This is my gift for @phantomslogic! I was asked for Logan but I added some Loceit haha
I hope this works! Happy Holidays :)
(Slight nsfw?? Remus makes a single kinda dirty joke at the end but there is literally nothing else)

Logan sighed. That had been a very, very long day. Trying to keep up with Thomas’ wellbeing was hard, even though it was his job. Especially considering the others weren’t helping much. They were selfish, in their own ways, which isn’t inherently always a bad thing, as he’d learned from Janus.
Actually, Logan thought, there is one person that does help out.
Janus himself.
He was an advocate for Thomas’ wellbeing and self care, and although this sometimes slowed down productivity a bit, Logan had to admit it was better for Thomas. That was something he admired in the man; he kept a clear head and knew what to do. Not that it was the only thing he admired about him. Logan doesn’t usually notice a lot about people, but small details about Janus keep catching his eye.
His scales tend to reflect light well, almost as if they were glowing sometimes. His eyes also, metaphorically, shone that bright.
He had a nice fashion sense too. The yellow compliments the black, in Logan’s opinion. It matches his… ‘aesthetic’ very well. Is that the word? Most likely.
He was excellent at chess. Logan had played a few games against the reptilian and they drew multiple times, which was impressive. Logan could be tough competition.
And-
His thoughts were interrupted by an alarm beeping on his phone. He always had it set for 5pm, 10 minutes before the rest of the sides ate dinner. He had a tendency to overwork himself, so he needed a reminder to go take a break.
He stood up with a sigh, fixing his glasses. He didn’t usually get so distracted with his thoughts, but here he was. He opened his door and made his way downstairs.
Janus was the only one there when he arrived. Of course the side he was thinking about was there.
The snake man waved at him. Logan nodded.
“Hello, Janus.”
“Good evening, Logan. You’re early.”
“So are you.”
He sat down across the table from Janus, summoning a glass of water. He took a small sip, sighing. Janus noticed his face. He could tell when the blue side was distracted.
“Is everything alright, Logan?” He asked.
“Hm? Oh, yes I’m alright.”
“That’s a lie. You are very clearly distracted.”
“I- yes, you’re right, but it’s nothing of consequence.”
“Clearly it is, you usually take bigger sips.”
“Why do you know how I drink my water?”
“I… I’m very observant. Come on, what’s on your mind?”
“I-I suppose I’m just… thinking. There’s somethi- someone on my mind.”
Janus raised an eyebrow. “Someone?”
“Yes.”
“Who might that be, pray tell?” Janus asked, sipping on his drink which Logan could only assume was wine. He truly hoped Janus was sober for this.
“Well… you, if you don’t mind me saying.”
Janus choked slightly on the drink, placing it down.
“I- me? Is that right?”
“Well, yes… I believe in a romantic way? Perhaps… I’m not sure, I have no experience with romance-”
Suddenly, Janus reached over and grabbed his tie, pulling him in for a sudden kiss. Logan didn’t know how to respond at first, before trying to match Janus’ movements. They didn’t take it any further, just appreciating the moment.
After a bit of time, they pulled away.
“Tell me, how did that feel?” Janus asked.
“Good. Very… enlightening.”
“Is that so?” Janus asked, a smile playing on his lips. Logan allowed himself to smile back.
“Yes. I believe I was correct when I said I was… in love.”
“That’s good. Me too.”
“Excellent. Shall we resume?”
“That sounds… satisfactory.”
“Just satisfactory?”
“Come here.”
With a smile, Janus leaned back in. Logan seemed to know what he was doing this time.
“Ahem..?”
“Ah-! Remus, I- we-”
“No no, don’t stop on my part, braincells! Please, do continue.”
“I- Janus, shall we take this elsewhere? We can get food later.”
“We don’t even need food, we’re in Thomas’ mind. Come on, let’s go. Goodbye, Remus.”
“Use protection!”
“REMUS!”
thinking abt that end poem rendition but the hermits by @neoncat666 and @thatreallyminecraftsmygender, an actual work of art that made me cry so i illustrated it ;;
How to make an edible version of Frozen Treat Set from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Careful not to use it as furniture though, unlike the in game version it WILL MELT. Watch it in action here.
What You Need:
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 TBL milk
Pinch of salt
Scant ¼ tsp blue drink mix, I like raspberry lemonade
½ cup heavy cream
1 drop blue gel color, optional
In a small bowl, combine condensed milk, milk, salt and drink mix. Mix thoroughly until it thickens, that’s the citric acid reacting with the milk. Set aside.
Whip cream to stiff peaks. Add a dollop or two of the whipped cream to the sweet milk mixture to lighten it. Add the mixture to the cream and lightly fold it in. You can add a little food color into it at this point if you want.
Put mixture into your desired ice pop mold. I like silicone ones, but you can use whatever you like! Freeze for 30 minutes, put in popsicle sticks then freeze for another 2-4 hours.
General audience, POST POF
Summary: Roman is fed up with sharing a room. He wants Janus to help him get rid of Remus for just a moment but makes a nice discovery instead. They decide to.. compromise.
