What if you were an asexual succubus, wouldn't that be fucked up or what Chapter 7

Masterlist of chapters

When Remus speaks his native language (demon) it looks like this

At least Remus could still open normal doors. He took his eyes off of Janus for now to walk around the outside of the college building looking for a door with a mail slot. In the distance he could hear faint music but it wasn't so close as to need any worry.

Finally he found a good door and looked around before slipping his tail through the mail slot. He tried to feel for the doorknob and quickly twisted it around when he felt the metal against his tail. The door easily swung open and he closed it quietly behind him.

The hallway was pitch dark with the only light coming from the glass doors leading to the library. Remus quietly slid the knife against the back of his arm to see how sharp it was to which a thin line of his skin immdiately opened. For a moment all he saw was the white of the upper layers of his flesh before blood filled the space and tried to pour out.

It wasn't the sharpest knife he'd seen but it would be enough for a human.

His jaw still ached from the sudden loss of speech as he crept closer to the library while making sure to not walk in the light. The sound of Roman's screams were still ringing in his ears as he hid the knife under his shirt and walked into the library.

"Don't call the cops, I'm allowed to be here even at nighttime" Janus immediately said in a tired tone as if he'd had to repeat it way too many times. The man briefly looked up from his computer and his eyes stayed on Remus' bare and dirty feet for a moment "You have a point. More people should go barefeet at 3 am on a tuesday in april. Really brings a bit of zest to life"

That was all he said before turning his head back to his computer. Up until then Remus had still been in a bit of a numb dissociated state but his heart started to beat out of his chest as he realized he had not thought this through at all. He had no fucking clue what Janus had just said because he didn't speak any human fucking languages!

Remus took a long walk around the bookcases while imagining houndpuppies eating corpses to calm himself down.

By instinct his mouth opened to let out a string of swearwords directed at the Manager but no sounds came out, it only made his mouth hurt like acid had been poured onto it.

He randomly moved books around to not seem suspicious while thinking. That motherfucker Manager had sent him out to seduce and kill a human that he knew damn well Remus couldn't communicate with.

Easy. Easy! Remus told himself- Oh god he couldn¨t feel Roman, he hadn't realized how clear he used to feel his brother until it had suddenly disappeared- Easy. Focus on the murder. Murder's fun. Blood! Guts! He was already gulty of violent assault, why not add manslaughter to the list!

He just had to make that stupid human sin a little. Easy.

He was fluent in sign language and he was kind of sure that was based on english so if he thought real hard he could maybe jump loops in his mind to make sense of the language.

Remus took a deep breathe and jumped up and down on his toes to give himself the last push to walk back to the table where the human was sitting. He tapped his finger against the table to get his attention.

The manager had said he should be able to still talk to humans "...hhHHIIi" The words was like an old oak door being pushed open after decades of decay. A glimpse of white seering pain flashed before Remus' eyes.

"Oh thank god" Janus closed his laptop and looked to him "I was looking for an excuse to keep procrastinating. Hi" Remus couldn't tell if he was sarcastic or not.

He could tell his neck was soft and since Janus was sitting down it would be easy to hold him still until he'd lost enough blood.

He couldn't tell if he was a sinner though so he leant forward with his palm against the table "Uhh....Sex..?"

Janus opened his laptop again and loooked away "Nevermind" When Remus didn't move Jan gave him another glance and said "Unless you're practicing how to say the number six in Latin, no"

Remus pretty much only comprehended the word No and it was enough for his heart to start beating out of his chest again It beat so fast he could hear it in his ears. He tugged at the chair at the other end of the table from the human and slumped down with his head pressed against the cold wood.

He covered his head with his arms as the urge to scream filled his throat but all it could do was choke him. In that moment he really did want to stab the human in the guts over and over again. What if Roman was being tortured right now- That's silly, why would she be- What if Remy was being tortured- What if all of hell went through a apocalypse as soon as he was thrown out- He couldn't remember the last thing he'd said to Roman, or Remy for that matter. Or anyone. Was Roman mad at him. Happy he was gone. Was-

Even if it had happened just a bit ago he couldn't remember Roman's facial expression while he had gotten his voice taken away. It was like there were stains all over his memories. The sound was the only thing intact.

He should have tried to pull The Manager's eyes out or break his ankles or bite off his fingers. He should have put up more of a fucking fight.

Janus was honestly trying to work but it was quite hard when there was a stranger sitting by the end of the table with his head in his hands and his shoulders shaking.

Still he did his best to ignore the stranger and continue writing but eventually it got too distracting and therefore he had to finally ask the stranger

"Are you alright? Don¨t get any ideas, I'm solely asking because you are annoying me"

It took a moment before Remus looked up and to Janus' surprise he didn't look sad, but his face had frozen into the most rageful glare imaginable.

When the stranger didn't answer Janus repeated "Are you alright?"

The gears turning in the stranger's mind was practically visible before he burst out a few half yelled words "YEs! An-" He tried to force a smile but it didn't reach his eyes "And I...I...am?...I am sexy!"

He tried to strike a pose that was probably meant to be sensual but it just looked like he'd been caught with his foot in a beartrap.

Janus grimaced before replying "Are you plastered, high or did someone simply dare you to ask me out?" He waved his hand around while rolling his eye "Let's ask the flamboyant fag with the fucked up face for sex, hilarious"

Remus didn't really pick up on much aside from the way his voice dripped with sarcasm. He searched for an answer but all his thoughts wandered back to Roman.

He flinched and nearly barred his teeth when Janus snapped his fingers in front of his face "Hello?" A cold smile spread on Janus' lips as he leant back in his chair "I understand. You're just taking the piss on me by not answering"

Without another word Janus closed his computer and moved to leave. In a wide eyed panic Remus grabbed ahold of the knife and held it up as the human turned his back on him.

"My brother-" The words slipped from remus without him meaning to. He was still holding the knife. "My brother I- I-"

The words of this language failed him. His knuckles turned white from holding the knife as he tried to speak in his own language.

"I don't know where my brother is or what the fuck is happening to him so now I gotta kill you. Could you just give up and make this shit easy to me! Humans always want me! It's all they ever want! You gotta want me!"

Janus turned towards him once more and for the first time since meeting him Remus could see a glimpse of interest in his eyes.

A chill went up Remus' back. Oh god what if Janus was a demon too. What if all of this had been a test. What if they were going to execute him now and Roman too just because he fucked up.

"Which language is that?" Janus asked.

"If I keep talking demon will that seduce you?" Remus thought it was worth a try. He'd managed to shove the knife down into his pocket and now he could feel the tip of it cutting into his thigh.

"...Okay...Well darling I only speak english but I have been studying etymology lately and the sentence structure you use is fascinating. Do you know what a clause is?"

To his relief the human sat back down to which he did as well. The human was staring at him like he was awaiting an answer so Remus took the 50/50 chance and nodded.

"You're not taking the piss at me again are you" Janus leant forward with his hand under his chin "Are you aware if it has a VOS or more of a VSO sentence structure?"

Remus decided to go the random chance route and began to sign 'Do you know sign language?'.

"Oh dear, sadly I don't know any sign. Though it is on my list of things I wish to learn" Janus let up into a cheeky half smile "So? What language is it? The pronounciation of the letters are quite unique I must say"

".....Spain" Remus blurted out. Humans always assumd he was from spain or "..Latin...Amorica..." He added.

For the first time Janus let up into a short laugh, more like a quick snort really "Well darling I know for sure that isn't spanish...excuse me, for a moment I completely forgot the vast array of languages over there. Is it an indigenous language?"

Remus just nodded.

"No wonder I didn't recognise it. There's far too few resources about those topics"

"Mhmmm. Yes. Mhhmm"

Janus took a look over his shoulder to see if the library was still empty before letting himself look just a tiny bit more genuinly excited "Want to hear something?"

"Yes!" Please be sex. Please be sex. Please be sex. Just get it over with.

"English speaks of the past being physically behind us. So there have been studies showing that we physically gesture behind us when speaking about the past but people who's mother tongue speak of the past as physically being in front of them gesture in front of themselfs when speaking of the past. Isn't that fascinating?"

Remus nodded again and hoped he was answering right.

The smile faded from janus as he leant back. For a moment he looked like he'd been caught redhanded before returning to look as grumpy as he'd looked when Remus first came in.

"Anyhow that's one of the many things I've learnt that I will never have any use for in the real world. Brain sugerons and austronauts can suck it, I know the really important facts. How about you?"

"Huh?"

"What are you studying? Why're you here?"

"...Thrown away" Remus notioned to himself "The manager asshat dickhole assflame fucker threw me out" He said it to try and help with translating it in his mind "I....am...thrown out.." He shrugged "No place to walk"

Janus did a double take. He started to roll one of his dreadlocks between two of his fingers while thinking before asking "Do you mean no place to go?"

Remus nodded. "So uhh sex?"

"Do you need me to call someone or? You mentioned a brother? Should I-"

He violently shook his head as he saw Janus beginning to look worried. Worry wasn't sexy!

"I am gone...going...going! here" He tapped his finger into the table before looking a bit proud of himself. He did a thumbs up to be extra sure.

"Look, you don't have to worry about me calling the pigs- The police" Janus corrected himself as he tried to be as simple for the stranger as possible "Darling whether you're about to burn down the building or is attempting to make me pay for a shag I will not tell. I might keep telling you about etymology if you stay here, just a warning"

"Etymology" Remus repeated it to taste the word. He smacked his lips "Etymology" It was tasty to say.

"Etymology" Janus added in.

"I like also words hmmm Cannibal! Vehicular manslaughter! Rapscallion!" He only kind of knew what they meant.

"Ah! Wonderful choices! I personally like soloiqou, nincompoop and hmm probably lackadaisical. Nearly forgot perjurer. That's a good one as well. All these words using a large range of phonetic sounds has aboslutely nooothing to do with us enjoying them, Definitely nooot"

"Fuck!" Remus helpfully added.

Janus did a dramatic gasp "How could I not think of that. Fuck!"

"FUUUCCCCKKKKKK!"

"Fuck! Fuck ! Fucked"

Remus banged his fists into the table "FUCK! FUUUCKKK!"

"Fuck!" Janus fanned himself with his hand while pouting a little "It's just such a shit choice innit?" He waved his hand around in the air "This whole system of academics! It's sooo not stressful being told repeatedly that you have to choose one subject to pour years of your life into just to survive in today's society. 6 months ago I couldn't stop myself from devouring books about law and justice and then suddenly all I could think about was strange theatre plays from the 90's and now out of nowhere I'm knee deep in this" He motioned to the page open on his computer about language and etyomology "And I'm supposed to choose only one thing? For years? And it has to be useful as well!? When I was 10 I had a phase where all I could talk about was greek tragedies! Which motherfucking 10 year old has that! Who let me read Antigone at that age!? And my favorite musical was Les Miserables! I've read Kant! How can anyone expect someone like me to be..normal about jobs and life and uggghhh"

Janus dragged his fingers through his hair making one of the dreadlocks loosen from the yellow band holding them tied up and fall in front of his face.

"I am aware you probably couldn't comprehend most of that but as we all know ranting a bunch totally never helps in the slightest. I'm definitely feeling worse now"

"I like it" remus replied caught Janus by surprise "The" The succubi leant closer to point at the computer "I like the uhh"

"The etomology?"

"You speaking"

"Well thank you" Janus did a hair flip with the one loose dreadlock "It's my endless charm and fantastic way I carry myself"

Remus mimicked him and banged his head to make his fluffy hair jiggle around. The succubus caught himself smiling and felt his body turn cold as he realized his thoughts had drifted away from his brother, his friends, his entire fucking home. He'd been sitting here rubbing elbows with the human he was supposed to have murdered by now.

He looked to the human and asked himself for the first time why he would be sent to kill him. What made this bag of meat so special.

His eyes trailed up and down the human and the only thought he had was how unsymmetrical humans were. Janus had long dark dreadlocks tied up in a bun by a yellow bandana, though some of the locks had been dyed a dirt blond. One of his eyes drooped a bit lower onto his cheek than the other in the same way there were more laugh lines on one side of his lips. He had on yellow gloves for some reason though only the right one had stains from pencils on the tips of his fingers.

It was all....unperfect. Not created with the sole intent to be as widely accesible as possible as succubi were. Janus didn't look like he had been created with anything particular in mind even, other than to simply exists.

His lips were full but placed low on his face. He had a double chin and his arms flabbed when he moved. His nose was bigger than succubi's usually were because humans had gotten it in their heads smaller noses were hotter. Though his shirt had been meticously buttoned and his skirt ironed the clothes were still slightly illfitting. He had bushy eyebrows and a mole on his neck.

And the scar.

The only reason any succbi would ever have a scar would be to entice humans who had a fetish for those kinds of things. The slight wound on Remus' arm would simply be overtaken by a new layer of identical skin. He could never have a scar no matter how interesting he found them. In contrast a big jagged scar in hues of purple, dark brown and light red spread all across the right side of Janus' face. It was jarring and portruded from the rest of his skin.

Remus hadn't noticed the scar before because he hadn't bothered to look at the human for long. It was.....pretty....the way the skin had sewn itself together like layers of cloth overlapping.

"You're...You're the first human I've ever actually looked at for longer than like 5 seconds" Remus said as he trailed his fingers over his cheeks without really noticing it "Your faces are so messy and fucked up. I wanna look like that too! No matter how much trash I throw myself in I still end up looking sexy to humans"

Janus had an amused smile as he tilted his head slightly and nodded along as if he understood what Remus was saying "Uhu mhm, So the moon landing was faked. Huh mhmm interesting, Aliens too huh mhhmm"

"Aliens yes!" Remus instantly joined in on the bit.

"I absolutely loooathe the sound of your voice. Very ear bleedy and irritating too. Real rusty chainsaw style"

Something about the way Janus' skin wrinkled slightly from smiling and how his voice was smooth as silk made something stir like an echo deep within Remus.

"I'm being sarcastic of course" Janus continued before dramatically flipping his loose dreadlock back "Or am I" He chuckled at his own joke before leaning a bit closer "If I may ask, were you only asking me for a one night stand because you need a place to stay? Obviously I won't mi-"

"Hot" Remus interrupted while pointing at him.

Janus was visibly caught off guard "So you're, I mean, Are you- you're gay?- Or bi?- I mean I don't- You don't have to answer "

Jan faked a cough to give himself an excuse to cover his mouth as he collected himself. Remus tapped his toes into the floor while thinking.

"Gay?......Sure.."

"I'm the most heterosexual person there ever was in history ever. You might think the king who married so many wives so quickly he permanently changed church rules was the most heterosexual one but no, it's me" Janus checked the clock "Half an hour into this conversation what's your name by the way?"

"Remus!"

Janus held back a laugh "Oh that's very cute. Do you have a twin named Roman as well" He snarked.

"How you knew?? TELEPATHY!?"

The human let out a stunned wheeze that was almost a laugh "Your parents must have a great sense of humor"

"I do not have parents" Remus blurted out because he has less filter than a broken coffee machine.

"Suppose that makes us the same then" Janus started to gather his things and put them into his bag while continuing "It was the classic car accident for me, very dramatic I know. I think dramatics go in my genes. That and the tax evasion"

Janus stood up and looked over to the demon who in turn stared at him with wide eyes like a stray dog.

"Are you coming? You needed a place to sleep for the night didn't you?"

Remus stood up so quickly the chair fell to the floor. He had to physically stop his tail from picking it up, instead doing it by hand. At the back of his mind some thought huffed on about how much of a Patton he was being. Doing such a human thing. Talking to a human for this long. Such a Patton....Such a Roman.

He followed the human out of the library and looked over his shoulder as he locked the door to the library "Best feature of working as a library help" Janus explained while rattling the key.

The dorm room wasn't far from the library but was tucked into the corner of the hall. A few plastic spiders were hanging from the top of the door and unlike all of the other doors it didn't have a whiteboard hung on it.

"I do have a roomate just so you are aware. He's a bit grumpy but he doesn't bite" Janus warned before opening the door and holding it open for Remus to enter first.

"jESus Jannie! Learn to knock! I could have been smoking drugs or had a- a girl over or something!" Virgil yelled as soon as the door opened.

The other human was huddled under a big purple blanket with a hoodie on in his bed on the opposite side of the tiny tiny room to the bed that presumedly belonged to Janus.

"No you wouldn't" Was Janus' only response before pointing over to his bed "You can sleep there"

"Who's the...uhh" Virgil squinted at Remus "...Guy?"

"This is Remus, named after the greek legend apparently, he's staying for the night. Remus this is Virgil, he's a bit of a wet and soggy kind of person"

Remus squinted just as hard at Virgil and sniffed in the air "You smell weird"

"Did that motherfucker just curse me!? He just threw a bloody curse at me! He can't stay here!"

"It's just another language Viv- Wow he's already out cold, that was quick. Quite impressive"

Raggedy snores came from Remus as he had passed out the moment his head hit the soft fabric. He had curdled up with his knees to his chest at the end of the bed. Janus sat down on the edge of Virgil's bed and lowered his voice as to not wake the stranger.

"He's not wearing shoes" Virgil pointed out while sticking his chin out to look more broody than usual.

"Darling I love judging people but in this instance I won't. Seems like he has some family issues, something about his brother?"

"You can't just waltz in here with a stranger"

"That's why I tangoed in here-"

"Uhhh Tangoed in here. Very funny asshole"

Janus laid his back against the bed so his head hit against Virgil's legs "Cooomee ooon dear, don't you want to do something unpresedented sometimes. We never do anything fun" He pouted a little while fluttering his eyelids.

"I have fun all the time. I was having fun rereading creepypastas right before you 'tangoed' in here with some guy"

"Well I think he's fun at least. And I must say, for someone who doesn't seem to be in a stable state right now he sure hasn't missed leg day because that-"

Virgil swatted at Janus' head with both of his hands "Shut it!"

"Woooow. The homophobia on display here. Woow Virrgil. I didn't think you were like this" janus replied in his most sarcastic tone.

"I hate when you do that joke"

"HAH! It's hilarious every time! Sorry you don't agree!" Janus rolled over on his side and closed his eyes "Anyhow I have work tomorrow so good night-"

"You're going to sleep?? With a stranger in our room??? He could be a chainsaw murderer!! Or just a regular murderer!! A nonce! A chainsaw nonce!"

Janus let out a slight sigh but didn't turn to look at the other man "He thought I was hot and he didn't say anything about the scar for the entire conversation-"

"The bar is burying it's way through the floor"

"Let him stay for the night.....please..or whatever"

Virgil was quiet for a moment before rolling his eyes "Finee. But I'm staying up"
