Over-stimulated

WARNING: Very self-projecting, over-stimulation, threat

Remus knew when something was wrong with Janus. He always knew. Mostly, it was just Janus was stressed about an up-coming test or he'd had a bad day or something. But sometimes, it was serious.

Right now, it was serious.

Remus didn't know what had happened but Janus was very jumpy and he was breathing far too fast. He was also stuttering on every other word.

"Hey, Jan, what's wrong?" Remus asked quietly. Janus looked at his boyfriend sharply, his eyes wide.

"W-Wrong?" He repeated. "N-Nothing's wrong."

"Jan..." Remus said quietly. "Do you need a time out?" Janus started to shake his head, then hesitated, then nodded. "Okay, we can go to the park, okay? Or is the fountain going to be too loud."

Janus winced and put his hands over his ears as a bunch of loud students pushed past by the two boys. "I, I, I, I- too much noise." Remus nodded.

"Okay, um, do you just need to go for a walk?" He asked. Janus nodded feverishly. "Okay, let's go." Janus nodded again and started walking. Remus had trouble catching up with him: Janus always walked quickly when he was having trouble calming down.

Just as Janus got to the door, a yelling boy rammed into him. "Watch where you're fucking going!" He yelled. Janus clapped his hands over his ears again and squeezed his eyes tight. He stepped to the side to let the boy pass. Remus wasn't about to let this go.

Remus grabbed the boy's backpack and pulled him back. "Touch him again and I'll burn your dick off." He growled. "And if you still aren't dead, I'll throw you off a cliff." He let the boy go and the boy stumbled forward. He muttered a 'fucking weirdo' but Remus could see he was shaken.

"Hey, Jan." He said quietly. Janus' eyes snapped open and he looked at Remus. He was nearly crying. "Are you okay with touch?" Janus looked down and didn't answer. "Okay, okay. Let's go. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, okay?"

"Okay." Janus managed to rasp out, his hands still firmly clapped over his ears.

They'd managed to get out of the school building without any other hiccups. Janus still winced at too much sound but he was talking relatively normally to Remus and he no longer had his hands over his ears.

"Jan, what happened?" Remus asked.

"I d-d-don't know, Rem." Janus said. "There was just s-s-so much noise." He hugged his elbows. "And it just got too much. I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Pushing a-all this on you." Janus said. "It shouldn't be your responsibility to make sure I-I'm okay."

"Jan, that's exactly my responsibility. Hell, it's not even a responsibility." Remus said. "It's just another part of the puzzle that's being your boyfriend."

Janus laughed quietly. "S-Some boyfriend I am." He muttered.

"You are the best boyfriend ever." Remus said. Janus started to protest. "Bah. No. Nah. La, la, la, la, la, la." Janus laughed and winced again as a motorcycle passed by. "Hey, you okay?"

Janus took a shaky breath and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine."

Definitely not me wishing I had a SO to help me get through my sensory overloads like the one I had today-
