was thinking about Lukas surprised Roman with cake and candles but Roman tripped and dropped the cake but they still had a great time

I actually see Lukas as being the clumsy one - he’s not used to dating/being around someone that much smaller than him and his giant albatross arms keep getting in the way.

He’s knocked over all of Romans nice bedroom lamps when he was stretching, tripped over his tiny shoes more than once (they’re hard to see when you’re over six feet tall) and had to buy his own mugs due to Romans all being too small for his massive hands.

Lukas would definitely try and resurrect the cake if he dropped it though - they’re not eating floor cake.

how RomanLukas handle jealousy?

To be honest I think they’d both be an absolute nightmare when jealous! They're both so needy. But they’d only pull the jealously card when they’re first trying to get together, there’s no need when they both realise that they only have eyes for each other. 

For Lukas I can see him poking Roman a little bit, maybe by mentioning Shiv or talking about an ex, but not too much. He wants to know that Roman is into him, like really into him, but he’s also aware that Rome still hasn’t fully accepted who he is yet. Trying to make him jealous on top of everything else would send him running for the hills. 

Roman on the other hand would find being able to make Lukas jealous pretty thrilling. Lukas gets a little nutty when he’s jealous, he tries not to be but there’s something about Roman talking to other guys that gets him all riled up. Unable to help himself, Roman throws himself into flirting with disgraced presidential candidate Mencken. He’s never had this type of control over another person before and he can’t seem to help himself. It’s kind of fun watching Lukas get increasingly wound up. 

But inevitably he takes it too far and ends up hurting Lukas’ feelings, badly. Now he’s got a sad Swede moping around all over the place, making Roman feel all his stupid feelings and realise that he’s potentially fucked everything up. Initially he tries to gloss over everything so they can go back to sending each other dumb memes, playing video games all night and being weirdos together. Except Lukas barely responds which frustrates Roman because now he has to actually go and apologise and take responsibility for once. Impulse takes over and before he’s even thought anything through, he’s on a PJ to Tokyo where Lukas has gone on a business trip. Except when he lands Roman realises that he has no clue where Lukas is, let alone what hotel he’s in. He ends up texting Shiv to beg for assistance but she can only give him the street name so he ends up trudging around five different hotels before he gets the right one.

The receptionist eventually takes pity on him after Roman tearfully explains that he can’t call Lukas to tell him he’s here because he’s supposed to be apologising and needs to say it in person. After a quick text from Oskar, she lets him into Lukas room where Roman intends to stay awake and practice his apology in the mirror with the note cards he brought with him so he wouldn’t forget anything. Lukas returns hours later to find Roman passed out on his bed surrounded by his apology notecards looking travel worn and exhausted. Instead of waking him up, or asking what he’s doing here, Lukas throws a blanket over the pair of them and falls asleep. In the morning he’s treated to the full rendition of Roman’s Apology World Tour and they decide that trying to make each other jealous isn’t the best way forward. However ordering room service together is which then becomes their official first date.

I loveeee your account and the way you think about Roman and Lukas. How do you think they are and act when it’s just a random Thursday at home? How they spend their domestic time together?

Awww thank you, that's very kind of you to say. :)

I adore domestic RomeLukas! They’re just so snuggly together. 

A random Thursday would be spent at home together in their cosy little bubble.

They don’t really do dinner out too much because they both struggle with food, Roman with his ED and Lukas with his sensory issues. Plus being at home means that Lukas can be in his comfy clothes and Rome can lay all over the floor instead of sitting in a chair. They either order in or try and cook something together. Or rather Lukas cooks and Roman reads him out the recipe because he can’t even boil water sufficiently. They then end up arguing over measurements because Lukas doesn’t know what Roman means by a cup of something. Which cup? Because Roman has three different sizes in his cupboard and the imperial system is stupid.

They don’t really talk about work over dinner, although Lukas will tell Roman all the idiotic things Tom said throughout the day or when Oskar yelled at Greg over using the wrong recycling bin. Mostly they talk about Roman’s art projects or the gallery he’s preparing to open. It’s so far removed from Lukas’ line of work that he finds it fascinating and wants to know everything, right down to the type of paint brushes Roman uses. At first Roman found this quite stressful because nobody was ever interested in what he did, which resulted in him giving up on something before he's even got going. Now he loves coming home to show Lukas his sketch books or explain to him all the variations of painting techniques.

Once dinner is finished, they settle into their favourite spot on the couch, curled up together under a big woollen blanket Lukas brought back from Sweden. Neither are big drinkers and they only really have alcohol when they go out to dinner, but they might share a beer or two. Or Lukas will make them both a big cup of tea before bed. They alternate between who gets to pick what they watch and as it’s Roman’s turn he’s insisted on Grease, appalled that the man he shares a bed with has never seen it. Musicals as usually a no go due to them being too much of sensory overload but Roman knows all about that so he trusts that it should be ok.

Except Lukas just doesn’t get it. Why are they singing? Why are 30 year olds playing teenagers? Why are they in a flying car at the end? He voices all these questions to Roman who, far from being annoyed, is excited that he finally has someone to unload all his film trivia onto. He's not entirely sure that Lukas gets it but they've agreed to watch it again tomorrow night.

It’s late and Lukas has to be up at four for a meeting so they get ready for bed - still talking about musicals and Lukas still being confused by them. Roman has to sleep with one of the lamps on which doesn't bother Lukas too much because he has to sleep with a white noise machine on, which they both have a good laugh about. They had to get a bigger bed so that Lukas's feet don't dangle off the end which makes for a very cosy, cuddly way to wind down before they both drop off to sleep.

Cons: You have to invite your least favourite employe to your wedding because he’s also your new husbands brother in law. 😑

Pros: You’re firing him when you get back from honeymoon. 👍

[tyranasauruslex]

A friendly PSA - if you come into my ask inbox saying unnecessary and cruel things about someones girlfriend and expecting me to agree with you, you picked the wrong blog. You sound unhinged.

When you try and make your crush jealous by doing PDA with his irritating employee and the nepo baby assistant he hates:

Lukas when Shiv sends him the picture:

😢

“Why, are you jealous?” 💀

I’m so obsessed with this edit.

#ROMANLUKAS: i fuck him cause i miss you

I saw these pics of ASkars and immediately thought of Roman taking candid snaps of Lukas because he’s constantly giving “model”.

[tyranasauruslex]

I love the idea of Kendall still being in his eldest boy era and trying to get some dirt on Lukas. He tries to go after Papa Matsson but any mention of him has been scrubbed from the internet and Mama Matsson is a retired primary schoolteacher, not exactly riveting for gossip.

Then he hears on the grapevine that Lukas has been romancing someone - flowers are being sent, dinner reservations for two and a bar tab that has two people’s worth of drinks on it. He hires a photographer to sneak some pictures with the intention of spreading them over social media and pays a hefty sum for them. The result is disappointing.

Lukas is so tall that it was hard for the pap to get both him and whoever he was canoodling with in the same shot.

There’s one where it’s obvious that he’s bending over to kiss someone, but he’s so tall that he obscures the other person from view. Another is of him handing his coat over to the unknown person but, again, his coat may as well be a tent and it once again blocks the other person from view. Every other picture is of Lukas towering over everyone or with his friends, who are equally as tall, leaving the as of yet unidentified romantic interest hidden from view.

So now Kendall is down a few hundred grand and all he’s got to show for it is multiple pictures of the back of Lukas’ head and the knowledge that he’s into short people.

Can we talk about the Lukas x Roman height difference?

Yes, yes we can.

Standing kisses require serious skill. Lukas has to hunch over like Quasimodo, whilst Roman is doing his best prima ballerina tip-toe attempt...it's not comfy. With almost a foot of height difference between them, there was only so far either of them can stretch. That's why laying down kisses, countertop kisses and couch kisses are preferred.

They can't borrow each others clothes. If Lukas sleeps over then he has to stay in his pants because Roman doesn't even own a pair of socks that would fit him, not that Roman is complaining. In contrast, every item of Lukas' clothes looks like a dress on Roman.

Talking in loud bars is awkward. Roman's voice is shot by the end of the night after all the yelling, trying to get his random (yet brilliant!) musings up to the summit of Mount Lukas. Even if Lukas bends down like a giraffe, Roman has to get on his tip toes and they still don't quite meet in the middle. In the end they devise a system of hand signals when one of them wants to leave or another drink is required.

Going on a walk together is like watching a chihuahua keep up with a mastiff. Lukas being outdoorsy means that they end up on a hike more often than not. Whilst Lukas steps over fallen trees with ease, Roman has to scramble over them like he was back on the assault course at the stupid military academy. By the time they get to the end of the trail Roman feels like he’d run half a marathon just trying to keep up with Lukas and his stupid long legs. Going back down is easier, Lukas’s giant feet cleared a pretty decent path, and Roman allowed him to assist him in climbing over a huge bolder that blocked their path. And he got a foot rub when they finally made it back to their cabin.

Also the fact that Roman climbed all the way up onto that rock and Lukas still had to lean over is giving me life. Also, can we agree that when Roman gets up to his eye level, Lukas knows he's done something bad?

How do Roman and Lukas spend Valentines day over the years?

Their first Valentines Day they end up spending together by accident. Roman doesn’t have a job anymore so the days of the week are meaningless to him, whilst Lukas has to run on 7 different times zones and get by on fifteen minute naps. They're having their weekly takeout and movie night and it’s only when the restaurant they ordered from includes some Valentines Day cookies that they realise what day it is. Dubbing it “Broentines Day” they both laugh off their silly mistake, both fearing the other one will think that they’re a weirdo because they would much rather be with each other than finding some random to sleep with on Valentines.

Their second Valentines Day together is their first one as an official couple so Roman goes all out and fills his apartment with flowers and candles for a romantic night in. Except the mixture of scents sends Lukas into sensory overload and he’d spends the rest of the evening laying on the bathroom floor in the dark flighting off a migraine, whilst Roman blasts the air con to try and get rid of the smell. 

They’re apart for their third one due Roman flying back to the states for Shiv Jr's birthday and Lukas needing to be in Japan - he’s trying hard not to be a needy, clingy bitch but this about tips him over the edge. It's a straight flight from Japan and he has a private jet... Fifteen hours later Lukas is back in New York where he manages to sneak back to their apartment without Roman noticing and cobble together a romanic dinner for the pair of them. Roman returns home to find Lukas passed out on the sofa, where he remains for the next sixteen hours until Roman has to wake him up for his return flight to Japan. 

The forth is spent in hospital due to Greg lying that he could ski, loosing control and then ploughing into the back of Lukas, Oskar and an unfortunate German tourist at the Team Away Day. The result is a badly broken leg and being air lifted to hospital for Lukas and Roman spending the seven hour flight from the states in tears because the last time he’d gotten a call like this, it was because his dad was dead. By the time Valentines Day rolls around neither of them remember - Lukas is still completely delulu due to all the pain medication and Roman has been living off hospital jello and sleeping on a plastic chair. They have a re-do a few months later but Lukas is still hobbling around on crutches so the mini break to Fiji they planned is out. Instead they order takeout and prank call Greg by pretending to be recruitment firms who have heard he's about to become unemployed.

Their fifth one is their first one spent as Mr and Mr which Roman spends most of his time in tears because he'd resigned himself to a life of lonely misery, not living his best life with his Swedish giant of a husband.

any valentines romanlukas prompts?? who’s more of a sweet tooth and one doesn’t?

I love questions like this :)

Flowers

This is Lukas's domain, although he'd rather give them than receive them - dead flowers are a bit too much of a trigger for him. Their first year he sticks with tradition and opts for giant bunch of Swedish roses. The second year they spend apart so he spends weeks researching different flowers and their meanings, sending Roman a huge bunch of Carnations, Roses, Camellia and peonies. It becomes their thing after that - Lukas doing his flower arranging and Roman having to guess the meaning behind them.

Chocolates

Roman's ED is still living large so Lukas never buys him chocolates or any kind of sweets. Lukas doesn't really like chocolate either so it's not like they can share a box of chocolate between them. He will, however, devour any type of gummy sweet or salt liquorice but ones that you can only get in Sweden. Roman enlists Oskar to sneak a suitcase full of them back to New York so he can gift Lukas a Swedish sweet box for Valentines Day.

Card

I don't think either of them bother tbh. They just send each other dumb Valentines Day memes instead.

Special Gift

Whenever Roman mentions something he likes or is into, Lukas makes a note of it in his phone so he can go back to it later to figure out what the perfect gift will be. He gets a bit obsessive at times because Roman only deserves the best, as well as something he actually likes for once. Shiv thinks that this is "serial killer behaviour" but thats only because Tom got her a generic handbag for the firth year in a row whilst Roman is freaking out over his new pottery class lessons.

Now that he's out of a job Roman enters his crafting era and Lukas gets a variety of handmade gifts for Valentines Day. The first year is a little cartoon flip book, the second is a Dala Horse made out clay, the third is a hand knitted jumper, forth is a painting of the infamous fjord and the fifth is a collage he made out of their wedding flowers. Lukas keeps them all in a specially designated area of his home office that nobody is allowed to go near or touch.

[tyranasauruslex]

I really enjoy your "Lukas is autistic" head cannons. I know he'd have a special interest in something that he could share with Roman.

I will fight anyone that doesn't agree that Lukas is autistic so I'm glad you agree :)

I feel like it's a given that Lukas's main special interest is about computers and coding which Roman doesn't really get. He tries, but it just goes way over his head when Lukas starts talking about computer languages and other nerdy stuff. Then after a very stressful week of socialising, Lukas asks Roman to put the Moomins on for him so he can decompress from underneath his nest of blankets.

Roman: What the fuck is a Moomin? Those weird hippo things?

Lukas: Ok first of all the Moomins are not hippos, they're trolls and second of all fuck you because they are the greatest fictional creation of all time.

Then Roman is treated to an almost four hour in depth explainer about the history of the Moomins. And that it was Lukas' dad that first got him into them by reading him the stories when he was little and then watching the cartoons with him.

When they head back to Lukas's house in Sweden, Roman finds that Lukas's special interest doesn't stop at watching old episodes on repeat, he's got memorabilia which Roman finds adorably dorky. He starts buying Lukas Moomin related things to add to his collection like patterned socks and anything he can find on eBay.

I found another cut scene from Succession…

Roman, trying to flirt: I still hate you, you big tree. 😉

Lukas’ autistic brain: Oh. Ok then. I’ll just leave and be sad forever.

Roman: Wait… what??

Lukas: ☹️

Roman: 🤨

[tyranasauruslex]

My one takeaway from that pic of Roman's apartment is that RoRo and Lukas would fuck nasty in front of that window.

Given Romans past history with windows, you’re not wrong OP.

[tyranasauruslex]

RomeLukas furniture shopping would be the best. Roman having random bits of paper with things like “Cosy Vibe”, “Big Enough For Giant” and “Colourful” written on them, whilst Lukas creates a furniture code. Neither of them bothers to measure anything and instead they go by “Can Lukas fit on it?” and “Can Roman get on it?” when choosing something.

Lukas having oddly specific, and unrealistic, expectations of said sofa whilst Roman just wants something colourful and fun because he’s never been allowed to pick anything for himself. They end up with a high tech, garish monstrosity of a sofa that everyone else hates but they’re absolutely obsessed with.

I'm kind of obsessed with all of Roman's furniture being on the small side and if Lukas ever stayed over, he wouldn't fit on any of it. He'd just be permanently laid out on the floor or bringing his own pillows because everything at Rome's is child sized to him. And Roman, who is used to having more than enough room in his bed, has now got Lukas's giant limbs to contend with.

[tyranasauruslex]

Lukas trying to sit on that tiny chair... his knees would be up to his ears. He keeps accidentally knocking the lamps over because his arms are too long and he can't take a shower because the shower head only reaches chest height. The bed situation isn't too bad because Lukas is used to not fitting anywhere until he rolls over to give Roman some more room and ends up falling on the floor.

But then the reverse is everything in Lukas' house is built specifically for a tall person - all the kitchen counter tops and cabinets have been raised so Roman can't even get a mug down without having to ask for help, the bath tub is fit for a giant so he almost drowns trying to get out and he literally has to climb up onto Lukas' massive bed to get in it.
