he knows. ‘ i will catch you a thousand times ‘ HE. KNOWS. a twitch in his eye , fingers trembling . the villain eyed the words , written in blue ink . h - how ? HOW ? frantically rummaging through strings of memories , he tried figuring out if out of habitualness he had left a clue , a hint ; maybe the elf recognized those swirled bows & dips in his letters . or maybe , absentmindedly , he’d accidentally signed one of them with that unmistakable R R that he autographed every piece of paper with . his throat tightened , his mouth felt dry as sandpaper ; & yet his heart was pounding in his ears & in his chest . ❛ a thousand times , ❜ voice barely above a whisper. despite everything , the villain allowed himself to gently press the letter against his chest , feel the warmth of this promise seep into his body ...
he cringed very suddenly ; almost violently , he pushed the letter away from him , holding it as far away as possible , the very tips of his fingers clutching to the corners of the paper - eyeing it critically . ❛ this ... IS A TRICK ! ❜ he grunted out loud ( in an effort to convince himself ) . ❛ thinking he can soften me up with his unsolicited cheesy love letters a - and his lovey - dovey sweet talk & ━━━━ ❜ ah , the hypocrisy . ❛ WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW ?! ❜ he threw his hands up , panic in his eyes. he had absolutely not expected to even get this far ━━━━ & NOW HE WAS HELPLESS . it had been somewhat thrilling to see that little extra pep in Sportacus’ flips , that little flush on his cheeks , that lopsided smile when he undoubtedly thought of the sweet nothings his secret admirer sent to him , ignorant of the authors identity. & robbie felt safe in the anonymity. felt like he could open up completely to the man his heart ached for with every written word. so .... NOW WHAT ? robbie stayed far away from pen & paper for a whole five days . contemplating - attempting to ignore & eat away his INNER TURMOILS until they went away . but when has anything he wished gone truly ever disappeared ? one thing he didn’t wish away in that moment though was the branch he eventually found himself perched on , shaking - ❛ I’M STUCK . ❜ he choked out in dire realization . the letter was FINALLY written , the lever was pulled ━━━━ but the darn message tube got picked up by a sudden gust of wind , swirled in the wrong direction & landed in a tree top . ugh ! the things he did for love ...
