[10] - Roloceit - Candles Are Gay

Prompt 9: candles

--

"Candle making?" Logan questioned, putting his bookmark between the pages of his book and looking up at Roman who was standing in front of them with an excited look on his face.

"Yeah! Look, doesn't this look fun?" Roman pushed Logan's book away and seated himself right in Logan's lap, holding his phone up and unpausing a tiktok video, showing it to Logan.

"Jan, look." He said, poking at Janus who had been half asleep and listening to Logan read for the past half an hour. Janus mumbled a little, something neither of them could make out what it was, but he leaned against Logan, looking at the screen of Roman's phone. Roman proceeded to show them about ten videos of people making their own candles, lots of very glittery and colorful candles.

"Doesn't it look like so much fun? I wanna make a gay candle, and you have to help me." He said, tugging slightly at Janus' sleeve.

"Why do we 'have to help' you?" Janus questioned, yawning into Logan's shoulder and sounding as if he very much would rather hide away in either of their rooms to take a nap than indulge Roman in his latest interest.

"Because I love you and I want to spend time with you." Roman stated softly, which at the very least had all of Logan's defenses crumbling, and he was sure that Janus was no better off.

"Also, if I make a mess I don't want to be the only one to blame." Roman said, pressing a kiss to Janus' cheek and then Logan's before slipping down from his lap and onto the floor again.

"Come on, I've already conjured up all the stuff we need, like molds and candle wicks and the wax and the stuff we color it with and glitter." Roman said excitedly, already disappearing towards the kitchen.

His excitement made it impossible for Logan to do anything else than sharing an amused look with Janus and then help his boyfriend up from the couch to follow their other, considerably more energized, boyfriend.

Once they got to the kitchen they found Roman already pouring bits of hardened wax into a metal bowl.

"I want to start with red and it says we only need a few of these, uh, dye chip thingies." Roman said, ripping open a small bag with the, as Roman had called them, dye chips.

"I googled it and you melt candle wax like you melt chocolate." Roman said, carefully putting the bowl in a pot filled with water, making sure that it floated before adding just a few of the tiny red chips.

"We can make several at the same time." Roman said, pointing to other bowls that could go in the two other pots half filled with water.

"If you insist." Janus said, grabbing a bowl and a bag of yellow dye chips and some sort of (also yellow) glitter. Logan didn't see a reason not to join in and filled his own bowl with what he needed, choosing a dark blue as the other two seemed to go with their colors.

Janus put his favorite playlist on as he was slowly stirring the candle wax, which was interrupted by Roman pulling him away to dance along to the music.

Janus rolled his eyes as Roman swayed with him. As if he was above dancing, as if Logan hadn't seen Janus and Roman all dressed up and dancing together in fancy ballrooms in the imagination for hours.

(Logan, however, was not much for dancing, he would usually sit by a table nearby with a glass of wine and a book while his boyfriends danced, now and then glancing up to the sight of Janus and Roman in their ball gowns and suits. Sometimes they would coax him into joining them, though. And, well, dancing could be rather nice when he was in the mood for it.)
