Fawn

[goodfellow]

Robin had had one more drink after Fin left, before going back to sleep. Well, first he'd wanked off. You know. To help him sleep.

The next morning he got up, showered, drank two cups of coffee in his underwear, and then gotten dressed in one of his favorite suits. He stopped by the canteen first, and then went to the quarters that he knew were shared by Fin and Fawn.

He knocked and waited, holding a box of sweet honey glazed rolls.

Fawn nodded a little, then looked down at his hands. "I will always put Fin first, but I am allowed to seek love."

[goodfellow]

"Of course you are," Robin said. "And to be clear, because I care about Fin I also care about you."

[fawnthefae]

"You do?" Fawn asked, visibly surprised to hear it. He just assumed Robin saw him as nothing more than Fin's brother.

[goodfellow]

"I think you're very special, Fawn," said Robin honestly. "You have a big heart. I don't want to see you taken advantage of."

[fawnthefae]

Fawn nodded, putting the sticky bun down and walking over to Robin, barely offering a warning before throwing his arms around him and holding on tight.

[goodfellow]

Robin made a sound of genuine surprise. He was startled in the moment, but also... when was the last time someone hugged him like that?

He awkwardly put his arms around Fawn in return.

[fawnthefae]

Fawn kissed his cheek before letting go.

"I am pleased Fin has you as a friend. ...And me. Iam pleased to call you friend."

[goodfellow]

"Oh, um." Robin looked embarrassed. "You'll listen to me then?"

[fawnthefae]

"I guess. ...Yeah. Probably," Fawn nodded.

Though given that he barely listened to his own brother, chances were he'd do as he pleased.

[goodfellow]

"And I will speak to John," Robin said. Somewhat reluctantly.

[fawnthefae]

"If he shouts at you, kick his shin. The left one. That's what I do," Fawn said.

[goodfellow]

Robin patted Fawn's cheek. "You shouldn't let him shout at you, darling," he said. "All right, I'm going to go. Enjoy the buns."

[fawnthefae]

Fawn nodded a little and waved goodbye, eager to eat buns and not think about such difficult things.
