French Fries and Bad TV (Ruby and Robert, H&M)

[imawesome_ruby]

Ruby was glad that she wasn't going to be alone tonight. It had been a difficult few days, and she was tired to her very core. Being unable to sleep, she had not been looking forward to a long night of infomercials by herself. She had wanted Robert to come over, but as she had told him, she feared monopolizing his time. She always wanted him there

Robert was tired, but not so tired he wouldn't rather be with Ruby than go back to his empty room.

He loved all of his customers to a degree, or he couldn't do his job, but Ruby, the one he chose for himself, was special, and being with her fed his spirit in a way that no other could.

He knocked quietly, not wanting to disturb the neighbors.

Ruby pulled herself from the couch and hurried to the door, unlocking and unlatching. She smiled at him, a bit sadly, and threw her arms around him tightly. It was what she had been wanting to do all day long.

He sighed with contentment to feel her in his arms, and he held her close.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, Robin, I'm fine," she said, relaxing as she clung to him. "It's over now."

She held him for a good long while before finally letting go and hurrying into the kitchen to get the fries (which were getting quite brown and crispy) from the oven. Then she grabbed the ketchup out of the fridge, dumped the fries onto a plate and returned to the couch, patting the place beside her.

"You look tired."
