My Safe Place (Finney x Robin/ Rinney/Finbin)(READ DESC)

The treehouse

11th February 1978

3rd pov

Finney ran up the ladder and joined Robin on the balcony of the treehouse. Finney had never been in a treehouse before, so to him, it was a big deal.

Robin looked at Finney, admiring him almost. The way his long shaggy hair would shine as the sun reflected on it. How his eyes would glisten in the light.
Just being up there with Finney made Robin feel safe. Like, Finney wasn't going to hurt him or leave him.

Both Finney and Robin ran inside the treehouse as it began to start drizzling.
That is when Finney saw many drawings of animals covering the walls of the treehouse. Finney admired them in awe.

"Ya like my drawings, angel?"
I jokingly said with a chuckling right after. Finney immediately lifted his head up. So cute.
"Your drawings are very beautiful and accurate. Are these the drawings of animals you see in these woods?"
Finney questioned. I smiled, and we talked for 2 hours straight. All about the drawings and animals while waiting for the rain to pass.

Soon enough, it did.

"What time is it, Robin?" Finney inquired. His face looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Uhm... Let me check my watch... 8:30?"
I answered. He widened his eyes and started shaking a little.
Something was not right. Why would he be so scared about the time?

Finney pov

Shit shit shit SHIT. IT WAS 8:30??? DAD WAS GOING TO KILL ME.
Wait, I have to tell Robin first. Just tell him I need to get home fast. Yea,that will work.
"Robin, I need to get home like right now. It's an emergency."
I informed Robin, trying to hide any fear that would show. Although, my limbs were already trembling, and I also felt like I might fall down on my way home.

Robin looked at me and then... my legs gave out, and I fell forward onto him. Luckily, he caught me, but the look on his face was stern.
"Why are you so afraid of the time? Why do you seem so scared to go home now?" Robin flooded me with questions. I just broke down in tears. I felt weak, and I could barely talk at this point. I didn't want to get any beatings or scoldings when I got home.

"Amor, don't cry... It's going to be okay. I need you to tell me why you seem so scared of going home at this time."
I asked Finney while patting his head and rubbing circles on his back in an attempt to comfort him.
"I don't feel like we are close enough for me to tell you... but you do make me feel very safe, and I do hope for us to be closer. My dad is a alcoholic and abuses my sister and I sometimes. He might beat me again since I didn't really tell him that I would be hanging out with you. My curfew is also 7, so I might get another beating and scolding from him.
I don't even know if he is home from work or if he is at the bar." Finney explained everything, basically dropped a lot about his life at home.

I was glad he felt safe enough around me to tell me all this, but I needed to get him home quickly before his father hits my sweet amor.

I grabbed Finney's hand and rushed all the way back to his house. I ran as fast as I could.

"Is your window locked?" I planned to get him in through the window so his father wouldn't know if he was at home or not.
"No." Finney whispered, afraid of his father potentially hearing us.
We ran to his bedroom window, and I helped Finney get inside.

"Bye, angel. Get some rest and tell me if your father hits you or anything, ok?
I assured Finney that his life at home was safe with me and that he had nothing to worry about.

"Bye Robin! I hope to hang out with you more at school and out of school!" Finney replied. I gave a soft smile and ran home.

That hangout was definitely one to remember.

Finney pov

I watched as Robin ran away. He seemed very different from how others depicted him. Others said he was mean, impulsive, and would hit anyone if they made the slightest of remarks, but he was the opposite. He was sweet,comforting, always thought about what he would say and what he would do, and he also took into consideration if what others said was true or not. All the rumours were wrong.

"FINNEY,I AM HOME." I heard a yell from the living room. I guess I had made it home just in time. Dad had just gotten back from the pub.
"HI DAD, I AM IN MY ROOM,"
I yelled back. I sighed in relief.

I miss Robin already. I remember feeling butterflies in my stomach as he took my hand or even when he comforted me. I especially felt butterflies when he assured me before he left.
Gosh, what am I even thinking? I just met him. I hope we can blossom into something more than what we are now, though.
