Scaled

Managed something a bit longer for day 4 of Dukeceit Week! Also quite a bit angstier... Enjoy! @darksideweeks

Summary: Janus didn't always have his scales and when they appeared… he didn't take it well.

"Let me in, Jay." Remus had been begging for almost an hour. And it's been almost three days since he's seen his best friend. Janus had locked himself in his room and refused to come out or let anyone in. In response, Virgil had hidden himself away, too, but at least he responded to Remus when he came to check on him, even if it was just to yell at him to go away.

There was no response from Janus though.

"This is getting ridiculous, Jannie!" Remus argued through the door. "I just want to know you're alright! Just answer me!"

Still silence.

That was the end of Remus' patience.

"That's it! I'm coming in whether you like it or not!" He summoned his morning star and started going ham on the door, quickly making a big enough hole to reach through and disengage the lock.

The room he stepped into after opening the door was pitch black, the light spilling in from the hallway not illuminating much.

"J-anus?" Remus asked, quietly, cautiously. "I just need to know you're alive!"

"…Go away," came the quiet response. Remus' eyes immediately snapped towards the corner the voice had come from.

"Not until I see you! I hear voices in my head all the time, I need visual!"

"I said, go away!" Janus hissed, louder but not by much. His voice was weak as if they were back to the voice breaking stage of Thomas' puberty. Remus didn't want to go back to that, it was hard to be frightening if your voice randomly squeaked.

"Nope! I'm turning on the lights!"

"Don't you dar-!" Light flooding the room cut Janus' exclamation off. Remus' eyes found him within a second and he wasn't quick enough to hide his face.

His newly scaled face.

"Look away!" he wailed immediately, trying desperately to cover himself. The scales had been appearing on his skin in patches for a while now but this was the biggest and most visible change yet and he hated it.

"Oh, Janny…" Remus whispered, but Janus couldn't hear him as he started to loudly sob.

"I'm ugly and a monster! Go away and don't look-!"

Again his rambling was cut off but this time by Remus crashing into him and pulling him into a tight hug.

"You're not ugly! My brother's ugly and you're the one who looks least like him now!"

Janus was too stunned to argue, so Remus continued.

"You're my best friend and nothing's going to change that! Honestly, I'm envious, you look rad!"

"…I do?"

"Totally!"

Janus had stopped crying but wasn't convinced yet.

"I don't like them."

"That's okay. I like them and we can smash all the mirrors so you don't have to look at them!"

"That… doesn't seem like it's a healthy solution."

"Like I care!"

"Fair enough." Then Janus' stomach started rumbling.

"C'mon, let's get you some food!" Remus laughed, getting up and pulling Janus with him.

"You're not allowed to cook!" Janus protested.

"Then stop me!" With a grin, Remus sprinted away, leaving Janus no choice but to follow him. Maybe… things would be alright.

Outfits and even more Outfits

We're at day 2 and I'm still winging it last minute! But I'm enjoying myself, so that's all that matters. Enjoy! @darksideweeks

Summary: Janus has a lot of clothes to try on and Remus can only appreciate the view for so long.

"Why are you doing this to meeeeeee," Remus cried. He sat on the bed of their bedroom and watched as Janus tried on another outfit. At first it had been fun, seeing what Janus would fish out of their closet and watching him undress. But Remus stopped catcalling him every time after the second hour passed.

It's now been almost five.

"Jaaaaaaannniiiieeeeee," he whined, bored out of his mind.

"Yes, Remus dear?" Janus replied calmly, spinning around to see how the skirt he was currently wearing flared out.

"Are you almost done? I think I'm getting brain damage, I'm so under-stimulated!"

"You were the one who insisted on helping me," Janus shrugged, nonchalant. "I am not making you stay here."

"But I can't leave knowing you're getting naked in here!"

"I am not getting naked, Remus, I am keeping my underwear on. And you've seen me without clothes often enough, you can stand seeing it a few less times."

"But what if you are gonna get naked as soon as I leave?"

"I wouldn't do that to you, Octi, you know that."

"I'm not sure I trust you on that…"

Janus rolled his eyes, but a fond smile played on his lips.

"Fine, be my guest and stay, but don't complain to me about being bored then. This is a hell out of your own making."

He moved to unzip the skirt to change to another outfit and Remus' eyes immediately jumped to his ass.

"Maybe, but at least I have something great to look at!"
