Roman sat on the sofa in the living room, he was watching a TV show he had found rather interesting he really enjoyed the show and it gave him some more facts about the cartoons he had a soft spot for.
Around an hour later, patton had walked in and spotted roman sitting on the sofa
"Hey kiddo, what are you watching?" Patton asked, not bothering to look at the TV
Roman paused the tv and looked at patton, roman had a soft smile on his face and his eyes lit up as he started to speak "It's this documentary on cart-" but before roman could finish his sentence patton had walked away, Romans eyes dulled as he turned back to the TV and pressed play.
A couple of days later roman sat in his room reading a book that was recommended to him by his teacher, and he really enjoyed it, roman often had trouble reading as most of the books in this house were logans non fiction books which were usually about medicine or plants or biographys.
Halfway through his book, his sudden vision of a park filled with all sorts of flowers, with a picnic set in the center with the setting sun and the dotting of stars was broken...why well his annoying, disgusting twin had barged in.
Remus had seen what was in Romans' hands and snached it, grinning as he shouted, "yoink!" Remus shook the book and turned it upside down, while roman tried reaching out for it, but Remus was taller standing than roman who was sitting on his bed
"Remus, give it back!" Roman tried reaching for it again, but Remus smacked Romans' hand away when it got too close.
"What is this junk....it's gross and the words don't fall off the page and what is it about?" Remus threw the book on the floor behind him, not caring that it almost lanted in the bin
Roman rushed and grabbed his book, looking for his page,"the words went fall out the book. We dont live in a cartoon world!" Roman kept flicking to fond his page his eyes lit up as he remembered the plot and whatbhad happend prior in the book "and if you must know, it's a forbidden love story about a mortal and the son of the underworld and their relationship coul-"
"I didn't ask." Romans' eyes dulled as he heard his brothers words
"But you d-" once again, remus cut his brother off
"Toodles!" Remus skipped out of roman room looking for wherever his next victim may be.
Roman sighed and sat back on his bed. He eventually found his page, but he had lost the motivation to read and imagine the wonderful scenery. He placed a book mark on the page and gently closed the book, putting it on his bedside table.
This kept happening for weeks, someone would ask roman something but they all ignored him as he started to answer them.
One evening roman came downstairs to make something to eat, he had his headphones in and so he couldn't really hear anyone, janus walked into the kitchen followed by virgil who had a spider on his hand...his pet spider phoebe
Janus tapped Romans shoulder, roman turned around, paused his music, and took one earbud out
"Whatcha' listening too roman?" Virgil asked as he had heard the faint beats of music coming out from Romans headphones.
Roman eyes lit up slightly as he started to speak. "I'm listening to a playlist my friend recommended to me following the book I'm currently reading, which is about two forbid-"
Roman was cut off by janus whispering to the spider on virgils hand. "This is where roman chew our ears off for 3 hours."
Roman eyes dulled, and his picked up his plate and walked off without saying a word, not that they'd care. Roman got to his room. He placed his plate on his bedside table, and he then made sure remus wasn't lurking in the shadows before locking the door and sitting on his bed.
He wasn't hungry anymore. He didn't want to listen to his music anymore, he don't want to fantasise about the upcoming chapters in his book. It wasn't fair, roman would always sit and listen to everyone rant about their favourite food, shows, movies, music anything really...but when roman did it they all ignore him or dont care even when they ask He was sick of it. He only had 1 other friend who unfortunately was on the next book in the series but roman couldent talk to them much due to spoilers and they don't live close enough to go out to placed like a coffee shop to talk about the books or the music or the other things they had in common.
The people in roman house pretended like they were interested in what roman had to say....but they wouldn't let him get the first sentence out, Roman sighed and lay on his bed looking at his ceiling.
