Unlikely Heroes (Sander Sides au)

A Fucking Goosechase (Chapter 24)

T.W: swearing
=~•Janus' POV•~=
The night turned to day and it was once again time to get up. My body, however, had different plans. As soon as I lifted myself off the bed, my legs quickly gave way with a soft thud on the carpeted floor. I subsided right there for multiple minutes until I heard a peaceful knock. How the fuck is Virgil up at... 12:34! Oh shit... I'm kinda late. I hopped up off the floor, rubbing my eyes as I stumbled towards the door. If anyone saw me at that moment, I would look hungover. With my bloodshot eyes, my staggered walking and my hand putting pressure on the side of my head. I opened the door too find a fully dressed, slouching man. He looked at me before snickering.

This bitch better not be making fun of my snake pjs. I must have given him a death stare or something because he soon burst out into a fit of laughter, most likely at my reaction. He waved himself off as he tried to compose himself. I shut the door calmly before making my way over towards the closet. The room had a slither of light piercing through a small slit in the blackout curtains. I can see relatively well in the dark. This is probably due to me being literally part snake. I slipped out of my comfortable pyjamas and then threw on my outfit that I wore the first day of school. My feet led me towards my door and opened it widely. I managed too see raccoon boy sitting on a very stable shelf, waiting for me. I cleared my voice, staring up towards him. He looked down at me before literally rolling off the wood supporting him. When he hit the ground, he looked completely un phased by the 7ft fall.

I offered him my hand but instead of actually trying to help me pull him up, he just laid down as far as he could and smirked at me. I dropped his hand, catching him off guard and causing him too fall flat on his back. He stuck his middle finger up high into the air, obviously not being directed too me. He begrudgingly lifted himself up and gave me a playful scowl. Instead of sticking around in the hallway and possibly getting thrown, I slipped away quickly then began a full on sprint towards the kitchen. I knew exactly what I was going to do, just to piss him off more. I picked up a slice of bread, placing it into one of the toaster slots and pressed down the switch thingy.

The toast popped up, right before he walked around the corner. We made eye contact. I picked up the toast. And bit it. He looked just as disgusted as when I first did it. He mumbled something under his breath. He was probably cursing me with an old medieval spell that can be found on reddit. Instead of having a piece of toast, he casually picked up a KitKat. Normal, right? He looked me dead in my eyes and bit the KitKat WITHOUT breaking it. And this little shit just smirked at me. Let's just say that on our way to Thomas' apartment we didn't talk. Not a single word. We were facing away from each other like middle school girls do after an argument. It was only until we made it to the actual apartment that we spoke.

"Fuck you."
"Right back at you."

Roman, Remus and Logan were standing out front with Thomas and Savvy. Remus beckoned us over and we obviously obliged. Logan looked at us, raising his right eyebrow at how me and V were further away from each other than usual.
"Did you guys have a breakup or something?" Roman asked, causing V too choke on thin air. I must have been cherry red when Roman gave a face of realisation.
"I thought you guys were. Shit me and Patton were completely wrong," he said, chuckling at the scene he caused.
"In all serious though, what happened," a cheery voice asked from behind us. Patton walked over to Roman, hugging his arm like a sloth.

"He eats toast without butter!" Virgil exclaimed and I cocked my head upwards, proud at myself. Patton literally gasped, Logan face-palmed, Remus was going into a full depth reasoning of why that is a good way to eat toast and Roman was staring wide eyed.
"Virgil does something worse. He broke an unspoken law," I proclaimed and V scowled at me. I could tell he was plotting my murder and restraining himself from beating the shit out of me.
"He eats a KitKat without breaking it." This caused everyone, apart from Logan, to step back. Even Thomas and Savvy, who weren't even in the conversation, tended at the statement.

"I am unaware of why this is a big deal. You are able to digest more chocolate when you do not break it," Logan explained and Virgil clapped. Everyone now had disgusted faces at both of us when Enamour arrived. Thomas casually explained all the possible places that villains hideout, from the tailors' work.
"This is gonna be easy!" Patton said enthusiastically.

It wasn't easy. November rain was drenching us to our skin and we were all losing hope. How the hell are we supposed to find these kidnappers? Like they could have stolen multiple kids and have never been found. The good news was that me and V came to a mutual agreement with our weird eating habits. His one is the devil's work but sometimes you have to agree to disagree. The wind had stopped being directed away from us by Roman and now we were all shivering messes. Well nearly all of us. Virgil had taken the precaution of having 5 layers since the last time he got ill. Do you know what is even worse? Considering I'm now part snake, my temperature drops much quicker and is way harder too maintain.

I was squinting my eyes when I felt something get thrown over my shoulders. My eyes opened and I saw a long-sleeved flannel shirt draped across my shoulders. It was purple and this gave me enough evidence to point onto who gave it too me. That was when I heard murmurs from Patton and Roman. These bitches.

"For god sake!" V shouted, "this is a fucking goose chase! It is merely impossible too find such a small proportion of people. Also, who the fuck steals kids in the rain." Patton was disgusted at his language but that was the last friendly thing I would be able too focus on today.
The street lamps went dim.

The clouds grew darker.

The rain fell harder.

A shiver ran through me.

A cold chuckle ran through the desolate street.

Shit...

Oop spoke to soon didn't he. Also how do you eat KitKats cause I have a friend who eats it like Virgil. What is your weirdest concoction of food or unpopular eating opinion? Yes, the more chocolate argument with the KitKat was one used by my friend. Thank you for the 900 views, like I'm so close to 1k! Until next time, adios!
