'Obsessive and Dismissive'

by Song Six

"Um, KF, what are you're doing?" Robin asked his best friend, who was currently wielding a butter knife. It doesn't matter how safe a butter knife was, any sharp object in Kid Flash's hands was a dangerous risk.

"I'm cutting the crust off your sandwich for you! Duh! For the protégée of the World's Greatest Detective you sure are slow," Robin scowled at him knowing the other knew very well what he meant.

"I'm pretty sure Robin wanted to know why you're cutting the crusts off for him," Artemis chimed in

"No one asked you Harpy. Here you go Rob, I'm gonna go for a quick run now, and chew slowly, you don't want to choke like last time," Wally tsked in concern getting a groan from the other two teens in the kitchen.

"I only choked because you made me laugh while I was eating," Robin said as he picked up his now crustless peanut butter and banana sandwich.

"That reminds me! Hey Artemis, knock knock!" the blonde simply glared at him

Wally's grin didn't cave in, he continued to probe, "I said knock knock!"

"Just do it or he'll never stop…" Robin didn't even bother to whisper receiving a glare from the red head.

"Ugh, fine, who's there?"

Wally couldn't stop sniggering to himself, "I like to…hee…I like….heehee, I like to eat map!"

The girl rolled her eyes, "I like to eat map who?"

The speedster started to bust a gut laughing. Robin couldn't help but smirk a bit as well, "Dude! You're so gross! Hahahaha!"

The blonde shook her head as she realized the meaning of the joke, "Oh my god, you are so immature, what are you in third grade?"

"You're the one who eats her own feces!"Wally laughed, and with that he ran off

Artemis sat down next to Robin at the kitchen island and watched him eat his meal. As he got up to get a glass of milk, she continued to look at him.

"Is something up Artemis?" Robin asked feeling her eyes watch him. He pulled the carton out, sniffed it, made a sour face and put it back. Instead of throwing it out he'd rather wait to see if Kid Flash or Superboy would be stupid enough to drink straight out of the carton without checking the expiration date. That would teach them to have no manners. it's the same move Alfred pulled on him. The girl didn't even comment on his choice of action too distracted by her question at mind.

"What's up with Bay Watch lately?"

"Oh, KF? Nothing out of the usual I guess, he always tells idiotic jokes. You of all people are usually aware of that," Robin replied before settling for a juice box.

Artemis crossed her arms, "not that. I knew that already. I mean, what's up with him being so…clingy over you? Hey, toss me one!"

Before he closed the fridge he grabbed another juice for artemis and tossed her way, "What are you talking about?"

Artemis caught the juice with one hand, and punched a hole into the top with the straw, "He cut the crusts off your sandwich."

"He knows I really like it whenever my…er…Grandpa Alfred…" somewhere in Gotham Mr. Pennyworth's bones shook as he felt a chill as if someone had suggested he was past his prime. No one called Alfred old and got away with it, "…would cut the crust off for me."

"Couldn't you do it yourself?"

"I would have, but I'm kind of lazy. And I don't mind if someone else does it for me freely, so I decided not to stop him. Seemed weird, but it didn't seem that weird," the boy replied before polishing off his last bite.

"I also noticed Wally acting clingy too," said M'gann as she walked over to the oven to pull out the contents inside.

Closing her eyes Artemis sniffed the air in approval "Mmm, Megan those smell really good," she complimented.

"Thanks, it's a new recipe from an unusual TV show I wanted to try out, I'm glad I didn't burn them," M'gann smiled happy she had succeeded. She then place the goodies onto a plate and pushed them over to the other two teens to taste for themselves. Each one pick one up, but only Artemis took a bite while the young boy studied it carefully.

"These are really good? What's in them?" she asked munching contently

"Grasshoppers and spiders," Robin started to giggle and covered his mouth while Artemis' face screwed up in disgust as she swallowed, hard, and placed the treat back onto the plate. M'gann frowned wondering what was wrong with her baking this time.

"Alright, back on topic. Robin, you seriously haven't noticed him being extra," the blonde tapped her chin a few times before gurgitating a word,"…controlling...?"

"Protective?" M'gann added

"Possessive?"

"Insistent?"

"Suffocating?"

Robin's eyebrow started to twitch, "Ok! I get it! But I really have no idea what you girls are talking about." The two said girls looked at each other knowingly before looking back at Robin.. This really annoyed the young boy.

"Are you two referring to Kid Flash getting angry with Superboy the other day?" Kaldur asked as he walked towards the fridge. Robin carefully watched him from behind his sunglasses without moving his head.

"He did not get pissed at Superboy," before Kaldur commented back he pulled out the milk carton, opened the top and took a sip. After taking a swig his eyes went wide and his face turned green like Miss Martian's skin. He then proceeded to run over to sink and spit the liquid out while rinsing his mouth out with the running water. Robin started to giggle uncontrollably.

Kaldur tossed the carton into the trash and gave Robin a gentle but disciplining slap on the shoulder knowing he was the one who set the practical joke up.

Artemis simply smiled innocently pretending she had no idea, "Uh yeah, he did. Didn't you see his face when Superboy ran out of the warehouse carrying you?"

"Why would Kid get mad at Superboy for that? He saved my life! The whole place was about to explode and I got stuck underneath a beam," Robin argued remembering that mission. They were handling a drug ring going down in a abandoned warehouse up in Star City. He got stuck underneath one of the supports when the place started to collapse, but he lifted him out bridal style and they got out just in time.

"Why are you guys talking about me? I heard my name from the beach," demanded Superboy as he walked in. Everyone remembered - Super earing. He opened the fidge and held a confused look on his face.

"If you're looking for milk Kaldur already drank the rest," the Atlantian sent Robin a reprimanding look ceasing his giggles. The muscled boy just became even more confused.

"We were talking about Kid Retard being extra clingy and possessive," Robin's eyebrow twitched once more. If he heard the word clingy one more time he was seriously hurt someone.

Superboy scratched his head thinking, "…like how he tucks Robin in at night?"

"Exactly!" both M'gann and Artemis agreed

"Why are we even discussing this?" the young boy groaned slamming his empty juice box into the trash can. M'gann gasped wondering if they were pushing the subject a little too hard.

Artemis didn't care, "Because you don't seem to think it's weird."

"He's always been this way, what's so unusual about it?" he bit out grinding his teeth in frustration.

The older teens looked at each other having a conversation to themselves with their eyes. Robin hated when people do that, adults did it all the time when they thought they knew something. Eventually Kaldur, the wisest one of the group, spoke up.

He put his hands on the boy's shoulders, "Robin, I'm not entirely sure how close friendships work on land…"

"And I can tell you people who are 'just friends' relationship don't run the way theirs do," Artemis interrupted receiving a raspberry from Robin along with a look from Aqualad.

"…but in Atlantis, when people act this way with each other it means they have…"

"A sickenly unhealthy obsession."

"Artemis, please," the blonde smirked and closed her mouth containing any more wise cracks, "It means they have a crush."

They stared at Robin waiting for a reaction, but he sat there speechless with a shocked face. Even though they could not see his eyes they could tell by his raised eyebrows he was wide eyed. Miss Martian had a powerful urge to fly over and hug the poor boy. Kaldur wanted to take back the surprising news; maybe it wasn't the right time? Artemis felt awkward not knowing how she could comfort the young boy. Superboy felt bad for Wally because Robin must not reciprocate his feelings if he's reacting in such a way.

Suddenly, Robin started to giggle, and then he started laughing. Loud, and hard. Now Superboy really felt bad for Wally.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AW MAN! HAHAHAHAHA!" he left them flabbergasted.

"I knew he liked to laugh at people's humiliation," Superboy whispered to M'gann remembering the first spar he had with Black Canary," but I didn't think he'd be this cruel."

The four were speechless at Robin's response and said nothing as he laughed. Finally when he managed to calm down he got up and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. He opened the cap and took a large gulp.

"Man, that was a good one. Really it was, you guys had me going," Robin commended as he sat back down. The older four all rolled their eyes in unison.

"Robin, we are not joking."

"Yeah, if we were we'd all be laughing."

"Rob, Wally does like you, it's really obvious."

"You're mean," they all looked at Superboy, and he merely shrugged his shoulders

"Look guys, I know you all mean well and all, and I say this with as much delicacy as I can muster up…but have you all been brainwashed by a bunch of genomes," Superboy glared at him for that comment," or was there something toxic in those brownies Megan baked last night that made you all act crazy? Luckily I was smart enough not to eat any," M'gann considered using her powers to pick the boy up and toss him into the trashcan. Artemis was simply amused by Robin's usual immaturity as a thirteen-year-old.

"How many times do we have to have a talk about having respect and being polite," the boy muttered an innocent 'I don't know' and Kaldur sighed in frustration," that being beside the point, Kid Flash has feelings for you. You do not have to acknowledge them openly. But you do have to acknowledge they exist."

Robin looked him in the eye seriously almost considering taking their word on the matter, but then shook his head profusely refusing to believe Wally West had feelings other than brotherly friendship for him.

"Whatever! I bet it was the brownies, look I'll see you guys at dinner I have training to do!" Robin than disappeared out of nowhere and gave his infamous laugh.

"I hate. When He does that," Superboy commented as he picked up one of the cookies from the plate on the island.

"You don't want to eat that!" Robin called, instead of wondering how the young boy knew he was about to bite into the cookie, he set it down trusting his better judgment.
