真剣佑の声が思いがけず良くて今でも聴いてしまう。Halseyの高めの声も可愛くて好き。こんなセクシーなMVだったのね。おでこや鼻をくっつけるのって良いよね。マットレス盗むなよっていうコメント多くて笑う。

Inspired by the song by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay

This stuck in my head ALL DAY. I had to get it out

Warnings: just some drinking. Cutsey Robby. Oblivious mutual pining.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

He hated these things. Why did he even agree to show up? He grumbled to himself like an old man sitting on his porch yelling at the kids on his lawn. He turned the whiskey glass in his hand, hoping Jack would be there shortly so he didn’t have to suffer as the only “Old White Guy”

About 15 minutes later, the Vet showed up and took his place next to Robby at the bar. They did a tequila shot together before both ordering the more expensive stuff: they could afford it, and sipped on it, chilled.

“Heard there’s a DJ tonight” Jack said and Robby groaned. The idea of loud, throbbing bass and whatever music was passing as “popular” these days, made him nauseous.

“Fucking hell…I knew I shoulda went home after shift” he shakes his head and takes a long sip of his ‘42 Don Julio.

Just as he resigned himself to suffer for the evening, the doors swung open. Santos was first, arm around Whitaker and a wide smile on her face. Javadi walked in with hesitation, she wasn’t 21 yet. Robby chuckled at her wide eyes…poor thing always seemed way over her head. Samira grabbed Victorias arm and yanked her in the rest of the way. Then, there was you.

Your smile was so wide, your dimples looked like they were reaching for your eyes. He could just make out the ring of green around your irises and his heart clenched at your hearty belly laugh. He wished he could make you laugh like that.

“You’re gonna start drooling, brother” Jack said and clapped a hand on Robby’s shoulder with a chuckle. With an eye roll that could rival a teenage girl, Robby turned in his seat to face the bar once again.

“You could just get some balls and talk to her, ya know, besides work related shit” he continues.

“She…I’m too old for her. She’s got too much life to live” Robby said, not even denying his crush at this point. Jack knew him too well.

“She’s 38, not 21, man. And besides, Mr. Feminist, who are you to decide what someone else wants or needs?” Jack asks with a raised eyebrow. Before Robby could even answer, the music started.

Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay started playing through the speakers and Robby heard your gasp from across the bar. You loved this song. It made you feel so happy and relaxed and it made you want to dance.

And you wouldn’t say this, at least not to anyone but Dana, but this song reminded you of Robby. Not that you could tell him that. He was oblivious to you, probably only knew your name because of your name tag. Ok, that wasn’t true. He was a great senior attending. He made sure to know everyone, just not the way you wanted him to.

You stood up quick and threw your arms up. “IM DANCING!” You proclaim, and the rest of the Pitt Cree surrounding you starts cheering in agreement. Robby watches as you move to the floor and you just immediately slip into the beat.

Your body moved so fluidly, you looked like you were in a trance. Your smile was taking over your face, your eyes glittering in the low lights of the bar. Trinity joined you and you both were completely and utterly lost in the moment.

Robby couldn’t get enough. The way you laughed, how your arms moved in graceful motions like you were casting a spell, your hips and waist circling and shifting from side to side. You were beautiful. A siren. He was hypnotized.

“Somebody I can kiss!! I want something just like this!!” You belt out loud enough the Robby can hear you. He chuckles and Jack watches as his best friend’s entire mood changes. 3 minutes ago, Robby was ready to drink the bar and uber home to sleep it off and now? Now he looked like a kid on Christmas morning, eyes sparkling at a mountain of presents.

Trinity spun you around and brought you back to her, jokingly fast dancing in a slow dance position. Both of you were laughing as you danced, letting the stress of the day fall off your shoulders.

Everything about you sparkled. Robby was hooked. ‘Who are you to decide what someone wants or needs’, he hears Jacks voice in his head.

“And I want something just like this!!” He hears you belt out again, right as he finishes his thought. His eyes catch yours and you BEAM. He didn’t think you could get any brighter, until you saw him. It was so obvious to him in that moment, he almost couldn’t breathe. He quickly reciprocated the smile and gave a little chuckle as you continued to dance fluidly to the beat.

He turned to Jack with a look on his face almost as if to say, ‘DID YOU SEE THAT?!’ And Jack chuckled and shook his head. “I told you, brother. She wants something just like this” he said patting Robby on the shoulder.

Robby sighed with a soft smile and downed the rest of his ‘42. “Fuck, she’s so pretty” he says to Jack before looking over his shoulder at you. The songs ends and your eyes are still fixed in his direction. You give him a cute tight lipped smile and bat your eyelashes and…were you, blushing? Fuck. You were.

“Something just like this, huh?” Robby says turning his head back to Jack. Jack shrugged and took a sip of his drink. “You’ll never know till ya try, my man” he said matter of factly. Robby nods and pushes back on the bar stool, grabbing the drink out of Jacks hand in the process. “Right” he says before downing the rest of Jacks expensive tequila. He lets out an “aahhh” before wiping the back of his mouth and standing tall. He puffed his chest out and turned around to see you. You and that fucking innocent smile.

“Wish me luck” Robby said to Jack, but keeping his eyes on you. You wave…just your fingertips at Robby and beckon him over with your head. The song had ended but the feelings stayed. This is why he came here tonight, he remembered, You.

“You don’t need it, but good luck anyway” Jack said just as Robby pushed off the bar to walk to you.

“Hey Cap” you said as he finally approached you. “What finally brings you out for a happy hour?” You asked with a wide smile and hopeful eyes.

He smiled down at you and reached forward to brush some wild hairs out of your face that had found their way there while you were dancing.

#Song of the moment

I call your name but you're not around

I say your name but you're not around

I need you, I need you,

I need you right now
