The Clever Emo And His Royal Gothness:

"Patton Legrand is going to be the death of me."

Roman received a text just as he was exiting class. He rolled his eyes fondly at his friend's inability to deal with feelings and texted back.

"so what did your precious nerd do this time?"

The answer came immediately like Logan was already writing it.

"he debated me in lit class!!! You should have seen him he was so stubborn and eloquent and beautiful I think my soul left my body"

~Nice job, padre, told you that would work.~ Roman thought to himself proudly. Those two idiots will get together in no time, he was sure of it.

"okay okay, calm down. I've got some crofters in my locker, help yourself to some, I'll be right there."

Roman wrote back as he made his way from the class to his locker.

"thanks Ro, you're the best."

Roman smiled fondly down at the text, until he heard someone talking about him. Normally he wouldn't care, but partially because he was kicked five times since he left class and partially because the voices sounded familiar to him, he looked to see who it was, only to find his precious Patton and his hated arch nemesis, Virgil Tempest.

The pastel plague in human form was apparently displeased by the fact that Roman would be joining his and Patton's table for lunch. Well, two could play the name calling game!

"the feeling's mutual, you preppy pest-al prick." ha, that'll shut him up!

Of course seeing Patton upset that his two friends aren't getting along so well, he decided to lift his sunshine's spirits.

"hello, puffball! Here's that bow tie I promised you, it would look much better on you anyway." He said, smiling and handing the accessory to his dear friend.

His smile seemed to catch the prep off guard, not that Roman cared what that stuck up prep thought about him.

"well, I'll see you two at lunch!" he stepped back and turned around with his usual flare, intending to go meet Logan before the bell rang, when Virgil suddenly called after him.

"oh? Is the prince of darkness wanted in the company of his royal shyness?" He snarked, turning his head slightly to look at Virgil but not his whole body. He wasn't going to give that jerk more time than he promised Patton.

"you wish, princey. Just thought we should get rid of this dumb sign on your back, seeing as you're not wearing your cape today to hide it." Virgil snarked right back as he ripped the sign from Roman's shirt.

Princey, huh? That didn't sound half bad, not that he'd admit that to the prep. However, he did feel himself begin to blush in embarrassment at letting himself be pranked like that, and even more at needing help. From Virgil, of all people!

"oh. um, alright then." His face felt like it was on fire, he felt so stupid right now. How long had he been walking around with that sign? ~calm down Roman, you'll have plenty of time to beat yourself up about this later, right now there's a thanks you regretabley owe a certain someone...~ Roman felt incredibly embarrassed as he forced the words out of his mouth.

"thank you, Virgil. Any lesser man would have let me walk around with that sign all day. And now I know why I've been kicked five times on my way here." He didn't know what he expected to hear from a goody two shoes as a response to that. Maybe that he should spend less time in fantasy land and be more aware of his surroundings, or something about doing good things being one of his extra credit assignments, or perhaps Roman thought the prep would just snobbishly turn his nose up at him and walk away, completely ignoring him.

He certainly didn't expect to hear the words "yikes, humans are trash." Come out of the rose colored boy's lips. And he couldn't help but think that Virgil's voice sounded really nice all the sudden, and though he couldn't figure out what exactly was different about it, it still made him giggle. ~oh God, did I really just giggle?! In front of - and because of - Virgil Tempest?! What the hell's wrong with me?!?~

Despite his sudden internal crisis, he knew he had to keep the conversation going or they'd all just awkwardly stand there. "yes, they are. Which is why it was very noble of you to help me without being asked." He waited to see what Virgil would say, if he'd puff up at the compliment or put on his signature smile, the one he'd seen a million times whenever he answered a question in class correctly or got his picture taken for the star student list, the one that's always made him disdainful of the prep even before he had a single conversation with him.

But instead of any of that, Virgil smiled in a different way. A smile Roman had never seen on him before, small and shy. If smiles had metaphorical volumes, then his signature smile was loud like an obnoxious pop song that plays on the radio 24/7 and gets drilled into your head, but this smile was quiet, like a slow song you play to fall asleep to, or to cuddle someone with. ~I wonder what cuddling Virgil would-~ nope, that's enough of that train of thought, thank you very much! Oh thank God Virgil was still talking, he tuned in just in time to catch most of it and fill in the blanks fast enough to act like he wasn't lost in thoughts for the past few seconds.

"don't mention it. Anyway, you better get to class you dork, or else Patton won't have anyone to talk to." And suddenly, something clicked for Roman. He suddenly liked Virgil's voice for the same reason he liked his smile. It was real. He honestly can't believe he hadn't realized it before but in his defense, he thought being fake was Virgil's true identity. Which he feels really bad for now, but he's only ever had bad experiences with preps, so while his assumptions were wrong and unfair, they weren't baseless. But seeing this side of him, Roman finally understood why Patton liked Virgil so much.

He was starting to think he might like Virgil too.

He was literally saved by the bell as, right on cue after Virgil voiced his concern for the curriculum clock about to strike, the next class was announced with a loud ringing that Roman was for once thankful for.

"right! Well, I'll see you two later." he made his dramatic exit a more humble one this time, shyly smiling at Virgil. He wasn't one to tone himself down but Virgil seemed about as overwhelmed as Roman felt embarrassed, so he'd make an exception. just this once.

He figures coach won't mind if he's a few minutes later than usual, seeing as he's exempt from participating in P.E and only has to show up so they can mark his attendance, so he goes to his locker first, knowing that his friend would wait for him well past the bell, if nothing else than just to have an excuse to skip class.

When he made it, Logan was standing there, waiting impatiently. Upon seeing his dramatic friend, his frustration was immediately directed towards Roman. "There you are, finally! Where have you been?" Logan's voice took an accusatory tone, but Roman recognized the hurt and confusion hiding behind the anger.

"Sorry, MCscared, I ran into a bit of a... Distraction, shall we say. The good news is you're having lunch with Patton today!"

"WHAT?!" Logan was yelling in his ear, quite the role reversal of their usual antics. "What did you- I mean how did you- when would you have even- HUH?" The emo was between confused, delighted, and absolutely terrified.

"well, the distraction is only slightly related, but to answer your questions, I've been friends with Patton for the past two weeks and we made plans to have all four of us sit together at lunch today, but I'll of course be backing off once you and Patton inevitably strike up a conversation without my help, and I've no doubt Virgil will do the same."

After a short pause where Logan seemed to process this information as his brain came back online, he started to respond. "Alright, well, that about answers all of my questions, but it still doesn't explain what took, you, so..." His speech slower as he suddenly realized something unusual about Roman's statement.

"I'm sorry, did. Did you just call the Virgil Tempest by his name? And not a mean nickname?! And did you also say something positive about him with no prompting from anyone else?! Am I still in my own timeline?!"

"oh come on, I can be nice to people!" Roman protested, feeling bashful. Bashful, can you believe it? Him, the great Roman Sanders, feeling bashful. Bashful! Honestly he should just defenestrate himself right now, truly.

"barely, and that's to the people you genuinely like. You can be kind of not an asshole to people you tolerate, but wasn't it you who loudly and publicly declared yourself as Virgil's Tempest's arch enemy?"

"well maybe I didn't know know what I was talking about, okay?!" Roman suddenly shouted, making Logan frown. At the sight of this, Roman immediately started stuttering apologies and promises to do better, which caused Logan's frown to deepen for a moment before he schooled his expression to one of neutrality again. "Roman, it's fine. You're good, I'm good, we're cool. Everything is okay. You did nothing wrong, alright?"

Roman focused on Logan's anchoring voice, doing the breathing exercise his friend's dad taught him. Mr Picani was a great influence and one of the few adults Roman could trust.

After he manages to calm down, he explains himself. "I'm sorry for getting so mad but, the distraction I ran into? Was Patton and Virgil. And I was so ready to hate him, too! It started out like a standard interaction between us always does, right? I heard him talking some shit about me so I talked some shit back, but then..." Roman trails off, almost too embarrassed to continue.

"then, what? Come on you Tim Burton reject looking ass, don't leave me hanging!" Logan teased, knowing that the only thing to get his friend out of his own head when he starts spiraling is to make him upset, that way he focuses all his attention on being Dramatically Offended™.

"reject?! Tim Burton should be so lucky to have me in his movies, fuck you very much!" Roman struck back, before taking a breath to collect himself. "So, you know how hell is other people?"

"yes of course, it's one of the few things we agree on, what about it?"

"well, turns out some asshole taped a kick me sign to my back-"

"ah, so I see this entire school has chosen death. Who was it? No really, I just wanna talk."

"Logan, no. No murder today and besides even if it was a murder day I wouldn't be able to tell you because I obviously didn't see who did it or it wouldn't have been an issue worth mentioning at all, cuz I would've dealt with them myself."

"fine, go on."

"thank you! So after being kicked by five individuals and stumbling across Patton and Virgil's conversation which I was just about to wrap up and leave to see you before class, Virgil called to me and informed me of the sign while removing it. And he was so, nice?! Like, he was kind and decent and a genuinely sweet person?! But also, his humor! Let me tell ya, it is not what I expected. The star student looked me dead in the eye when I told him I was kicked and said 'people are trash'. WHAT?!"

"why does this surprise you so much? I mean, you were the one who told me his fakeness was an act you could see through from a mile away. So what's different this time?"

"I guess I realized that I was so busy seeing through it, I never thought to look into it."

"oh. Well I get that, but I also get why you didn't look into it. He reminds you too much of yourself-"

"what? No he does-"

"in middle school."

"...oh. oh shit."

Logan was right, as fucking usual. Roman had tried so hard to be perfect and fit in in middle school, and be what his DNA originators wanted him to be. It was torture every day, and thinking about it made him sick. He hated who that person was, a stranger who wore his face and used his name, and he never truly got over all that self loathing. He hated to admit it to himself, but he realized now that he had been projecting that self loathing onto Virgil.

Which really wasn't fair to Virgil, especially if they were as similar as both Logan and Patton kept insisting, then the prep probably already had his fair share of self loathing without Roman's help.

"hey, don't beat yourself up about it too hard. Yeah, you fucked up, but now you know and you won't do it again."

"yeah, I guess that's true." Roman smiled at his friend, only for that smile to immediately dropped as he came to a terrible conclusion. "Oh god no."

"what's wrong now?" Logan asked, slightly amused as he could tell his friend had his overly dramatic face on.

"if I was in the wrong this whole time, then that means I owe Virgil Tempest an apology."

Logan could barely hold it together anymore, and five seconds later, he burst out laughing. "Oh, this I gotta see!"

Roman's offended pout turned into a vengeful smirk. "Well you're in luck, because you're gonna get to see it today at lunch. Just like I'm gonna get to see you lose braincells in real time as you try to talk to Patton without drooling."

Logan suddenly remembered the beginning of the conversation, his whole face going red. "You know, I really hate you sometimes."

"the feeling is mutual and you'll be thanking me later for this, probably when you and Padre are at the alter exchanging vows." Roman winks and nudges him.

"right, and will this be before I fight his father for the right to have his son's hand in marriage, or after?" Logan quipped at Roman as the two finally made their way from the latter's locker to their respective classes.

Roman had a few more steps to walk alongside Logan before they had to split off, so after a playful punch in answer to Logan's teasing, he put a hand on his friend's shoulder to stop them both. "But seriously, this is gonna go great, okay? I know I joke around about you being a helpless gay a lot, but I also know you get nervous and I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about."

Logan smiles at him. "Thanks, Ro. You're-" Logan takes a breath before continuing, the words not coming easy to him. "You're a good friend."

Roman's smile widens, and yeah he gets a little misty eyed, so sue him! He knows just how much that means coming from Logan, so he immediately replies. "It's no problem Lo. You're the greatest friend I could've ever asked for. Helping you isn't even a question."

Logan just shakes his head fondly at Roman's ability to pull a dramatic line like that out of nowhere, and tries not to visibly marvel at the fact that he means it. He snaps himself back to earth, and changes the subject.

"anyway, we should probably get to class, I'll see you at lunch?"

"yep, see ya!"

And as they both went in different directions, their smiles never left their faces as they thought of how lucky they were to have met each other. (Author’s note: this is the unedited version that I’ve had in my drafts and worked on for a while. it’s not extremely different, but there are some slight changes between this and the chapter I just posted on AO3. still, I felt that for the few people who follow thisblog, I should post this draft already. going forward, I’ll just post a link to the latest update on my AO3 account. hope you enjoy this chapter!)

Jean Sulpice, nommé « Chef de l'année » par le Gault & Millau http://7detable.com/

Comme chaque année, le Gault & Millau crée l’événement en révélant ses lauréats. Cette année, en première ligne, c’est Jean Sulpice qui est nommé chef de l’année et Cédric Grolet, pâtissier de l’année. Juan Arbelaez et les frères Chantzios, quant à eux, reçoivent le Trophée Pop de l’année pour leur restaurant à tendance grecque, Yaya.

Come de Chérisey (Gault & Millau), Magali et Jean Sulpice - (c) Hrvprod - Olivier Humeau

Il succède ainsi à Alexandre Couillon. Jean Sulpice prend les rênes d’un des titres les plus convoités dans la gastronomie, celui de Chef de l’année remis par le Gault & Millau. Chef des cimes, à 39 ans Jean Sulpice cuisine à 2300 mètres depuis 2002 à Val Thorens, et à récemment, en 2016, repris en main une des plus célèbres adresses dans la région d’Annecy, à Talloires une auberge mythique, celle du Père Bise. Déjà auréolé de quatre toques par le guide, le voici plus qu’encouragé pour mener ce lieu proche du lac au sommet pour qu’ainsi la terre et le ciel se rejoignent. Élève de Marc Veyrat, Jean Sulpice est attaché à ses montagnes et cuisine avec comme un duo gagnant et la preuve en est. L’Auberge du Père Bise a longtemps eu trois étoiles entre 1951 et 1984, ce titre de meilleur Chef de l’Année devrait le pousser à faire toujours mieux. Avec la note de 18,5 et ses quatre toques, l’auberge va redevenir, nous en sommes certains, l’un des lieux les plus gastronomiques de France. Du côté sucré c’est Cédric Grolet qui, après son titre de Meilleur Pâtissier du Monde, devient pour le guide celui de l’année. Le jeune chef pâtissier du Meurice que nous avons rencontrer pour la parution de son livre « Fruits » fait de ce, peut-être, dernier titre, une année exceptionnelle pour lui. Pour les titres de Jeune pâtissiers de l’année, Guillaume Godin du restaurant La Vague d’Or à Saint-Tropez et Aleksandre Oliver du restaurant de Yoann Conte à Annecy l'emportent également. Pour le Trophée Pop de l’Année, Juan Arbelaez et les frères Chantzios pour leur restaurant Yaya emportent le titre. Le jeune chez d’origine colombienne a créé en juin dernier en compagnie des fondateurs de la société Kalios, ce restaurant dédié à la cuisine grecque, Yaya voulant d’ailleurs dire « Grand-Mère ». Avec des plats qui ne dépassent pas les 20 euros, Yaya est un joyeux spot à Saint-Ouen où l’on aime aller entre amis.

Toujours connu du grand public et ici, du grand public parisien, Tigrane Seydoux et Victor Lugger obtiennent le titre d’Entrepreneurs de l’année avec leurs différents lieux East Mamma, Ober Mamma, Mamma Primi et Biglove Caffè, Pizzeria Popolare et Pink Mamma. En moins de deux ans, ils ont réussi à faire faire la queue pendant minimum une demi-heure à des milliers de clients pour manger de bonnes pizzas. Rien que pour cela, on comprend le titre… Plusieurs jeunes chefs ont reçu le précieux titre « Grands de demain » qui met sur les épaules de ceux qui les portes un poids d’excellence : Glenn Viel, de l’Oustau de Baumanière (13) ; Mathieu Dupuis-Baumal, du Domaine de Manville (13) ; Victor Ostronzec, du restaurant Soléna (33) ; Kazuyuki Tanaka, du restaurant Racine (51), et David Bizet, de l’Orangerie (75). D’autres titres ont été remis : - Sommelier de l’année 2018 : Florian Balzeau au restaurant Le Gindreau à Saint Médard. - Jeune sommelier de l’Année 2018 : Matthieu Binsinger au restaurant Buerehiesel à Strasbourg. - Directeur de salle de l’Année 2018 : Christian David au restaurant Le Grand Véfour à Paris. - Jeune directeur de salle de l’Année : Maxime Périer au restaurant Le Café du Peintre à Lyon. Trois restaurants gastronomiques passent de la note de 19/20 à celle de 19,5/20. Les Près d’Eugénie à Eugénie-les-Bains, le restaurant bien connu du chef Michel Guérard, Flocons de Sel à Megève du chef Emmanuel Renaut et Le Cinq (Four Seasons – Georges V) à Paris, le restaurant du chef Christian Lesquerre. La Marine, le restaurant d’Alexandre Couillon obtient sa cinquième toque, quant au Clos des sens à Annecy, à L’Oustau de Baumanière aux Baux de Provence ; à La Villa Madie à Cassis et à L’Hostellerie de Plaisance à Saint-Emilion, ils passent ainsi de trois toques à quatre. Avec l’annonce ses lauréats, le guide ajoute un message qui tend à se distinguer des autres guides (quels autres ? ben les autres… Haaa ! L’autre… oui, voilà, l’autre guide…) : « Après les mouvements capitalistiques de l’année 2017, Gault&Millau devient le dernier guide international totalement indépendant. Rattaché à aucun groupe cette indépendance est une garantie pour les restaurants qui sont notés avec impartialité et pour les lecteurs qui bénéficient d’une critique juste appliquée avec déontologie » et de rajouter : « Gault&Millau est le seul site à refuser d’être un portail. Seuls les restaurants de la sélection sont publiés. Aucun restaurant ne peut s’inscrire de lui-même. Cette approche 100% sélective est une garantie pour nos lecteurs. » À bon entendeur !!

Cheshire’s Smile: Adrien’ Living Arrangements… AKA: Gorilla having primary custody of one Adrien Agreste.

Read this first: https://a-marlene-s.tumblr.com/post/189232280481/oh-can-you-write-a-drabble-about-adrien-and-chat

Background Info:

The first two heroes that came to be are Chat Noir and Carapace.

Nino and Adrien know of each other’s secret identities.

Six months after the disappearances of Emilie Agreste, Nathalie and Gorilla “Septime Legrand” worked together to get Adrien out of the Agreste household.

It was clear to them that Gabriel plans on working his son to the bone for his fashion company, going as far to isolate him from the world around him.

It wasn’t so hard to do. Nathalie knew someone that did an extensive investigation on Gabriel that showed he has been taking out his grief on his only son and it showed.

This resulted with Gabriel giving primary custody of his son to Septime Legrand, aka Gorilla. The fashion tycoon knew if news reached into the public, the backlash will end him.

He did what Nathalie told him is best for him, Adrien and for the company. He gave away his son.

Adrien now lives with Gorilla and Mrs. Clementine Legrand.

Gorilla and Clementine had only one son that is in the army and he would visit as often as he could. When the son found out he now has a brother, he started to send postcards and random items to Adrien.

Adrien loves everything his brother sends him and treasures every single thing he gets.

Within a month, Adrien was enrolled into summer school to give him the opportunity to interact with other kids his age… that wasn’t Chloe.

There, he met Nino who was there to catch up on a music program that is only offered during the summer. Through Nino, Adrien met Marinette and Kim, Nino’s childhood friends.

The trio helped Adrien to the best of their abilities in helping him get used to being around people his own age.

To say the least, it was a massive eye opener for Adrien. Even more so when his new friends taught him to stand up for himself and showed him how the actual world is like.

Adrien still does modeling for his father’s company as it was part of the deal between Gorilla and Gabriel. But that only if it doesn’t take away from Adrien’s other activities.

Like fencing, video games, studying with friends, and well… being a kid his own age. Things he wants to do.

That still doesn’t stop him from modeling after finding out how Marinette wants to become a fashion designer and is more than willing to use his father to help her reach her goals.

Adrien put a massive line in his ‘friendship’ with Chloe. He made it a point that her behavior is unacceptable and that she needed to change in order to make friends. Or at least be remotely human. Sticking to his guns against her.

He begins to grow feelings for Marinette and it wasn’t until Kim points out that it looks like Adrien is developing feelings for his best friend Marinette. Then saying that it sucks for Adrien as it appears Marinette has a thing for Chat Noir.

Adrien doesn’t know why if he should be happy that Marinette has a thing for his alter ego or that Marinette probably doesn’t like him as Adrien.

In the background, fully knowing that Adrien is Chat Noir and the blonde’s crush on Marinette, Nino is laughing his ass off.
