1x1 Grumpy Begginings

[rubyrocketboots13]

" An ultrasound? That sounds like a marvelous idea, Clair-bear" Haru said, smiling down at her warmly. Very gently, he put his hand to her tummy before kissing her forehead fondly. " I won't be too long, babydoll~" Haru said, pulling away from her just a bit to get his razor. With a little hum, he began trimming up his scruff a bit more so that it was even.

" How about I do a sunset sort of melting into a starry sky?" Tak asked with a smile. Cheerily, he gathered up his paints and a couple soft brushes. " Where do you want me to paint?"

Kira's cheeks were dusted with a faint pink as she kissed Jay back sweetly. " Mmph! You're just so wonderful to me, Lovey~" She murmured happily, hugging him.

" Of course you're coming along, if you want to of course" Robin said with a small smile, leaning over to kiss Matt's jaw, " You wanted to prove what you can do, remember?". Meeting Matt's gaze for a moment, the young woman felt her cheeks grow just a tiny bit warmer. She didn't know exactly why, but it only made her feel even more conflicted. " I'm going to go get dressed" Robin said suddenly, hurrying off to the bedroom she had slept in the night before in hopes of having a moment by herself so she could collect her chaotic thoughts.

Clair smiled and nodded slightly before cooing gently at his hand on her tummy as well as the kiss to her head. "Alright lovey. I'm going to get changed" she hummed and left him alone to go and grab some leggings and then put on a comfy t-shirt of Harus before taking one of his leather jackets and wrapping it abiut herself comfortably.

She lit up and seemed more than delighted at his suggestion. "That sounds beautiful!!" she chimed and looked over to him and nibbled on her lip. "Where would be easier for such a pretty thing?" she asked him not caring.

He chuckled warmly and wrapped his arm around her to bring her closer to him. "I love you and that's why" he purred almost and caressed her cheek gently and looked over her face. "Come. Let's go get cotton candy"

Matt nodded at her words and didn't mind the kiss much at all. "I remember and I promise" he told her softly and looked over hers face before she bolted and he looked to Julian. "Well?" he asked with a raised brow and sighed. "Want anything?"

[rubyrocketboots13]

" Perfect!" Tak said cheerily, quite pleased that she liked his ideas. " Hmm... I think your forearm or your back might be the easiest to do." He said thoughtfully. Tak had never painted on people before, other than the occasional face paint, but he was sure it was almost like painting a canvas.

Kira absolutely melted at his purr, her pulse racing just a tiny bit faster. Happily, she snuggled into him a bit more as he caressed her moon-shaped face. " I love you too, Jay~ " She murmured contentedly. As Jay mentioned getting cotton candy, Akira's eyes shone with pure delight. " Ooh~ Yes please!" She nodded in agreement excitedly, hugging her new stuffie a bit.

Julian leaned back on the couch, not so subtly watching Robin's long legs as she bolted out of the room. Smirking a bit, the blonde haired young man leaned back comfortably on the couch and pulled a cigarette from his shirt pocket before looking to Matt. "Are you sure you're not just her houseboy?" He asked pointedly, lighting his cigarette. Unlike Robin's pleasantly vanilla scented cigarettes, Julian's cigarettes smelled of something vile and almost medicinal. " A dame like Robin needs a powerful man by her side to take charge of her empire for her. Someone like me~" He boasted proudly, his good eye shining with greed before he smirked at Matthew, " Robin doesn't need someone like you. You're just a pawn to her. An expendable flunky in her ultimate plan."

Robin closed the bedroom door behind her, being sure to lock it. Frustratedly cursing under her breath, she sat down on the bed with her head in her hands. All of these strange thoughts she was having and all of these emotions bubbling up that she thought she had surpressed were just too overwhelming. It was all just too much for her to handle all at once. " I need to get roarin' drunk" Robin muttered to herself, her ancient New Orleans roots showing faintly in her outdated slang. With a blink of an eye, she summoned a bottle of her favorite red wine along with a crystal glass. After downing two glasses, Robin's tense shoulders relaxed a bit, but it didn't help the wild thoughts swirling in her mind- nor the raging hangover she had from drinking the night before. " Clair." Robin murmured, clutching her glass of red wine tighter, " Clair will know what to do". Without changing out of Matt's shirt and long sweater, Robin teleported to the Davidson's apartment, right outside of Clair and Haru's bedroom. " Clair... can we talk?" She asked quietly through the door.

Honey smiled and nodded a moment and thought. "Back. It's a bigger Ahhh paper? Can't think of the correct term." she blushed a bit in emberassment from not quite clicking as to it being a canvas. "I can lay on my stomach on the floor so you can paint on my back." she hummed happily.

Jay smiled and took her hand firmly in his. "Alright" he said happily and kissed the side of her lips before pulling her along. Heading to the stand and ordering two. The man took his time and made them into cotton candy flowers which was super cool. Handing one to Akira with a bashful grin on the boys face. "You're pretty" he said kindly and Jay sort of frowned at that and wrapped his arms around her, his head resting on hers and he did a slight huff to the boy who of course blushed and just went back to making Jay his cotton candy.

Matt paused what he was doing and looked to Julian and sighed, rolling his eyes. "Whatever. She can use me all she wants. I can be a houseboy so you say. I could be a pawn. A toy. I don't really care because I have nothing anyways. What more could I lose Hm?" he said looking Julian in the eye. "In a way I have more power than you do because those with nothing can do whatever they please, yiu are chained. And by her way of acting she isn't interested in you" he said with a shrug.

Clair had just finished putting her hair up when she turned at feeling a presence. Not jumping because she sensed the guardians distress, though she was a bit surprised she was right there. "Oh my" she murmured and hurried ti the door and opened it to look at Robin and her eyes softened. "Oh Robin." she said gently and took her hands to pull her into the room. "Haru! Haru baby? Love? Sugarpie? Do you mind maybe making a snack and some tea? I know we have to go in a bit but Robin needs me" she called to Haru who was just in the bathroom but didn't take her focus of the guardian before her.

[rubyrocketboots13]

Tak couldn't help but chuckle warmly as Honey was unable to think of the right term- he found it rather endearing. " Sounds good to me! I'll get you a pillow so you'll be more comfortable." He offered, getting one from his bed.

Kira blushed as Jay kissed the side of her lips, though she obviously enjoyed the sweet gesture judging by the lovesick sparkle in ger eyes. With a bubbly giggle, she happily followed Jay over to the cotton candy stand. " Ooh! That's so cool!" She cooed excitedly, watching as he made a lovely cotton candy flower. Kira blushed at the boy's compliment, though she didn't really believe him as he called her pretty. Quietly, she nuzzled into Jay and hugged him a little closer as she contentedly munched on her cotton candy.

Julian's smirk fell off of his face as Matt spoke, replaced by a sneer. " You really would stoop that low? Pathetic" He scoffed," What next? Are you going to wash her laundry and braid her hair? You really do deserve to be nothing more than her hired house servant. " Julian took a drag of cigarette, blowing out a grey-black smoke from his nose. " You know nothing about power, house boy. A mortal like you could never know what real power is" Julian hissed, " I could kill you on the spot right now if Robin wouldn't crawl my butt about it. She seems to like you for some reason. I can't understand why she'd want to hang around a weak nobody like you though" He scoffed, blowing another puff of vile smelling smoke into the air. " Maybe the rumors are true. Maybe Robin is getting soft. She's losing her touch~"

Haru had just finished shaving when he heard Clair's call. " Tea and a snack? Okay, babydoll! I'll bring it right there" He called back before heading into the kitchen to whip up a nice snack and some soothing tea. Haru didn't know why Robin was there, but he wanted to make her feel at home. Even though they were exes, they seemed to have at least gotten over their bitterness towards each other.

Robin's eye began twitching from her being so upset. Quietly, she let Clair pull her into the room without protest. " Clair, I... I'm just... so.. confused" She began, fumbling for her words as she clutched her already empty wine glass even tighter. " A-am I s-some kind of... evil m-monster?" She asked quietly. The young woman trembled before letting out a rather loud sob. For once, Robin looked just a tad less beautiful than she usually did as she sobbed and tried to hide her tears. The wine glass she has been holding slipped from her fingers, shattering into large shards on the floor.

[SpotSong]

Honey nodded with a smile and waited for the pillow before laying it down and then laying down herself, removing her shirt for him. "You can unclasp the straps or work around them, up to you"

Jay glared at the boy since we'll he was protective of what was his. He took his cotton candy when it was done. "Thanks" he grumbled before nuzzling her and kissing her cheek to prove to the boy whose she was and he got the point.

"I would. And is it really losing power to do such things as common chores? Get with the times old man, things are changing and if I have to do housework so be it." he sighed and shook his head. "And truly I say to you, I don't care what I do or if yiu kill me. Go right ahead." he grumbled with a scoff. "Kill me in my own home. Seems fair"

Clair looked over her and pulled her to sit on the bed, especially after the glass shattered and she let out a small breath, closing her eyes and using a bit of magic and ridding of the hlass before holding Robin close to her. Snuggled into her bosom like a coddled child. "Oh Robin...no no. You are not an evil monster. You are powerful my dear. I tell the truth. You are doing so good and I know things are confusing but it's okay. Just tell me all that's happening my dear" her tone was soft and cooing.

[rubyrocketboots13]

" I can work around them if you want?" Tak offered cheerly, kneeling down on the floor beside her with his paints. " Sorry if it tickles a little!" He chuckled warmly, beginning to paint the sunset and starry sky on her back.

" Thank you," Kira said to the boy before happily leaning into Jay's gentle nuzzle. She rather liked his overprotectiveness since it made her feel so safe and cozy. Contentedly, the petite teen leaned up and pressed a sweet (slightly sticky) kiss to Jay's cheek. " And thank you, Lovey! This is so much fun!" She said with a bubbly giggle

Julian looked almost disgusted that Matt would 'stoop to doing house work'. " Pathetic" He scoffed, taking a long drag of his vile-smelling cigarette. " It's not worth wasting a bullet to kill you. Besides, I'd feel bad if I got blood on your grandma's rug." The blonde said sarcastically before flicking off his cigarette ashes right on the rug.

Robin let Clair pull her over to the bed without protest before miserably crying even harder on her shoulder. Her entire frame shook a bit as she tried hard to control her tears. " I... I don't know what's wrong with me" She sniffled miserably, her voice thick with tears, " I must still be a bad person.."

Haru fixed up a few Nutella and caramelized banana sandwiches and set them on a tray along with a kettle of tea and a couple teacups. Carefully balancing the tray in both hands, he made his way back upstairs and knocked lightly on the door. As he heard Robin crying, Haru was quite hesitant to go in.

[SpotSong]

"Okay" she hummed and stayed still on the ground, making sure her hair was out of the way. "Hmmm it does tickle but it feels so nice" Honey cooed almost in a dreamy state and closed her eyes as he worked. Doing her best to not move too much and just take relaxing breaths so all would go well. Even humming a little tune, sounding like the scooby doo theme song.

Jay felt the sticky kiss but didn't mind one but and smiled warmly to her. "I am so glad you're having fun love. We havent even done some of the little rides yet~" he chimed happily and nibbled on his cotton candy as he walked with her. Being more protective as it seemed there was more people than moments before.

Matt raised a brow but a rumble left him when Julian let the ash from his cigarette to land on the pristine rug. "Its grandmamas rug. Say it properly" he huffed and moved over to him bitterly and without much a though he just had anger use him, making him try and take a swing at the intruder of his home. Trying to bunch the side of his face.

Clair held her friend so close and caressed her like a mother would. "Robin...hun...shhh...you are not a bad person! You are changing into such a wonderful woman...sure you have bad work but that doesn't make you a bad person. There has to be good and bad in this world as much as it hurts" she murmured and heard the knock. "yes haru" she murmured loud enough for him to enter and eve stay if Robin and himself wanted him to.

[rubyrocketboots13]

( XDDD I LOVE Scooby Doo! I like the Scooby Doo Where Are You the best though X3 Scooby was my entire childhood tbh XDD I even had a scooby bedset that glowed in the dark!)

Happily, Tak worked on painting a beautiful scene on Honey's back, careful not to get paint in her lovely hair. It was a little different to paint on a person rather than a canvas, but he thought that it was still a lot of fun. As Tak realized what Honey was humming, he couldn't help but chuckle warmly to himself and join in.

" Ooh~! I forgot about the rides!" She cooed happily, snuggling a little closer to Jay. With a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, Kira stole a little nibble from his cotton candy just to be a bit naughty. She knew Jay wouldn't really get terribly annoyed with her whenever she stole little nibbles and bites of his food.

Julian hadn't been expecting Matt's sudden anger, but he was quick to react. With a furious snarl, the young man threw himself at Matt and aimed a solid uppercut at his chin. " Houseboy, you need to learn something and learn it quick" Julian hissed, his hand going to the holster on his side," Never bring your fists to a gun fight."

Robin's loud sobbin began to slowly dissolve into a quiet sniffle and an occasional hiccup as Clair spoke so gently to her. Without lifting her face, the young woman murmured quietly, " My so-called line of work is all I've ever known.... it's the only thing I'm good at.." She cried softly, not bothering to wipe her mascara stained tears from her cheeks, " I-i must have been created to be bad. I can't... change my ways.... I'm nothing but a bad influence on everyone I meet" She sniffled miserably, burying her head in Clair's shoulder, " I am the worst possible person to be guardian. "

Haru peeked in as Clair told him that it was okay to come in. " I have snacks" He said, offering a small smile to Clair before stepping in. Robin didn't even lift her head to look up at him however.

[SpotSong]

((Haha omg XD thats awesome, its literally the first song that popped into my head as I was writing it out so...thats like...really creepy and funny XD))

Honey perked up a tad when she heard him hum along and she laughed. "Oh gosh was I humming that? I am so weird. I havent watched that show in...ages" she murmured honestly and moved her head enough to be able to see him out of the corner of her eye. A small yet warm smile stayed on her face.

Jay nodded happily before she took a bite of his cotton candy and he pouted. Full on pout mode. It was rather funny to be completely honest as he looked so silly with a pout. He didnt normally get angry but he did act like a child as it came to be. Though she would learn that more and more in the future. "Heyyyyy that was my bite"

Matt flinched at him moving so fast and groaned when he was indeed hit in the chin. Taking a moment to just try and get himself together after that. His eyes narrowed at julian and he grumbled. "Wimp. Relying on a gun when getting a close punch. Pathetic" he huffed and touched his bleeding lip since it split when Julian had hit his chin, causing his teeth to tear at his own flesh. He tried to hit him again primarily in the gut this time as it was a bigger target.

Clair rubbed the womans back soothingly and sighed oh so softly. "Robin, hun, dear...you can change your ways. Look at you...one minute you were trying to kill me and now you weep in my arms. That is strength to show weakness my Robin. My little bird" she murmued to her and kissed her head. "You are a guardian for a reason. I don't just let people be guardians. No one really does...but Robin you were made to fight and struggle so you can be the best you." Clair tried to aide her and looked to Haru sadly almost but a faint smile was there. "Thank you so much baby" she whispered and looked to the tray and so badly wanted a bite but moved her attention to Robin oncemore. "Can you tell me why you are so upset? Where you were?" she asked kindly, even if she knew everything already hearing the feelings from Robin would only make more sense.
