001. patience / tolerance. roman has an anxious, anxious mind. he has a tendency to get wrapped up in his own thoughts. fabricates a context to fit his paranoia. as a result, he’s been super lonely for the past few years. when meeting someone new he will 10/10: catatrophize, judge, pick.. he’s the worst™ but god, he has such a big heart, and when someone can sit around, muster past the fact he’ll stutter and draw away a few times before he’s comfy, he’ll really, really appreciate it. being one of the most patient idiots since neville chamberlain, ro’s a damn fool for someone that is willing to stick him out. he knows he’s difficult and it shows they care.
002. be kind to/love animals! and ur mom if you can.. and everyone, ever. this is a little bit of a stretch, but ro’s a sucker for kind people in any degree. don’t like strangers? fine. don’t like your mom/dad? fine. bypass. he can deal. don’t say thank you to waiting staff? dismiss his cat if he stomps over for a cuddle? boi, you boutta get it. except not bc roman doesn’t like fighting. wtvr. just have manners and be nice to the damn cat and he might heart eyes from a distance. p.s. ro’s a mommy’s boy, but fuck dad’s.. but also.. fuck dad’s, ygm?
003. confidence. 👀 good feckin’ lord, this boy is weak af for someone that knows what, who, and how they want something/someone. it’s probably in line with, ‘date your opposite,’ because god knows he has no idea what the livin’ heck he’s up to. or who he likes. or how he’s meant to use the shit he’s got. or what he’ll be doing this evening (let alone the next few years). someone get this boy a life coach. anyway, confidence is sexy. this translates to both an independent mind/heart (someone who doesn’t give un petit fuck about what people think regarding looks, vibes, whatever) but also! during! sex! ro’s touch-starved and nervous. dick him down. thanks.
