Surprisingly, Janus had been the one to propose to Remus. They'd all been on the playground in the park. Thomas, Roman, Patton, and Remus were playing something only they knew how to play anyway; Logan sat with Virgil under a tree nearby, reading a book about space together; and Remy sat on the swings with Emile, they were about two grades older and claimed to be too old for games, or at least Remy thought so.
Janus waited until Remus and the other three had taken a break to calm for a bit. He walked over to Remus and tapped his shoulder to get his attention.
"Oh! Hi J, whatcha need?" he asked with a crazed look, his hazel eyes looking into Janus' amber and gold ones. The one in question took a deep breath and began speaking.
"Remus, ever since I saw you across the classroom, eating the paper and glue in your supplies tray, I knew I was in love. And I wanted to ask you..." he got down on one knee and reached into the pocket of his dark grey shorts. He pulled out a green Ring Pop with a yellow ring base. Their favorite colors. He held it up toward the one dressed in green, with his eyes closed he asked, "Will you marry me?"
Remus' hands went up to his cheeks, eyes wide and staring at Janus smiling, "You even got the Green Apple one?!"
"I know it's your favorite. I wanted to do it a long time ago but it took a while to get this one," he said smiling. "So, is that a yes?"
"Of course it's a yes!"
Janus stood up and was pulled into a tight bear hug by Remus. They heard whoops and cheers behind them from Patton, Roman, and Thomas. Remy was still on the swings, laughing into his hands while Emile was trying to see if he was ok. Virgil and Logan had put their book down, now clapping and smiling at the two.
"I can't wait for our wedding," his smile fell a bit, "But now we hafta wait for a long time!"
"No you don't," Virgil said racing over to them, "You can do a playground wedding." He then turned to point at Logan, "And Logan can be the one to do it!"
"Why me?" Logan questioned, also coming over to everyone else. "Because your parents are lawyers and they do law stuff so you'll be the one to get them married." His violet eyes gave the other a look like it was the most obvious thing ever. "Oh yeah," Logan said, just now remembering that fact apparently, "Then I'll do it!"
They all cheered and planned everything out, who'd do and bring what, where it would happen and when, basically planning the whole thing.
"And we're gonna do this all tomorrow?"
"Hmmm...yep!"

Janus stood next to Logan next to the top of the double slide. There wasn't a theme to it but everyone wore their favorite colors. Janus had on a yellow sweater and a black bowler hat from his dad, he also had on a pair of grey dress pants and brown boots. He rocked nervously.
"You'll be fine, he did say yes after all," a voice said behind him that he recognized as Remy. Remy put a hand on his brother's shoulder to calm him down, "Look he's coming now."

"Remus slow down, you're supposed to walk!" Roman exclaimed as he ran after his twin brother, their mother's green sundress flowing behind the chaotic one. "I can't help it, I'm excited!" Remus answered back. The twin in green raced up the stairs to the play equipment and stood on the other side of Logan, facing Janus. Roman finally caught up and stood behind his brother.
"Ok, now that everyone's here, thank you for coming," Logan announced. He had on a navy blue collared shirt with pants that were matching; he also had on a tie that was too big for him. "Thank you for coming to bring these two together. You can basically say whatever you wrote down yesterday."
"I'm going first!" Remus yelled, waving his hand excitedly. He took a crumpled piece of paper out the pocket on the dress he wore.
"Janus, you are one of the first people to actually like me for me, weird stuff and all, and that's really nice. And I love you for it. I swear to make you feel like the most beautiful person in the world. I will stay with you forever. If you get sick I'll take care of you for the whole time, even if I get sick too! I will make you more happy than the happiest person ever, I swear!" While saying this Remus looked Janus in the eyes with a smile, not looking away once.
"I'd also wanna fuc-!" Before he could finish his statement, Roman smacked the back of his head. "Hey, this is my wedding not yours!" Remus grumbled, but let Janus say what he was going to say anyway.
Janus just smiled and pulled a neater folded piece of paper out of his pocket.
"Remus, you are very excited and hyper all the time. And I may need someone like you in my life all the time. I swear to keep you close to me all the time and make you feel happy. I want us to have fun when we are with each other, and when we get married we'll have even more time to scheme and take over the world! I swear to help you when you need it."
He looked at Remus, smiling at him. "I did it! D-did I do good?! I hope I did good!" he thought, internally panicking about this even though he was the one who proposed.
"Patton, will you bring the flower crowns?" Logan asked. Patton came up with two flower crowns. Both were an entanglement of green, yellow, and black leaves and flowers. "Yep, here they are! With the help of our lovely Virgil!" Virgil gave a thumbs up from his spot on the pavement with the others who weren't on the play equipment. Patton had on a light blue polo and the cardigan he usually had wrapped around his shoulders was actually being worn correctly. Virgil had a black and purple hoodie. The bubbly one out of the two held the flower crowns out to Janus and Remus, each taking one.
Janus placed the flower crown in his hands on top of Remus' head trying to make sure it wouldn't fall off, the other doing the same after.
"Alright," Logan says, everyone turns their attention back to him. He moves his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, "Do you, Remus Royale, take Janus Cobra to be your wedded husband?"
Remus nods furiously, "Yes, I do!"
"And do you, Janus Cobra, take Remus Royale to be your wedded husband?"
Janus nodded, not as enthusiastically as Remus but excitedly nonetheless, "I do."
"You may now slide down, you don't have to kiss when you get down but you can. Congratulations you two," Logan concluded and he moved from in front of the slide. Remus grabbed Janus' hand and they went to the slide. They then slid down the double slide while holding hands. When they got to the bottom Remus gave Janus a peck on his cheek. Janus turned to look at Remus in surprise, the other was looking straight forward with a faint blush on his cheek. Janus laughed, he turned Remus' face to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Remus froze but then a wide smile slowly spread across his face. The others all clapped and cheered in the background.
Roman slid down the slide and tackled his twin in a hug. "Good luck dealing with my brother all the time now Jan," he pointed at Remus for emphasis. Janus chuckled, "I think I'll be fine."
"Today is the best!" Remus exclaimed, pumping his fists into the air.
"It is," Janus thought as he sat with all of his friends. It was forever one of the best days of his life.
