The roof, Monday Evening.

Robin had arrived back in town early that morning. His mother had actually considered keeping him home for awhile more, but Robin had insisted he really wanted to come back. In the end his parents had relented. He'd thought getting away from the places that reminded him of Beatrice would help.

It hadn't. He'd spent the day hiding under the rumpled blankets of his bed trying to sleep. Despite the fact that he was physically and emotionally exhausted, he'd failed.

Now he was seated on the edge of the roof staring blankly into the distance. He was far away from Bel's garden, he didn't want to emo on the plants.

[Open. Be warned, extremely woeful frog.]

Jack needed some time alone, to get some perspective on what had happened. Someplace where he wouldn't have to talk to anyone.

The roof seemed the logical place. And hey, there was a green roommate...full of woe? This wasn't good. He waved, being quiet.

Robin heard someone come up on the roof, and looked. He waved back at Jack, without much energy or enthusiasm.

"Hey Roomie. What,s wrong?"

"Hey Jack." Robin said. "I'm...just tired. It was a long trip." Robin didn't want to talk about what had happened. Because if he said it out loud, that meant it was true.

"You missed a hell of a weekend," he said. "I made my homecoming date in the family way!" he blurted.

That managed to cut through the fog in Robin's mind. "You what?"

"My date. Naomi. She was pregnant, and I the father, and...Robin? I think I was a good father, but I wouldn't let her do anything that might hurt the baby. I had the thought of putting that bubblewrap around her room."

Robin felt a strange combination of amusement and anguish. If only there were bubble wrap that good.

"Why would she do anything to hurt the baby?"

"I was really, really overprotective. Really."

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"But you're okay now?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
He was quiet. "I don't know."

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"How's Naomi?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"I think she's fine? Really haven't talked to her, Robin. I know, I know, I should."

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Robin nodded. "Friends are important."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes they are." He sighed. "You're still not talking?" He gave a half-shrug.

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure I'm talking." Robin said. "Hear me talking?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I hear ya. You've just been...quiet. Rough time?"

Jack was going to need more than the bottle of whiskey from what happened this weekend. How much liquor was needed to erase memories?

[identity profile] robinthefrog.livejournal.com 2008-10-16 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Robin nodded hesitantly. "Yeah. I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about it though."

"I'm all ears when you do," he said, nodding and looking away and brooding about WTF weekend, WTF
