Chapter 10

Trigger Warning: Feeling of massive jealousy and rage. Mentions of wanting to kill someone, Minor swearing

Remus turned his car into Janus' apartment parking lot. Grimacing once again to look over at Janus' rundown apartment. Remus just couldn't get over that Janus had lived in such poor conditions. Now that Logan was in the picture, Remus was hoping that he wouldn't have to worry about having another future lover living in poor conditions.

Remus parked his car into a parking spot in a fairly close spot towards Janus' apartment. Once properly parked, Remus opened his car door and grabbed both his and Janus' Starbucks drinks. Remus once again left the car on and turned the AC on to keep Apollo cool and prevent him from overheating in the car.

Remus knocked onto Janus' apartment door, patiently waiting and hoping Janus would open his apartment door. After a minute or two, Janus' apartment door finally opened, and Remus could've sworn he felt his heart stop for a moment.

There Janus was standing right in front of Remus, in just a simple oversized t-shirt and shorts. Remus couldn't help but briefly look Janus up and down quickly, only making Remus' face heat up even more.

Janus was currently sitting at his work desk in his office, typing away on his laptop. Janus had been typing away on his computer for several hours now, taking small breaks here and there, Until he was interrupted by an unexpected loud noise.

Knock Knock Knock

Janus jumped a bit from the unexpected knocking at his door. Janus was a bit confused at why there was knocking at his door, he wasn't expecting anyone?

Granted, Janus got up from his work desk and left his office, going to his front door. He didn't have time to make himself look at least a little bit more presentable, hell Janus was still in his pajamas, but he didn't want to keep anyone at his front door waiting.

Janus opened the front door. He was then absolutely taken aback by seeing none other than his crush, Remus. Janus immediately felt his throat go completely dry and his face heat up, he's never felt so embarrassed right now in front of Remus. Janus felt a bit insecure about his entire attire, with his messy hair, loosely puffing out, and the messy clothes that he fell asleep in last night.

"Hey, Jan. Can I come in?" Remus had said pretty casually, surprising Janus a bit with how Remus didn't seem to mind how Janus looked.

Janus shuffled over to the side a bit, allowing Remus to come inside his apartment "Uh, yeah, come in, Remus." Janus watched as Remus walked past him, entering Janus' apartment. Janus then shut his apartment door behind Remus.

Remus walked inside Janus' apartment, walking over towards Janus' kitchen and setting his and Janus' Starbucks drinks onto the kitchen counter. Remus took notice of Janus' kitchen and apartment altogether, and Janus noticed Remus looking around, "Uh, sorry for the mess, Remus. I wasn't expecting anyone to come over." Janus blushed a bit out of embarrassment.

Remus let out a laugh, only making Janus blush even more, "It's not a big deal to me, Jan." Remus leaned onto the kitchen counter, "My house is messy too." Remus continued to look around the kitchen, while looking around he saw something in the corner of his eye. When Remus looked over he noticed it was a key, it was the key to open Janus' apartment door. This was perfect. Remus looked over at Janus, making sure he wasn't looking over at Remus' way and thankfully he wasn't. Swiftly, Remus took the key and stuffed it into his pocket. Casually going back to as if nothing had happened at all.

Janus shuffled around his apartment a bit, picking up a few things laying around to at least make his apartment less of an embarrassment. Janus picked up a few dirty dishes lying around his kitchen and placed them into the sink. "Why did you come over though," Janus asked, looking over at Remus.

Remus suddenly perked up, "Oh! That's right!" Remus grabbed Janus' drink off the kitchen counter, then held the drink out to Janus, "I got you some Starbucks!" Remus beamed at Janus.

Janus was a bit taken aback, but grabbed the drink out of Remus' hand and took a small sip out of it, slightly cautious about what was exactly in this drink. As Janus took his sip of the drink, he immediately recognized the flavor of his drink, it was one of his favorite Starbucks drinks. "Thank you for this, Remus." Janus had felt his face heat up yet again from this simple affection that Remus was giving him. Immediately after thanking Remus, Janus went back to take another sip of his Starbucks drink.

Remus found himself once again leaning himself against the kitchen counter and resting his head onto his chin, admiring Janus, "Yeah, it's no problem really. Plus there was this really cute guy there. I even got his number." Remus felt his face heat up again just thinking about Logan.

Janus almost choked on his drink, immediately feeling his blood boil and Janus could've sworn there was steam coming off of him at this point. Janus felt a massive burning sensation of rage and jealousy overcome his body. He didn't enjoy the fact of Remus possibly having a crush on this other guy. As much as Janus wanted to absolutely get his hands dirty with this stranger's blood, despite him not enjoying getting his hands dirty. Janus had to stay calm.

"Hm, sounds as if you like him?" Janus slightly jokes, silently begging and hoping this wasn't true.

Remus let out an almost embarrassed laugh, only making Janus' stomach drop, "I mean- he's pretty and he has a nice personality and all. Plus his name is Logan." Remus gawked, his face heating up.

If Janus wasn't already fueling with absolute rage and jealousy, then he sure was now. He felt as if he was going to crush the Starbucks cup currently in his hand.

Janus tried to keep himself calm and composed in front of Remus, "Well, I need to get back to work, so you should probably go..." Janus felt a bit upset with basically telling Remus to leave.

Remus felt slightly upset after Janus had said that he enjoyed spending time with Janus, but if Janus had the stuff to do, Remus was willing to give him his privacy.

Remus shrugged, "I should, I'm probably gonna talk to Logan or something." Janus led Remus to his front door.

Janus felt his eye slightly twitch as he opened his front door, "Yeah, you should probably talk to him, he seems interesting." Janus fake smiled as he practically shoved Remus out the door at this point.

After Remus had been practically shoved out the door, he turned around to Janus. Just as he opened his mouth, "Bye-" The door had been slammed shut on his face. "-Janus" Remus huffed out.

Just as Remus was walking out of the apartment complex and towards his car, he reached into his pocket. He then pulled out Janus' keys. Remus smiled wickedly, he was finally able to get into Janus' home. Granted Remus knew how to pick locks, but with the security cameras around the apartment complex, they would for sure notice Remus breaking into Janus' apartment.

Janus leaned against the door after basically slamming it in Remus' face. He was fuming at this point. Fuck! He didn't think he would have to worry about Remus falling for anyone else. Remus wasn't falling for anyone for the several months Janus had known Remus. Janus knew that he would have to do something he didn't think he'd have to do at all. He was going to have to get his hands dirty with Logan's blood

Ooo! Janus is going to do some freaking crazy things, with not only Logan but also Remus in the future. I'm honestly excited for this story to start getting super interesting!
