I don't have any motivation or inspiration right now... I feel really blah and I have a killer headache. So some prompt/ship requests would be nice... sorry to impose.

STORYTIME!

There's a boy who visits Patton's ice cream parlor every Friday at three in the afternoon, and when he doesn't he lets Patton know ahead of time. Patton has grown very fond of this customer and always found himself looking forward to Friday afternoons. He'd always have the strawberry chocolate swirl ready for him the second he'd walk in, then the two of them would just chat and chat away. Patton had a classic case of a schoolhouse crush.

Patton finished swirling the ice cream in the large cup and was about to start topping it off with rainbow sprinkles, just the way his Strawberry Prince likes it, when he heard the bell of the front door ring. Patton turned around and grinned, but that grin instantly fell when he saw his crush walking in with a girl. His bright smile fell. Oh. Patton just assumed he was into guys with the way he was being talked to... Patton jumped to the conclusion that the smaller brunette girl was his girlfriend. Well... she was pretty...

"Hello Patton."

"Oh, hello Roman! Welcome back! I got the strawberry swirl right here! Just putting on the sprinkles right now! Umm... Who's your friend?"

"Oh, Valerie? She's the most adorable little thing isn't she? I love her so much! She's the best little sister in the entire world! Hey, can you get her a medium mint chocolate chip? That's her favorite."

The two of them sat down at the bar he included in his parlor. His parlor is a lot like the layout of a Starbucks. Valerie sat down on the side of Roman while Roman leaned on the counter, talking to Patton like normal. Valerie was on her phone, smiling at something. Both of them had their makeup on and hair done as we'll as wearing nice clothes and had some sweat. We're they both actors/actresses? Maybe they came back from an audition?

"Of course! Let me get that done! That'll be an extra dollar fifty nine, is that okay?"

"Definitely! She worked hard at her audition today, she earned it."

"Roman, I'm not a baby. You don't have to act like I'm  kid anymore."

"You'll always be my baby sister."

Patton laughed at how adorable the siblings were. Roman was getting out the money he needed to pay while Patton got the second ice cream cup. The two made the trade, Patton getting the money to the crash register and the two happily digging into their ice cream. Patton watched the two laugh amongst themselves, feeling slightly left out. There's no other customers in the store a d he doesn't exactly have anything to do.

Patton heard them talk about the audition for the show, Roman ask Valerie a bunch of things, Valerie joking around with him, exetera. Patton just got himself a small cup of vanilla ice cream and began eating it. It's his product. He's allowed to eat it. Valerie noticed Patton lookin get extremely sad and connected the dots together. She smiled and turned to her brother, who was going on and on about some Disney movie.

"Hermano, I think your boyfriend is feeling a bit neglected."

Valerie's lips curled like the Cheshire Cat, watching the chaos unfoil. Patton fixed his posture and felt the shame overwhelm his cheeks. He needed to see Roman's reaction to that. Roman just looked over at Patton with no dramatic effect. That's new. Normally everything Roman does is dramatic! Roman just flashed him a quick smile before laughing at Valerie's statement and at the circumstance.

"You can't just sah something like that out of the blue Hermana! You don't want to embarrass him~ Besides, I haven't popped the question yet. You basically ruined my surprise!"

He pouted, crossing his arms as his sister laughed heartily at her brother's shenanigans. Patton used the back of his freezing hand to feel his face. His fingers practically thawed from a single touch. Patton just watched in awe, his lips involuntarily curling upwards. He couldn't help but approach and lean over the counter, staring at Roman. He held in his adorable giggles while he decided to go in for the kill.

"Roman, you were going to ask me to be your boyfriend~?"

Valerie just stood up and walked out of the store, giving the two of them their privacy. She went to the car and just finished her ice cream on her own. Roman didn't notice, and Patton did out of the corner of his eye. Roman was smiling jus like he was. Both of them being complete doofs. Roman completely forgot about his ice cream, but that's okay. Patton is what matters right now. It's time. 

"Why wouldn't I want to date such an adorable boy?"

"Awww, you're so sweet. But I'm going to need you to ask It, okay?"

"Will you go out with me?"

"Duh!"

The two of them laughed at the awkward and extra exchange. Roman then expertly slipped a piece of paper from his pocket, sliding it over to Patton. It was his card. You know actors have a resume? Screw that because this actor has a card with a headshot, his phone number, exetera. Patton laughed at it. That's so dorky. 

"My phone number. Call me~"

"I will."

"Okay, I have to go. Goodbye."

"Goodbye~"

Patton dreamily sighed as he watched Roman take his ice cream cup and walk out to the car. Too bad the car was out of his view. Patton looked at the card and memorized the phone number. He stared into the face on the card. He went back to his vanilla ice cream and finished it off with one more spoon. Today was an extremely good day. He was now dating his crush! He got his phone number! He quickly got his phone and entered in the contact:
