Disclaimer: Do I really need to write this out EVERY CHAPTER? Well, as
always, I do not own RFR, sadly.
::Robbies Room::
Riiing. Riiiing.
"God, what?" Robbie flopped over on his bed, reaching out one hand to the phone on his bedside table. "Hi?" he grumbled staring at the clock in the darkness that glowed a misty midnight.
"Robbie? Are you awake? Its Travis..." Robbie looked into the darkness, his heart thumping harder. Travis? Calling at midnight?
"Um, what are you calling me for? It's the middle of the night."
"Yeah, that's why they call it midnight..." Travis said, Robbie could almost see his amused grin. "Uh, I was hoping you could meet me at the station in about 10 minutes?"
"What? My parents might hear! C'mon, get real." He heard a small, obviously fake, whimper on the other end of the line. "Fine! FINE, just don't do that freakish whimper thing anymore. I'll be right down." He hung up and rubbed his eyes.
"When this guy finally calls me its in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! Sheesh, I guess I could tell him... but, no, he isn't like me. No, okay. God... I don't know what to do..." Robbie put on some slippers and quietly snuck down the stairs and out of the house.
::Outside the Station 10 minute's later::
The wind whistled around Travis who stood alone, holding the stone in his hand, glancing at his watch.
"Where is he?" He peered into the darkness and noticed a shadow figure coming, with an afro. With a slight chuckle he began to walk towards him.
"Travis? Hey, why'd you ask me to come here?" Robbie looked over him, and smiled to himself. He was alone with Travis, he felt like he never had before. A warm fuzzy feeling came from his feet to his heart and he just breathed feeling his own heartbeat.
"Well, it wasn't to see those ducky slippers." Travis grinned as Robbie blushed furiously, but fortunately for him it was too dark to see this. Robbie but one of his feet behind the other embarassedly.
"Gee, thanks. Seriously now?"
"Okay, okay. I wanted to give you this." Travis fumbled with the stone and then handed it over to Robbie.
"Um, I'm Question Mark and I'm wondering what is it?" Travis looked down.
"Well, its better in daylight. But I got each of you this little friendship stone. I-I'm really gonna miss you guys." Travis sniffed up a tear, unable to let this sensitive side of him show. Robbie tried not to seem surprised at this sweet act of Travis. But, he had given one of these to all of the RFR Friends. It was nothing, Robbie tried to convince himself.
"Wow, thanks. I'll check it out in the sunlight." He grinned. Travis smiled, this meant he liked it. Out of the four DJ's he felt closest to Robbie. He had a connection to him he just couldn't talk about. It was like Robbie and Travis were soul mates. But Travis didn't like him the way Robbie did, and he wondered what was different in Robbie that night.
"Well, Robbie, I'll see you tomorrow. At school, um, yeah. Bye" Travis gave his buddy one of those masculine hugs (hah, right). Robbie tried to return it but was too late, Travis was already out of sight.
**At School**
Lily was sitting right there on the bench with her guitar. Playing a few chords she attempted her own version of 'Love Will Keep Us Together'. In all its scraggiliness she knew it would tell Robbie how she really felt about him. 'Here he comes', she smiled.
"Hey R-" But she was cut short by Ray who took a wild run to the bench by Lily.
"Lils!!!!!! Before I go nuts about this stupid crush let me say something!" She tried to cut in but he wouldn't let her, "NO! Wait, will you go to the Dance with me?" He breathed for the first time in a minute. He closed his eyes then looked at Lily, who was looking between him and Robbie.
"Uh, Ray? Let me get back to you." She gave him a pat and set her guitar down in his lap, not sure what to do. "Hey Robbie, can I talk to you?" She took him aside for a minute.
"Robbie? I really like you. Will you go to the Dance with me?" She blinked up at him. 'Did I just ask that?'. She sighed waiting, even if Ray asked her she hadn't said anything. Its not like she was doing anything wrong, right?
"Um, Lily, I gotta tell you something. I can't go with you because." He took a deep breath and looked across the hall at Travis duking it out with Ed and Ted. "Well, I'm kinda." He began to whisper. "Gay. I-I like guys? Ya know?" He looked down and gave her a pat, "Sorry." He waved and said Hi to Ray and walked past Travis with a flutter in his chest. Then he was at his locker wishing he hadn't told Lily.
"Great." Lily grumbled then walked back to Ray with a mock-smile. "Sure Ray, I'll go with you to the Dance, Ray-man." She gave him a quick hug then hurried off to her locker, guitar in tow.
"I finally got a date with Lily, but why does it seem like she doesn't care?"
::::::So? I know, crazy stuff! Review ^-^ I've read too many fics with Robbie being Gay, sorry :P Hope no one cares too much, at least it isn't Travis **sigh** Travis :] ::::::
