AN: Yay! Sunday! It's finally done! I apologise in advance for it's crappyness. And it's lateness, I got caught up in school and stuff.
Sunday
Babs sighed and drew in the ground with a stick. She was sitting in the expanse of space Bruce had the hide to call a backyard. She checked her watch. Two o'clock. He wouldn't be far away now. The back door clicked and she stood up, moving behind a tree. "Trying to avoid saying goodbye?" she called, staring at the ground. There was a sigh, followed by begrudging footsteps headed in her direction. She looked up to see the masked face of Robin. He was still in civvies but his hair was spiked and she could tell his boots were part of his uniform. His cape was probably in his backpack.
"Now Barbara, why would you say that?" he asked, a little annoyed. She studied his body language for the tell tale ticks that would reveal what his, now hidden eyes were saying.
She looked at the stick still in her hand, "Oh yeah cause everyone leaves via the back door." she glanced at him. "Take that off."
"What?" he asked blankly.
"Your mask."
"No."
Barbara's eyes narrowed. "Fine. But this is a secret only Dick can know, so piss off and let me know when he's back." she said folding her arms.
Robin sighed. "I am Dick."
The red-head shrugged, "No, you're Robin. I don't feel like talking to Robin." Robin's head moved slightly. He unfolded her arms.
"Dick's a little tired, his head's kinda fuzzy."
Babs half smiled. "And Robin? How's he?"
"His heart's little sore, but his head's clearer. What about Batgirl, can I talk to her?" he asked.
Babs smirked and pulled her cowl from her pocket. They'd devised this when they were younger. A way of talking about things but still staying detached. That probably wasn't a healthy way of thinking, but then, they were bats. She slipped the cowl over her head. "Yeah, you can."
"You okay?" Robin asked.
Batgirl sighed. "I'm fine Rob. Barbara? Not so much."
He frowned "Why?"
Batgirl shrugged. "Her head's fuzzy and her heart hurts too. Then that goes away, and her heart gets fuzzy and her head hurts. She really can't win."
"That's what's wrong with her, not why." Robin said simply.
Batgirl sighed. "Cause Dick doesn't notice her." she said. "He passes her over, or thinks of her as a sister."
"Why does she think that?" Robin asked, a ghost of a smile on his lips.
"Well he was dating Kory."
"Yeah, was. He isn't now."
"Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean he sees her like…" Batgirl trailed off.
"Like?"
"Like she sees him." the girl finished.
"Well what would mean he sees her like that?" Robin asked grabbing Batgirls hand.
Batgirl shrugged. "I don't know. Saying something?"
Robin leaned in close to her ear. "What about doing something?" he whispered. He dropped her hand and ripped both their masks off simultaneously. As blue eyes met brown he smiled, leaned in and kissed her. Just softly but enough to show he meant it. He leant his forehead on hers. "Is that how you see me?"
Babs grinned and threw her arms around his neck. "I knew it!" she whispered excitedly. Dick laughed and hugged her back. She froze and looked at him. "You're not just on the rebound right?"
"Right." Dick smiled. Babs squealed and hugged him again. Dick laughed again and spun her around. She smiled and kissed him. He looked at her. "I have to go back inside and say goodbye properly now don't I?" he asked smiling.
Babs messed up his meticulously gelled hair. "Yep!" she said happily. Dick smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, as they walked back to the house.
"Hey Babs, guess what?" he started, "You're still ticklish!" he said before chasing her around, tickling her till she screamed.
She escaped his grasp and ran a few metres away. "Hey Dick, guess what?" she grinned evilly, "I still have a stick." The red-head laughed maniacally as she chased her raven-haired compatriot around the back yard.
Bruce watched them chase each other around. Dick temporarily halting Babs' progress by throwing leaves at her. She cast her stick aside and charged him. Knocking him to the ground. They wrestled for a while before, after she's pinned him, Barbara kissed he new boyfriend. Alfred came up behind the billionaire. "Hmm, so they finally realised they like each other?" the butler asked.
"Yep." Bruce smiled widely as Dick tried to get up only to be pulled back down again. "It looks that way." he wandered back into the house. "Let them play in the leaves. They'll come in when they get bored."
Alfred raised an eyebrow. "Master Bruce, they have just admitted their feelings for each other, it will get dark before they get bored." he said simply.
Bruce smiled, "Probably." he called. The butler smiled and walked back inside, leaving the teenagers laughing, and throwing leaves at each other, totally oblivious to the world around them.
