Milkshakes : Now in Forgiveness Flavour [Closed]

[Misato Hazukashi]

Moe had begun to feel better. He was no longer afraid of going into school, he was back in the clubs he was joined to. He'd also turned over a new leaf where he no longer worried about what others thought of him. Now he was engaged he didn't have to care - he had someone there for him forever. So why couldn't he forgive Robbie? He'd not really known what Zac and Mia were going to do, so there was no reason hating the blonde. So, as he promised, he sought him out for a milkshake, dressed confidently.

He got to the lake around four, after waving goodbye to Fifi and spying out a ring for Vincent. Once he'd bought it (on the condition Vincent came to get his ring finger sized), he found himself in good spirits. The talk crap was in the past now. He was going to Misato Verax and Robbie was probably going to end up at their wedding anyway. Spotting a mop of blonde hair, the tiny teen waved his hand eagerly.

"Over here!"

[Robbie Wilkes]

He knew Moe had forgiven him but seeing the other boy was going to be nerve-wrecking anyway. Robbie had bought the milkshakes first before they were to meet and he hoped they didn't melt.

The lake was sort of quiet, with just a scatter of people milling around, jogging and playing Frisbee. Robbie looked around for the smaller boy and when he saw him, the blond waved back at him enthusiastically.

"Hey, hey!" Robbie walked over to the other teenager and held the tray of four milkshakes properly.

"I hope I'm not late. I got...vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and banana. I didn't know which one you liked so I bought all four." He paused and grinned at Moe. "How are ya?"

[Misato Hazukashi]

Moe clapped his hands together eagerly and then blinked at the tray packed with milkshakes. Wow, he really was making an effort, wasn't he? Shaking his head, he delicately took the strawberry shake, and sipped it, bopping his head. "I'll take strawberry for starters." He laughed, shaking his head and sitting down on the gress.

"I brought cake!" He added, pulling out a little cake tin from his bag and setting it down. "It's white chocolate and strawberry." Setting it down, he gave a little shrug, then burst into giggles.

"I'm great~" He cooed, pulling his hand up so he could show Robbie his plastic engagement ring. "I'm going to be Mr. Misato Verax!" And with that, he fell on the blonde boy, positively buzzing with excitement. He just hoped Robbie would be as happy for him as Fifi had been. Still, he squeezed Robbie's hand, then tilted his head like a bird. "How about you? Are things getting better?"

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Good choice, good choice." Robbie grinned and took the vanilla. He just hoped Moe hadn't been eyeing it next.

"You did? Sweet!" The blond enthusiastically sucked on his milkshake as he waited for Moe to cut into it so he wouldn't look like a proper hog feasting on it.

When Moe showed him the ring, his first reaction to it was "WHOA!" and a little bit of "Oman! Verax is one lucky sumbitch." and then a "Grats Moe!" He reached out to the smaller teen, hugging him tightly before looking at the ring once more.

At least he didn't gush.

"Ah, I'm good. I've got Estelle back so things are lookin' up." Robbie nodded. "I'm mighty glad for you though. Jealous of Vinny though. He got such a catch." The blond nudged Moe playfully.

[Misato Hazukashi]

Moe took a big sip of his milkshake and gave a thumbs up. "Delicious! Thank you." He said with a smile, before rummaging around for a cutlery knife in his bag and cutting the first slice, offering it to Robbie.

He leant into the hug and sighed happily. "I know~ I'm so happy, he just came out of nowhere and asked me." The boy put his hands on his chest and swooned, then took a new slice of cake for himself and nibbled it.

"I'm glad you and Estelle fixed things." He said honestly, using his free hand to give Robbie's own a squeeze. Moe took another bite of cake, then looked over the lake. "I was wondering if you'd like to be at the wedding, actually? I don't know when we'll be tying the knot properly but... I think Vin would like you there. I'd like you there."

Moe smiled warmly, then licked the icing off the top of the cake.

[Robbie Wilkes]

Robbie beamed, glad Moe liked the milkshake he bought. It was from Kali's. He should personally thank Kali the next time he went there.

Taking the piece of cake, he gobbled it up in one breath. Robbie couldn't understand how someone like Vincent could work up the nerve to get down on one knee and promise to spend the rest of his life with another. It made him sort of wonder why he couldn't even see past a week with the same girl.

"Yeah, so am I. I was afraid she would be too angry with me but I tried to explain to her and she thankfully forgave me. I'm glad you've forgiven me too, Moe." He patted the other boy's hand and perked up when he was asked to be in the wedding. "What? No way! Are you kidding me? I'd be honoured, Moe! Yes! I'd totally be there!" Robbie grinned widely.

Just because he didn't believe in the constitution of marriage, didn't mean he couldn't celebrate his friends' happiness.

[Misato Hazukashi]

Moe sat there sipping the milkshake feeling like the world was turning right side up again finally. He didn't hate Robbie, Zac wasn't really in his face any more, and he had sent an honest apology for beating him up. He'd even gone to Sean and given himself up.

"I'm glad too. I don't really have any close guy friends, they're all girls." Moe admitted, nudging Robbie playfully. "But I'd like to be close with you, because you seem good and kind. Sometimes you make wrong decisions but so does Vinvin." He continued, nibbling on his cake.

"So maybe we can hang out more some time in the future?" He piped up hopefully, smiling. "Just next time Zac asks you to do something, come ask me if it's actually a good idea or not?" He shrugged his shoulders, then finished off his slice of cake and rummaged around in his bag again.

"Actually. I have a big favour to ask." He paused and shuffled closer to Robbie, giving his hand a little squeeze. "I... I want someone to go dress shopping with me, but from a man's perspective so that when I show Vin my dress he goes WOW. So would you come with me? And um... Maybe go with Vin to get his suit." The boy looked shifty.

"I don't want him wearing leather pants and a fishnet shirt."

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Yeah, what's with you not introducing me to them?" Robbie teased, playfully nudging Moe back. "Nah, just kidding. I've got a girlfriend now and she's all sorts of awesome." He grinned, puffing his chest out proudly.

"Aww Moe...you're making me blush." Not really, though. Although he did feel slightly embarrassed by the good characteristics Moe was listing down. He didn't particularly feel they were warranted but who was he to argue with Moe?

"I'd like that!" He exclaimed, sipping his milkshake enthusiastically. "Well," he bit his lower lip and turned his gaze away when Moe told him what to do with Zac. He would have loved to reassure Moe that he will try but he didn't know if he could. "I...I can't promise you that, Moemoe. I'm sorry. It's like...I can't help but go along with Zac's plans. It's much the same as I am with you or with Vin...or Dani. Once you come calling, I'm just...obliged to follow you." He replied truthfully.

Robbie tilted his head slightly at Moe's request. "Wait...really? You're giving me a free pass to-" ogle at you in a dress? Robbie didn't finish his sentence, instead, he laughed and shook his head. "Sorry. I mean...sure. That would be fun."

The blond laughed at Moe's description of something Vin would most probably wear. "Well, I'm going to try and get him to wear something over it at least." He laughed, wiping the tears from his eyes.

"So when are you thinking of having the wedding?" Robbie asked.

[Misato Hazukashi]

Moe wrinkled his nose a little as Robbie smirked, and shook his head. "You know Dani and Fifi already, right?" He laughed softly, then drew his lips around his straw and took a big sip of strawberry.

He cut another slice of cake and nudged it over to the blonde boy, before shrugging his shoulders. "Everyone has a redeeming quality. Well. Most people." He wasn't sure Zac had any, but he didn't want to think of him.

Frowning gently, Moe turned Robbie to face him and gripped his shoulders. "You aren't just everyone's doormat Robbie." He said firmly, looking a little upset. "It's okay to say no, and it's okay to disagree with things. Because if you don't say no it'll only get worse and worse till people start taking advantage in bad ways." He sighed gently, grabbing Robbie's hand. "And you're not bad. You're just kind of gullible. I don't want you in prison! Or getting beat up any more."

Free pass to...? Moe blinked confusedly, and finished his first milkshake with a happy sigh. "Well I need a man's view, don't I? And you and Vin think kind of similarly." He offered a tiny shrug, then pulled the magazine out of his bag, looking down at the glossy pages. "I've been looking through this, but they're all kind of busty." He frowned and pointed. "I don't have boobs."

State the obvious Moe.

"I don't know. Zac's payout is paying for our engagement rings and I'm using mine to buy a car." He scratched the back of his head. "I'd like to have it before I graduate... else things are going to get hard and I don't know if I could stay on in the USA with my student visa. I want to have it in the summer maybe? It's up to Vin and our finances." The tiny brunette smiled, then took the banana milkshake next.

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Well yeah, I ought to know my girlfriend at least." Robbie laughed.

"Oh thank you," the blond grinned and took the cake, scarfing it down without further thought. He started to protest at Moe's "most people" remark but he decided against it. It was already good enough the pixie dusted teen had forgiven him. He really shouldn't push his luck by arguing to early into their repaired friendship.

Robbie frowned when Moe called him a doormat. He wasn't. That wasn't even what he had in mind. He refused to be a doormat for anybody. Even Dani knew that. "But you're my friends. I can't just say no to you." Moe calling him gullible made him a bit upset but he didn't show it. He just shrugged.

He was glad for the distraction of the next statement and nodded. "Well both of us like you, so yeah, we have similar tastes." Robbie grinned, nudging her playfully. Robbie looked down at the magazine and shrugged. "Use those filler bras. You know, the ones that bust up your bust or something? And don't they sell those silicone pads?" He asked. "Alternatively, you could always get those dresses and trim the bustline."

Robbie nodded as Moe explained her situation. "That makes sense. Whenever you do it, I'm going to be in it so it'll be awesome." He grinned, pulling Moe into a one armed hug. "Vin's lucky to have you Moe."

[Misato Hazukashi]

"Your girlfriend?" Moe said with a high-pitched voice, clapping his hands to his cheeks. "Dani is your girlfriend?!" He squealed with delight, wriggling slightly. "Why didn't she tell me? I'll have to find out all the details." Because this was a match made in heaven, as far as the tiny brunette was concerned. Dani could definitely keep Robbie in line and Robbie could give Dani all the fun and happiness she deserved.

Buzzing with this news, Moe pursed his lips around the straw again and took a big sip. "No worries! Cake is to be eaten, and you're all skin and bones!" A tiny hand pinched at Robbie's side, and he laughed. Pot calling the kettle black much?

Moe realised by a little twitch in Robbie's eyebrow he'd over spoken, so he gripped Robbie's hand and pecked him on the cheek. "You're a good sweet person." He said stubbornly. "But you must say no." Wiggling his finger in a would-be stubborn way, he smiled and returned to his milkshake, bobbing his head from side to side.

"I don't want to be fake on my wedding day!" He exclaimed at the idea of wearing false boobs. "I'm a boy. I'm just a boy who looks adorable in dresses." He flicked the page to a less busty dress. "That's more like it. I could ask a tailor to remove the bust part though." He pondered, then grinned. "Thanks Robbie." He gave an awkward little thumbs up, then flopped into Robbie's arms.

"No, I'm lucky to have Vin." Moe nodded slowly, then rested his cheek on Robbie's shoulder. "He's not the smartest, but he loves me and he makes me happy~"

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Well it can't be Fifi, can it?" Robbie laughed, delighting in Moe's enthusiasm and grinned when the smaller boy wanted details. "Try getting it from Dani. I'm pretty sure she'll make it even more interesting than it actually was."

Robbie tried to avoid Moe's poking fingers while giggling. "Come on! You know I'm ticklish there!" Robbie stuck his tongue out at Moe and rolled away away from the dark-haired teen. "You're one to talk you rag and bones. I'm buff!"

The blond chuckled at Moe's attempt at being stern. He really didn't have a stern bone in his body.

"Adorable? Moe, you look hot in anything you wear!" Robbie enthused. "But yeah, so you could pull the bust in obviously. I'm pretty sure Vin would like you in anything. Or out of it." He teased and grinned as Moe flopped on to him. He patted the boy's curls and listened to the smaller boy gush about his fiance.

"That's for sure," Robbie huffed a laugh when Moe mentioned that Vin loved him. That was stating the obvious. "That's good. If he stops making you happy, you know my number." Robbie teased.

[Misato Hazukashi]

"Well it wouldn't surprise me." Moe snorted, making a sly dig at Robbie's promiscuity. "Did you sweep her off her feet and tell her she was beautiful?" He cooed, edging closer. He could imagine it now, with Robbie holding out flowers.

Moe continued to poke, giggling as Robbie giggled, and nudging him. "Hee, I'll tell Dani that!" He said triumphantly, before making a face. "I'm just fine! I'm plenty of meat!" He tried to grab a little piece of fat on his stomach.

"Noooo, I look horrible in baggy pants." Moe complained, shaking his head. "I just want everything to be perfect for us." He breathed, taking another sip of milkshake and swooning. "I wanna remember it for being the best day of my life." With beautiful flowers and him in a long dress, Vincent in a handsome suit... He sighed dreamily.

"Pfft, who says I'd go for you." The brunette teased, nudging Robbie. "You're handsome but you're naughty." He waggled his finger, then leant back and closed his eyes. Vincent would kill anyone that tried to steal him away, Moe was sure of it.

And he didn't want dead Robbie.

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Well hey!" Robbie laughed, clearly unperturbed by the subtle jibe. "Naw. I'm no Vin. He probably did that to you right? Or wait...didn't he look up yer skirt the first time you met?" He asked, remembering Vincent telling him something like that.

"Aww dang it!" The blond snapped his fingers but laughed anyway. "Ha! Please. My cheeks have more meat than you and don't even get me started on baggy pants. Nobody looks good in baggy pants." He pointed out.

"And it will, Moe. I'll employ people to make sure of that." He nodded decisively.

Robbie clutched his heart and gasped. "How could you say such a thing? Wounded, Moe. I'm wounded!" he dramatically threw a hand over his forehead and fell down to the ground on his back with a thud. "How will I live with this knowledge? Woe betide!"

[Misato Hazukashi]

"Yeaaah." Moe groaned, facepalming and rolling his eyes. "I was sitting in a tree checking up on some baby birds when this idiot sets fire to himself." He remembered that day clearly. "Then he comes over and stares up my skirt and eats chips." Another facepalm.

Moe scoffed and pouted about the meat comment. "I'm totally well padded!" He complained, pinching his thighs and trying to find a place that was well padded. "That's true." He said in a sing-song voice, imagining Vin in baggy pants and making a little disgusted face.

"Promise?" He said suddenly, gripping Robbie's hand. He didn't want Zac to crash it and ruin it, or for there to be slutty girls or explosions. Just happiness, no stress.

"Oh my poor Robbiebunny." Moe simpered, leaning over Robbie and putting a hand on his chest. "I was only teasing!" He sighed and pretended to cry, sniffling. "Now I will have no magical Robbie to cheer me up!"
