Janus POV
I woke up excitedly and almost threw myself out of bed. I quickly packed my bags with extra clothes and put on my favorite black tank top and topped the outfit off with a baseball hat without the top. I then realized I needed to brush my hair so I took off the cap and brushed my hair until it was silky smooth and put the hat back on. I sat and decided to turn on the TV while I waited and started playing on my phone. I need to ask Roman for his number once I meet him. I had some basic idea of what he might look like. Bright beautiful red eyes and blonde luscious hair and dark skin. He'd be my prince in shining armor.My thoughts were interrupted by my doorbell ringing. Roman wasn't supposed to be here for another hour? I walked to the balcony and looked down and as soon as I saw him I felt myself melt. I knew he was Roman I just knew it. I could feel it was him in my bones. He had beautiful curly dark brown hair and he had a white cap like mine on. He wore a red shirt with a star in the middle and a white jean jacket over it he had tan trousers and was looking up at me. His eyes were wide and he had a blushed face. I smiled and slithered down my tree and went down to meet him. I stood in front of him and he looked very tense. "Uhmmm... Hey it's uh, it's Janus." I said and I looked away for a second, my face burning.
"Can I kiss you?" He asked out of the blue. I snapped up at him and I think he realized what he said and he started stammering and muttering things to himself. I laughed at his confusion and I gave him a quick kiss, though it felt like forever. As soon as our lips connected I could feel myself turn to mush and the world being blocked out. We then disconnected and he grabbed my hand. "Let's go." He said, still blushing. I nodded my approval and followed him down the street after a few hours of slithering for me but walking for him we finally made it to a nice neighborhood and turned to Romans doorstep. Roman turned to me and put his hands up. "Just as a bit of a forewarning, two of our soulmates already live here so don't be surprised okay?" I nodded, appreciating his warning and he unlocked the door and we went inside.
I saw two people on the couch, one was watching the news and the other was playing on his phone. They looked and me when we walked in and all of us went wide eyed except for Roman. A boy on the taller side with cat ears and a fluffy tail looked up at me and blushed, though most of it was hidden my his foundation. He had silky black hair and was wearing a lilac colored shirt and a black hoodie with purple striped patches. He was also wearing jeans despite it being almost 98 out. The other guys blush was hidden by his giant sunglasses while he was sipping coffee. His wings fluffed up at the sight of me and his Starbucks cup drifted from his mouth. He was wearing a shirt that said [S L E E P] so I assumed he was Remington. Roman decided to speak up which I appreciated. "This is Janus you guys. He's the snake-guy!" Roman said and I butt in. "The correct term is Saila." I said bluntly. Roman looked the other way and apologized and I told him it was fine. "This is Remy," Roman pointed at the guy in the sleep shirt. "And he is a Barad, but I assume you have those where you come from, they are very common." Roman then shifted his hand to point to the cat man. "And that is Virgil. He is a Felinis or Cat-person." Roman said and I looked at Virgil and he looked away. I nodded and turned to Roman. "Where should I put my stuff?" I asked him and he smiled. "Oh I can take your things to your new room for you. Your room is gonna be the second room on the left of that hall." Roman said then pointed to a hall that pointed east of the living room and I nodded.
I sat myself down on the couch a little left of Virgil and he turned his head to me. "Just so you know um, Remy has a habit of calling everyone 'babe' just so you know." Virgil said just above a whisper st the end of his sentence. I nodded at him and Remy got up from his seat on the couch and looked at me. I assumed he had never seen a Saila before so I just smiled. "You can ask as many questions as you want and I'll try to answer all of them." I said and smiled. Remy sat down crisscross where he was standing and just looked at me. "Is it hard to move around like that?" He asked and looked up at me. I tilted my head as it was hard to explain. "Well it makes me a bit slower but other than that where I come form almost everyone moves this speed because most of us are like this." Remy nodded and looked at me. "Do you have a molting season?" I nodded. Virgil then piped up. "Uhm, have you ever wanted to have legs? Just to know how it is?" Virgil said. I nodded a little bit but decided I needed to go into more detail
"Well I've been a Saila my whole life so I can't really imagine myself any other way. The only reason I would want legs is to feel how they are but other than that I like being how I am. It makes it easier to climb trees." I said remembering tree climbing with Cristy when we were young. We would always try to race each other up the tallest tree in her backyard. She made it all the way up first but fell and broke her arm so I'm kind of glad I didn't win. Remy then got up and sat next to me and put his head on my shoulder. I blushed and after a minute Virgil rested on me too and I felt at peace. I could feel a piece of us was missing but right then I felt the best I had ever felt in my life. I sighed and drifted into the realms of unconsciousness.
