Chapter VIII: No Glamours Here

I don't own Lazy Town

It had been a quiet evening. No trouble fell to the town. The kids had taken the hero's words to heart and stayed out of danger.

That was fine with Robbie. Having a lazy evening with his boyfriend was one of his favorite things. Granted Sportacus got up every once in awhile and did some sort of ugh, physical activity, but overall it was a calm and relaxing time. They curled up together in bed later that night, Sportacus whispering that everything would be ok in the morning.

Robbie didn't feel like everything was going to be ok when he woke up. He was grumpy and cranky and unhappy that he was being forced to see the kids.

At least Sportacus had convinced Stephanie to let them meet in the Mayor's house so they weren't out in the open. The hero was fiddling with his hat as he watched Robbie put on his make-up.

"You're nervous."

"No joke Sportadork. Your ears are easy to hide and the brats, hell the town already love you. I'm the villain. No one except for you cares for me. I'm the person everyone can live without."

"You know that's not true. The kids adore you. They love playing playing with the town 'villain'. Now come on, you look perfect and if we don't show up the kids will worry." He leaned up and placed a kiss to his cheek as the villain sighed and laced his hand in his.

"Fine. But if I'm right I'm running away from this town."

Sportacus chuckled and with fingers laced he led the villain from his lair and to the Mayor's house. The hero knocked and Stephanie opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, come on in! We're all in the living room and Uncle is already at work." She led them inside and Robbie was surprised to see them all sitting quietly in the room waiting for them. "We decided to all think of some questions before that way we aren't all asking at once. I know you're used to it Sportacus but we don't want Robbie feeling uncomfortable."

Robbie felt touched at her words, although he wouldn't say that outloud. Instead he sat down on the couch and waited to see what would happen.

"I"m going first. My question is the best one." Stingy stood up and his friends just shook their heads. "What are both of you?"

Sportacus pulled his hat off and pushed his hair out of the way so they could fully see his pointed ears. "I'm a huldufólk. My family all live in Iceland. We're more commonly known as elves." He gave a smile and the kids nodded before they looked at Robbie. He didn't do anything at first but finally huffed and pulled his vest off, letting his glamour drop and his wings spread out. The kids all awed at them and it made Robbie blush. He wasn't expecting them to like them.

He expected to be ran out of town.

"I'm...half-Fae. Father was human, mother was Fae. And that's all you're getting out of me on my past." He pointed a finger and glared at the children and they understood he was serious.

"My turn!" Ziggy bounced up from his seat with a smile. "Ok what's your magic Sportacus? Is everything thing you do magic?"

"No, not everything. I hardly use magic. My crystal is the only thing that I use. Everything I do I worked hard for. Magic doesn't mean hard work disappears." the boy nodded at turned to Trixie who stood up next.

"Ok so what about you Robbie? How much magic do you use?" He snorted and didn't bother to explain as he snapped his fingers and disappeared in a puff of smoke. He couldn't help but laugh at their confusion as they looked around for him before he walked back into the room.

"So you can disappear? Neat! What else?" He smirked and flickered from their view before reappearing a few seconds later. "I'm not showing you the glamours. You've already seen that at work." He didn't bother to tell them he could fly, could make them think he was someone else, didn't tell him what his weakness was.

"Fine. Pixel it's your turn." Trixie sat down and waved a hand at the techy boy as he nodded and looked at the pair.

"How do your machines work?" Robbie was startled by his questioned, it wasn't one he expected at all.

"Mountains of coffee with sugar and a whole lot of elbow grease." When the children didn't ask anything else, instead looking at him with confusion he sighed, "Look, I didn't know what I was til I was out of college. By then I knew I was good at making machines. Just like Sportacus said, just because we have magic doesn't mean it's all we use. I'm good at making machines and costumes, that's how I make money. I don't just spend all my time figuring out how to make you all quiet and lazy."

When Robbie didn't add any more Stephanie looked at them, the last child to ask them a question. "When did you two start dating?"

That was the last question either of them expected. Robbie's eyes went wide and his wings spasmed while Sportacus's face turned beet red.

"What...what makes you say that Stephanie?"

"I saw you sneaking away from his lair the other morning. You've also been holding hands here the whole time." Sportacus looked down and sure enough she was right, his hand was laced with Robbie's. The villain pulled his hands away and buried his face in them, mumbling about bratty kids not minding their own business.

"Yes, we've been dating for a few months now and I think that's all I should share. Now, why don't we go outside and play; I think Robbie would like to go home."

The children protested to their hero's words but they finally gave in, grabbing a soccer ball and making him promise to join them soon. Once gone Robbie let out a heavy sigh before standing up.

"I hate kids. Have I mentioned that lately?"

"No, but you really don't hate them. They care about you and you them. Go home, I'll see you later tonight, ok? I know you didn't sleep well. We'll play soccer on the far side of town."

Robbie sighed again as Sportacus pressed a kiss to his cheek and ran out the door, adding in flips as he go out in the open.

Maybe Sportacus was right. The kids didn't seem freaked out and they asked questions that didn't apply to the things sticking out of his back. The villain snorted as he focused and let his glamour fall back into place before walking home. Stephanie was right, he was a softy, but he wasn't about to let them know that. It was nice to be accepted by the people he cared most about.

He sure as hell wasn't going to be telling the kids that anytime soon though.

Author's Note: The end! Even though I've been writing for years this is the first thing over 2-3 chapters that I have completely finished. Thanks for all the positive review and everything, they made my day! I don't know if I'll write more with Fae Robbie with wings, but I do love the banter between Sportacus and Robbie in this story.
