When Virgil finally felt ready to go back to collage, he had hoped to see Janus's pleasent face at his first day back but he wasn't there yet. Which let him wonder if Janus got sick, because he would be always one of the first ones there. Soon enough the teacher came in and began their lesson.
At lunch break, Virgil made his way through the crowded hall, heading for his locker infront the caffeteria. Remus was in the meantime following him close, watching over him like a agressiv but protective pitbull, literally. He growled at anyone that came too close for his taste. And wouldn't listen when Virgil tried to call him off.
Even to a point where Virgil had to physically hold him back, just like a real one. Whereupon Remus acidantelly pushed him away as he was pitbulling at a passing student and straight into Janus who had just cut the corner behind him, who catched him right away.
"Whoa, carefull there", Janus said a little annoyed but friendly. Virgil jumped back straight away and just stood there, frozen with his mouth wide open, trying to say anything but only gaspped like a fish on land.
Janus was in his normal clothes even more like a pretty badass than he firstly thought. Still in hat and gloves, he also wore a dark mid-sleeve shirt with yellow and golden snake patterns and symbols on it. Along with black jeans and an dark jacket bounded around his waist. Giving up a weird bad boy with style vibe, other than Remus who was just chaos through and through.
"Oh hi Virgil, long time no see." Janus greated him with a pleasnt smile, whereupon Virgil unfroze and nooded in response, avoiding direkt eye contact as much as possible. "I was a bit worried when you didn't came to school the next day. Everything alright?" Janus asked looking him direktly into Virgils blushed face as his head drop slightly. "I-I'm fine. I just got ill afterwards", he answered with a week but honest smile. Janus looked at him with an raised eyebrow but didn't aksed any further.
"By the way", Virgil asked a bit nervous. "Where had you been, you weren't in class earlier. N-Not that I was worried." Janus gave a short giggle.
"Just a little argument with the sience teacher, nothing all to treatening." Virgil nooded in aknowleamet
Janus cleared his throat. "Anyway. Gotta go now. Glad you're back. See you later in class." He turned over to Virgils silent companien. "Remus." And with that he walked passt the two and disappeared in the corwed hallway.
"Well", Remus began as he put his hands on his hips. "That was...something." Virgil suddenly snaped out of his thoughts and pushed him on the ground before marching annoyed away. "What?" Remus yelled as he got up and ran after him.
For the following days Virgil took every orptunity to talk and to spending time with Janus. Now that he knew Virgil existed. They mostly met before class, or in the classes they got together, at the lunch break or team up in PE or other classes. Or doing task projects together - anything really at this point. But all those meetings had become more akward again for some reason.
Mostly for Virgil who just looked at him, trying to find any word in the human langues while Janus did the talking for the most part. While Virgil was only nooding or shacking his head everytime Janus asked something to get anything out of him. It was just like before their first introduction at the party. Maybe because of the weeks long recovery, Virgil forgot how to talk to another human being.
Soon Virgil managed to throw a few words in the conversation himself. Then, one day Janus asked him something Virgil would had never expected. Mostly because he didn't know how JANUS felt about him.
"WHAT!" Virgil squeecked at Janus who repeated himself with a girn. "Do you wanna go out with me?" He giggled, while trying his best not to break out in laughter because of Virgils reaction.
"I uh, mhm y-ou..w-we...uh .", his mind stopped working. At this moment he would had wished that Remus was there with him, translating his mash brain into words for Janus to understand. But he didn't really seem to mind it at all. He simply stood there with a friendly smile, waiting for his answer.
(Then he remembered how to move his head to signalise the person infront him that he argees with their request) Virgil nodded with a bright red face and half open mouth.
"Great, meet me at the coffee shop down the street after school. See you then", and with that he walked down the hallway, leaving the college for the day.
Virgil just looked after him, still speechless as Remus suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind him and sqeecked happily as he threw himself on his back, giving Virgil almost a heart attack.
"My boy has a date", he cheered while Virgil catched his breath. "So. How ya feelin' big bo-." Virgil slapped him again across the face, out of reflex, before marching back into class, leaving a confussed Remus left behind in the empty coridoir. "What? What is it this time" Remus shouted after him as he ran after him.
