—————————————————————

Romeo had been in a relationship before.

He'd dated boys and girls, each one a different experience than the last. Some people didn't like him, or wanted to experiment. Some liked him too much or just couldn't accept him for being asexual. Plus, his mind was usually focused on someone else.

Specs was a great longtime friend. They'd helped Romeo through pretty much everything, from breaking up with someone to getting broken up with. In turn, Romeo would do his fair share to help, doing almost anything Specs asked; helping with fashion advice, taking care of other friends, or driving creeps away. There was even a time when he helped Specs by being a fake boyfriend. They were a power duo, at least Romeo thought so.

Overtime, after a while being alone, Romeo began to see Specs in a new light. Every detail about them seemed to shine, and he found himself wanting to know more than he already knew. Specs just lit up every room, and Romeo would sigh and smile whenever he saw them.

It took some self-reflection, and small period of trying to decipher liking someone romantically and just being lonely, Romeo admitted his feelings to Specs. Luck and universe seemed to be on his side that day, Specs also sharing feelings with him. Romeo must've squealed into his pillow for an hour that night before showing face again.

And no matter how happy he was with Specs, he couldn't help but compare everything they did with his past flings. For one, Specs did everything better. They asked question and liked Romeo for who he was. There was something about them, something Romeo liked a lot.

Secondly, Specs always seemed to listen to him. They knew what he was saying when other people assumed he was being dramatic. Even when Romeo jokingly flirted with their friends, Specs would just laugh or flirt with them while past partners got upset from jealousy. They didn't try to stifle Romeo's personality.

And through all of that, Romeo did have some questions. He knew Specs was very open and different from Katelyn and Joshua and Tyler and Zora and many others, but there were some things Romeo thought were odd. For example, he never found himself sitting at a table with a partner, discussing what they expect from a relationship.

"Well", he starts, nervous from the question. He kept staring at Specs, who was busy cleaning their glasses with the end of their shirt. "What do you expect?"

Specs placed their glasses on their face, glancing at the roof as they thought. Romeo nearly blushed at the small smile that grew on their face. "I guess I just want you to except me for who I am, you know? Like...God, that is a bit of a hard question."

Romeo liked that. He liked how Specs didn't make a hypothetical sentence. They used 'you' instead of 'someone'. That mattered a lot to Romeo, and it assured him that he was going to be with them for a long time, or planned to be.

Romeo chuckled, glancing away from Specs' glasses. He feared he become flustered if he stared at them any longer. "Yeah."

"I just want to feel as special to you as you do to me", Specs shrugs, chuckling. Romeo nodded, hanging on their words. "Like, I want to get butterflies and random stares and dancing in fields of flowers-"

"Where are we gonna find a field of flowers? We live in New York."

"Maybe we could take dates up state."
