closed starter for @marcus-vega
there wasn’t a day that went by that roman didn’t think of marcus. not a single day. whether it was seeing a painting that reminded him of marcus or hoping for a birthday text, he was always on roman’s mind. it was pathetic, really. marcus broke up with him five years prior - in fucking high school. why was he still so hung up on the other man? or maybe not hung up - but... defeated. he’d resigned himself to the fact that he’d lost the love of his life and that was it. he’d spend his life bouncing from person to person, and never finding his home again.
for that reason, he was extremely nervous to see marcus again. he hasn’t really seen him at all since their break up - unless instagram stalking counted. or letter writing. he’d done his fair share of both - scrolling to follow his travels and writing never to be sent letters to the other man. when he noticed they’d be sharing a room, he didn’t know how to feel. it was a positive because it would force them to talk, but a negative for the same reason. so, roman opted to chill on his top bunk, writing quietly in his journal and waiting for the inevitable: marcus would eventually wander back in.
