Damien appeared from the wall. "Awe fuck wrong room." Irra looked at Damien. "Where did you come from?" He asked.

"Secret servant passage. What are you doing here?" They answered. "Roman saw me swimming with a friend that he didn't approve of. He put me here until we can talk." Irra explained.

Damien gave him a soft smile. "Here come with me." They said waving him over. Irra paused. Weighing his reaction if he leaves or doesn't.

Boots were heard echoing up the stairs. Roman was coming. Irra got off the bed and ran over to Damien. Damien brought Irra into the passage as the bedroom door opened.

Roman sighed and opened the door. He saw the passage door close. He became angry and left the room.
