Chapter Text
David couldn't help but watch as Rob cautiously stood up.
"You remember a minute ago when you said 'get out there'? You're regretting that, aren't you Rob?" Lee stands in front of his desk, beckoning Rob to come towards him. "Right, stand there."
Rob turns to the guest person Charlotte, "How well have you taught him?" He then steps toward Lee.
"So what you do, the first move you do-" Lee takes a step forward before David pipes up.
"Bow to him, Rob! For God's sake, or he'll kill you!" David watches from his chair. Lee and Rob chuckle before Rob gets on one knee and lowers his head.
"Then you'll, uh.." Lee goes to grab Rob's blazer but the smaller man backs away. "So, you get- your." Lee goes to grab Rob again and once more, he backs away. "Come here!"
"BRIAN! BRIAN!!" Rob joking shouts, backing away from Lee. The audience erupts into laughter.
"You take a lapel like this" Lee grabs onto one of Rob's lapels whilst the smaller man watches his hands. "you take that lapel like this." Lee grabs the older man's other lapel, holding him with two hands.
Rob's eyes widen, emitting a long 'oh'. Lee slots his right leg between Rob's. "Don't you dare." Rob warns.
"I won't, I won't." Lee reassuringly grins, Rob gives him a serious look. "And you get like that" Lee pulls Rob closer, their hips together. "And you sort of lean and you go like that." Lee pulls Rob over his hip to drop him onto the floor at the other end, the older man trying to hold on and prevent the fall.

Behind the set David finds himself drifting away from his team and over to Rob. "I know you're a BAFTA nominated actor, but seriously that sounded like it hurt."
"It did hurt, but I won't dwell on it." Rob chuckles. "I might get a bruise on my hip." Rob can't help the giddy feeling he gets in his stomach when David is worried about him.
"It was funny to see you fall over" David added, "I can say that because you're alright"
"Of course you can, Dave! The audience found it hilarious and I laughed as well. I mean, Danny's joke was uncalled for!" Rob crosses his arms smiling.
"What's happening over here, why have I been left out?" Lee chuckles, easily sneaking away from where he was to join his best friends conversation.
"Rob was saying how it hurt when he hit the floor and thinks there will be a bruise." David admits, Rob's eyes widen.
"But in all honesty, I should be fine and there's no need to panic!" Rob playful nudges David, who rolls his eyes at the contact.
"I was going to say, I apologized multiple times." Lee grabs Rob's lapels again, pulling the shorter man closer to himself. Rob gives David a panicked look "Want me to do it again? I'm joking, I won't." Lee let's go off Rob's lapels, a sigh leave the shorter man's mouth.
