Roman and Patton were on a date at a coffee shop. Patton was having an excellent time, and couldn't seem to stop smiling as Roman recounted the ridiculous stories of the high-school theatre. Patton was curled into Roman's burgundy hoodie, listening to a story of some sort of prop mishap, one hand holding his coffee and the other intertwined into Roman's, when a woman came over.

"Hello boys," she greeted. Patton excitedly smiled at her. Roman, on the other hand, seemed less excited. Patton couldn't understand why, but Patton had also not heard the slight malice in her voice. The way Roman was reacting, though, caused Patton to shrink slightly into the hoodie. Roman took notice of it, and rubbed the back of Patton's hand.

"I have to ask you to stop with your PDA. There are children in this room," the woman stated. Patton shrunk furthur, somewhat confused as to why this woman was having an issue. They were simply holding hands. This cafe was somewhat known for its lovey-dovey atmosphere. It was a popular first date location for high-school students. PDA was somewhat expected. Nonetheless, Patton tried to drop Roman's hand in order to make the woman happy.

Roman, on the other hand, held tight to Patton.

"Excuse you? There are three different couples making out as we speak, and the youngest child in this room is fourteen and currently making out. Why is it that you have a problem with us holding hands and enjoying ourselves in a manner not at all disturbing you?" Roman asked, already knowing the answer.

When given the opportunity, Roman loves messing with homophobes.

"Well, your lifestyle simply doesn't comply with my religion," the woman explained.

Patton then understood what was happening. He'd grown up in a very accepting environment. When he came out, his mom was relieved that she wouldn't have to worry about him getting anybody pregnant. But, he did know homophobia existed. His best friend, Logan, was still in the closet for safety reasons.

"Good thing ye' ole' America has freedom," Roman mocked, waving with the hand that wasn't clutched in Patton's.

"Freedom of religion, dear," the woman retorted. The scene must've been ridiculous to watch, Roman knew. A grown woman arguing with two sixteen-year-old kids was probably quite humorous.

"Freedom of expression, too," Roman muttered before leaning in and angrily kissing Patton. Patton could feel his boyfriend's frustration. He also heard the woman scoff in disbelief. How dare these two!

After the kiss ended, Roman turned back to the woman who looked furious. "Merry Bitchmas! Go off and complain to your sixteenth husband," Roman dismissed. Before the woman could argue back, Roman leaned in for a kiss again, causing the woman to huff and storm out of the cafe entirely.

God, Roman adored messing with homophobes.
