Robin:
Robin was silent.

"I'm sorry Robin. I know I shouldn't feel like this. I'll leave" Finney said starting to get up. "No- Finney, wait, let me walk you home"

As they are walking through the crowds of people once again Robin told Finney to wait.

"Hey! Vance! I'm taking Finney home, he had something come up" Robin said shouting over the lines of people. "Alright!" He replied.

Robin turned around and Finney began to walk out the game with him. This time they weren't walking as close as usual. Finney just wanted to break down. He didn't want to walk with him, he just wanted to run away.
—————————————————————————
As they were walking Robin was thinking, hard.

"I swore you liked me back" Finney said. Robin turned. "What made you think that?"
Fuck, you sound like a total asshole right now. He thought.

"Staring at my lips, taking me home, walking me home, inviting me places, they way you blushed when I accidentally opened the bathroom door, and the way you were so chill about my drunk kiss" Finney said, realizing he over shared.

"Finn"
"what?"
"I do like you back"

Finney turned to look at Robin in confusion but Robin had already leaned in.

Finney pushed him off immediately. "Woah! I'm sorry" Robin said but then immediately got pulled back into a kiss.
—————————————————————————
Vance after waiting 20-30 minutes with Bruce, he decided to check up on Robin.

'You said you were just dropping him off right? Where are you??' - Vance

Robin felt his phone buzz. "Finn- Finn one second" he let go of his lips and picked up his phone

Shit, he did say he was just dropping him off. He could just lie- but Billy..

"What is it?" Finney said trying to look. "Vance, he's asking if I'm coming back. What do I say?" Robin said feeling bad. "First day together, first date" Finney said connecting their hands and they turned around walking back.
—————————————————————————
"You're back?" Vance said looking at Finney. "Yea, I just forgot my uh-" Finney was at a loss of words. "He forgot to turn Gwen's flat iron off" Robin said to the rescue. Even though the house most likely would've been in flames by now, Vance believed it.

"Alright then, Billy was looking for you and half times just about over I'd go tell him you guys are here" Bruce said.

Finney and Robin began to run down the steps. They saw Billy. "Billy!!" Robin yelled.

"Robin!!! Finney!!! Y'all made it!" He ran in for a hug for the both. "Did you guys see that touch down!!"

"Fuck yea we did! You did awesome" Robin said and he tried to grab Finneys hand while saying it. Finney noticed and put his hands behind his back.

The coach's whistle rang loud. "Oh I gotta go, I'll see you guys in a second"

"See ya!"

Robin began to turn around to go back to the bleachers but Finney stopped him.

"What was that?"
"What?" Robin said turning back to Finney.

"Why'd you try to hold my hand??" Finney sounded angry yet sad yet not either. "Aren't we like.. a thing?? Or something?"

The words lit up Finneys face slightly but he still seemed angry. "I don't want anyone to know" Finney said. "Well yea I know that." Robin was confused and sad.

"Then don't hold my hand"
"But we held hands and friends-?"
Finney acted as if he didn't hear him.

As if he didn't have internalized homophobia as well.
