"Are we there yet Starling or is me not realizing how much of a fool I look right now the surprise?" A blindfolded Janus teasingly asked as Logan carefully guided him somewhere. "Almost Dear and no I specifically got us the private area so you won't have to worry about that..." Logan explained and finally came to a stop. "Alright this looks to be the spot... Ready?" "No I much rather enjoy being blindfolded." Janus teased and chuckled knowing his comment made Logan playfully roll his eyes. "But in all seriousness yes Starling I'm ready."
Once the bespectacled man finished carefully untying the soft piece of cloth covering his boyfriend's eyes, Janus had to adjust his eyesight a bit from how bright it was but once he regained it, he stared amazed at all the gorgeous flowers that they were both surrounded by but that was short lived until he immediately froze when he saw it.
'What. The fuck.'
"I know how much you enjoy our outdoor picnic dates and I wanted to do something a little different and- Janus?"
Janus did not hear a single thing that came out of his boyfriend's mouth cause he was currently aggressively swatting a bunch of Butterflies away from himself. "Get the fuck back you little shits!" "Um is something wrong Dear?" "What's wrong is that you set me up- Ah! I think it just touched my glove Logan! Fuck these were my favorite pair and now I gotta burn these!" Janus yelped as he kept swatting and jumping back. "Janus what are you talking about I didn't- Oh..." Logan's face fell when he had a realization. Janus was terrified of Butterflies and he unintentionally just ruined their anniversary date by taking him to his own personal Hell. "Fuck this!" Janus ran off to the bathroom to hide from the increasing swarm of Butterflies surrounding him. "Jan wait!" Logan chased after him. The bowler hat wearing man quickly locked the door and jumped at seeing a giant Butterfly wall painting and immediately turned away and sighed leaning his head on the door when he heard his boyfriend knock.
"Jan Dear I promise you I was never aware about your Lepidopterophobia and I know this is a stretch but... Maybe this can be a form of exposure therapy?"
"Exposure therapy my ass I'm not getting anywhere near those colorful flapping Demons!"
"I understand Hun but they're very beneficial to the environment!"
"Are the benefits tormenting me cause it's doing a great job at doing that!"
"Come on Jan just for a little bit and I promise we'll leave please... For me?"
Oh how Janus hated how Logan knew that those two little words could never make him say no and even though he doesn't wanna admit it he feels bad that his fear was ruining something Logan planned let alone paid for. "I'm gonna regret this..." The bowler hat wearing man muttered under his breath and finally opened the door. "Fine only for a little bit but after that you owe me so much Wine when we get back home." "Thank you and I also have something else at home that hopefully makes it better." Logan smiled softly and kissed Janus' hand and slowly led him back to the spot.
'You can do this Jan. You can do this Jan. You can do this Jan.'
Logan opened up his free hand as a Butterfly landed on it and he carefully put it close to a wincing Janus. "See? Perfectly harmless Dear it's okay." Oh that Butterfly and it's wings was staring into Janus' soul and he hated it but what he hated the most was that it decided to fly from Logan's hand to the bowler hat wearing man's nose.
'You can't do this Jan!'
"Ah-"
"And that's the story how I almost divorced your Father goodnight!" Janus got up slamming a blank book. "I'm sorry you're okay with venomous Snakes, Spiders, sharp objects, and whatever the hell Remus puts in his mouth but Butterflies is where you draw the line???" A baffled Roman asked. "That's what you got from that???" "Yes!" Roman answered his roommate as if it were obvious. "Forget about the Butterflies what did Lo have at home while we were away that made you change your mind about your anniversary~?" Remus smirked wiggling his eyebrows. "He proposed." "Aww that's sweet!" Patton cooed.
"He also let me get drunk off my ass afterwards."
"Oh..."
