Ranked Pt. 3 {Demus}

Third Person

Kissing someone that is practically a stranger isn't something you can just brush off. Especially if that kiss is heated and done against the wall of a school, after you called out the new kid for being full of sh!t. Having to see that person every single day in between your classes doesn't help the awkwardness that had formed between them.

Two weeks after their kiss, Janus and Remus had yet to talk to each other about it. Janus simply didn't want to think about the kiss, and the mixed feelings it caused him. Remus never sought Janus out because he had a reputation to uphold. Neither wanted to think too much about it, and therefore, never tried to work through it. It's not like bottling up your feelings will cause them to eventually punch you in the face, forcing you to acknowledge their existence or anything...

Janus was, as usual, skipping chemistry. It's not like he was ever gonna need to know the entire periodic table, and Mr. Ames also happened to be super annoying. It was honestly a win-win; Janus didn't like Mr. Ames, and Mr. Ames didn't like Janus, so why should he show up?

He chose his usual hangout at the back of the school, where the only cameras were pointed towards the trash cans in case a raccoon problem arose, or if a murderous student tried to get rid of a body. Most people avoided this place because of the inescapable feeling that you would be kidnapped if you stayed back here too long, but 'most' might be a bit of an exaggeration. After all, the school's newest prep was sitting on the pavement, tearing apart some poor grass blades.

Even Logan would be able to tell that Remus had a bad day, or rather, bad few days. Despite what most people think, Janus is not a complete jerk. If he found a random freshman that he didn't hate crying in the bathroom, he would try to help them, no strings attached. Apparently none of them wanted to admit that they had been crying in a bathroom though, seeing as no one really shared those particular stories.

For once, sympathetic Janus decided to make an appearance as he took a seat next to Remus, "Something must be wrong if you're skipping class. What's up?"

"Nothing," He brushes it off.

"Don't make me annoy it out of you, we both know I can. If it helps I promise not to tell anyone, even I'm not that shallow," Janus swears, placing his right hand to his heart for emphasis.

"Oh why the hell not?" Remus asks himself redundantly, "Not like I have anything left to lose. My dad decided this weekend that Roman would take over Avicen," While Janus was coming up with something to say other than, 'damn that sucks,' Remus spoke up again, "Not like I spent all my time trying to be the better choice, it's just always Roman, Roman, Roman."

Janus already suspected that Remus had been faking this whole good boy act but damn, that's really depressing, "And you thought having good grades, attendance, and pretending to be straight would make you the 'better' choice?" He asks, putting his hand over Remus's. He had seen the way that the other flirted back with the girls that approached him, but after their kiss, there was no way that he was straight.

"Societal pressure's a b!tch," Rem stared down at their touching hands for a moment before adding, "Do you think you could give me a makeover?" He asks, "There's no real point in hiding the 'real' me anymore, and I think your whole bad boy style is really sexy~"

It would be a complete and utter lie to say that the leather clad boy's face didn't get as red as Rudolph's nose, but he'd still swear that it hadn't. Their unexpected kiss should have tipped him off to Remus's true nature, but he still wasn't expecting such a one-eighty in personality. Even then, he couldn't stop all the outfits that sprang to mind when he looked Remus over.

"Alright, but I ain't paying for your a$$."

Remus and Janus left Hot Topic with a couple bags in each arm. The two planned on going to Jan's house so he could change into one of his new outfits and hang out with the 'hot a$$ snake.' It would certainly be a shock to his parents and Roman when he got home, but seeing their faces would be absolutely priceless.

Despite Remus's offer to watch him change, Janus went downstairs to make popcorn because the newly unfiltered boy wanted to watch every single sex/slasher film that he never saw for fear of someone walking in. The last thing he needed when he cared about his reputation was for Roman to tattle that he was watching Friday the 13th.

When Remus came back to Janus's room, where the other had already started the movie, his jaw dropped. Janus's opinion may be biased but he fully believed that Remus looked better in a leather jacket than Remy. It didn't help that green was definitely his color, and that the ripped jeans went perfectly with his mussed up hair. Heck, the formerly-sophisticated boy had even found and used some silver hair dye. Granted, it was only temporary but he seemed to really like it, so Janus might have to get Virgil to dye it for Remus.

Aside from the occasional inappropriate comment from Remus, the two watched the movies in silence. And when Remus set his hand on Janus's, neither of them said anything. They stayed quiet even after Janus entwined their hands. Neither wanted to break the silence that had only been interrupted by the screams of poorly-paid actors.

Labels weren't everything, so they weren't about to put one on this new, shaky relationship. That could wait, because they weren't planning on separating anytime soon. 

A/N: So that's the final part! This is probably my least favorite of the three parts but writer's block and depression suck so it wasn't gonna get better
