After Janus' confession, they had spent the day in bed, curled up with one another. The following day, however, Logan wanted to cheer his little snake up.

"Janus," Logan mumbles. They're currently at the table. Janus is planted on Logan's lap. They're sharing a plate of eggs and bacon, Logan would feed Janus then himself, accepting small kisses in between.

"Mmh?" Janus hums, glancing up at Logan.

"I would like to surprise you today."

Janus raises an eyebrow and snorts. "Lo, when you want to surprise someone, you usually don't tell them that you're going to," He teases.

Logan flushes a light pink and huffs softly. "I'll tickle you," He threatens seriously.

Janus only chuckles. "Well, would you like me to get dressed? Are we going out?"

Logan nods. "Yes, I will get you dressed," He says, standing. Janus yips at the sudden movement and wraps his arms around Logan's neck while he holds him bridal style.

"Logan!"

"You want your surprise don't you?"

Janus huffs and rolls his eyes, blushing as he was carried up to his little room. "Logan, I'm not little-"

"I'm aware, but your surprise is for little you, besides, slipping won't hurt, you've been experiencing stress, slipping will benefit you," Logan explains, beginning to undress Janus, who wiggled and squirmed under his touch, his cheeks flushed bright red.

"Lo-" Janus whined as a pacifier interrupted his protesting. He glared, but Logan merely slipped him into a pull-up, overalls, and a teenage mutant ninja turtle shirt. Janus wiggled, a startled giggle shooting from behind the pacifier as the soles of his feet were lightly brushed against. The culprit smirked and continued, causing Janus to squeal and shriek, attempting to scoot backward. Failing to do so lead to Logan scooting his hands up his legs to his sensitive sides, snickering as Janus cried out and fell into a louder series of giggles, kicking his feet in silent protest, unable to form words in between his giggles. His blush spread down his face and he struggled to breathe in between tickles.

"L-Logan!" He manages to shriek, laughing and thrashing as his fingers danced about his skin.

"What? I can't hear you over all this giggling Janus, I wonder where it's coming from."

Janus screeched and squealed, his sounds beginning to seem animalistic. Deciding to bring the tickle session to an end, Logan was able to tug down his overalls and tug up his shirt before pressing his lips to his stomach and blowing.

Janus shrieked at the sensation, his skin is flushed and his body is covered in goosebumps. "D-Daddy!" He screams, tears welling up in his eyes.
His chest was beginning to burn from all the laughing. After a few more raspberries, Logan released Janus from his ticklish prison. Even after Logan pulled away, Janus continued to giggle, he could feel the ghost of his touches against his skin.

"Now," Logan says, smiling down at his wiggling snake. "Are you ready for your surprise?"

Janus gave an enthusiastic nod, panting softly, however, his smile never left his face. "Uh-uh!"

"Do I have a small snake on my hands?"

Janus blushes and sticks out his forked tongue before glancing away. Logan chuckles and helps Janus to his feet before smiling a bit. He gently pushed his overalls further down, having noticed his pull-up sagging from underneath, and as expected, he is indeed a soggy little snake.

"Before we go, let's get you changed, I wouldn't want you to leak," Logan explains while Janus flushes, squirming as he was laid down yet again.

"You made me!" Janus whines as Logan begins working on a quick diaper change.

"My apologies little snake, it wasn't my intention. I'll make it up to you with your surprise. Deal?"

Janus huffed and stood up as he was all cleaned. Despite his pouty expression, he nods. "Deal."

"Good boy, now come along."

---

Janus was allowed to bring his stuffed snake with him as he was strapped into the back of Logan's car, fidgeting anxiously, curious to his surprise.

"Are we there yet?"

Logan snorts at the question, shaking his head. "Not yet."

"Are we there yet?"

"Nope?"

"How much longer?"

Logan glances into the rearview mirror briefly. "A thousand years." He insists seriously.

Janus gasps and pouts. "That's too long!"

Logan snickers, enjoying how gullible the other is in little space. "Oh well, you want your surprise don't you?"

"Bu-But Logan!" Whines Janus. "I'll be..." Furrowing his eyebrows, Janus begins counting on his fingers. "A thousins wears olds!"

Logan bites his lip to keep from laughing, Janus sounded desperate and genuinely concerned, but to Logan, it was one of the most adorable interactions he has encountered.

"Well," He begins, steadying his voice as his lips quivered, struggling to keep a straight face. "I suppose that is an issue isn't it?"

"Uh-huh! So we gotta go faster okays?"

Logan nods, chuckling quietly to himself, continuing to drive. It wasn't long before they reached the desired location, after finding a parking place, Logan glanced back at Janus who was distracted by his snake.

"Janus, we're here, close your eyes," Logan insists.

Glancing up at Logan briefly, Janus nods his head, closing his eyes, giggling softly. "That was quick! How'd you do that?"

Logan snickered. "Daddy's are magical," He explains, slipping from the car, opening the back seat. He carefully helped him out and held his hand, tapping his knuckles. "Alright little snake, you may look."

Eagerly, Janus' eyes snap open. He gasped seeing the colorful sign of the local toy store. His eyes lit up and he bounced up and down. "Toys!"

Logan smirks. "Yes, toys little snake, how many are you planning to get?" He asks, holding his hand, leading him inside. He grabbed a cart and had Janus hold onto the side, he didn't want him wandering off and getting into trouble.

Janus almost felt dizzy as his eyes danced along the colorful rows and decorations. Of course, there are the pink rows and the darker, blue rows. Janus didn't see why the toys that are typically aimed towards girls are always pink, colors have no gender, besides, wouldn't it benefit companies if they advertised toys to all children? If they did that, more children would buy bits of everything and companies would earn far much more money.

"Janus?"

Janus snapped his attention back to Logan, forgetting he had asked a question. "Sorry, it's so pwetty!"

Smiling, Logan nods. "It is, isn't it? My, my, I must have a rather small snake on my hands."

Flushing, Janus shakes his head. "Nuh," He denies. "I big!"

Snorting, Logan rolls his eyes in a lighthearted fashion, "Yes, yes, anyway, how many are you planning on buying?"

"All of dem!"

Logan laughed. "Well baby, that's not very fair to everyone else who wants toys."

Janus seems to think for a moment before giggling. "They can use em but they're mine."

Rolling his eyes playfully, Logan decided to humor him for now. It seems they had to work on sharing. "Well, how about we stick to a smaller amount them all of them?"

"How many Logie?" Janus asks, tugging at the cart towards the superhero aisle.

"Hm, don't worry about it, I'll tell you when to stop." Logan insists, mentally giving him a budget.

Nodding, Janus begins searching the shelves. He took his time picking out his favorite characters from tv shows, a couple of lego sets-which included a rocket and batman themed set-and even a remote-controlled car. Logan stood aside, humoring Janus as he would occasionally turn to him with a bright smile, toy lifted, showing it to him. Logan took mental note of the prices, the remote-controlled car was by far the most expensive, and decided to cut him off there.

"Alright baby," He tells him, taking his hand. "Let's go check out and head to lunch, we can bring it to the park," Logan explains.

"Okay!" Janus cheers, walking along with Logan until they passed the stuffed animal aisle.

Janus stopped, peeking into the soft, enticing row. "Stuffies Logie," He points, pouting.

Logan really didn't want to give in, however one stuffed animal wouldn't hurt. Sighing, Logan nods, nudging the man.

"Okay, you can have one stuffed animal or put one of your toys back, and depending on the price, you might be able to get two or three."

Janus didn't want to put any of his other toys back, so, he began searching the stuffed animals for the absolutely perfect stuffed animal. He could only have one after all!

Sticking his tongue out in concentration, Logan watched in amusement as Janus picked up many stuffed animals, putting them back each time. They weren't in a hurry and watching the man mesmerized him. It seemed like clockwork, he'd pick one up, stare at it for a moment, and put it back.

Finally, Janus rushed to the cart, a sea turtle stuffed animal in his arms along with his snake one he had been clothing the entire time.

Nodding, Logan smiles. "What will you name them?"

"Her name Bwue!"

"Oh? What a cute name," Logan compliments, while not the most original name, it's practical. "Anything else Janus?"

Shaking his head, Janus presses the stuffed animals close to his chest and follows along with Janus to check out. He helped his caregiver set all of the items up and held back a giggle as the toys moved towards the cashier. Leaning into Logan's ear, he subtly pointed to the "mysteriously" moving objects.

"It's magic Logie," He whispers. In big space, Janus is quite a magic expert, it's been a hobby of his since he was a child, however, he wasn't sure how well he would do in little space. Even so, he obviously still enjoys it.

Logan raises an eyebrow staring in the direction of his finger, gently lowering it. "It's rude to point," He reminds him, ignoring his little pout. "But yes, it's very magical."

"How they do that?" He asks curiously as Logan swipes his debit card.

"They are taught magic when they're hired," Logan explains, humoring him.

"Ohh, dat makes sense! How you know?" Janus asks, his voice rising a bit, earning an odd glance from the cashier.

Logan seemed unfazed and began setting their bags back in their cart. "I used to work in a toy store, they taught me. Unfortunately, I can't do it anymore because I am no longer an employee."

Janus pouts, he wanted to see more magic!

"Aww," He mumbles, digging through the bags as they began heading out. "I have Bwue now pwease?" He whines, searching for the toy.

"Hold on a moment," Logan insists, tugging the back of his overalls, holding him there as he wiggled and squirmed. "Blues not going anywhere."

"B-But Rapwors wonely!"

"Raptor will survive," Logan insists, leading him to the car. He began filling his trunk with the toys, catching eye of the turtle, and lifted it, offering it to the whining little, who beamed as he saw it, hugging her to his chest.

"Bwue!"

Smiling, Logan nods, shutting the trunk. Ge opened the backseat for Janus and got him strapped in. "Are you, Blue, and Raptor ready for chicken nuggets and French fries?"

Janus gasps, nodding his eyes. "Nuggies!"

"Uh-huh, and possibly a milkshake as well."

Janus bounced in place. "And-Ands a milkshake?!" He cheers.

It took everything in Logan not to laugh at his stuttering, he could tell he was growing hyper and excited, leading him to stumble over his words, his small headspace wasn't helping either.

"And a milkshake," Logan assures, kissing his head.

"Ands Park?!"

"And the Park yes, you're going to be a tired snake aren't you?"

Janus shakes his head. "Nuh-uh! Never! Cause then it's nap time and I no wike naps!"

Logan snorts. "Oh yes, naps are terrible," He muses, standing up. He shut the back door and returned the cart.

It might cost a pretty penny, but spoiling his snake now and then won't hurt, especially after the stressful few days he has endured.

Well-I had a bit of writer's block these last few days but I managed. I hope you enjoyed it- also just a little warning, we're going to be diving into Logan's life soon sooo good luck😉
