Dukeceit Week (7/9 - 7/15)

Dukeceit Week | Day 2 | Drown me in Paint

Pairing : Platonic Dukeceit

Summary : The sides get into a paintball fight and Remus and Janus absolutely drown each other in paint.

--------

Remus suddenly felt a stinging pain in his lower back and he quickly spun on his heels, pointing his paintball gun in the direction the shot had come from. He watched as a head poked out from it's hiding position and aimed the gun towards him, releasing another shot, splattering Remus' headgear with yellow paint. He quickly wiped the face shield clean and growled out, gripping his gun tightly.

"Janus." Remus gritted out, ducking behind one of the many objects on the field. He somersaulted out from behind there and to another prop closer to where he knew Janus was hiding at. He peeked around the corner to see if he could spot the deceitful side anywhere. Once he realized he couldn't see anything he started to move again before he felt the barrel of gun pressed to his back. He turned his head to see Janus behind him, face shield flicked up and a smirk on his face.

"Any last words Dukey?" He asked, his smirk widening. He gulped and turned on his heels, raising his arms into the air, a tight grip on his firearm. 

"Actually yeah I do." Remus responded. He noticed Janus' grip on his paintball gun tighten, his finger pressing down lightly on the trigger. 

"Surprise attack!" Remus moved a hand forward and flipped Janus' face shield back down. Janus pulled down on the trigger, releasing a shot that hit Remus square in the stomach. The Duke quickly caught his breath and while Janus was recovering from the initial shock, he quickly backed up and fired at Janus, nailing him in the face, splattering green paint onto his headgear and the prop behind him. Remus pumped his fist and continued running away, ducking into a tunnel on the field.

"Remus Sanders!" He heard Janus yell from further away on the field. Remus snickered and slowly creeped back to the end of the tunnel, poking his head out to get a view of the plain. He watched Janus prowl around cautiously, taking weary steps. He took careful aim and released another shot, nailing Janus' thigh, causing him to fall to the ground, holding himself tightly, his grip tight on his gun. 

Worried that'd he'd really hurt him, Remus rose from his hiding place and ran over to him, looking at him on the ground.

"Jan are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you I just-" Remus cut off his sentence when his face shield was once again coated in yellow paint. He heard hysterical cackling and he grunted in anger, wiping his shield clean and firing at Janus, splattering his chest. 

"Hahaha, wOAH!" Remus yelped in surprise, feeling his feet fall out from under him. He landed on the ground with a thud and felt a sting as a paintball exploded against his shoulder, covering his arm and reaching under his face mask, splattering his cheek. He quickly sat up and moved away, squeezing his eyes shut and shooting at Janus again. He felt a shot hit his other arm and he dropped his paintball gun.

He opened his eyes, grabbed the gun again and stood up, rapidly firing at Janus. He watched as Janus rose to his feet as well, trying to dodge each shot fired at him and only managing to miss a few. He shakily raised his gun up, returning the fire at Remus. Amongst trying to dodge each other, they were attracting the attention of everyone else with the loud sound of their guns firing over and over. It was surprising the only colors the two ended up being coated in by the end were yellow and green, even with the other four crowded around them.

They were panting softly and their arms and legs were shaking. They were absolutely drowned in paint and were no doubt covered in bruises from the repetitive firing in the same areas. The two took shaky steps towards each other before they both collapsed. 

"I took the last shot." Janus muttered out. He snickered quietly. "I win." 

"No I did." Remus retorted, slamming his fist against the ground then wincing at the vibrations it shot up his arm. He felt around himself trying to see if he could find his gun on the ground before he bumped it and grabbed it quickly, pointing it at Janus.

"I win this time." Remus chuckled, and pulled down on the trigger, striking Janus in the shoulder. Janus rolled onto his back, holding his shoulder and staring at the sky, his breath leaving a fog against his face mask. Remus followed suite, rolling onto his back as well. He heard a shot fired off and a sudden sting in his arm.

"I'm not losing to you." Janus groaned, gripping his shoulder tighter. The two moved to face each other, ready to bicker when they both felt a shot pelt their sides. They looked up, noticing Virgil glaring at them with the other three stood behind him.

"How about I win and you both lose. End of discussion. Now go get cleaned up, please. The paint you guys used reeks." Virgil said, taking off his headgear and dropping his paintball gun.

"Reek is a smell I go for regularly but whatever." Remus retorted, slowly shifting himself up onto his feet. He held a hand out for Janus, who gladly took it and rose to his feet as well.

"I'll win next game." Janus hissed, taking his headgear off and glaring up at Remus, a smirk spread across his face.

"Yeah we'll see about that." Remus responded, removing his headgear as well. 

"I'm pretty sure I've got everything down pat, so I've already got a better strategy plan." Janus bragged.

"Sure you do." Remus growled, pouncing at Janus and knocking them to the ground again. 

They rolled and wriggled around on the ground, yelling and shouting as the rest of the sides shook their heads and went back to their rooms.
