Steamy 😛

Robert hasn’t had a single normal relationship in his whole 30ish years of living. I’m talking friends with benefits gone wrong, messy situationships, and relationships that were built upon the novelty of him being Mechaman (it never ends well)

I feel as though this has left Robert to think that no one actually wants him for him, (because when the fantasy of Mechaman wore off, they never wanted the man behind the suit.)

Robert still allowed these people to treat him poorly, because love is to fully give yourself to someone like sacrifice right? His father and his father before him loved so much and they gave their lives to others, so that must be the way things are, right?

He wants to be loved so badly, he has and will continue to give up everything he has to keep some for himself. Even if it kills him.

But then it almost did.

After the explosion, love is the last thing on Robert’s mind.

Robert is so tired. He’s got so much to do, repairing the mecha man suit, dispatching and dealing with the clusterfuck of issues he’s juggling. It’s just easier to just give up.

He has robbed himself of the family legacy of dying in heroic glory and he has robbed himself of the noble love that comes with it. (Not that he felt that he deserved it anyway)

That is until Flambae came along.

Flamebae once he got over his desire to constantly punch the man realised that it may of been a cover for something else.

The between the insults, the unwanted nicknames and terms of endearment was pretty much invisible. If they had been anywhere else other than the SDN they probably would’ve been sleeping together by now.

Flamebae wants nothing more than to fling himself back into the pit of anger, crime and lack of commitment that hes just crawled out of.

But it’s that stupid bitch Bobert that keeps reining him back in.

The dispatcher is always in his ear, his right tumbled voice lingering in his head, guiding him, nurturing him, steering him to do acts of good, to control his impulses and showing him how to be the hero he’s always wanted to be. Steadfast in his dedication to make him the best he can be despite the frustrations and endless shit he throws on his precious pretentious Bob Bob

It never ceases to make Flamebae feel invincible when he gets a genuine, dimpled smile and round of praise from the dispatcher when he actually listens to him during a successful mission.

So yeah, Flamebae realises painfully quickly that he’s halfway in love with his depressed, overworked, brown doe eyed dispatcher.

Very few people have ever held this much hope in Flamebae before (minus his sister and niece) and damn if that doesn’t make him swoon a bit from the sheer amount determination Robert has in him and the Z Team and he wants- no- needs to reciprocate that same hope.

But then he finds out that he’s mecha man.

Flamebae feels betrayed, fooled and strangely heartbroken. He feels like something inside of him slowly rots.

But then shroud happens, and he’s forced to confront something about himself.

He hates mechaman. But he loves the man beneath the suit more.

Flamebae understands now that Robert ruined his life only a little bit. He was already spiraling , the loss of his fingers caused the complete breakdown of himself.

Robert has compensated by being in his life. Making it better.

Flamebae wants nothing more than to make Roberts life better too. He can feel self reliance, the loneliness and the fear of burdening himself upon others. He just needs to find the right moment to lay everything out to the stubborn man.

One night the Z team goes out for drinks and Robert gets absolutely plastered and Flamebae very kindly takes him back to his place instead of his small sad apartment.

Robert is taken to Flamebaes spare room and he just breaks down. Wondering why he’s being so kind to him, asking if this is a trick and he’s gonna wake up in a dumpster again and pleading with him not to leave him.

Flamebae understands in this exact moment that Robert desperately needs someone to treasure him, understand him, pull him back and make him feel protected and taken care for.

Who is he to deny such a task?

He snuggles up to Robert in the guest bed and Robert passes out almost instantly, feeling his breath even out in to a steady, peaceful rhythm.

Flamebae makes a promise to the unconscious man beside him, that he will be taking care of Robert from now on.

The tension of the two of them is thick enough to slice with a knife and warrant a meeting with HR. But Roberts been too much of a wuss to make the impending HR violation and the obviously mutual feelings official.

But unlike Robert he is not a little bitch and he will do something about it!

Is it probably a bit obsessive, possessive and unhealthy? Well, yes! But if everyone is too high and mighty to keep passing Robert by. Then the responsibility of cherishing Robert is his and his alone.

Chat I’m cooked IM STILL GONNA DRAW TENNA DONT WORRY HES STILL RATTLING AROUND IN MY SKULL I just haven’t drawn human characters in a hot minute and it’s a nice break lol

Gotta ask, Blazer or Visi ?

_🩸

WaterBoy-

*Cough* I mean between the blonde women and that cameleon, I would choose Blazer because yeah she's nice. She treat Robert like he is a person not just MechaMan. While also likely have same insecurity like Robert in different form.

She is respectfull and profesional most of time. I understand Visi character tho. I just uncomfordable with her. Part of me dislike her too but yeah it just me

NOT EVEN HAVING ANY FUCKING WI-FI TO GO ON TUMBLR!

They literally came back at the same time but damn. I was in the trenches ya'll. Had to piggyback off of cafe wi-fi.
