Sniper runs up to his boyfriend.

Romeo turns around. "Hi." He smiles.

"Hi." Sniper smiles.

"Hi." Race appears.

"Hi." Albert appears across from Race and next to Sniper and Romeo.

Sniper and Romeo laugh, shoving the two boys aside.

Race and Albert laugh.

"How was selling?" Sniper asks Romeo, a grin on his face.

Sniper held part of the strap that went over his shoulder and held the pape bag in his hand, just playing with the strap.

"It was good." Romeo answers. "You seem happier than usual." He points out. "Did something happen?"

Sniper shrugs. "Nothing really, Mi Luz." He smiles at his boyfriend. "I'm just happy today."

"Well, I won't ever be mad at that." Romeo smiles. "I always want you to be happy. Then I get to see that cute smile light up your face." He winks.

Sniper blushes a bit.

Albert pretends to be holding Race like he was a boat.

"Smooth sailing, Romeo." Race salutes, as Albert carries him away.

Sniper and Romeo share a look, before they both laugh.

Sniper looks at Romeo, his eyes focused on something.

Romeo takes one look at him, before chuckling.

"Hat?" He asks.

"Mhm." Sniper nods softly.

Romeo chuckles, taking his hat off and placing it on Sniper's head.

It fell in front of Sniper's eyes.

Sniper and Romeo were near the same height, but Romeo maybe had a centimeter on Sniper, and he just liked big hats anyway.

(A/N, I know. Just go with it.)

Sniper giggles a bit, fixing the hat so it wasn't over his eyes.

Romeo pushes the hat back over his eyes with a laugh.

Sniper pouts. "Ro!" He exclaims, trying to fix the hat again.

Romeo pushes the hat back over his eyes.

Sniper tries to fix the hat again.

Romeo pushes it back over his eyes, chuckling softly.

"I hate you." Sniper states, pouting.

"No, you don't." Romeo responds with a smirk.

"No, I don't." Sniper agrees.

He turns bright red. "Romeo!" He exclaims. "Stop doing that!"

Romeo laughs. "What?" He asks. "It's not my fault you agree with me."

Sniper smacks his arm lightly. "I hate you." He states.

"No, you don't." Romeo responds, smirking again.

"No, I don't." Sniper nods.

"Ah!" Sniper turns bright red again, his hands covering his mouth. "Romeo Nico Derosa!"

"Dang, full name." They heard Albert mutter.

Romeo starts laughing harder.

"I dislike you intensely." Sniper mumbles, trying to process this.

"Yeah, you might." Romeo responds.

"No, I don't." Sniper responds.

Romeo starts laughing.

Sniper turns bright red again. "I swear!" He exclaims. "I was saying the opposite of what you were!"

"I know." Romeo breathes, continuing to laugh.

Sniper shakes his head, still bright red as he walks off.

Romeo was having a difficult time getting air into his lungs still.

Later

"Juliet!" Romeo yells up the stairs.

"I'm up here!" Sniper shouts back.

The boys downstairs start laughing.

Romeo walks up the stairs.

Sniper sat on his bunk.

Smalls and Boots had just gone downstairs, but before that, they had been hanging together.

Sniper looks up at Romeo. "Hi." He smiles.

"Hi." Romeo smiles.

"Hi!" Albert shouts from downstairs.

"Hi!" Race appears in the window.

Sniper and Romeo laugh again.

Romeo pushes Race back to the fire escape. "Adios, Racer." He waves.

"That's all you know in Spanish." Sniper points out, laughing softly.

"That's all I know in any language other than English." Romeo points out. "Other than 'shut up'. Race uses that in Italian quite often." He states.

Sniper and Romeo laugh.

"Sta 'zitto!" Race shouts from outside on the fire escape.

Sniper and Romeo start laughing.

"See," Romeo starts laughing harder. "He's proveded my point."

"Not a word." Sniper tells him. "It's 'he's proven my point'." He corrects.

Romeo rolls his eyes. "Every language is confusing." He comments, sitting on the bunk next to his boyfriend.

Sniper laughs. "I felt that." He agrees.

"I feel life." Romeo flops onto his back on the bunk. "It sometimes slaps almost harder than Snyder, but I like to kick back at it, like at Snyder."

Sniper frowns a bit, laying next to him.

He traces circles on Romeo's cheek. "I'm sorry." He whispers.

Romeo shrugs. "The idiot's in jail now." He laughs a bit. "You don't need to be sorry."

Sniper shrugs, laying on his back like Romeo was and staring at the bunk frame. "I still feel bad that I couldn't help you." He responds.

Romeo gets up, looking down at his boyfriend as he hovered over him. "Don't feel bad, lovey. I'd rather you have gotten out of there, then gotten hurt trying to help me." He reminds him. "Besides, I got out. We're all okay now."

Sniper nods, avoiding Romeo's eyes and looking at the bed frame above them.

"Love," Romeo whispers, tilting Sniper's head to look at him.

"Hi." Sniper's face broke into a smile.

Romeo smiles. "What's bothering you, lovey?" He whispers.

Sniper shrugs a bit. "Strike memories. Nothing terrible." He answers softly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Romeo asks, sitting down next to him again.

Sniper shrugs. "Your skin is soft." He whispers, turning a bit red.

Romeo got the hint and dropped the subject.

He smiles a bit. "Your hands are soft." He responds.

"We're not debating this again." Sniper tells him, pointing a finger at him. "Your hands are way softer."

Romeo chuckles. "I will do this again, love." He responds, smirking a bit.

"But I won't." Sniper responds, flipping onto his stomach and holding up his hands with his head.

Romeo smirks. "So then admit that I'm right." He states.

Sniper shoots him a glare. "No, because you're wrong." He tells him.

"No." Romeo chuckles. "You're wrong."

"No." Sniper states. "You're so wrong that I can't even process how wrong you are."

Romeo smirks at his boyfriend. "You sure you want to go down this road right now?" He questions.

Sniper was not as stubborn as Romeo by a long shot.

He wasn't very stubborn.

Romeo could be very stubborn.

Sniper purses his lips, thinking for a minute. "No..." he answers slowly.

"Then don't try that." Romeo tells him with a chuckle. "You know you wouldn't win."

"But sometimes you let me win." Sniper points out, laying back down on his back.

"What was the second word in that sentence?" Romeo questions, lifting Sniper's head up a bit.

"Sometimes..." Sniper trials off, frowning a bit.

"Exactly!" Romeo shoots his boyfriend a grin.

Sniper rolls his eyes, pouting slightly. "You can't let me win this one?" He asks.

"Nope." Romeo takes Sniper's hand and kisses his knuckle. "It's because I love you and you don't appreciate yourself enough."

"I'm not that bad!" Sniper defends himself.

"No," Romeo responds. "But I see you as a perfect Angel, and you don't see yourself like that yet, so I need to change it." He tells him.

Sniper blushes a bit. "Thanks Ro..." he mumbles.

"Aww," Romeo whispers. "Don't be embarrassed, love." He chuckles lightly. "I'm only speaking the truth."

Sniper hides his bright red face with his hands. "Well, the 'truth' is causing my face to have a reaction where it turns a color similar to an apple." He mutters.

Romeo chuckles. "You seem to not believe that it's the truth." He caresses Sniper's cheek softly. "Would I ever lie to you, love?"

Sniper shakes his head softly.

"Then why would I lie to you about this?" Romeo continues. "I love you. That's the way that I see you."

"But what if I can't live up to that standard?" Sniper whispers.

Romeo pulls Sniper to his lap.

He wraps his arms around Sniper and nuzzles his head in Sniper's neck. "It's not a standard, love," he starts.

"It's how I'll think of your regardless because you're beautiful, amazing, and perfect, and I love you."

Sniper blushes.

"Love you too, Ro."
