adopted by Deciet

Chapter one

Janus's Pov
I stepped into the small cafe,the door bell making that little jingling noise.(You know, like in MLP?)"Babe, so glad you could make it!"a familiar voice greeted.Remy Picani, owner of this quaint little cafe and therapy center, and a childhood friend.His dark brown hair brushed over his sunglasses, which covered his bright orange eyes.He was in his work uniform, but wore his leather jacket over his apron, so he looked like a stylish barista."Hey Remy."I said.Smiling, I took a seat at my usual spot, where a mug of hot cocoa awaited me.I was never really a coffee person,and rarely drank it.Unless I had to pull an all-nighter grading tests."You okay, Deciet?"Remy said,using my old nickname from when we played heroes as kids.I groaned."No, not really."I replied."Some kids were having a sleepover last night, and woke me up at three in the morning."Remy pulled a face, and went to go serve another customer.I sighed, and upon finishing my drink, checked in.
The receptionist flashed me a smile."Good morning Janus!"She said."Doctor Picani's waiting for you."I nodded my thanks to her,and headed down the hall towards the bright pink door.Knocking,I heard some paper rustling,and then I saw a tired looking Emile."Janus,do you how do?"He said,beaming.I smiled back."Pretty good,though you look as tired as I feel"Emile laughed.Walking into his office,I saw it was just as 'happy' as ever.Posters of different cartoons covered the walls, and the couch was covered in pillows and stuffed animals.Once Emile saw that I was comfortable, he grabbed his favorite notepad, the one he only uses for me and his husband."So, Janus, what seems to be the problem?"He asked.I shrugged."That's just it" I say,"my life's amazing, I have a good job, a nice house, and two amazing friends."Emile awws at that."But I feel like somethings missing."I bite my tongue.Emile frowns, looking at all my past quotes."Well, it can't be lonliness,and you've never really wanted a pet."His eyes lit up."Maybe, a family?"I freeze.Emile looked up."Think about it, you've never really felt much love when it came to your parents, and you see me and Remy as siblings..."He looked at me, and I finished his statement."Maybe I should adopt."I say, already forming a mental blueprint of the spare bedroom in my house."I would need to visit the nearby orphanage and try to find someone..."I trailed off.Emile smiled."Well I think that brings this session to a close."He said "Tell Remy that I want to talk with him in a bit."I nodded, mind racing.I headed back to the cafe planning on making an appointment with the orphanage when Remy called me over."So, spill the tea."He said.I sighed."Emile said that, well he said something that is making my mind race."Remy smiled."Oh, and what was that?"I smirked."He told me to adopt."I am not exagerating when I say that Remy's jaw dropped.For once, he had nothing to say."Oh, and he wants to talk to you later."I said.And on that pleasant note, I spun on my heel and walked out.
Sellene's Pov
"Sellene!"I heard Ms. Turner yell.I ran towards the source of the noise.There, in the middle of the playroom, was Ms.Turner and a crying Stella.Stella was a big bully, and the only reason I actually knew her name was because she was constantly talking about herself.Ms.T, as many of the others called her, turned towards me."Stella says that you hit her,Sellene."She said.I didn't argue.I knew better than to talk back.Seeing I was giving no resistance, she slapped me across the face.Hard."Ungrateful bitch."she said."I give you a roof to stay under and this is what I get?"she hit me again."Go clean the play area."I nodded.Hearing the other kids whispering.I could tell they were talking about me, but I didn't care.I started picking up the toys,sorting them by what they were.After that, I started cleaning up the play kitchen.I wasn't really sure what it was for, as far as I could tell you couldn't cook with it.I only knew that the other kids used It to make a mess.I wasn't entirely sure what 'play' meant either.Maybe it means mess?I don't know.I shouldn't ask questions.
After cleaning up everything, I went to sit in my little corner, hoping no one would notice me.Yeah, right.Soon after a boy came up to me and called me lots of things.I didn't understand most of it, except for a few words, but from his look I was probably in trouble.He kept on scolding me,and when he was done, he walked off.I, not knowing what to do, watched Ms.Turner talk to a tall man with a strange thing on his face.It looked shiny and smooth, and when one kid asked about it, he said it was a tatoo.What is that?Ms. T put on that strange face she does when stangers are around, and took him to the playroom.
Janus's Pov
I looked around the room, watching the kids play.There were all kinds of children here, and most of them looked a bit...snobbish.A little girl caught my eye.You could barely see her, she blended in so well with the shadows, but she was there.She watched my every movement, while still in a position so that no one could sneak up on her.When she saw that I had noticed her, she ducked down, looking terrified for her life.She had to be about 11 years old, and had pitch black hair, with stunning purple eyes.I turned towards Ms.Turner, the owner of this place."Um, I think I would like a child that is around ten to twelve years old."I said.She smiled."Alright then, Mr.Viper, Please go wait in the reception area and I'll bring everyone."
I stared at the children lined up against the wall.I had interviewed all of them, including the little girl, whose name turned out to be Sellene.I smiled at all of them, and most smiled back."Turning to the owner, I said"I would like to take home Sellene."She gasped."Are you sure, Mr.Viper."Ms.Turner said.Nodding I went up to Sellene."Well little one" I said,"Go get your things, I'm taking you home."Sellene blinked."I don't have anything."I frowned "Well, that won't do, we'll have to buy you some toys and clothes."At that, I picked her up, signed the papers, and headed out the door.
