Remus scowled as he watched Janus from afar, chatting it up with the little head cheerleader he has been talking about non-stop. Everything was falling apart, Janus barely wanted to hang out anymore, he didn't want to smoke, he didn't want to vandalize property or steal! He even started to dress differently! Gone were their matching black denim jackets with their own unique patches covering every inch. Instead, he chose a black turtle neck today.

A turtle neck!

His frown only deepened as Janus turned away from the cheery squirt and headed towards him, a clear dusting of pink on his cheeks. His giddy expression seemed to fade as he noticed Remus' glare and as he stood in front of him, he shoved his hands into his pockets and raised an eyebrow.

"What's with that look?"

Remus pursed his lips and crossed his arms. "Seem to like hanging with that little cheerleader a lot. And that preppy nerd and Roman! What gives? You never want to hang out anymore!"

Janus pressed his lips together and shook his head. "Remus, your idea of hanging out is breaking the law."

"Since when have you cared about that shit?!"

"Since deciding I don't want to end up in prison," Janus hisses.

Remus frowned and clenched his fists. "Well, I like you the way you are when we're driving in your car! And you're talking to me one on one and then- you become somebody else around everyone else! You watch your back like you can't even fucking relax! If you're trying to be cool and fit in then give up! You look like a fucking fool!"

Janus growled and clicked his tongue. "Listen, Remus, just because I actually have a plan, a future ahead of me doesn't mean I'm trying to act cool. Maybe if you fucking grew up and starting thinking further than your next joint then we wouldn't be fighting!"

"We wouldn't be fighting if you weren't faking it!" Remus screeched and at this point, people were beginning to stare so Janus pinched at the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"I'm not doing this right now Remus, we can talk about this later—"

"No," Remus huffs, turning his head to the side, and Janus was suddenly taken back by the shiny tears in his eyes. Softening he reached out a hand to attempt to comfort him.

"Remus—"

"No!" He snaps, slapping his arm around before turning on his heel.

"You're a liar!"

Janus flinched but didn't follow after him.
