A/N: Flashback to season 2.
Roman leans over the sink, blood still pouring from his mouth, still holding his tooth in his hand. He's been sobbing silently for the last few minutes, trying not to catch sight of himself in the mirror.
There's a knock at the door. "Roman?" calls Kendall's voice. "It's me and Shiv. Are you okay in there?"
"I'm fine!" he yells back, managing to sound irritated, keeping the tears out of his voice. It's just a tooth, why is everyone making such a big deal?
"Can you come out, Rome?" Shiv's voice. "We just wanna see that you're okay."
"I'm taking a dump, okay? Can I not do that without you guys muscling in? Just fuck off."
There are murmurs outside the door, then fading footsteps as someone walks away.
"Rome?" Shiv's voice again. "Kendall's gone. It's just me, okay? Can I come in?"
He hesitates. He kind of does want to see someone right now. He just couldn't deal with two of his siblings giving him pity looks.
"Just a sec," he calls. He puts the tooth down on the side of the sink, then splashes some water on his face. He rinses out his mouth, giving one last spit of blood. He looks in the mirror, then goes to unlock the door.
"Hey," says Shiv, stepping inside the cubicle. He locks the door again. "Are you okay?" She looks as pale as his reflection.
"Fine. I'll go get a new one later." He gestures at the tooth on the sink.
"Fuck, Rome. I'm sorry."
"What? It was me. I got in the way of angry Dad."
"It was my speech that made him angry."
"Yeah, well he'd never lay a hand on his Pinky." He winces, putting a hand to his mouth. It still hurts.
"I'll come with you, to get treatment…"
"No. You should go tonight. Don't wanna piss Dad off again."
"Okay." She nods. He can tell she's relieved. "Are you gonna be alright?"
"Yeah. Sure. You can tell everyone I'm fine, OK?"
"Hug?"
"Okay. Gimme your cooties." They have a quick hug, then Shiv slaps his arm. "I'll let you get back to your shit."
"Thanks, sis."
She lets herself out and he locks the door again, taking a deep breath.
