Robin was tired, that was a fact, but the problem? She was in class, at the back of the room, her face in her hands, her eyes heavy. She could barely open them and the burning in her brain radiated to her eyes. She just wanted to knock out and rest and hope it would get better afterward. Mr Hauser spoke loudly today, what he said no longer interested Robin on the verge of explosion, the pain and fatigue made her so angry.
Nancy had her hand in her, she was running her fingers over the blond hairs on Robin's wrist, soft and bristly. Robin's cheek crushed against the palm of her hand was red with fatigue, heavy eyelids covering watery blue eyes. Robin's hand that was in Nancy's was loose, but the gentle caresses were pleasant for Robin. Nancy massaged the pads of her fingers, and relief flooded Robin's body, but the pain in her brain did not subside.
“Nance, I need to sleep” Robin sobbed and her head fell heavily on her arm, a dull sound of her head hitting her arm against the wooden table rang out.
“come on baby, another fifteen minutes, then we’ll go to the infirmary” nancy whispered and squeezed the ringed hand in hers.
“no, I want to cuddle you, please, I need you” Robin mumbled into her elbow. She pulled Nancy's hand closer and intertwined their fingers.
“I have to write the course, I will give you my written record, but for that you have to give me my hand back” Nancy was patient, and Robin was grateful, Nancy always looked so stressed, but took the time to be gentle with her, it made her feel exceptional.
“mkay” robin muttered, she squirmed and rubbed her eyes embarrassed by the light and tiredness. Nancy stroked her hair gently, without scratching, just gentle like stroking a kitten, Robin as fragile was so precious in her eyes.
Robin sobbed a little, from time to time, she squirmed and listened to the scratching of Nancy's pen on the paper, she managed to forget a little of her misery by listening to the noises that Nancy made next to her, smelling the perfume with the rose that she held every day, it had become so comfortable. It was a big change from the filthy smell they had lived in after coming back from the Upside Down, she remembers accidentally chewing on a demodog corpse, she felt like she smelled like a corpse for a week. But Nancy's smell, even under the dirt, was so natural, it smelled like sweat, and her permed hair was sticky, but Nancy seemed so human under that layer of stickiness, Robin felt like it was had become habitual and her heart was tight, she wasn't there at the beginning, she would have liked to never be part of it, she is afraid of everything now, more than before in any case.
She wanted to stop thinking about it, her mind was completely foggy, her brain seemed to swell, her head was so painful. Her hand fumbled limply towards Nancy's aura, the body heat that Nancy gave off surrounded Robin's hand, her hand fell heavily on her thigh, her fingers squeezing tightly. She felt Nancy's thigh trembling as she hurried to write so she could give Robin her attention as quickly as possible. Nancy's nervous energy of love towards Robin was what made her crack the most, Robin was very tactile, Nancy was not, but strangely, it had become a need for both of them, just like that. this was also how they got closer.
"There are five minutes left baby, I promise you on my own life that I will cuddle you as much as possible" And Robin didn't really remember what happened, but the next thing she heard was the ringing .
"Robin" a soft whisper against her ear, "I'm taking you home, I'm going to give you some tylenol" Robin slowly got up, she tried to grab her bag, but there was nothing, Nancy was carrying her bag on her shoulder. The little hand grabbed hers and gently pulled her towards the door. Robin followed Nancy with confidence, she saw almost nothing, just lost in herself, Nancy was her eyes. For her everything was happening so quickly, but she saw everyone going faster than her, Nancy's eyes scrutinizing her and the heavy autumn sun illuminating with a fresh warmth that smelled of the approach of Halloween. Nancy's car was parked just outside the school and Robin scrambled on her clumsy feet to the passenger side and slumped into the seat, she almost fell asleep, but Nancy's gentle, firm grip pulled her upright and fastened her buckle.
The engine vibrated while Nancy seemed to have little regard for the highway code, weaving between cars, running red lights and not respecting priorities. But Robin needed to rest, she was sick, all Nancy could think about was taking care of Robin.
“we’re getting there baby, fucking truck!” she braked suddenly. Robin's head swayed from side to side from the force of the blow.
Nancy restarted and drove straight, it only took a few seconds for the car to stop again.
“I’m going to put you in my room” Robin broke away and Nancy helped her get up by supporting her by the elbow.
Nancy had taken off their shoes and was walking slowly in case her mother was around. The stairs creaked a little under Robin's heavy body, she was so tired, she cried softly.
“Nancy I'm so tired, I feel like I'm going to die” she was so desperate, she looked feverish and pale, her white skin was so dull.
“come on baby, pretty little bird” Nancy cooed cutely as she laid Robin on her bed. She took off her shirt and pants, her socks fell with the pants and Nancy pulled the fleece blanket up over her and Robin shivered, she was so happy to feel in a position to rest. And unfortunately, Nancy's presence, the caresses and adoring kisses that Nancy could sometimes give her before falling asleep were not there.
“Nancyyyy, please!” Robin cried, half slumped against the pillow.
“I’m coming baby, I’m changing” Robin felt a little demanding, she felt like she was asking too much of Nancy, exploiting her, it wasn’t fair, Robin was getting more than she was giving.
Robin raised her arms and waited for Nancy to come into her embrace.
“I'm here, birdie, pretty bird” Robin chirped happily at the nickname Nancy gave her . Nancy lifted the blanket and Robin grabbed it, snuggling against her.
“Will you cuddle me please?” Robin mumbled tiredly against Nancy's shoulder. Nancy moved slowly, not withdrawing in any way, she took Robin against her, pressing her whole body against her. She pulled Robin even closer, leaving no space between them. She held Robin's body, large and warm, too bulky to surround her completely, she caressed with large movements all over the surface of her back, her thighs wrapped around her waist.
“my beautiful baby, my pretty little girl that I love” she punctuated each word with her deep and languorous kisses on the burning cheeks of Robin who slowly fell asleep muttering how much she loved all these little names.
“yee, kiss me more please” her little hoarse and broken voice melted nancy's heart, robin sighed softly in contentment, her nose wrinkled happily as nancy kissed her entire face with love while hugging her, relief round and cute robin's cheeks were so kissable, nancy kissed everywhere she could reach.
“sleep baby, I’ll be here when you wake up” Robin fell back and snuggled against her. her happy little chirp faded into impending sleep.
