You're Ours-Intruloceit

Chapter Three- Sudden Call

Chapter 3
———

Strangely enough Janus had become fairly close with Remus. Janus had found himself wanting to text Remus as soon as possible once he arrived home. Janus knew it was dangerous to be talking to Remus at all. If Remus were to ever hurt Janus, then he would surely snap.

Once Janus had arrived home after his day out with his sibling, Virgil, he was exhausted. Thankfully since Virgil owned a car, they were willing to give Janus a ride to his rundown apartment. Janus dragged his feet against the floor until he plopped down onto his couch that was for sure falling apart. Janus felt like he could fall asleep right on his couch, but he knew that if he were to fall asleep on his couch, his back would for sure hurt in the morning. Janus pulled his phone out of his pocket and turned it on, momentarily being blinded by his bright screen. Though Janus saw that he had a text message, it was from Remus.

Hey! Promised I'd text you later tonight! How are you?

Janus smiled slightly, he somewhat had a feeling deep down that Remus wouldn't actually text him at all and that Remus was just being nice out of pity. Especially since Janus did look like a freak with his burn scar littering the left side of his face.

I'm doing alright. I'm a little tired though

Janus! You need to sleep if you're tired!

Janus laughed a bit. It made his stomach feel a bit fuzzy with how Remus actually cared about his health.

I can't I just got home and I still need to change

fine. But you better get some sleep!

Ok I will. Goodnight

Goodnight!!

Janus smiled. Remus just made him feel like a teenager again, first experiencing love when you're still young and stupid. Though once Janus had actually gained some energy to get up, he dragged himself to his room, changing into a nice T-shirt and sweatpants. Janus felt himself plop down the dead center of his queen sized bed. It only took a few minutes of just laying there for Janus to pass out.

Janus found himself in a room that he couldn't recognise. Though all the way across the room he saw the backside of...Remus? Though Remus was holding a figure he couldn't recognise against the wall.

Suddenly Janus was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Remus shout, "Dammit Janus! Hold the door shut! The police are going to get to us!" Janus turned around, there was in fact a door, though there was rough pounding on it and shouting coming from the other side of the door. Quickly Janus listened to Remus and pressed his entire body against the door, preventing what he assumed was the police from getting inside.

Suddenly Janus heard a glass shattering scream come from me here Remus and that stranger were, all the way across the room. Though when Janus looked over, he saw the stranger sliding down the wall, they looked almost unconscious. But Janus looked over at Remus and saw him baking away from the stranger slowly, holding a knife, it was covered in blood. Janus realised what was happening, Remus stabbed them.

Janus jolted up from his bed. What was that dream? Why did I dream that? Though whatever happened in that dream, scared him a bit. Janus teacher over and grabbed his phone, turning it on, Janus had seen the time, 2:27 am. Fuck that was late. But Janus had came up with a dumb idea to help go back to sleep.

Remus groaned as he woke up to the sound of his phone's ringtone going off. Annoyingly Remus rolled over a bit and flung his arm out, reaching around for his phone. After a few seconds he finally found his phone and picked it up. Remus opened his eyes, momentarily being blinded by the phone's brightness. Though Remus fully regained consciousness once he noticed who exactly was calling him, Janus.

Remus quickly accepted the call, fumbling for a second in the process. Though Remus held the phone up to his ear.

"Hello? Janus?" Remus spoke into the phone. It was silent for a moment.

"Hey Remus, thanks for picking up. I'm sorry for waking you up though"

Janus sounded a bit in shock? Or scared even? Though Remus quickly sat up in bed, "No! No. You don't need to apologise, it's okay. Why did you call me though?" Remus laughed a bit.

Janus paused for a moment, "Just having a hard time sleeping is all. Bad dreams and such. I just want to talk to someone right now."

Remus felt his heart swell. The fact that Janus wanted to talk with Remus out of anyone else. He took a deep breath, "Of course. What do you wanna talk about right now?" Remus shuffled a bit, getting into a comfortable position.

"I don't really know. I just wanted to listen to you really, to help distract me from everything."

Remus did just what Janus had so desperately asked him. Remus went on about so many different things, he would just jump from one topic to the next. Though Janus didn't mind, even if he couldn't exactly comprehend everything that Remus was saying.

Eventually Janus spoke up, "Hey 'Mus?" Remus could've sworn he felt his heart when Janus called him that. Remus knew that Janus had only said it out of tiredness.

"Yeah, Janus?" Remus softly spoke.

Janus paused over the phone for a moment, "Thanks. For talking to me so late. It really made me feel better."

Remus let out a small laugh, smiling bigger than ever. "Of course! I'm more than happy to help you whenever."

Remus had continued ranting after that. It made him feel content and comfortable sharing so much with Janus. It felt right. Which was new for Remus. It typically took time for Remus to share so much about himself to others, even to people he loved. But Janus felt.. different.

Remus stopped ranting when he heard a yawn come from Janus. "Hey, if you're tired you can go back to sleep." Remus said softly.

"No it's 'Kay." Janus yawned again, slurring his words. "I wanna talk with you." Remus could just hear the tiredness in Janus' voice.

"No, you should really go to bed. Plus I need to go back to sleep, it's really late." Remus laughed a bit, laying on his back in his bed.

Remus heard yet another yawn come from Janus, "m'kay fine. G'night." Janus mumbled out, thankfully Remus heard it.

Remus smiled and rolled over onto his stomach , "Goodnight Janus. Sleep tight." Remus briefly said. Then hearing the call hang up, "I love you."
