"Nope." Robin shook her head. She smiled at Roger, enjoying his company. Somehow, however unlikely it seemed, she'd made a good friend, she knew.

Roger frowned. "Is that... a smile?" he asked, confused.
Robin felt her cheeks heat up a tiny bit and she looked down at her hands. "Um, yeah."
"A real smile?" Roger asked, even more confused.
"Yeah. It's been a while since I've actually smiled." She said quietly.
"A genuine smile," Roger said in astonishment. "Amazing..."
Robin nodded slightly. She smiled again to herself at his amazed expression then looked back at her hands.
"Why are you smiling?" Roger asked curiously, knowing he probably sounded odd.
"Because of you, actually." She said and looked back up at him once her cheeks cooled. "You're the first friend I've had in a long time and... You're a really nice person. Despite your mood swings." She winked.
Roger raised a brow. "You're smiling because of me? There's a first," he muttered, though he was a bit overjoyed.
"First time for everything." Robin smirked.
((Whoops meant "there's a-"$$
((Okie!))"Okay... Does this mean I have to smile?" Roger asked scrunching his eyebrows.
"Not unless something actually makes you smile or be happy." She shrugged.
Robin sighed. "So was that just a random question or would you like to go to the Three Broomsticks?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.
((UGH Roger is so stubborn. Haha kidding! Hopefully Robin can get to him. I mean like become his friend. ;) ))

((XD isn't he?!))"Only if you want to," Roger said, gazing at Robin.
Robin smiled slightly and nodded. "Sure."
Robin turned and started walking, a bit ahead of Roger. She smiled again. It felt good to smile.
Roger shook his head in amusement and followed.
((Actually, could we pick up a little later? I'm going offline for about an hour and a half.))
((Oh ok! I posted for when you get back ;) ))
"Where did you want to go first?" Chella asked her cousin as she wrapped a wavy strand of hair around her finger.
Robin walked outside quickly, thankful the cool air would calm her down and stop the blushing.
Roger walked after Robin, approaching her slowly. "And what was that?"
"I tripped." She said, not looking at Roger.
"Just... Sorry." Robin turned and looked at him. "I overreacted." She said, the memory coming back to her.
' "but-"
"No!" Her mother yelled. "It's disrespectful! How can you live with yourself?!"
"It's not like I chose this!" She yelled back.
"Maybe you did." Her father's voice was calm, which scared Robin most.
"It's not my fault, alright?!" She snapped before they shook their heads in disgust and walked out, not speaking another word to her...'

"… Robin? Robin!" Roger said, trying to get her attention.
"I'm sorry." She said and shook her head, keeping the tears back. "I gotta go." She put her bag on her shoulder and began walking away.
"Wait--Robin!" Roger called, mentally smacking himself as he ran after her.
Robin stopped, not turning around. "Yeah?" Her voice cracked and she scolded herself mentally.
"What's wrong?" Roger asked, catching up to her.
"I... Um... Just a bit embarrassing?" She knew he wouldn't believe her; she didn't even believe herself.
"Right," Roger said. "Aren't we friends?"
Robin nodded, still not turning around.
((Brb))
((Brb))
((Okay))"Don't friends confide in each other or something like that?" Roger asked.
"It's not my fault." Robin repeated. "That was the last thing I said to my parents before they left me." She said quietly, looking down at the ground.
"Oh… I'm uh, I'm sorry," Roger said softly.
"Not your fault." She whispered, still keeping the tears back. "Thanks for listening."
"Do you need anything?" Roger asked, not sure if he was doing this right.
"Just a friend." Robin nodded. "So you helped."
"Really?" Roger asked, looking at Robin.
"Yeah." Robin nodded again, then looked from the ground up at Roger.
Roger gave Robin a small smile. He felt the sudden urge to want to make Robin feel better.
Robin smiled slightly. "That's a real smile." She said quietly.
"Yeah... I guess so," Roger said, still smiling.
