bianca hadn’t taken the news well. she’s gone completely ballistic and he wished it wasn’t something he needed to tell her. in fact, if they didn’t have cleo together then he wouldn’t feel the need to but he wanted her to know who was going to be around their daughter on a more regular basis. her inability to deal with the news caused her to attach roman. while, yes, he was bigger, he was also not the type of guy to lay his hands on a woman and so once he managed to get away from her, he landed himself at serena’s apartment. knocking, he pursed his lips as she answered the door. “i’m fine.” he reassured her as she noticed the bruise forming on his face.

WHO: Roman Decker. Contractor. 43-46. OPEN TO: F 30+ PLOT: he’s recently divorced and planning on spending christmas alone except your muse isn’t having it. she could invite him out, invite herself in, whatever. go wild. i’m thinking they’re best friends??

christmas was one of the only days he allowed himself off and that was mostly because he had to allow his workers the holidays off too. despite the fact that he was spending the holiday alone didn’t mean everyone else was and well, he wasn’t heartless, even if some believed he was. he was seated on the couch with, surprisingly enough, the grinch playing over the screen when he heard his doorbell. furrowing his brows, he pushed himself up and made his way to the door. “what are you doing here? i’m sure your family’s missing you.”

roman had taken a break to step outside for a smoke. it was an awful habit he’d picked up since arriving on land but it was one that helped him with the overall stress of having to protect people for a living. he wouldn’t normally pay too much attention to his surroundings while on a break, mostly because he took his breaks in the alley way but a crashing noise caught his attention, which immediately put him on high alert. the mermaid put out his smoke and went toward the noise, raising an eyebrow as he approached the other. “there a reason you’re hanging out in an alley or do you just do it for fun?”

roman looked up at his future wife as she came through the door and pursed his lips. what was he supposed to say? was there anything he could say to make this less awkward? he wasn’t for sure but he did make them dinner in attempt to start something nice between them. of course, they weren’t complete strangers but they still didn’t really know all that much about each other. he gave the woman a smile and waved her toward their dinning room table, “dinner’s almost ready. please tell me you’re hungry.”

roman knew this was a bad idea. the last thing that he needed was to get involved in something like this but god, the chemistry between the two of them was so much more compared to what he felt when he was around his wife. it was late and it was no surprise that he was holed up in his office after the sun went down. she often joined him, at least, she did if he were lucky. he looked up at her as she walked in, “you’re still here. i told you that you’re welcome to go home for the evening.”

serena deserved better than the situation roman had landed her in and he couldn't help but beat himself up over it. this would've never happened if he wouldn't have rekindled things with the girl but god, he couldn't help it. he loved her. surely, he was allowed to find love aside from his ex wife. he looked at her as she approached his window and nodded slowly, "okay." he leaned down and pressed a kiss against the woman's lips. "we're gonna get through this, right? she has to leave us alone eventually."

She let out a sigh. Of course that was Roman, he was putting everyone before himself. Serena saw his truck park in the driveway and ended the call before approaching him. She rested her hands against his window, which was down thanks to the hot weather. "You have to stop looking for a way out for me, I said I'm staying, Roman, so that's what I'm doing, I'm staying," Serena replied. gently resting her forearms on the edge of his open window "And I know it's not your fault, I don't blame you." That didn't mean that she was still nervous about the cameras but in no way did she blame Roman.

closed starter for @brknghrts ft. roman & emilio

if there was one thing that roman enjoyed after a long day at work, it was relaxing at home with his boyfriend. smiling over at him, his arm wrapped around his shoulders. "coming home to you is easily one of my favorite things to do," he commented. though, his smiled immediately dropped at the sound of a car door slamming shut outside. "are you expecting someone?"

roman sighed, his fingers running through his hair in frustration. if he were being honest, he was a little afraid that this whole ordeal was going to end up pushing serena away from him. "i'll, you know, understand if you want to take a break until i get this all sorted out. no one deserves this added stress and i wish i would've known about the cameras. i'm so sorry, rena. i wish there was more i could do. "

the last thing that he expected was to be going through something that seemed to only happen in movies or in books. it was added stress, something he didn’t want around the holidays, but regardless of that he worked hard to help his wife remember what the two of them had together. roman missed her, missed their relationship and it seemed that no matter what he did, nothing was ever going to be normal again. he was attending a christmas party with her and even went as far as to get all cleaned up, and even so, her attention was elsewhere and the realization of that was like a punch in the gut. he approached her slowly, not wanting to make a scene, “i’m gonna go,” he started, “it’s just, i see the way you look at him. please don’t deny it. i only know because you used to look at me that way...”

he’d been searching for alaric. it was a process and something he’d been doing since he got here. he was using a camera to help him look around when someone stopped right in front of it. he pursed his lips and put it down, “i’m not...trying to be weird.” he told him and cleared his throat. “i was just...looking for someone.” he tucked his camera under his arm, “i’m roman. i’m new here.”

roman looked up at the man joined him and he recognized him as someone he met early on. he smiled slightly and lifted his shoulders up in a shrug, “ah, he’s not budging and i was chasing him down for a little while but i do not think it’s worth it anymore. he isn’t going to listen and so maybe i could stay here too...” he rambled. while he did like his job back in the water, he was getting used to his life one land too.

“i’ve noticed a lot of singers ending up here in hollows creek,” roman spoke to the woman after she climbed off stage. the mermaid really wasn’t good at conversation but he was on the clock, working security at the club for the night and he thought he might as well talk to her. “is this the new LA or what?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. he actually didn’t know a lot about life on land but had learned a decent amount by watching late night sit coms.

alaric was harder to track down than he orginally thought that he would be. he figured that maybe he would find him near that water but that had obviously been too easy. eventually though, the man had spotted him at the bar and wasted no time taking a seat next to him. “alaric,” he started, looking over at him as their eyes met for the first time in a long time, “it’s time to come home.”

“i’m sorry i was late today.” roman apologized as he walked out the door of the security firm with sebastian. he definitely wasn’t leaving a good first impression and he almost felt embarrassed having already been late on his second week of the job. “i will stay late one day this week and make it up to you.” he added. if there was one thing that roman had, it was a work ethic. he had always been hard working and he often didn’t leave himself much time for anything else. “but for tonight, maybe we could grab a drink.” if he was going to be here for a little while, he figured that he might as well make at least one friend.

“-what? what’s wrong?” roman asked as he followed the red head out of the bar and towards her supposed emergency. charlie was someone he’d talked to a couple of times and he liked to talk to but from the beginning, he felt as though we was way too boring to keep her company. he really didn’t even expect her to actively ask him for help anyways, especially since she’d given him a hard time about his job before. he stopped as they got to her bike, furrowing his eyebrows. “what kind of emergency is this?” he knew he shouldn’t be out here with her but he also liked helping those in need. “i mean, the bike looks alright to me and i’m no mechanic.”

roman was grabbing a smoke outside of the bar, his back leaning against the cool brick of the building. grabbing a drink after his shift at the security firm was basically the only thing that managed to give him some sort of seratonin while he attempted to talk his kingdom’s beloved prince into coming home. his head turned as the door opened and someone walked out, throwing a polite nod in her direction moments later. he paused for a couple of moments, “i thought your set was nice.” he commented. he never expected someone so small to have such a voice but then again, life was full of surprises. he wasn’t good at socializing and so instead, he pulled out his pack of cigarettes and offered it in her direction. “wanna smoke?”
