"So you and Kurt…" Was Sarah's first words to Roman as he settled into his seat in first period.

David and Patterson ceased their conversation to turn and look at the two. It was clear they were curious to know more about the relationship between their longtime friend and their newest one. Rolling the sleeves of his shirt up and leaning back in his seat, Roman arched a brow.

"Yeah, what about us?" He asked, looking from David to Patterson to Sarah.

Sarah let out an annoyed huff as she leaned forward to place both hands atop Roman and Patterson's shared desk. "He's my brother and I care a lot about him. I just want to know what's going on between you two being a protective sister and all."

Roman couldn't blame her. Jane had been the same way with him and he too would do the same if Tasha and her ever moved forward with their relationship. It was actually nice to know that Sarah cared deeply for her brother and would even go as far as to question the boy he liked.

"Kurt and I agreed to take things slow so we aren't officially a couple. I mean, we haven't discussed that part but we don't want to rush into things." Roman explained as he lifted a hand and ran it through his hair.

Sarah's following smile could have easily lit up the entire classroom for how wide it was. "I am very happy to hear that. But just know, if you ever hurt my brother, I'll hurt you."

With those words, Sarah turned around in her seat and began to busy herself with her cellphone. Roman only chuckled at her words but decided that he probably should take her seriously.

"I'm glad to hear about you two, by the way." Patterson said as she leaned forward to meet her lab partner's gaze.

"Same here. Kurt definitely deserves someone like you." David chimed in with a wide smile.

Roman could only return his smile as he genuinely felt happy in that moment. Not only were his friends extremely supportive about Kurt and him but he knew that he could always trust in them immensely.

How lucky were Jane and him to befriend such an amazing group?

When Roman arrived at the group table for lunch, Kurt was already there.

Cursing himself for flushing at the sight of him, Roman took his usual seat besides him and smiled. "Hey Kurt,"

"Hi Roman," Kurt greeted him before he surprisingly leaned forward and pressed a chaste kiss to the other's temple.

Roman's fair face flushed a deep shade of red as he cast his gaze downwards to his tray of food where he reached for his pudding cup.

"Aren't you two cute," Tasha drawled out, prompting Roman to raise his gaze and glare.

"Cute just like you and my sister buying matching leather jackets?" Arching a brow, he simply stared down the brunette.

A collective silence fell over the group and lasted way longer than it should have. Roman was beginning to regret his words when a slow smirk began to spread across Tasha's face.

"Nah, I think Jane and I have you beat."

Roman burst out laughing alongside with her which prompted the rest of the group to slowly join in, albeit awkwardly.

"So Roman, I think we need to buy matching leather jackets." Kurt stated, prompting a round of genuine laughter.

When the laughter died down, the group fell into a single conversation but all the while Roman would look around the table and smile.

How lucky indeed.
