After the game, Remus went to his car, he had hoped to see more of Janus throughout the game but had no such luck. Just as he was about to enter his car, someone called his name. It was hard to decipher who it was, it was midnight and everyone in the stands were now heading to their cars.
The person got closer and Remus realized it was just Patton and Roman. "Hey, can you drive us home?" He rolled his eyes, "Don't you guys have a bus?" They shrugged. "Well, yeah, but you're already here so I'd rather ride with you than wake up Mom and Ma." Remus snorted. "What do you care? You always-" Remus looked between Roman and Patton and sighed. "You don't want to ask them if he can stay over, do you?" "Nope." Roman replied with a pop.
"Fine, just don't mention all my trash." "Aw, Re, I've been doing that since you were born." Roman replied then dragged Patton to the trunk to unload their duffle bags.
"Hey, Remus, right?" I go to one game and all of a sudden everyone knows my name. Remus thought, he just wanted to go home and sleep, maybe dream about Janus.
He turned and saw, speak of the devil, Janus with two other boys, one wearing an olive green shirt with 'Wayside ROTC' on the sleeve, the other wearing a dry-fit shirt with 'Wayside Band' printed on the front.
Remus nodded, not really knowing what else to say. Janus smiled. "I was just wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow? Just with some friends so it's nothing too big but-" Janus trailed off as Remus nodded excitedly, both boys left with wide smiles.
"Virgil, that is impossible, one cannot "yeet" someone across the Great Wall of China. Even if you could, it would be illogical and ill-advised, someone would be bound to get hurt." Virgil rolled his eyes, "Duh, that's the point, nerd." Logan sighed and looked at Janus, still talking to the boy he met earlier. He looked a little off to the side and saw two people going through the boy's trunk.
Logan nudged Virgil and gestured to the two people. "Do you think Jan's boyfriend is being robbed?" Virgil asked. A car passed by and a light shone on the two "thieves", only then did Virgil and Logan realize it was the quarterback and the cheerleader they saw earlier, because they both have terrible night vision and couldn't recognize them at first.
Virgil's eyes widened and he turned to Logan, "I'll do it if you do." Logan took in a deep breath and nodded, Virgil following as he made his way to Roman and Patton.
"Well, you never know, kiddo. Sometimes the universe has a strange way of finding you a boyf-" Logan cleared his throat, Patton and Roman turned to face them and noticeably lightened up. "Hello, I'm Logan, this is Virgil. We saw you guys earlier and, if you wouldn't mind-"
Virgil cut him off. "Would you wanna hang out tomorrow? Our friend is going to pick up your friend, we can give you guys a ride too." Virgil suggested with a questioning tone. Roman forced himself not to squeal in excitement, he knew Patton was doing the same. "Yeah, sounds good. He's my brother and Patton's staying the night so we'll all be at the same address."
Virgil smirked, "Cool. See you tomorrow, Romano." Logan gave Patton a small nod and a smile, then followed Janus and Virgil to their own car. Once they got in, they all had blushes on their faces but didn't say anything, driving off to their houses.
Roman, Patton, and Remus entered their car and immediately started gushing about their individual experiences. Remus eventually started driving back to their house but they were all still excitedly rambling about what was to come tomorrow.
~~bonus, like one or two years later~~
Roman smiled as Patton ranted about tonight's football game, talking over the other excited teenagers on the bus. He wasn't completely paying attention, he was just thinking about getting to see Virgil during his ROTC drills before the game. What I wouldn't give for that man to step on me-
The bus pulled to a stop and the coaches explained the rules for everyone before letting them all off the bus. Patton grabbed his bag, pulling Roman into a tight hug. "You're gonna do great! I'll be cheering you on the whole time." Roman smiled and waved to Patton until he skipped out of sight, going to the field with the other cheerleaders to practice.

Logan rolled his eyes as Virgil finally came running from the entrance as fast as he could. "Sorry, Lo. The traffic was terrible-" Logan cut him off, shoving his uniform into his hands. "I've heard it all before, I'm used to it. Just get changed, I have to go."
Virgil smiled, "Thanks, Lo. You're seriously the best!" He shouted to his friend as he ran to the changing room.

Remus lazily chewed on his Sour Punch Straws, laying of his back across the bench with his eyes closed, basically letting everyone know he was saving a seat. He knew he should be on his brother's side to support him but Roman was happy Remus showed up at all. Besides, he knew Remus sat on the opposing side for one reason only.
"Aw, you got the party started without me?" Remus's eyes snapped open and grinned at Janus's shadowy figure, which was thankfully blocking the sunlight. He sat up and allowed Janus to sit down next to him, adjusting his shirt as he did so. He and Janus were wearing fishnet crop tops, green and yellow respectively, with baggy black cargo pants. Janus was more confident than him though so Remus wore a black tank top underneath.
"Who's winning?" "Don't know, don't care. Don't they have a board for that?" Janus wrapped an arm around Remus's shoulders and smiled. "Remus, darling, I have a surprise for you." Remus licked the sugar off his fingers and folded the plastic container. "Oh yeah? What's that?" Janus pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to his boyfriend, dropping his arm from his shoulders.
Remus furrowed his eyebrows and took the paper. "Weird way to propose but okay..." He mumbled, Janus snorted but waited patiently as he opened it and read the first line. "Mr. Blair...proud to inform...accepted..." Remus mumbled as he read, gasping a few moments later when it finally clicked. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you got- oh my god!"
Janus laughed and pulled him into a hug. "I got in! I got it this morning, I thought you should be the first to know, seeing as how you kind of helped me study for the SAT's." Remus dismissed him with a hand wave, "I'm more proud of myself for actually helping you. So many late nights, too many vocabulary words..." Remus visibly shuddered, laughing when Janus shoved him lightly.
"Hey, this is supposed to be my moment." Janus complained, Remus nodded and kissed his cheek. "I know and I'm very proud of you."

Virgil messed with Roman's jersey and frowned. "We have to get out there soon." Roman placed one more kiss on Virgil's lips and smiled. "Here, take this..." Roman handed Virgil his class ring. "And pray I don't get a concussion the whole time." Virgil raised an eyebrow. "One, this is super cheesy and outdated. Two, now that you've planted that idea in my brain I will fear you getting a concussion until football season is over."
"Does that mean you don't want it?" Roman reached for the ring, Virgil slapped his hand away and slid the ring onto his finger. "Shut up. I just point out your cheesiness, you aren't supposed to actually listen to me." Roman smirked. "See you after the game."
He winked at Virgil and ran around the building to the field, strapping his helmet on as he went. Virgil shook his head at his idiocy with a small chuckle. He forced himself off the wall and made his way to the fence where he'd get the flags and drill guns.

Patton ensured he was within Logan's eye-line as he did some marching warm ups. Patton smiled and did a few cartwheels, twists, even a triple tuck. When he was done, the audience applauded him but he only cared about Logan. The boy was standing at the fence, staring at his boyfriend in awe with a slacked jaw.
Logan sharply turned around and said something to the band director, sneaking one last glance at Patton before walking away. Patton giggled a bit, 'Of course he'd get in trouble for drooling over his boyfriend.' Patton thought amusedly before returning to his cheers.
