Safe {Smaylor}

15. Distractions

Robin headed back to set, although he saw Cory no more than 30 seconds ago he already missed him. That can't be good, can it? Maybe he's being too clingy, Travis never liked it when he would follow him everywhere or text him too often. But Cory isn't Travis. Cory is so much more than Travis. What if Cory doesn't like him as much as he likes Cory?

Robin was so wrapped up in his own thoughts he nearly walked into Ben. "Oh shit, sorry Ben." Thankfully Ben just started laughing and said, "Don't worry about it. What's up with you? You seem so distant, not like when you were still with Travis, a happy distant." Robin's stomach turned at the mention of Travis's name. Had he been that obvious? Is he being that obvious now? "Robin?" Robin jumped a little as Ben waved his hand in front of his face. "I um, I don't know, I guess I've just been busy," Robin said quickly, trying to sound as convincing as possible. "Busy you say.." Ben replied with a smirk. "Who's the lucky guy?" Robin blushed and looked at the ground, were he and Cory telling people about them? Camren knows but are they telling others? Just the cast maybe? He figured he better check with Cory before telling anyone. "Girl?" Ben questioned. Robin looked up, a little confused but then replied, "No he's a boy, I just... we... aren't telling people." Ben looked at him with a not-so convinced look, "Okay, well we better head back, where did you go anyway?" Robin panicked, if he says that he went to say goodbye to Cory he might figure it out, but if he makes up something and then Camren says something about it it will one hundred percent look like they are dating. "I just um.. went. out for some air." Ben, still not convinced simply nodded his head and started walking back towards set.

After lying on the bed/couch thing in his trailer for a good 5 minutes Cory finally decided to get up. He got up, put on his jacket, scarf, and boots. He grabbed his bag that had scripts, clothes, probably food and who knows what else in it. He headed out to his car and got in. The radio came on as he turned on the car, Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor and John Legend was on. Immediately remembering singing this song with Robin put a smile on his face. Gosh, he really did love him. Is this too much? Did Robin love him too? Honestly, at this point, he was just hoping and wishing and begging that he did. He had never fallen this hard for anyone before. Sure he has dated before, but none that lasted longer than a year or two. He wasn't really about the whole "love at first sight" thing, but that's how it felt with Robin. Obviously, it wasn't romantic love at first sight, seeing as they have known each other for about four years now, but it was definitely some kind of love. They had such great chemistry working together, which everyone always pointed out.

Cory had arrived at home by the time he stopped his rambling thoughts. During his drive, he had managed to convince himself that Robin actually hated him and was playing a trick on him, and that Robin was going to propose tomorrow. Shaking his head at himself he grabbed his bag, locked his car and headed up to his apartment. He decided that relationships are about trust, and he needed to trust Robin. He needed to trust that he felt the same, or at least similar and that he would e honest with him. Cory sat down on his couch and started scrolling through channels on the TV. He got bored and decided to go to YouTube. Most of his suggested were Gotham interviews, he had watched a few to make sure he wasn't making a complete fool of himself. As he was scrolling through his recommended a fan edit came up of Smaylor. He hadn't realized that they were making videos of them, so he decided to watch it. It was basically a compilation of every moment that one of them touched the other or called them a nickname during interviews or live streams. Nonetheless, it was still pretty adorable.

Robin had finally finished for the day. Honestly, he just pretended he was talking about Cory, it made it a lot easier until he remembered that Ed doesn't love Oswald back, or at least won't admit to it. Honestly, Robin definitely thought that Ed loved Oswald too. They gave Robin a heads up because in future episodes Ed shoots Oswald, which is basically any actors greatest fear. They told him not to worry though, Ed was going to take drugs to hallucinate him. Hallucinate what exactly? They didn't tell him, but honestly, he has to love him if he is taking hallucinogens to see him and talk to him again. Robin got out of there as soon as he could. He went to his trailer to get changed and put on his jacket, boots, and scarf and left. It would have been nice to have had a ride home, but Cory left a while ago so he had to walk. Walking was kind of nice, it gave him time to think. Robin's thoughts were anything from Gotham and Cory, to wondering what the most likely apocalypse was. His favourite thing to think about was Cory, he loved fantasizing about what their life would be like together. Would they get married? Would they have kids? Who knows, but it was fun to think about. When Robin got home he was going to make himself some tea, but he went for hot chocolate instead. He thought about how sweet Cory had been when he brought him hot chocolate this morning, he probably shouldn't be having hot chocolate again, but no one was counting. He sat down and realized that he was exhausted. He could have fallen asleep in his chair right there. He figured that he was probably going to fall asleep very soon so he decided to text Cory.

Robin: Hey, just wanted to say that I had a great time today and being late was totally worth it :) I'm going to sleep now, you're probably already asleep so if you don't see this until the morning Good Morning! but Good Night too! See you tomorrow! (or later today if you are reading this in the morning).

And with that Robin put down his phone and headed to bed, falling into a blissful sleep within five minutes.
