I'm not jealous! - Royality

Human AU. Roman is insanely jealous because people won't stop flirting at Patton, his boyfriend is just too cute and good hearted for his own good. For the prompt: "I'm not jealous! It's just... you're mine!"

-------------------------------------------

Roman knows his boyfriend - well, now fiance - is such a kind soul, so good hearted, and it doesn't hurt that he's drop dead gorgeous too. That's partially why he fell in love with Patton. So, it should be no surprise that other people flirt with him. Anywhere and anytime people find excuses to flirt with his fiance. And, yes, it bothers Roman to no end no matter how many times he denies it.

Currently Roman is watching as a middle aged single mother chats up his soon to be husband. Her hand that's not grasping her child's arm is twiddling her hair in such a flirtatious manner that makes him feel sick, and it probably makes Patton feel something similar if the look on his face is anything to go by. Roman is half caught between standing back and laughing from afar or approaching them.

He chooses the latter, moving up behind Patton and wrapping his arms around his waist. "Hey, love, who's this?" Roman says in such a sickeningly sweet manner that Patton tries his hardest not to laugh at it, and he responds as calmly as he can, "this is Kath, she's, um, a nurse." Roman nods along exaggeratingly so then turns to the woman, whose face has fallen slightly but a sly smile is still there, "wow a nurse, I love your name by the way."

Roman knows he's being a tad mean at this point but can't help himself, Patton will probably want to kill him later. "And you are?" Kath asks in a slight...snobbish manner that makes Roman hate her a little more if that is even possible. A wide smile grows on Roman's face, "how rude of me! I'm Roman, Patton's fiance," he responds, a genuine smile appearing towards the end, he doesn't think he'll even get sick of tell people he and Patton are together.

"Oh." Is all Kath says, she gives Roman a glare before waving goodbye to Patton and uttering promises of seeing him at a later date. As soon as the woman is out of sight Patton frees himself from Roman's grasp and hits him playfully, "Roman!" Patton hisses at him but Roman just grins cheekily in return. "Come on let's go, I don't want to bump into her again if I can help it," Patton says, taking Roman's hand in his own and leads him out of the shop.

It's a few minutes until Patton speaks up again, "you get jealous so easily babe." It sounds like an attempt at a scolding but Patton still seems so fond so Roman doesn't take it seriously. "I'm not jealous! It's just... you're mine!" Roman responds which earns him a light laugh from the other. Patton skips ahead slightly and turns in front of Roman, the street is pretty empty so he's not worried about holding people up; he grabs Roman by the shoulder and gives him a short, sweet kiss, then grabs his hand again and they continue walking.

They both know Patton is kind and attracts flirters. And they both know Roman gets insanely jealous but maybe they don't mind too much.
