TW: Legit a single cuss word.

"Wait, so you were the mysterious writer Blank Rose? No wonder I loved those stories so much!"

The, now engaged, couple sat in their favorite ice cream parlor, Frosticles. They were going on their first date in years, about a week after their friends' wedding. After helping Logan settle into their home, both decided it was time for the long-awaited date. Patton had helped Roman pick his outfit before he went with Virgil on their honeymoon. While Roman felt maybe he should have not put on a white shirt, he couldn't help but stare at Logan.

His eyes gleamed from behind his glasses, and the angle of sunlight that shone from outside hit his face perfectly. His shirt was ironed, the sleeves rolled up to reveal his forearms.

Gelled hair suits him.

"Will my prince tell his future king what has gotten him so distracted?"

Roman laughed, placing his hand over Logan's. "Just getting lost in your eyes, imagining a future with you."

Pink dusted Logan's cheeks and he coughed, looking away. "Well then, I suppose that is an acceptable reason."

A laugh escaped from the actor, causing Logan to look back at him and smile. Both of them had missed each other so, so much during the years.

Clunk

A plate of vanilla ice cream, various fruits topping it, was placed in the middle of the table.

"Don't worry, it's on the house."

Logan looked up at the server in surprise. "Remus? Is that you? Why, you look respectable!"

His mustache was neatly combed, along with his hair, and he wore little makeup other than to cover up some blemishes. He also seemed to have lost some weight in the past years, although he had gained muscle.

The server blew some hair out of his face and rolled his eyes. "Apparently it attracts more customers in. At least, that's what the owner says." His eyes darted to the ring on Roman's hand and he smirked. "So the rumors were true. You two tied the knot at Patton and Virgil's wedding? Way to steal their moment. Sad that I was sick that day, damn my luck."

"We are engaged, that is correct. I had the two's permission beforehand, so they were fine with it."

"But have you two fucked yet?"

"REMUS!"

Roman glared as his brother cackled. Logan could only shake his head, not surprised that the older twin hadn't changed a bit. The banter that the two exchanged felt nice to hear. Sure, Logan had made a few friends while studying, but it didn't feel like home. 

Possibly, spending time like this with Roman was the last puzzle piece.

"Remus Janus what did I tell you 20 minutes ago?!" 

 "Jesus, she is such a buzzkill. I can't spend a few minutes with my brother but she can spend her entire break flirting with her girlfriend." He fired finger guns at his brother. "See ya later bro! Enjoy the ice cream!"

Logan picked up a spoon, taking a scoop out of the vanilla. "Your brother's married as well? Who's the person?"

"People, actually," he popped a kiwi into his mouth, "Remy, Dolos, and Emile. It was surprisingly a quiet event. Remy and Remus kept it on the down-low, and they all took Dolos' last name. They had an entire argument apparently before they just pulled a name out of Dolos' bowler hat. Emile and Remy proposed a couple of years after you left." 

The vanilla and fruit were delicious. They saw more familiar faces, getting many congratulations on the engagement. As they watched other customers confess their feelings and be accepted, Logan's grip tightened around Roman's hand. Roman returned the grip, knowing what Logan was thinking.

"Let's take a picture here with everyone once Virgil and Patton come back. It'll be a great addition to the photo album."

"Of course, my king."

Giggles came as a boyfriend lifted his girlfriend and spun around with her. A sharp 'ding' was let out as the door opened. The ice cream parlor felt like it was floating, so many customers feeling joy.

Vanilla ice cream was a great way to have our date.
