A series of short excerpts based off of a list of Awkward Moment When quotes. This will mainly focus on Robin, Kid Flash, Artemis, and Zatanna. Pairings will be Spitfire and Chalant. Eight moments per chapter!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not YJ or any recognizable characters. *Sigh* I am getting really of saying this.
1- You want to cough but it's dead silent.
Dick struggled to maintain the tickle in his throat as he stared around the room. All of the kids were absolutely silent taking their test. He wanted desperately to cough, but at the same time he didn't.
Soon, the tickle became unbearable. It started as a small cough, but it soon turned into a series of hacking coughs, and it kept going until his eyes were watering.
When his vision cleared, he looked around and saw the entire class staring at him. He looked over his shoulder at Barbara, his best friend. He saw a look of worry in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" She mouthed. He smiled. "Fine" Dick mouthed back. He realized the rest of the class was still staring, including the teacher. He gave her a thumbs up and returned to his work.
2- You've already said "What?" three times and still have no idea what the person said so you just agree.
Wally was tired. He was exhausted beyond belief, and frankly hadn't slept in a few days. So, the usually energetic speedster hauled himself to Mount Justice.
Recognize; Kid Flash B03
Wally sauntered over to the couch by the kitchen, and sat down. He closed his eyes and sighed. He heard a voice saying "Hey, KF." beside him and cracked open one eye to see his best friend flip over the couch and sit beside him.
He opened the other eye as he saw Robin's mouth move, but he was too tired to hear him.
"What?" he hoarsely asked. Robin raised an eyebrow.
"I said…...okay?" Still, part of the boy wonder's sentence was slurred and lost in Wally's head.
"What?" he asked once again. Robin rolled his eyes.
"Dude, seriously? Are…?" Wally rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"I'm sorry, what?" He asked one more time. Robin let out a sigh of exasperation.
"Are you deaf or something? I asked…?" Wally gave up and just nodded.
"Yeah." He said. Robin smiled.
"Cool." the ebony-haired acrobat held up a Call Of Duty XBOX case. "COD?"
3- It's silent in class and your stomach decides to sound like a dying whale.
Zatanna yawned as she looked around at her classmates, who were all silently reading books. Her stomach ached with hunger as she looked to the clock.
Dang it. She thought. Only 11:30! She had fifteen minutes left before lunch. Fifteen more minutes to starve. A slight rumble left her stomach, and she glanced around to see if anyone heard. Luckily, the slip went unnoticed.
Two minutes went by and her hunger increased. The clock wasn't helping any. Whenever she looked up, only a few seconds or a minutes had passed. Granted, it didn't help she was only looking down for two seconds.
Suddenly, her stomach let out a sound that could be described as a lion and a hippo having a belching contest. Simultaneously, all heads turned to look at her.
A light blush spread across the magician's cheeks and she gave a nervous smile as the bell rang.
4- You're staring at nothing in particular, and then realize you're staring right at someone (A/N- Spitfire Alert!)
Artemis was in deep thought as she stared at the wall. Zatanna had come to her with the puzzling question of who on the team she'd want to date. Truthfully, the archer had never thought of that, so she had to reply with "I don't know."
She didn't have any feelings for Kaldur. While he was calm and polite, she was the polar opposite, anger-filled and sometimes rude. They say opposites attract, but Artemis just wasn't seeing it. Besides, she could see Rocket had feelings for the Atlantean, so dating him would be just mean.
Robin… okay, maybe she thought Robin was a little cute, but he was practically the little brother she never had! You know, the annoying brother that pulls your hair and plays pranks on you with his best friend. He was the only one that really understood her, being the only other full human on the team. They had a special bond. Artemis also didn't have to be a detective to see the Boy Wonder's feelings for Zatanna, and personally, she thought they'd be such a cute couple!
At the beginning, she did have some feelings for Connor. But they faded when she heard that he was dating M'gann. Frankly, she could see the two were head over heels for each other.
And then there was Wally. God, the speedster annoyed the daylights out of her! He was rude, disgusting, and the bane of Artemis' existence. But, Artemis did suppose once you get past the fact that he has the manners of a monkey and the sense of a baby ostrich, he was a little cute. No! Artemis shook her head. She did not think Wallace West was cute.
"Hey, replacement, why are you staring at me? Artie?" she snapped back to attention. Then, she realized she wasn't staring at the wall, like she thought she was, she was staring at Wally.
"Sorry!" she rushed, a bright blush spreading across her face.
5- Your parent's guests arrived and you didn't make it to your room on time, so now you have to socialize (A/N- Short one)
Dick felt his heart clench as he looked at the clock on the DVR of the TV. 5:59! They are going to be here in less than a minute! He thought as he slammed his laptop closed and bolted out of the room.
The doorbell rang as he neared the base of the stairs, causing him to sprint faster, laptop in hand. But alas, his attempts were in vain as he heard the door opening and closing behind him and a shrilly voice before he managed to reach the top of the stairs.
"Hello, dear. How have you been?" the voice said. Dick forced a fake smile and turned to see Mr. and Mrs. Galufiush, two of the most pompous and stuck-up socialites in Gotham. He really didn't care for them.
"Dick!" he heard his adoptive father call. "Come on, socialize!" Begrudgingly, the teen made his way back down the stairs, wishing he'd been a bit faster.
6- The only thing you know on a test is your name. Not even the date! (A/N- VERY short)
Wally sighed as he looked down at the test he had been handed. He quickly scribbled his name on the top line and realized he didn't even know what day it was. Stupid sedative. Whatever, it's not like the teacher grades whether you know the date.
He looked down at the rest of the questions and realized he hadn't studied, AT ALL. Yep, he was screwed. He really should've gotten Rob to quiz him.
7- You tell an inanimate object to STAY when they look like they are going to fall.
Zatanna squealed as she ran into her room, her Robin plushie clutched tightly in her arms. She adored the thing, it was almost as cute as the original (1). She had a major crush on the boy wonder, but wasn't confident he liked her back.
She placed it on her nightstand and turned to her bookcase, but when she heard a muted thump and turned to see the plushie face-down on the carpet. She picked it back up and placed it back.
Just as she grabbed a book off of the bookcase, the same thump echoed throughout the room. She turned back and placed the plushie in it's place. It twitched and she held her hands out.
"Stay… stay…" It tilted forward, about to fall off again. "Yats no eht dnatsthgin!" The plushie moved back into place and the magician smiled.
8- When a 2 year old kid is talking and you can't understand them so you just sit there and go "oh, really?" (A/N- Set during 'Misplaced')
Artemis sighed as she looked around at all of the children, some of them shrieking with laughter, others sniffling as they recovered from the trauma they had gone through.
She frankly just wanted this to be over. She wanted to go home and hug her mom and tell her she loved her. But, for now, she was forced to take care of little kids and constantly be reminded of her situation.
The archer felt a tug on her pant leg, and looked down to see a cute little girl, no older than 2, with bright blonde pigtails and a pink sundress on. Her eyes were bright as she told Artemis a story, gesturing to the brown teddy bear she clutched.
Artemis frankly had no idea what the girl was saying, but she just nodded and crouched down to see face to face with her.
"Oh, really?"
YAY! First Chapter! Please tell me what you think and give me suggestions for more awkward moments!
Chapters will be coming fairly evenly, as I will try to update every Thursday or Friday.
Until next time,
