Our hearts

Part one:

Ever since the first time Sportacus had found himself with Robbie in his arms the blond had found himself slowly but surely falling in love with the other man. The hero was well aware that falling in love with the villain was more than likely a very bad idea but his heart had not listened to reason. Sportacus wanted nothing more than to tell Robbie how he felt but the athletic man was worried about how the raven haired villain might react to such a confession. The hero had no desire to be mocked by the one he loved or for the villain to use the feelings he had for him to his advantage in their ongoing battle over Lazy Town. Reluctantly the blue eyed hero had eventually concluded that he couldn't risk telling Robbie that he was in love with him.

The hero had now kept the secret love of Robbie to himself for four years. During this time Sportacus had come to live for those rare moments when the tall slender villain would somehow end up in his arms. As much as the blond man loved those moments he also hated them because it was so very hard for him to resist the urge to kiss Robbie. The more time he spent around the grey eyed man the harder the hero found it to not say or do something which would completely give away to the villain how he felt about him. Sportacus found himself often wishing that Robbie were just an ordinary man and not the dark hearted villain of the town.

For the past few months though something had changed a feeling had crept in, it was one that Sportacus had been taught about during his time training to be a hero. The blond man had been sure he would never feel this happen to him of all people, he could feel Robbie's soul calling out to him this marked the fact that the two of them were fated to be together. The athletic hero couldn't help but wonder if the villain had noticed this yet, then again since Robbie had taken to avoiding him lately Sportacus suspected that the other man knew what had happened and was unsure what to make of the situation.

The hero let out a deep sigh he supposed that at some point he was going to have to find out if Robbie did know that they were fated to be together, however every time the hero thought about trying to do so he backed out at the last moment. Little did the blond man know that the decision of when he was going to discuss this new bond with the villain was going to be taken out of his hands by none other than the very man he was thinking about. As right at that moment the raven haired man's voice interrupted the hero's thoughts as he said to him very simply. "So we are tied together by fate."

Startled Sportacus's head shot up and his bright blue eyes met the mysterious grey ones of the other man. "What did you just say?" The hero asked not sure he had just really heard Robbie say what he had to him.

Robbie sighed and then repeated himself. "We are tied together by fate."

The blond gulped. "You'd noticed that?"

The tall man met the startled gaze of the other man as he spoke. "Yes, I was a little unsure how you would feel about being tied to me. So I had been avoiding you hoping either I was wrong about the situation or if I ignored it long enough it would go away. Despite my best efforts to let you have your freedom it would appear that the bond between us is only growing stronger every day."

Sportacus held the dark haired villains gaze as he spoke. "I'd noticed that it had been getting stronger too. You don't seem upset about the fact that we are fated to be together."

The slender man closed his eyes for a brief moment and let out another deep sigh. "It does not upset me but I would have thought this situation would disturb you more though."

"Why do you think that?" Sportacus asked him curiously.

Robbie answered him quietly. "Well for a start I am the villain of the town and we are two very different people. In fact we are almost complete opposites."

The blond man moved closer to the other man carefully invading his personal space knowing full well how protective of it the villain usually was. "You may be the villain but that isn't who you are, you are Robbie. Yes we are different but that might be the reason we are fate bonded you need me to make you more active and eat a little more healthily and I need you to help me learn to relax every so often."

The brows of the taller man rose. "Well that seems like a flimsy reason for us to be fate bound. Personally I would have thought that it had happened because we'd both fallen in love with the other and were determined for our own reasons not to say anything."

Sharply the bright blue eyes of the hero darted up to meet the enigmatic grey of the villain. Those grey eyes were watching him openly assessing, but at the same time gentle and afraid. "You love me?" Sportacus asked in an awed whisper hardly able to believe that he was saying these words to Robbie.

The taller man moved slowly giving the shorter plenty of time to stop him if he wanted to. Robbie's long fingered pale hand gently cupped one cheek of the athletic man's face and stroked it softly. As the raven haired man touched him like this the hero froze, Sportacus had not been expecting this kind of intimacy or gentleness from the villain. Taking the other man's stillness as a bad sign Robbie quickly let his hand drop from the blonds face and he stepped back from the hero. Swiftly the tall villain walked away from the still stunned athletic hero, muttering to himself darkly about his own stupidity as he did so.

Sportacus quickly shook himself out of his surprise and went after the one fate had given him to. As the blond hero rounded the corner that Robbie had walked round only moments before the villain was gone as he so often was. The athletic man was left wondering once again how the other man could manage these constant vanishing acts of his with such ease.

The blond hero let out a deep sigh, he knew the grey eyed man well enough to know that Robbie would keep a distance from him now the villain thought he had done something that Sportacus didn't like. This left the athletic man wondering how on earth he was supposed to tell Robbie he had been surprised but not repulsed by his touch if the slender man was going to avoid him as though he had plague. The athletic man slumped down into a nearby bench and sat staring at the floor, he was found like this an hour later by Ziggy who concerned for the hero had run off to fetch the other children of the town.

Soon the youngsters were all gathered round the seated hero, they were all worried about him, it wasn't like Sportacus to be so despondent about anything let alone so quiet. Stephanie was the one who found her bravery first, the pink haired young woman approached the blond, gently she touched one of the still hero's shoulders and spoke to him softly. "What's the matter Sportacus?"

"I accidently ruined something I shouldn't have with someone I care about and now I don't know how to make them understand that what happened was because they surprised me not because I disliked it. Then there is the fact that the person I need to talk to about all of this will hide away from me because of the way I reacted to what happened."

Stephanie frowned with concentration as she let her mind go over the hero's words for a moment before speaking to him. "The only person around here I know who stays hidden a lot when they are worried is Robbie, is that who we are talking about Sportacus?" The hero gave his friend a glum nod. "I see, well we knew something was going on between the two of you."

Startled by this the hero looked up at his friend. "You knew?"

"Well we didn't know what it was exactly but things between the pair of you have been strained, Robbie keeps avoiding you and he hasn't tried to hurt you or get rid of you lately. So what's going on exactly?" She asked sitting down on the bench next to the dejected looking hero and looking at him with concern.

"It's a little complicated but I'll try to explain as best as I can ok?" They all gave Sportacus encouraging nods and he started to explain thing to the children. "Heroes and villains are known to form a special bond every so often however it's quite rare for it to happen. Usually we bond to our own kind but every so often it will happen that a hero or heroine and a villain or villainess form the bond. It's called a bond of fate or a fate bond so named because the original bond was supposedly performed on a hero and villainess who were truly in love to stop them ever being separated by fate it's self."

"Wow so Robbie and you have that bond?" Trixie asked her eyes wide.

The hero gave her a nod. "Yes, it's still new but it's getting stronger every day. It's like our souls call to each other, but eventually we will always know where the other is, if they are in danger and what they are feeling."

It was Ziggy who asked the next question. "If the two of you are fate bonded does that mean you truly love each other?"

Sportacus blushed slightly as the young man asked him this question. "I don't know about that but I do love Robbie and he does love me...That is why I need to talk to him to clear up that fact between us so we can move forward together."

"Well we could always try to lure Robbie out." Pixel suggested his eyes dancing with the light of an idea.

Stephanie instantly noticed this and spoke to the computer loving young man. "What have you got in mind Pixel?"

Happily he explained to the others what he was thinking. "Well we could start with something simple make a lot of noise that usually gets Robbie's attention if that doesn't work then we use your bond to our benefit."

The athletic man looked at Pixel with some concern. "What do you mean use the bond exactly?"

The younger man shot the elder a smile. "Well if Robbie can feel you then you just need to focus your feelings towards him surely that would get him to come and talk to you and if that doesn't work you'd just have to get in trouble somehow in order to make Robbie come out of hiding. I have to admit the idea of Robbie having to save you for once is rather amusing."

Sportacus gulped at Pixels suggestions but had to admit they all had merit. "That sounds a little too underhanded. Though making a lot of noise sounds fine to me."

Stephanie placed her hands to her waist. "We are dealing with a villain being slightly underhanded is probably the best way to deal with him but your right we should start with jut seeing if we can annoy him into coming out."

The hero watched the children dash off hope and fear warring in his heart, hope that this would work and fear that their actions would drive Robbie further into hiding. In the end Sportacus knew that all he could do was pray that this worked and that they would not have to use any of Pixels other plans to get Robbie to come out of hiding and talk to him again about their bond and what had happened between them today.
