moved!

It’s heartbreaking that Robby blames himself for Johnny abandoning him. He was an unwanted child whose father abandoned him the day he was born and continued to do so afterward. Whose mother also got fed up of him/gave up on him.

He lives with this belief that no one loves him or wants him because he is a bad and unlovable child. That he is the problem. And no one makes an effort to dispel this belief of his. It only gets reaffirmed further with another parental figure, Daniel, also abandoning him.

“I like the cut.”

He said we all saw this coming. But I didn’t. Not that night in your car after homecoming. Or when I made you that hat at Thanksgiving and the floppy little ears looked so dumb, but it was honestly the cutest thing I’d ever seen. God, Ricky Bowen, you have been a surprise since the day we met. You weren’t the plan. You were never the plan. Plans change. And if you want me to shut up, I’ll shut up, but I don’t have “maybe” feelings about you. You aren’t a maybe. You’re a yes. And I like to know where people stand with me and so now you know where you stand with me.
