Well, we're back. We've not been here for a while. And is it any surprise that this is a Demus song-fic? No, it's not, let's go! Also, this is set in the 80's cause this song just gives me 80's vibes.
Song above if you want to listen to it.

End of May or early June
This picture-perfect afternoon we shared

"Hey, Rem, wait up!" Janus called, peddling hard on his bike to try and catch up with the other boy. Remus shot Janus a glance over his shoulder before laughing and speeding up.

"Hey, no fair!" Janus yelled.

"All's fair in love and war, Jan!" Remus yelled, speeding by houses and trees. "Last one to the ice cream shop pays!"

"That's no fair, you know I'm broke!"

Remus laughed, throwing his head back and veeringly wildly off-course. "Then I guess you'd better speed up, Jan!"

Drive the winding country road

The houses fell away soon, giving way to wide open fields and lakes. Janus slowed for just a minute to take in the view.

Roaring hills of green and gold, a gaping sky bluer than Janus had ever seen in his life. Not a single cloud save some spun, white cotton candy so light it floated in the air. Trees and flowers in full bloom, the last dying cherry blossom decorating the pavements like confetti at a party.

"Hey! Jan!" Remus called, stopping his bike clumsily and yelling over his shoulder. "You good?"

"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine." Janus called back, staring at the view with wide eyes. "Just... wow."

There was a skid of bike wheels and then Remus' voice from beside him. "It's a pretty view, isn't it?" Remus asked.

"Pretty isn't the right word for it." Janus said, his voice full of awe. "Majestic, magnificent, beautiful, glorious... those are all the right words."

Remus smiled at him fondly - a smile Janus didn't see as he was too captivated by the view - and patted him on the shoulder.

"C'mon, I'll pay for the stupid ice cream." He said, grinning. "Let's go."

Grab a scoop at À La Mode

"Can I have two scoops of chocolate in a waffle cone and... Jan, what d'you want?" Remus asked, tilting his head towards his friend. When Janus didn't answer, he looked around. "Jan?"

Janus was standing outside the shop, by the bikes. Remus looked at the person at the counter apologetically. "One sec." He ran out to the front of the shop. "Hey, Janus!"

Janus looked up quickly, balling his hands up in fists behind his back. "Yeah?"

"What ice cream d'you want?" Remus asked.

"Um, honeycomb, please." Janus said, smiling nervously. Remus nodded.

"Cool. One scoop or two?"

"Just one." Janus said, pulling his hair-tie out of his ponytail and running a hand through his hair.

"Cool, got it." Remus grinned at Janus before popping back into the shop.

And then we're there

"We're here!" Remus declared, throwing his bike down by a tree.

"Rem, you've got ice cream all over your face." Janus said, laughing a little. He leaned his bike against the tree and looked out at the field. "Woah." He breathed.

An open field that's framed with trees

"Pretty cool, huh." Remus said, grinning. Janus stared at the expanse of knee-high grass, framed with trees of all sorts.
