Sorry if this isn't what you expected, but I tried : D

Roman was stressed. A common occurrence these days. The bright lights in his room, and the loud noises ringing throughout the house were overwhelming him. It was too much.

He whimpered, not understanding why the lights were so bright.

Patton was reading a picture book, when he looked up and smiled softly. He got up and dimmed the lights, and Roman's stiffened form began to visibly relax.

Patton smiled, and Roman just sat there, staring at his boyfriend with a fond look in his eyes.

"Hey, Roro, you seem kind of stressed. How about we sit back, relax, and put on a movie?" Patton suggested kindly.

Roman clapped his hands vigorously, "Disney?!" He asked in an excited glee. But at the same time, it was in a monotone sort of voice. Patton was Amazed at how Roman was able to accomplish it.

Patton couldn't help but smile back at his boyfriend's child-like amusement.

Roman didn't care which movie they watched as long as it was Disney. So Patton turned on one of Ro's favorites-The Lion King.

They sat down on their living room couch, Roman staring at the tv, making a weird facial expression. Patton smiled softly, another one of his symptoms.

They'd been working on his eye contact troubles lately. He had very poor eye contact abilities, and always seemed to avoid it, or get distracted by something else.

They slowly inched closer to each other until they were cuddling. Patton was holding Roman gently, Roman finding a comfortable position, and staying there.

Halfway through the movie, Roman began rocking. It was subtle, but Patton noticed. He was slowly swaying back and forth. Patton knew it was one of his stims. So he just sat back and let it happen.

He began to bounce as he flicked his fingers, beginning to peel off his finger's skin and biting his nails until they bled.

"Hey, hey hey" Patton gasped, gently pulling Roman's hands away from his mouth, "you can't do that. You're hurting yourself" Patton explained.

Roman looked at Patton in confusion, but replied "okay" in his usual flat tone.

Patton frowned, Roman must think he's in trouble. He's usually pretty expressive. In his own..ways.

"Ro, honey, you aren't in trouble, it's just that you could hurt yourself doing that."

"I've done this my whole life. My mother never cared."

"Your mother wasn't a nice person." Patton said, growling at the mere mention of that ungodly woman.

"Autistic, AND GAY?! You are the WORST SON I COULD EVER ASK FOR! And in top of YOU I have to deal with your DISGUSTING twin! GOD, give me a BREAK!"

Patton shivered at the memory. He was there when Roman came out to his mother. That night, his mother beat him badly. Patton came over in his car once Roman texted him, and Roman was sobbing, but trying to keep it in. He was sniffling and breathing heavily, tears flowing out of his eyes.

He had bruises for weeks after that.

Patton snapped out of the memory. It was okay now. That was years ago, she couldn't hurt him anymore. And if she tried, Patton would promise her two black eyes and a broken nose.

"I love watching movies with you" Roman said in excitement, a smile on his face as he began clapping.

He started making noises, kind of like squeals-he was making his 'happy noises' as they called them.

He began to ramble incoherently, gushing happily about how much he loved his boyfriend, and how much je loved spending time with him.

And Patton, he didn't mind. It was natural for them. He loved every quirk his boyfriend had. And he loved helping him out when he needed it.

He sighed happily, softly running his fingers through Roman's hair. This was he liked to call a perfect night, because as long as Roman was happy, so was he.
