Sportacus' curiosity got the better of him, he had to go see if Robbie was alright, he knew where he lived, he remembered back to when he had rescued Robbie on the billboard. But then he remembered what Stephanie had said. Was it a trap? Good or bad, or was he working on his next plan?
Sportacus' need to move overpowered Stephanie's talk, he did love her but he didn't want anyone to be hurt I the town he was slightly-above-average-hero of, good or bad, straight or gay. He flipped to the front of his ship and set off.
Sportacus found his way to the steps down to Robbie's lair, they looked like they hadn't been used for a while, Sportacus thought, thinking he was already there he thought he may as well see what Robbie's place looked like even if he wasn't hurt. He climbed down the steps.
As he dropped to the bottom and as his eyes got accustomed to the light he noticed the place was quite roomy for just one person, he saw the bright orange armchair and he clearly understood what Stephanie had meant, this was not the kind of taste in décor a straight person would have.
"I wondered when your curiosity would get the better of you," said a voice in the gloomy corner of what looked like the bottom of a periscope.
Sportacus jumped, he wasn't expecting anyone to have been down here but then he realised if Robbie hadn't been down in his lair, where else would he be?
"Oh sorry, I didn't expect…," he said quickly tailing off knowing he had no excuse.
"Sure," said Robbie," where else would I be?" he came out of the shadows of his periscope towards Sportacus.
"Sorry, it's just I noticed you hadn't been out since Stephanie's birthday, so I was just wondering of you were alright," said Sportacus nervously, "and you're fine so I'll get going now." He tried to make for the steps but Robbie was blocking them, "Erm… you're in the way," he said shyly.
"I know," said Robbie closing in on him.
Sportacus backed into the nearest wall. "I've always liked you Sportapoop."
"My name's Sportacus," he corrected quietly.
"Whatever," said Robbie. He leaned forward and kissed Sportacus.
"No." Sportacus said but was interrupted by another gentle kiss, "I said NO!" Sportacus said forcefully pushing him away, he didn't push hard but it was enough to make Robbie stumble.
"Sorry," Sportacus said apologetically, still standing where he was, "but I'm afraid I don't feel that way, I'm not like that, I just came to see if you were OK."
"You could have said," replied Robbie angrily, he was keeping his distance.
"I'm… I'm with Stephanie." He couldn't believe the first person he was telling was Robbie Rotten; he would've expected Robbie to be the last person he would tell.
"Oh, I should have known," said Robbie looking stupid, "Pinky was always your favourite."
"Look I am sorry Robbie, but if I do ever feel like, y'know, that I'll make sure you're the first to know."
"Sure, whatever," said Robbie trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Er… I'm gonna go now," said Sportacus losing his confidence slightly.
"I said OK, just GO," Robbie said with great annoyance.
Sportacus left feeling incredibly stupid, why had he gone down there? He couldn't stop thinking, why he had decided to go visit. But first things first he had to go talk to Stephanie about what had happened, he just hoped she would understand.
