Please let me know if I ever represent anything wrong, wether it is cultural, trans/gender related, or whatever else. Accurate representation is the most important thing ever to me and I want to represent people right.

Roman walked in through the door with his arms killing him. Unlike the first day of school, Power Lifting did an entire day dedicated to arms rather than doing some of all exercises. Since power lifting is a double blocked class, he has it for odd and even days; every day. From what he was told Mondays and Fridays are best of both words, Tuesdays and Thursdays are Arms, and Wednesdays are Legs. It's a weird schedule but that's how his coach wants it. You don't see Roman complaining. He wants big, strong arms! Roman dropped his even day bag next to the door, kicked off his shoes and peeled of his socks, and called outnto wherever Papá was in the house.

"Papá, ¡Estoy en Casa!"

He didn't get a call back from his Papá, nor did he run into the room to give him a bear hug like yesterday after school. Roman shrugge,d grabbing his phone and looking at his new list of contacts. Everyone from lunch today gave him their phone numbers and then he got Monika's from Natsuki. Virgil seemed really cool when they approached Roman, so he decided to open up a text chat with them to maybe talk. He would talk to Patton, but he said he's had stuff after school and he didn't wanna be a burden.

Roman: Yo, Virgil, it's Roman from before. You seemed really cool so o wondered if we could maybe talk for a bit? It's cool if you don't want to.

Roman had never heard his phone buzz so fast or saw someone's who replied so quickly. Maybe Virigl was already using their phone? Who knows. But it turns out Virigl is thst kind of tester who sends everything in seoersre messages really fast.

Virgil: Ya sure of course! 

Virgil: Jeez that was really fast I'm sorry if I creeped you out lololool

Virgil: That probably made it worse damn I'm so sorry.

Virgil: Wait shit I forgot to ask if you're cool with cuss words.

Virgil: Fuck I just made it worse man I'm so sorry dude I understand I feel you changed your mind about wanting to text me.

That's just a lot to unpack right there. Roman Sara down on the couch, scowling down and reading the barrage of messages sent to him in maybe five seconds. Roman was so happy though. Virigl was calling him 'dude' and 'man' and treating him like one of the guys. It's little stuff like that which makes him feel so valid and it's so great it make sure Roman very happy. Of course he'd want to keep texting Virgil! Maybe he should throw them back some of the 'dude bro speech' too. Wait, nvm. They said gender neutral stuff earlier.

Roman: Nah it's fine. I don't mind cussing, just don't do it myself because Papá hates it. I jus think thought you were really cool and composed earlier and I really wanna all to you. 

Virgil: Me? Composed? Ha, that's a laugh and a half. I'm the worst composed person ever with the worst social anxiety ever. Anyone who says theirs isn't worse can fight me because just typing this message is making my heart race and stomach flip.

Virgil: I just realized I did the "laugh and a half" thing and bro I'm so sorry my ex used to say that before he quote unquote moved away. I hate that guy.

Virgil: Wow that was so off topic man I'm sorry.

Roman: Hey no worries, it's cool. Honestly it sounds pretty funny to me. Laugh and a Half. It's just so... sassy!  I love it.
