She'll be stuck. She won't know what to do. [ Some might even say such an idea is cruel. But can't they be cruel to 2B, as a treat? It's a nice thought that Robby can picture behind his lowering eyelids--or maybe it's just that comfortable right now. ]
Like when we gave her the gingerbread house? [ Haha. ] You picked a good one. I should've invited her over for the Christmas dinner.
[ An afterthought, one given rather lazily, drowsily. ]
no subject
He considers making a remark about the Christmas dinner idea - probably something about it being a better idea to not put 2B anywhere close to Robby's dad - but then lets it go, opting to focus on something else.
Something that's obvious in Robby's voice, especially with the two of them being so close right now. ]
Are you tired?
[ He wouldn't blame Robby, considering everything. Sure, they did sleep for.. quite a while, probably.. in fact, Daniel isn't even sure what time it is right now, or what day.
But they've been through a lot. Even if Robby isn't the injured one here, he still seemed so stressed, so feverish. His body has been bearing a lot. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't want to admit to it, though doing so doesn't feel as bad as it could. Even if he feels tired, it doesn't mean he has to sleep, though Mister LaRusso will fuss because he always does. But-- ]
But I don't want to sleep. [ --but with that fondly stated, he'll say it anyway, doesn't care too deeply what Mister LaRusso will say. Because he likes the man regardless, fussing and all. ] I like talking to you.
[ He likes hearing him, is the thing. He wants to keep that up, feel the touch of him against him, his fingers on the back of his head. ]
It's nice.
[ This is nice. ]
no subject
But that's usually. Robby saying stuff like this? Well, maybe it's a little more common nowadays, but still not usually. Him being so sweet that it makes Daniel even pause for a moment to try and process it. It's not even something he hears from his biological son, after all.
.. even less usually, anyway. ]
Yeah?
[ Daniel tries to hide the surprise in his voice, but there's a touch of it anyway. It's a fond sort of surprise though, something that happily catches him off guard, leaving him unable to not continue to play with Robby's hair a little if the other finds it so comforting. ]
Are you happy right now then?
[ That's more important than anything, after all. Daniel can even forget his mostly-numbed pain in favour of that. He can even forget about his own back for a moment. ]
no subject
[ No other answer crosses his mind. Of course he's happy right now--Mister LaRusso is speaking, he's close enough to alright than Robby worried he wasn't, and they're together. But he doesn't take the question for doubt or surprise; he doesn't think about it too deeply at all, other than he feels, and what he feels is-- ]
I care about you a lot. You're important to me. [ His brushes his hand again against the one of Mister LaRusso's that on the bed, fingers touching to skin. A loose hold if anything, around the side of it. ]
...You wanted to be family.
[ He speaks it meaningfully, not a question, but a statement. What could be a We said we'd be family, if shy, or still working around the idea, but touching around its edges.
If he were a better person, maybe he could commit better; if he wasn't someone who saw a ring and felt guilty.
But Robby knows what's better for the both of them than the part of him that reacts that way, sometimes. ]
no subject
Or-- well, it's not entirely a correction, is it. Daniel is pretty sure that Robby knows this too, if not just because Daniel quite literally putting himself in the way of danger to ensure that Robby would stay safe makes his point on that pretty clear, he's sure.
But he wants to say it anyway. Maybe because they're all cozy like this, one of Daniel's hands still in Robby's hair, the other now being crowded by Robby's hand. Maybe because he wants to make sure to keep reminding this boy that he's wanted, when Robby must have felt otherwise so many times in his life.
Just the simple confirmation that it's still very much a present tense thing. Even though Daniel knows it's a lot for Robby.
But it's okay. He can wait. He wants to be a patient man, doesn't he? ]
The same counts for me, you know? I'm not exactly in the best shape right now. [ That's underplaying it severely, but for once it's not just Daniel doing it because it's Daniel, but also a little bit for Robby's sake in this moment, not wanting to drag the warmth down with heaviness. ] But knowing you're alright, knowing you're happy.. It makes this moment bearable.
no subject
Because want is a strong correction--or not a correction, but a reminder. One that makes Robby's body warmer than the low flush he's been inflicted this with this entire time; not over his skin, but deeper. Sure, sometimes Robby questions the validity of that want to himself, privately; that risk he doesn't want to gamble with, least he gets hurt. And it's not just because of the past, of what's happened between the two of them before, but--doesn't it make sense? That a family man without one present would want to fix that.
Robby wouldn't blame him, if things fell apart.
But that's not a thought for now. There's only the giddiness, the warmth. The soothe lull of Mister LaRusso's voice, where thinking is a task for a more awake person, when the blood missing from his body is less noticeable.
But it's a happy kind of drifting off, where at least, Robby does manage to say: ]
Then you'll be okay.
[ There's an implication there, on purpose, despite being sappy--that if his being happy and alright can make this bearable, then there'll be nothing to worry about.
Such is the conclusions a sleepy mind can come to. ]
no subject
It sounds like he does. He really.. does sound happy.
And that's what matters most here. Daniel does kind of feel like he's okay as long as he knows that Robby is happy. If he managed to protect Robby's smile in the long run by taking this hit, then it's all fine with him. ]
I know you said you don't want to sleep. [ It was only a few moments ago, and thankfully it seems the impact didn't do anything to the memory part of Daniel's brain.. ] But maybe you should. Just for a little bit.
[ Robby seems happy, sure, but he seems tired too. And Daniel figures a nap migth be good for Daniel himself in this moment too, considering it seems like his body has a long road to go. Maybe he can try to see if he can talk to Chozen once he's awake again, try to see if the other guy can get a doctor to visit. ]
You know I'm not going anywhere.
[ Mostly because he literally can't go anywhere right now.
But, sssh.. ]
no subject
But he doesn't have even that much of an argumentative spirit in him to go along with. Instead, though it's not immediate, he shifts to tuck himself more against Mister LaRusso, as if acquiescing to the plan. He wants to say one last thing--not good night, but not something as strong as I love you. Something in-between, or some good positive thought, as if the last of what he said wasn't good enough.
Sleep finds Robby before those last words do, a light nodding off that will soon enough deepen.
At least sleep will help him get some of his blood back. Certain others will have a longer trip to recovery... ]
no subject
.. nothing else feels more important.
It's why the man stays awake for a little while longer. Just to watch Robby sleep, just to make sure the sleep the boy is having isn't too fitful, that he isn't having a nightmare..
But his body is too weak to keep that up for too long. After that litle while Daniel finds himself slowly drifting off to sleep as well, still holding Robby close the best he can. ]
