Robin finally stirred in his sleep and whispered for someone.
At first, Batman thought he was imagining things. Then he heard his name again.
And again.
Batman just smirked and walked away. He let the little yellow streak pass him.
Robin curled up against the pillow and snuggled his cheek deeper into the softness.
KF peeked outside and was relieved to see Batman had left. He scurried over to sit beside Robin's bed. He was building up his courage. He wanted SO badly to say something.
Robin had nearly died... and did he know about KF's feelings? Heck no. Robin had nearly lost this life, and did KF reveal anything to him? Oh hell no.
So, better late than never, right?
Robin suddenly whispered the same name again.
KF jumped right outta his skin.
"R-Rob?"
Robin's eye cracked open and he groaned, rolling over to smile at KF. "Wally." He let his hand fling out and capture KF's wrist. "I'm cold."
KF flushed brightly and looked away. "You're always cold in Mount Justice."
"Mm." Robin's hand slacked and fell beside the bed. He kept mumbling no-nonsense. "Wally, I'm cold. Can you get me a... blanket?" He buried his face into the pillow and curled up into a small ball of black cloth and yellow cape.
Wally flushed and had an idea. Batman wasn't gonna be back until tomorrow...
Robin's eyes flashed open and he was about to sit up when he felt the arm draped over his waist and the arm under his head. He blinked and smiled. He managed to roll over and put his head so his forehead touched Wally's chin.
Wally didn't snore, despite the teasing he got from Artemis. He just breathed in and out, gradual and gentle.
Robin enjoyed the feeling of Wally's slacked hug. He was also enjoying the fact that he was small enough to curl up and fit into Wally's arms without making Wally come out of his slightly tucked position.
Wally stirred, but Robin was able to hold still.
He liked this.
A... lot.
Robin's dream was nice. It wasn't a nightmare like he'd been having.
Agua was sitting on a rock and she waved him over. "Come. I want to show you something."
He joined her on the slab over-looking the beach. "I'm listening."
