HIGHSCHOOL // AU

[birdsbirdsbirds]

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.

[Robin covers his face to keep back a sudden embarrassed laugh--not because of the idea of being filmed, but because of the young girl whose eyes go wide at the sudden swear. as she turns to her mother, presumably to tattle on Tek for saying a bad word, Robin keeps on walking and continues in a quieter tone.]

Jeez, that would have been stupid. Vine would have loved it.

[he shakes his head, taking them through self-checkout. $34 of useless garbage to add on top of the $20 lunch and maybe $15 of snacks? he wonders if his mom will even ask, or if she's just going to assume he's out with friends or picking up a hobby.

well, that's not far off. a little of column A, a little of column B.]

[don't forget the $8 of candles. you can't have a haunted doll adventure without something that at least looks like a seance, and you can't have that without uselessly burning a bunch of candles.

Tek obviously hasn't noticed the scandalized child--or any of the other ones around them--as he gets into line, places the doll on top of the board game in Robin's arms, and continues to speak a little too loudly.]

I could have put that on Instagram and gotten a million hits. Goddamn.

[and he's not letting that opportunity pass him by again. his camera is already out and taking photos (hopefully) of this leg in their quest.]

[Robin shrugs off the camera, even if it isn't pointed at him. he'd be lying if he wasn't planning on taking a few pics for the 'gram him own account. when opportunity knocks, right?]

All right, all right. Let's go home and give you something actually worth recording.

[there we go. things paid for, junk in a plastic bag, and out of the store they go!]

[with all of his carefully laid plans coming to fruition, Tek is overflowing with renewed energy. he can be a lazy little shit when he wants, but now he's practically skipping his way out of the store, frolicking a few steps ahead as they get back to the car.

thank goodness he has things to busy with on his phone during the ride back to Robin's place, otherwise he'd be bouncing in his seat.]
