The Price We Have To Pay.

I Missed You

The small Green haired Male ran towards his tall friend and practically threw himself onto him.

Harry chuckled weakly and hugged Robin tightly, feeling tears gather in his normally Dull eyes, and Robins big blue eyes watered as well.

they stayed like that for awhile, getting weird stares from people passing by as they embraced each other.

Robin sniffled as he slowly let go, eyes tired, even though he smiled, "Ha-Harry! Where were you?!" He asked and Harry backed up away from his friend just a little.

"I left, I Don't know how I got out but i did." He said and gripped his scarf "I was planning to come back for you two, and I tried to. But I got not even half way back down the path when I passed out..." Harry looked down and his eyes grew thoughtful, but he shook his head "not important, how did you get out? Is Donnie with you?" He asked and looked at his short friend with narrowed eyes.

Robin froze a little "well...." He looked down and blinked "I'm....not sure, the last thing I remember is..." He stiffened and gripped his shirt, eyes shaking.

But, so was he, as he took a deep breath "U-uh....I don't know..." He whispered and refused to make eye contact with Harry.

Harry frowned and said "so, where have you been staying? How long have you been in town?..." He asked, trying to calm the other person down a little.

Robin looked up at him again, eyes dark and distracted, until he cleared his throat and rubbed his eyes, quietly saying "oh, only about a day...and I don't really have a place to stay, I don't have money.."

Harry nodded "okay, is that why you got a job here?" He asked and put his hands into his pockets.

Robin clenched his teeth "Harry, that's not what's important right now! Donnie is still at that wretched house!" He seethed quietly and balled his hands into fists "we shouldn't be here talking about my new job, we have to go get Donnie!" He said frantically.

Harry sighed "I know, but for right now, we just need to lay low, make sure no one sends us to a insane asylum, and Find a way to get to him, okay?" He said quietly, people across the street were staring at them curiously as Robin seethed.

Robin hugged himself "Harry, I'm just worried, that last 'lesson' we had, it was really bad....and I don't even know if anything else happened after I...I blacked out..." He looked up at Harry worriedly.

Harry nodded as he looked at his friend "okay, I understand, but I need you to calm down okay? Let's not cause a scene here Robin..." He whispered.

Robin took a deep breath and nodded "..." He sighed and looked down, frowning deeply.

"Hey, let's just go back to my room, and we can think this whole mess over." He said and pinched the bridge of his nose of he squeezed his eyes shut.

Robin mumbled an agreement as Harry started walking back towards the motel he had been staying in, as they made their way up the stairs, they were silent.

Harry opened the door, it squeaking as it did so, Robin walked in quietly "hm.." He looked around the dimly lit room as Harry shut the door behind them.

Robin blinked and looked at Harry as he spoke "If you want to shower there's a bathroom over there, and I have a coffee machine, the room isn't much but at least its cheap." He sighed

The shorter male nodded in response as he went and quietly sat on the couch in the small living space of the room, he twiddled his thumbs as he thought over it all.

"How was Donnie when you last saw him?...before the lesson you were given, I mean.." Harry asked quietly, brewing coffee.

Robin blinked at the floor "He was okay....for some reason we couldn't quite grip on to the fact that you were gone, we knew something was out of place, but we didn't know what..." He whispered back as Harry walked towards him, handing him a cup of coffee.

Robin smiled weakly and gladly took the hot drink as Harry spoke "Oh, okay.." He sat down carefully beside his friend

"If you don't mind me asking, what was the lesson about?..." Harry asked a bit hesitantly, taking off his scarf and placing it on the couch arm beside him.

Robins small smile faded "well, it was about 'Healthy' eating..." He said and looked at the floor as he took a swig of his coffee, Harry nodded "Ok.."

They sat in silence for awhile, each trapped in their own thoughts as they drank they're coffee quietly, the only sound being the air conditioning kicking on and their soft sips.

Soon it became dark outside as night was Upon the town, the starlight and moonlight fluttering through the window as Harry got up and got a blanket for himself and a pillow, insisting Robin take the bed while he sleep on the couch.

Robin tried to refuse but his friend wouldn't let him as he set up the little make shift bed on the couch "seriously Harry, you don't have to, I can sleep on the couch.." He said and rubbed his arm, But Harry just shook his head as he laid down.

The shorter male quietly climbed into the bed and yawned "You know something Harry?..." He mumbled as they dozed, he got a soft grunting noise in response.

"I missed you."
