Chapter Text

The first thing Robin heard was his mom yelling, "ROOBBINNN ARELLANO!" Fear shot through him. He scattered off of his bed and straight to his closet. Picking out the least bummy outfit, he ran to his body mirror and started on his hair. Robin desperately tried to fix his hair, a weird bump formed because of his horrible sleeping. He grabbed his bandana and wrestled with it, trying to smooth it out and later giving up.“AArGahA” he let out a frustrated huff and slapped the bandana on. He slung his backpack off of his chair and darted out the door with bacon strips in his hand.

That night Robin had fixed his backpack, his school supplies, his outfit, he had to make sure his spot at the top - along with Vance - stayed, though Robin was confident no one could replace him anyway.

Robin was blessed his house wasn't too far from school, but he ran anyways. As he shoved his phone in his pocket, he bumped into someone, the other falling forward

“Oh my gosh! Finney are you okay!?” A younger girl ran to his side.
The boy on the ground hissed in pain, the girl spoke,

“Finney it’s okay-“

“Watch it fatass!” They boy yelled, catching Robin in surprise, the only one with a big.. ass he saw was the one in front of him, The boy dusted himself off and slowly turned around.

“Oh yeah how about you don’t take up the whole sidewalk spac-“

Boom. Just like that, robins mouth was dropped, he looked stupid stopping mid-sentence and actions as he saw the boys face.
Finney- is what his name was? Robin assumed, was jaw-dropping gorgeous. Finney gave him a pissy look, eyeing Robin up and down before saying-

“What, is there something on my face?”

Finn started panicking because the boy he bumped into was intimidating, with his small but strong features, that pissy looking in robins eyes- well changed but he could feel his old energy, Robin hated him a second ago, was still biting through him.

Robin shut him mouth and eyed him, he make a noise and stared. Finney started to sweat, Robin was taking in the view. They were lost in each others eyes before-

“Finn let’s go we will be late!” Gwen stared up at him and grabbed his arm, pulling him while looking at Robin.

Robin reached his hand outward, trying to make the boy stay-

What am I doing-

Robin rushed to class, not that he wanted to be there but it was either this or his mom's scary, scary reprimands... he should be able to last in shitty math class anyways.... A soft buzz came from his pocket as he sat down, pulling his phone our from under his desk- trying to be sneaky- to check. His groupchat.

I put my phone down and sighed, I closed my eyes and put my head down on the desk. The unnamed boy who bumped into me, his long blonde curls, his tone, the way his hips stuck out when he was down on the-

“Robin Arellano! “The teacher pipped up, annoying ass. My eyes lazily looked towards the class, widening a bit as i saw Him. His expression was so... stoic? a bit pink, his eyes scanning the class.

“Yes?” I asked my eyes glued to the boy's frame, tall lanky, dry hand, and- Oh shit, They made eye contact as the mysterious boys eyes widened and dropped to a disappointed stare.

“Please sit up straight in my class, you wouldn't like it if someone had their head down on the desk while you-!“ yadayada she kept on blabbering on and on, my eyes instantly wondering to the boy who was now looking around the room.

“Class this is Finnegan Blake and he-“

“Miss, my name is just Finney, Finney Blake.” Finney interrupted, adjusting his posture, almost puffing his chest out.

“Finney? What kind of a name is that? “ The worlds biggest asshole responded, Moose, more like mouse, Moose is nothing but a big shit talker.

Finney furrowed his eyebrows, his posture a bit frigid- how Vance looks like before he tears you down...- Finney inhaled as he already had words to shut him up, but-

“Moose! That is not how we treat people at this school!” She cleared her throat as I heard Finney snicker,

“Moose? HA, what are you? an animal.” Finney spoke up, some people giggling at the remark

Moose glared at Finney and scoffed.

"Whatever, what kind of Moron comes to a school with only one year left!" Moose was about to start another shit show.

“Finney Blake! you do not instigate this any further! As I was trying to say! Robin,” I looked up.

“Finney will sit next to you for the school year." I froze, I was about to sit next to the guy I just fantasized about not even 2 seconds after meeting him.

Finney gave me a look, I tried to keep the yells from erupting from my throat.

Finney walked towards me, glaring at Moose as his curls bounced as he walked. He sat down, neat and pristine. he looked at me and sighed, tilting his head in- Disappointment?!- he just looked straight and listened to the class.

The class was hard, forgetting it was math class for a second. Fuck I suck at math, Counting my prayers for when my mom saw my first term reportcard as the teacher passed out sheet, everyone focused on the sheet infront of them.It was silent, too silent for me, my ears began to ring as I tried to focus on the words. The words in front of me vibrated, making it harder to read. I was so in over my head about the math sheet that I had to take a break, my mind shifted to the boy sitting next to me. Finney Blake, I want to see him smile genuinely, i want to hear his laugh, how would he be in a conversation? Did he like ice cream?

the sound of a pencil that dropped on the ground knocked me out of my trance. Without thinking i bent over to pick it up, barely giving me a second to register something flying towards my head, 

SMACK-“ i swear I heard my head echo as I grabbed my head, Fuck it hurted- then my jaw dropped, The sight was one to die for. Finney Blake holding his head, tears welled up in the corner of his eyes as he rubbed his head. The space between us was non-existent, almost touching noses as I tried to slap my mouth shut, hitting him on the chin by accident!- WHY AM I SO STUPID!. He scoffed and left the pencil on the ground, angrily pulling out another pencil and continuing his work, i was frozen and when Finney shuffled away from me I saw moose fucking smirk at me! What a bitch.

The rest of class was awkward, the bell rang and Finney got up first, since we were like a billion kids sandwiched into a singular class. I just needed to get the fuck outta here, the classroom felt hot and irritating, finney replaying in my head- I needed to leave. Not realizing Finney was bent over trying to retrieve his forgotten pencil, Robin got up in a rush and slammed into him, his head hit the leg of the desk and he tumbled backwards. Robin quickly grabbed his shoulders as finney fell back, pulling him close. Inches away from robin's... crotch. He pushed him back, leaving finney on his ass while robin mumbled an apology, eyes burrowing into his back. Shamfully walking away with his head down.

Now iam here, sitting on the disgusting abandoned bathroom seat. My phone was blowing up with texts from my group chat and Vance, which i can only imagine from them hearing about the situation- I silenced my phone, a 30... 30-minute break, I can make it work... A pit of shame and guilt pooled in his stomach, he can feel his shame rising in his pants. Splashing cold water on him- which didnt help, to unzipping his pants and taking matters into his own hands...

After a couple minutes Robin got out, washing his hand twice before leaving. Finally opening his chats to many, many notifications.

Robin slipped his phone back in his pocket as he walked out the bathroom, terrified to see Finney again. Robin crept around the full halls, trying not to bump anyone, just trying to survive the rest of the day... Surely he wouldnt see Finney again, Right?? But low and behold, Finney was sitting in his next class, a hand on his head as he look irritated and angry, Robin gulped as he tried not to draw attention to himself. As the class filled in, there was a seating plan, thankfully he was a couple rows behind Finney. He spent the class watching Finney, trying to think of a way to apologize to the poor guy... 

Finney was beyond pissed, some guy he just met kept bumping into him! He knows it was all accidentental because he just couldn't shake the image out of his head of Robins face. Giving him a devastated look every time something happened, a kicked puppy. It still was infuriating cause now he had a headache! Brush it off Finney... you need to make new friends this year! But i swear someone is burrowing holes in the back of my head who is i-

FUCK HES LOOKING BACK-

Finney watched as robin fumbled with his book, holding it upside down?? the fuck is this guy doing bruh. He just had to make it so obvious. Genuine sorrow for the poor guy.

Robin helplessly held the book up, holding it as a shield between him and Finney. He was fucked and he knew it.. he knows he has to make it better somehow, but how? What can he even do to make this better because Robin genuinely has an interest in this guy! My whoever is out there help him...

How can i make it better?!

Robin has Griffin and Bruce at his house right now, they crowded a little chart Robin made, looking clueless. 

"So how do we even do this?" Robins sighed in defeat. "Fuck i dont know?! how did you literally mess up every conversation with him!" Griffin whined, rubbing his temples in frustration. Bruce's head tilted as he studied the sad chart. "One thing that is concerning, is how you even have random information on this guy, he just came here..." Giving him a sus look. "I may have... um... followed him for a bit, he was talking to his sister about things..." "Your actually crazy dude." Griffin said flatly, making Robin lay flat on the floor, Geeked to the MAX. "I dont know man, maybe just grow some balls and go up to him... maybe say hi?? or SOMETHING not adding to your already steady growing criminal case against him..." Robin scoffed, flipping off Bruce. "Whatever, ill find away to talk to him, FR trust i wont fuck up." The other pair side eyed each other before nodding slowly. "Rightttt.." "You got this..." Laughing at his seriousness.

The next day at school, Robin walked in. Hair flowing and wearing an old leather jacket, with of course his iconic flared jeans.  

He was determined to make it better today!!
