    Summary

    But Robert knew no matter how much he wanted it, kindness wasn’t something he, or his stupid, broken down body, deserved.

    He pulled away again, averting his eyes self-consciously whenever he remembered why he was really there tonight. The last thing he wanted was for Waterboy to see him like that. To see what the hero that he idolised was really like behind all the smoke and mirrors.

    Herman’s smile fell at the same time as his lighter-coloured eyebrows rose, “D-don’t you want to dance-join in?” He glanced around the place where Robert was still leaning against the counter, “You’re all by your-alone.”

    Not for long, if I’m lucky, Robert thought bitterly. The ache that had been building in his gut all day felt like a ravenous, gnawing hole now. It twisted something inside of him, made him feel sick and rotten and wrong. And a thousand miles away from the sweet-faced, wetsuit-wearing hero currently giving up his Saturday night to help keep a bunch of villains safe at a crappy metal night.

    Summary

    “There wouldn’t be any drama if you wanted someone like me.”

    As Robert stopped, his heart slammed against his ribcage. “I’m sorry?”

    Sonar circled Robert and stopped in front of him. “You heard me, Robby. It’d be a hell of a lot less hassle than dealing with those two. Besides, they looked like they were getting along with each other back there."

    Robert swallowed heavily, his attention locked on Sonar’s shoes. “This isn’t a very funny thing to joke about, you know.”

    “I never said I was joking.”

    Summary

    “I know you’re trying to prove yourself, but it doesn’t have to cost your life.”

    “W-we’re heroes. It’s–it’s what we–it’s what’s expected.”

    Of course, he knew that, more than anyone, but it was different if someone he loved was on the line.

    Or a short story about Robert being scared shitless after a close call on a mission.

    Summary

    'There is a strong arm curled around his torso, the appendage keeping him close to its owner, whose warm breath is ghosting over the back of his neck. Sonic is sure he went to bed alone the previous night, but he isn't worried about the intruder. After all, this isn't the first time this has happened...'

    Summary

    Shifting slightly, and lifting his opposite hand to snap his fingers, Jinwoo calls out, “Thomas? Thomas - hey, do you remember who I am?”

    Thomas only looks at him like he’s about to go down on one knee and propose on the spot and Jinwoo squashes down the laugh building hysterically in his chest, “My future spouse?”
