Janus was walking down the streets towards the museum. He needed to gather some information for his history proyect, and there wasn't a better place to find historically inacurate facts than in a museum. 

At age 17, Janus had experienced lots of prejudisim for his skin colour, specially after his vitiligo started to expand and made most of his skin turn pale, along with his now white hair. Janus could die his hair black, which he did, but covering his skin with makeup took too much time, so he had just learned to let it go. 

His heterocromia didn't help either, making him have one eye chocolate brown and the other hazel. He didn't like the weird looks he got every time he went out to the streets, and that's why he prefered to stay at home most of the time. But this was a special ocasion. He needed to prove that whitewashing was a real thing, and the history museum was the best place to start.


When he arrived, Janus stared at the building, unsure if he should enter. It was about three floors tall, and it was styled like an accient greek temple. Or at least, as the modern culture represented greek temples. Janus knew that they wheren't just white marble, but they where often painted and decorated, as well as the piramids from egipt. The piramids and egipt. The main reason of Janus's investigation. So many lies about that culture, it was disgusting.

Janus was half way up the stairs when he noticed a boy about his age sitting just a few steps in front of him. He looked latino, and had his hair tied up in a pony tail revealing an undercut. Well, he had it tied up except for a grey streak that fell reveliously, framing his face. He had a little mustache, no achne, and emerald green eyes. He was wearing a leather jacket covered with little spikes, even if it was already spring and the temperatures where starting to rise. Underneath the jacket he wore a white t-shirt with a band logo, which Janus would later realice it was from My Chemical Romance, as well as as back ripped jeans with stains of neon green paint.

The boy was staring at the sky, his sight fixited in a specific point. Even tho Janus was suposed to go in the museum and do his research, he felt curiosity about this guy. Janus aproached him, sat down next, and tried to locate what the other one was looking at. The boy lifted his arm and pointed towards a cloud.

"It looks like a dick," Was all he said. 

Janus was surprised by this statement at first, but he then started laughing. 

"You are right," He chucled.

"Hm... Normally people freak out when I talk to them. I like you, stranger," Then, he turned, and offered Janus his hand, "My name is Remus,"

"It's a pleasure, Remus. I'm Janus."

"Janus, huh? I like your eyes. They are funny," Remus said, but his voiced made it obvious that his intention wasn't mocking, but just genuine apreciation.

"Thank you. I like your hair," 

"Heh, thanks. I'm not used to people comlimenting it,"

"Neither am I with my eyes," Janus replied.


"Why are you out here?" Remus asked, after some time passed

"What do you mean?" Janus answered, look at him

"Well, why did you come to the museum? And why have you decided to stay here with me, intead of doing whatever the heck you where suposed to do?"

"The reason I came here is a history project. I'm going to base it about the insane amount of lies that society creates just to preserve the same image of white straight cis men in power, when all over our history there've been figures that didn't fit in those boxes. I thought that a museum would be a good idea, considering that I could find some good examples of whitewashing," Janus explained. Remus stared at him, looking surprised, "And the reason I stayed here is because you make good company. How about you? What are you doing out here?"

"Well, um," Remus coughed and looked away, but that didn't stop Janus from seeing his red cheecks, "I'm outside because my family came for a visit, since my mom likes museums, but apparently I was showing "distructive behaviour" and got kicked out."

"What kind of distructive behaviour, if I may ask?" 

"I climbed on top of a glass cavinet and started dancing to the macarena. Aparently, it was too "lousy" "erotic" and "I wasn't allowed to cimb on top of that""

"No shit!" Janus exclaimed as he bent over, laughing

"I'm being serious!" Remus looked anoyed that Janus wouldn't believe him

"Sorry, but that sounds too idiotic. I'm not buying it," Janus said, whipping of a tear

"So you aren't buying it, huh?" Remus stood up, "Come on, get up!"

"What for?" Janus asked, altho he also stood up

"I'm going inside and I'm gonna ride a dinasour!" Remus replied, holding Janus by the hand and guiding him to the entrance

"You can't be serious..."

"I am serious! I'm going to steal a cowboy hat, I'm going to climb the dinasour, and I'm going to pretend to be a cowboy. That'll teach you a lesson!"

"Wait wait wait," Janus stopped, and Remus looked back, "First of all, you aren't allowed in, so unless you have a plan-"

"Which I do,"

"- you can't get inside. And second of all, what lesson are you trying to teach me?"

"I'm trying to teach you that I don't joke around with the stuff that I say I do. If I say that I climbed a glass cavinet and did the macarena, it means that I climbed a glass cavinet and did the macarena. And If I now say that I'm gonna ride a dinasour, it means that I'll ride a dinasour!"

"Ok, ok. I belive you, you don't have to do it-" Janus started, but he was interrupted again.

"I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm going to do it anyways," Remus started to walk once again, but Janus stopped him again.

"Waaaaait"

"Whaaaaat?"

"Fist," Janus took out a pen from his pocket and rolled his sleeve, "First tell me your number, so I can contact you in case the police comes for you after riding the dinasour."

"I... Oh- Ok," Remus's face turned completely red, and Janus smiled as he copied the phone number

"Now you can go climb all the dinasours that you want, sweety," Janus whispered on Remus's ear, as he started to wall towards the entrance once again.







And that's it!

Oh, I forgot to say, if you'd like a "part two" or something about these oneshots, you can comment it or something, and I can try and write it (only if it has an open ending like this one tho)

If it is about my headcanons (remember the ✨) you can ask me questions in the comments, since they all follow my theories of the sanders verse
