Red, White & Royal Blue Stories

• First Time We Met • Romeo § Moreau § Henry •

The next part will be the dinner in England (with Moreau joining) and it will go into more depth about Harry (Philip & Martha's son) so stay tuned for it.

Also, if you read my other recently posted story 'Texting You' (it's not apart of this series) hopefully this will make up for the angst that ensued in that story.

"It wasn't my fault I got a detention!" Romeo had said for what must've been the fiftieth time.

Henry pursed his lips, gripping the steering wheel hard.

"Who's fault was it then, love?" He challenged. Romeo opened and closed his mouth, awkwardly playing with the buttons on the car's console.

"Uh... god's?"

Henry snorted, "I suppose that could be technically regarded as true"

"See! Not my fault" he said, grinning proudly. Henry rolled his eyes fondly. He loved his son almost too much.

Yesterday afternoon he had shuffled into their home awkwardly, quietly. Instantly he and Alex caught onto it and, fearing the worst, delicately asked him what was wrong.

He admitted he may have gotten frustrated with a teacher in his history class for insinuating absolute abhorrent conspiracy theories surrounding the royal family were true, he swore at him, cursed him out in front of the entire class and was sent to the principal's office immediately.

The principal saw his side to it, there was a long discussion taking up his entire lunch break, and it was settled that if Romeo attended after school detention tomorrow they wouldn't call his parents.

He knew they just didn't want to call his parents because, obviously, they'd be on his side.

He didn't mind admitting it to them, Alex almost called up the school but after Romeo insisted it was fine, that after school detentions weren't actually that bad (according to Anya) they both settled.

Henry pulled up into the school's parking lot, "stay safe, love, and call us if you want out early"

"I will, thanks dad" they leaned over, Henry kissing Romeo's cheek before he slid out the car, shut the door and hurried his way up to the building.

Henry watched him go, frowning. He would've preferred this detention didn't happen at all, but not wanting to cause Romeo hassle he didn't fight it.

However, he did rant to the others about it.

June and Bea found it outrageously unfair, Nora and Pez agreed but also noted how absolutely hilarious it was.

Romeo opened up the front doors and smiled towards reception, they peeked up over the counter and smiled back.

"Romeo! Hello! Why're you here?" They cocked their head, resting their chin on their palm. Spencer, the receptionist, was only twenty two with a kind personality and countless smiles towards anyone who passes by. They were non-binary and the only person (except Anya) outside of the family who knew he was trans.

His parents didn't know they knew. Romeo didn't think it was necessary to tell them right now.

"I have detention," he frowned, lazily resting on the counter. Spencer gasped.

"You? The golden boy? Whatever happened?" They asked, trying to sound sympathetic but Romeo knew they were all for gossip and drama. He smiled slightly.
