WARNING: THIS STORY IS KINDA OLD SO IT'S KINDA CRINGE. I WAS YOUNGER WHEN I WROTE IT. JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND!
Roman and Remus went inside the hospital building, Chinese food in hand. Despite both of them complaining, they agreed to wait and eat with Janus.
"We're here for Janus!" Remus said to the receptionist, the lady nodding, "Down the hall, his door is open."
The twins thanked her, rushing down the hall, spotting Janus' room instantly.
"Does Dec- er, Janus even like Chinese food?" Roman asked, correcting himself on the name.
The name Janus was starting to seem more cool and less weird. Him, Remus, and Janus all had names that had to do with Roman gods!
..or was it Greek gods?
Logan would know.
"We've had it before. He's only a fan of it when he's not feeling well," Remus swung the bags of food, "And he's not feeling well."
Remus walked into the room first, "Janus!" he chirped, setting the bags down and running to the cursed teen, hugging him.
Janus chuckled, hugging his boyfriend back, "Hey, miss me?"
Roman picked the bags up, smiling at how Remus was nuzzling Janus, "Why did you have to tell me your actual naaaaaaame! You'd be at school instead of in this stupid hospital!"
Janus sighed, running his fingers through Remus' soft hair, "But I didn't want you to know my name, and I do regret it."
Remus huffed, but continued to snuggle his partner.
"We brought Chinese food," Roman said, setting the bag on a chair, taking out the containers.
"I got you noodles with chicken and broccoli!" Remus said, hoping off to grab the food.
Roman got himself some spring rolls and vegetable fried rice. Remus bought himself dumplings and spicy noodles. He also got three rice containers, one with broccoli and beef, and many packets of soy sauce for whoever wanted them.
The three started to eat, talking about whatever came to mind.
"Oh yeah," Remus shoved a dumpling in his mouth, " 'R fthr came hm."
Janus blinked, "I absolutely know what you said," he deadpanned, his tounge stick out at the lie.
"Our father came home," Roman said, losing his appetite at the thought of him, but continuing to eat. Not everyday they get Chinese food. They were just lucky their mom gave them a lot of money for food.
Janus' eyes went wide, "Wait, your biological father, who left you guys, came back?" he asked, forcing himself to speak the truth.
Remus swallowed, nodding, "Yep, mom has to leave for a week, and according to her, that guy was the only one who could watch us. Even though we're 17."
Janus frowned, "If I was in bed, I could've volunteered to stay with you guys.." he had guilt in his tone.
"Don't," Renus glared, "It isn't your fault you're in poor condition."
"It isn't though," Janus hissed, "If I hadn't said my name, I wouldn't be able to care for you two."
Janus loves both of the brothers dearly. It's just different love for each. He loves Remus in a romantic way, but loves Roman in a bestfriend-little-brother-son way. He protects them both, and absolutely loves to hang out with them.
But he can't if he's in the hospital.
"If I was 18," Janus growled, "I couldn't sign myself out."
He was 17, but he was still older then the twins. He was actually about to be 18. He's been trying to get a job, but not many places want a cursed kid to work for them.
Logan and Virgil have jobs. Emily use to have one. Remy is trying to find one. Patton says he doesn't need to worry about a job yet, though he seems to want one as well. Remus won't get one because that would mean being away from Roman, and Roman won't get one because of his wing.
Janus was surprised when Virgil told him about his jobs. Yes, jobs. The emo had more then one. He said he had something big planned, and told Janus what it was.
Janus thought it was very sweet of Virgil, but he doesn't see how he can do it.
And Janus won't say what it is, he promised not to. So absolutely no one gets to know what it is until Virgil decides to tell everyone.
"Don't worry," Roman tried to reassure, but he still looked uncomfortable, "He isn't that bad."
Remus scoffed, but continued to eat his noodles.
Janus scowled, "Hm.."
"What if you didn't stayed at my place?"
Remus' eyes went a bit wide, "Oh shit, that could work. I could sleep on your bed, Princey could sleep on the couch or something."
Roman made a face at the nickname, but was growing to actually like it.
"I don't need someone to care for my pet too," Janus said, feeling better knowing he did at least something to help.
Roman looked nervous still, "Would mom be ok with that? And what about dad, he could technically call the cops and say we ran away.." and they technically were going to.
Remus huffed, "I can talk to him about it, I got it handled," he grinned, "Don't you worry a single feather in your wing, I have a plan."
Roman's wing twitched, "If you say so."
A doctor walked in, a smile on her face, "Do you need any- oh!"
"Dr. Eve!" The twins shouted, setting their food down and rushing to her.
"Oh my," she stumbled back at the hug, "Hello Remus and Roman! I didn't expect to see you two today. Shouldn't you be in school?"
"Roman hurts too much to go to school," Remus said.
"Oh?" Dr. Eve gave the other twin a worried look, "What hurts?"
"It doesn't hurt when I have my wing out, so I'm fine," Roman waved it off, "It only hurts when I hide it for a while."
"Well that's to be expected by everyone," Dr. Eve nodded, "But you only have one. The time you can keep it hidden without being in pain triples.
Roman sighed, "I know.."
Dr. Eve frowned, "I'll give your mother a call to see if she'd like to do an appointment with me, I'd like to check on you."
Remus shook his head, "You'll have to do it in a week, she isn't home. Job thing."
"Ah," Dr. Eve smiled, "I understand. I'll call her in a week then."
Roman and Remus moved away, going back to their food. Dr. Eve smiled kindly at Janus, "Are you good on everything?"
Janus nodded, "No."
"Good," she said, "Oh, and your mother called to see how you were. She wanted me to ask if you'd unblock her and your dad so she can call you."
Janus hissed, "Yes, tell her she can't come see me herself if she's soooo worried."
Remus knew Janus' parents was a touchy subject, so he went to change it, "Uhhhh Dr. Eve!" he picked up an unopened container of rice, "Have so rice! No one eat any out of this one yet, and we have enough food for ourselves."
"Oh I couldn't," Dr. Eve declined politely, "It's your food, I'm fine."
"Please?" Roman asked, "I know doctors and nurses don't get to eat all the time, and some rice won't hurt you."
"Well," Dr. Eve was quiet as she debated in her mid if she should have some or not, "I.. guess I could accept your offer, thank you dearly." She smiled, taking the container.
"You're welcome!" The twins shouted at the same time, Remus adding after, "You'll need to get your own fork. Take some soy sauce packets too! Plain rice isn't too good."
She accepted the packets, "Thank you, and I'll get a fork from the cafeteria. I must leave now, I have a meeting in a few minutes, it was nice seeing you two."
"We'll be here all day," Remus chirped, "So come back soon!"
Roman nodded, "Yeah! We enjoy hanging out with you!"
"I might stop by later," Dr. Eve said, waving bye to the three, "Bye!"
With that, she walked out, leaving the teenagers to themselves again.
"Sooo," Remus clapped his hands, "Who wants to watch The Good Doctor?" he asked with hope.
"Sure!" Roman cheered.
"No, I don't want to watch it," Janus agreed- or disagreed? -scooting over so the twins could lay in bed with him, Remus in the middle and Roman on the left.
Remus pulled the episode they were on, the three eating what was left of their food and watching on his phone, enjoying their time together.
Roman smiled, it was like how it was. Just him, his brother, and his bestfriend. Just the three, before he met the others.
It was nice to hang out with just Remus and Janus.
