Chapter 5: The Visit

"Hmmmm..." Robin said to herself while getting on her Vespa to leave the STN-J. "I'll go visit Amon to see if he's ok, and to thank him."

She started her Vespa, and left. During her ride, she kept thinking about that hunt. Amon had saved her, and before, she had saved him.

Sorta.

When she got to the building, Robin looked up. It was an old looking apartment building. She got off her Vespa, took her helmet off, and walked to the door. She opened it and an interesting fragrance hit her nose. It was the smell of lilac. Robin straitened her coat, and walked to the elevator.

When she got to the floor Amon's apartment was on, she saw a little girl, and her mother. The little girl smiled, and Robin smiled back.

"Hello." Robin said sweetly.

The mother looked at Robin. She smiled.

"Hello." The little girl smiled brightened.

"Thank you." The woman said. "Thank you for making my daughter happy, you see, her dad, well, my husband left not to long ago, and she has been broken eve since."

Robin nodded and stepped aside to let the family get onto the elevator. She turned and walked towards the end of the hall. She turned right, and looked at a black door. There was no door bell, so she knocked.

Amon was surprised to see Robin at his door. "Umm.." Amon looked into her eyes.

"Thank you." Robin said, her voice deeper than usual.

"For what?" Amon was completely confused.

"Rescuing Doujima and I. Or we would have been, well, dead."

"It is basically my duty to save my comrades. And my partner."

Robin looked a little hurt. Amon opened his door a little wider.

"Why don't you come in?"

Robin stared at him.

"Ok."

She walked in. Everything was black. The walls, the furniture, everything.

"Oh, wow." Robin whispered mainly to herself.

"Not much people think black is the best color for this apartment. I don't give a damn what they say."

Robin laughed slightly, "Well, I can see even though you're hurt, your attitude hasn't changed a bit. Well, maybe a little..." She trailed off.

Amon looked at Robin, his eyebrow raised. "Well, whatever. Anyways." He walked over to his kitchen.

"Would you like something?" he asked as he got himself a glass of water and an asprin.

"I'm ok, thank you." Robin went over to the couch, and sat down.

She looked at Amon. He was wearing his coat, and everything else he usually wore.

"Amon?" Robin asked. Amon looked at Robin.

"Yes?"

"Well...do you wear anything else that's not black?"

"No." Amon said coldly.

"Oh, ok."

Amon looked at Robin. He was interested in why she would ask.

He walked over to the couch, and sat down next to Robin.

"Robin, do you want to know why I said what I said to Touka?"

Robin's eyes widened. She snapped back out of her daze, then nodded.

"Touka and I loved each other. I don't know HOW much she loved me, but I knew I loved her. But something just wasn't right. She seemed a little uneasy around me. I do know I can scare people, but Touka, she was never scared. I didn't quite know what to do when she started acting uneasy. I loved her so much."

He looked deep into Robin's eyes with his own piercing black eyes.

"Then, you came to the STN-J. At first, I thought, god, they sent me another dud partner. But when I realized that with those glasses I gave you, you could advance further into hunting. And I realized I liked you too. Touka didn't know that we worked together, but when I told her, she seemed a little startled.

I don't know what it was."

Amon shook his head.

Robin was bedazzled. Never before has Amon expressed this feeling to her. She was speechless. This was not the Amon she knew who worked at the STN-J.

"Well, did you ask her why she was acting like this, ask her what was wrong?" Robin asked.

"Yes, but she always turned her head away. I don't know."

Robin looked at Amon with admiration. Amon caught her look and just stared at her.

"But...I met you, and, Robin, I love you."

Robin's eyes widened. her mouth opend a little in surprise. She looked at Amon.

"S-So is that why you broke up with Touka?"

"Mostly." Amon leaned towards his partner. Robin was to much into a daze to notice that Amon was going to kiss her. But when she felt his lips against hers, her daze broke. She closed her eyes. Amon noticed that she did. He pushed more into the kiss, and Robin did too. Amon brought his hand up and started to unzip Robin's dress. Robin noticed and started to take Amon's coat off.

Outside, the clouds covered the moon. It started to rain. People rushed to get cover. Robin's vespa was getting soaked, and her helmet started to act like a bucket.

The Next Day, In The Morning

Amon woke up. He slept on the couch, with Robin. he noticed that the weight that was on his chest was gone. He sat up and looked around. there was a note on his table.

It read:

Amon, sorry I had to leave. I needed to go home so Touka wouldn't worry about me.

Thank you again, and see you at work.

Love,

Robin
