---------------

It was the third sunny night in a row.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the sun. Basking in it's sweet warmth as it runs over my scales.

But the fruit.

I had a living to make here, selling fruit from the market, and the sun never leaving was not a good thing. It was all over the news, everyone was so confused. First the capitol was attacked and now the sunny nights.

Everyone was scared.

Except me.

Being half snake had its advantages. Not like I enjoyed being that. Being half snake has its self esteem and mental issues but.. I managed. It was just me and my side, selling fruit to live. He was always talking about something better though, like going back to the life we had before..

I looked at the clock and then the window. It was about the time I'd wake up and roll my cart out for the market but I hadn't gotten any sleep, arguing with my side about everything. I tiredly slipped on my clothes and went down stairs. I ate a banana for breakfast, much to both of our dislikes.

I went outside and uncovered my cart, restocking it before I left. A small town in the U.S. surrounded by a small stretch of desert. I parked my cart where I usually did and gave a small smile to all the other stalls around. I started hanging up my price sign, keeping it the same. Everyone was raising to keep produce and get more money because it was so sunny, but if I stayed the same, they would come to me over the others, and I'd get more money.

"S'cuse me, babes, but do you know where I am?" A voice asked behind me.

I was born into a bad environment so reading everything based on the voice was a necessity. Male, about a year maybe two younger than me, small, more on the light and thin side, definitely a sassy attitude. Possibly gay..?

I pushed the thought away and turned around. As suspected, everything but the last part was right. I looked around and raised a brow, scanning him down. Leather jackets like that weren't from around here. Sunglasses and a drink in his hand, I didn't know what to think.

"I do know where you are. Do you?" I asked simply, keeping guard up.

The stranger smirked a little in amusement.

"I'm Remy." He introduced.

"Janus. Can I help you with something?" I sighed blankly.

"Well. Food and an idea on where to stay would be nice." Remy replied as I went to behind my stall.

"You'll need money for both of those." I said, looking at him.

'He's cute.' my snake commented.

'We're not taking him.' I said simply.

'Just one night?' he asked.

I was quiet. Remy seemed to watch as if he knew I was debating the idea of asking him to stay.

"How about this. Everyone knows everyone around here. It's different seeing someone new. So. You give me a night, I give you a night." I suggested, leaning forward on my elbows.

Remy smirked, leaning against my cart. His face stopped just short of mine and I just caught myself from glancing at his lips. I could feel the need for him growing.

"I give you a night, you give me a night and some food." he bargained.

I closed my eyes for a minute, making it seem as if I was thinking about it, before looking at him again.
