Okay so I was bored (THAT'S always a good start…), and have been having a Victorious marathon of all the great episodes (so pretty much ALL of them…).
And got a refreshed image of Cat and Robbie's relationship…
Yeah.
ONESHOT TIME WOOOOO!
Not really "WOOOOO" though…
Lol anyways please enjoy this fanfic that was originally inspired by the Pentatonix cover of Valentine (I mean, that's why it's the TITLE…)
Enjoy! (I hope.) :)
Sorry for being inactive… You know me lol.
If not then Heyyyyyyyyyyyy lol xD
Disclaimer: No I don't own Victorious. DUH.
Narrator's POV (but Cat's scene):
Cat was sitting on her bed, listening to happy music.
Sam had just left to go watch some movie with Jade.
Horror, Cat thought the theme was.
What else would Jade watch?
Cat had a playlist titled "My Happy Songs :D" and was singing along to every one.
Then a certain song came on.
She looked at her phone.
She was just listening to her and Jade's "Give it Up" performance someone recorded.
Must've been on shuffle.
Yep, she thought.
In seconds Robbie was singing to her through her headphones.
I think you're swe-e-e-e-e-ll…
I think you're swell.
She paused it.
She thought about how just three months ago she caught him singing that song to Sam.
Her song.
Cat looked at the date the playlist was made grimly.
July 3rd.
Two summers ago.
Robbie had just sung that song to her a few days before.
She pretended she had no idea it was for her.
She must be a good actress because he bought it.
A few months ago she thought it would all be fine.
That they would go on their first date- with meatballs, like he promised.
It never happened.
She kept making things up to push back the date.
Robbie figured out her little game and just gave up on it.
On her.
A few tears fell before she took a shuddery, choky breath.
Before she realized it she was silently crying.
The bad kind that hurt like chiz.
Cat thought of all of their great moments.
When he asked her to Prome.
But she couldn't go…
Then he declined her…
She wasn't thinking happy thoughts.
Or flat thoughts… Robbie looked so s-scared at the Wanko's Warehouse place when we shoved him past the pretty laser beams…
She loved when he ranted about her being amazing and adorable when she cried about probably not being good enough for Evan…
He was such a wazzbag.
Evan not Robbie.
Suddenly her phone buzzed- it was on vibrate.
Just like Robbie when he drinks coffee!
"Speak of the cute devil." Cat murmured, looking at her screen.

She sniffed, wiping them away.

Cat: UGH! :( no fair.
Robbie: yes it IS I need to check up on u
Cat: You mean wanna.
Robbie: no. I don't.
What?
Robbie…
It doesn't take long for the knocking.
"Cat!"
"Ugh-!" She grunted, angrily looking around her room for a place to hide.
The closet!
She shut the doors and squeezed herself behind the two shelves, as hard as it was to not knock anything over-, which she did.
Please don't find me…
~~Victorious~~
Narrator's POV (but Robbie's scene):
"I know the door's unlocked!" Robbie yelled, swinging the door open before walking in and slamming it shut. "Cat! Cat!"
He goes to her and Sam's bedroom.
No sign of her.
But wait… What about the closet?!
He noted the spilled items on the floor in front of it.
She hides in there all the time when we play hide 'n' seek!
"Here Kitty-kitty…" He said softly, approaching the closet.
He heard a soft gasp before total silence.
Robbie peeked around and saw her red velvet hair.
"Cat I can see you."
"No you can't! I'm… Invisible! Oooooooh I'm a ghost…" He heard her say.
"Cat!" He caught notice of her arm and grabbed it gently but pulled it to get her attention.
She squeaked. "Robbie no I'm not gonna talk you- can't make me…" Cat looked down.
He sighed. "Cat I just wanna know if you're alright."
Cat looked up, her soft brown eyes meeting his shiny ones. "Robbie I am-"
"That's a load of chiz Cat!" He yelled, making her wince. Robbie stopped for a split second at her reaction, but continued. "I can see your dried tears." He changed his tone to a nicer one.
"But…" He said softly. "That doesn't mean there isn't a story behind each one."
Cat sighed, looking down before looking at him again. "Robbie I-, I-I just…" She gasped, clearing her throat. "My throat's dry." She said hoarsely.
He nodded, guiding her to her bed, where he saw a water bottle when he came in.
"Here." He handed it to her.
"Thanks." She accepted, gulping it.
He sighed, taking the water bottle as she looked at him confusedly. "Cat if your throat hurts that's gonna make it even worse. Here. Do this." He said softly, taking the water and taking a little drink. "See?"
Cat didn't look away from his eyes.
And vice versa.
~~Victorious~~
Narrator's POV (but both "brains/scenes"):
Cat grabbed the water bottle, put the cap on and threw it onto Sam's bed.
"Why did you-?"
"I cried because…" She stopped talking.
"Cat…" Robbie quietly trailed off.
"I… I can't and-" Cat started nervously before whining.
"Cat." He said, holding her shoulders gently. "Please… Tell me what's wrong."
"I can't because we-" She stopped.
"Don't be so terrified." He soothed.
She sighed. "I cried because I run. I run from you and I run to you. It probably hurts you so dang much and I hurt because you hurt and Sam kissed you and you liked it and you've given up on me, on us, and I can't, I can't do this anymore Robbie!" She finished loudly, before quieting down. "I want things the way they were. Last year. When we were happy."
Robbie stayed silent for a long time, taking everything Cat had said in.
Finally he spoke. "…I'm sorry."
Cat looked down at her lap, a tear making its way down her face.
He wiped it away in a swift motion with his thumb that left her heart thumping wildly.
"Please don't cry."
She looked down again.
"Hey." He said softly, lifting her chin up to make her look him in the eye. "It's gonna be okay."
"No it isn't Robbie! Can't you see what's going on?! We're not together, you obviously hate me, we-"
"Where the hell would you get that idea?" Robbie interrupted, astounded. "I don't hate you; I could never hate you."
Cat smiled a little, batting her eyes. "Really?"
"You tell me." He said simply, shrugging before surprising her by leaning in.
She looked at him for a half-second before closing her eyes.
As soon as she felt his lips on hers, she wound her arms around his neck and lunged at him with a need she never knew she had.
A few seconds later they simultaneously backed away.
She looked past him in a shocked way before speaking. "Whoa daddy."
He wouldn't meet her eyes when she turned back to him. "Sorry... I don't know why I did that."
"But Robbie I-" she started.
He sighed quickly. "I gotta go." Robbie made his way out of her bedroom.
"Robbie don't go!" She yelped, following him and gripping his arm in a vice grip.
"Cat; please let go of my arm." He said calmly.
"No! I'm not gonna." She said defiantly.
She looked at him desperately before speaking as tears fell down her face rapidly. "What does this mean?!"
Robbie was silent for almost a minute.
"What does it ever mean?"
She sniffled, blinking her eyes at him. "Robbie..."
"Cat. Let go of me."
She looked straight at him, a bitter look on her face. "Fine! It's not like you've let go of me." She said sarcastically with acid in her tone.
He blinked, processing what she just said.
Cat sniffed, wiping her eyes. "If you really wanna leave me..." She gently let go of his arm. "Then go."
He blinked, looking at her. "Okay."
And he was gone.
Robbie caught sight of himself in the doorknob of the front door.
It was then he realized he was crying too.
~~Victorious~~
The next day was awkward.
It was Monday, Sinjin had started everyone's day off by having honey all over his face singing terribly, and Cat and Robbie hadn't spoke for two days.
Not what you'd expect.
Everyone knew they liked each other.
They were always together, smiling.
So when word got around that they'd stop speaking to each other, people were surprised.
They were used to Beck and Jade doing this but Cat and Robbie?
Inseparable.
Or so everyone thought.
Okay so this was GOING to be a one shot but I realized that it's way too long, plus I'm so close to being done with it and didn't want to keep everyone waiting so this is gonna be like three or four chapters :)
Just wanted to let everyone know I haven't DIED or given up on the Victorious fandom.
If you enjoyed this make sure to review :D
