Why I Love Him, by Zatanna Zatara


Why do I love him?

Because he's sweet, kind and funny?

When he holds me close, I feel like there is nothing wrong with the world.

When I look into his eyes, I see his emotions.

When he whispers in my ear, it's all I hear.

When we kiss, I can feel myself blush...

...the feel of his arms around my waist...

...my arms around his neck.

When I cry, he wipes away my tears.

When he cries, I comfort him.

When I nestle into him when we're together, he blushes an adorable light red.

When he strokes the back of his fingers against my cheek to brush my hair back, I turn a delicate pink.

When I'm scared, he softly sings to me.

When he's distraught, I calm him.

But, what if we're both angry?

When we're angry, we argue and we yell.

We storm off...

...we revel in our own misery...

...then we turn back to each other.

A moment alone allows us to reconcile together.

We don't say "I'm sorry,"

What we say is, so much more magical.

We say...

"I love you,"

Why do I love him?

Because he's sweet, kind and funny?

No...

I love him because he's Robin... he's Dick Grayson... he's the Boy Wonder...

He's mine...

...and I have no idea why I love him.

But can anyone really name the reason they love?

I love him...

...he loves me...

And that's all I need!


Dick lay back on the sofa, leaning back on the armrest while he messed around on his phone. Zatanna peeked over the top of her diary, her pen in hand. She started chewing the end of her pen.

"Oh, man, Zee," Dick said, Zatanna looked up at him "Why are you chewing your pen? You trying to flirt with me?"

Zatanna closed her diary and spun the little, numbered, dials.

"What do you mean?" the Magician asked, still chewing her pen.

Dick sighed. He swung his legs over the side of the sofa and gestured to Zatanna to come closer. Zatanna put her diary and pen on the ground and shuffled closer. Dick wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. Zatanna felt her cheeks flushed and her heart race. Dick slowly pulled away.

"All that because I chewed my pen?" the Magician said.

Dick ran his fingers through his raven-hair and smirked at her.

"What can I say? You're adorable, Zatanna. Heck, you're beautiful!" Dick said, looking at her over his shades "Sometimes I can't control myself and I just have to kiss you. What were you writing?"

Zatanna rested her head on his shoulder and snuggled down.

"Just a poem. Nothing that concerns you," she said.

"A'right, you wanna watch Rizzoli & Isles?" Dick asked, picking up the T.V remote.

"Sure," Zatanna said "But I have to put away my diary first,"

Zatanna picked it up and Dick saw the combination lock.

"Let me guess," Dick said "The combination is 10105,"

"Dick! How'd you know?"


No, Dick doesn't know the combination to Zatanna's diary because he's a creepy stalker. He used his detective skills to deduce it. Do you know why the combination is 10105? Because Robin and Zatanna first met on October 10th at roughly 5 p.m.
