Note: It was nice reading a celebrity story.
Friends fight as well
You laughed at some joke Robert Downey Jr. made. You were walking with him to meet the rest of your gang. He was your best friend in the entire world and had been for as long as you could remember. He winked at you with a smile making you giggle in return.
"Told you make you laugh." RDJ said smugly, making you scowl in return.
"Rob, you can make everyone laugh… but this isn't a laughing matter." you argued, trying to stay calm.
"(Y/n), sweetheart… Everything is a laughing matter." he chuckled with a grin and it took all your willpower not to punch him. You loved each other to death, but you really knew how to tick the other one off.
"Maybe to you, but some of us actually live in reality, where a failed subject means no college and no college means no education and no education means future!" you said, raising your voice slightly and tried to keep your tears at bay. Usually Robert was an understanding person, so you really didn't understand why he was just messing with you. "Why can't you be serious for a moment?"
"I can totally be serious!-"
"I'd like to see you try-" you scoffed.
"But I just don't see why you're making this such a big deal! I can get you into whatever college you want!" he yelled while throwing his hands in the air.
"But I don't want you to get me into college! I want to get in because I'm smart and because people want my skills at their school!" you yelled back, neither of you noticing that you had arrived at your meeting spot and that the rest of the Avengers cast were waiting and staring at you in confusion, but not interrupting.
"Why do you want to make everything so difficult?" RDJ sighed as he stopped walking and stared intensely at you.
"Because sometimes THERE ISN'T AN EASY WAY OUT!" at this point you were inches away from each other's face. Tom noticed you clenching your fist and took this as his cue to interrupt you guys.
"(Y/n), Robert, hi. How are you two?" he said, smiling at the two of you in hopes that it would make you forget this stupid argument, as he swung his arms around yours and Robert's shoulders.
"Fine…" you and Robert grumbled at the same time making your head snap to his and glare at him. He did nothing in return, except ignore you completely. You shrugged to yourself. 'Two can play that game…' you thought as you kept walking to what turned out to the most awkward lunch in your life.
1 week later
The lunch had been horrible. You and Robert hadn't said a word during the whole meal, only made scoffing noises at each other. The others had tried to get you to talk but failed miserably. You hadn't really talked to the other since.
One conversation with Scarlett was stuck in repeating itself in your head at the moment though. Which led you to where you were now, sprinting through the busy streets of the city, trying to get to your friends as fast as possible. Scarlett had called you 10 minutes ago, telling you that Robert had gotten hurt on set, making you drop your phone and everything in your hands and rush to him. You might not be on speaking terms at the moment but he was still your best friend.
15 minutes after the call, you burst through the doors to the set, passed security and found Scarlett with some people you didn't know who had surrounded Robert. The latter was in a chair with ice pack on his knee. All eyes were on you as you stopped dead in your tracks, not breathing.
"What are you doing here?" Robert scoffed before wincing. You slowly walked to him as tears started to fall from your eyes. When you reached him you fell to your knees, trying to catch your breath, which was hard as you started crying.
"Scar-lett… told… me… you'd… got-ten… hurt!" you managed to choke out as you kept trying to catch your breath. Robert's head snapped to Scarlett, who smirked at him.
"It's true…" she said with a shrug. "I called her about 15 minutes ago and apparently she rushed here as fast as she could. -"
"Why'd she do that? I just hurt my knee a bit… It'll be fine in the morning!" he said as he looked between you and Scarlett in confusion.
"I never got to that part. Suddenly there was a crash at the other end and then nothing-"
"I dropped my phone…" you managed to say before wiping the tears from your eyes only to have more stream down. They both looked at you silently urging to go on. "When Scarlett told me you had gotten hurt on set I got so scared that it was something serious and dropped everything in my hands and rushed here." you explained making Robert's hard eyes soften.
"So even though we were fighting you still came?" he asked as he pulled you into a standing position. He was about to stand as well when both you and Scarlett pushed him back in his chair.
"You two, talk this out. Now." Scarlett said in a stern voice before turning and leaving you alone. You looked at Robert with glassy eyes before falling to your knees again and buried your face in his chest while wrapping your arms around his waist.
"I don't care about our fight! I got so scared when Scarlett called me and it made me realize that…" you stopped and cried silently while tightening your grip on him.
"You realized what, Sweetcheeks?" you smiled at his nickname for you. Your fight was finally over. You pulled away from him and smiled brightly at him.
"Well uhm… You're more to me than a stupid fight." you both smiled at each other before Robert pulled you into a gentle hug.
"And the same goes for you. I'm sorry for being such an idiot… can you forgive me?" he asked, his eyes begging for your forgiveness. You smiled and shook your head.
"We were both stupid… There's nothing to forgive, Rob." You both smiled brightly, knowing that everything would be okay, and that you'd always have each other.
