Roman walked with his brother around the aisles of the shopping centre, he wanted food but instead was being dragged around.

Roman was so bored, he saw Virgil holding a burger and fries... he literally bounced up to him "Virgil, can I have some of your food?" He pleaded.

"Why?" Virgil asked him.

"Please... I'll do something embarrassing right here. I'm so hungry..." Roman begged.

"Ok, act like a gentleman." Virgil said laughing.

"I'm already a gentleman." He said, but reluctantly got ready to use his posh accent.

A small crowd had gathered, watching them now and a small boy with wicked snake makeup caught his eye.

Roman did his performance, Virgil laughing the whole time and at the end he kissed Virgil's hand. That was the moment the snake boy stopped looking at him and turned to walk away.

"Wait." Roman called out to him.

"Why? What do you want?" The boy spat, almost crying.

"I want to get to know you, don't leave."

"I see you every time I come here, I got my hopes up. I never thought you were taken." The boy confessed.

"I'm not taken..." Roman said desperately

"But you?" The boy was suspicious.

"All part of the act." Roman smiled sweetly at him.

"You really are a performance nerd." He said, smiling a bit.

"Yeah, what's your name?" Roman asked him.

"You can call me Dece." He spoke.

"Ok, I'm Roman." Roman said holding out his hand.
