Kid Flash felt bad, Robin was scared and wanted comfort, but Kid Flash wasn't giving it to him. Robin whimpered in fear as he sat under the blanket, clinging to Kid Flash's shirt. Kid Flash gently rubbed Robin's back.
"Robin, I'm really tired, I need to sleep, please don't be scared."
Kid Flash carried Robin back to his bed and pulled the sheets over him, then he got into his own bed. He heard Robin whimpering quietly, then he heard a shuffling noise coming towards him, when it got right next to him, it stopped. A few seconds later he heard the shuffling noise again, but it was getting quieter. After a few minutes, Kid Flash couldn't help but check on Robin. He got up and walked over to his bed.
"Robin, you o.k.?"
Silence.
"Robin?"
Kid Flash lifted up the sheets to find Robin cuddling his build-a-bear Robin and sucking his thumb.
Oh no, Kid Flash thought, He saw me sleeping earlier.
All of a sudden, the lights in the room lit up as the power came back on. The door slid open and Artemis walked in. She saw Robin and burst into laughter. Robin jolted awake and saw Artemis laughing and Kid Flash holding up his bedsheets.
"Wally?" Robin looked at Kid Flash with a saddened expression, his eyes tearing up.
"Robin, i-it's not what it looks like."
Robin stood up, tears streaming down his face, and punched Kid Flash in the chest before running out of the room. Artemis stopped laughing and helped Kid Flash up.
"Are you o.k. Wally? I didn't mean for this to happen, I just wanted to scare you guys."
"All of this was your doing?"
"Yes, but I-,"
Kid Flash ran out of the room, clutching his chest. He saw Aqualad, Superboy, and Megan standing outside of the door to the briefing room.
"KF, what's wrong with Robin?" Megan asked, "He's locked himself in the briefing room."
"Artemis played a prank on us and there was a misunderstanding. Megan can you unlock the door long enough for me to run inside?"
Megan nodded and closed her eyes. Kid Flash heard a click and the door opened long enough for him to run inside before Robin closed it again.
"What do you want?"
Robin's eyes were bloodshot and his gloves were soaked.
"Robin listen, Artemis was trying to scare us with the power outage and the mice, but before she turned the power back on, I went to check on you and she came in right when I lifted the sheets."
Robin stared at Kid Flash from the corner where he was sitting, his eyes said I don't believe you, but his face said otherwise.
"If you still don't believe me, then I'll just le-,"
He didn't finnish his sentence because Robin had pressed their lips together. They stood there, kissing for what felt like hours before they separated.
"I believe you."
Kid Flash blushed before Robin pulled him into another kiss.
