The Crown or The Duke ~A Demus story~ {Haitus}

My Apologies...

TW: Suggestive Remus, uncensored cursing, God's name in vain, mention of homophobes

Thinking looks like this

~Remus' POV~

     Soon after I left to attend to personal matters, dinner was announced to be ready. Afterward, I took a walk around the garden, wondering how Janus was and how he felt about my brother. Speaking of the devil, there he is!

"Roman," I shouted to grab his attention as I walked over to him. "Want to watch the sunset together? We can maybe even invite Janus! It will be completely platonic, of course. Unless you want to...do...Janus." Roman went as red as his sash and I couldn't help but laugh.

" Relax I'm kidding. Of course, I'm kidding...baby steps." Roman rolled his eyes.

"How do you not a have a bride already?" I gagged.

"Because one, I'm gay, two, I'm not interested in romance. That's...that's more your thing" Roman nodded then surprised.

"I was kidd- wait you gay!?" I nodded and blushed.

"Holy shit...Why didn't you tell me?" I shrugged. I had known I was gay for years by now and that didn't help my case with Janus. I couldn't help but be drawn in by him. Like he was a magnet and I was metal.

     I felt Roman grip my wrist tightly and I jumped.

~Roman's POV~

"Are you comfortable with telling mom and dad? Or do you want to come to someone else first? Or do you want to keep this between me and you for now?" My brother was gay! Finally! Someone who else would understand my problems!

     Remus looked at me before nodding his head.

"Which one, Remus?" He took in a shaky breath.

"The first and second one. Then I'll tell Jan...us tomorrow." I nodded before letting go and walking with him to the throne room, where our parents were.

     It was that one day a month that our parents would listen to the requests of their people to help better their lives, even if it was in a simple way like creating roads or sending workers to help with building or maintenance projects to allow the elderly to sit back and relax as they deserve.

     We didn't want to interrupt anything, so we joined the line, talking to the children, making them laugh and smile. Despite having a dark and dirty mind, a habit to be reckless, and suggestive, Remus was extremely good with kids. I couldn't help but think he'd be an amazing father. A very horny, suggestive father, but a good one none-the-less. Heh. Poor kid if he walks in on Remus and his husband while they're doing the dirty.

"Mommy? Is that Prince Roman and Duke Remus?" I heard a child ask. I snickered. Remus may be my twin, but we both were technically both princes and dukes. However, since Remus was younger, he normally introduced himself as the duke.

     I felt a tug at my sleeve and looked down to see a young child, crying. I immediately crouched so I was on their level. Why is she crying? Is she ok!?

"Hey...What's wrong?" They hugged me and I hugged them back, gently rubbing their back.

"I'm scared. I'm a lesbian and m-my parents are homophobic. I d-don't know what to do!" I was stunned. A child came to ME to ask for advice on a situation I'd never gone through.
