Chapter 3: Rembel? Rebus?
Roman rose up in his brother's room. He crawled to the couch and saw Remus and Rebel sleeping together. They were both wearing t-shirts and shorts. Remus was holding Rebel close to him.
"Remu!" Roman yelled. Remus stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He smiled when he saw Rebel, but then yelped when he saw Roman. He sat up and stared at Roman, which made Rebel open his eyes.
"Mm... Remus? What are you doing?" Rebel asked and sat up. He looked over at what Remus was staring at. He jumped when he saw Roman sitting there. "Where the heck did he come from?"
"I have no idea. What do you want, brat?" Remus asked Roman. Roman just made grabby hands. "I don't know what that means..."
"I think he wants attention..." Rebel sighed and stood up. He picked Roman up.
"Yeah, as if we are giving him attention." Remus took Roman out of Rebel's arms (the 3 R's, but Rebel's name is Mark/Marcus) and put Roman on the couch.
"C'mon, he's your brother, Remus." Rebel said. "He's stuck like this until everyone figures out how to break the curse. We have to take care of him as well."
"Yeah, right..." Remus just rolled his eyes.
"You're a jerk, you know that?"
Remus stared at him. "I get told that every day, I'm used to it."
"Oh, really?"
As they kept going back and forth, Roman looked between them. He wanted to stop them from fighting, but what could a baby do?
Remus and Rebel heard crying and they looked over to Roman. He was crying and sniffling. Rebel walked over to Roman while Remus just stared at his brother. He stayed silent as Rebel rocked Roman in his arms.
Remus slowly walked over and hugged Rebel from behind.
"I'm sorry..." Remus said and kissed Rebel's cheek.
"I'm sorry too..." Rebel muttered. Rebel turned to Remus once he stopped hugging him. "How would you like to hold him?"
"I'm pretty sure that's a terrible idea," Remus said and backed away. Rebel rolled his eyes and forced Roman into Remus' arms. "M-Mark..."
Once Roman was in Remus' arms, Remus felt something in his chest.
"I think I'm getting that feeling when I met you," Remus said.
"What's that feeling?" Marcus asked.
"I think it's something my brother talks about all the time."
"Love?"
"Yes, L... L-L..." Remus had a hard time saying it. Rebel just shook his head lovingly and kissed Remus.
"You're an idiot, but at least you're my idiot." Marcus nuzzled Remus' nose. "Let's return Roman to the others."
"We need our regular clothes first."
~~~~~
Emile and Remy have given up and were exhausted on the couch.
"How did you lose him!?" Virgil yelled.
"We don't know!" Emile breathed out.
"Looking for someone?" Rebel asked. Remus was carrying Roman. Virgil looked at them with wide eyes.
"How did you guys find him?" Virgil asked.
"He appeared in Remus' room." Marcus tickled Roman, making Roman giggle. Virgil felt agitated, so he took Roman out of Remus' arms. Roman looked up at Virgil.
"Vee?" Roman said. Virgil looked at him and saw a sadness in his eyes. Virgil looked at him and then at Remus and Mark. He sighed.
"Thank you for looking after him and not killing him," Virgil said. Remus was about to say something rude, but Marcus covered his mouth.
"You're welcome." Rebel said.
