Ross grabbed the bag from Robert's hand, feeling Robert's skin when grabbing the bag. He blushed a bit again as he then cleared his throat. "Ahem...so, where's your sister?" He asked, turning to a zoned out Robert. "...Um..? Robert, you there..?" Ross asked, tilting his head a little in confusion. Robert stayed quiet for a bit more before shaking his head, standing straight and seeming confused with himself. "You okay bro? You kinda-...I dunno, stopped working??" Ross joked, laughing out loud.

Robert laughed in embarrassment before doing a shooing motion with his hand. "Yeah, yeah, yeah! I- okay, I was just thinking about something that um...I guess I never noticed before in the past..?" Robert spoke quickly, rushing to excuse himself. Ross giggled ever so slightly. "Your good dude, no need to explain. I was just curious on why you suddenly zoned out." He explained, in his usual monotone voice. "Yeaaah...my sisters sleeping. She just fell asleep so...yeah."

Robert stared at Ross for a while before turning away, shrugging and walking over to the rooms. Ross, not really sure on where to go, followed behind him. He stopped as Robert peeked into his sister's room, closing it so she could rest soundly while they talked. They headed into Robert's room and sat on the bed beside each other. Ross rummaged in the grocery bag, grabbing an energy drink and chugging it down, feeling quite tired already.

Robert plopped backwards, resting his head atop his arms underneath himself. They sat in the room for a while, completely quiet. They've never been so...awkward. "So, why'd you come over? We're you really that desperate for the drinks?" Robert smirked, raising a brow as he glanced over to Ross. Ross turned over with the same look.

"Yeah, toooooootally. I wanted the drinks, not to see you. Why would I want to check on my friend after he probably got caught by the popo, am'i right?" Robert rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Oh yeaaah, your so right." He joked, sitting up and looking Ross right in the eyes. "Because who would care for someone who's known them for so long..? Who would care.." Robert scooted closer.

"For someone who cares so much for them..?" Robert asked. Ross' face seemed to flush quite quickly with a strawberry pink. Robert still smiled, same with Ross. Not a single one of the two stopped making eye contact, not wanting to look away for a single second. Their faces got closer for a while as well, close enough for Ross to be able to feel Robert breath on his skin...it gave him goosebumps. The good kind.

Roberts hand crawled onto Ross'...It was quiet, but peaceful...though, after a bit, the excitement of such a moment stopped, because Robert backed up again and sat down like before. Sure, the moment seemed to be over, but Ross' heart seemed to continue beating rapidly, making him feel as if it was going to jump out his chest. Ross turned his face away for a while, making sure his red face returned to normal before looking back.

Maybe he just got the wrong idea of what Robert wanted to do..? He probably didn't wanna kiss anyways, right?? Maybe he was just joking??? Ross had no clue... "Ross?" Ross looked over to Robert, who had his smile still on his face. "Yeah?" Ross replied. "Your eyes are actually totally rad, um...up close." Ross' smile widened further. "Thanks dude. Same with yours." Ross claimed, averting his face to look towards the floor. They were in awkward silence for a while more until Ross decided to say-...something.

"Would you be okay with me if I weren't a straight guy?"

Welp...that was sudden, wasn't it? Nevermind, it was obviously sudden due to Robert's reaction. "Woah- wait- what-??" He asked, spewing out words in utter confusion. Ross cleared his throat a bit. "Ahem...well, I dont think I'm straight, and I wanted to know if you'd feel okay with being friends with me if I wasn't. If you're not okay with it, its...no problem" In all honesty, it really would hurt him. He'd probably cry for a while if Robert stopped befriending him for that.
