Hikarru: Welcome, readers, to my third Law of Ueki fanfic! This piece was written for SwanDark. She requested for me to write her a Robert X Marilyn fic and here it is! Hope you all like it.
Chapter One: Website Anon
"I don't want this," Robert hissed through his teeth at his best friend, "I don't even want a girlfriend."
"Dude," Sano began, "You need this. Trust me."
Robert huffed. "Says the guy who is constantly telling me that having a girlfriend would 'tie you down'."
"You're different from me, Robert. Girls actually like me."
"Are you saying girls don't like me?!"
"I said nothing. You came up with that on your own."
Robert swiveled in his office chair. He did not understand why Sano would actually want to do this for him. Wasn't he Sano's 'wingman' or whatever that was called?
"Done!" Sano shouted proudly as he moved away from the computer monitor.
Robert glanced at the damage Sano had done on the computer and gaped. "You didn't!"
"Yes I did! I know you so well that I put down all your hobbies!"
"You put that I am a perfectionist and I like to nag and complain!"
"See? It totally fits."
Robert kicked the boy in the shin. "Change it. Now."
Sano pouted and sighed. "Fine, but I'm leaving the perfectionist part in."
"Fine." Robert agreed.
Sano did a quick change and showed Robert.
"I am so not 'ill-tempered'."
"I'm not changing it again." Sano said, "Besides, most girls don't like ill-tempered guys."
Robert sighed as he scrolled over his profile. The website Anon had become very popular with the kids at school. It was a website that people used to talk to anonymous strangers or whatever. It sounded totally bogus, but all his classmates had profiles on it. It was kind of like Omegle, except with profiles and screen names. Sano had given Robert the most weirdest(in Robert's part) screen name ever made: IdealsIntoReality.
"Why the hell…" Robert glared at his friend, who gave a sheepish smile in return.
"I thought it suited you," Sano said in defense, "Just like mine suits me."
"What's yours?"
"Iron-ide."
"That literally makes no sense."
"It's because I'm made of iron. If you know what I'm saying."
Robert's eye twitched menacingly. He swiveled around again to face the monitor. There was a doubt in Robert's mind that he would get any messages.
"Dude, add me as a friend," Sano said.
"Get out," Robert replied.
Sano was about to protest when Robert swerved around and gave him a sadistic smile that promised pain if he stayed. Sano put his hands up and said, "Alright. I'm out. Call me later?"
"Call you later," Robert said, feeling like a girl for having to say it. After Sano left, Robert was left to stare at his anonymous profile. He sighed and shut down his computer. No one would even message him anyway, right?
…
His alarm clock was so annoying as its ring boomed throughout the room. Robert groaned as he reached over to slam the clock across the wall. The smash woke him up fully as he jumped up and realized what he had done.
"Crap," Robert muttered under his breath. He got up and got dressed as normal; he'd tell his father about the clock later.
Once he was dressed, he grabbed his backpack and ran down the stairs. Apparently, he never noticed his untied shoelaces, because he tripped on them and continued down the stairs in a rolling pattern, which ended with his face on the ground.
Robert heard laughter and rolled onto his back, his legs still on the stairs. The kitchen was directly to the left and Margarette, Robert's father, was at the table sipping his tea. He laughed when he saw Robert fall face-first on the ground.
With 'I-Hate-The-World' on loop in his head, Robert got off the floor, emitting a painful moan in the process.
"Rough morning?" Margarette asked his son.
"Gee, I don't know," Robert said sarcastically while he bit down viciously on a poor piece of toast.
Margarette ignored the sarcasm as he continued to read on his Kindle.
Robert finished off his toast. "I'm off to school."
"Don't fall down again," Margarette laughed.
It was Robert's turn to ignore his father as he bolted out the door and ran straight to school. Running really wasn't Robert thing, so after a good minute, he slowed down. Luckily, his classmate, Ai Mori, was just a little ways ahead. Robert sped up to catch up with her.
"Hey, Ai," Robert greeted the blue haired teen.
"Hey, Robert," Ai greeted back, "How's your day so far?"
Robert showed her the bruise on his head, which made her laugh. "It's not funny, Ai!"
"Sorry," Ai apologized, "Let me guess. You fell down the stairs?"
Robert nodded. "Because of my shoelaces."
"The ones that are untied right now?"
"Yea- WHOA!" Robert yelped as he tripped again.
Ai laughed again as she helped Robert onto his feet. And as an act of kindness, that Ueki must have rubbed off onto her, she bent down and tied Robert's shoes properly.
"Thanks," Robert said, "Ueki is rubbing off on you."
"Be happy I even tied your shoes," Ai huffed, "Hey. Have you heard of Anon?"
"Yeah. Sano signed me up for it last night."
"I signed up for it last night too! Though it was Rinko who told me to do it. You should add me. I already have Ueki as a friend and Sano too."
"Alright. You can be the first person I add."
"Sweet. I only joined because I saw some juicy gossip on this one girl's page. I had to get in on the action."
Robert was about to comment on her meddlesome ways, but before he could, Ai spoke once more.
"There's Ueki." Ai waved to her best friend and soon-to-be boyfriend, as she puts it. "Sorry to leave you, Robert."
"It's alright," Robert said. "I'll just look for Sano."
Ai nodded and ran ahead towards Ueki. She had the widest smile on her face as she walked next to him.
Robert smiled at the moment, but that smile was short lived.
"Hey there, best friend!" an arm slung around his and a voice said in his ear, "What's got you smiling?"
"Not you," Robert replied.
"Ouch." Sano made a fake crying sound, "Your words wound me so deep."
"Is that a line you use to get girls who reject you?"
"Maybe. Anyway, did you add me on Anon yet?"
"Nope."
"Am I gonna be your first friend or not?!"
"I promised Ai that I'd add her first."
Sano made another fake cry and mumbled something about Robert being a 'heartless bastard'. Robert ignored this, just like he always did.
…
School passed by uneventfully and Robert returned home as usual. His father had gone off to who-knows-where like he usually does and Robert got on his computer as usual. The only thing that was unusual was that Robert had checked Anon.
"Damn. Ai never gave me her screen name." Robert took out his cell phone to ask her for it.
Ai. What's your screen name on Anon? ~Robert
Robert's phone beeped and he read Ai's reply.
You gonna add me? It's LoveLoveGlasses ~Ai
Robert raised a brow, but decided to let it go. He sent a "Thanks" and searched her on Anon. He got what he assumed was her and clicked the 'Add to friends' button. He then sent a message to Ai through his phone.
Got my request? ~Robert
Her reply came a few second later with:
Yup. By the way, if you were wondering, Rinko came up with the name. ~Ai
"Wasn't wondering," Robert said to himself. He didn't write Ai back because he felt that it was pointless. He scrolled over her page and laughed at her hobbies.
"Meddling and stalking," Robert muttered to himself, "Everyone will know this is you, Ai."
Robert then searched for Sano's. Robert scoffed when he read Sano's hobbies, which were relaxing in the hot springs and chatting with girls. Robert debated on whether to add him or not. He decided to add him just so that he wouldn't have to hear Sano's whining tomorrow.
Not a moment after he clicked the Add button, a messaged appeared in his inbox. Curious, Robert clicked on it and viewed the message.
TimeExpander: Nice screen name.
Robert raised a brow and replied.
IdealsIntoReality: Can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or not.
"Who is TimeExpander?" Robert mused, but as he went to look at their profile, another message appeared in his inbox. Clearly this person was online at the same time he was.
TimeExpander: A simple thanks would have sufficed.
IdealsIntoReality: I didn't know if you were being sarcastic or not.
TimeExpander: I like you. Let's get to know each other.
Robert was skeptical that this would end well, but he decided to humor this person. Before he knew it, time had passed and the clock read 4 AM.
End of Chapter One
Hikarru: I don't own Omegle and I came up with Anon on my own. I don't know if there is such a site. Their screen names are closely related to their powers in the show. What did you think of it? Please review. Reviews helps me get through my horrid life.
