“My name… My name is Janus.” I stared at him, and his single bare hand. Another name. He trusts us with his name? I smiled ever so slightly for a moment, though the night’s events still haunted me.

“Pffft! Janus?!” Roman laughed, “What are you, a middle school librarian? It’s a stupid name.”

“Oh, Roman thank god you don’t have a moustache. Otherwise, between you and Remus, I wouldn’t know who the evil twin is,” De- Janus shot back. I tried to speak up, to make things right… but what would I say? Could I even fix this? My voice failed me. I looked away from Roman, not wanting to see his pain.

“Are you guys seriously gonna take his side?”

“N-no I…”

“Over me?”

“He-”

“Thomas… I thought I was your hero.”

“Y-You are!” I stayed silent, unsure what to do; what to say.

“Wow! I can’t believe this. Did you forget that he’s EVIL?! You’re not! Or you’re not supposed to be. You’re supposed to be good!” I… am good?

 -----------

I shot up, breathing heavily, covered in sweat.

“There you are my Dear,” he hummed softly, cupping my cheek. I looked up at him.

“Janus,” I mumbled, tearing up and crying.

“Hey, hey Dear. What’s wrong?”

“Nightmare,” I mumbled, as his gloved hands wiped my tears away. I knew this was his silent prompt to say more.

“He looked at me with such pain and hatred. Am I a good person?” I cried.

“Shh, shh. It’s okay. I know it’s still painful, but it was years ago. We’re all united… well Remus has his own opinions, but he’s calmed since then.” I hiccupped, nodding slowly. I was still crying, though he was helping.

“How does hot chocolate and cuddles sound?” He asked gently, still cupping my cheek.

“It sounds good,” I mumbled. He hummed in response. He then picked me up, koala style. He walked me down to the kitchen, where Roman was drinking some almond milk.

“Hey Janus, hey Patton,” He spoke calmly. I didn’t talk, just sniffling, trying to stop crying.

“He had that nightmare again, so we are having hot chocolate and cuddles,” Janus explained, placing me on the counter.

“Remember the extra marshmallows!” Roman chirped, before finishing his glass and leaving.

Janus made our hot chocolates, as I slowly shuffled to the couch, and Janus followed. He then put on Winne The Poo for me. I rested my head on his shoulder, sipping my hot chocolate.

“I l-love you.”

“Love you too Darling.”

“Stop! Stop it!” I cried out, flying over to the scene.

“Get outta ‘ere ya stupid glitter bug!” a fisherman yelled at me. I flew at them, trying to help the mermaid that was there. There was lots of yelling. I grabbed a stick, trying to distract them, trying to help the mermaid. Finally… finally the fishermen forgot about the mermaid and began chasing me. I smiled, leading them to the edge of their boat. I assumed that they weren’t paying attention, as they fell off the edge of the boat.

“Yes! Finally!” I cheered, flying over to the mermaid. They flinched.

“Wh-what are you?”

“I’m Patton! I’m a fairy!” I chirped.

“Janus. Mermaid,” The mermaid mumbled. I smiled, flying around the mermaid.

“It’s nice to meet you!”

“Can… you help me into the water?” I nodded, gently picking him up, slowly putting him in the water, not wanting to hurt him.

“Are you okay?” I asked gently, floating just above the water.

“Better now. Thanks for… saving me.”

“Oh, it’s nothing! I just don’t like seeing humans treat us as lesser, because we aren’t like them,” I explained.

“So, you’ve saved others before?” He looked up at me, raising an eyebrow slightly. I smiled and nodded.

“Never a mermaid though.”

“Well, let’s make this special,” He spoke calmly, gently cupping my cheeks and kissing my forehead. I gasped, smiling, my cheeks growing hot. I happily grabbed his face, kissing him.

After a few moments, we gently pulled away. The flesh parts of his face were quite red. It looked nice against his yellow and black scales.

“Thank you again for saving me.”

I was sitting on the couch, darkness surrounding me, as was my warm, soft blanket. I felt a drop slide down my cheek. The fire was crackling nearby, though the light couldn’t be seen.

“Janus?” I looked up, as I tilted my head and I looked around. It was useless as I was surrounded by darkness. I then saw the small light of a phone flashlight, behind it the silhouette of another side. Who? I wasn’t able to tell at that point. The other side sat next to me, revealing who it was. Patton. In light blue pyjamas, littered with little puppies and kittens.

“Heya Jan. What’s wrong?” he asked softly. I sniffled, staying quiet, resting my head on his shoulder.

“Hm. Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana!” I smiled slightly, chuckling lightly.

“There’s that smile! Now, why don’t you tell me what’s bothering you?”

“Hey, Kiddos! What do you call the wife of a hippie? A Mississippi!” Patton chirped.

“Ugh. Why do you tell those puns, Patton? None of us think they’re funny. Just give it up,” another side groaned. It didn’t matter who it was. How dare they insult him? Especially on something that makes him so happy!

“Why was the baby ant confused? Because all his uncles were ants,” I spoke calmly, though I was seeing red. I looked at Patton. He was smiling and laughing through tears and sniffles. I walked over to him.

“It is alright. I still enjoy your jokes. They are hilarious,” I murmured, holding his hands.

“Thank you. I love you.” My eyes went wide, my face growing hot, as I refused to look at him.

“I…. I think I love you too.”
