A little bit of ice cream, and the leftovers from the forth wall.

By the time Rob had finished telling them what exactly he just remembered, Y/n realized her mouth had been hanging open and she was almost catching flies, so she snapped it shut. She had no idea such a place could exist- a void type place. Well, she supposed it confirmed her 'multiverse' theory.

She had zoned out, considering this, so when she came back to reality she was surprised at how quick Rob's attitude had changed. It was like, sweet, a bit lost maybe, before. Now his fists were clenched and he looked quite angry. Or sure of himself; Y/n wasn't sure.

"...I will be your worst enemy!" He finished his little speech on how he'd destroy Gumball. Y/n looked at the blue cat, expecting a scared expression. Nope. Gumball looked bored as heck.

"Okay, dude. Glad we could help. C'mon, Darwin, Y/n." He turned around and began walking away, Darwin in tow. Y/n began to slide off of the bench.

"Huh-aw." Rob frowned and looked at his feet. Y/n bit her thumbnail and sat back down.

"Y/n?" Darwin said, turning back around, confused.

She was looking at Rob, who turned to her curiously. "I'll catch up with you guys later, okay?"

Gumball raised an eyebrow. "Ooookay..." Then they were gone. Leaving Y/n and Rob sat on the bench in companionable silence.

"So..." Rob said after a moment. "Why did you stay?"

"You seemed lonely," Y/n replied, picking at a loose thread in her pants.

"Oh." Rob looked back at his feet.

Y/n looked up over at the supermarket. Even from their far-off point on the bench, Y/n could see the contents of the freezers from the nearest window. Boxes and boxes of ice cream. Instinctively she reached a hand into her pocket. She brought some crumpled notes back out and looked at Rob, who was trying his best not to look at her, it seemed. She stood up, and he finally turned back to her, almost seeming disappointed.

"I-" He began.

"Want some ice cream?" Y/n cut in with a smile, holding a hand out in hopes he would take it and stand up.

He looked at it.

"I-ice cream?" He stuttered, looking back up at her. "But I don't have any-"

She waved the dollars she had in her pocket by his face. "I'll pay."

"But-"

"No buts!"

Five minutes later they were sat eating ice cream on the same bench. When they'd come back from the supermarket with a tub each and spoons, some pigeons had taken up residence. Rob seemed to find it hilarious when Y/n attempted to scare them off, and Y/n was happy he was finally coming out of his shell.

"Question." Y/n stated, waving the spoon in the air. Rob looked over to her, spoon upside-down in his mouth, looking adorable. Y/n tried not to notice the last bit. "How did you appear from thin air in that basement?"

He took the spoon from his mouth and put it in the tub, thinking hard. "I don't really know. I think I disappear when I'm scared, though."

Y/n hated the idea that she, Gumball, and Darwin scared him before.

"I see." She took to eating her (f/f) ice cream.

"I have a question for you." Rob piqued, and Y/n looked up from her tub. She 'hmm'ed. "Why are you with Gumball and Darwin?"

She sensed this question coming, and sighed. "Long, long story. Big enough for its own chapter, or two."

He raised his eyebrow. "Chapter?"

"I don't know." She shrugged. "The author is putting words in my mouth."

He blinked, then seemed to take the idea. "Alright."

They finished their tubs of ice cream and threw them in the trash, before standing by the bench again.

"So, where do we go from here?" Y/n asked. "I suggested the ice cream, so you get to choose the next thing."

"Wait, what exactly are we doing?" Rob replied questioningly. "In general?"

Y/n shrugged. "Hanging out, as friends do. We are friends, aren't we?"

He smiled a little, with tiny little color bars on his staticky cheeks. Y/n fleetingly wondered what they were. "Y-yeah... I'd like that. Why don't we go for a walk?" The color bars disappeared.

They walked on from there, chatting as though they were old friends. It was almost as if they were....
