Alright, this may be a wee bit slash, but I promise it won't be a lot, unless for some reason, you all want it to be. Please keep in mind that I'm a youngling and I'm not supposed to type up rated M stories, nor do I plan to. If anything, I might rate this T for movies, action and violence… maybe a little bit of slash, but nothing nose bleed worthy… Kay, this will be a chaptered story.

OOC ALERT!

Chapter 1:

"Please?" Robin begged, on his knees at the feet of his mentor.

"No Robin," Batman said again.

"PLEASE! Come on, it's just Wally! I won't tell him my real name, I won't let him know where I live, I won't tell him anything about my past, I won't take off my sunglasses or mask until I'm sure he's asleep and I'll wake up before him, we won't get arrested, I'll be a good boy! PLEASE!" Robin pleaded, desperation ringing clear through his voice.

Batman was surprised. He had never seen Robin want something so much. Still, he couldn't allow his 'son' to go off to the world yet.

"No," Batman repeated, attempting to walk past Robin.

Anger boiled up in Robin's chest. He wanted nothing more then for just one sleepover. He wanted to go to a friend's house and enjoy something most kids his age had experienced hundreds of times. He clenched his hands into fists.

"I'll do anything," he insisted, his voice soft and shaky in the back of his throat. "I just want to spend the night at his house for one night…"

Batman turned around and ran a hand through his hair. He looked down at the boy in front of him. Robin was already changed into his street clothes or 'civvies' as he insisted to call them, with a new pair of sunglasses slipped in front of his dark blue eyes. Batman sighed.

"Robin… I… I just want to keep you safe… why must you insist on going?"

Robin set a somewhat pale hand to the back of his neck. Excitement was building up in his stomach. This was what he had been waiting for all night. He ran his tongue along his expanders which he had gotten used to fairly quickly. He still had a hard time swallowing, but speech was of no difficulty. He took a deep breath.

"I just want to fit in with the rest of the boys at my school. I want to make friends and have a somewhat normal social life. I've never had a sleepover, never had a friend over, never been to a friend's house, never hung out with a friend and basically never really had a friend. If I could just go to Wally's house this once and prove to you that I can control myself and that the whole world won't learn our secrets, then maybe I could hang out with more friends and fit in at school. Besides, Wally and I are pretty close friends and he wanted to hang out last night, but… well, you know…" Robin blurted out.

Batman absorbed it all. Robin didn't seem to mean any harm. He just wanted to go to a member of the League's house. Kid Flash's family knew a bit about it already and it would be only once for now. It didn't sound half bad. It was the other half that scared him. What if something did happen though? What if there came the issue of them wondering about the sunglasses indoors or the bulky belt beneath his shirt and…

"Batman!" Robin snapped his mentor from his thoughts. "Wally already told his parents that I have a sensitive eye condition where even the littlest of light can give me killer migraines so I have to wear my shades a lot. He convinced them that my name is Robin because my parents thought I was going to be a girl before I was born and they were set on the name and I can wear a big hoodie to cover my utility belt if I have to. Can I please go?"

Batman failed to hide a smile. He had trained his sidekick well, verbally and physically. Robin knew what he had to do and how to protect himself. He was well prepared and Batman had faith in his sidekick.

"I'll let you go," Batman began.

A grin broke out across Robin's face, showing the rings of his silver expanders. His grin was interrupted by his mentor, who wasn't finished yet.

"IF… you promise to keep your identity to yourself, not kill or seriously maim someone, to avoid jail, to keep your communicator with you at all times, to keep your past to yourself, if you let me prepare your utility belt with some new things I've come up with and if it's just a sleepover with you and Wally. I don't want you to come home smelling like alcohol, perfume or any sort of illegal drugs! I want you to keep your body parts to yourself, to avoid getting wasted and high and to be a good boy. If I even see a molecule of lipstick on your face, I will kick your ass so hard that you'll wake up in China! Do you hear me?"

Robin's face shot red.

"Batman! I promise that it's just me and Wally tonight. I won't do drugs, alcohol or any one, that I promise you. I'll keep my body to myself and… uh… everything else you said," Robin promised.

Batman thought about it. "Okay… I'll get your utility belt and prepare it. Get your bag together, get your hoodie and comb your hair. It looks like a rat made itself comfy up there!"

Robin's blush stayed there, but he grinned with an excited laugh.

"Thank you!"

He quickly tackled Batman in a hug, burying his face in his adoptive father's chest.

"I love you!" his muffled voice cried, dancing with excitement.

Batman felt a slight blush go to his face, but only slight. He wrapped one arm around Robin, but only for a second. He released Robin and the black haired boy dashed down the hall to pack a bag to something he had never been to. Batman went downstairs to prepare the utility belt.

XxXxX

Wally picked up the ringing phone.

"I GOT IT," he screamed, notifying his mother before answering it.

"Yellow?" he answered, his voice smooth as silk.

"Hey KF, Batman said yes!" Robin's voice cried happily from across the line.

A grin broke across the red head's face.

"Yeah! I can't believe it! When will you be over?"

"Soon as I finish packing… that's why I called. What do I bring?" Robin asked nervously.

Wally thought about it, a frown on his face.

"Uh, clothes, video games… maybe a swim suit if you want. We have a pool… and uh, hey, do you like ice cream?"

"Yeah, duh!" Robin responded quickly.

"Alrighty then, yeah. Just bring clothes, swim trunks and some video games. And Mum's making some chicken for dinner and it's pretty good, so I hope you're hungry!"

Robin laughed. "Alright, see ya then!"

Then the line went dead in Wally's ear. Wally grinned, excited. He couldn't wait 'til his parents met his best friend. If they saw how smart and funny Robin was, they probably wouldn't think he was a complete waste of space. He dashed off to his own room to set up the X-Box and tidy up a bit. His mom watched in utter amazement. She had never seen Wally so eager to clean his room. She smiled softly to herself, folding her arms over his chest.

Maybe this Robin kid is just how Wally described him… This'll be exciting…

Alright, THIS is a chapter story. I can't guarantee that there won't be some slash, but there won't be a lot. It could probably be classified as really good friendship. Whatya think? This is like, the first time I've ever written a story with no depression in it. You can thank Chris for that… he's the guy I love and I want the whole frikkin world to know it. He's my whole world and a bit more. He's my reason for waking up in the morning, my reason for smiling, and my reason for living. Even if his brother scares the living shit out of me, I still love him. It's worth the risk…
