HIGHSCHOOL // AU

This shit has practically become its own canon so here's a post pulling it all together.

1) Robin and Tek meet at a party, get drunk, play gay-chicken in a closet, get kicked out of said party, and then have a weird sleepover at Robin's house.
2) They wake up in the middle of the night because Tek has to puke, but Robin is nice about it and the two of them fall back asleep.
3) They meet up again after school, and Robin "invites" Tek out to go eat at Danny's and see a movie.
3) At the movies, hilarity ensues.

ALSO THIS STUFF (not in chronological order yet):

Also notes for the canon:

Robin's parents are divorced; his biological dad is not brought up much. His step-father is doing work abroad and has brought many of Robin's step-siblings with him. Robin was left behind to finish his education and he's been bitter about it ever since. His aunt swings by to take care of him, feed him, make sure he's doing okay, etc., and his mom Skypes with him at least a couple of times a week.

Also his teenage name is "Robin Redmond", lol.

[somewhere in there, Tek can feel Robin laugh against his skin, leaning forward to chase him when he squirms just a little too far away. and then he bites him without really thinking about it--gently teasing, maybe, because it just feels like the right thing to do.

and if that goes well, he'll finally start running his hand over Tek's lap, feeling his way around (and finally solving that age-old mystery: what the hell does the gender-bending teenager actually have going on below the waist?).]

[oh, it goes over well. is it any real wonder that he might be into some boy he barely knows biting him a little bit? he kind of seems the type.

so, there are absolutely no qualms to be had about Robin doing a little exploring of his own. it turns out that beneath his carefully-chosen clothing (such as his well-fitted boxer briefs, because no one wants weird lumps showing where there shouldn't be while wearing a skirt) he's just as much boy as Robin is. and he's having just as much fun.

after just a moment of that sort of attention, he can't help but shift in place a little. that restlessness that had him fidgeting continues to spread, until he (either eagerly or self-consciously or both) turns his head and bullies back towards Robin's face, hunting to catch him in another kiss.

he's having a hard time thinking--he's not meaning to try, it's just kind of what he does, even at a time like this. all the interesting little thoughts he'd been toying with for the past few days are suddenly true and happening. the drinks in his system make it seem like it's all happening more quickly than it is. and he likes it. he's dizzy and feeling stupid, his brain floats up to gain a certain perspective on things, and something clicks.

a few heated seconds into another deep kiss, gratefully slinking closer where he's being touched, he... suddenly laughs a little, against Robin's mouth.]

[he can't believe he's getting away with this. he hardly complains as he's dragged back into kisses, and a quiet groan escapes him as Tek slinks closer against his hand (...and something else, a situation which is becoming increasingly uncomfortable in those fashionably tight pants of his).

but right now, he doesn't really care what happens, only that something is happening. the only other time he's been this handsy with a boy was that singular, awkward night from years ago--and there's very little he wouldn't do for the chance to replace those memories with the image of someone who actually wants his attention.

so his guard is down when Tek suddenly laughs. he laughs too, a little giggle in response, as if it were contagious, and asks--]

What...? Why're you laughing?

[his voice comes out quietly--but somehow it still surprises him to hear it out-loud, as if finally hearing a shard of solid reality through the haze of his dreamland.]

[yeah, there really is something a little jarring about hearing voices out loud like that in this very surreal moment, isn't there? maybe it strikes at whatever thought had already been stirred up in Tek's head, hitting him funny, because he laughs again.

it's a good out-loud giggle, now that there's not someone else's face in the way. and then hearing that stupid sound makes it worse. the laugh compounds and he ends up plunking his forehead against Robin's a little helplessly.

something is apparently very funny.]

Wh... What are you...

[it's really... cute, seeing him helpless like this all of a sudden. it goes on for so long that Robin begins to worry, a little, that maybe Tek has suddenly run second thoughts or has finally cracked under the enormous pressure of whatever instability leads to his bad decisions--but at the same time, Robin is still half-soaked in hormones and stupid, brain-numbing giddiness, so all the worries in the world couldn't keep him from giggling back and dragging Tek closer into a warm hug.]

Oh no, I broke him... [he jokes to no one.]

[well, he gets him to stop laughing, at least! in reaction to being pulled over into a definite hug, the giggles break into a lazy shriek. he struggles, but the whole thing is a joke. he hasn't stopped grinning for a second.]

Gross! [anything but hugs and affection! yuck!]

Gross?

[he laughs, making up for Tek now that he's finally stopped giggling. he gives him an affectionate squeeze before snuggling his face aimlessly towards his new boyfriend's cheek.]

You think that's gross? [it's funny how... comfortable he feels, even though they've stopped.] What the hell where you laughing about, huh?

Eeew! [he wails, playing up the fact that he's trapped and helpless. keep this up and he might start kicking his stupid stocking'd feet again.

though, at the question, he does pause in his squirming long enough to pull back and grin up into the face of his attacker.]

I just... you'll never believe it.

Oh, no...

[he says this with an ounce of dread, even though he has to try very hard not to outright grin as he sidles his way closer again. they may be talking now, but it feels good to be close to him, and that isn't going to go away unless he has a very cold shower.]

Okay, try me. What is it.

[yeah, Robin still definitely has a drunk boy squirming around in his lap. that fact has not changed. and the drunk boy in question has to get nice and close again, because important, shocking information is being shared.]

It's crazy, but I... [he grins, and that dumb giggle from before threatens to break out again, but he manages to hold onto it long enough to tell him] --have a boyfriend.

[finally, something gets to him. he looks surprised, eyes widening to stare at the boy in his lap like he can't believe what he just heard.]

That's why you were laughing? In the middle of everything?

[he's grinning like he can't stop, and he nods!]

I... have a boyfriend.

[because both points of emphasis are important here, to encompass all that he's caught up on.]

Oh... My god...

[he's not sure what to think of Tek's epiphany--it's precious and confusing and something of a relief all at the same time, so a smile comes creeping onto his face again, followed slowly by a sly grin as he rests a hand on the other's thigh.]

Are you telling me... [let him just put two and two together, here.] That I'm your first boyfriend?

[even grinning and giddy, he still manages to huff and roll his eyes. literally nothing can get in the way of that.]

Ugh... no. [but that answer sure sounds like it's said with some amount of uncertainty.]

I just didn't have one this morning, you know? And...

[he shrugs, looking tipsy and young for a minute.] Just... all of the sudden I do.

[Robin doesn't completely believe him... but it doesn't take him long to decide that he doesn't want to chase after it.]

Okay, okay...

[besides, if Tek isn't going to admit that he's sort of new to this "boyfriend" thing, Robin doesn't have to admit to it either.]

I guess it is all of a sudden, huh. [he runs his other hand through Tek's hair, almost petting him--which could accidentally be read as a condescending gesture, but he honestly started doing it without thinking about it.] But you don't mind, right?

[he blinks, surprised, when Robin touches his hair. if it had been another day, he might have pulled away or swatted at him, but he's a little too caught off guard to protest. as it is, his blinking is rather slowed, as if he's sleepy--but considering the general state of things, it's probably much more likely due to the alcohol. sleep is not exactly at the top of his list of priorities right now.]

Mind? [the smile comes back, looking pretty smarmy this time.] ...Not yet, anyway.

[well, if anyone can match a smarmy smile, it's Robin.]

Guess you'd better enjoy it while it lasts, huh?

[but he's still in a very good mood, still tipsy on his bizarre new reality--so he doesn't mean to imply that their relationship will eventually go up in flames. sure, it probably will, but you're not supposed to say that kind of thing out-loud!

he cants his head to the side, leaning back just a little... and he stops fidgeting with Tek's hair so that he can brush his fingers along his neck instead, smiling a little easier.]

"Robin has a boyfriend..." [he imagines other people saying it to him, mostly with spite and disgust, and smiles more.] I kind of like it, though. S'got a nice ring to it.

[ah yes, the neck is nice, even if it is just fingers against his skin. he tilts his head to the side to be encouraging about it, and gazes back at his new friend while he's at it.

Robin is just nice to look at, and he has all the right in the world to stare at him, now. they belong to each other in a way, right? at least a little bit? because he thinks that thought has a nice ring to it. he likes the looks that they're reflecting back at each other. he likes that they can stand each other, despite the strange day and a half they've had, and it's a surprise. they match.

and maybe that's what he'd meant with his earlier revelation. it sounds about right, and the thought still makes him want to laugh. so, maybe that's it.

after those moments of sly, happy staring, he looks like he's going to answer Robin. but he changes his mind on the banter last minute, and leans forward to decisively kiss him instead.]

[ah, always a welcome alternative. he sounds happy to have Tek leaning back in to give him a little attention. he kisses back, of course, no question about whether or not this is how he'd like to be spending his time.

though, speaking of time... it slowly occurs to him how late it is, and how school tomorrow is going to be a mess, if not impossible altogether. he'd been toying the the idea of asking for a little while, but with how well things have gone, he finally finds a chance to break away from the kiss for a moment and ask--]

Hey, you wanna go up to my room?

[Robin manages to find such a good moment for it, asking it like it's nothing. and it makes Tek grin in that way that makes it seem like he might laugh again, but he doesn't. he looks like he wants to start teasing or causing trouble, but he ends up just answering--] Sure. [and he wiggles off of Robin's lap as deftly as he can.]

[he still needs a minute, though. this alcohol thing is still new to him, and he suddenly finds out the fact that you never quite realize how drunk you are until you stand up.]

[it's good that Tek answers nicely. Robin may have been quietly holding his breath.

he laughs (maybe out of relief) as Tek wobbles to his feet. he's quick to join him, instinctively reaching out to take an arm and steady him as much as he can. he feels fine, if not a little jittery, and doesn't waste time starting to lead him back around the couch.]

You gonna fall? I could try to carry you, but I can't promise it's a good idea...

I'm not a goddamn princess-- [says the pretty boy in a skirt.] I got it... I got it.

[he's fussy about having his arm taken, too. he's a grown-ass teenager who can handle his liquor and doesn't need to be steadied.

...though, he does kind of snag Robin's hand and refuses to let go as the other boy leads the way.]

Okay, okay...

[fine, he gets the picture--even as his heart flutters, a little, at getting to wrap his fingers around Tek's lovely hand and lead him around.]

You really don't like that "princess" thing, huh...

[a little weird for a dude in a skirt, but Robin is hardly going to push it. he's busy leading them through the house, down the hallway, and up to his room. they had just been up here the night before. it's strange--no one is ever in his house, and here comes Tek, getting to crash here for the second time in a row.]

Yeah, well guess what I get called before getting knocked into lockers.

[--which he probably would not have just snarked back with if he'd been sober. and (luckily for everyone) he's probably not going to remember it later, given how it leaves his mouth easily and doesn't seem to really make a dent in his mood as it goes. with how he tends to sink with a vengeance whenever something upsets his fun even a little bit, it's clear that liquor is evening things out.

he even gets happily distracted with sliding his stocking-feet along the slippery hardwood floors as he follows Robin. he's fine, and Robin gets an honest answer for free.]

Oof.

[it's the sound of regret for having brought it up. good to know. Tek's honesty, however intoxicated, rewards him with Robin noting not to ever call him a princes in the future.

they walk in on Robin's room, which is much the same as it was the night before. stacks of books, some piles of clothes, a large bed, black walls. on the way in, Robin turns on his heel and tugs Tek close enough for another kiss.]
