My first Young Justice fanfic, it's going to be pretty long, so hold on for a wild ride!
(oh and of course I do NOT own any of the characters~)
It would have been one of his proudest moments ever. Robin had saved the entire League, he beat Batman and Superman, both things he never thought he could do. He dreamed of them of course, but never thought such a thing could happen so soon. But it had. And he was ecstatic that was until he heard Wally's voice behind him.
"I should have done this a long time ago." He heard. Robin flipped around and gapped when he saw Wally scoop Artemis into his toned arms and press his lips ravenously against hers. She smiled into the kiss and draped her arms around his neck.
Robin felt his heart drop down into the pit of his stomach. Even when Zatanna had spun him around and pecked him he still felt like the entire world was falling down around him.
He felt Zatanna pull away then and then felt her blue eyes burrowing deeply into his skull. He looked back at her and gave her a small heart-broken smile.
"R-Robin…?" She asked noting his suddenly blotchy complexion. Robin silently thanked his covered eyes, otherwise she would have seen the tears that weld around his eyes. "Are you alright?" She demanded worriedly,
"Yeah…" Robin nodded at her, "I'm just…I need to go home. I think I pulled something…" He choked out the lie and gently pushed past her, nodding at her in a silent thanks for her concern. Zatanna watched after him, biting her lip and clutching her hands to her chest wondering what had sudden befallen her comrade.
Dick laid in bed with his hands over his face. He felt like he should just roll over and die. Maybe he should just flip over and suffocate himself…or just hold his breath until he died…a nice leap from the top of the Wayne Manor would do the trick too…
The Boy Wonder almost laughed at his own thoughts. Why was he so depressed? Sure, him and Wally had been best friends for years and he'd always been possessive, needing to either be with or talking with Wally constantly… But that was because Wally was his best and sometimes only friend…wasn't it?
Well now Wally would ignore him. Throw him in the dirt and abandon him for his new horrible girlfriend.
"What am I thinking?" The young acrobat groaned, rolling onto his stomach. He wiped at his eyes once he finally noticed the salty tears staining his cheeks. "Those two hate each other, they wont last a week…will they?" Dick hiccupped abruptly as a fresh stream of salty tears threatened to break through his eyes; he rubbed the back of his hand across his eyes and laid back staring blankly at the ceiling, just as he'd done so a loud pound erupted from the other side of the door.
"Dick, are you still awake?" He heard Bruce's booming voice demand.
"Yeah…" He coughed and sat up.
"Can I come in?" It was strange for Bruce to give him so much time to pull himself together before he opened the door, normally he would have knocked once then let himself in.
"Yeah." Dick nodded although his guardian couldn't see him through the thick wood door. Finally the concerned look of Bruce appeared in the doorway.
"Are you alright?" Bruce almost instantly demanded once he caught sight of Dick's disheveled and blotched appearance.
"Why?" Dick questioned pulling his knees up to his chest,
"Alfred said he heard crying…are you alright?"
"Just peachy." Dick grumbled, Bruce sighed and shut the door behind him. The Dark Knight made his way to Dick's desk and spun the chair to face his apprentice, no, Bruce wasn't Batman and Dick wasn't Robin now…he faced his son before sitting.
"What happened?" He asked, it wasn't often when the two had son-and-fatherly conversations, so neither of the two had any idea how to come across something of this sort.
"Nothing…it's just, it's so stupid! …I don't even know why I'm so…" He shook his head, not sure what he was attempting to say,
"Distraught?" Bruce offered,
"Yeah, t…totally not traught…" Dick grumbled, "but since we saved everyone
and all that I just…can't…be happy I guess." Bruce raised an eyebrow carefully, this event had happened nearly four days ago, and Dick was right, Bruce hadn't seen the boy as much as crack a smile since that had happened.
"Did something happen?" Bruce demanded, "You handled yourself well, you took control of the situation with hardly any adult assistance you got the Watch Tower back and saved ninety percent of the League. Sounds like a success to me."
"It's not that. Once that happened, I was so happy. Then I guess it was New Years and …Wally…" Dick broke off before he could begin to choke up once again.
"Wallace?" Bruce demanded, "What did he do?" He prodded ready to strangle the red head if he did anything to hurt Dick.
"I don't even know. I mean it was midnight and he …he…kissed Artemis…and I just… got so mad and I …left." Dick ran a hand through this short eyebrow length black hair.
"Were you … jealous?" Bruce asked awkwardly, shifting his position and leaning into his open palm. "I mean…do you like Artemis?" Bruce asked
"Me? Jealous? Of Wally and Artemis? No way…. Besides…I don't like Artemis. She's a good team mate, yeah, but it's just…she's not my type" Dick almost snapped back, "It's just…I can't think about having toshare him. I guess." Bruce nodded slightly,
"I see." Bruce rubbed his eyebrow, he honestly didn't know what to say, he simply pursed his lips and leaned forward to pat Dick's shoulder. "You're afraid of loosing your best friend to Artemis?" He asked
"See, like I said. It's stupid." The Boy Wonder moaned
"It's…not stupid." Bruce said as he stood. "Not stupid at all." With that he left Dick to his thoughts. The 13 year-old simply watched the door slide shut after his adopted father left.
The first two chapters will be kinda short then they get really long.
REVIEW! It makes me happy and makes my day and makes me update faster!
