Roman and Rich hanging out together for Valentine's Day. Totally avoiding all kinds of canon because why not? Also the ships here are RomanxBlake and RichxPatterson. If you don't like the pairings, I'm sorry but I do so..... Here we go.
"Happy singles awareness day! " Rich had been complaining non-stop about the upcoming holiday for the past week. "You know Roman, for us to be two da*n good looking guys we somehow are the only ones who are single. I mean how is that even possible? "
"Out of everyone I figured you would be the one who would be least concerned over being single. I don't know, I just kind of got the feeling that you were the type to feel as though a relationship, open or not, would tie you down. " Roman had only known Rich for a couple months but they had become pretty close, which is why they decided to wallow together on this unforgivingly unsweet holiday.
"Look I'm gonna tell you something that no one knows so don't tell anyone. " Rich leaned in. "I'm a HUGE romantic. I don't know why but I am, I mean I've basically watched like every single romantic comedy there is. So whenever I have a "crush" I immediately start to imagine rom-com type scenarios with them to decide if I really like them or not. "
"That's surprisingly cute actually. Wait who's your crush? "
"It's not important, she doesn't like me anyways. "
" Same. Who needs women? "
They sat and drank for a total of thirty minutes before the shenanigans started.

"YoU KnOW WHaT? " A little more than a little tipsy Roman was a lot more outspoken then normal Roman. Rich silently noted that Roman has a sort of Aussie accent when he's tipsy.
"We need to throw caution to the wind, man the f*ck up and motherf*cking call our women and declare they're ours! "
"You know what? You're right! LET'S DO THIS! "
"Wait what? No fairrrrrrrr. "
Rich pulled out his phone and dialed Patterson's number, Roman was slightly confused when Rich was calling a woman named Peppermint Patty but he figured he would let him live his life how he wanted.
"I may be the dumbest genius or smartest idiot you know, also a little tipsy, but I know one thing. I want you, and I know that you have had bad relationships in the past but I swear I'm not a mole or dead! And I just really really really really really really really really like you, so I'm taking you out. "
"Rich I'm an FBI agent, do you really think I wouldn't be able to pick up on your behavior towards me? Now I'm going to be honest I have never thought of you as a romantic partner but I'm willing to go out with you to see where this could go. Also I consider you more of a smartest idiot than dumbest genius by the way."
Rich could hear the smile in her voice within the last sentences and he smiled himself. Both of them giggling from excitement; Rich hung up. It was officially Roman's turn!
"Aw sh*t why did I sign up for this? Dang it. Oh crap I'm scared. Ok I'm dialing. Sh*t! "
His flustered nature was the most adorable thing Rich had ever seen.
He was doing it, he was calling Blake Crawford.
"I really like you a lot. And I jus- oh sorry hello. " Roman was overtly flustered for a man, especially that man being himself.
"So look I really like you and I want to spend Valentine's with you and the day after with you and the day after until the end of time, because I just really freaking like you. And I'm not taking no for an answer." Roman mirrored an earlier conversation with Blake in the last sentence just to show her that he listens.
"Well this is good news because I really like you too! Umm... Can you pick me up at seven? "
"Yes I definitely can. " Roman, thinking he put his phone on mute engages Rich in a high five, multiple (uncomfortable) chest bumps, and non stop whooping. Blake hears it all and starts to giggle, then hangs up, she would be sure to tease him about it later. And tease him for some other reasons too.
"Well Roro Rolo we did it."
"Not too bad for a couple of 'da*n good looking guys' huh? "
"I guess not. " They smiled at each other.
"Also never call me Roro Rolo again. "
