Robin got changed into his Penguin suit for the day and sat in the make up chair. Once he was all ready for the day he left the trailer and went over to the one beside, where Cory was getting ready. He decided to snack on some more chocolate while he waited for his friend. The box was empty when Cory finally came out of the trailer. Time went by so slowly when he was waiting for Cory, but that was all made up for when he saw Cory's face light up when he saw Robin waiting for him. The smile on Cory's face was so enchanting and contagious Robin couldn't help but smile too. "What can't walk to set without me?" Cory asked jokingly. "Are you kidding? Of course not! Way too far." Robin replied with a laugh. "Well come on, we don't wanna be late," Cory said grabbing Robin's arm and pulling him along. Robin flinched a little at the contact, hoping Cory didn't notice.

They arrived on set which just so happened to be the club which is always fun, but this scene, in particular, would be fun to shoot. Edward was about to expose Butch as the mastermind behind the "Red Hoods". They got into position and started to film. Butch had been exposed and was pissed, he was strangling Ed until Oswald came behind him and hit him over the head with a glass bottle. He immediately rushed to Ed's unconscious side and started shaking him and calling his name. Oswald grabbed Ed's face, nicely but still trying desperately to wake him. Robin had a sudden flashback to his dream, holding Cory's face as they kissed. As Ed was shaken back into consciousness so was Robin. He snapped back into character and started to smile down at Ed as he awoke. Ed smiled back and grabbed onto Oswald's arms as he held him. They were both laughing the way you do when everything turns out okay after a scare like that. As they stared into each other's eyes Cory couldn't help but remember when this happened in his dream, just staring into those eyes made him so happy and gave him the weirdest feeling in the pit of his stomach. They stopped laughing a little and Cory couldn't help but glance down to Robin's lips. "You are Ed and that is Oswald, snap out of it!" he told himself and quickly moved his sight back to Oswald's, not Robin's, eyes.

"And scene!" they both heard but didn't really hear. They were so lost in the moment and well, in each other that they didn't let go. Robin thought he saw Cory look at his lips, "Stop it, you are in character and so is he, this means nothing." he told himself. He saw Drew get up out of the corner of his eye. "Shit, they must have called scene, why didn't I realize? Why didn't Cory?" he wondered. Cory must have noticed too because they both let go at the same time. Robin got up first, seeing as he was kneeling basically on top of Cory so he offered him a hand up. Cory reached up and took Robin's hand so he could help him up. Cory was standing but didn't let go of Robin's hand, he was caught off guard by those eyes. After standing there awkwardly for a bit Cory finally cleared his throat and said a small "Thank you" to Robin. Robin, who was lost in Cory's eyes and his previous dream, blinked back to reality and replied "Ya no problem." smiled, dropped his hand that he forgot he was still holding and left quite quickly. He went straight to the washroom to clear his head. He went to splash himself with some cold water to make him refocus but he caught himself in the mirror and thank god he did. If he washed off that makeup he would get in so much trouble. He just stared at his reflection for a bit, it was always weird looking in the mirror and not seeing yourself. Even if he didn't have all this makeup and a fake nose on, he still probably wouldn't recognize himself.

"Where did Robin go? We need him for the next scene?" Cory heard the director TJ ask. Where did he go? Did he do something wrong? Did he upset him? Cory decided he needed to see what was up with his friend so he replied, "I think he went to the washroom, I'll go check and bring him back.". As Cory started walking towards the washroom he heard a "Well be quick please". He got into the men's room and didn't see anyone, "Robin? You in here?" he asked but got no answer. He stood back from the stalls so he could see the feet of whoever was in them. Sure enough, there was a pair of feet, Oswald's shoes are always quite extravagant so it wasn't hard to figure out who it was. "Robin are you okay?" he asked knowing he could hear. The stall door opened and Robin walked out, he hadn't been crying which is good but he still looked not like himself. "Ya I'm fine, just felt a little sick I guess." He answered looking at the ground. Cory put his hand on Robin's shoulder and said, "You know you can always talk to me right?" Robin looked up and smiled a shy smile and responded, "Ya, thank you." Cory smiled back and couldn't help but once again look into those gorgeous green eyes. Robin was staring right back. He was thankful he had such a great friend. Robin wished he could talk to him but how could he when his problem was the fact that he thinks he is falling for him? It happened again, Cory looked down to his lips, or was his mind playing tricks? Nope, this was real. Robin leaned in slightly and was grateful that Cory did the same. Cory's hand moved from Robin's shoulder to the side of his head as they leaned in. After a painfully long time, their lips met. It was sweet and innocent, it was kind and tender, it was long overdue and yet so worth the wait.
