F2F: Dodge That Penny (Robbie&Cooper)

Cooper had been through a pretty rough morning to say the least. He’d gotten in from work around 5am, managed to pass out as soon as he got in but he hadn’t expected to be snatched from sleep by a panic attack. Looking back on it now he couldn’t lay claim to what the obvious cause was but at the same time there was a lot going on in his life and a lot of change. Still, it hadn’t left him wanting to go back to sleep anytime soon. With that, he’d text Frankie and gone round to his apartment for the morning, playing a few songs to pass the time.

One o’clock rolled around and he excused himself back to his own apartment, got a quick shower and changed so he’d be ready to meet Robbie. 

Fixing his hair in the mirror, he pulled on his snapback and drew in a short breath. He had to be honest, he was nervous to some extent. Sure he’d been to hang out with the guy but they’d just sat and watched a movie. Besides, he was high and couldn’t remember a lot of it. Now, he was just exhausted. 

White t-shirt under a black and grey checker shirt. He’d accompanied it with ripped skinny jeans, white sneakers and a black snapback. Getting Penny’s lead, he clipped it on to her little harness and smiled. “Looks like a nice day out there,” he spoke to her as he pocketed his phone and wallet. 

Carrying her down the fire escape quietly. He tucked her inside his shirt while shuffling down the ladder and hanging for a second before he dropped to the floor. Taking her out, he set her on the ground and tickled her head. “You’ll be okay,” he smiled softly as he ruffled her ears and walked around to the front of the building. Staying a few paces away from the actual building as he waited until he saw the familiar face leave the property.

“Hey!” he smiled softly as he walked over and hugged him. “This is Penny, Penny, this is Robbie and Dodger,” he chuckled as he introduced them before glancing down the path. “Shall we uh- go?”
