You Know I Can't Make It On My Own

-Bad Company-

Danial scoffs, "Don't worry, I didn't get it either at first, Mr. Myagi had to teach me" Danial says grabbing a tree and looking over it as you giggle as the silly sounding name 

"Mr. Myagi...that's the guy who taught you kata right?" Robby asks as you fidget with the hem of your shirt 

"Yeah he was...a pretty special dude, he taught me a lot" He says and sets the tree down 

He takes a moment, before grabbing a pair of scissors, 

"Robby can I try?" You hum and pat him multiple times, 

"Sure but you gotta be careful alright?" He nods and hands you his scissors, and Danial hands Robby some new ones 

"Now what you gotta do is close your eyes, get everything out of your head, the only thing you can see is the tree" Danial says, 

And you sit on a stool and you close your eyes, copying what Robby was doing, as you peaked open with one of your eyes, 

"Think only the tree, then you visualize what you want that tree to look like and you make it happen" Danial says as Robby opens his eyes and looks over his tree 

You watch him with a close eye, and copy what he does with the scissors, taking little snips onto the little trees

You look at your tree and grin, trying to focus on snipping the tree, but it was hard as you got distracted by watching Robby and his little snips 

"There you go" Danial says smiling and Robby laughs 

"So this is obviously some kind of metaphor, the trees like my feelings or something" Robby grins as he watches Danial 

Danial scoffs, "Well, you are the tree Robby, you got strong roots, you know who you are right? so now all you gotta do is visualize what you want your future to look like" He says and nods

"And you missy, your tree looks amazing, have you done this before?" He jokes around and you giggle 

"Nuh uh! but I love playing with these small little trees" You coo and Danial smiles patting your back as he walks off, 

Robby gets a text message, and he frowns and you whimper 

"Robby why did your smile disappear" You huff and grab his arm 

"It's...nothing mkay, but we do have to stay a little later than usual okay? Will you be alright?" He asks and you nod quickly 

"As long as I get to snippy on these little trees" You grin and pet your small tree

"Hey, you stay in here okay? I have to go do something, I don't know how long its going to take but can you be a good girl and stay right here?" He hums and gives you a tight hug and you smile making little sounds 

"Yeah yeah i'll try Robby i'll try" You say hiding your face in in shoulder 

He hugs you and sighs, slowly pulling away and kissing your head, 

"I'll be back I promise pumpkin" He says and you nod watching him walk away 

In about 10 minutes you start to hear grunts and shouts, making you worried 

You whimper and stim your fingers, 

You get up and get out of the bonsai room, finding your way outside

"You better watch your ass" You hear Cruz says as you peak out the door, and see Robby against the wall, panting and with a bloodied lip 

"ROBBY" You shout and tear up, 

He scurry's to his feet and hurry's over to you

He wraps his arms around you and squeezes you tight, 

"Y/n, Y/n, shhhh I told you to stay inside" He whispers as you hide your face in his chest 

"But I heard loud sounds Robby" You whine as he wipes the tears from your eyes, 

"You wanna go home now? I bet you're hungry yes? I'll go make whatever you pick" He smiles and you nod sniffling 

"I'm sorry pumpkin I'm so sorry" He hushes as he holds your hand walking along as he comforts you

"Is Robby ok?" You ask reaching for his lip and he grabs your hand

"I'm ok, I'm tough, just like you" He smiles and pokes your nose 

You nod and lay your head on him, and he picks you up, carrying you home~
