Prompt 6: Rain/snow

--

It had been no secret that Roman had fallen hard for Patton, well, except for Patton himself who had seemed to be none the wiser. Virgil had caught on almost immediately, giving him amused looks and teasing him about it constantly. Even Logan had realized after barely a week after Roman had realized what feelings he had for the other.

It was honestly a little embarrassing that he had been hiding it poorly enough so that Logan, the I-don't-have-feelings Logan, had realized it that easily. It was at least of slight comfort that Logan was still dense enough to not realize that Virgil had been crushing on him for months.

(Although he did root for them to get together, they would be such a great couple!)

Luckily for Roman none of them could tease him any longer. Two days ago and after hopelessly pining for Patton for a month he had gathered all his courage up and confessed his feelings to the moral side before his insecurities had the time to get to him.

And to his own amazement and incredible joy Patton had flung his arms around him in a tight hug with the cutest and happiest laugh, telling Roman he felt the same.

And right now, since neither of them was needed by Thomas today, they were both sitting in a meadow in the imagination. Roman could barely believe his luck, amazed that the side in front of him was his boyfriend, amazed that they were on their first date, amazed at how cute Patton was.

Said side had been absolutely delighted earlier today when Roman had suggested they had an impromptu date in the imagination. Roman had made hot chocolate and sandwiches to bring while Patton had insisted on making cookies, and then they had packed their things in a little basket that Patton conjured up before entering the imagination, appearing exactly where Roman had wanted.

It was a meadow, full of green grass and wildflowers in any color one might wish for. Nearby there was a big river with clear water that sparkled in the sunlight, and beyond the calmly flowing water a sunlit forest grew, the birch leaves bright green in the sun.

They had sat down together in the grass, unbothered by possible grass stains on their clothes since those could just be conjured away, eating their sandwiches and cookies and drinking their hot chocolate, talking about everything and anything and just enjoying the other's company.

"What are you thinking about?" Patton asked, interrupting Roman's thoughts of how cute his boyfriend was when he was rambling on about a cartoon he had begun to watch and which he was adamant to get Roman to watch with him. (As soon as Patton had described the show with the words 'magical princesses' and 'gay' Roman had been in.)

"Oh, just admiring your incredible beauty, my darling." Roman said, Patton immediately flushing bright pink at his words, a giggle escaping him. Patton was dressed in a blue button-up and that cute skirt that he had worn for the sides-in-skirts photo shoot, and Roman was so very, very gay. Patton also had a flower stuck behind his ear, because they had been plucking flowers while walking through the meadow and Roman just hadn't been able to help himself.

"You are just too gosh darn cute." Patton said, hiding his blush and his bright smile behind his hands. God, all Roman wanted to do was pull Patton into his lap and kiss him senseless, cup his face in his hands, play with Patton's soft hair, carry him around in his arms... But a raindrop hitting his hand stopped Roman's daydreaming.

He was the one who created everything in the imagination, all of it was from his own mind (or Thomas, perhaps), but that did not mean he had full control over his creations. Like the weather in the imagination, as an example.

Sometimes the imagination's weather acted up, changing with barely any warning, and apparently it had decided to do so now, the previously blue sky growing dark grey from rain heavy clouds. It happened so quick, Roman hadn't realized the clouds had appeared and hidden the bright sun, all his focus on the adorable side in front of him.

Why did the rain always have to come at the worst times? When he was in the middle of a fight with the dragon witch or when he was tired after a long day of questing or creating or walking, or like right now.

Within seconds raindrops were falling all around them, big drops that there just seemed to become more and more off. Roman jumped up on his feet, extending a hand to Patton and pulling his boyfriend to his feet, a frown tugging at his lips. This wasn't supposed to happen! It was supposed to be wonderful and beautiful and sunny and warm and now their date was being ruined, their first date-

Patton giggled, conjuring away their food as he wiped the rain off his glasses. Roman squeezed Patton's hand, just a little confused. His boyfriend wasn't running for cover from the rain, he didn't seem upset about his quickly dampening hair and clothes, he didn't seem to think that their date was ruined.

"I love rain!" He exclaimed, reaching his free hand up towards the sky, laughing as cool raindrops hit his face.

"You- you do?" Roman asked, slightly dumbfounded at the others positivity. Of course Patton was a literal ray of sunshine most times, so it shouldn't surprise Roman too much.

"Yeah! Isn't it just beautiful? And the sound is just so calming and it makes the world smell fresh and clean. You can jump in puddles and there's lots of fun mud and you can dance in the rain and afterwards when you're cold and wet you go inside and change into cozy clothes and listen to the pitter-patter of the rain and drink something warm and cuddle while watching movies. Rain is great, outside or inside!" Patton rambled, delighted despite how rain was dripping from his hair and starting to soak his clothes.

Roman looked around the imagination, starting to see what Patton was talking about. He pulled Patton in closer, placing a hand on his waist.

"Well then, may I have this dance?"
