Box Turtle

Summary:

Roy has a present. That he wants to give to Robert.

If only he could man up for two seconds and actually hand the damn thing over.

Notes:

Written for a prompt week in a Discord server I'm in! The prompt was "gift".

Work Text:

Roy leans past the gate, spotting Robert walking along one of the paths. Letting out a sigh, he drags himself through the gate and into the park. "Hey Rob!"

Robert stops and turns, smiling as Roy catches up to him. "Oh, hey! What's up?"

"Nothing! Wait, shit, actually yeah, I wanted to... uh... I saw somthin' the other day and I thought that maybe you would-- aggh! HERE, just take this!" His hand shoves into his pocket and Roy pulls out a small box, thrusting it into Robert's chest; the taller boy let out a small yelp in response, hands snatching the box up so it wouldn't fall.

It was one of those little gift boxes that look like they're intricately wrapped, but really you just take the top off. Robert did so, staring inside for a moment, smile widening into his trademark grin.

"Yooo, thanks dude!"

"Eh-- r-really?" Roy asks, expression softening, eyebrows raising in disbelief.

"Yeah! I love these little guys," Robert took the small turtle figurine out of the box, spinning it around with his fingers, "this looks super well made, too! Nice find."

"Thanks..." Roy puts his hands up and adjusts one of his sleeves, hiding a small smile.
