Home Sweet Home

Summary:

After multiple fights and struggles (especially with taking care of the Bard King and his stupid college) Roman, Youngblood and Noise head back to Reston.

Notes:

~ If you have any hurt or fluff prompts for Roman of Reston/Roman Sanders - because I project onto them - feel free to submit them to me! I'm a multishipper for a handful of things so you can send that stuff to me. Just no NSFW I'm a minor.

~ Sorry this took so long to get this out, I've had the idea and its been sitting half finished for a week and a half but stuff got really stressful and I felt like my writing and art skills were absolutley terrible and I didn't want to touch any of my fanfic our half finished art pieces in fear of ruining them. Anyways, be ready for some smack-you-in-the-face, hardcore angst because I need a way to get my pent up emotions out so the Romeo and Juliet style fic is going to hurt a LOT more than any of you could ever guess.

But thanks for your response on my posts, and I really am so grateful you all enjoy my fics even if I can't finish them sometimes. Whether its due to brain dropping fandoms and picking up new ones and shaking them aggressively to get as much serotonin as possible or I just don't feel like writing, you all seem to keep reading. So thank you so much, and enjoy some fluff from my favorite OT3.

Roman brushes his hand through the wheat, occasionally rubbing at the gauze pads on his cheek and sholder, as gold light settles over his shoulders and creates elongated shadows of he, Noise and Youngblood. He takes long strides through the straight-shot path, excitedly explaining to Noise how delightful Reston is and how sure he is about how the people will love him.

"The food is great, the people are great and you're great!" He explains, "It all balances out."

"Roman, you really need to cut it out with the compliments." Noise insists, waving his hand at him, but that doesn't stop him.

"How could I stop, you really are great, you're both great!" Roman walks backwards, and gestures to Noise and Youngblood who are both blushing and have been for the last twenty minutes. Roman has been going on and on about how excited he is to return home, excitedly but also nervously rambling about telling the stories they have all gained from the adventure. He isn't exactly sure how to explain some of the gorey or darker details that are extremely important to include, but not the most comfortable to explain in the story. He also isn't sure how to explain that hes dating two people at once. Roman mindlessly rambles, slowly becoming incoherent.

"How-" Youngblood wavers, "how about we save the story for tomorrow? When we get to Reston, it's gonna be late. We'll try to mellow out the darker stuff, and when we're all ready we'll take about our relationship?"

"That sounds good," Roman affirms, "sorry, I'm just trying to map everything out in my head."

"You're okay, we both understand why you're nervous." Noise assures, "Just keep telling me about Reston. Do you have anymore stories?"

"No, not really," Roman says, "my childhood wasn't that exciting."

"Really? You barely told us five stories." Noise asks.

"Sure I have more, but those were the good ones." Roman explains, "The rest are boring."

"They can't be that boring." Noise gives a chuckle under his breath, not being able to imagine someone as rambunctious and unaware as Roman having an uneventful childhood.

"They are." Roman assures, "I didn't really have any friends, and my dad and aunt patty were usually busy so I spent most days in my room or out helping villagers."

"Does everyone in your village know you?" Noise asks, sarcastically.

"Yeah, actually." Roman says, completely missing Noises' sarcasm, "There aren't a lot of us, and my dad and Aunt Patty are the town protectors, so of course they know me." He explains, "I would go around helping everyone and keeping them company to avoid being bored out of my mind. Playing in the yard gets boring after a while."

"Thats why you started doing art, right?" Youngblood asks.

"Yeah, but with no real inspiration, I would wander around town and draw inspiration from that." Roman says, "Go look at the other kids playing, Burgundy making bread, Dorian would tell me stories, Samuel was really good at pointing out locations he thought I would enjoy drawing."

"You never joined the other kids?" Noise asks.

"Tried, we just didn't click." Roman gestures his hand around and they bounce together we he finishes his sentence.

Noise decides that maybe there's more to that story that Roman doesn't really dig into. Which is not good for him in the slightest, but right now hes blissful and happy. He supposes that's a conversion for another day.

Roman continues to ramble about Reston and such as he guides them down the path, even though there isn't much guiding to be done. Soon enough, the tall wooden sign labelling the town comes into view and Roman excitedly rushes forward, leaving Youngblood and Noise in the dust. The two of them pick up the pace to keep close, but don't bother running. All of their feet hurt and they ran out of water an hour ago.

Roman easily makes it to the front of town before the two of them and rocks back and forth on his heels as he waits for them. The southern edge of Reston is relatively empty, especially during the evening, besides Fast Timmy, Mel and Hendersons' wrecked barn that seems to be fixed back up. Roman keeps taking in breaths to smell the familiar scent of Burgundy Reds Breads and is just vibrating with excitement. He is painstakingly talking to Noise about last minute stuff about Reston before hes nearly knocked off his feet by a blue lightning whirl that seemingly comes out of nowhere.

"Oh- my goodness!" Noise reaches out to catch him, but Roman quickly steadies himself with his arms stretched out. He looks down, and sees exactly what he expects. Fast Timmy has wrapped himself around Romans' legs and doesn't seem like he intends on letting go.

Youngbloods face drops slightly, but is aware that they left on okay-ish terms with Fast Timmy and his gang.

"Hey buddy." Roman says, patting his newsboy cap.

"You were gone for far too long." Fast Timmy hastens to remark, looking up at Roman.

"Yes, yes." Roman scoffs, "Say, where are the other two?"

"They're probably catching up." Fast Timmy says before catching sight of Noise, who is awkwardly lingering behind Youngblood.

"Who's that?" He asks, letting go of Roman to edge closer.

"That is my new friend Noise," Roman explains, "I met them while me and Youngblood were out adventuring."

"Cool." Fast Timmy edges closer to Noise as Mel and Henderson come barreling around the barn, both smacking into Roman and Youngblood.

"Hello, Henderson!" Roman says, apparently not ready for the second of many rounds of excited hugging. Mel seems unusually chipper and immediately asks Youngblood, the only one she knows is magical, about any potions or magic they learned about on their trip.

"I got a potion set," She says, "I'm just curious." Her face is twisted into a mischievous grin which definitely means they, most likely, already have something planned with Mels' newfound power.

Henderson is also asking a load of questions regarding their journey, and so is Fast Timmy who is surprisingly interested in Noise with his horns and batton and clothes.

"I promise I'll answer all your questions when I can," Roman assures, crouched so he can be on the same level as Henderson, "but for now I'm looking for my dad. You got any idea where he is?"

"He's probably near the center of town if hes not at your house." Henderson says, "Can we walk with you guys? Can I walk with you guys?"

"I don't see why not?" Roman ruffles Henderson's hair before he stands up and motions to Youngblood and Noise that they should keep walking. They do so, and Mel and Fast Timmy tag along and continue to ask boat-loads of questions.

As they approach the front of town, there are more buildings and maybe two people. Reston is very accustomed to going to bed early. Though, the two people they do walk past give them a glance at Roman and scurry away. Roman pays no attention to it, but both Youngblood and Noise can't help but feel a very slight sting of anger in the back of their heads at how they seemed almost weary of Roman. They both push away the thought as they focus back on the manogarie of questions the kids are asking them.

"What was it like? Outside of Reston?" Henderson asks.

"Very different." Roman says, "Some places are a lot like Reston, but some are the complete opposite. Stuff I couldn't even imagine."

"Like what?"

"Well, what's the most unbelievable thing you can imagine?" Roman asks.

"Uhm..." Henderson pauses to think, "Someone with... wings." He drawls.

"Seen it." Roman says, feelings like the most knowledgable person in the world for a moment.

"Really?!" Hendersons' face lights up.

"Yep," I promise I'll tell you all about it tomorrow."

"You promise?" Henderson asks.

"Promise."

Behind them Noise is slowly answering Fast Timmys' questions, who seems deeply intrigued in Noise and their look.

Roman has begun talking to Youngblood as Henderson and Mel hang around them, and none of them even notice the distant clanking of heavy armour. It's only Noise that notices it, but doesn't get to say anything before Roman is, again, nearly knocked over (yet again out of the blue). Roman freezes for a moment and blinks before chuckling, and clearing his throat to push out the sound of fatigue in his voice.

"Hey, dad." He says, smiling and hugging the man dressed in scuffed, silver armour back. Somehow, this is the first time he has ever made it to him before Aunt Patty, even though shes merely two seconds behind. She also joins them and Roman breathes out an exasperated laugh, "Aunt Patty you're going to crush me."

"Just one more second, Deary." She says, holding Roman and Ryker as close as humanly possible. Eventually, though, she lets go and Roman regains his breath as Noise and Youngblood attempt to stifle their chuckles. "Sorry, I have to make up for lost time."

"You can make up for lost time soon, Patty." Ryker says, "Let him sit down before you crush him."

"Sorry, sorry, it just feels so good to know you're back." Aunt Patty ruffles Romans' hair before looking back at Youngblood and Noise, "Good to see you too, Youngblood. And Roman, who is this new friend you've brought with you?"

"Oh, that's Noise. He's an old friend of Youngbloods'." Roman explains.

"Oh, how delightful!" Aunt Patty says, promptly walking over to shake Noises' hand, "Very nice to meet you, dear."

"Nice to meet you, too, I have heard much about you and Romans' father." Noise shakes Aunt Pattys' hand, trying to come off as well-going as possible.

While Noise and Youngblood are being bombarded by Aunt Patty, Ryker is cautiously looking Roman over. He stretches his arm out and rubs his thumb over the gauze pad on Romans’ cheek,

”What happened? Are you okay?” Ryker asks, “That’s quite a large bandage, and you’ve got an even bigger one on your shoulder.”

”Just a little fight, between the three of us we handled it quite well.” Roman assures, “It’s just a cut, and the one on my shoulder is just a small burn.”

”Burn? Someone burned you?” Ryker narrows his eyes as his posture striaghtens.

”Yes, but I’m okay.” Roman hastens to say as he pulls his fathers hand away, “Youngblood healed it up for the most part. And, hey, we’ll match.” Roman waves his hand up at the gauze on his cheek.

Ryker chuckles, but the worry lingers on his voice. Roman doesn't even know how he's going to explain the multiple times he almost died and/or bawled his eyes out.

"How'd you find out we were here?" Roman glances around to see if someone is looking on.

"Two villagers caught sight of you and came to us." Ryker explains, "Thankfully, I was a few steps ahead of your Aunt, so I was able to get a good hug in before she blocked you off."

Roman laughs and looks around, rolling back on his heels, taking in the candle-lit street lights and smell of fresh baked bread and a feeling of security and comfort washes over him. Sure, some of the other towns he visited were similar to Reston. Some places were fancier or more advanced. Some places were more exciting and bustling with people. But, nothing,

absolutley nothing

could compare to Reston.

"Feels great to be home." He says.
