A million years later, but have the (completed?) Dad!Chase for Belated Father’s Day. It was cool of Niamh to take a break from saving the world to make him a tiny bff he can carry around like a loaf of bread.

the sidney prescott lesbian agenda
(anybody who doesn’t agree can just scroll ‘cause my sensitive heart cannot handle anyone telling me otherwise)
okay first we’ll start with the really basic stuff…
like her look in scream 2 & 3 just SCREAMS lesbian
and of course that doesn’t determine your sexuality…but if you look like that then there’s a 99.9% chance that you definitely like girls…
also the indigo girls poster in her room? are you serious? you see that and it’s literally just confirmed that she’s a lesbian cmon now.
now how about the fact that she looks so annoyed anytime she’s around boys??
(except for dewey since he was just like a big brother to her & her dad obvi)
if you rewatch the movies (it’s especially visible in 1996) then she looks so bothered by the fact that men even exist.
^ and as a lesbian myself, i can confirm that it’s a very real thing that we feel
but anytime tatum’s around…she doesn’t look angry or annoyed, even when she was literally almost killed and tatum came to the ambulance
now we have the whole thing with her not wanting to have sex with billy
of course we all know that it’s because of trauma from her mother, but when she finally feels “ready” and is having that talk with billy on the bed…she never says that she actually wants it.
she’s saying it like it’s just something she has to do. something that needs to happen so she can get over her fears and everything…
she talks about her problems regarding the sex stuff with billy multiple times throughout the movie and it feels so much like she’s angry with herself for not wanting that with a man.
and when she’s talking with tatum in the store about not being able to relax to billy’s touch…it just seems like there’s some underlying lesbian coding to that.
and it’s important to mention that tatum is super touchy with her and she never flinches or moves away (we actually see her start to relax anytime tatum’s around) but she looks uncomfortable with all the other boys from ‘96.
and it’s also strange how she doesn’t really look too upset at any of her boyfriends deaths.
not to mention how in scream 2, derek was murdered and sidney’s upset (because someone that she knew died and cause she knows this whole final act is happening to her again) but after that she’s just…fine? like he never gets brought up again or anything.
just like with billy…she never really cared that he died, just mostly upset with the fact that she was was lied to, all her trauma was being brought up, and that she was literally about to die.
but with tatum, we see her witness the set in scream 3 of where tatum dies, and how she still seems taken back from it years later.
also when olivia died in scream 4, sidney apologizes to jill about the death and it’s made very clear that she’s thinking about tatum’s death.

Almost impossible, huh but what if mc did get pregnant? for the male ro's, take it as an au please lol. Reactions? Who would be happy?
AU it is! This ask made me feel very soft so 🥺
Michael - He cries tears of shocked joy, but he hides it by burying his face in your shoulder as he holds you tight. Then he lets you go in fear that he's crushing you and the baby. He's happy, but he's freaked out, but that's normal, right?
Daedalion - You'll need to repeat yourself at least once before it sinks in, then he's crushing you in a bear hug. He's secretly wanted children all his life and he can't think of a better blessing than to have children with you.
Ceyx - Part of him would be scared as hell; being a dad was never on the agenda and he's terrified he'll fuck it up. But once you calm him down, he's going to be so excited that he just starts laughing and kissing you over and over.

Here is ticket from Joan's farm- a violent false arrest we need expunged from record & registration sticker for excess work we did in good faith to help you Evict your tenant. I sent Joan all videos & will post testimonial Psalms & videos of court contentious drug addict lying to cops on a bribe. We can't support tenant fraud like this in nasty smear campaign. We need copies of all police reports & Joan could you spend 30 hours mediating for me since you're such a master in court & hurt me with vanity case. I need 50k in damages for harassment- your tenant smeared car w/ dog shit & stalked me. Your fidicuary duty is to your employee. I need damages for when Glen banged up Lexus in tow & this months rent today. My kids need mom at home- not raped to meet your mean agenda. Please have bank re-imburse for rents from October in Airbnb smear campaign and $10m for violent slumlordings from 3 of their employees since September. Close airbnb & all short term rentals until 40% are housed. 
This is gross capitalistic slavery & sexual assaults for gluttony!
I need my tax return immediately and County harassment over medical & IEHP to stop from Blue Shield Class Action.
My x's atty is dead.
This abuse needs to stop from IRS, bought & bribed militia/gay pedo cops.
Mom have had enough of BS. We have weather alerts & need peace. 
See if son Kyan can bring his sister and we can have DAs nationally issue RO from all court contentious Trolls on illegal bribes for gags/pleas.
Thanks!

And if its ready you tag me right thanks
Request: Anonymous; can you do a Natasha x black!child!reader? I really liked your other fic. You don't have to if you don't want to.
A/n: I made lots of changes, cause when I went to go post it two weeks ago, my fics were two similar to the other two. The highlighted words are in realtion to the person that requested. Because I wanted to incorporate them into the fic 🙃
Tumblr media
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, BeEeee- you were starting to get agitated, and brought your fist down on your alarm clock, smashing it to pieces. But hey, it’s not your fault, you got your father’s enhancements through genetics, just the perks of being a Rogers.
Still in bed, you let out a yawn, and you began to stretch; mid-stretch that is when it had clicked.
It’s My Birthday.
And that’s when you smelled it. The sweet smell of a birthday tradition you and your dad have had for the past nine years of your life.
One day you showed your dad Steven Universe, and it happened to be the together breakfast episode. So ever since then, every morning of your birthday, you and your dad sit down together and have Together Breakfast.
As soon as you got out of the shower, you threw on some clothes and dash to the Kitchen. As soon as you enter you were met by a horrible sight. Your dad and a redhead kissing.
Nat and your dad have been friends since he had come out of the ice, a became even closer when you were born. Nat was like a mom to you, but you never would say that out loud, cause you didn’t want to make it wired or have her feel uncomfortable.
Your mom was never in the picture, she left you and your dad five days after you were born. Steve had no idea of how to raise a kid, he was completely lost, but then Nat had offered to help him out. The pair worked as such a great team people often thought that they were actually a couple. After years of a long, long sturdy friendship, your dad finally asked the assassin out. So basically they have been dating for about two and a half years now.
“Ew, gross,” you said, dramatically shielding your face from the sight. “ Good Morning Y/n, happy birthday,” they both said. “Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable,” you said as you sat down at the island stools. “You mean this public display of affection?” he said with a smirk and then pulled Nat in for another kiss. You then shield your face away and then began gagging and reaching.
“So it is….10:30,” you said looking around “Where’s Together Breakfast?” you said whining. “It’s right here you big baby,” Nat said teasing.
“ Cheers to fifteen years of chaotic life,” you said holding up a fork “Cheers!” they said, you each then taking a bite.
“So, Y/n, anything special on thing on the agenda today,” Nat said wriggling her eyebrows. “Not really, I was hoping that we could just go to the spa, then the salon, and just have a chill day.” You said taking another bite. “Oooh, sorry, y/n I can’t, join you today, I have busine- “ you cut Nat off with a loud groan. “ But its’ my birthdayyyyy,” you said with an adorable pout. “I know, and I’m sorry,” she said squashing your cheeks together “and I will make it up to you, but for right now-” she paused reaching over the counter to grab her bag “ I have to go,” she said giving you small hug and then turning to give steve a quick peck on the lips, and heading for the door. “ Bye,” Steve said, “bye Nat,” You say still mopping. “Bye babes,” she says giving the two an air kiss before disappearing out the door.
“So, I guess it is just me and you, Y/n,” Steve said as he started cleaning up breakfast. “Ya, I guess so, though I really wanted Nat to come today. Alright, imma got get ready so that we could go,” you said heading back to your room, leaving Steve smiling at your comment about Nat; not that you even realized.
---
“Alright, where here,” Steve said as the uber pulled up to the salon. You both walked in and were greeted by an overlay excited worker. “Hi, my name is Jess, I will be helping you out today” you then gave her a small, that she returned, then started eyeing Steve like he was her last meal. She looked like she was in her early-twenties, pale skin, about 5’3, blonde hair, and brown eyes. Probably working this job to pay off student loans. She turned to Steve, with scrunched eyebrows.
“Are you Captain America?” she asked with a smirk of curiosity, but it looked like she was trying to amuse him before he could answer “yes, he is, and he’s taken, Maybe next time sweetheart, ” you said pulling you dad away from Jess, and toward the receptionist desk.
“ Hi, Appointment for Y/n Rogers,” You say, leaning against the desk. “Right this way.”
---
You were currently sitting in a chair in front of a medium-size mirror, your hands resetting on the armrest, careful not themes up the freshly done nails. Then two Beautistions approached us, then one of them turned to Steve and asked, “are you getting your, hair done too,”
“No”
“Yes”
you and Steve say at the same time.
“Please dad, you can you a new due,” you say, Steve just rapidly shakes his head rapidly no.
“What wrong with the style I have now?” he asked. “You look like an upgraded BackStreet boy,” you reply in full honesty. He then puts his hand over his chest and pretends to be hurt. “You should die it!” one of the Beautistion said, “Great Idea…” you hesitated, search for her name tag.
“Max” she finished for you, seeing what you were trying to do. “If you don’t want to, die your whole head, you can start with highlights,” she said with a smile of excitement. Steve was about to say no until he saw your adorable pleading face. “Fine,” he said putting his hands up in defeat and moving into the salon chair next to yours.
---
After you left the Spa you and your dad headed to central park for a walk, something you two did a lot when you were younger.
You then pulled out your phone and tried to Facetime “Natty Bare 😘” but there was no answer. Which was strange, because Nat always answers your calls, no matter who, what, when, where, and why. Steve saw what you did and smiled, a smug smile. "What are you doing?" Your dad asked
"I wanted to show Nat your blue hair streaks" you said with a pout.
Halfway through the walk your legs were getting tired so you jumped on your dad’s back, you wrapped your arms around his neck and your legs around his hip.
“You’re like a pretzel,” he says linking his arms under your knees for better support. “And, you’re like a Dorito,” you tiredly mumble into the crook of his neck, Steve chuckled at the comment.
After walking a little longer you fall asleep. Steve then tightened his grip a little, as if he was giving a backward hug. He just could believe how fast his baby girl was growing up.
---
When they reached the tower’s elevator, Steve placed Y/n down on her feet to wake you.
“Y/n, baby, I need you to wake up for a minute.” “But why,” you mumbled as you leaned against him for support since you were still tired. “Cause if you don’t then this could be a very embarrassing photo.” “what pho-” before you could finish, the elevator doors opened, and then...
“SURPRISE!”
A tired smile then played its role on your face. You looked around and saw everyone there, except Nat.
Mabey she will show up later you thought to yourself.
---
An hour later she still has yet shone up. You asked around and Tony told you that she had a last-minute mission, but that she should be back at any time now. That failed to relieve your nerves.
But those nerves became worse when it was time to cut the cake. You know she was busy but would she really miss your birthday.
Apparently, yes, yes she would. Because the party was over, over an hour ago, and now it was currently 9:30.
Your dad knew that you were really bummed out that Nat missed your party, so he suggested a movie night. Movie nights were special to you and your dad because it became something you two did together, to destress. Just the two of you, Daddy and Daughter.
“Got room for one more.” came a voice that you recognized immediately. “Sorry, this is a two-person couch,” you shot back, anger leaking from your voice, your eyes never leaving the tv screen, ignoring the Russian, as she came into your view.
Steve then paused the movie, causing you to turn your head toward him, annoyed.
“How was the mission,” he asked her.
“I don’t know” She replied accompanied by a tight-lipped smile and shrug. You were about to say something but “Because it is not over yet,” she said looking nervous.
She then pulled out a manila folder and approached you and sat down in between Steve. The Folder was labeled “Confidential” with a red ribbon and bow tied around. The folder She then handed you the folder causing you to look up at them in question.
“Open it,” Steve said pulled Nat toward him sat her in between his legs, and then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, trying to help calm the nerves surging through her.
You carefully untied the ribbon, and open the folder. “On this day Y/n M/n Ro-” You mumbled quietly and then stopped, your face going blank. Your vision then started to get blurry with tears threatening to spill.
“Wow, y-you’re really, um getting good at that face,” Nat said, a million thoughts going through her mind.
“Y/n,” Nat said, voice flooded with worry. When you didn’t look at her, she used her fingers to lift your chin, so that you were looking at her. And when you locked with her that’s when the dames broke, as the tears sprang free from your eyes.
“Oh, no, baby, baby please, don’t cry,” she said trying to wipe away the tears rapidly falling down your face. “ I understand if you don’t want to go through with it,” she said wiping the tear that fell from her face.
“We don-”
She was cut off with the air being knocked out of her, as you crashed into her wrapping your arms around her torso, burying your face in her stomach, sobbing. She then wrapped her arms around you and held you close, one hand rubbing up and down your back trying to calm you, the other gently twirling some of your coils with her fingers.
Nat always felt like you were her child, even some people in public would mistake her for your mom, But she didn’t know how you felt.
Nat was so nervous that her soul was shaking. She knew how the topic of a Mother, is one that stings for you.
---
*Flashback*
Nat POV
I pulled up to Y/n’s school, today was her first day of Kindergarten, and in the morning she was so excited. That morning I bruised her hair into two puffs, curled her sideburns, and she then wore a Captain America shirt, with joggers and light-up sneakers. I swear she was the cutest four-year-old in the world.
I then saw Y/n exit the school, but my smile flattened when I saw the sad expression on her face. I then hopped out of the car and head toward her, as I get closer it looks as if she was crying. When I get to her I pick her up and place her on my hip, and instead of her giving me a hug like she usually does she just tucks her head into my neck.
“Hey, baby,” I saw trying to cheer her up “You okay,” I ask she just nodded and let out a little sigh. Then I hear laughing voices and I turn my head to see a group of second graders.
“See I told you to see was adopted, her parents probably didn’t love her,” one of them said.
“ There is no way Captain America is her dad If that lady is her mom, they’re both white, and she’s not”
“She just a baby and a lier,”
“ She probably doesn’t even have a mom,” another said laughing, causing Y/n to sniffle.
I then cleared my throat, successfully grabbing the attention of the bullies, sending them a death glare, and then headed to the car, and then buckled Y/n into her car seat. I then sat in the driver’s seat and adjusted the rearview mirror so that we could look at each other.
“Don’t listen to those, mouth breathers Y/n you hear me.” Y/n still didn’t look at me her eyes trained on her fingers fiddling in her lap.
“Um, Nat, umm, where is my mom, and w-why, um, why does she, not love m-me?” Y/n said with a sniffle. Her question made me want to go up to those kids and beat the shit out of them.
“ well y/n your mom had to do something important and should be back soon,” I had to lie to her because I didn’t know how to explain to a four-year-old, that her mother abandoned her and her dad because she thinks giving life to the sweetest little girl was a mistake.
Like what did Маленький шар совершенства, ever do to her.
“But Y/n, let me tell you this, Your dad loves you, so much and would let anything bad happen to you, you know that right detka,” she then nodded her head, sniffled, and wiped her tears.
“And I love you too, milashka, and I will never stop loving you.” I love you, Nat” “Now how about we get some Ice cream annnnnd, not tell Steve, because he is going to be mad because you haven’t eaten any dinner yet,” I said starting the car and putting a smile on Y/n’s face.
How could a mother ever leave a child like this, so sweet, innocent, and pure?
*Flashback over*
---
No one’s POV
“So is that a yes, baby?” Nat asked nervously that you might say no because you were crying.
You just nodded your head yes, as Nat hugged you tighter.
“Oh, dad I forgot to tell you, while we were out...I, um, need a new alarm clock,” you said with a nervous chuckle.
“Again,” they both said, not surprised at all.
“Mabey you should use your phone, you’re always pretty careful with that,” Nat said bopping your nose and squishing your cheeks together. You then reach into your pocket and pull out your phone. You went to the contacts and changed “Natty 😘” to “Mama🔥”.
“What’s my contact name Y/n?” Your dad asked.
“❤️Captain🤍Crunch💙,” you said sliding your phone back into your pocket and laying back down on Nat’s stomach.
“ I love you, mama,” you said nuzzling further into her
“I love to baby, always has and don’t plan on stopping”
*Bonus*
(Nat and Steve in the kitchen after putting Y/n to bed, because she fell asleep during the rest of the movie because you were tired after crying)
“So...what’s up with the hair, “ Nat said sipping on her tea, taking a step closer to Steve. He then shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head, with a goofy smile. “Uhh, Y/n thought I needed a new look,” He responds shaking the colorful hair from side to side. “Well, I like it,” she says as she runs her hands through his hair, “ Oh, do you,” Steve said placing his hands on her hips. “Yea…I do,” she says standing on her tippy-toe, kissing his lips. Steve then leaned more into the kiss. They went from kiss to make out sess, really quick.
“How about we don’t do this in the kitchen,”
“Mmhm”

but i make these high heels work
summary: roman has something new that he wants to try out, but he’s nervous about his family’s reactions. he needn’t be; they’ve always got his back. 
(OR: a birthday fic for roman sanders, set in my moxiety dad au)
a/n: i’m jumping on @notveryglittery‘s “giving the gay everything he wants” agenda. happy birthday roman sanders!!! 
cw: anxiety, mild angst, fear of homophobia
wordcount: ~1.8k
read it on ao3!! 
Roman carefully smooths his hands over the fabric spread out across his bed. He knows that no one else is awake yet. Not even Logan, who routinely wakes up early because apparently he can run on crumbs of sleep and nothing else. Not even Dad, the earliest riser out of all of them, since he doesn’t have any pressing appointments. No one is awake but Roman. 
He’d tossed and turned all night, barely snatching a few hours. He knows he’s going to regret that later, but he also knows that there’s nothing particularly important happening today, so Papa and Dad will be more lenient if he decides to nap. So, rather than waiting until later to roll out of bed, Roman gets up a good hour before anyone else. He makes his bed - properly, this time, pulling off the excess of blankets and pillows and stuffed animals and tucking his thick quilt in. He never has the time or the willpower to make it in the mornings, but today. 
Well.
Today, he has anticipation thrumming in his chest like caught lightning, and he needs something to do with his hands. 
Roman showers, quietly. The bathroom is between his room and Logan’s, and there’s always the off chance that the water running will wake up his lightweight-sleeper brother. He holds his breath, keeping in all the melodies that usually bubble from his mouth in the shower, and is rewarded with no signs of wakefulness from his brother. 
He doesn’t bother to wash his hair, so he doesn’t have to worry about blow-drying his fluffy curls. Instead, he spritzes them with dry shampoo he stole from his Papa and combs through them with his fingers. It takes him about fifteen minutes to get them to just the right state of artfully tousled, but it still doesn’t waste nearly enough time. 
Which brings him to here, sitting cross-legged on his perfectly-made bed, staring at the fabric spread across his quilt. It’s plain, compared to what he usually wears, but he supposes that’s the trouble with borrowed clothing. Adding to all that, it’s not real clothing; it’s an old prop he’d salvaged from a box of costumes destined to be torn apart and repurposed. He kind of wishes he had the courage to ask Dad or Papa to take him to the mall to buy a proper one, but he’s never been that kind of brave. 
Roman fiddles with the hem of the skirt between his fingers. 
It’s red, at the very least, but not the proper shade of red. It’s garish and bright, like a firetruck, like a cartoon bloodstain. It comes down to about Roman’s knees, hanging in loose folds, and it’s not the most comfortable thing he’s ever worn, but he loves it. He loves the way the fabric feels when it swishes around his knees, he loves the way it flares out when he spins in circles, he loves the way it feels to smooth the fabric beneath him in a single fluid motion when he sits down. 
He’s terrified to wear it out of the comfort of his bedroom, but he figures that today, June first, the first day of pride month, is as good a day as any to come out of the closet. Roman sighs, curling his hands into loose fists on his thighs. 
His phone pings with a notification, and Roman almost falls off his bed as he scrambles forward to snatch his cell phone off his desk. He takes a moment to smile at his home screen photo before answering the message: it’s a picture of himself and Janus from last year’s pride festival. They’re wrapped in a rainbow flag like a cape, leaning their heads together and laughing. Janus has a genderqueer flag painted across his cheek, and Roman has rainbow star stickers across his nose and a rainbow bandanna tying back his hair. 
Roman thumbprints his phone open and checks his messages. It’s from Janus himself. 
[7:41 am] snoyfriend (snake boyfriend): you’re going to do wonderfully, dearest. your family loves you, and they’ll support you no matter what. and even if they don’t, i support you no matter what. i love you <3 
Roman wiggles his feet back and forth eagerly in a gleeful stim as he taps out a response. 
[7:43 am] me: thank you, snove (snake love). ily2 <3 
[7:44 am] snoyfriend (snake boyfriend): are you ever going to stop calling me snake-themed nicknames, beloved?
[7:44 am] me: sno (snake no) 
[7:46 am] snoyfriend (snake boyfriend): i hate you <3 
[7:47 am] me: i snove (snake love) you too <3 <3 
*~*~*~*~*
Someone knocks on his door around 8:45. “Ro? Are you coming down to breakfast? I’m making pridecakes!” Dad calls. Roman’s stomach growls at the thought; every year, Dad makes multiple colors of homemade pancake batter and draws pride-flag pancakes on the griddle.
“I’ll be down in a minute!” Roman says. 
“Okay, kiddo!” 
Roman takes a deep breath. He slides off his bed and shimmies out of his pajama pants. Rummaging around in his drawers, he pulls out a white t-shirt with a swooping golden outline of the Disney castle on the front. Carefully, he steps into the puddle of skirt and tugs the red fabric up over his hips. It’s not a perfect fit, but it comes down to his knees. Roman studies himself in the full-length mirror on the inside of his closet. 
“It’s going to be okay,” he sighs, reaching for the rainbow bandana on his desk. He folds it and ties it to form a headband which he uses to push his bangs off his forehead. “It’s going to be okay. Dad and Papa aren’t going to hate you. Thomas and Logan aren’t going to hate you. It’s going to be okay.” 
Roman waits until he hears Logan and Thomas go downstairs before he leaves. He picks up his phone, glances at the photo of himself and Janus one more time, and then steps into the hallway. 
He lurks on the stairs for a moment, glancing into the kitchen. Logan is sleepily gnawing on a bagel slathered with jam. Papa is pouring coffee into a row of mugs while Thomas helps Dad with the pridecakes. Roman grips his skirt tightly in his hands, watching his family, and then he steps into the kitchen. 
“Morning.”��
“Good morn - oh!” Dad whirls around, holding a spatula which he quickly foists off onto Thomas. He hurries forward, taking Roman’s shoulders, eyes scanning up and down his outfit. “That’s new! Where’d you get it?” 
“It’s an old costume skirt,” Roman says. “Is that - am I - do you -”
Dad smiles, eyes crinkling up as he leans in to kiss Roman’s forehead. “I think you look wonderful, Roman. No matter what you choose to wear.” Roman smiles, hugging his dad tightly. He feels Dad reach up and press a hand into the back of his hair, rocking them back and forth a little as they hug. 
When Dad pulls away, Roman’s eyes jump up to Thomas. He grins, flashing a thumbs up, and Roman shakily offers one back. “Nice skirt,” Papa says, wrapping an arm around Roman’s shoulders and pulling him in. Roman feels Papa press a kiss to the top of his head, and he fights to keep himself from crying. 
Roman turns, looking at the only family member who hasn’t said anything yet. Logan is still placidly chewing his bagel, watching Roman with his typical calmness. “Logan?” Roman hates the way his voice shakes a little. “Do you like it?” 
Logan swallows and sets his bagel down. He scans over Roman’s outfit with a strange critical expression and says, “No. It looks completely wrong on you.” 
Roman’s heart sinks to the bottom of his chest. Logan stands up, scanning over Roman repeatedly, frowning as he stares at the skirt. “Logan,” Dad says warningly. 
Logan keeps talking. “That is the wrong color for your skin tone. It does not compliment the tan you always achieve in the summer months. The shape is unflattering on your body type, and the material is -” Logan reaches out and rubs the material between two fingers, shuddering. “- is entirely unpleasant. This skirt is completely wrong for you.” 
Roman recognizes the glint in his brother’s eye as he examines the skirt with a critical eye. It’s the way he looks at pieces of clothing that the theater department asks him to help tailor. “You would look much nicer in a circle or handkerchief style skirt. That red is hideous, you need a darker shade. I think that dark green would also look nice on you.” 
“You . . . aren’t mad about me wearing a skirt?” 
Logan blinks at him. “To quote that Avatar show you like so much, ‘Pants are an illusion and so is death.’ Gender is a social construct and clothing should not be dependent on the genitalia you were born with. I do not care if you wish to wear a skirt or not, Roman. Why would I care?” 
“I was nervous about wearing a skirt because I thought you would judge me.” Logan takes a few steps closer, offering a small smile, and Roman feels his heart start to swell and rise like a balloon.
“I was not judging you for wearing a skirt, Roman. If you would prefer to wear a skirt, I will support you, always. I did not mean to imply otherwise. I merely meant to offer my assistance because that skirt looks uncomfortable.” 
“It really is,” Roman sighs. “I stole it from a box of outgoing props.” 
“Go put comfortable clothes on,” Logan tells him. “I am going to the fabric store with Dad later today. I will take your measurements and you can come with us to find a fabric you like. I will make you a skirt that actually fits you.” 
“You’d do that for me?!” 
“Skirts are relatively simple garments to sew, provided you get the measurements correct. I cannot promise that it will be perfect, but I will work to make sure that it is comfortable and flattering on your form.” Roman bounces eagerly. “Can I hug you?” 
Logan tilts his head, considering. “Ten seconds,” he decides, which is more than enough time. Roman pulls his brother into a hug, feeling Logan’s hand flap back and forth against his bag as he happily stims. 
“I love you, Logan,” Roman says, squeezing him tightly. Logan hums at the pressure, pushing closer to his brother before leaning backwards to signal that he’s done being hugged. Roman lets him go, settling down at the table. He can change after breakfast. 
(Two weeks later, Roman comes downstairs in a dark red circle skirt embroidered with golden stars and detailing. Logan hums, flapping and rocking happily when he sees Roman twirl around and show off the way the skirt flares around his thighs. 
“It’s perfect, it’s perfect, I love it so much!” Roman squeals. “Thank you, Logan!” 
Logan flaps even more in response.)

Chapter 2
“Um, Roman, are you sure you know where you’re going?” Rose asked as they walked through the streets of London.
“Yeah!” Roman’s voice echoed along the street. He was quick to lower it to a whisper. “We go to the Leaky Cauldron and tap the bricks in the back alley. Logan put it all in the letter in invisible ink.”
A look of confusion crossed over Henry’s face. “I thought you couldn’t use...you know...outside of school?”
“He used lemon juice, Dad. Trust me, Logan’s not one to break any kind of rule.”
Spotting the sign for the Leaky Cauldron, Roman grinned and raced forward. As soon as he entered, he saw Logan, who looked like he was arguing with Remy.
“If they don’t get here soo-oh, hey there you are.” Remy flashed a smile. “Logan has been waiting for you.”
“I worried that you wouldn’t be able to follow my instructions.”
With a huff, Roman crossed his arms. “I may not be a Ravenclaw but that doesn’t mean I’m dumb.”
“Apologies. I tend to compare Gryffindors to my brother.”
“Hey!”
Roman’s parents caught up, moving to stand behind him. His mother gave the Page brothers a friendly smile. “Hello. I’m Rose.”
“Logan. A pleasure to meet you.”
Roman held in an eye roll as Logan shook his father’s hand. “Can we go now?”
“Roman, manners!” Rose scolded.
A small sigh left Roman’s mouth. “Sorry Mom.”
“Hi, I’m Remy, and the squirt is right, we should get going. We’ve got lots of supplies to buy and we’re burning daylight.”
With those words, Remy headed to the alley behind the Leaky Cauldron, not looking back to see if anyone was following him. Logan sighed and gestured for Roman’s parents to go first, falling into step with Roman in the back.
By the time they got outside, Remy had already tapped the correct pattern on the bricks. Roman’s parents gaped as they watched the bricks pull back.
“Wow.” Rose said, eyes wide. “When we were here last year, we were...teleported here?”
“Oh, you Apparated. I’m surprised Headmaster Thomas brought you that way. Splinching can be quite painful, especially for Muggles.” Logan rattled off, oblivious to Rose and Henry’s growing looks of fear.
Roman elbowed him. “Lo, shush. Besides, Headmaster Thomas knows what he’s doing.”
“Well, um...I think it’s best if we wait in the tavern, honey.” Both of Roman’s parents looked out of their depth. “You have a list, and I’m sure these fine young men can help you out. Besides, you were looking for your other friends too, right?”
Roman gave them a nod. “Yep. I’ve gotta stop at Gringo - um, the bank first and exchange my money, but Patton and Virgil are probably waiting for us over there anyway.”
“That would be the smart place to meet up, as we all need to stop there.”
Roman’s parents gave him quick hugs before heading back into the Leaky Cauldron. He turned to Logan and Remy. “Let’s go.”
The boys reached their destination easily. Roman headed up to the exchange counter while Logan and Remy headed over to get some money out of their vault. He watched them disappear with a goblin, knowing it would be a bit before they came back.
“Ro!”
The call of his name was the only warning Roman got before he was tackle-hugged by a familiar face. He managed to steady the both of them, laughing as he wrapped his arms around his Hufflepuff pal.
“Hey Pat.”
“‘Sup, Ro?” Virgil asked as he walked over, avoiding the hug.
At least, until Patton gently pulled him into it.
When they all let go, Roman glanced around. “Is you-know-who here?”
“You mean Nana?” Virgil whispered, earning a nod. “No, she avoids Diagon Alley in the summer months. Something about ‘too many snot-nosed brats’.”
Virgil pitched his voice up ever so slightly, doing an impression of Nana. Patton burst out laughing immediately, Roman following immediately afterwards.
“Might I ask what you’re laughing about?”
Upon hearing his brother’s voice, Virgil shrank in on himself, taking a step closer to Patton. “It’s an inside joke.”
Devin grinned, his teeth seeming sharp in the dim lighting of the bank. “Oh? I’m sure Nana would love to know you have inside jokes with this...mudblood filth.”
“Oi! Fuck off, you little shit.”
The boys turned to see Remy and Logan walking back up. Remy shot Devin a look, silently daring him to say something else.
Instead, he just waved to Virgil before heading out of the double doors and joining back up with his parents.
“Let me know if he bugs you again on this trip, okay?” Remy said, his voice gentler than any of them had ever heard it before. “I might not be able to do much, but I can at least hang around until he fucks off.”
“Are you threatening my brother, Rem?”
Preston walked up, a single eyebrow raised. He stopped by Virgil, giving him a squeeze on the shoulder.
Remy simply grinned, tipping down his signature sunglasses. “Not this one. Besides, you and I both know Devin sucks.”
“He might, but he’s still my brother.”
Logan cleared his throat, stopping the argument in its tracks. “We’re going to look for books now, meet us at Fortescue's later.”
The four of them headed out, Virgil walking next to Logan while Patton and Roman ran up to look into the windows of the Owl Emporium.
“That was weird, right?” Virgil asked, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. “They were like...arguing, but it kind of seemed flirty.”
“Thank goodness you noticed too.” Logan glanced back over his shoulder, not seeing either of their brothers in the crowd. “I don’t think it’s anything though, Remy would flirt with a damp towel. It’s just his nature.”
A squeal caught their attention and they saw Patton pointing into the window. “They have Pygmy Puffs!!”
“That’s what that is? I thought it was a living puffball.”
“They do appear to look like that.” Logan said as he and Virgil caught up.
The four of them looked through the window, admiring the creatures in their own way. Roman and Patton were cooing over them, pointing out the ones they wanted. Logan simply peered through the window, locking eyes with a puff that was dark blue. Virgil stayed a little further back, startling when one jumped up and hit the window.
“They’re so cute.” Patton pressed his hand against the glass. “I wish I could get one.”
“Perhaps someone will get you one as a gift?” Logan suggested, before looking down at his list. “There aren’t really strict rules on pets at Hogwarts anymore - well, at least not for creatures who quite literally couldn’t hurt a fly.”
“Oh that would be amazing! It could sleep on my pillow, and V, you could cuddle it when you’re feeling bad!”
Biting back a smile, Logan flicked out the paper in his hand. “We should get back on track. There’s quite a few textbooks on the list, and I have a few I wanted to get for fun.”
“Books aren’t exactly my idea of fun.”
The face Roman made had the others laughing. Or, in Logan’s case, playfully rolling his eyes.
“You just haven’t found the right book yet.”
The four of them made their way to Blotts, with Logan trying to convince Roman that some books were worth reading in his spare time.
Leaving them to talk, Patton and Virgil peeled off to grab their own textbooks.
“What are you looking forward to the most this year, V?” Patton asked, straining himself to reach a book on the top shelf.
Reaching over him, Virgil snagged it and handed it over. “I’m not sure. Not having flying anymore will be nice.”
“But you got so much better!”
“Only because I didn’t want to be a splatter on the ground.”
A gasp fell from Patton’s mouth. “Leo never would’ve let that happen! Remember when I fell off?”
“Of course I do!” Virgil grabbed his last book and started walking to the check out. “I thought I was going to have a heart attack!”
When they reached the check out, they found Logan and Roman already waiting for them.
“How’d you beat us?”
“Magic.”
Rolling his eyes at Roman’s answer, Virgil turned to Logan.
“He’s correct. We asked Senior Blott, and he Accio’d the books up here for us.”
“You mean to tell me the two full-blooded wizards didn’t think of that?” A grin spread across Roman’s face.
Handing over his sickles, Virgil turned to his friend. “You don’t want to rely on magic all the time.”
Roman waved him off, before noticing that Patton was done. “Can we go to Quality Quidditch Supplies? I can try out for Quidditch this year and I was hoping to find a model for sale.”
“Why not just use the school brooms? They’re sufficient.”
Patton nodded, seconding Logan’s statement. “Yeah, Leo makes sure they’re upgraded every few years!”
“I know, but I really want my own. Eventually.”
Seeing Roman’s spirits fall, Virgil nudged him. “There’s always Christmas.”
After they spent some time at Quality Quidditch Supplies, and Roman decided to hold off, they headed over to Fortescue's.
Patton and Virgil opted to share a two-scoop sundae, choosing Felixis (a new banana flavor) and chocolate. Logan grabbed a single scoop dish of Crofter’s jam, while Roman moved through, looking at each individual flavor.
The other three sat down, joined after a few minutes by Roman, who’d settled on Moonlit Madness.
“Did you mean to order a children’s cone? If it’s a mix up, I’m sure they’d fix it.” Logan said, starting to lift his hand to call over a waitress.
Yanking Logan’s hand down, Roman shook his head. “It’s not a mistake. I didn’t want a lot, and - wait, is that Remy and Preston?”
Two heads whipped around to find their brothers sitting at a booth in the back, practically hidden from view. Logan groaned, seeing the agenda in Remy’s eyes.
“I think my brother is trying to seduce yours.”
Virgil simply groaned, a thunk sounding as he put his head on the table.
“Why?”
“I mean, your brother is pretty hot-”
Virgil lifted his head enough to peer at the Gryffindor. “Roman, I mean this in the nicest way possible. Shut. Up.”
Laughter rang out from Patton, sending them all into a giggle fest.
“Just 25 more days until we’re back!” Patton was practically vibrating in his seat. “I can’t wait.”

27 - “Sorry. You’re just…really adorable.” 18 - Someone’s birthday Maybe on Patton’s birthday? If you don’t want to write Logan-centric, I think this prompt also works well for Roman!
Oh, this is cute! I think I’m going to go with Logan because flustered Logan is the cutest thing ever. I also may or may not be using this to further my agenda of promoting the sides platonically kissing each other. Physical affection will be provided for all sides!
Notes: So I got a little carried away with making sure Patton got love from everybody and everybody got the Patton love, but I swear it does eventually get to Logan and the prompt. There’s just a healthy serving of fluff first. Also, whoops it’s a little logicality. 
Characters: Patton-centric, all sides
Relationships: platonic DLAMPR, vaguely romantic logicality
~
Patton wakes up on his birthday feeling light and prepared to take on the world. Of course, it wasn’t technically his birthday because they all shared Thomas’s birthday, but it was the day that their fans had picked out to celebrate him! According to Logan, all birthday celebrations were arbitrary and contrived anyway(or something like that) so they may as well go along with the ones that had been picked for them. 
Patton bounces down the stairs to the living room with so much energy that he sears he sees Virgil lunge to catch him like he’s falling, but when he asks later, Virgil denies it. 
“Good morning and a very happy birthday to you, our beloved father figure!” Roman declares the second he catches sight of Patton. Hearing Roman’s booming declaration, the other sides turn to see Patton and Patton’s heart melts. Janus has his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his hat abandoned on the counter, and his arms and gloves are covered in frosting. Remus has tape on his nose and ribbons in his hair and he’s standing by a stack of wrapped gifts. Virgil is putting out plates and napkins with dad jokes on them and Patton notices him laughing at a few. Roman is by the stove and is making an elaborate breakfast. And Logan... Logan is sitting in the armchair, reading a book, and not looking at Patton at all.
Oh. 
Before that train of thought can take Patton anywhere, Virgil is putting down the last plate and coming over to him.
“Morning, Popstar,” he says with a small smile. “Happy Birthday.”
Patton beams. “Thanks, Virge,” he says, opening his arms slightly but not forcefully. Virgil rolls his eyes but quickly buries himself in Patton’s chest. Patton wraps his arms around Virgil as tight as he can and kisses the top of his head. Virgil is bright red when he pulls away, but he leans and gives Patton a quick kiss on the cheek, so Patton counts it as a win.
Patton makes his way over to the kitchen, passing by Remus, who tackles him in a hug. Patton squeals as he grabs the counter to keep from tipping over and hugs Remus back. His head is tucked into Remus’s chest and his face is pressed against what he really hopes are sequins, but he relishes the hug that neither one of them would have felt comfortable with only a few months ago. As it is, Patton giggles against Remus until they both let go and Patton swoops in to kiss Remus’s cheek. Remus feigns surprise and grins, grabbing Patton’s face with both hands and planting a loud and sloppy kiss on Patton’s forehead, both of them ignoring the groans from the other sides. 
Patton slips into the kitchen to join Janus and Roman, who seem to have kicked the others out of what they claimed as their domain, Roman cooking breakfast and Janus preparing a cake. Patton reached over and tapped Janus on the shoulder.
“Too busy for a hug?�� He asks, sliding his arms underneath Janus’s and around his waist and resting his chin on Janus’s shoulder.
Patton yelps as a second set of arms snakes out of Janus’s sides and wraps around Patton, Janus’s fingers locking together as he pulled Patton closer.
“No,” Janus murmurs. “Not too busy. Happy birthday, Patton.”
Patton’s grin threatens to split his face as he nuzzles closer to Janus and presses a light, giggly kiss onto the scales on his neck. Janus’s skin goes hot and Patton slowly pulls away. Janus turns around, his backward-facing arms not continuing to frost the cake behind his back and his frosting covered arms around Patton’s shoulders. Janus’s gloves feel cool on Patton’s neck as he pulls him down slightly and moves to kiss his forehead. He pauses suddenly and readjusts Patton’s head to press a kiss just to the left of where Remus had kissed him.
“Happy birthday,” he repeats, smirking as he turns back to the cake.
When Patton looks over, Roman is leaning against the counter, pans off the stove and the burners off. 
“Is it my turn for some Patton-ted Patton love?” he asks grinning.
Patton’s beams back at him. “Got it in one, kiddo!” he cries, launching himself across the kitchen to be caught in Roman’s waiting arms. Patton’s legs almost his Janus as Roman spins him in the air. Roman laughs and Patton feels like he’s on top of the world.
Roman eventually puts Patton down, but doesn’t let go and Patton leans in to kiss his cheek. 
“Love you, Ro,” he whispers.
Roman’s smile shakes and he pulls Patton in for a bone-crushing hug. “Love you too, Pat. Happy birthday,” he breathes out in between a flurry of kisses to Patton’s head.
Patton is pretty sure he’s already smiled more in this one morning than he did the entire year before when he falls back from Roman’s hug and leans on the counter, but something catches his eye and gives him pause. Logan still hasn’t looked at him once-No. No, Patton was not going to get hung up about what Logan was doing, not today. Not on a day that was already so very nearly perfect.
He smiles as bright as he can and says, “Well, I’m certainly ready to eat this delicious-smelling breakfast that our prince made, is anyone else?” and he keeps smiling as everyone(except Logan) agrees.
Janus and Roman give Patton a run for his money in a pun war and Patton doesn’t remember the last time he laughed so much. Virgil keeps smiling at him and it makes him feel all kinds of warm inside. Remus is laughing uproariously at the pun trio’s jokes regardless of how funny they are and Patton swears Remus sat beside him on purpose because there isn’t a moment when he isn’t squeezing Patton’s arm or nudging him gently or warping him in a half-hug. Logan is... eating. He’s talking some with the others, but Patton can’t help but notice that he hasn’t said a single word to him. Patton laughs at another of Roman’s puns, leans into Remus’s arm, and forgets about it.
~
It’s a long day and Patton couldn’t be more grateful for it and for his family. He looks at them, wrapped up in blankets and cuddled up with him on the couch watching a movie they’ve all seen a dozen times and his eyes start to well up.
“I love you all so much,” he says, his voice cracking. “I had a really great day. Thank you.”
The barrage of coos and ‘aww’s and ‘love you too’s that he gets back feels like an extra blanket and coming home.
The pinched look on Logan’s face as he quickly averts his eyes from Patton and focuses firmly on the movie feels like a dump truck to the stomach.
Patton leans closer to the sea of arms holding him and makes himself revel in that instead of wallowing in self-pity. Self-pity can wait until tomorrow.
~
The trickle off one by one, hugging Patton and wishing him a happy birthday one last time before they go, regardless of the fact that it’s well past midnight. Virgil goes first, his eyes having started to droop almost an hour before. Janus goes second, his hand covering up a yawn. Remus passes out on the couch and Roman lets out a long-suffering sigh, but hugs Patton and picks up Remus to carry him to bed. Then it’s just Patton and Logan, alone in the flickering light of the TV. Patton sighs and leans over to grab the remote. He mutes the movie and waits for Logan to look at him. It takes longer than he would have liked.
“Is something wrong, Patton?” Logan asks crisply.
Patton smiles softly. “You know, everyone else has gone to bed. You don’t need to be here anymore.”
Logan’s eyes widen and something flashes across his face, but he fixes a neutral expression back on his face before Patton can figure out what it is. 
“I am aware that there is no obligation for me to stay,” he says, turning his eyes back to the TV, regardless of the fact that there's no sound, Patton has no idea what movie is on and he’s pretty sure Logan doesn’t either.
Patton sighs. “Look, Logan. It was really nice of you to spend the day with us today. I could tell you didn’t want to. I’m grateful you did but now you can go be alone like you prefer.”
If Patton was feeling particularly generous he’d call the expression on Logan’s face horror. However, he wasn’t and so he labeled it mild distaste.
“Patton, I-” Logan sighs. “I was less than attentive today, which led you to believe that I would rather be elsewhere, correct?” Patton matches Logan’s neutrality with his nod. Logan takes a breath and his voice shakes, “Sorry,” he mutters, “You’re just... really adorable.”
“What?”
Logan smiles, the soft light drawing attention to the blush on his cheeks. “My book this morning: I was hiding my blush. My lack of eye contact: I was trying to remain in control of my words and expression. My lack of physical contact: I was trying to maintain professional boundaries so that I would not be seen as overly emotional.”
“Oh.”
Patton’s earlier smile slowly creeps back onto his face. “It’s just you and me now. There’s no one here to judge you.” he takes a breath and grins wryly. “Think I can get a hug?”
The speed at which Logan launches himself from the chair and into Patton’s waiting arms only speaks to the truth of his earlier embarrassment.
Patton presses all the soft giggly kisses he’d missed that day onto Logan’s head and cheeks while Logan holds him tight enough to bruise.
“I love you, Patton,” Logan whispers. “I hope you had a happy birthday.”
Patton squeezes Logan which elicits a soft kiss on the cheek from him and in turn makes Patton squeal. 
“I had a very happy birthday,” Patton assures him. “And it’s even better now.”
“It’s not your birthday anymore.”
Patton kisses Logan lightly on the lips to put an end to any protests. “And it’s even better now,” he says firmly.

Meddling Coworker AU anybody?
I was really tired and I just thought this up. AU with past romantic Logince, current romantic Prinxiety and current romantic Logicality. Also a smidge of platonic Moxiety.Kind of a long one so buckle up friends.
So let’s say that when Ro and Lo we’re figuring out how Gay they were they started dating to just test the waters
They were good friends but they just didn’t feel any romantic attraction to the other
Eventually, Roman ‘broke up’ with Logan because he didn’t like how they were when they felt forced to be romantic with each other
It’s not really a break up since they were never truly together in the first place
And also Virgil exists and holy heck what a cutie
So they break up, but remain good friends
Everyone is fine with it
Flash forward a few years and a sweet little freckled boy with self esteem issues wanders into Logan’s life and stuff happens
So now we have Roman who’s been with Virgil for a while and Logan who has pretty recently started dating Patton
Everything is going great, they’re all tight friends and they have a great time with eachother
Then one day at Logan’s work
I bet he works at like Best Buy or the Apple store or something
So at his job at Best Buy Roman comes in to yeet Logan’s lunch at him because he forgot it and Patton is sick and Virgil’s taking care of him
So he yeets the lunch at his favorite nerd and hugs him and then drives back home because patTON STOP WORKING YOURE GONNA FALL OVER OH M-
And a coworker sees this or something and says “that your boyfriend?”
And Logan’s like haha no
They continue talking and at some point it’s revealed that they used to date and the coworker just goes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And keeps pestering Logan about the chemistry that is “so obviously still there”
And Logan, sweet Logan with no filter, says that Roman broke up with him because he was in love with someone else and they never were into each other romantically and they’re better as friends
And coworker whom I should really name at this point goes and hecks everything up by saying something along the lines of this
“You don’t hate him for leaving you?” No because- “that’s really weird. You really don’t know how to feel. Don’t worry I���ll help!” I really don’t need you to “You should resent his boyfriend for stealing your man.” No Virgil is actually pretty nice and we are still friends and I’ve moved on and everything “you’re just saying that. You should try and win him back.”
And Logan just goes off about how sweet Prinxiety is and how he wasn’t jealous because he helped set them up and how Patton is the best boyfriend ever
But that still stays with him, and he feels like a robot and other angst happens
Pretty much he starts forcing himself to flirt with Roman and he nearly gags everytime but this is what people do and he just wants to feel normal
Virgil sees this and is like what the hell because Logan hated being in a relationship with Roman and now he’s flirting with him??
So he confronts him and Logan spills his guts, he cries and explains and Virgil’s just there like chill out it’s fine I’m not mad and Roman’s such a thick head I doubt he even noticed
Roman didn’t notice
Patton did
Now for a bit of backstory, Patton is a very emotional person. Feels everything very strongly and wears his heart on his sleeve
And he grew up as a guy in a family where emotions were shoved down and vulnerability was exploited
So he never really had good self esteem, he always felt wrong in one way or another
Then he gets a girlfriend, his family rejoices because he’s already 17 he should’ve had a string of them by now, and it seems like it’s going okay
She’s...... nice
He’s not really in love with her but he can’t really tell her that
He figures out that he’s a panromantic asexual and suddenly everything makes so much sense oh my gosh
So Patton tells her and she gets upset, something about ‘leading her on’ and being cruel and selfish and she outs him to all of his family which isn’t the best situation
So Patton is left with judgemental glares from relatives and disappointed looks from his family and his heart is broken and his just a little bit sad
Why do I do this to my boy :’|
A few years later he meets Logan and Logan is just so great
He’s funny and smart and he’s such a good person and he’s a cutie pie too
And then Patton finds out Logan’s asexual, homoromantic to be exact, and he just starts crying because there’s someone like him
So now they’ve been together for a while and he’s just so in love with Logan it makes his heart hurt
And then he gets sick. Just a minor cold no big deal
But apparently he did something wrong because Logan comes home different
And he spends less time with Patton
And Patton just tears himself apart night after night because he did something wrong, it had to be something he did and he doesn’t get any much sleep for a while
Logan stopped listening to his coworker, though it was quite hard as he was always right there
But he succeeds in telling them off and they don’t bug him again
Logan tells Roman what happened because even though he didn’t notice Logan still wants to keep him in the loop
Lastly there’s Patton
Logan tells Patton about the coworker and the flirting and the everything
And he just looks at him and he looks a little dazed and there’s no emotion and oh god what’s he gonna say is he gonna hate me forever aaa-
But Patton just starts crying on the spot because he thought Logan hated him and it was torturous and he’s just so happy that Logan still loved him
Oh shehdhsh
I just had an idea
What if months after this fiasco Patton has to go to Best Buy for something I don’t know
And that coworker helps him out
Oh my gosh what if Patton just fricking uh
Starting lecturing this person in his Dad Voice™
And Logan had to drag him away before he decked the coworker
Oh that would make me so happy
Not really sure how to end this so...
it ends about there and Logince is still tight as heck, Virgil just started trusting Patton and everyone is very happy
The end
But we all know this is just the beginning
Uh yeah sorry for the long post
(:

Word Count: (who’s she? never heard of her? XP)

Author’s Note:
Hey friends! What’s this? Two chapters in one week!? Don’t get used to it, sadly. I want to get content out ASAP, but my work schedule sucks. For now though, here’s the next chapter in the Bar & Grill AU, and I am SO thankful to see all the positive feedback so far and am happy you’re enjoying it! If you’d like to be in the tag list for future chapters in the Bar & Grill AU or other works by me, let me know. And as always feel free to leave a comment in the messages or reply if you have any notes or constructive critiques. I’m always open to writing advice. Enjoy!
<--PREVIOUS
Chapter 3: Premium Chemistry, Shaken not Stirred (POV- Roman)
It was a slow Tuesday night at the bar & grill, just a dozen of regulars either having dinner at the tables or drinks at the bar. The Sanders’ employees were by no means slacking on their jobs, yet there was an air of comfortable easement. Which suited Roman fine. He’d just come from another long rehearsal before his shift and frankly it had left him in no mood to be overly charming to any new faces tonight. Fortunately for him, Patton was patient enough to listen to him vent.
“…And THEN Fred—you know, our Angel? Ugh, I can’t believe I have to kiss him—anyways, he goes and tells everyone my idea but then just rephrases it differently and takes credit for it. If that wasn’t bad enough, they all go along with it and tell Fred what a great idea he had, especially our stage manager Kiersten, or should I say Kier-satan! Curse that little lesbian Lucifer—I swear those two divas are in cahoots—but it was MY idea in the FIRST place! UGH I can’t stand them! I may also be one of the hot popular leads in the cast, but at least I’M not a jerkity-jerk-two-faced-jerk…Gaghhh, I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore!”
“Roman, take it easy! I know you’re upset but you’re starting to spill,” said Patton.
Indeed he had overfilled one of the glasses and now there was a small puddle on the counter. Good thing it was just club soda from the nozzle and nothing expensive.
“Oh! I’m so sorry,” he said as he fixed the last drink. “Here’s your Old Fashioned, Sal. Just like you.”
“Thanks pal,” said the mustached contractor with a wink.
“And your third Shirley Temple, Imani. You might want to slow down there.”
“Very funny Roman,” said the hijabi. “Save the over dramatics for your rehearsals.”
“I am NOT being over dramatic…not this time anyway,” he pouted, wiping up the spill he’d made with a wet rag.
“Of course you’re not,” said Patton, patting his shoulder sweetly.
Very few things could take even an ounce of enjoyment out of theatrical experiences for Roman, but lying diva cast-mates was one of them. Sadly, he’d been cursed to work with two. In the last few weeks of rehearsals Roman had come to befriend most of the cast and production team. However Fred had proven himself to be an entitled actor that only gave the time of day to his own clique, and Kiersten was—for lack of a Patton approved word—a bitch who was fake nice to everyone only to subtly undermine everyone else’s opinions, even the director! Roman absolutely hated people like that!
“Hey Patton,” said Lizzie, another regular, from the other side of the bar. “Can I get a gin for me and a whiskey sour for my lady love here?”
For once Lizzie was in a black dress and not her usual EMT uniform. Beside her was a curly haired woman in a rose pink dress that complimented her olive skin-tone perfectly. Yas queen, Roman thought. At least someone around here was getting lucky in the love department.
“Coming right up Lizzie! Goodness, it is so nice to finally meet you Maya,” said Patton, ambling over to his customers.
“You know my name?” asked Maya looking pleasantly surprised.
“Oh of course! Lizzie talks about how wonderful you are all the time.” Then Patton gasped loudly. “Is that an engagement ring I spy? CONGRATULATIONS you two! Here, have a celebratory cookie. Aw heck, have two! You deserve it.”
“Thank you,” they said, smiling as Patton handed them each two mini chocolate chip cookies from his apron stash.
As Roman watched his co-worker he couldn’t help but silently gush. This was the thing he loved most about Patton- how sincerely kind he was. The bespectacled angel never put on airs or had ulterior agendas. There wasn’t a single catty bone in the cat lover’s huggable body (ironic given how allergic Patton was to cats). If he listened to or remembered a little detail about you, it was because he genuinely cared about you as a human being. And for Roman, who worked in the competitive and often shady world of theater, that was a rare and beautiful quality in a person.
Everything about Patton was beautiful.
“I think that spot there is clean enough lover boy,” said Sal, his mustache twitched in a smirk.
“Right. Thanks Sal—wait, what do you mean lover boy?” he asked.
“Listen, Ro,” Patton said coming back over. “I understand why you’re so upset and your feelings are completely valid. But you can’t let people like that get you down and ruin the whole experience for you. That’s how bullies like them win. You get along with the rest of the cast, right?”
“Yes, they’re fantastic,” he said. “Our Mimi and I have even become good friends.”
“Aaand your director is nice and fair, right?”
“Very. He’s downright brilliant.”
“And you’re having fun being part of this show, right?”
“Of course! RENT is an institution!”
“Then that’s all that should matter! Just do your best, ignore the rest, and remember to have fun with it!”
Roman chuckled at Patton’s dad-like gesture. So adorable.
“I suppose you’re right Patton. It’s just frustrating. I can’t stand deceitful people like that. They really get under my skin! ...Anyways, enough about my drama. How are you Patton? Anything new in your life?”
For some reason Patton seemed surprised by the question. It’s not as though Roman wasn’t interested in the other’s life. In fact, he was very interested in it. Wanted to be a part of it even…part of his world. Now is not the time for mental Disney references, Roman. Then Patton beamed. Dear lord, its like he was made of sunshine.
“I’m doing pretty great actually,” said Patton. “In fact, I’ve started volunteering at the local animal shelter on my days off. It’s not Veterinary school, but pretty close enough.And I still get to help cute little animals.”
Of course he would spend his rare free-time helping others. He truly was an angel sent from the heavens. ‘That’s wonderful Patton! I’m happy for you, truly.”
“Thanks Roman. That…means a lot to me.”
“And how’s it been with my temporary replacement?”
“Not bad. He gets along with the customers well enough, although he can’t hold a candle to you.”
“Well of course,” Roman waved his hand dramatically. “I’m basically Lumière.”
Patton giggled. “Actually, aside from looking alike, you wouldn’t think Remy and Logan were related. He’s a lot more laid back. Although he does have a habit of showing up late for work, and I think he might have a bit of a coffee addiction.”
“A bit?” Lizzie called from across the bar. “Please, that guy probably has more coffee in his veins than blood!”
Roman laughed. “Coffee can be pretty addicting. That’s why I switched to drinking chai lattes. They certainly taste a lot better too.”
“Huh. Interesting…”
For some reason Patton seemed to be staring at Roman’s mouth. Good lord, did he have something in his teeth? He turned his head away to slyly check. Phew! All good.
“Well at least one of us is getting along with our new co-workers. Unlike me,” he grumbled. Stupid Fred. Stupid Kiersten.
“Aw Roman, isn’t there something I can do to cheer you up?” asked Patton.
“I doubt it, but I appreciate the gesture Patton.”
Roman sighed, propped his elbow on the table and rested his cheek in hand. As much as he loved being in RENT rehearsals it was taking a chuck out of his treasured time with Patton. Now not only was he forced to deal with two diva bitches, but also someone else was having time with his Patton, probably falling for him just as much as Roman had and waiting to make a move. What if Remy charmed Patton enough that he’d actually break-up with Dio for the guy? What if he was more Patton’s type, more worthy of the sweet man’s love than him? What if his replacement was more handsome than he was!?
Wait what am I thinking? There’s no one more handsome than me. Still… Suddenly there was a staccato tapping on his shoulder. Roman turned from his musings to see Patton grinning at him. The man was practically vibrating with giddiness.
“Can I just, say something crazy?” he asked.
At this line Roman shot up like a meerkat. No. He’s not… Patton wiggled his eyebrows at him conspiratorially, biting his soft looking bottom lip in excitement. He is! Roman did a quick sweep of the bar & grill to make sure there was no sign of Logan. Lenient as their friend boss might be, he’d never let them get away with an impromptu Disney number while they were supposed to be working. Luckily Logan wasn’t around. Probably still in his office. Good.
Roman gave Patton his most dashing smile. “I love crazy!”
“All my life has been a series of doors in my face
and then suddenly I bump into you,” Patton sang.
Roman joined in on cue. “I was thinking the same thing! ‘Cause like,
I’ve been searching my whole life to find my own place.
And maybe it’s the party talking or the chocolate fondue.”
“But with you,” Patton did a slide to the right.
“But with you” Roman slid to the left. “I found my place.”
“I see your face.”
On ‘face’ Patton lightly booped his nose and then stepped out from the bar. Roman followed suit. They had more room to move with and around each other.
“And it’s nothing like I’ve ever known before!
Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!”
Roman knew that Patton could sing, having hummed Disney songs together before, but he’d never had the pleasure of hearing it in full. Patton’s lovely tenor voice blended perfectly with his own baritone vocals. They even nailed the harmonies!
“Love is an open door!”
“With you!” Patton pointed.
“With you!” Roman pointed back.
“With you!”
“With you!”
“Love is an open door.”
Roman couldn’t help laughing out loud. Patton’s joy and whimsy truly were infectious.
“I mean it’s crazy.”
“What?”
“We finish each other’s—
“Sandwiches!” Thomas shouted from over at the kitchen window, holding a plate of club sandwiches.
“That’s what I was going to say!” Roman called back indignantly. 
Then he felt Patton pulling him by the hands to the center of the room as he skipped backwards. “I never met someone”
“Who thinks so much like me!”
“Jinx! Jinx again!” The two grinned as they nailed the pinky swears.
“Our mental synchronization
Can have but one explanation.”
“You”
“And I”
“Were”
“Just
Meant to be!”
Perhaps spurred on by the theatricality of the moment (definitely not his secret feelings), Roman dared to take Patton’s hand and wrap his arm around the other’s waist. Then he led Patton into a waltz. It was a bit sloppy but in a silly lighthearted way. He adored the flustered look on Patton’s face.
“Say goodbye”
“Say goodbye”
“To the pain of the past.
We don’t have to feel it anymore!”
In the back of his mind Roman knew that they were drawing attention to themselves but he didn’t care. Only Patton was in his world in that moment, and thus his world was bright and joyful and perfect. Patton was perfect.
“Love is an open door!
Love is an open door!
Life can be so much more!”
“With you!”
“With you!”
“With you!”
“Love is an open doooor…” Patton finished the song with a giggle. God I love this man.
Suddenly the place was filled with applause. Roman swore he even heard someone whistle from the kitchen. It wasn’t very loud given that there weren’t many people at Sanders’ tonight, but the energy was certainly boisterous enough to match even a full house. For some reason, Talyn was handing money over to Joan. Even Virgil seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and was clapping as he leaned against the wall. Where did he come from? I swear that guy is like a shadow sometimes.
That’s when Roman realized he and Patton were still holding onto each other. They were face to flushed smiling face. So close he could see the pure honey color of Patton’s eyes. Roman could lean in, feel just how soft those sweet lips truly were if he wanted to, and dear lord did he want to. So far yet so…close…
STOP! STOP! HE’S TAKEN YOU IDIOT! The flaring red alarm in Roman’s brain brought him back to the reality of the situation. Roman stopped himself and settled for just smiling at Patton. Way too close Roman. You nearly ruined the best thing you have with the best person in your life. Dio doesn’t know how lucky he is.
“Just KISS already ya goofballs!” Dakota shouted from across the room.
Terrence shut him up by smacking him on the back of the head form the table opposite him, but it had already been said. It was out there now, spoken to the universe. Roman’s entire face was burning and his co-worker was just as red beneath those freckled cheeks he wanted to kiss so badly. Oh great! You’ve embarrassed him! He immediately let go of Patton’s hands, laughing it off awkwardly. He already missed the warmth of those soft gentle hands. If only his heart would stop fluttering.
“Ahem.” Oh no.
Roman slowly turned around to find Logan standing there. His arms were crossed, his face stone-like, and yet to Romans surprise he didn’t seem angry. In fact, he would swear there was an amused glint in his dark eyes.
“Well. That was quite the performance. Highly unprofessional in this setting,” he said, adjusting his glasses.
Patton stepped in front of Roman, arm held out protectively. “It was my fault Logan. I was the one that started singing. Roman had a really bad day and everyone was already taken care of. I just wanted to cheer him u—
Logan held up a hand, and Patton closed his mouth with a pop. “However…given that it is nearly empty in here, save for our regular customers and they all seemed to enjoy the show…I shall let it slide this one time.”
“Wow. Thank you Lo—“
“Just don’t make a habit of it, or else it’s dish duty for the both of you.”
Roman gulped, picturing all those burnt cheese encrusted pans. His nails would never survive. “Understood specs.”
“Excellent. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there is a shoebox full of bank statements in my office that need organizing.”
Logan walked away with an almost giddy smile. He really is a happy little nerd at heart. Roman shook his head fondly as he and Patton returned to the bar.
“Nice little show you put on,” said Virgil, suddenly standing at Roman’s end of the bar.
“Gah,” Roman jumped. “We really need to put a bell on you, shadowling.”
“Hi Virgil!”
“Sup bro?”
“Need me to place an order for you?”
“Nah don’t sweat it. I already asked Thomas while you guys were having your Disney mania moment. You two were getting pretty cozy at the end there.”
Roman’s ears felt hot again and he shot a panicked look at Patton. The fatherly figure either hadn’t heard that last part or was pretending otherwise. How DARE Virgil embarrass his own stepbrother like that! Wait, is he blushing too? Is that a good sign or a bad one? Okay, just play it cool Roman.
“Oh don’t be ridiculous, Cruella de Virgil. Patton was only trying to lift my spirits after an arduous rehearsal, which he did as always. Uh-I-I mean-like you always do with any of your friends! Nothing special or non-consensually romantic about it!”
Roman laughed weakly but thought he’d played it off well. Patton no longer looked embarrassed at least. Although…his smile seemed a bit off.
“Yep! Just helping out a…friend,” said Patton.
“I do feel better now. Truly,” said Roman. He covered Patton’s hand with his own and gave a reassuring squeeze, knowing how much the man loved physical affection. “Thank you for lifting my spirits Patton. It means a lot.”
“Anytime Roman,” said Patton.
“I hate to interrupt fellas,” said Sal, “But we’re out of beer nuts here. Mind getting some more?”
“Woops! Sorry ‘bout that kiddo,” he said to the older gentleman. “We should have another can of them in the supply room somewhere. Be right back.”
Roman watched the pseudo padre practically prance to the back storage, unable to ignore how good those khaki jeans looked on him from behind. He felt ashamed at his having the male gaze but DAMN IT ALL, how could a man be both sexy and cute at the same time? That’s not FAIR!
“Geez, you do have it bad, don’t you Princy?” said Virgil.
“Whaaaat? Pshh me? Have feelings for Patton? Knowing full well he’s my co-worker and already taken? You-you impude my honor! I-I do not secretly…love…Patton…”
“Falsehood,” said Logan passing by with a box in his hands.
This had Virgil and pretty much everyone else seated at the bar in a guffaw. He shot them all dagger eyes but even he knew this was a weak response. Heck, if the cyborg had picked up on the feelings he’d tried to hide then clearly he hadn’t done a very good job. His shoulders sagged in defeat.
“Is it really that obvious?” he asked.
“YES,” They all answered.
“Subtlety isn’t exactly your strong suit,” said Imani.
“That’s true,” he sighed. “Wait, you don’t think Patton—
“Don’t worry bud, he doesn’t know. I love my brother but he’s about as oblivious as you are dramatic.” 
Roman gave a fake-offended gasp, but even he knew it was a gesture weakened by his relief. Thank goodness Patton was still preoccupied in storage. Come to think of it, he’s been going back there a lot lately…I hope he’s okay. Probably just sneaking off to text his boyfriend, the lucky bastard.
“Seriously though,” Virgil said, “you really should just kiss him already. Or at least tell him how you feel. You know, carpe diem and all that.”
“Virgil…I’d be lying if I said doing either of those things hasn’t occupied my every waking daydream since I met that beautiful man!” Roman sighed loudly, setting down the towel he’d thoroughly wrung out. “But I don’t dare to risk ruining our friendship if he doesn’t feel the same.”
“Some risks are worth taking. And that’s coming from the guy who won’t risk going outside if there’s even a slight chance of scattered thundershowers.”
“But…your tagger symbol is your initials inside of a storm cloud.”
“The irony doesn’t escape me.”
“Besides,” said Lizzie, “I don’t think it’d be too big a risk since Patton clearly feels the same about you.”
“Wait, wha-what?” A glimmer of hope rose up in Roman chest.
“Hey, what the heck Lizzie? I have a bet going on!” Imani shouted from the other end of the bar. Wait, what bet?
“So do I sister!” Lizzie playfully stuck her tongue out at the Muslim woman then kissed her fiancé.
“Wait, wait, back up! What the heckity-heck with five abs in one peck—
“That’s a visual,” said Virgil.
“—makes you think Patton could possibly have feelings for me? Are you certain? Did he say something to you?”
“Well no, not in words per se. But he sure does show it pretty darn clearly,” said Sal as he took a swig of his drink. Then he held it out, silently asking the bartender for another.
“How so?” Roman asked as he mixed another Old Fashioned.
“For one thing he gets real touchy feely with you. Always going in for hugs and squeezing your arm and the like.”
“Patton’s always like that. He’s a very affectionate man.” One of his most endearing traits, Roman thought.
“True, but with you he’s extra,” said Sal as he took his drink.
“Plus, whenever you show up for you shift, he gets super bubbly,” said Lizzie. “Even by Patton standards.
“Not to mention you two just fucking waltzed around the room together,” said Joan as they passed by with two orders of nachos.
“Aaand he sang a Disney song just to cheer you up,” said Talyn as they brought Terrence and Dakota their checks.
“And don’t forget I grew up with the guy,” said Virgil. “I recognize his puppy-love face and he definitely gets it around you.”
“But,” said Iman with a resigned huff. “You want to know the biggest tip off? You are the only person here who he never calls kiddo.”
Roman’s mouth was opened prepared to protest, but this last bit of evidence took the wind right out of his chimes. He couldn’t remember Patton ever referring to him by his favorite fatherly term of endearment. Did that truly mean he saw Roman as more than a friend? Could he really be lucky enough to have somehow earned the affection of someone as kind, beautiful and wonderful as Patton Cline? Could the light of his life truly see something in him worthy of loving? If that’s the case then maybe Roman did have a chance! Maybe they could be more than friends, maybe—
“I…I can’t.” Roman signed, shoulders slumping with lost hope. “You’re right, I should be honest with my feelings. And perhaps what you say about Patton may be true. But there’s one glaring obstacle you’re all forgetting about; he already has a boyfriend. An awful creepy one but nevertheless…he is taken. And as much as I hate my snake-faced rival, Dio is the one Patton has chosen to be with. Not me...which means that is what he wants most.” 
Roman did his best to swallow back tears threatening to make a jailbreak from his eyes. “So long as that is the case, I will not disrespect Patton’s choice by coming between them. That would be dishonorable of me and unfair to Patton. And I love him too much to ever do anything that could possibly hurt him.”
He could practically feel all of their eyes on him, but none of them said anything. They merely turn back to their drinks or meals. Roman was glad of it. He didn’t think he could handle them trying to convince him otherwise. He was more than willing to suffer in silence if it means doing right by the man he loved.
When he looked up at Virgil though, his best friend, there was a look of understanding in the artist’s eyes behind his bangs. Perhaps even respect.
“Fair enough,” Virgil said.
“Order up Virgil,” said Thomas.
He held out the to-go bag, for once leaning outside of the kitchen doors instead of the windowsill. The cook was giving Roman a look of sympathy. Had he been eavesdropping between orders?
“Thanks Thomas,” said Virgil grabbing the bag. “I already had Logan ring up my bill when I came in, so I’m just gonna duck out.”
“Okay. See you next time then. And Roman…hang in there buddy.” 
Then the young cook retreated back into the kitchen. Yep. He definitely eavesdropped. Surprise, surprise. Was everyone in Sanders’ privy to the Chilean soap opera that had suddenly become his love life? Or lack thereof.
“For what it’s worth Roman…I’d be cool with it.” Virgil scratched the back of his neck beneath his hood. “I think you’d be really good for my brother.”
“Wow...Thanks Virge,” said Roman, humbled by the anxious man. “That really means a lot.”
“Whatever,” Virgil scoffed. “Just know that if you do ever break his heart, I’m gonna kick your ass.”
Roman chuckled. “Believe me Dark Knight, I’d kick my own ass first before I let that happen.”
“Good.” Virgil put on his large headphones and two-finger saluted him. “Later.”
Roman watched his friend leave Sanders’ and looked through the glass window as Virgil parkoured away, his black clad figure merging into the dark of the night. It was nice to know that Roman had his approval, though it hardly mattered. Not while Patton wanted to be with someone else.
“I’m back!” said Patton.
“Gah!” Roman jumped a little at Patton suddenly appearing behind him. Seems both brothers have a talent for appearing out of nowhere.
“And I brought beer nuts.” He poured them from the large metal cylinder into the small table bowls at the bar. “Here you go kiddos. What’d I miss?”
“Nothing! Nothing of interesting. Certainly no missed confessions or anything…Uh you sure were back there a long time. Did you get lost or something?”
Patton smiled back at him, but it wasn’t his usual ear-to-ear smile. If Roman didn’t know any better he’d say his eyes looked a bit red behind those glasses.
“Nah, I had to make a quick phone call to…anywho, it doesn’t matter. So didja miss me Roman?”
Roman. Not kiddo. ”Always Patton.”
His partner in bartending crime and unknowing thief of his heart chuckled in that childlike manner he had. Then he turned back to work, cleaning glasses and humming the song they’d sung together only moments ago. Even as he did such a simple task Roman couldn’t help admiring him. Those fairy dust freckles, kind eyes, soft looking waves of hair, and warm smile…he truly was the sun in his sky; So close and beautiful, yet so very far away.
Roman sighed and said softly under his breath, “More than you’ll ever know.”

The World We’re Gonna Make
Some background info/a look at the characters in my Orphan Au verse. If you want to read more about their adventures, there are two stories that have been posted to go along with it so far, which you can read here and here
Logan Lockerman: - He’s the oldest (by a couple of months but still) - He’s very protective over the others and worries about them constantly, he’s basically the Mom Friend - Placed in the system when he was born, has no idea who his parents are and doesn’t give a shit either - He’s trans, which was something he discovered when he was like three (Patton helped him choose his new name) - People always tell him he’s too young to really know though and so most adults refuse to call him Logan or use the right pronouns. - Logan almost always corrects them though even if it makes his situation worse because he does not have a chill, someone please stop him - Thomas calls Logan the right name/uses the right pronouns from the start which helps with trust - Literally is the biggest troublemaker ever, because he’s stubborn as fuck and also refuses to follow any sort of rule he thinks is stupid or unfair. Has his own agenda in life, most of which revolves around keeping Patton, Roman, and Virgil safe and with him at all times, and will do whatever it takes for that to happens - Gives zero shits what anyone thinks about him (except he sort of cares what Patton, Roman, and Virgil think and eventually Thomas too) - He’s the honorary grandson of a knitting club that meets in the library every Wednesday night. They all love him and his rebellion, especially once they see him interact with Pat, Ro, and V, and are always giving him tips on how not to get caught. They’ve taught him how to knit although he doesn’t admit that, and help him whenever he needs to do something he maybe shouldn’t - They’re also totally chill with him being trans and are willing to fight people who say he is too young - Literally the best role models ever, I love them - A tol boy. Even at 12 he’s already v tall and still growing. None of his pants fit him anymore, so Thomas has to take him shopping after he takes them in just so that he has something that fits - Used to cut his own hair when it got too long with a little help from Patton, and while it always looked a little messy it was better than the dysphoria caused by long hair - He gets his first real haircut after moving in with Thomas when Patton asks to borrow scissors to cut Logan’s hair and Thomas offers to book an appointment with an actual hair stylist instead - Is a huge fucking nerd who loves space and would love to be an astronaut except that it would require him to leave the others and he’s too attached to do that (although he would never admit that because “ew, feelings” - “VIVA LA PLUTO, FUCK YOU” - Likes watching the stars when he’s stressed, it calms him down. - He also likes talking about the stars with the others when they’re upset, it’s basically the only way he knows how to calm them down. It works most of the time. - Also is really fascinated by the ocean but hasn’t spent a lot of time studying it. It lowkey scares him as much as it fascinates him. - Maybe wants to be a marine biologist, who knows, he’s fucking 12 after all - Self Care who? I don’t know her. - Will fight his family if they don’t take care of themselves but he doesn’t do it himself - A true disaster gay - Would stay up all night studying if Patton could sleep alone. Sometimes he sneaks out of bed if Ro or Virgil joins Patton because of nightmares and will sit reading at his desk for hours until one of them wakes up and drags him to bed - Has passed out his desk several times. Has literally zero regrets, unless Patton finds him and scolds him because Patton is good at making him feel guilty for doing that. - Hella smart, which he uses to keep from getting caught doing things he shouldn’t - Grew up too fast and never got to really act like a child because he always felt the need to protect the others from the day he met Patton - Has trouble letting loose, even after they are taken in by Thomas, although slowly he learns to relax just a little, and there are rare times he completely lets himself go - One of those times is when they visit the Planetarium and Science Museum, and Logan lets his enthusiasm and joy take over as he drags the others around to each exhibit, excitedly explaining everything he knows on each topic before they move on. - A true Slytherclaw
Patton Morgan: - The second oldest - The softest puffball ever, unless you hurt his friends in which case he will fight you zero hesitation - The Dad Friend who will adopt literally anyone who needs him even if they’re older than him it doesn’t matter, you’re still one of his kiddos - Was given up when he was a few months old for unknown reasons, always has been curious about his parents but there’s no information to go on so he tries not to let it bug him. Besides he has his own famILY and he loves them more than anything - Gives the best hugs, and gives them all the time. Always greets people with a hug, even if it hasn’t been the long since he last saw them - Has trouble sleeping alone so he usually sleeps with Logan especially when they were kids. - Loves all animals, especially cats, even if he’s allergic and cannot resist helping an animal in need. He’s gotten in trouble quite a few times for hiding injured wild animals in his room that he was nursing back to health - Animals love him just as much back, everywhere he goes he attracts them like a fucking Disney Princess - Not as much of a troublemaker as Logan, doesn’t like breaking the rules or making others upset with him, but will do it when necessary, usually to protect his family - Loves to bake and taught himself to do so with a bit of help from Logan when he was 7. Always gets in trouble for baking unsupervised, and has burned himself more than once by getting distracted - Tried to cook once and ended up almost setting the kitchen on fire. He’s not allowed to cook anymore. - Loves to draw and is actually pretty good at it, but thinks of it as more of a silly hobby than anything else (as in he doesn’t think he’s that great but he others strongly disagree) - Owns way too many coloring books that he likes to share with the others when they’re stressed, it’s the ultimate relaxation technique - Looks on the bright side of life and tries to keep a positive attitude as much as possible. - Loves make others happy it is his favorite past time - Shorter than Logan but not by much. He’s covered in freckles and has curly dirty blonde hair that’s almost always messy and impossible to tame but in a cute way - He’s adorable and he knows it and uses it to keep himself and his family out of trouble - Convinced Logan to get matching glasses because he thought it was cute - Has a super pretty singing voice but always gets really shy about it and insists it’s not that good - Spends a lot of time threatening to fight his friends for not believing in themselves or thinking they’re not good enough/good at something, but also is a major hypocrite because he always talks down about himself - Needs! To! Learn! Self! Love!! - Wears his heart on his sleeve and always feels every emotion like, 10000%, which leads to him getting hurt a lot and the others threatening to beat people up - Used to get bullied until Logan found out, afterward which everyone was too scared to even look at Patton wrong because Logan is hella fucking protective when he needs to be - Loves Christmas, to the point where as soon as Halloween is over he’s blasting Christmas carols and watching Christmas movies, he even makes his own decorations out of paper because that’s all they have and covers everything with cheer - Has a journal where he writes all the good stuff that happens every day which helps cheer him up when he’s sad - Aggressively loves you tbh - Cries when he’s angry/frustrated, which often makes people think that he is weak/they need to baby him - Does Not need to be treated like a child, he can take care of himself perfectly fine thank you very much - Never is ashamed to admit when he does need help, which is why he gets frustrated when people don’t believe him when he says he can handle something - Good at reading people and always knows what they need to hear when they need to hear it - Has the best puns - An honest to god Slytherpuff and it’s terrifying
Roman Creasy: - The baby - The smolest child, will actually fight you if you point it out though - Was raised by a single mother until he was 5, it had always been just the two of them and they were really close so he was super upset when she died - She was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Roman walked away with only a few cuts and bruises - Roman doesn’t really like riding in cars and gets antsy when he has to be in them too long as a result - Learned from an early age that nothing in life comes for free so if you want your dreams to come true you have to work for them - Believes that anything is possible if you’re willing to put in the effort, no dream is too big even when others say it’s unrealistic - Wants to be an actor on Broadway and has since he was two and his mom took him for the first time to the local theater. He fell in love instantly with the music, the dancing, the sparkling lights, and declared that that was what he wanted to do - He spends a lot of time practicing even though others don’t always see it like that. He’s always singing, dancing, trying to get better, every story he tells is a performance because he’s practicing for being on stage - Loves all things Disney and will defend the movies to his grave, if you insult them in front of him you’ve made a mistake because he will go off on you - His favorite princess is Mulan and his favorite prince Flynn Ryder - One of the last things he has from before his mom died is the prince outfit she bought him for Halloween when he was five. It was too big then, and now it’s mostly falling apart, but he still wears the sash when he plays prince - After Thomas takes them in, Thomas buys him a new costume that Roman wears basically all the time - Is always covered in cuts and bruises from “Questing”, and from doing things like climbing trees he shouldn’t or climbing on top the monkey bars and falling off. - Roman gets into a lot of trouble but usually on accident, he’s an act now think later sort of person, often times he sees rules as a challenge rather than something to be followed, and he doesn’t hesitate to save someone in trouble (He’s gotten into a few fights with bullies at school, Logan is proud and Patton just concerned). - He writes stories all the time but will only share them with his family because he doesn’t think they’re that good. - He also has the tendency to start things and never finish them because he just has a lot of ideas - He carries a notebook around so that he jots down his ideas whenever they come to him so he doesn't forget them because his mind is just always going - Whenever he has nightmares he’ll sneak into Patton and Logan’s room and depending on what it was about depends on who he wakes up for comfort - Most of the time he wakes up Patton because a hug from him can cure basically anything and he’s the best at comfort - When he dreams about his mom though he usually wakes up Logan because he needs the comfort of the mom friend - Is adorable as fuck and knows it. His hair is a light brown and a little wavy, the ends are dyed red after he moves in with Thomas and he mostly keeps it pushed out of his face but when he gets really excited some of it falls in his eyes and it makes him look even more adorable, he has freckles on his face from the sun but that’s it. - He’s almost always happy and excited and is like the most precious child in the world, always ready for adventure, he’s basically like a puppy I love him. - He’s really smart but has trouble sitting still and learning, but Logan helps him out by taking the time to explain things in a way that keeps Roman interested and at a pace he can understand - Took dance classes before his mother died and really wants to take them again, but he also doesn’t want to bother Thomas by asking so he just tries to teach himself from videos he sees online - Thomas catches on at some point and signs Roman up for classes and Ro cries he is so grateful - Pretends that he’s super confident and bulletproof and like nothing can hurt him, but is actually really sensitive and takes everything that people say to heart - Craves validation and being praised which leads to him going out of his way to get attention - Is such a people pleaser. He wants everyone to like him and gets upset when they don’t - Needs to be protected he is literally so pure - Self-identified Gryffindor willing to fight you about it, but could easily be Ravenclaw or Slytherin
Virgil Antley: - The newest to the family, he’s only been with them about five months before Thomas takes them in - The second youngest, about 6 months older than Roman - They are all very protective over him, literally the other three would kill for Virgil without a second thought. - An anxious babe, but also really soft and sweet. - Just wants to be loved tbh - Cries when people yell at him. - Usually assumes if someone is mad it’s his fault and tries to apologize even if they’re not mad at him - Because of his anxiety there’s a lot of times that he can’t talk, so Logan taught them all sign language so that they communicate when Virgil has trouble speaking - Was put into the system after his parents were arrested for drug charges and stayed at the same group home as the others for 4 months while his parents went to rehab and tried to prove they were fit to have a kid again - Got really attached to the others after Logan calmed him down from a nightmare talking about stars and then Patton cuddled him until he fell back asleep. - It took him a little longer to warm up to Roman cause he’s so loud and excitable, but after Ro fell asleep on him one night Virgil decided he didn’t mind him so much - Virgil is highly protective over Roman, and will fight anyone that touches him. - They bicker a lot and can be sort of mean to each other but in a playful way and if anyone else said the things about Ro that Virgil did (or vice versa), Virgil would kick their ass - After 4 months had passed his parents came to take him home and Virgil doesn’t really want to go but there’s literally nothing the others can do. - Logan yells and throws a fit because there’s clearly something off, no kid should be afraid of their parents like Virgil is of his but there’s literally nothing they can do - Two weeks later Virgil’s parents get arrested for child abuse after Virgil misses like three days of school and they come to his house to find him locked in the basement covered in bruises - He had a broken arm and quite a few bruised/cracked ribs from where he fell (was pushed) down the stairs and a concussion, as well as being dehydrated from being locked up for so long without food or drink. - The three boys sneak into the hospital to see him when they find out and refuse to leave Virgil’s side until he’s discharged and eventually the doctors give in because it would honestly just cause Virgil more trauma at this point to remove them then to let them stay - He returns to the group home after a few days in the hospital for about a week, until someone (Thomas) offers to foster him so that he could get access to the care he really needed to recover from the trauma - Which leads to Thomas taking in all four boys after he sees them together and decides they can’t be separated - Before meeting the others Virgil was pretty touch starved, so afterwards he becomes super clingy and is usually always in physical contact with at least one of the others in some form. It also helps calm him down and keep him grounded when his anxiety is !!!! - Learned to play the piano from his music teacher when he was 5 and was basically a natural. - By the time he moves in with Thomas, who has a piano in his living room, he hasn’t played in over a year and it takes him a while to actually work up the courage to do so again, but he’s still just as good. - He wants to learn other instruments when he gets older, but right now hasn’t decided exactly what yet - Average height for his age, but also too skinny thanks to neglect. On the paler side, but not necessarily in the way that looks unhealthy, it’s just his skin tone. - Likes to hide behind his fringe (which is dyed purple thanks to Thomas) because it makes him feel safer. He usually wears an oversized hoodie for the same reason - Has the cutest fucking puppy eyes that you cannot resist and melts even the most frozen of hearts - Is honestly a really chill child, especially compared to Roman who is sort of high demand, he doesn’t require much attention on a day to day basis but he does like it when he gets some - Has a curious side that he doesn’t show a lot because anxiety, but like as he becomes more comfortable around the others he starts asking more questions. - Once he gets started, its hard to get Virgil to stop asking questions, he always wants to know more, partly for the fun of it, partly because the more knows the more his anxiety is eased - Likes science because it’s a lot about asking questions and trying to find answers. - Logan and Virgil have gotten into a lot of questionable situations in the name of science -Tbh he’s a Griffinclaw but he will literally fight you over that
Thomas Sanders: - The foster dad who takes the boys in - In a constant state of s t r e s s - Is Trying His Best with mild success - There are good and bad days, though he likes to think there’s more good than bad over time - Just wants the boys to be happy healthy children who aren’t worried about things they shouldn’t be, like not getting food or being separated or being punished for giving their opinion - Although yelling isn’t the best way to share your thoughts, Logan, there is a polite way to disagree with someone especially if they’re willing to listen to you there’s no need shout - A pure soul - Often bites off more than he can chew because he just wants to help others out and make them happy - Signed up to be a foster parent so that he could help out kids in need - Virgil was supposed to be his first foster kid, alone, but when Thomas met the others (and maybe was threatened a bit by Logan and Patton) and saw the four of them together he decided he was going to take all of them - A lot of people think he’s crazy for taking on four kids his first time, especially when all of those four kids are known for making trouble and/or were dealing with effects of various types of trauma - Thomas thinks he’s crazy a lot of the time too, but at the same time these boys are worth it - A high school music teacher who also helps out a lot with theater, also basically the coolest teacher in school everyone loves him - He learned sign language after he decided to be a teacher because he figured it could help out with students/parents/siblings - Acts whenever he has a chance at the local theater downtown - He takes the boys there one Saturday and Roman falls in love instantly - Honestly one of the things that helps Roman open up to him - Does his best to support the boys however he can, like getting Logan new clothes and a haircut, buying Virgil sheet music and letting him use the piano, taking Roman to dance classes, and very easily being talked into adopting a dog by Patton (He had been debating on doing it anyways, and Pat had a good point it might help the others open up and trust him more and also help Virgil relax a bit) - Is super excited/proud whenever one of the boys opens up to him a little or even when they just start to relax more in his presence - Almost cries the first time Virgil talks to him tbh because it’s such a big deal - Loves to do things that makes the boys happy and spends so much time trying to figure out what they each enjoy so that he can take them to those things - He tries his best to accommodate each one of the boys and their little quirks - Like that he shouldn’t ever raise his voice around Virgil and to make sure he gives the boy extra reassurance when something went wrong - Or that the best way to get Roman to do anything, even the things he didn’t want to do, was to make it seem like a quest of some sort - Realizes early on that Patton hated being treated like he couldn’t take care of himself so he lets him have independence first, and when he does offer help makes it clear it’s not because he doesn’t think Patton is capable, but because he just likes to help - Picks up on the fact that Logan shoves aside his own needs and wants to put the others first, so he makes it his mission to give Lo gentle reminders to take care of himself, steps in when he gets too stressed and gets him to relax, and encourages him to indulge in the little pleasures he otherwise wouldn’t. - Before the boys move in with him, Thomas doesn’t cook a lot, he doesn’t really know how and with his schedule and school there wasn’t always a lot of time, but when he takes them in he makes an effort to start cooking more, and although it’s a bit of a disaster at first with the help of Logan (who treats cooking like a science), between the two of them they manage to figure it out and soon it becomes pretty rare that they set off the fire alarm - Patton teaches Thomas how to bake!! It’s really cute, and it’s one of the ways they bond from the very beginning. - Thomas is open from the start with the boys that this is just as much of a learning experience for him as it is for them, all of them are in this boat together trying to figure out how it works and the best way to go about things, they might make mistakes but it was okay because none of them were perfect - Still, Thomas always gets upset with himself every time he says/does something that sets back the progress he’s made with the boys. He tries not to let them see that though because he doesn’t want them to blame themselves. - Loves his boys from the moment he meets them, lowkey wants to adopt them after a few weeks but like is too scared to bring it up because he doesn’t want to scare them off - The Best Dad - A Hufflepuff through and through

Note
I saw your asks and was confused as well on this part, Soo Ho was looking for the dead drop for money and weapons in mount ogong right (did they put it there on the first place?), was it around the dorms area? I too never thought he would actually see her intentionally before the note, I even rewatched it and right after he read the note police are closing in on him and ran away to the secret passage to escape so I got confused when Young Ro asks him if he go to the dorm because of the note.
Also in the next episodes preview where NK and Sk never intends to save the spies and hostages lives in the first place, how on earth is it ever planned in the first place when all of it seems to have happened because of unfortunate/unintentional events like Prof Han freaking out in the boat resulting to the shootout or Soo Ho going to the dorms.
Also, Soo Ho's father laughed when an agent told him his associate agreed on killing all the spies, why do you think that is?
The doctor plot twist confused me a little because how did she know she would be the doctor to get called to treat the spies and hostages and that there would even be injuries to treat, she couldn't have known there would be a hostage situation but she said that she is in SK to help the spies get ouf of there safely and she's in a hospital when her lover called her? Thanks so much!
Hey hey hey! Thanks for the ask! ❤️
Yea in my previous ask, I was gonna write that I thought he went there to pick up things from the bunker they had over there. But then I wasn’t sure if I remembered correctly, so now that you say it too, it means I was right😂. But even that I think they played it as if it’s an excuse he gives so he can go there one last time and see her? Like yea I’m gonna go pick those up, but in reality it’s because of her. Cause in the NK mission meeting he was like “you guys go first, I’ll join later”, and the other NK dude looked at him funny. And he had that whole music/headphones scene too, before that. And that too was played as if he missed her or something. So I think we’re meant to think he used the bunker and the pick up as a good excuse to go see her. Because that is what the show is going by. The last scene in episode 7 confirmed it. He was, in one way or another, there to see her. Which is why he froze and looked at her. Of course he’s gonna deny it, and play it off, but that look was a confirmation for the audience. The note is there to make their feelings be mutual 😂. But yea, now that two people have mentioned it, it is confusing 😂
And about the whole mess, yea that was absolutely not planned. 😂 The plan wasn’t to take hostages, or go to the dorm, or have the shoot out in the ship and have her brother killed. They wanted the professor alive, not dead. In fact, the SK government was the one who wanted the professor dead (or am I remembering wrong?). Cause they legit smashed the car he was in with a truck, and didn’t really care if he died or lived. So that too, if I remember correctly, was not their plan. The only thing I can think of is it maybe being the NK and SK government’s plan, that the spies are not in on. So yea, none of this mess was planned, which is the unfortunate part.
As for the sooho’s dad, he wants him dead. My impression was that he played theatrics so they don’t go up to him later and question his parenting. He acted like a concerned father, knowing full well what the secretary (?) will do. So my impression is that soohoo’s dad wants to make a martyr out of his son, make him some sort of fallen political hero back home, so he can use that as a benefit to further his own agenda. That’s what I got out that.
The doctor…. Yea I’m very suspicious and confused by her. She’s veryyyy shady. I don’t thing she will be on the same team as her fellow spies either, I think sooooo probably would go against her, as it was hinted. Maybe she is her own instructions from NK, and she’s the one who knows what’s actually up. Maybe she has been instructed by NK to kill the spies (and the students?), and that’s why she went in. She is very odd, and I don’t think anyone should trust her.

Another good example of how easy it is to be a TumblrFeminist/SJW
When it comes to TumblrFeminists and SJWs henceforth called Radical Offendables (RO), they love to take their own Personal Uncomfortabilities (PU), and apply blame and shame to people they don’t like, then claim it’s basically an epidemic no one acknowledges, for some agenda pushing reason they believe exists but doesn’t, like lizard people.
An Example of Personal Uncomfortabieness;
This is my PU, for some reason, I think making a joke that entails the following:
“It’s like if his mom was the incredible hulk”
I find that worse to say than
“It’s like his dad is the incredible hulk”
Not because I associate it with my family that I hate, but because if I’m talking about someone else’s parents, I find it more likely for them to be offended at me saying their mother instead of their father, even if there’s no logical reason or negative connotation behind it, and realistically they won’t care at all, and see no issue with it, (because they’re an individual who lives by their own ideology, and not some shit on tumblr.)
Now an RO, would take this PU and make it a Sex issue, a conditioning issue.
“It’s because men think women can’t have male attributes”
or
“It’s because men think women can’t be involved in jokes”
When in reality, it’s only a PU, it’s personal to you, person to person, just because you find a problem with it, doesn’t mean the entire fucking world has to, and your reasoning behind it only makes people depressed that you exist, and don’t put any level of effort or thought into your actions and thought processes.
When I say it’s easy to be a Radical Offendable, I mean it’s easy because they’re too lazy to be anything but unintelligent, irrational, and too stupid to realize the cult they’re following is only interested in pushing their own sexist and horrible agenda, and literally ANYONE who is in the way is immediately their enemy, and they will attack, threaten, insult, belittle, and harass till they, AT LEAST attempt suicide, hell, an apology doesn’t even work when it does with normal rational people.
The sad part is, they’ve no clue the cult they’re in isn’t for them. Never was.
It was some idiot venting about petty shit nobody who’s mature or rational would give a second of thought towards:
Manspreading, stare rape, pronouns, most “sex issues” they aren’t real, they’re personal annoyances someone labeled as an “epidemic” like a crazy conspiracy theorist.
But hey, at least Lizard people exist. 
And if you disagree I’ll insult you with no evidence, no understandable point, no cohesion to what I’m following and presenting, and absolutely nothing constructive or reasonable to be gained. 
Like what a crazy person would do, like someone who doesn’t know what they’re defending/standing for would do, like someone who didn’t think anything through would do. Like someone acting on emotion and not intelligence would do.

The Dinner - Part Two [RO]
“You really don’t need to rent a car.” Levi hampered as he bullishly insisted on carrying all the bags by himself. “How would I get to and from your house every day?” She reminded him as they wove their way through the single terminal airport.
“You’d stay at my house.” He tried not to let on how heavy the bags were getting. “I told you, I don’t want to make your mom uncomfortable.” “She’s not.” Levi retorted. Stella rolled her eyes. “You stayed before. She didn’t mind.” He insisted. “We weren’t having sex then, and something tells me she knew that.” Stella reminded him.
Levi had no choice but to drop the subject there, because she was right, and it was his fault. His mother wouldn’t know they slept together if he hadn’t told her. He couldn’t help it. He loved his mother. He told her everything important in his life. He remembered the conversation so clearly.
Stella had just left after her first visit last summer and he’d felt like a piece of him was missing. It was all he could do to get out of bed every morning. Those first few days with her gone, every move felt like walking through mud. Even colors looked duller to him.
His mother noticed, and the fourth day after Stella left, Helen got up early and made her son pancakes. That had always been the only food that could get him to eat breakfast sitting down. She made Matt take the other boys out for the morning, before Levi woke up.
He knew from the moment he came down and saw pancakes in an empty house that she wanted to talk about something serious. The anniversary of his father’s death was coming up and he wondered if she was finally ready to discuss it. It was as much a relief as a disappointment when that wasn’t what she had in mind.
He’d barely taken three bites before she’d said “You’ve seemed down since Stella left. Did things go that badly or did they go that well?” He didn’t consciously decide to tell her. It hadn’t occurred to him that they’d talk about it. No one had talked to him about relationships, let alone sex, besides abstinence educators in church and the gym teacher for about thirty minutes his freshman year of high school.
But he’d wanted to talk to someone about what happened. He couldn’t tell his friends, because they didn’t know he had been a virgin before Stella. He couldn’t tell his stepdad because he’d both think it was a horrible sin to have slept with a girl out of wedlock and that Levi was a prude for not doing it sooner if he was going to do it. He could talk to Stella about almost anything, but for something like this, she wasn’t the same as someone older and more experienced.
Staring at his half-eaten pancakes, lost in thought, he didn’t notice his mom sit down across from him. “Lee, whatever’s on your mind, you can tell me. It’ll stay right here between us.” She hadn’t always meant that in the past. “Promise?” “Promise.”
Helen was completely unprepared for what her son was going to tell her. The way he’d been moping around, she figured he and Stella must’ve had a fight. She almost choked when her baby boy, dipping pieces of pancake in his milk like when he still had to sit on a phonebook to reach the table, mumbled, “We had sex.”
She tried to bite back her surprise and mask the wall of emotion that came over her. She’d never considered that Levi was having those thoughts. Then she felt naive for thinking her strong, healthy son would reach 19 without them. She would never be able to help but still see him as a little boy.
He’d had other girlfriends before Stella, all from high school, but Helen had seen how he moved around them. She could tell they were strangers to one another physically. She’d thought he’d acted the same way with Stella. Did that mean he’d been sleeping with all his girlfriends? Oh God, but he was only 15 when he started dating. Did that mean...
“Was she your first?” Helen asked, holding her breath. “Yah.” Levi replied quietly, shrinking back as the reality of the conversation sank in. Helen was just so relieved he’d waited at least a little longer than 15 that she didn’t even stop to think about the moral implications of what he’d told her. Besides, she knew a Bible study wasn’t what her son needed right then.
“When did it happen?” She asked, smiling to herself at the confirmation that at least he’d had a real first time and not just a meaningless hook up at some party. “The last night she was here. Right before I took her to the airport.” Oh good, Helen thought to herself, she wasn’t wrong when she’d assumed they weren’t sleeping together at first. “How are you feeling about it?” She asked, sincerely.
Those were the magic words Levi had been waiting to hear. Days and days worth of anxiety, confusion, and self-doubt poured out. She listened intently, offering what reassurances and clichés she could drum up when it felt appropriate. She had a feeling listening would mean more to him than anything she might say.
“Whose idea was it?” She asked, trying to get a better sense of whether her son was maturing or his girlfriend was a whore. “Neither of us. Well, both of us. I don’t know. She said it first, but I think it was just because she could tell I’d been trying to say it without pressuring her.” Levi muttered, too embarrassed to make eye contact with his mother.
Helen winced and grinned simultaneously. She didn’t want it to be Stella’s idea, but she definitely didn’t want it to be her little boy’s idea. She began to see him in a completely different light.
“So, in hindsight, was it the right time?” She asked. “Are you mad?” Levi countered, trying to determine if this was her agenda to lead him into a discussion of original sin. “No, no Levi.” She wasn’t actually sure whether or not she was mad, but she knew she wasn’t mad at him. “I just want to understand why you’ve seemed out of sorts the last few days.”
Helen refilled his milk glass. Levi sighed. “It was the right time. It was the exact right time. I just... I miss her.” She didn’t realize it then, but that got under her skin. She only saw her son a few weeks a year, and he was spending his time home with the family pining for some girl? Who’d only just been there? She’d liked Stella fine until that conversation. Now, not only was she eating into his time with the family, but she was degrading his innocence.
So, with that conversation in mind, Levi couldn’t act surprised when his mom had sent him a list of local hotels shortly after he’d announced Stella’s planned visit, leaving no room for discussion. He worried his stepdad would infer from the nature of the “meet my girlfriend” request that their relationship had moved to the next level, but he didn’t seem to notice.
In actuality, because Levi had called about this in October, his stepdad had only said yes to the visit at all under the assumption that they’d be broken up by December. Matt couldn’t help but feel as though by defying this arbitrary expectation, Levi had intentionally disobeyed him in some way. That was the start of his dislike for Stella.
Levi had wanted her to stay in the house so she could get to know everyone as well as possible. But when they went by the hotel to get Stella checked in and ditch her bags, they stopped in the room and got handsy. All of a sudden Levi wasn’t as bothered by the idea of Stella staying in a hotel 15 miles away instead of three feet from his parents and younger brothers.
As they drove towards the house, Stella’s mind raced with all the things Levi did and didn’t want her to do. It was the first time since they had planned the trip that she felt nervous. In contrast, it was the first time since they’d planned the trip that Levi wasn’t nervous. He was too excited to be. He hadn’t had the money to fly home for Thanksgiving, so this would be the first time he’d seen his family in four months. And, hopefully, it would be the last time he’d ever have to worry about them making a good impression on Stella and vice versa.
He was too excited to notice that Stella was on edge, and by the time he’d tuned back into her emotions, she had become too enraptured by the changing scenery to care about the upcoming evening. The land around the airport had been pretty dry, flat, and unremarkable, but the further they got towards Everbrook, the lusher and more mountainous the terrain became.
It was as though the commanding purple and coal colored mountains sprung up out of nowhere, emerging from the mist with shocking streaks of wildflowers and bleary snowcaps dashed with jagged peaks.
“Oh my God! Did you see that! Oh my God, that’s the coolest thing ever, oh my God!” Stella gushed, pointing out the window in untainted awe. Levi had no idea what she could possibly be talking about, the road to his house looked the same as it always had. “What?” Levi asked, “I didn’t see it.” “The horses!” Stella gasped. “Just running around, just, like, all by themselves! Like in a Disney movie!” She gasped.
Levi laughed. Wild horses were practically as common here as pigeons were back at school. Stella hadn’t realized how little she’d appreciated the flora and fauna last time she came out. Her relationship with Levi had been so new at that time that she was too preoccupied with who was around her to appreciate what was around her.
Before she knew it, they had pulled up to Levi’s house. It was modest construction, but more than enough space for his family of seven, and the only residence for two square miles around. He rushed to open her door before she tried to get out herself. He’d be damned if he’d let his stepfather see that.
Matt might not technically be blood, and since his biological father remained in his life until he died last year, Levi would always have to differentiate Matt as a stepfather, but anyone who him well knew who’d raised him. It certainly wasn’t the man he called “Dad.”
Before Levi could get halfway to the front door, his brothers clambered out of the house and took him to the ground, piling on top of him in a mix of punches and kisses. Reese, the oldest, tallest, and strongest at 12, was also the sweetest and easily the most emotional at Levi’s return. Tyson, 10, was the roughest of the pack, with enough energy to compensate for the muscle that hadn’t quite packed onto him yet. Silas, 7, was fragile and sincere with the hair of a sheepdog and the heart to match. He only had kisses for the brother he hadn’t seen in so long. Kyle, the 5 year old youngest, was a firecracker of chaos. You could see the wheels turning behind his eyes, analyzing everything that passed him by. He was as happy to see Levi as anybody, but his attention quickly turned to Stella.
“Hi, Stella.” Kyle said, extending his hand to shake. Stella took it without hesitation, not only because she had an equally deep respect for people whether they were five or fifty, but also because she understood that while it was important for the parents to like her, it was imperative for the brothers to. Which is why she didn’t say anything about Kyle’s hand being covered in glue. But she didn’t have to, Levi could see panic in her eyes and put two and two together.
“Hey, come here.” He said, grabbing Kyle’s hand and spotting the glue immediately. “You didn’t.” He said in disbelief. What he hadn’t told his brothers was that Stella disliking sticky textures wasn’t a pet peeve; it was a side effect of her clinical OCD. He didn’t think that was anyone’s business, so he hadn’t shared the full story with the guys.
He wanted to believe that they’d intended it to be a harmless prank on what they perceived to be his fancy high maintenance girlfriend, so instead of blowing up at them, he focused on extricating Stella from the situation before she completely melted down. There was plenty of time for him to blow up later, after she left.
