Thomas and Sarah- Meme- Angst- Seperation (AU)
She'd been gone for months without a word and with no way to trace her. Just vanished into thin air. Had it been anyone else he'd be mad that they could even pull that off without him finding them. But with her...well he'd admit he was more hurt than anything. If she was going to up and leave he'd expected...well at least a goodbye, or some note or something. Not just an empty place and no leads to follow.

Which is why she's the last person he expects to see when he drops by a supermarket in one of the smaller neighbourhoods on his way home. There's an initial moment of shock and then it hits him what she's buying and her...condition. He probably scares a few of the other customers by the way he stands there, eyebrow twitching in anger, and glaring daggers at the young woman innocently making her purchases.

He never makes it home. Instead he follows her, recklessly still in his civilian ID, as far as he can without alerting her to his presence to where she's staying. Still blinded by anger, he doesn't wait till it's completely dark and changes to Robin gear to sneak into her living room ahead of her.

A tall shadow looms behind Sarah's couch, eyebrow still twitching, as she enters.

	"There was morning sickness and tears," she deadpans seriously. "Never again." "I'm not sure. Some cleaning I can't do because it's up high but it seems silly to ask for help dusting," she points out softly looking a tad bit embarrassed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He goes quiet and looks down at the table. He wished he could've helped her, or at least been there for her. Even though he knows it's not his fault he feels like he's failed at something. "It's fine, I can dust. Although no complaining about my height after this," he tries to smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I might even talk you into painting where I can't reach," she jokes. Yeah no way will she get to do the actual painting. She'll be very annoyed with that fact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Sarah will just get some blinking. "What made you think I wasn't going to be doing the painting?" Really, did she expect he'd leave her to do it? Honestly... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You never said you were." She is so silly. She does smile at him though. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I thought it was assumed that I would..." He really did, and he assumed she'd know that. After all, he wasn't going to let her do all that if he could help it. "Wasn't aware I should explicitly tell you. Okay then...I also planned on putting together and setting up the furniture. You do only seem good with Ikea, even if it never lasts..."

	"Well that's good.... I can't get the shelves up on the wall myself anyways," she admits. "I was going to ask for help." She bites her lower lip. "I didn't want to assume things. It wouldn't be right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Yes it would. You can assume those sorts of things. What'd you expect? That I'd let you do that all on your own? I'm not that much of a jerk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"No? I didn't think you would but I.... kind of suck at just asking for help," she admits. "Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 01:44 am UTC (link)
	I noticed "I thought you weren't asking because you knew I'd do it," he gives her a small smile. "Okay then...ask now. Anything I should do or be aware of? Maybe it'll be easier if you ask all at once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I didn't ask because I didn't want to..... to push too much at you too fast. But I wanted to get started before I start getting really tired again. Sometimes I'm only good for a short while."

She bites her lip again. "I need to start ordering furniture for that room. Don't know what might need to be assembled at my place and I.... need a new doctor. I need help finding one."

	"Hence the whole assuming thing," he smiles. "I'll do the assembling don't worry about that. The doctor thing might be a tad harder but I'll look into it." He doesn't have as many connections on the darker side of the law anymore and he doesn't want Robin connected to this, it might put her in danger. Lots of discrete work then. Can't have anyone find out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll be okay for a a week or two but I want to be sure he's healthy," she allows trying to give him a time table. "So far I think we're doing okay." Oh hey. Where is that food? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"Good to hear. I'll look into it." Oh look! Food. And milkshakes. Thomas looks at her Ultra Extra Bacon Cheeseburger and just smirks. "Still craving bacon Sarah?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 02:35 am UTC (link)
	She is eating the hell out of that burger. Also occasionally making happy sounds over it. Yes she likes it. "Mmm." And that's a yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 02:45 am UTC (link)
	As much bacon as her burger has, his has far more stacked upon it. To the point where you could hear the crunching. Bacon heaven. "You're enjoying the bacon Foxy? Told you it was good," he smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stops to actually chew instead of inhaling her food. Then she shrugs her shoulders. "Not bad," she manages after swallowing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"Pfft, you like it. You just don't want to admit it after all this time." Yes, he's very much enjoying this, and positively grinning. "Did you want to try my milkshake? It's pretty good." He slides his across the table and shoots her a smile. Well he was in a good mood. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes that's it exactly," she deadpans flatly. She'll steal a sip then sigh. "It's good. Like the burger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Told you so." More inhaling food because he's starving, and needs something to keep him awake. "Have I satisfied all your cravings for now?" He's avoiding calling her Foxy...just in case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"After this I might need a nap," she admits with a chuckle. "For me this is a lot of food." She'll just have them get paint latter. "We can get paint later. Tomorrow maybe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"You sure? We can pick some up on the way back quickly." He's not going to admit just how tired he is. 3 hours of sleep for over 48 hours was taking its toll, but he had to make sure he actually got stuff done and helped her out. He had months to make up for. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"If you think we can handle it," she says slowly. "I just know I'm going to get tired soon." She knows that lately she's just wanted to sleep as much as she could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-11 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"Why wouldn't we be able to?" He's a tad bit in denial about exactly how exhausted he is and really doesn't want her to notice it too much. He finishes his food and sips the remainder of the milkshake as he waits for her to do the same. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-11 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"Well for one I'm not the only one who needs a nap," she says trying to be gentle. Not that it's easy but she sits back to finish her food off. The milkshake is the hardest for her to do. That's just so much food for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
