Ch. 2
"Please don't embarrass me."
"Me? Embarrassing?" Remus rose a brow. "Okay, Mr. Sings-Disney-Songs-In-His-Underwear-At-5-AM."
"That--"
"We're here." Remus said, parking the car.
They both looked out the window, finding a huge school looming in front of them.
"Vine Academy..." Roman muttered under his breath.
"Okay." Remus turned to Roman. "We have to promise that if we find no friends, we hang out with each other."
"Well, duh." Roman rolled his eyes.
They both got out of the car.
Shooting each other a quick look of encouragement, they walked into the building.
---
Roman was immediately tackled. He hit the floor with a groan, and glared at his brother when he burst into cackles.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" The person on top of his apologized, climbing off.
He had had blonde, curly hair. It didn't seem like he tried too hard to style it. Behind a pair of glasses, were two bright blue eyes.
He was cute, Roman decided.
"Are you okay?" The boy asked, standing up and offering him a hand.
"And this is why I told you not to run." Another boy said, walking up to them.
He had dark brown hair, which had been carefully styled to perfection. He also had glasses, but a pair of brown eyes were behind them.
"But Lo-Lo! I wanted to meet the new transfers." The other boy complained.
"Well, you just ran one over." Roman mumbled, dusting himself off.
They both snapped their head to them, eyes wide.
Then the one dubbed "Lo-Lo" had amusement dancing in his eyes, while the cute one looked like he was about to cry.
"I'm so sorry!" He apologized again, grabbing Roman's hand and frantically shaking it. "Please, forgive me!"
"Uh, it's fine." Roman mumbled, glancing at Remus for help. "I'm Roman."
"I'm Patton!" The cute boy told him. "And this is my friend Logan!"
"A pleasure." Logan said, holding out his hand.
Roman shook it, but was quickly shoved out of the way by Remus.
Remus vigorously shook Logan's hand. "And I'm Remus!" He chirped. He released Logan's hand. "I just licked my hand, by the way."
Logan glanced back and forth between his hand and Remus.
"Remus!" Roman exclaimed, punching his arm.
"Ow! What?!" Remus yelled.
"You can't do that to someone you just met!"
"So you're saying that if we knew them better, I could do it all I want?"
"Wh--No!"
Patton laughed, which caused the twins to both turn to him. "You two are funny! I think Janus would like Remus in particular."
"Janus?" Roman asked, surprised that there might be someone who could enjoy Remus' company.
"He's on his way here." Logan told them, pulling out a wet wipe. "Listen, there's a reason we were looking for you."
"We?!" Patton gasped, turning to Logan with starry eyes.
Logan shot Patton an unimpressed look. "There's a reason he was looking for you."
"And that is?" Roman tilted his head.
"Well, I know how difficult it can be to change schools!" Patton grabbed Roman's hands. "And I know how hard it can be to make new friends!"
"So what? You wanna be our friend?" Remus snorted. Patton nodded.
"Yep!" Patton chirped.
"He does this every time there are transfer students." Logan grumbled. "You can try to refuse, I did. He's very persistent."
Patton hooked his arms around Remus and Roman's shoulders. He began walking foward, pretty much forcing the twins to join him.
"So, you're twins?" Logan asked, walking next to them.
"I thought that was pretty obvious." Remus rose a brow.
"Apologies, small talk is not my forte." Logan pushed up his glasses.
"Hey, where the hell are you going?"
They all turned around.
A boy with a black beanie on was standing there. Half of his face had a large red mark on it. Dirty blonde hair peeked out of his hat.
"Who are they?" He asked, pointing to Remus and Roman.
"Janny!" Patton squealed, releasing Roman and Remus. He opened his arms, running to him.
The boy side stepped, causing Patton to crash into the wall.
"This is Roman and Remus." Logan told him.
"It's Remus and Roman actually." Remus corrected. Roman rolled his eyes, but didn't comment on it.
"Janus Orm." The boy said, pointing to himself. "And before you ask, it's a birthmark."
"Wasn't planning on asking." Roman said.
"That's what they all say." Janus rolled his eyes. "So, are these the transfers?"
"No, I'm the transfer. He's my footstool." Remus scoffed. Roman punched him in the arm.
Janus snorted. "I like this one." He told Logan.
"I don't." Logan said bluntly.
"Don't be offended, Logan's like that with anyone." Patton whispered to Remus.
"It's fine, I don't like me either." Remus shrugged.
Janus and Logan instantly snapped their heads to Remus.
"Shit--"
"You shouldn't have said that--"
"What...?" Patton asked, looking like he could burst into tears at any moment.
He grabbed Remus' hands, apparently forgetting that Remus had previously licked them.
"Don't say that!" Patton cried. "You are a beautiful, handsome, amazing human being! Don't ever talk bad about yourself like that!"
Roman had never seen Remus speechless before, he had to admit that he was impressed.
"Stop." Logan mumbled, slapping their hands until they let go of each other. He handed both of them wet wipes.
"Since when were you a germaphobe?" Janus rose a brow. Logan, who apparently didn't feel like explaining himself, just stared blankly at him.
"Listen, we have to go get our schedules." Roman told them.
"We'll come with you." Logan asserted before anyone could disagree.
A/N:
I'm aware that it is very slow right now, but I promise we'll start picking up soon.
