Long Lost Love (Robert Downey Jr. Fanfiction)

Priority Not Problem

I went to the kitchen to get Robert some food.

Now I know that it's really hard to admit my feelings when it comes to love. I love Robert. I really do. It's just... It's hard to let go of everything.

I really hope Eric was here. I don't know how to handle this kind of things. It's my first time to apologize sincerely to a man.

I got him some chicken soup and paracetamol. I'm really amazed for what I did since I don't know how to cook.

I went back to the living room to where Robert was laying down. I saw him trying hard to get up.

"What the?! Are you nuts?" I shouted as I run towards him to help him. I put the soup and the medicine on a nearby table.

"I just... I just want to help you." Robert said.

"Help me? Help me where?" I asked confusedly as I help him sit down on the sofa.

"I don't want to be a problem for you." Robert panted.

"Problem? You're not a problem, babe." I said and took the soup and the medicine back to me.

I sat down on the sofa next to him and checked his forehead again. No differences, he's still burning.

"Yes I am. You came here for business and now you're here to take care of me."

"So? You're not a problem, Robbie. You're a priority." I said and finger combed his messy hair.

He pouted. I kissed his cheek to make him feel better.

"I don't know how to handle this kind of things so don't laugh at me if I don't know what to do." I said.

"You're doing a great job at it." Robert admitted.

"These are not my type of things, Rob. Science and Technology. Those are my things." I said and I fed him some soup.

"You cared for your intelligence long enough, babe. I think you should see and explore something else." Robert weakly said.

"Like what?" I asked him.

"Love."

"I am not the best woman for love, Robert." I said and fed him again.

"Yes you are. Look what you're doing right now. You're feeding me and taking care of me, that is love." Robert explained.

"You have to know that i've never apologized to a man before because I cheated on him. Last night was my first time." I admitted.

"I'm honored." Robert chuckled.

"Men will hate you for getting Hayley Knight's full attention."

"Duh. Women will hate you too for getting Robert Downey Jr's heart." Robert rolled his eyes.

"They're just jealous because I can kiss and have sex with you anytime I want." I smirked.

Robert laughed. I continued to feed him. He still looks so pale and weak.

He drank the medicine and I put the bowl back in the kitchen.

"You need to take a bath." I suggested as I sat next to him.

"No! No baths!" Robert declined and covered his face with a blanket.

I pulled the blanket off his face. "C'mon, Robbie." I said as try to pull him lightly.

"Baths are too painful for a sick man!" Robert said as he pull himself back.

"You're just lazy."
