What can I say I ran across a whole folder of fictions that I had thought long lost most needed a lot of work but I'm hoping you will all enjoy the end result of my effort of saving them and putting them up here. As always I don't own anything here, man on man love angst right from the start you've been warned. Please don't comment on spelling and grammar I have dyslexia I do the best I can.

Pieces of his shattered heart.

Part one:

It began with Sportacus losing a wager to Pixel that he could build the kids a new tree house quicker than the young man could design one on his computer at home. The athletic man's forfeit for losing was to spend the day dressed as a woman. The hero hated it but the kids where absolutely loving it, they had enjoyed every moment of dressing the hero up so that he now wore a long blue dress and flat blue dolly shoes. Sportacus's crystal hung on a chain round his neck, they had given him a long blond curly wig, the blue eyed man had pulled it into a pony tail and Stephanie had pinned it up for him with a blue and white hair grip. Pixels insistence they were all to call Sportacus Sophia for the day, the technological obsessed young man had even supplied the athletic hero with a device that changed his voice to sound female and made his moustache vanish, all three of these things were making the usually placid man feel as though if he didn't get away from the children soon he might actually lose his temper.

Now the blond decided he needed a few moments away from the youngsters he spoke to them. "Excuse me I just need a walk."

"Okay!" The kids called back not able to help the giggles that escaped them as he talked in his new female accented voice.

Sportacus strode off or at least strode of as quickly as the dress would allow him the athletic man quickly learnt that dresses made striding of any kind difficult. Still Sportacus was determined to walk off some of his anger at the situation he now found himself in. Half way through his walk just as the blond rounded a corner he tripped on the dress and started to fall, but before the hero could hit the ground or catch himself someone else caught him. "Goodness that was quite the tumble, are you alright miss?" Asked a male voice and instantly the blond knew without looking at who had caught him that voice belonged to none other than the usually grouchy town villain. Sportacus found himself praying with all his might that the other man wouldn't recognise him like this because the athletic man was sure that if he did the villain would never let him forget about it.

The hero was surprised when with a show of strength and gentleness he wouldn't usually associate to the other man the villain helped him to his feet. Quickly the athletic man set about striating himself up and thanking the other man for his assistance. "Thank you for helping me. I think I'm fine thank you for asking, nothing but a bruised ego."

Robbie smiled softly at him. "I'm glad you aren't hurt. Are you new in town?"

"Yes I'm new. I'm here visiting my cousin Sportacus in Lazy Town for the day." The hero said coming up with this explanation quickly and at the same time feeling very relieved that Robbie hadn't seemed to recognised him.

"Ah that explains why you have the same accent as Sportacus as well as the fact that you are dress mostly in blue. What is your name miss?"

"Sophia and who are you?"

The grey eyes man sighed softly before answering that question. "I'm Robbie and now you know that you probably won't want to talk to me any longer."

"Why wouldn't I want to talk to you now I know your name?"

The tall man looked down at his shoes twitching nervously. "I'm sure your cousin would have told you all about me I am the town villain."

"Oh you are that Robbie! You do not seem to be so bad today." The hero said to him softly enjoying this side of the other man he had never seen before.

Robbie chuckled slightly at her words. "I wasn't always bad and for some reason you seem to have brought that good and gentlemanly part of me back to the surface after many years of it lying dormant."

Instantly intrigued by this confession from the taller man the hero couldn't help but ask the next question. "What happen to make you like the way you are normally then?"

The grey eyes of the tall man filled with sadness and he let out a sigh. "I fell in love."

There was such deep pain in his voice that the hero felt himself fill with pity for the other man. "Did she break your heart?"

"It was a he and yes he broke my heart. I wasn't even a villain at the time it all happened, I fell in love with number nine the hero here in Lazy Town before your cousin. When I confessed my feelings for him he rejected me, he told me in no uncertain terms that he didn't love me, no one ever could, he said that I wasn't good enough for him and I would never be good enough for anyone. It broke me and I became the villain you see now. I became this way to drive him away from town and then I set about keeping other hero's away from town so no one else would have to suffer the way I have. I made the people here lazy because I knew if they were not active then they had less of a chance to get into trouble, and if they didn't get into trouble then a new hero was less likely to be drawn here to cause them or me pain."

The hero had never heard this history behind the town villain before and couldn't help but feel moved by it. "Is this why you hate my cousin so much and want to get rid of him so badly because you don't want others to be hurt the way you were?"

Robbie let out another sigh and gave the blond a nod. "Yes it is part of the reason you see in a way, he reminds me to much of nine, I don't want someone to be hurt by your cousin the way I was by nine. I make up other reasons but under them all that's part of the truth. You know I've not spoke to someone like this for years, it's strange somehow I feel I can trust you, it's like I've always known you."

"I'm glad you trust me and I have to say I feel the same way, it is almost as if we have always been friends. So do you like my cousin really despite what you say and do?"

A slow smile spread over the villains face. "Yes, despite the way I act towards him I like Sportacus, I like him in the same way I did nine that's the other part of my truth the other thing I have to hide. Before you ask why I have to hide it, the answer to that is because I know better than to admit that I love your cousin to his face with my hart broken the way it is."

"Maybe if you gave my cousin a chance he could heal you, Sportacus might even have feelings of his own for you." The hero found himself saying to the other man, trying not to blush as he said this to Robbie.

"I very much doubt that. I'm to hurt to trust again, let alone tell anyone I love them again. As for Sportacus loving me or caring for me that's not likely in the least. I think if there is anyone in this town that he could love then I'd say it would have to be Stephanie they are perfect for each other."

Slowly the hero came to stand beside the man in purple. "I can understand your concerns Robbie. My cousin wouldn't hurt you, as for him loving Stephanie I can tell you here and now that won't happen."

"Oh why wouldn't that happen?"

Sophia looked left and right before leaning into the villain and whispering to him. "Just like you Sportacus is gay."

Robbie's grey eyes went wide and his dark brows shot up. "Oh I had no idea. I'm sure Sportacus would not hurt me deliberately, but you have to admit he is a rather clueless innocent. I can't help but think that love could be standing right in front of Sportacus with a big label on it and he wouldn't notice. I'm glad I got to meet you Sophia, I'd offer to escort you to your cousin but he'd think I'd done something terrible to you so I'll let you get on and make my exit before he turns up."

The villain went to walk away but Sportacus was enjoying talking to him like this and called out after him. "Wait!"

Startled Robbie turned back to the blond woman. "Yes what is it Sophia?"

"What if I spoke to Sportacus for you? Would you let me tell him your story Robbie?"

The blue eyed man watched the look of surprise pass over the other man's face and couldn't help but feel for the villain. "He wouldn't believe you Sophia. I wish he would but I am sure that whatever nine told him about me and what he has seen of me will have cemented your cousin's opinion of me by now."

"Isn't there some way I could show him your story is true?" Sportacus asked Robbie softly.

The raven haired villain looked thoughtful for a few moments. "Yes there may well be a way."

"Really there is?" The shorter man asked with excitement.

Robbie held his hand out to Sophia. "Come with me I'll show you."

The blond hero didn't hesitate he took the hand offered to him by the other man carefully the slender villain guided the lady along. Sportacus noticed he was careful not to go to fast and that Robbie would also avoid things which might prove to cause him to trip. The shorter man also had to admit he liked the feeling of the villain holding his hand, when they came to a stop by the side of a tree and the taller man let go of Sophia's hand Sportacus had to stop himself from wanting to snatch that hand back. Instead the athletic man watched with interest as the villain went up to the tree carefully the raven haired man reached up and into a well hidden whole. He drew out a purple velvet bag, Robbie came over to the lady he already thought of as a friend, the first one he'd had for a long time. "When you've told your cousin my story give him this and tell him to look inside. What it contains should help to convince Sportacus that I have told you the truth."

"What is inside?"

Robbie carefully closed Sophia's fingers round the bag, his grey eyes were very sad as he looked away from her. "You could say without stretching the truth too far that it holds my heart. It's been lovely to meet you Sophia."

"It was good to get to know you to Robbie."

"I have to say that it is a shame you only came for the day."

Sportacus gave Robbie a smile. "Well you never know maybe things will get better for you soon."

As the raven haired man smiled back the hero was sure his heart was about to burst out of his chest. It was the kind of smile that turned Robbie form a sour looking man to a handsome, happy one and made Sportacus want to curse number nine for the pain he had caused the taller man. Gallantly the villain kissed the back of the blonds' hand. "I should go. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day here in Lazy town and I wish you luck convincing your cousin I am anything but the heartless villain."
