: ̗̀➛you meet him on his first day as dispatch for the z-team
: ̗̀➛you're a former villain, though unlike most of the other members you were tired of being a villain and ready to drop that life when SDN approached you
: ̗̀➛robert takes notice right away, even if he doesn't realize in the moment
: ̗̀➛he does this because out of the whole team you were nicest and the only one that didn't bully him
: ̗̀➛it becomes a habit for you to thank him when you finish a call or to tell him good morning and good night every day
: ̗̀➛ he's weirded out the first time before he quickly returns the favour each time. he's just so relieved someone is normal in this team
: ̗̀➛becomes the highlight of his day and he actively seeks you out in the office if you haven't said anything to him yet
: ̗̀➛ chase bullies the fuck out of him for it
: ̗̀➛ have you seen how easily he falls in love/goes along with someone without really thinking? yeah he does it all the time with you before he realizes his own feelings
: ̗̀➛any affection he just tanks regardless of how far he is in his own feelings
: ̗̀➛ he is well aware of how it looks, he does not care
: ̗̀➛and if you aren't really affectionate, he is
: ̗̀➛ friendly arm squeezes to pressing your shoulders together in places like the break room or the bar
: ̗̀➛firmly believe he would not make a move unless it was heavily implied you liked him back
: ̗̀➛ so when you say something vague and suggestive about him, like his voice being hot or anything just said too casual
: ̗̀➛he fumbles
: ̗̀➛ he's sooo tired all the time so it's only a matter of when he slips up and confesses
You’re sitting next to Robert in a booth at the hero bar. The rest of the Z-Team is at the bar, rowdy and all the more oblivious to the two of you right now. He waits for you before sliding in next to you, his shoulder nudging into yours. He’s done it so often now you don’t even blink. He stays close, side-eying the others before his lip quirks in some lazy smirk.
“Nice job on that last call today.” He murmurs. “Flambae was pretty pissed you beat him there. Smelled like gasoline when he came back to the office.”
You laugh and he leans closer without either of you noticing.
“Well one of us was going to hear the hot dispatcher say “Good job” and it wasn’t going to be him.” You say, leaning back.
Robert pauses—no, freezes.
“Hot dispatcher?” He coughs, ears looking red.
You roll your eyes.
“Yeah? Come on Robert. You got the sexy voice—nonchalant and shit. I’m pretty sure everyone has hit on you at some point around here. Hell, the things I thought against my will at first—”
He wheezes suddenly, turning his head away from you to compose himself. He clears his throat again, and slides further down the booth with a deep look of concentration, then he groans out loud and runs a hand through his hair.
“You can’t just…” He sighs. “I already think about—” He worldlessly flings a hand between you two. “ —this way too much for it to be normal.”
He realizes his words too late, his eyes widening ever so slightly.
“No. Shit.” He tries to backtrack. “I didn’t mean to—Fuck!”
You whistle.
“So…you aren’t going to ask me out?”
He actually flinches. Then he looks at you, for a long time. His jaw sets as he realizes it’s now or never and he asks you out. Short and sweet.
: ̗̀➛ you are both insufferable after
: ̗̀➛chase actively curses the two of you out if he sees even a second of contact, pinkies touching or whatever
: ̗̀➛he finally gets furniture because he is deeply ashamed whenever you come to his apartment even if you say nothing about it
: ̗̀➛not overly enthused with pda but will dip kiss you out of spite if someone says something
: ̗̀➛ enjoys falling asleep on you when he can. he prefers it to an actual bed
: ̗̀➛ he still operates as your dispatcher most of the time—but there are times where chase or another operator has to cover for him
: ̗̀➛he is blatant with his favouritism
: ̗̀➛ he sent flambae to deal with burglary that you were definitely more equipped to handle—and the latter returned with bruises all over
: ̗̀➛he threatened robert for months
: ̗̀➛robert didn’t care. He sent you to get a cat from a tree instead—the sound of you losing your shit over how cute it was over the comms was worth the torched keyboard he had to pay for out of pocket.
: ̗̀➛before or after shroud he is so thankful for you
: ̗̀➛he finally has someone that not only believes in him, but that makes him want to be more each day
: ̗̀➛kisses your fingertips at night before bed teehee
