Roman is a simple man with simple wants; the quiet of an early morning, the warmth of a cup of tea, and the name of a mysterious man who shows up every Tuesday with an order of  yellow daffodils and lilac snapdragons. Unfortunately for Roman, he himself is a depressed man with many issues that he'll need to come to terms with or otherwise find a way to resolve . Although he is not without help, and together with some friends, he may just come out of the other side with a bit of a brighter view of the world and perhaps a few new hopes.

You and Roman are at the same college. You don't really have an easy time opening up to people but you nevertheless thought that you had found a friend in Roman, only to learn otherwise as you overhear him telling his friends that he's the opinion of having fulfilled his dare of becoming friends with you to it fullest. Your world is crashing down as you had really thought that you could trust him. Please note that this story has 3 versions with 3 different outcomes. The beginning and middle of that story is always the same but since I have been asked to write a fluffy ending instead of the really angsty one as well, here's the different endings: angsty - no suicide (Version 1), completely angsty - suicide (Version 2) and fluffy happy end(Version 3)

And I'll hold your hand as we fall together." ~~~ Roman Indigo's life hasn't been on the upswing for quite some time. All of his friends abandoned him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and his mother threw him on the street after learning he dropped out of college. Having nowhere else to go, Roman is given a chance at a new life after moving in with his aunt, Mikayla. Being with a family who follows different customs than he's used to forces Roman out of his comfort zone. He has no choice except to adapt; but...maybe that's not such a bad thing.

The only thing more mysterious than a boy who doesn't say much is the boy who no one knows at all. ==> He sees me standing there on his doorstep. "What do you want?" he asks. I smile and chuckle to myself. "That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" He sighs as he pulls the door closed behind him and steps onto the porch. "Let's see, this is the first time you've shown up at my house in the four years I've known you, so I have to assume you want something. What makes me think that you wouldn't?" I shrug. "Maybe I think you're cute." He smiles. "Maybe you think I'm an idiot." I smile back. "Maybe you're right." ==> cover edited and made by me WARNING: use of foul language

Roman, I Love You by LiterateLovers
26 parts Complete Mature
~Completed~ "Why are you being so shy?" He whispered. "I've seen, kissed, tasted every inch of your body. There is nothing to hide." I averted my eyes feeling heat in my cheeks and hoping that he could not feel it under his fingers. He made a frustrated noise then ducked down and pressed a kiss to the base of my jaw. The fingers previously on my cheek were now tilting my head back. "Scarlett Summer," he said into my ear, "sometimes you are the most infuriating person I have ever met." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "God, why are you apologizing? It is me who should be sorry for all of the unspeakable thoughts in my mind pertaining to you. You know I was not kidding when I said I was a dominating person. I know you've experienced it first-hand. I'm too rough with you I know that. You're just so, so breakable." He whispered the last part in my ear with so much behind it. "Sometimes I think I want to break you. Just shatter you into tiny pieces." His voice was shaky as he made his confession. "Do it then." I challenged with guile, devoid of self-preservation. ********************************************************************************* Scarlett has got some issues to say the least. She lives her life in her past and she is always waiting to die. There are a few things she enjoys, like her family, but even they are a compilation of bad memories and sore spots of her past. Roman enters her life through her brother-in-law, and also ex-boyfriend, and forces just about everything to change. Love is the last she wanted. ********************************************************************************* There are some mature or triggering themes. Please be cautious and look at my tags to ensure that you are comfortable with the content. Much love xoxo -Lyse

With his brother's both having moved away for school, Caleb had the chance to learn more about Lucas than ever before. He didn't stop to think that that goes both ways, but maybe that's just what he needed. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him. --- Find out how Caleb slowly falls into to despair and love. Is that not an oxymoron? Which emotion is stronger? Seriously, it's a slow burn. Slow is in the title. *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes and mature subjects. Take care.*
