“It doesn’t?” Vance has changed, hasn’t he, from the careful straight shooter chasing his picture perfect dream life. He used to try so hard and care so much about what other people thought. They both did.
But that was years ago. There are so few people whose opinions could change his mind now - and he already knows how most of them feel about his relationship with Vance. No offence to the rest of the team, but it’s Silhouette that he’s nervous about.
Vance is so calm about this, so reassuringly hokey with his talk of ripping off band-aids. No, it wouldn’t even matter what Sil said. If it doesn’t matter to Vance what anyone thinks, Robbie won’t give up being this close to Vance, and... that’s it, really.
He sits down on the couch hard and gives Vance a small smile, which morphs into a huge but awkward grin that he nervously chuckles off his face while he cracks his knuckles. “It doesn’t matter to me. I just don’t- didn’t want to to deal with you getting told that you could do better. Maybe you can, but we... you know. Fit.”
Which is why he’s been dreading what he thought was inevitable. The idea of giving it up was crippling. “My life would suck without you. I just want to be good enough that everyone’s like Vance’s life would suck without Robbie.”
