Chapter 4: Understanding
"Did you bring my entire room?" Robin asked incredulously when he saw three bags land at his feet almost two hours later. In that time the Titan leader had sent a message to Cyborg explaining to the metal man that he would be incognito for a few days, and that he couldn't tell him where he was.
"No. One bag is mine, the other yours, and this black one is Slade's." the thief grinned.
Slade raised an eyebrow.
"How did you get past my security?" the man wanted to know.
"Uh…there was security?
"Yes…"
"You sure?" Red blinked.
"Yes, positive."
"See, I must be just that awesome. I didn't trigger a thing!" the klepto said, he sounded very happy with himself.
"Or…" Robin sighed, rooting through his own bag on top of the bed. "Vince somehow destroyed the system when he went there."
"Oh…" Red said disappointedly. Then he seemed to perk up, jumping on to the bed that Robin was occupying. "Well, so tell us!"
"Can I change first? Geez." the Titan glared. "You got everything I wanted…" he added with a frown.
"Yep! I did! Just like you asked!" The other teen giggled, before starting to remove his uniform.
"What are you doing?" Robin almost screeched when he saw a very toned chest revealed.
"I'm changing. I'm not sleeping in this thing either!"
"Go into the bathroom, idiot." the hero growled, throwing the bag at the thief, but ended up missing in his embarrassment and hitting the computer that Slade had used earlier. Thankfully it didn't break. The bag bounced off the screen and onto the floor though, emptying parts of the contents inside on the carpet.
Slade was standing next to the bag, as all three of them looked at a small pink bottle of something-or-other that had rolled on to the floor. Robin's eyes were wide.
"What is this?" Slade asked, picking the bottle up. Once he saw what it was, he didn't seem to know if he was amused or angry.
"Um…"
Robin jumped off the bed, stalking towards the bottle.
"You…!" the hero gaped when he saw what it was. The teen's face exploded into red, but neither villain knew if it was from anger or embarrassment.
"Get out!" the hero shouted.
"What?" Red said wide-eyed.
"Get out! I want you out of here right now!"
"But Kid-"
Robin was staring at the klepto coldly, fists clenched at his sides, looking as if he would spontaneously combust.
"No buts!" the Titan growled, grabbing the scared thief by his mask, and haling him towards the door. "You just had to push my buttons, didn't you? Couldn't just let me have my piece for one night, could you? Thought you were being hilarious, right? Well, here is a hilarious thought for you! Did it ever occur to you that I. Don't. Like. You?" and with that, he threw Red out into the hallway, slammed the door, and locked it.
Robin was seething when he harshly grabbed his bag, and stomped into the bathroom for a shower, the door rattling at how hard it was shut.
Oh god…Twice in one night, what is wrong with me?
As the hero stood under the spray of hot water, his anger melted away and was replaced with a slight guilt. He hadn't been that angry, not really. Any other day and he would of just blushed and knocked the thief on the head, but tonight, he'd been at the end of his rope. He was exhausted. He just wanted to feel safe and protected, for one stinking night. He didn't want to deal with all the bullshit that followed him around.
He didn't hate the klepto, no, he was just annoying sometimes. He liked flirting with him, and Slade too. It was the weird relationship they all had with each other. Slade was…just a little more discrete with it, and that was what Robin liked. And secretly, Robin did like all the attention that Red bestowed upon him. He'd just been so damned tired and cranky. The fact that this was a serious situation didn't seem to sink into the klepto at all. He didn't want all the jokes and barbs tonight. He'd just wanted to relax.
Robin sighed to himself when he thought about how he'd reacted to seeing the pink bottle of lubricant that had been in the thief's bag. It wasn't even that big of an issue, to be honest. At least, it wouldn't have been any other day of the week. Red was the type of person to do such a thing, and Robin knew that. He'd just…let his exhaustion and feelings overtake his mind, and had lashed out of the guy who was trying to help him, even if he was being a little annoying.
Neither Red nor Slade had to help him, but, they were. They were putting aside their own projects to help him overcome Vince. Albeit they were jealous, but he felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach when he thought of Slade and Red being jealous over a man who was proclaiming feelings for him.
He didn't realize he was smiling at the thought as he dried himself off.
Slade had changed into a pair of black sweat pants and white tank top, a soft cotton black mask covering everything on his face except for his mouth and eye. Robin couldn't help but stare, he had changed into a pair of gray sweats with a hip length white shirt after his shower, his eye mask still on.
"It goes against everything I stand for, but perhaps Red isn't as much an idiot as I chalked him down to be." The man grinned at him, and Robin couldn't help be surprised. Slade's mask might make the mercenaries voice muffled, but now that it was free of its prison, he sounded even…sexier? The Titan blushed at his thought.
"What do you mean?" Robin titled his head, slowly moving towards the bed that Slade was now sitting on.
"Everything in my bag was acceptable." he grinned. The hero could see a small outline of white around the lips. A goatee perhaps? It still looked amazing either way.
"It was?" he asked, feeling guilty again. "Are you defending him?" he added with a snort.
"Absolutely not." Slade smirked. Robin couldn't help but laugh.
"Is he still out there, do you know?"
"I believe so." the one-eyed villain said. "Why?"
"I'll let him back in, but I want him to suffer a little first." he stage whispered so said thief couldn't hear them.
"What did you have in mind?" Slade leered, liking the evil look on the hero's face. Robin smiled sweetly and crawled on to the bed, whispering in the man's covered ear his plan.
Slade couldn't stop the smirk.
Red sighed and tilted his head back against the hotel room's door. He knew he'd gone a little too far in his fun. But, he couldn't help it, he liked messing with Robin. He had no intention of forcing the bird into anything, especially with Slade hovering over him all the time, but he just liked to get the kid all flustered. He liked working the hero up, knowing that he didn't have much time for fun and games, he liked to tease the Titan as much as he could.
Usually it was pushed away with a blush and a hit to some part of his body, but he should have known not to piss the raven-haired boy that night. He'd just been too excited to think it out first, and had ended up with an angry bird on his ass.
He sighed again, wondering if he pleaded to be allowed back in, he would be permitted. He was about to knock on the door when he heard a little sound, barely a noise really, but he wouldn't be able to mistake the Titan's voice for anything.
It had sounded like…like a hiss?
Suddenly there was a loud bang next to the door, like someone had slammed something, or someone, against the wall next to it.
What the?
"What…what are you doing?" came Robin's muffled voice, he sounded fearful.
"Taking what should have been mine. Now that the annoying klepto is out of the way, I'm going to have some fun with you." Slade growled low.
"Sl-Slade stop…no don't touch me there!" came the cry, and a struggle. Red was on his feet in an instant, his eyes wide in shock. Was Slade? Was he going to…?
"Slade!" came the startled moan.
"Your so hard, Robin."
Red gasped out loud. Robin was being…touched by Slade? And he was liking it!
No, no, no, no, no!
"HEY!" the thief shouted, banging on the door. He was ignored.
"No stop, don't…"
"You have such sexy boxers, little bird." he purred.
Red growled in his throat, instantly becoming jealous. That should be him touching and teasing the kid like that, not Slade! Him!
He lunged at the door with all his might. The frame didn't budge one bit, and he grew frustrated, since the noise was becoming louder than before. The thief snarled and smashed into the door again.
"HEY! YOU BASTARD!" Red shouted. "STOP IT!"
He was ignored just like before.
He threw his body at the door a few more times, heaving as he began to feel tired. It wasn't until he threw his fists into the air that he realized that he still had his belt on, which had a few picks in one of the pockets that he could just use to unlock the door with. He smacked himself in the head for his stupidity and quickly undid the lock.
He barged into the room, breathing harshly, startling the two occupants who were flush up against the wall next to the door. Red made a distressed noise, before, unbelievably removing his mask, and lunged at Robin, who was so shocked, didn't even move out of the way as the klepto pushed against him, and then both hit the floor at Slade's feet with a crash.
He didn't even have time to get his breath back before he was already attaching his lips to the startled hero's.
"What are you doing?" Robin almost shouted, after the teen had removed his lips from the Titan's. Robin could see everything, the short red hair, freckled features, hazel eyes, cheeky grin.
"If Slade here is allowed to claim you, than so can I!" Red said jealously. There was no way that Slade was going to have Robin all to himself. When he saw something pretty, he always went after it. He liked pretty things.
"We weren't even doing anything, you idiot!" The hero muttered, slowly standing up. He was confused about his reaction. Not only had he gotten aroused by the fact that Slade and him had been pretending to touch each other, a thought that sounded very appealing to the Titan, he'd felt his cock stir when the thief had kissed him.
Gah, this is so confusing!
"What?" Red blinked.
"It was pretend." Slade said, a little disappointed.
"Pretend?"
"Yes, pretend." the mercenary stressed the word, like the thief were a four year old.
"I just wanted to get you back, for …the lube…" Robin mumbled, a slight blush on his face.
"By making me jealous?" Red snorted. "Didn't you hear me trying to bust down the door?"
"Yeah, but that made it more fun." the Titan admitted. He then started grinning. "You were jealous?" he snickered, shutting the door, and proceeding over to the bed on the far side.
"NO!" Red said quickly, and it was now possible for then to see his blush.
"Well, too late anyways. I'm Slade's now." Robin said seriously.
"What?"
"Yeah, I did what you told me to, I confessed that I wanted to fuck his brains out and he said the same. We're a couple now, didn't you know? We decided that we wanted an exclusive relationship though, so…no thieves allowed." Robin explained. He tried not to burst out laughing at the gaping look that Red sent to him, like he was about to faint from shock.
Slade tried to hold back a chuckle.
"WHAT?" the klepto shouted. He'd missed his chance? NO!
Both Robin and Slade seemed to break at the same moment. Maybe it was the distressed way that he was looking at them both, or the quivering lip that seemed to pout that did it, but they both cracked. The hero bursting out laughing, Slade chuckling.
"You are so dense sometimes." Robin said between laughs.
Red felt had.
"Like I would ever tell Slade that I wanted him to fuck my brains out." the Titan continued laughing, not noticing the two identical looks behind his back.
"So you do want me to fuck you, just that you don't want to tell me, hm?" the man sounded quite pleased with himself.
"Well ya I-" Robin cut himself off with a sharp gasp, his face heating up, eyes wide. "I didn't mean that!" he shouted.
"Oh, I think you did." the thief grinned from ear-to-ear.
"No! I didn't! I wouldn't want Slade to touch me with a ten foot pole!" the hero said, near panic now.
"Just me then? I'm so flattered, really babe." Red smirked, his hazel eyes shinning.
"Exact-NO!"
He couldn't believe it! He'd been had, twice! TWICE!
"I hate you! I hate you both!" Robin screamed fleeing to the bathroom, locking the door while Red burst into laughter. Slade idly wondered why the staff hadn't come running yet, there had been a lot of yelling going on in the last three hours.
It was closing in on the early morning now, somewhere around two am. Slade was resting on the bed closest to the computer, Red pacing the room. It had been nearly half-an-hour since the little bird had locked himself in the bathroom. The thief had tried numerous attempts at goading Robin out on his own, but they were met with a stubborn 'leave me alone'. The man couldn't help but grin though, at the recent information that he had been privy to not long ago, of a certain Boy Wonder's affections. He knew the teen had flirted with him, it hadn't been a misinterpretation.
However, as his eye landed on the red-head leaning against the wall next to the bathroom door, arms crossed over his chest, heaving a sigh, the mercenary narrowed his eye at the klepto. He didn't know if the thief was a …complication or not. He knew the red-head had an attraction to his bird, that much was certain from his little mishap earlier, but he hadn't been displeased with the kiss the two teens shared, not like he had thought he would have.
No, he'd been turned on.
He knew the klepto wasn't much of an issue. It would be an easy enough problem to fix, should things escalate to a point that the man didn't like. So, he would allow the thief his fun, if the situation ever did arise, however.
"Robin, you can't keep locked up in there forever you know." Slade kindly let him know, having enough of his brooding thoughts for one night.
"He's right kid, I promise I won't make any more jibes at you tonight, okay?" the thief offered with a grin.
"Yeah, right, like I'm going to fall for that one." Robin said through the door, you could just hear the frown that was now sported on his features. "You might stop tonight, but there is nothing stopping you from tomorrow night, is there?"
Damn, Red thought, he caught me.
"You're too smart for your own good." the thief sighed, leaning his head back against the wall.
"As if you didn't already know that." Robin said smugly.
"You can be amazingly dense sometimes." Slade chuckled, almost repeating what the hero had said to the klepto earlier.
"Yeah, well you two can be some thick headed." Robin growled, but there was a small pout.
"I have something thick, but its not my head…wait, I lied, it is my head." Red said with a leer.
"I thought you said no more jibes, bastard." the teen glared through the door.
"You never came out of the bathroom, so I can make all the jibes I want to, so there!" the klepto almost stuck his tongue out.
"Well, guess I'll have to get used to them, since I'm not coming out!" Robin frowned.
"You are so stubborn." Slade muttered, but the hero heard him.
"You sound surprised! I'd thought you'd be used to that, but I guess not. Ten points lost for you both." the Titan grinned despite himself.
"Oh my god, you are giving me a headache." Red moaned, rubbing the sides of his head. He then realized that he had taken off his mask. He was surprised that it didn't bother him as much as it should have, really. He tried for so long to keep his identity secret, but it didn't much bother him to be exposed at the moment. These circumstances were completely different. Even though both Slade and him were villains and Robin a hero, he overlooked that fact here. It was not the time and place. He was content with treating both boys as if they were on equal playing fields. Robin seemed to feel the same, which made the situation easier. Well, if only he'd come out of the bathroom.
"Now you know how it feels to be annoyed all the time." Robin growled.
"If you don't come out of there, Robin, I'll kick down the door and force you out. Or would you like to come out on your own and save your dignity? Because I can assure you I won't much care about it once the door is shattered. Besides, you should be used to being embarrassed." Slade threatened.
There was silence for a while, before the door opened a minute later, a disgruntled looking bird making his way out.
"Hey! I want super Robin persuasion powers!" Red complained.
"You can't have them." Robin sulked cutely, climbing over to the bed next to the one that Slade was resting on. He sank down on the pillows and sighed softly, snuggling into the fabric. It only took moments for his exhausted brain to shut down and he was asleep within seconds. The past few sleepless nights and tiresome weeks finally taking their toll on the small boy.
Slade raised an eyebrow, but left it be. Robin was much too cute curled up with his pillow anyway to disturb him.
Red looked from the mercenary to the sleeping bird, before frowning himself.
"Hey, he never told us if he was a virgin or not."
A/N: I'm estimating around 10 chapters or so, if I have planned this out accordingly. I know I spent a lot of time on the VERY first night, but it was necessary. It won't take nearly as long for the next night. Also, I promise that the slash is coming, but you must have patience!
