Episode 11: Secret
It had been two days after the whole car chase went down. It left everyone on edge, but at the same time wondering if it was just paranoia. Maybe both... just put together at the same, good time.
At least that's what Robin thought.
He had been thinking about that day ever since.
It wasn't even the whole 'whos in the other car' thing. It was that moment with Palutena that the two had shared. They haven't gotten the chance to speak to each other since, but what had been said that day had crawled around in his mind 24/7. Maybe even for Pat, too.
'She still loved you'
If he didn't have to keep up his composure for Pat not to break down at that moment, he was sure to have broken down himself.
Ever since the day that the two had split,
Ever since the day he found out about her and Palutena,
he's had to accept that she wasn't his. That she didn't love him. And that she had died with those feelings, too.
'She still loved you'
Each letter in each word felt like needles in his spine.
As he tried to clear the thoughts out of his head, Robin sat up, sitting on the edge of his bed. The morning still a bit dark. He stared blankly at the floor, not even noticing the soft knock at his door.
He looked up to see the door open.
It was Roy, unexpectedly.
"Roy?"
"Oh," Roy shifted on his feet. "Hey"
"What are you doing up so early?" Robin asked. Actual worry creeping upon him.
"I just couldn't sleep."
The redhead's excuse sounded forced.
Hesitating, Robin asked, "Is this about Daisy?"
Silence.
"Because she'll be fine... you know. She'll get better soon."
Now, with his eyes adjusting to the darkness, Robin could see the redness in Roy's eyes. And the flushed skin under his eyes and nose. Roy couldn't even think of anything to say to the other. Even with tough situations in the past, he usually could think of something to say, no matter how stupid it was.
So the pure silence between them hurt.
"Here... I'll uh, get you some tea. Do you like tea?" Robin asked the other as he got up, stuffing his feet into the deep purple slippers sitting on the floor.
