" Of course Tori, of course you can stay with me." Upon hearing that, Tori felt grateful to the extent, that she practically tackled Robbie back onto the bed and gave him a short but powerful smooch right on the lips. Needless to say, that the boy in question started to feel even more bashful now. His natural skin color, was briefly replaced by a fierce shade of red and he quickly tried looking down and away from her. Tori however, clearly hadn't noticed anything strange, as she pressed her body even closer to him and gave him another kiss on the forehead. " Thank you so much. I know you'd probably rather be alone right now, with everything you just went through." There was no retort to her declaration, as a very flustered-looking Robbie just sat there, blinking his eyes, while trying to recover words from his momentarily molten brain. He was surprised he hadn't died yet, cause his body was currently heating up like crazy. " Robbie, are you alright? You're not feeling dizzy again, are you?", Tori asked, as she stroked his cheek and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
" I… uh, I'm fine, thanks. Just feeling a little tired is all.", the ventriloquist finally responded, suddenly feeling very thankful for the fact that Danny had knocked him into oblivion. He couldn't imagine what would happen, if he were to tell her the truth. " Oh, poor darling, I really feel sorry for you, you know that. Let me tell you something: how about I go pick up my pajamas and stuff at my place, and meanwhile you take a nice nap?" Robbie sighed, before saying: " Sounds like a plan." Tori briefly let her finger s graze over the expanse of his shoulder one last time, effectively driving her friend crazy, before getting up.
" I'll be right back, Rob. Take care.", the tan girl said, before twisting the doorknob and making her way outside of his room. Robbie breathed a sigh of relief, then furrowed his brows when the door suddenly opened again. " Oh… and Robbie?" " Yeah?" " You will call me, if anything goes wrong, won't you?" " But o'course, darlin'.", Robbie joked in a Southern accent, in an attempt to lighten the mood. " Good. Well, I'll see you later, won't I darlin'?", the perky brunette responded, as she gave him an over-the-top- fat wink. Robbie just nodded and laughed to please her, but once she was gone, his stomach started to ache again. He really did freaking wish that Tori was his darling.
Robbie was already fast asleep, when Tori finally returned to his house. The tan girl carefully tiptoed over to his bed, before lightly shaking her friend's sleeping body. The bespectacled boy wouldn't budge however and for a while Tori just settled for sitting by his side. He looked incredibly cute and peaceful and she almost felt bad, for trying to wake him up. He'd gone through a dangerous predicament today and he deserved all the sleep he could get. She smiled a loving smile, as she softly ran her fingers through her friend's dark curls. ' He really is adorable.', she thought, as her fingers continued their path downward, over his temple and cheeks. She halted at his nose, only now noticing that every trace of cotton wool had disappeared.
She only hoped that he wouldn't start bleeding again. She'd been worried sick every time that had happened, while he was still lying in a semi-coma. She finally brushed her thumb over his upper-lip, before playfully tickling him under the nose. This little action, caused the boy in question to groan and scrunch up his nose. " There buster, that's for tickling me when I let my guard down.", she whispered, barely able to suppress a giggle, as she gazed upon her friend's suspicious-looking features. Then, she slowly got up and headed over to the bathroom to change into her nightclothes. After that, she made her way back over to the bed. Or… that had been the plan at least.
Tori's body hit the floor with a loud thud, after she'd rather clumsily stumbled over her own duffle bag. " How… what… where?", a startled Robbie asked in a confused daze, as he shot up from his mattress. " It's okay, Robbie. I just tripped. You can go back to sleep.", the Latina mumbled, as she rose and wiped the dust off of her knees. Robbie however, being naturally protective of her, wouldn't have any of that. " Oh my god, oh my god. Are you hurt?!", he exclaimed, as he turned on the light and raced over to her side. " I just have a little bruise on my knee. Don't worry about it." " Oh but, I do worry about it. Go lie down, so I can have a look at it.", the puppeteer commanded, anxiously waving his hand about, toward the general direction of his bed. Tori huffed, as she let out a: " Fine." And flopped down onto the mattress. He really shouldn't be so concerned for her right now.
Robbie quickly followed suit, as he went to sit on his knees beside her, in an attempt to inspect the damage. It was only then, that he really noticed just what his love interest had chosen to wear, for the night. He gave her a once over, before deciding that her choice of clothing definitely wasn't going to do him any good. Her torso was covered up by a short tank top, that really didn't do a very good job at hiding her cleavage, while her lower half was tucked away in a pair of booty shorts, which barely covered her lean buttocks. He gulped soundly, as he slowly backed away from her.
" What's the matter, Dr Shapiro? Aren't you going to examine the injuries?", Tori asked, as she raised her eyebrows. Her best friend's behavior was very confusing, to say the least. Uhm…uh…uh… n…n…no, you're fine, you're fine. You know, perfectly fine, as fit as a fiddle.", Robbie rambled in a high-pitched voice, before letting out a nervous and very weird kind of giggle. Then he switched off the light, all the while moving as far away from Tori as possible. " O-kay , I guess that's settled then. You're acting weird. Do you maybe… oh I don't know, wanna talk to me about something?"
The lanky boy let out the same odd cackling noise, before casually stating: " No, why would I wanna talk to you about something?" " Robbie, are you feeling alright?", Tori asked, as she flipped the light back on and caressed his cheek again. " You know what, Tori? Let's just sleep, okay? I'm very very sleepy… sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. I need my sleep.", Robbie uttered, ill at ease, before gently pushing Tori away and crawling underneath the sheets. When he was fully laying down, he pressed the light switch again. Then he went to lie on his side, facing away from Tori. His breathing sped up, when he suddenly felt his friend snuggling up to him, certain parts of her anatomy now prominently meeting with his slender back and warm, soft hands finding a resting place on his chest. This sure was going to be a long night.
