"Maybe won't you take it back, Say you were tryna make me laugh, And nothing has to change today, You didn't mean to say 'love you'"
I love you | billie eilish"LOVE?" ROBIN ASKED looking into y/n's eyes. He knew 'love' meant a lot to her, and the word was important between them. Y/n's eyes widened, worry swirling in her stomach. Why did he seem so concerned about it? Did he not love her? Was it too early?
"I..." Y/n looked away, hands slipping into her pockets. The park was growing dark, Christmas lights creating a soft glow in the park. As the snow gently covered the streets around them, Y/n struggled with her feelings.
Robin's frown remained on his face. "Do you mean it, y/n?" searching for honesty in her eyes. Y/n met his eyes again, their eyes locking. "of course I do robin." she mumbled.
In the soft glow of the park, Robin's frown dissolved as he listened to Y/n admit her love for him. Y/n sighed, lost in thoughts as she absently picked at her chipped nail polish.
"I've loved you before we even got together" she confessed, drawing Robin's attention. His eyes widened in surprise "Really?" "Of course, we've been best friends since I could remember. I've always loved you. This isn't new to me."
A small, genuine smile appeared on Robin's face. Y/n stepped forward, intertwining her hand with his. "You need to trust me when I say I didn't kiss him. I never once liked him in that way. It's always been you and always will be."
The smile on Robin's face warmed Y/n's heart. "I trust you" he said. Y/n wrapped her arms around his neck, going on her tiptoes to place a gentle kiss on his lips. As she broke the kiss she left her lips hovering over his, locking eyes with him.
Unable to resist her, Robin pressed his lips back onto Y/n's, lifting her around his torso. Their lips moved in sync, the snow growing deeper around them. Y/n didn't care; this moment made her heart race and her cheeks heat.
Robin, with his hand under her thighs, set her down on the playground. Breaking away, he looked at her with a smile. "Y/n" he mumbled. Y/n ran her fingers through his hair "Yes" she smiled.
"I love you." Robin's words were truthful as he tucked strands of y/n's hair behind her ear.
Y/n's smile grew bigger as she cupped his face. "I love you too, Robin."— ☃️
The next day at school felt heavy with tension as Dante, with a beaten face, kept his distance, shooting mean death stares at y/n and Robin. Grateful that he seemed to have learned his lesson, y/n felt a sense of peace knowing that she and Robin could now have peace within their relationship without dante's interference.
