he held his hand, walking into the busy party
“A are you totally alright? P please tell me”
"Nhh-i-it's-a l-little loud-"
He was wincing a bit, shrinking into himself
he took out a pair of ear muffs
“I t thought you’d say that…hold still”
"Hm...?"
He held still
he slipped the muffs on his head
"b better?"
"Hf...." He took a deep breath, adjusting. He smiled
"Y-Yeah actually...!"
"great..."
he slowly took his hands and lead him to the ballroom, dancing with him in the middle of the room
Roman followed along, slowly relaxing as he got more comfortable. He nervously bit his lip, thumbs rubbing against Alex's hands
"...Alex....h-how come you don't hate me....? E-Everyone else does-"
"they cant see what i see..."
he was hyping himself up for something...but what?
he gripped his hands tighter, seeing his 'family'
"Hm-a-are you ok...?"
They didn't even look at him. It was as if their gaze slid right off of him, distracted by something else.
