Ice Cream

Sometimes you love something so much that you are willing to be in pain for it. It gives you a purpose in life, so even if it harms you, you stay, you shouldn't, but you do anyway.  This is how Roman felt about ice cream.

He was lactose intolerant, and he knew they made lactose intolerant ice cream, but is wasn't the same as ice cream made with milk, even though everyone else said it tasted just the same, Roman was an ice cream expert and knew in his heart of hearts that it wasn't and could never be the same, so even though he was repeatedly told not to eat the ice cream made with milk. He did eat it.

That was probably the reason he was now lying in bed with a stomach ache. He knew he shouldn't have eaten the ice cream, and he knew that he should probably tell the others that he was sick, so they could help him out a little or at least know that he would be unavailable for a bit, but by now it was a point of pride, and he was also kinda scared that the others would be mad at him.

"Roman! Do you want to go to the park with us?" Patton asked, through the door to Roman's room that afternoon.

Roman groaned and replied, "No, I'm not in the mood today," before burying his head into his pillow.

Patton was concerned, to say the least. Usually, when Roman wasn't in the mood to go outside it meant that something was wrong. Patton hated when something was wrong with one of the others, so he made it his mission to find out what was wrong and how to fix it. 

Patton was deciding where to start his search when Anxiety came up to him and asked, "Hey, did you finish off the ice cream?" It was like a light bulb went off.

Patton raced back to Roman's room and walked in without even bothering to knock. "You ate the ice cream," It wasn't a question, but Roman still nodded. Patton sighed and said, "Ok, I'll get you some Advil and water. That should help with the pain," as he left the room.

When Patton came back and helped Roman get better, Roman told him, "Thanks, I'd honestly be lost without you," as he sat up on his bed to take the Advil and drink the water.

Patton just smiled and ruffled his hair before, replying "I have to go make dinner but give a shout if you need me, and when I'm done we'll watch Disney. How does that sound?"

Roman smiled and answered, "I'd love to,", but in his heart, he said, "I love you,"
