He didn't know how he got here and he didn't know why he was still here. Damon sat there in a corner as water splashed around him and people ran by him. He kept shrinking into the corner cowering in fear. He hated this so much right now and he cried a little. He hated water and was afraid to drown in it.
What had made him come here was he had gotten lost again. He ended up at the pool and had been dragged into it without no words. He had gotten away from all those people and had curled up into the corner before he could be grabbed again. He had tried to get out, but people kept stopping him trying to get him into the water. He hated the water with a passion it didn't work with his body density (or so he thought.)
His corner was the only safe place for him. If he came out of this corner he would be taken into the pool and he would drown. He hated being here so much. He didn't think anyone would save him and he would be stuck here til everyone was gone. He put his head in his arms and started to cry.

Robin walked into the pool area, dressed in a worn out old tshirt and board shorts. He placed his backpack on a chair and pulled his shirt off, messing up his hair as he did, before throwing it on top of his backpack. He than kicked off his shoes and began strolling towards the pool to jump in when he saw a boy cowering in the corner, wet and scared.
As much as Robin loved being a prankster no one deserved to look as helpless as this boy did and Robin's defensive personality kicked in, overriding and mischievous plans he had previously had. He walked over to the boy and belt down beside him, checking him over to make sure he didn't look hurt before he spoke. Who did this to you? I'll make them pay for whatever they did no matter the reason.
Robin tried to convince the boy to get up but it seemed useless. And so he thought for a moment and thought hard. Than he added, You can trust me. Me and my crew only harm when we pull pranks and even then we never mean to kill, only make or seriously injure. Robin laughed at his own joke before adding, I'm Robin. Pleasure to meet you. Now seriously, tell me who I need to tackle and tie from the flag pole by his underwear.
Robin smiled at the boy and held out a hand, trying to show his friendliness and that he was safe. He needed to get the boy's trust and sometimes humor was the best way. So why not give it a shot.

Damon shook his head and said, "I got lost and then people pulled me in and tried to get me in the water. If I go in the water I will drown and die." He shivered as he sat there afraid of even the pool water touching him. It took him forever to shower and get used to, but he got in and took the shower. He didn't like doing the showers, but he was still forced into it.
He looked into the boys eyes for the first time and gasped. The boys greenish grey eyes seemed to attract him straight to the boys face. He saw the freckles dotted on the face of the boy. He was beautiful to the Damon and he wanted to do something he should never do.
Suddenly without knowing his hand reached up and brought the boys face closer to his. He felt safe around this boy and didn't know what he was doing. He parted his lips as he kissed the boy with surprise. His eyes closed as the pleasure went through his whole body. He shivered and smiled not knowing what he was doing. He felt whole doing this and being with this boy and hoped this would never end.

Robin listened to the boy's panicked rambling and attempted to calm him but his attempts were futile. He just crouched beside the boy and tried to shush him and soothe him. The boy seemed to be too petrified and terrified to be calmed and than suddenly he stopped. Robin relaxed and stood up, taking a breath and getting ready to speak when his lips became occupied suddenly and surprisingly so.
Robin was in shock and didn't know what to do. He didn't even know who this boy was and the kid was locking lips with him after having a near mental break down. Part of him wanted to run but part of him wanted to stay and kiss him back. Part of him wanted to laugh and part of him wanted to go hide. His mind was scrambled by all these emotions and so he stayed immobile as the lip lock continued and Robin did nothing to end it or return it.
Robin finally pushed the boy off of him a bit, shock written clearly on his face. Sure he was bi but he was not one to kiss someone like that (or do anything like that for that matter) without at least knowing the person a while and knowing he had feelings for him. This was... Robin couldn't even put this to words. Good thing no one seemed to have seen the action as this would have made it back to Hatter and Peter and who knew who else in no time and Robin's rep (and life) would be over.
After a moment of silently staring at the boy he pushed his hair back and said, "What were you thinking? I don't even know who you are and you do THAT?! DO you have a screw loose? He breathed and stared at the boy a moment longer, feeling bad for what he had just said. After a moment he added. 'I'm sorry but you can't just go around doing that. If you wanna make friends and such you can't just spring that on people and worse yet thats not the proper way to ask someone out. Also you can't just assume a person plays for your team. You never know... you know? He sighed and than added "Listen... lets for get that just happened and start over. I'm Robin. Nice to meet you. Who are you?
Robin still wasn't sure how he felt about this whole mess but he knew he had to do something to be nice to the boy. And so he would grin and bear ti and run as soon as he had the chance. That was the plan but, as anyone who knew Robin well, he rarely stuck to one for long without it changing. Anything could happen but the ball was in this boy's court now.

Damon was pushed off the boy and then he reduced farther into himself. He was blushing and embarrassed now. He had done something stupid and reckless and possibly ruin a new friendship. He had been to overly grateful for this help and had acted rash. He was mad at himself as he finally uttered the words and said, "I-I-I-I-I'm sorry about that."
He sat there wondering what to do. He was afraid if he opened his mouth again he would would try kissing the boy again, but he took a breath and said, "M-m-m-m-m-my n-n-name is D-D-D-D-Damon." He was blushing completely red and just glad no one had seen the kiss. He was breathing heavily wanting to have a freak out so he could just get out of here.
He looked back up to the boy his face completely red still and he didn't know how to change the color of his face right now. He wanted to grab a chair and destroy it, but he would only embarrass himself more. He didn't know what to do as his breath started to shorten and he wheezed. What is this what was happening? He had never had anything like this happen and he didn't know what to do as he looked at the boy with his breath short and wheezing and clutching his chest.

Robin could see that this boy was just as embarrassed by his actions as he had been himself. Robin felt a bit bad for his initial reaction when he saw the boys reaction. Than suddenly the reaction grew worse. The boy was having a massive anxiety attack and was panicking as a result of it. Anyone who had ever had breathing problem, anxiety, asthma, or allergy based, knew that panicking only made things worse; much worse. True to the norm, this boy was getting worse.
Robin coaxed Damon to sit- Damon, a nice name...- and began talking to him, trying to calm him. Damon I need you to relax. If you don't relax you'll get light headed and if that happens you might pass out. I don't want to have to carry you across campus to see the nut of a nurse. Ok man? So just chill out.
Robin held his hand and brushed back the blonde hair from his face, caring for him like he would any friend, family member or lover. For some reason his instincts to care for him had kicked in and his mind was spinning trying to think of what he could say. Than it clicked. "Besides if you pass out or die, how am I going to get to know you. Hmmmm? Listen I'm not mad at you. What you did was sweet and I appreciate it. I just don't know you well enough yet. You don't need to freak out cause of what you did. Everyone has acted on their heart once or twice. It's cool. Just chill out and breathe.
Robin could see that he wasn't getting enough of a reaction from the boy as the boy was still so embarrassed over the incident and so he did the only thing he could think to do, a last ditch effort to calm him down. Robin leaned in, pulling Damon closer, and kissed him, returning the action that had caused this whole panic attack in the first place. He knew this was irrational and spontaneous but as Poe had said, “The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.” and as he was nowhere near a genius, incomplete plans and spur of the moment decisions could easily work in his favor, as he hoped it did now.
He let the kiss last until the boy's breathing seemed to ease and than he pulled back, letting the boy go and smiling at him. "This will be our little secret. Feeling better now? This boy was odd and hyper but he was adorable and sweet. In time, a true and lasting love could develop but as of right now, a child's crush had sparked and Robin knew it. He just wasn't sure if he liked it.

Damon couldn't stop he was still freaking out about making this boy feel bad and suddenly the he was kissed again. His eyes went wide, but yet they closed as he was kissed and felt the pleasure once again. He was stunned silent as the kiss came to an end and he could only nod in answer to the boy.
What had happened with them? He didn't know what to do then suddenly someone ran by them with a bucket of water and splashed both of them. Damon froze as he was wet. He got wide eyed again then screamed, "GET IT OFF IM WET OH GOD IM GOING TO DROWN. GET OFF ME." He started to wipe at his coat and shirt with his wet hands trying to get the water off of himself.
He hated this fear, but he had feared water ever since he was five and almost drowned. He had a fear of getting wet at all. It took forever for his parents to bathe him and then when the showering it took him twenty minutes to even get into the shower. Of course he had to have some coaxing from his roommates to help him out. Things never seemed to work in Damon's favor at all.

Robin had just gotten the boy to calm down (even if he had stunned him a bit) when a jerk from the football team ran over and poured a bucket of water on him, getting both of them wet in the process. Anyone could tell this kid did NOT like water in any amount. That meathead had done that just to make Damon freak. Robin turned and flipped off the jock before turning back to Damon, who was wide eyed and screaming about getting the water off of him.
Robin grabbed his towel from within his backpack and crouched down next to Damon again. "Damon listen. Let's take this wet jacket off and we'll dry you off with this towel. Okay man? I'm not going to hurt you so chill out. Robin was soaked but seeing as he had been planning on jumping in the pool, he was in the proper attire to get wet and he had clothes to change into. This guy was in his street clothes and drenched. And so Robin removed the jacket and wrapped the towel around Damon, trying to dry him off and calm him down at the same time. As he did so, the sun bounced off of his chest and arms, bare and wet. He let the sun dry himself off and coaxed Damon back from the floor. "You okay now? If they try that again I'll beat them to a pulp. Robin smiled at Damon once more, waiting for the boy's ok.

Damon nodded as he was drying off. He saw the water glistening off Robin's body and blushed again. He looked at he shivered and said, "S-s-s-sorry a-a-a-b-bout all of this." He found a stray hand touch the boys chest and his face blushed brightly. He didn't know exactly why he was doing this. He looked up at Robin and smiled.
He sat there as he didn't know what to do anymore. He just kept touching his chest and looking at Robin. Silence was great here and he didn't want it to end at all. He closed his eyes wanting time to stop in just this moment as things were perfect right now. But why did he have this feelings for someone he didn't know?
Was this a crush or was it love? He knew Robin cared for him and wanted to help him out, but did he like him back at all? He blushed as he was afraid to ask, but he blurted out and said, "I-I-I-I l-l-l-l-like y-y-y-y-you." His face turned completely red and he stopped touching his chest and sunk down a little embarrassed at saying this.

Robin stayed with the boy despite the oddity of the action. There was something about this boy that forced him to stay and care for him. Some twinge that told him he liked him despite knowing nothing but his name. Robin had never been good at even trusting the ideas of commitment or love at first site so this just confused him. This wasn't love but what was it than? WHatever it was he wanted to see it through and get to know Damon better so he could judge this whole mess of emotions for what it was.
"Don't be sorry. You didn't do this, the meatheads did. They would have done it to anyone they could bother. It's what they do." Robin smiled at Damon and hugged him lightly as he felt the boy's hand touching his chest. Robin couldn't help but chuckle at it. Apparently the boy was confused by his feelings too. And than the words were uttered and Robin froze. The boy liked him?! He didn't know how to take that. The boy liked him? Before Robin could stop himself his lips were moving as he responded, "I like you too but I need to get to know you. All I know is your name and your fear of water. I do like you but I'm not sure how.
Robin pulled back a bit and just looked at Damon. He didn't know what to do but what had been done and said had happened and he couldn't turn back time and change it. HE sighed and added, "So what do you want to do now? as he stood there, face screaming confusion and bafflement.

Damon froze again silence. He liked him back? His heart started beating faster as he was happy. Suddenly he hugged Robin glad to hear those words. He realized what he was doing and stopped hugging and blushed as he said, "O-o-o-of course we need to know each other."
He wasn't stupid as to that rule he wouldn't even do that to Robin. He had been afraid of being rejected and being hurt by it. He blushed as he was asked to go somewhere and said, "I d-d-don't know. I'm fairly new here." He had only been here for three months now and he didn't really know much yet. He still got lost on his way to places which is exactly how he had ended up here.
He was still blushing as he stood up and looked around. He was basically calm except for the beating of his heart in his chest. He was afraid Robin would hear it and think he's some kind of freak. He looked at his clothes and said, "Maybe I should change my clothes first. D-d-d-do you know a-a-a-anywhere that we could go t-t-t-to?"

Robin chuckled and took Damon's hand. He knew he had stated the obvious and it was silly of him but some people just lose it and go head over heels, not thinking with their brain anymore once the first twinge of love or what might be love hit them. Robin smiled a bit and than spoke a bit. Well why don't we go back to our dorms so you can get some dry clothes and I can change and than, if you want, we can go for a walk and I can show you the woods. It's a magical place, if you know where to go of course. And it could be just the two of us so we can get to know each other... Than is, if you want.
Robin turned a light shade of red at this. He had just asked the boy on a date in a sense but what better way to get to know someone. Right? Anyway what he had done was now done and he was glad he had done it. What is Hatter going to say when he hears about this later? He's going to have a field day. thought RObin as he waited for Damon to decide if he wanted to accept. He couldn't wait for the decision. If he said yes this would be an interesting day.

Damon smiled and nodded to answer him. He was happy to have met Robin and was hoping to get to know him even more now. This was his most favorite part of today. He didn't know what would happen with everything, but he just wanted to get out of here.
He opened his mouth and said, "Okay we can do that." He looked around weary about those jerks throwing more water on him. He would tear this place apart if that happened. He probably would be expelled and he wouldn't be happy about that.
He looked to Robin with a look of fear wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. He walked towards the door with his eyes darting back and forth as the kids around him splashed and got water everywhere. He was terrified he thought that the water would destroy his body still. He looked back at Robin wanting him to be by his side right now. He suddenly ran back and hid behind Robin as he said, "I-I-I-I'm afraid about getting wet." He had a look of fear in his eyes again and he didn't want to leave without Robin either.

Robin wrapped his arms around Damon in a way that showed he wouldn't let go. "I won't leave you if you don't want me to. It's okay. We'll walk back together and I won't leave you until you ask me to. okay? Robin felt a need to protect this boy and keep him from harm. He would protect Damon from the bullies and the world if he had to. Even if nothing came of this twinge of interest, Robin would protect him as a friend and adopted family member of sorts. He knew this now and he knew nothing would change this.
Robin led Damon to where his backpack was, slung the bag over his shoulder and than, arms still wrapped protectively around Damon, walked out of the pool and away from the bullies and the water that feared Damon so much. He loosened his arms around the boy a bit the further they got from the "danger" until they were walking beside each other. "So which room are you in? Maybe we're right by each other or something." stated Robin, trying to lighten the mood and change the topic. Maybe even get Damon's mind off of water completely. They just kept walking as Robin waited for a reply.

Damon smiled and said, "I'm in room 3. I will have to get dressed in there." He blushed a little as he walked beside him. Suddenly he leaned his head on Robin's shoulder. He was happy to have met him as this was his first true friend or first person who cared for him that wasn't Lilo or his roommates. This was a person who truly wanted to protect him and keep him from harm.
Why this boy came to his rescue and why he cared was something that fate must have brought about. He was glad of course, but he felt like things may not really work out. He even had to go back home for a week and who knows if Robin could fall for someone in that time. He was scared this would happen and he would be all alone again. He didn't like being alone cause then he was easily picked on and that frightened.
He sighed and then asked, "If I disappeared for awhile would you forget about me and not remember me when I came back?" He was serious in asking this and he hoped that the answer would bring a smile to his face.
