Sander Sides The Demus Origin Story

Chapter #5

WARNING: Wholesome, Angst, Remus being Remus, and Mention of Alcohol

Remus's POV: I was doing things around the house for Janus because Janus was talking with Emile downstairs having like a little therapy session in the living room, I am very glad that Janus is trying to get help with some of the problems he is having or has encountered over time since that bastard had left. I don't see Virgil as a friend of mine anymore or part of this family anymore not after all the shit he has done like telling fucking lies about me and Janus to the others and none of them are true and him making Janus seem like the bad guy every time he sees Janus which Janus trying to help Thomas. Janus may still consider Virgil as part of this family cause Janus is not heartless and still loves everyone, he cares about I don't, but I respect Janus's decisions on things because I have known Janus for years, unlike the others who are being fed lies but a battered who just wants attention for others, and they say Janus is the liar.

Janus's POV: "I don't remember when my drinking got worse, but I would say probably after he left." I said in a somewhat confused tone. "How has your drinking been now? Is it still the same?" Emile had finished writing down things on his notepad and looked back at me while I thought of an answer to his question. "I had three glasses like two nights ago I believe. I am not sure my mind is all over the place right now. I am sorry." I signed as I lay down on the couch completely. "It's alright Janus I understand this is why I am here! To help you cause that's my job and what friends do!" Emile smiled at me and set his notepad down on the coffee table. "Do you want to take a break for a minute before we continue?" Emile got up and stretched a bit from sitting down for a while. "Sure. I don't see why not." I turned the TV on and looked through the channels for something to watch.

Remus's POV: I went back downstairs finding Janus lying on the couch watching TV and Emile was in the kitchen making something to drink. "Anything else you need down Double Dee?" I said walking over to Janus who looked at me. "Huh? Oh! No that's all I needed done for right now! Thank you, Mus!" Janus smiled at me in a happy tone. "No problem! I do anything for you!" I said smiling back and went to the kitchen to talk to Emile. "Hey Emile, how are you doing?" I said grabbing a packet of popcorn and putting it in the microwave. "I am doing good Remus! Thank you for asking! How are things with you and Janus? I heard that you guys are dating now." Emile said taking a sip of the drink that he made. "Yes, we are and it's going well I would say we are mostly focusing on Janus getting help with his things which you already know about, and helping him with today," I said waiting for the popcorn to be done.

Janus's POV: I smelled popcorn from the kitchen which I am guessing Remus was making popcorn and then I heard the microwave beeping meaning it was done I was just watching TV and Remus walked into the living room and set a bag down of the popcorn on the coffee table. Remus gets on the couch and lays on top of me, "What are you watching?" Remus asked who was snuggling his face into my neck. "I don't know I just put something on to watch for a bit because I think I am just going to read later or take a nap I haven't decided yet," I said answering Remus's question leaning my body against Remus's chest. "Okay, but why do you take so many naps?" Remus asked in a soft tone. "Well, since I am part snake snakes rest a lot because they need to conserve energy, I tend to take naps a lot because of that snake-like trait that I have or that is in my, I guess. I don't know how to explain it," I said answering Remus's question that he had asked me.

Remus's POV: "Ah. Okay!" I said somewhat understanding Janus's answer to my question. I looked at the TV watching whatever Janus had put on and rested my chin on Janus's left shoulder still holding him close. "May I join you guys?" Emile asked while walking up to the couch and standing on the couch. "Of Course, Emile!" Janus said in a caring and loving tone and Emile Sat next to us and was looking at the TV. "Do you two have anything planned for the summer?" Emiles asked turning his attention from the TV to me and Janus. "Um, I personally not 100% sure. I don't make plans for the summer or stuff like that I just go out and do my own thing." I said answering Emile's question. "I do the planning most of the time unless I don't feel like doing anything for that day. I do want to do something over this summer because I don't want to sit indoors every day and wait till winter comes around again." Janus said also answering Emile's question.

Janus's POV: I yawned and summoned a word search in my right hand and a pencil in my left hand and opened the word search book and decided to work on finishing this word search book that I had started doing about 3 weeks ago. I was in the middle of doing a word search that I was in the middle of doing the last time I did it and I couldn't help but smile because Remus was, I guess helping me with the word search because he would point out words that I needed to find out to me, and I thought that it was sweet of him trying to help me. I put the book on the coffee table," Hey Mus, Can I get up for a moment? I hungry." I looked over at Remus who was holding me and received a nod from him which he let go of me so I could get up. I got up from Remus's lap and walked over to the kitchen. "Do you guys want anything?" I asked peeking my head into the living room.

Remus's POV: "I'm fine with whatever as long as it's you're cooking." I said answering Janus's question with a warm smile on my face. "I am good thank you Janus for asking!" Emile said also answering Janus's question with a smile on his face. "Okay," Janus said going back into the kitchen where I grabbed his word search book and the pencil and started continuing the word search Janus was working on. A couple of minutes passed, and I finished two pages in Janus's word search book I turned my head in the direction of the kitchen Janus walked out of the kitchen with a plate in his hands. "You are doing my word search Mus?" Janus said while he set his plate down on the coffee table. "Mhm, is that okay with you?" I asked Janus stealing a piece of cut-up cheese off Janus's plate.

Janus's POV: I watched Remus steal a piece of cut-up cheese off my plate and eat it. "You know you should ask to have something instead of taking it cause it's still rude you know Mus," I said and sat beside Remus on the floor in front of the couch. "Sorry," Remus said apologizing to me and then pulling me onto his lap wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled, took three crackers off my plate, and started eating one of the crackers I grabbed while returning to doing the word search, I was doing, or the new one Remus had started while I was making myself a snack in the kitchen. "How many word searches did you finish while I was in the kitchen?" I said asking Remus while I was circling a word I just had found.
