Hey guys! This wasn't really a prompt but I had to get this out of my system! Hope you like it!

Brotherly Instincts

*Flashback*

"You should have seen Captain Cold's face when I sped up and kicked his butt with a record time!" exclaimed Kid Flash as he boasted about his victory over the ice themes criminal. "It was so awesome, and Uncle Barry actually laughed at my antics this time. I'm getting used to this hero gig every day!"

"Nice one, Wallman!" said Speedy as he applauded while Kid Flash bowed jokingly.

It had become somewhat of a tradition for the last year for the three sidekicks to gather every Friday night at Gotham City Baseball Stadium to exchange their stories about their crime-fighting lives. Kid Flash was practically reenacting his battle with the Rogues, and Speedy watched with a smiling face as his younger brother prided himself.

Yet, Robin was acting odd.

"Hey Rob!" exclaimed Kid Flash as he noticed the eleven year old Boy Wonder kind of distracted. "Everything okay, pal?"

"Yeah, it's just that…" began Robin, kind of unsure how to proceed. "Nothing."

"You know you can tell us anything, right?" asked Speedy with concern as he raised an eyebrow.

Kid Flash nodded. "Come on, Rob, spill."

Robin just stood up and got out his hook-shot wire. "Listen guys, I'm just going to get home okay? Batman is expecting me and I… don't feel like talking. Have a great week guys…"

Without further words, Robin released a cable and swung away, leaving Speedy and Kid Flash in the baseball field.

Kid Flash frowned. "What's up with him?"

Speedy, being older and wiser than many fifteen year olds, looked at thirteen year old Kid Flash. "He's sad because he doesn't get to be a kid."

"How do you know that?" asked Kid Flash, kind of confused.

"I've seen him, he's told me," said Speedy as he fixed his yellow hat. "He loves being Robin, but there are times where wishes he could be loved like a regular kid. You know, Batman isn't the most affectionate mentor in the world. I think he lacks the recurring hug and words of affection a kid his age needs. He's only eleven…"

Kid Flash looked down in deep thought. "I get it."

"Yeah," said Speedy and sighed.

"Oh, I know!" exclaimed Kid Flash suddenly. "Why don't we give him that love ourselves?"

"What do you mean?" asked Speedy, slightly lost.

"Let's become his big brothers!" said Kid Flash with a smile as he looked proud with a smug grin. "I mean, my parents only wanted one child, and you… well… you don't have brothers yourself. Why don't we take Robin under our wing, become that family he needs? I mean, I would love to have a little brother!"

Speedy smiled warmly at him. "You're a dork. I like that. So… next time we see him…"

"We hug the life out of him!" exclaimed Kid Flash as extended his hand of Speedy to get a hand shake. "Let's promise something, Speedy. Let's promise we'll be brothers forever. The three of us. And we'll make Robin happy…"

The young archer shook the speedster's hand. "Sounds awesome. Now… is it okay if I call you Wally? We're brothers, we should refer ourselves with our names."

"Just if you let me call you Roy!" said Kid Flash with a smile. "And next time, we'll get Robin to tell us his name, and we'll be a team. Us three. Forever."

"I like the idea," said Speedy. "I would really like that…"

*End of Flashback*

The Cave was silent as Wally, in civvies, changed the TV channels, looking for something interesting to watch. The Team had just finished their latest mission, which included saving Kent Nelson, Dr. Fate, from the hands of an evil wizard boy called Klarion. It was a pretty chill mission, he became one with the magician and got his faith on magic restored. Wally felt strange, now knowing magic was real, but it felt somewhat good.

Sadly enough, Robin was with Batman and couldn't join them to their mission. However, he heard the Zeta Tube announce the arrival of said Boy Wonder, who was probably trying to escape the grasp of the always serious Batman. He probably needs a break.

Just as said, Robin entered the living room, wearing his civvies as well and his dark glasses. He looked exhausted, so tired that even Wally felt physical pain just watching his best friend that tired. "Rough night?"

"The worst! Two Face and Riddler teamed up!" exclaimed Robin as he jumped to the sofa, next to Wally, and leaned back in the couch. "We sent Two Face back to Arkham and Riddler to Belle Reve, but I'm so beat. I haven't had a good night of sleep in ages!"

Wally snorted. "Well, why don't you relax?"

"I think I'll take a nap," said Robin as he leaned down. "Let me know when the others get here."

"Yeah, Supey is fixing his bike with M'gann keeping him company. Artemis and Kaldur should be here soon though," said Wally and looked that Robin was already asleep. "Haha, typical. Just chill down dude…"

As Robin fell asleep, Wally continued to flicker through the channels.

Suddenly, something odd happened. Robin shuffled in his lying position and ended up with his head on Wally's lap, snuggling with his best friend. Wally chuckled. "And this?"

"You're warm," said Robin with a yawn and shifted to get more comfortable. "You smell nice."

Wally wanted to reply, but the boy was already gone to sleep again.

The speedster smiled, having the Boy Wonder so close to him, like a little kid and his big brother. The redhead, out of brotherly instinct, placed his hand on Robin's hair and started to rub it slowly, patting his head with love. "Just relax Rob, just relax…"

They stayed like that for roughly half an hour, Robin snoring lightly on Wally's lap.

Then the rest of the Team entered the living room. M'gann and Superboy were talking, Artemis was discussing with Kaldur about the next mission and where did they thought Batman would take them.

"I mean, we could end up in Qurac next time!" said Artemis, somewhat excited.

"Shh!"

They all blinked surprised and then turned to Wally, who was still sitting in the couch, asking them to be quiet.

"Uhh, Baywatch?" asked Artemis, confused.

Wally huffed. "Keep quiet guys, you'll wake him up!"

With curiosity, the rest of the Team approached Wally and finally saw Robin sleeping peacefully in Kid Flash's lap.

M'gann gushed. "Oh my! He looks so cute!"

"Wow, that's a new one," said Superboy with surprise, having never seen Robin like that before.

Wally smiled at them. "I know, you don't get to see Rob like this very often."

"Is he alright?" asked Kaldur with leader concern.

"Just tired, you know, Batman's sidekick," said Wally as he looked down at the parcel in his lap. "You know guys, Robin has had a very tough childhood. I know I can't say much because of his identity and stuff but…"

"You know who he is?" asked Artemis surprised.

"Of course, he's my best friend," said Wally with pride. "But you know, as I was saying. He's had a rough childhood and… sometimes… he just likes to be treated as a kid. You may see him always concerned for the mission and very in character, but sometimes he can't help himself. That's why Red Arrow and I promised to be always there for him and give him affection."

M'gann looked fondly at Robin. "That's so sweet, Wally!"

"Yeah," said Wally and blushed. "You know me, sweetcheeks. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm taking him to bed."

With strength, Wally took Robin within his arms and stood up, carrying the Boy Wonder.

Robin shuffled in Wally's arms. "Wally?"

He didn't seem to notice the others.

"Hey Rob, I'm getting you to bed, just relax buddy," said Wally and winked at the others.

He left the living room with Robin in his arms, leaving the Artemis looking amused, M´gann gushing, Kaldur with a smile and even Superboy seemed to be touched by such a show of affection from their resident speedster.

The bond Kid Flash, Robin and Red Arrow had was like no other.

Wally got to his room and put the Boy Wonder down on his bed. Robin shifted and smiled. "Thanks… Wally…"

The redhead ruffled his hair. "Just rest easy, Dickie, I'm going to be here with you if you need me. Love you, bro."
