Remus has some big pet ideas, Janus starts thinking smaller. Either way- this time, one of Remus’ behaviours might be more modelled after myself than my sibling... (whoops!)

“A yellow cat?” he smirked slightly.
“Or a green one,” Remus responded, “or maybe stripes could be amazing!”
Janus raised his eyebrows “You do know cats don’t come in those colors, right?”
“You do know we own spray-paint- right?” Remus mimicked, giggling.
It was tempting. Not to spray-paint cats, but to just let Remus do whatever (which maybe included letting him paint a cat). Still. If this meant Janus had to be responsible, then sure.
“So no cat…”
“What?!” Remus screeched “What d’ya mean ‘no cat’?”
“Maybe you’re just not responsible… what about a fish? Lots of very brightly coloured ones o those?” he taunted, adjusting his hat as he opened the aquarium catalogue.
“Stop being stupid, we’re get- oh wait, do they have piranhas?” Remus snatched the catalogue off of him and started flicking it open.
“We are not g-”
“We are SO getting piranhas!”
“They’re not as interesting as you think, you know…” he sighed.
Remus laughed. “Shut up! You sound like Logan!”
“Hello.” The aforementioned guy had just appeared beside them “are you two planning on leaving the store anytime soon?”
“We were going to, you know, get a pet first.” Janus retorted.
“You’ve been in here for three hours, twenty-eight minutes and thirty-one… thirty-two… thirty-”
“OKAY! But you know, Remus… exists…” Janus pointed over to his friend who shrugged. “he kept suggesting we spray-paint cats!”
“Then don’t get a cat.” Logan rightly pointed out “get something we can keep out of his reach, like a fish or a reptile.”
“A snake?!” Janus perked up.
“That’s not what I said-”
“It’s what I heard…”
“Then that is extremely worrying and you should visit an audiolo- REMUS THAT’S NOT EDIBLE!”
He abandoned argument halfway through to tackle one green-clad terror, who had somehow gotten at the pet-store’s rat-treat’s. (Specifically the exquisite little strawberry-flavoured hearts they do that should NOT be restricted to rodent-only.)
“Well.” Janus tutted, approaching a tank with a couple of corn snakes curled in it. “What am I going to do with you, then?”
