Y/n was returned home almost immediately. Banana Joe was devastated, he was in slumber party planning mode when she was rushed out the door. Rob's mood was unidentifiable, he was still polite to Barbara when she asked why they were leaving. He was like that sometimes.
Of course, Rob escorting her home like that caused a meeting between him and Nicole. Richard wasn't there, he was baking (Y/n might have to intervene later with more whipped cream...). Y/n passed the doorstep, and Nicole smiled and kissed her forehead. It was nice. But the fact Y/n called her mom earlier had passed the young girl's mind already.
"So, is this the elusive Rob I've heard about?" She asked in the tone that all mothers use when meeting their daughter's boyfriend/girlfriend/partner. Amused and proud.
Rob nodded and Y/n hid in her coat. After what happened at the garage, both weren't up for this kind of interaction. Also, it was clear Rob was slightly nervous, he rarely had much social interaction apart from Y/n and Gumball and Darwin.
"Er, yeah..." Y/n replied, having to take off her coat since the house was too warm. "He can't stay and chat, because-"
"Y/n and I just broke up." He said, and Y/n dropped her coat with surprise.
Nicole's mouth fell open.
"What-?" Y/n began, but as Nicole looked at her for a fraction of a second, Rob shook his head and put a finger to his lips.
"Really? But..." Nicole seemed put out.
"Yeah... we have some problems we have to deal with." Now Nicole's concentration was on Rob, Y/n made gestures of confusion behind her back. Nicole turned to see what the commotion was, and Rob mouthed, 'Eleven p.m'.
"Y/n, honey, what's going on?" Nicole asked, all motherly.
Y/n sighed. "I dunno... we just..." She shrugged. "uh... y'know."
"Well... alright. And you're okay with this?"
Y/n nodded, although she wasn't.
"Okay, well, I have to go," Rob said awkwardly, backing down the porch like a pro, considering the ice. "I'll see you around?" He asked Y/n. Nicole turned to look at the girl, who saw Rob mouth again, 'Eleven p.m, basement.'
"Sure... see you."
~Time skip~
After Y/n had been supplied with bad romcoms, ice-cream, some favorite soda, and a comfy place on the sofa, Nicole finally left her alone. Y/n didn't even feel bad, after all, it was just something they told Nicole, right?
Midway through 'Love, Actually', she glanced at the clock. Ten to eleven. With a sigh, she finished her ice-cream, sipped the last of her soda, and paused the movie. The walk downstairs to the basement seemed to take forever.
He was there already, he must've been for hours.
"Hey, Y/n," He sounded more awkward than before.
Before he could finish, she said, "What's the plan, then? How will we stop this future? And yes, I can handle things, I'm not weak-"
"I really was breaking up with you." He said abruptly. Y/n's mouth was open still with the word she was last saying and a strange emotion filled her.
"I-I-I... why?"
He sighed, a really defeated sigh, and said, "If things went my way, we wouldn't be doing this. But you saw what happens in that painting... we can't risk it."
"But... you know what Gumball said! That- that it happens anyway-!"
"We. Can't. Risk it." He turned to leave. "Bye, Y/n-"
She wrapped her arms around his waist and held him there. He tried to move, but she held him firm.
"Y/n," He tried to say seriously but laughed. "Let me- argh."
"No." She said into his back. "No."
"We have to- I can't-"
He was able to turn around in her arms and hug her back. "You can't leave me. Everyone leaves me." He froze. That was worse than he'd feared she'd say. She looked up at him, chin rested on his chest. "If we all fall into the void like that painting depicts, we can face it together. If we break up, it'll happen anyway, and make it worse. Just let us try."
He blinked, unsure what to say. But she took the words away from him by releasing her grip and leaning in for a kiss. A proper one. To show she was serious.
When she drew back, she tried to remain cool- I mean, she was breathless. "There. I love you."
His eye went wide. Y/n immediately freaked out.
'Oh yeah great we haven't said "love you" to eachother yet. F U C-'
He gave a small sigh and slightly whispered, color-bars and embarrassment, "I-I love you too..." She squealed and hugged him close. He chuckled. "You're right, by the way. We probably could get through this together."
"Mhm, seconded."
"What? You said it yourself before me-"
Then they were laughing. Christmas was near, and their joy overtook everything else.
