After the sleepover me and Robin started going out in secret and fear of what the others might think of us.The only person I told was Gwen but I made sure she was sore under secrecy before I told her and she accepted me.I figured she would.
Her reaction was nothing but a "I knew it" With a sly smirk.Then she told me to no devils tango until marriage believe me I scolded her for knowing what it was.
Me and Robin would only hold hands when we were alone.We only kissed when we really knew we were alone.Robin would sometimes sneak over to the house during the middle of night and we'd make out and cuddle until the sun came up.
Then he'd sneak back out like he was never there.I always loved nights like those.Most sleepovers were at his house.One day we'd almost got caught by my father when Robin rolled off the bed hitting the floor with a loud thud.
Thankfully Robin was quick enough to roll underneath my bed.When my father came into the room I had just pretended I had fallen off surprisedly he fell for it.
After he left Robin came back up onto the bed."That was a close one"Robin said.Robin wrapped his arms around me."Finney we should probably start to tell people about us" To my father? "To my dad no way-"I stammered "Not your dad Cariño.But to our friends" Robin cut in.
I shook my head."No rob-what if they think like the rest of them? What if they stop being friends with us"Robin kissed my forehead gently trying to calm me. "Por favor, piénsalo, amor, por favor?" Robin said cupping my cheek.Being around Robin for so long I've kinda learned spanish."Okay I will" Robin smiled at me.
Eventually I fell asleep in Robin's arms thinking about what he had said.Should we really come out to the group? I kept thinking of the other scenarios.They could accept us or they could resent us? There was no in between.
I was hoping for the first scenario. 6 am had arrived and Robin had to go home.I felt him kiss me on the cheek moving a strand of hair behind my ear. " Te quiero, Finney" He whispered in my ear.
I decided it was time for me and Robin to come out to our friends.We would do it at school today.
——————
It was lunchtime at school and I was nervous as hell for damn sure."It's okay Finney I'm sure they'll accept us" How could he be so sure? I wish I had his positive attitude.
Everyone eventually made it to the table.I had told everybody in the first period that I had something important to tell them."Alright so what's up Finney?" "Yeah, what's the important thing you had to tell us?"
I let out a trembling breath."Me-Me and Robin are dating."I closed my eyes, preparing for the worst."Well hell we figured that" Vance teased.Opening my eyes I looked around."Yeah we kinda figured that after the kiss at the sleepover" Griffin said.My face turned scarlet.
"How long have y'all been going out?"Billy asked. "Almost two months now"Robin cut in. I didn't realize that we'd almost been dating for that long."And y'all didn't tell us? Your best friends?! Wow I feel offended"Bruce mocked."We were scared-well I was scared that you guys wouldn't accept us"I say.
"Oh Finney, we would've accepted you regardless and we're sorry if we made you feel like you couldn't tell us" Bruce says looking at the other guys."Yeah but anyways if anyone gives y'all shit let me know I'll handle it.I mean it Finney cause I know how you are.Any shit they'll give there ass beat"Vance stated sternly.
I never realized how protective Vance really was until someone said something bad about our friend group.Vance was suspended for a week.But he didn't mind he told us he did the right thing.
I felt a slight relief knowing that my friends accepted me."See I knew they'd accept us"Robin whispered in my ear.Robin sneaked a small kiss on my cheek before turning back to his seat.
"I'm going to the bathroom real quick"I said standing up and leaving the table.
