*Patton pov*

It was an average day so far. But it had yet to begun! Begin. Be....Start.

I was on my way to school. Buy I had to pick up my son first. And yes, hes my son and I don't care what anyone says. Hes my special bean.

I walked up to his house and knocked on it like normal. "Virgil. Up and at em!" I said cheerfully.

The door opened and Virgil stuck his head out. "....is it a school day?" I nodded,smiling.

He closed the door.

"Virg!" I whined.

I heard a chuckle and he opened the door. "Fine. Im coming." He said. He wore his usual stitched hoodie and black skinny jeans. He had on his white foundation and black eyeshadow under his eye..

Yes, this is my bean.

Hurt him and ill physically fight you.

We walked across the feont yard and walked down the side walk together. I made some dad jokes and he snickered at them.

"Why cant seagulls fly over the bay?" I ask him.

He shakes his head, a smile on his face. "Why?"

"Cause then they'd be....bagels!" I crack up laughing.

Virgil snorts and laughs. That makes me smile. He rarely laughs.

Were at school in no time and we both freeze up. Virgil gets really bad anxiety at school. Some mean ol bullies like to pick on him.

Of course when I'm there they never try to hurt him.

I'm somewhat weird myself here. No one would dare bully me though. Everyone thinks I'm weird from being so happy so often.

I'm not really bullied, just stared at a lot. A few stray whispers here and there but nothing too bad. I can shake them all off anyway.

I take Virgils hand and squeeze it reassuringly. "Its ok. One class period at a time." I remind him. Virgil gulped and nodded.

School is empty like normal. Were not a big school. Its mainly a special school. O dont know the official term but its for people that have a great talent and focus on it. I have another friend named Logan who is so smart! He can read a book and memorize all the knowledge in it!

Virgil is here for art. He can draw and paint super realistically!!!

Is that a word?

Make mental note: Ask Logan is realistically is word.

Me? I'm in for arts too but...I'm in for dance. They have an amazing dance program here. I dont really have a 'style'. I just mimic what I see and put my own flair in it.

This school does offer normal classes like science and math. But after lunch, you spend the rest of the day in your gifted electives. So after lunch I get to dance all day!

We walk in and there's Logan,looking at the display case for trophies. Most are athletics but there's a few about knowledge and one or two in art.
"Hey lo!" I call out,smiling. He looks over. "Salutations Patton. Virgil."

I walk over,taking (read: draggin) Virgil with me. "Whatcha lookin at?" He pointed to am empty area. "Apparently we arw to get a new award soon."

"Oohhh! Wonder what its about?" I asked.

"Its for Drama." A voice from from behind us. And we knew that voice anywhere.

"Salutations Roman." Logan said,turning to see him. I turned as well,and felt virgil shuffle behind me.

See on this school, the drama kids are like the jocks essentially. They're not very nice. Roman is tho. Hes fffiiinnneee.

.....

Ok I got a small crush but ITS NO BIGGY!!!

.....

Its a mediumy.

I looked to face him and- oh god the blush. Theblushtheblushtheblush!!!!

Everyone in this school KNEW. Roman was hott with 2 t's. He came out as gay a year ago, a little after I got here, so although most girls were disappointed, a few guys thought they'd have a shot.

I hadnt realized id been staring until I realized he was talking to me.

*Roman pov*

"So how's your dance routine patton?". I asked him. Or tried too. He was looking at me but dazong off. "Uh...patton?" He jumped,snapping out of it. "Yes?" I gave a small chuckle. "I asked how you dance routine was faring." Pattom seemed to get more red. "Uh its-its doing uh....its going well." Patton mumbled.

"ROMAN!"I turn and its my drama friend, Damien. (The slimy Snek boi) Damien walkes over,putting his arm on my shoulder. "Why you talking to him again?" He asked,nodding at Patton.

I gently push Damiens arm off. "Science class. You know Dr. Emile pairs people who are good with people who are bad. I have a feeling ill get paired with patton." I say.

Damien let out a 'oof'. "Tough break buddy. He's...weird." He said, looking at Patton. Patton was looking back with a smile. "Being weird is fun! Normal is boring." He said and Virgil murmured something. "Gotta go. See yas!" And patton left with Virgil. Logan just kinda walkes away after that.

Damien was silent for a bit. "...do you like him?" "Who?" I turned to him. "Patton." I scoffed. "Of course not."

Oh how a fool I was.

To lie to Damien. He finds out everything sooner or later. Its ok Roman. Just breathe and keep up the act.

I look at the schedule. Sometimes the schedule changes and- "Drama students will report to another class given at lunch."

Damien groaned. "This is gonna suck!"

I scoffed. "It cant be too bad. Its one day. Nothing too eventful can happen in one day."

Fools wrong number two.

I did my normal classes. English first. Personal favorite, as its closest to plays. I shared classes with Logan here. He reads blandly, but pronounces everything correctly. So that's a plus. Most can't anymore.

Next is math. I have Virgil in there. He dosent say anythint tho. He mainly sleeps in class. But somehow! He turns his work in on time and gets good grades! So the teachers let him! Again,uneventful.

Last before lunch was science. Patton was in there. Everyone was whispering and looking at him. I was guilty as well. Looking at least. He wrote plenty of notes and drew in the margin of his notes. From what I could see,it was a bunch of dog and cat emojis.

"Ok kids. Pick a partner." The teacher said. I looked up at Mr. Remy. He had....something on the board. I honestly dont know. I prepared myself mentally for the bombard of people.

"Hey Roman!"
"Roman what's up?"
"Wanna work together roro?"
"Can I have some help?"

The last voice was more timid than the others. I had closed my eyes but opened them and saw-

"Patton?"

Patton nodded. "I need some help on this subject and yoyre doing good in it. Can I have a little help?" He asked.

I gave a small smirk and nodded. The people around groaned bit moved on.

Patton sat down beside him. Roman didn't say anything. Patton held up his notebook to him. "This is what I understand so far.

I'm sorry to come up so suddenly but you looked terrified with everyone swarming you. It wont affect your reputation any,dont worry.'

Roman looked over it, a neutral face. "Ok. But you forgot something. Here." He took a pencil and wrote.

' Its fine. Thank you Patton. You helped me out.'

Patton looked over it and smiled. "Oh I get it now!" He exclaimed. "Now lets actually get to the project because there is actually a lot I Don't know." Patton said quietly.

Roman groaned. "Were both dead."

*time skip*

The project would take up to a week,so when the pinch bell rung, Roman cried out in salvation and got up, leaving for lunch. He looked over and saw patton heading the opposite way.

"You coming?" A kid asked him.

Roman turned and nodded,holding up a finger. "In a sec." He said and followed Patton.

Where ever patton was going, it way a ways away. Roman didn't hide

Roman followed Patton to the dance room. Dance? This was his elective? I mean,Roman could see it but he couldn't. Patton was shy and didn't talk or do much, but his enthusiasm made up for him. But Roman could imagine him dancing. Twirling and shimming and shaking his-

WHOA ROMAN HOLD ON!!!

He shook his head a bit. Patton took off his cardigan and folded it up carefully before putting it up. He went over to the CD player and pressed start, moving to the center of the room and staying put.

The music turned on. It was classical ballet. Roman recognized it from one of his performances. Patton posed and began to dance. To say Roman was shooketh was an understatement. Patton moved flawlessly and gracefully, moving across the room like it was air.

Roman watched in awe until the music was off. Parron was panting and sweating a bit. He moved over to grab a drink of water as ballroom music played.

Roman was surprised to see Patton check his phone. Would he not dance to it? Or is it....is it becuase he needs a partner?

Roman didnt really plan this out or knew what he was doing,but he walekd in,startling Patton. "R-Roman! What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I could ask the same....is this why you never tell anyone your elective?" He asked. No one in school knew pattons elective. He kept it to himself.

Patton nodded. "I'm already an outcast by being weirdly happy all the time. Add inspiring dancer to it and ill be a freak." He chuckled.

Roman dropped his book bag.on a chair and walked over. "Screw what everyone else thinks. You should do what makes you happy. Only your opinion matters."

Patton looked up and smiled. "Really?" Roman grinned and his heart fluttered. "Really really."

The music again entered his mind. Roman smiled and bowed,holding out his hand. "May I have this dance?"

Patton giggled and held his hand. "Can you dance ballroom?"  Roman shrugged his shoulders. "Lets find out."

They moved slowly,side to side at first before moving around the room in circles. Patton was giggleing and smiling. Roman grinned and picked him up,spinning him in the air.

Patton squealed excitedly and leaned on him,giggling. Roman held him close and smiled,his heart fluttering.

"Pat?"

"Yes Roman?"

"I think you just danced into my heart." Roman said quietly.

Patton gasped. "Dad joke?!"

Roman grinned. "Only for you."

Patton smiked and went on his tippy toes,kissing him.

Roman held him close as they did,finally parting for air.

"Wow...." Patton said.

Roman grinned. "Its true...opposites do attract."

Again sorry these take so long to make. But I hope you like!
