I'm gonna get you (Robert Downey Jr. fanfic)

- "Coming outs and Ducks"

We were sitting in this cafe for almost 3-4 hours now, explaining our life stories.

Robert was so interested in my stories he almost cried at the touching part.

"But what happened to the bullies?", he rubbed his face and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "They've apologized and they had to clean the school for 1 year. It was funny seeing them cleaning my mess.", I laughed at the last part and Robert smiled at me warmly. Suddenly a Waiter came up and pointed at the clock. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to go. We're going to close in 10 minutes.", Robert and I nodded, standing up and taking our jackets. As soon as we stepped outside the cold breeze punched me in the face and I started to shake and shiver. "Do you want my jacket?", Robert poked me on the Head and held his jacket up so I could wear it.

"Oh god, thanks. It's so cold I can't believe it.",

He laughed and pulled out his car keys. "Well it's almost winter. I'm expecting it to snow tonight.", I looked at the watch and almost screamed. It was 8pm and I had 15 missed calls from mom! Ok she's going to kill me, that's for sure. But how will I explain?

"Hey mum, me and my teacher went to a café and talked about our lifes " yeah. Totally believable. "Are you okay?", Robert shook me out of my thoughts and opened the car door. What a gentleman. "Yeah..", I mumbled.

The car ride was silent. It was a comfortable silence though. "Where do you live, Zoey?",

I pointed left. "Just turn here, I'll get there myself.", he stopped the car all of sudden that my body moved forwards and I had to hold onto his hand. "Oh, I-I'm so-sorry..", I stuttered out, embarassed by the fact that I had to grab his hand. Great Zoey. He just smiled and took my hand into his other hand. "Zoey, I understand you want to be brave and everything, but I'm not letting you walk alone. I'm gonna bring you to your door.", I breathed out and looked out the window. Maybe if he'll come with me my Mum will believe me. It's worth a try.

"Okay.", he turned off the engine, opened his door and then he opened mine. Again, what a gentleman.

As we were on our way to my house, we talked about tomorrow and he reminded me that I still had to do homework. smooth move.

I stopped as a saw a small black figure on the street that looked like some animal, believe me or not, everything is ten times scarier when it's dark outside.

"Is that...Is that a duck?", Robert asked, pointing at the strange figure. I looked closer and suddenly it ran towards us. I screamed my soul out and ran across the street, calling for my mum. I felt two hands grab my waist and pulling me back into a warm, comforting hug. "Sh, It's just a duck.", he almost snorted.

I glared at him and just shrugged it off. Thank god it was dark enough so you couldn't see my face because it was red as hell.

"I'm afraid of ducks", I whispered and hoped he couldn' hear it. But he did and it got more awkward.

"Nice coming out. I'm afraid of your scream.",

I laughed and he brought me to my front door.

My mum opened the door at first with an angry expression but as soon as she saw Robert it turned into confusion. "Uhm, Good evening Misses Greene. I'm her Teacher Mr. Downey Jr.", She held out her hand with a gaping mouth and he shook it.
Please don't make it awkward mum. Please!!

"Oh...has she done something wrong?", she glared at me and I could hear Robert grinning. "No, I just brought her home. Anyways, sorry for disturbing and taking so long. The traffic was weird today...Zoey.", he gave me a wink and waved goodbye.

My mum closed the door after me with raised eyebrows.

"Traffic for 4 hours?"
