Roman yawned, standing up from his bed and making his way to his mirror. He frowned at his reflection, pulling at the bags under his eyes. It was exhausting shifting day after day, trying to be perfect.

Roman sighed and started fixing his little imperfections. Narrowing his nose, lightening his eyes, closing the small gap between his front teeth. He hid his bags and freckles, making sure his skin was smooth. Roman shortened himself to just above average hight instead of being six feet tall.

Someone knocked on his door, "Kiddo? I made breakfast if you want any."

"Alright Patt." Roman sighed.

Food would be good. Roman opened his door and ran straight into Patton.

"Oof!"

Patton tripped and nearly fell back. Roman caught him and pulled him to his chest. Patton's face flushed bright red.

If Roman was being honest, Patton was quite the cutie. From his curly, dark blonde hair to his adorable smile, Roman was quite find of Patton.

Roman gave him a dazzling smile, "good morning."

Patton flushed harder, stumbling over his words, "Ro! I-uh-um, we sould- I should-um, breakfast! There's... breakfast, um, ready."

Roman chuckled lightly, kissing the back of Patton's hand, "if you made it, I'm sure it will be heavenly."

Patton giggled breathlessly as Roman made his way to the kitchen. Roman saw four plates on the counter. The shapeshifter took a plate and loaded it up with pancakes, bacon, eggs, and fruit.

Patton came out a short while later, grabbing his food and sitting next to Roman. Roman noticed that Patton only ate the fruit and pancakes. The shapeshifter shrugged it off. Not his place to judge others. Especially if the other is cute.

Roman winked at Patton, who nearly choked on his food. The shapeshifter laughed as Patton blushed, also letting out a small laugh. Perhaps living here will be fun after all.
