Summary: Robbie thinks he could get used to this, then realizes he already has. slash Travis/Robbie
Notes: This is the first 2nd chapter I've ever written, I'm kind of a one-shot girl, but it was 4:00 in the morning and I had nothing better to do (that I wanted to do)
Notes2: The title is from ST:TOS ep. #70
******If anyone is interested, I tweaked chapter 1 of this fic and made it for a more (*cough*) "mature" audience. It's NC-17 and on my site: katarinshave.bravehost.com go read it, it's pornolicious, but do bear in mind that it is in fact real, live, graphic smut. Don't read it if that sort of thing bothers you.
He doesn't know if he's done something wrong or if maybe Travis is having a rough couple of weeks, but Robbie can't help but feel alone when he looks around. Ray is (as always) focusing completely on Lily and he can't really blame him. If Robbie had someone like her he probably wouldn't take his eyes off her either. Lily is trying to get Ray to pay attention, but it's still new to her, and the attempt is only half serious. They're completely wrapped up in each other and despite it shutting him out of their lives a little, he is happy for them. So, now that 2 out of 3 of his best friends are lovestruck, it's time to unite with his other best friend against googly eyes and pet names.
But Travis is always preoccupied lately, he never looks at them, only speaks to them when they're all discussing RFR, and he seems to be hanging around Ed and Ted a lot more than usual. Robbie was under the impression that Travis didn't know the two very well, and that what he did know he didn't like (I mean it was *just* an egg drop), but in all honesty, Travis is sticking to the geeks like a four year old with a security blanket. And that *hurts*. So Robbie is alone, in a crowd of people, and he gets this feeling of emptiness inside whenever he thinks about it. He expected Ray and Lily to pull away, because that's how young love is, but he thought he could lean on Travis, and not having him here is really causing something inside him to twist, in the most visceral way.
What good is missing someone who's actually around though. It feels wrong and strange to be doing the whole "poor me" scene when his friends are still technically here, so he puts on the brave face and endeavors to work through it. After all, Ray will occasionally ask him to play a game of torpedo with him, and Lily still loans him CDs and plays her guitar, and Travis always smiles if Robbie does first, so it's like a contest between them. The smile Travis wears in these moments, makes Robbie ache for the loss of a friend, because Travis seems to be happy. Happy without Robbie, without Lily, without Ray, without all of them, and how can he deal with that. Should he begrudge Travis happiness because Ray and Lily got to the Euphoria train before he did and therefore they have priority? It wouldn't be fair so Robbie just steps aside. He is Travis' friend after all, and that still means something to him. So, he sees Travis less and less around school, and doesn't really see him after school and it all would have gone on that way if Robbie hadn't been at the drinking fountain while Travis was in deep conversation with Ted.
"So, what does it feel like?" Travis asked, curiosity dripping from every pore. "Nice, *full*, warm, and then there's your prostrate and well, let's not get talking about that." Ted replied, noticing Robbie standing off to the side looking gobsmacked. "Umm, I think either you've found your chance or are wayyyy, wayyy, out of the closet," Ted tells Travis, before standing up and looking down at him, "good luck, yeah." Then he leaves and Robbie is still there gaping like a fish. "So you're probably wondering what that was about, huh?" Travis asks, eyes fixed on his, Robbie can only nod vaguely. Travis leads them to an empty classroom and sits down on the teacher's desk in full lotus. He looks like he's centering himself and Robbie has a moment to panic about whatever is so bad that he needs spiritual guidance. "So, lately, I've been noticing some strange things..." and Travis goes on from there, about Lee Johns and water and Ray? and Robbie thinks he might have felt this way before. This was like when you were in English and everyone was reading out parts in a play and it's your turn only you can't remember what Act your in, or which character you are, or even which play it is. This feels like all of that and more, because Travis is, for once, babbling. His words don't make any concrete sense and Robbie's tempted to just sit and listen and laugh when he starts talking about the history of pants. Travis seems to sense that his word-a-thon isn't going well though, and abruptly stops. "God that's embarrassing," he says to Robbie, who has the decency not to smile to brightly. "I just, well, hell, here goes nothing," and he's leaning forward and up and his eyes are closed and, *lips*, *mouth*, *soft*, *Travis*. It's an odd enough thought to bring him up for air, and when he looks at Travis, lips slightly swollen and hair a bit tousled, he can't think of anything to say. "So, umm, that was different," Robbie says and it seems to jar Travis to action. He grabs Robbie's waist and pushes him against the wall, and *KISSES* him, with *tounge* and "wow" for a shy guy Travis knows how to kiss. It lasts forever, it lasts for seconds and when they come up for air again, Robbie looks over and says, "oh," in a quiet voice, and slumps back against the wall.
His head makes contact with a loud cracking sound and it brings Robbie back to something resembling functional. "I, um, have to go Travis. Maybe we should like, talk, later, but I really need to go," he tells Travis and starts for the door. "What was the 'Oh' for?" Travis asks, no sign of hurt, just mild confusion and an air of *patience* about him that really eased the tension in Robbie's shoulders. "I was 'Oh' -ing the fact that I had deduced why you were so distant a while ago, but I didn't know it applied to you to" "What did you think it was?" he asks, all cool, slow voice. "I was thinking about how I didn't blame Ray and Lily for pulling away. I remember thinking, 'that's what young love is about.' And it's true isn't it, that's why you pulled away, you're in love with me." The last is delivered with a note of wonder in Robbie's voice. Travis can only nod, and gaze piercingly. "I can't..., Right now I'm not," Robbie stumbles for a few words to explain himself. Travis' hand on his stops that train of thought though, "I understand," he says, "take as long as you need." And Robbie knows Travis means it, and he can't help but think that he's lucky, that Travis won't just thrust him (pardon the pun) into the whole gay thing. So Robbie nods and Travis kisses him again and Robbie thinks he could get used to this, then realizes he already has.
