Day 2: Family/Friendship
It’s Day 2 Travelers! This time Mod Duke and Mod Dreamer collabed and made a short fic for the prompt. As always we hope you enjoy and we look forward to your submissions! ❤️💙❤️
Enough was enough. Patton decided he couldn’t take any more of the animosity that was constantly pulsating around the room between him and Roman in particular. He read his note one more time before he sighed and morosely made his way back to his room to gather his things.
--
Roman couldn’t help but realise that he had been a bit of a jerk recently, he knew he was pushing everyone away, Patton in particular. He knew that Patton was just trying to help him, but his ego was getting in the way, along with his recently discovered feelings… Rejection was something that he was too used to, and he didn’t want to be rejected by someone he cared about more than himself.
He walked into the living room to get a drink and noticed a neat envelope with all too familiar writing on the front. Roman started to worry as he opened the envelope and began to read feeling the lump in his throat getting more and more cumbersome.
'I'm so thankful for my years spent with this fam-ily, for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow. I'll take the best of them with me. If I were to be honest with you: this isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson or because I don't want to walk around angry. Or maybe it's because I finally understand. There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept; things we don't want to know but have to learn; and people we can't live without but have to let go.'
He finished reading it for the third time and tried to steady his shaking hand. He bowed his head “No, Patton… No.” He muttered before running out of the room, calling out for Patton. He stood outside Patton’s room and knocked tentatively.
--
Patton heard Roman called out for him down the corridor but as much as he wanted to run to him, he ignored the calls and continued to pack a bag as slowly as he could. He heard a light knock on his door before a trembling voice spoke.
“Patton? Patt… Can I come in? Please?” Roman’s voice was scared… almost sad and Patton sighed before walking a little closer to the door.
“Ro… You’re not gonna change my mind.” Patton responded, not truly believing the words he spoke. He felt Roman sigh and put his body weight on the door.
“Patton please you can't leave... We need you... I need you...” Roman pleaded and Patton could feel his resolve crumbling with every word.
Patton rested his hand and the door handle desperately fighting the urge to open it, he was still hurt after all.
“... You've got a funny way of showing it.” Patton admitted, he needed to get those words across. He heard Roman chuckle bitterly and it made his heart hurt more, he didn’t want to hurt the one he lov- cared about… He couldn’t say the L word, not until he knew things would be different, that they could fix the small cracks and be happy.
Roman sighed yet again and rested his head on the door. “I know... I know I've sucked at showing it recently, but I can't lose you Patton... You're family, and I... I love you...” Patton’s breath hitched as soon as he heard those words.
“You do?” He asked softly, placing his hand on the door.
“Yes I always have... Always will...” Roman confirmed. Patton’s mind was made up. He opened the door and was met with Roman’s completely flushed face as he fumbled with his hands.
“If you want to leave and don't feel the same I can't stop you... I just needed to get that off my chest...” Roman stumbled over his words and Patton rested his hand on top of Roman’s gently.
“I do love you too, Ro... That's why it hurt so much when you were shutting me out and pushing me away... but I know we can be okay.” Patton reassured.
“I know I messed up Patton and I know I never should've done that but I'm sorry... I didn't know how much I was hurting you. From here on out we'll talk everything out no matter the issue.” Roman insisted and Patton felt a smile tug on his lips.
“... Do you promise?” Patton asked.
“I promise... Prince's Honor.” Roman raised his hand theatrically and Patton giggled in response.
“Alright Ro, I'm not going anywhere.” Patton stated and Roman smiled softly back at him.
“Thank you Patt.”
“Always.”

What a wonderful response we got for Day 1!! We went down memory lane with a lot of beautiful fic and art, and explored the "Indescribable" theme through (ironically!!) both art and music 🤓
We're now on Day 2 of our Hayden Young Week, and 3 days away from their birthday. Today's theme focuses on the people close to Hayden.
Their Friendships...people who have stood by Hayden through thick and thin, and who are valued by them.
Their Relationships - all the wonderful ways Hayden loves their partners and gives their all to them.
The Family - You could include anything! Their relationship with Sloane's mom Kim, any future children they may have...even their found family!
Any content is welcome - fic, art, meta, edit, moodboards, icons, headcanons...even simple screenshots of your favourite Hayden scene!! Our only requirement is that the content is original (no AI generated content pls!), the piece centers Hayden, and shows them in a positive light. You don't necessarily have to put up your work for the theme on the exact same day - you can always put it up later as long as you tag it for the day you meant for.
We will also be keeping a buffer week in case people are unable to finish the works during the week. You can also put up WIPs in case it doesn't get finished on time!!
Be sure to do the following when you make for posts for HYAW:
1. Use the tags #haydenyoungappreciationweek and #HYAW in your tags, along with the day you made the post for (HYAW Day 1, HYAW Day 2 etc).
2. Tag @haydenyoungappreciationweek, and hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes in your posts so we don't miss your content!
FAN CONTENT BLOGS regularly promote fandom content, and run some amazing weeks too! If you'd like to join in on some during HYAW, we would highly recommend these:
@choicesficwriterscreations - Fanfic and art welcome! They also have an LGBTQ archive so if you have any fics that highlight Hayden's queer identity, definitely let them know!! Here's a full list of the events they run!
@choicesmonthlychallenge, @choicesseptemberchallenge2023 and @choicesoctober - All content welcome! They have some amazing prompts for Sept and Oct.
@choicespride - Any and all content welcome, as long as it focuses on queer characters and themes! They are currently running their Bisexual Awareness Week.

Esplorando la Felicità: Connettersi con le Persone
Benvenuti al secondo giorno del nostro viaggio verso la felicità! Oggi ci immergeremo nell'importante tema delle relazioni umane e di come esse possano arricchire le nostre vite.
Come vi ho spiegato ieri, sto seguendo questo percorso di 10 giorni con l'aiuto prezioso della comunità Action for Happiness. Questa organizzazione si impegna a diffondere la gioia e il benessere attraverso azioni concrete e pratiche quotidiane.
Il tema di oggi è "Relating: Connect with people" (Relazione: Connettersi con le persone). Questo passo ci incoraggia a coltivare legami significativi con gli altri, poiché le relazioni soddisfacenti sono uno dei pilastri fondamentali della felicità.
Connettersi con gli altri può assumere molte forme: dall'abbracciare un amico durante un momento difficile, al condividere una risata con un familiare, fino a stabilire nuove amicizie e connessioni significative.
Le relazioni ci offrono sostegno emotivo, ci permettono di condividere le nostre gioie e le nostre sfide, e ci aiutano a sentirci meno soli nel mondo. Inoltre, uno studio condotto dalla Harvard Study of Adult Development ha dimostrato che le relazioni soddisfacenti sono fondamentali per una vita felice e appagante.
Quindi, come possiamo coltivare relazioni più profonde e significative nella nostra vita quotidiana?
1. Ascolto attivo: Dedicare del tempo a ascoltare veramente gli altri, senza giudicare o interrompere. Mostrare interesse genuino per ciò che gli altri hanno da dire può rafforzare i legami emotivi.
2. Esprimere gratitudine: Mostrare apprezzamento per le persone importanti nella tua vita. Un semplice "grazie" può fare la differenza e rafforzare i legami esistenti.
3. Essere autentici: Essere se stessi e permettere agli altri di conoscerti per quello che sei veramente. Le relazioni più significative si basano sulla sincerità e sull'onestà.
4. Fare atti di gentilezza: Offrire il tuo supporto e la tua gentilezza agli altri. Anche le azioni più piccole possono avere un impatto significativo sul benessere degli altri e sulle nostre relazioni.
5. Cercare la compagnia positiva: Cercare la compagnia di persone che ti ispirano, ti supportano e ti incoraggiano a crescere. Le relazioni positive possono alimentare la nostra felicità e il nostro senso di appartenenza.
Coltivare relazioni significative è un passo fondamentale verso la felicità duratura. Mentre proseguiamo nel nostro percorso di esplorazione, ricordiamo di coltivare le relazioni che ci nutrono e ci sostengono lungo il cammino.
A domani per il prossimo step del nostro viaggio verso la felicità!
