Virgil was a mess when he first arrived, cowering in the first corner he saw; he was scared, anxious, and always on the edge of an attack, there was so many possibilities and outcomes.

He even shied away when Deceit and the others approached him, but, it was ear that he couldn't stay there forever. And when he was ready to come with them, Deceit was patiently waiting for him.

Deceit slowly sat down next to the anxoius mess, introducing himself. Virgil didn't respond, but Janus didn't mind, he began talking away about random stupid squabbles, which made Virgil laugh, which was a score for Janus, getting to see this kids who was always scared smile. Janus vowed to visit daily. Which he did.

The next time he found Virgil he was still outside of his room, and Janus joined him, sitting down beside him. "You don't really go to your room do you?" It was accusatory, and he hoped that Virgil would pick up on that.

Virgil shook his head. It was dark and scary in there and there was no way in hell that Virgil would enter it willingly. Virgil held himself tighter.

Janus seemed to read his thoughts, he got up to get a night light or something else that would soothe Virgils worries, when he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Dee Dee, s-stay?" Janus was shocked momentarily, before returning to Virgils side. Virgil seemed curl into himself a bit more, hiding his face.

Janus smiled as he held out a marker, it was yellow. "Here, take this."

Virgil takes the marker with trembling hands, smiling softly. Virgil stared at the marker, spinning it in his hands to see the color in the light. "Thank you." Virgil mumbled, yawning as he did so. Virgil had apparently reached his limit of holding himself upright, and he leaned onto Janus' shoulder clutching the marker tightly.

"REMUS!" Virgil looked up from where he was sitting in the living room for the dark sides; Remus looked somewhat apologetic that he was caught, and he scrambled behind the counter to hide.

Janus was fuming as he came down the stairs.

"Remus..... That was my favorite snake statue!" Janus called, hoping to lure Remus out. After Remus didn't respond Janus groaned and went back to his room to where both Virgil and Remus assumed he was cleaning up the snake after hearing a loud 'BANG' of the door.

Virgil felt bad and got him a new snake statue although it wasn't the same as the snake that broke as this one had a little note scribbled in yellow on the underbelly.

'Hey, dee, sorry to hear about your snake..'

The day after the incident, as Virgil went to leave his room, he noticed a small purple marker on the floor, and Virgil thanked the gods that he didn't slip and die on the cute gesture. He picked it up, red coating his cheeks all bashful like as he put it away.


Little incidents such as those happened more and more frequently after that. Sometimes a marker found it's way to him after a panic attack, others for seemingly no reason at all. Marker after marker after marker. Virgil would smile fondly everytime he received a marker. He was so greatful for Janus.


Today was Janus' birthday. A fact that Janus himself didn't realize. He started the day like every other, finding suitable clothes for the day, taking a shower and brushing his teeth, and the rest of his morning routine. Then he began his descent into the living room for food.

Bouncing down the stairs, Janus took notice of the lights being off, which made him slow down in order to not fall and break his neck, even though he almost did anyways when the loud shout erupted from below.

"SURPRISE!"

Apparently Virgil, Remy, and Emile, put together a birthday party, and managed to get everyone to attend- not just attend, but bring presents!

Janus went through present after present, the gifts ranging from practical and thoughtful to last minute and unsure of what he likes.

When Janus saw Patton and Emiles expectant gazes Janus thanks for everyone for the gifts.

Virgil's gift to Janus was last, Virgil shuffling over to Janus with an almost comically large gift.

"I uh, I made this for you," Virgil started. "I have no skills in this area but.. Its the thought that counts, right?" He chuckled nervously as he held the gift out to Janus.

Janus found his breath stuck in his throat when his eyes landed on what Virgil had presented him.

It was a beautifully done drawing of Janus with his snake, and Virgil was there too! Virgil was at the base of the tree in the corner of the canvas, looking up with admiration at where Janus was depicted, on his back on the limb above Virgil, talking about one thing or another.

Janus had recognized the moment that Virgil had captured, it was right before they had found Remus in a ditch on the other side of the hill they were on.

Janus found that his favorite part was that it was made with all the markers that he had given Virgil over the years.

"So, yeah, Hope you like it, Jan."

Virgil was sure that his foundation wasn't enough to hide his blush when Janus looked at him with wonder in his eyes.

Janus very carefully put down the gift, before pulling Virgil into a tight hug.

"Virge, I cant express how much this means to me-" he began as he closed his arms around Virgil. "But- I wanna kiss you, is that okay?"

(A/N: consent is cool kids)

Virgil was too shocked to move at first, and although Janus had whispered, it felt so loud in his head. As Virgils brain broke, Janus began to pull away, scared he had made the wrong move when Virgil nodded, "yes," he sputtered quietly, Virgil hoped that he wouldn't remember this moment as him being a complete mess.

Virgil had never known that seconds could feel so long, when Janus kissed him. He wouldn't say it was magical, but it left him dizzy and giddy.
