Chapter Text
"everything that you do, it makes my heart stop."
the first time Robbe saw him, rain wet his platinum hair, soaking the jacket that certainly wouldn't keep him warm. another thing he couldn't stop repairing was how even in the rain, the cigarette in his lips highlighted the piercing there.
in the right side. and my god, Robbe could die just by looking at him!
but it was impossible. Sander Driesen would never go out with him, right?
MONDAY, 08:36.
monday. again. Zoe's alarm clock echoed through the apartment, which until then was silent. already awake, Robbe got up looking for the phone.
knocked on the girl's door, and nothing. no answer.
— they haven't come back since yesterday, i think they slept at Senne's house.
— but without her phone? — Robbe asked, and Milan just shrugged, returning to eat his toast. he didn't have much time to waste and even if he didn't want to go to class, it was necessary.
walking around the almost empty streets of Antwerp, the only thing playing on his headphones when he decided he could be a little late, sitting on the bench was Brockhampton. the raindrops came back just like last night, which rained for an entire month.
— shit. shit. shit. — Robbe cursed, collecting the materials he had removed from his backpack, hoping they weren't wet. before he got up running, his vision was blocked by a sudden shadow.
a umbrella.
following the hand that held the umbrella with his eyes, he came across a funny scene. so funny it could just be a dream. sander-the-bad-boy-driesen kept him from getting wet in the rain? ha! funny.
— this can only be a punishment for missing class, right? — Sander asked laughing then bit his lip which had the piercing, waiting for the boy to get up, he did quickly after closing the backpack. too shy to say anything, just nodded. the cigarette on the blonde's lips was stubbed out and thrown in the nearby trash.
— let's go?
he asked, and Robbe was confused.
— where are we going?
— to class! or do you want to miss the rest of the day, Ijzermans?
how he knew Robbe's name?
it wasn't that far away, they walked side by side for about fifteen minutes and even shared the earphone, being silent after a few seconds was embarrassing.
there it was. the school.
— see you later, Ijzermans.
and left. Robbe stood there, watching him disappear under the raindrops, until realized he was holding the umbrella.
fuck.
well, at least it was an excuse to see Sander again.
