"You know you love someone when you cannot put into words how they make you feel."
A/N: I know you've been waiting for something like this for a while.
Zatanna straightened out her school uniform, looking around the alley as she did so. Had anyone seen her appear out of thin air? Using her magic to teleport her a few blocks away from her school was way better than riding the bus to school any day.
She started towards her school, it was getting closer and closer to winter and every morning was darker. She passed through the forest that was a faster way to school than her normal route, plus there was an unattended motor-cycle, a nice one she might add, parked by the curb. It would attract thugs like moths to a light. Whoever left it was going to be very disappointed.
As she walked she became increasingly aware of the sounds the leaves made under her shoes made and the way her frosty breath added to the eerie forest. She wasn't scared. She just thought something wasn't right. It was so quiet.
Suddenly something shot out of the tree above her and wrapped around her waist pulling her up. Strong arms replaced the rope around her waist and she pushed her head back smacking whoever in the face. "AGH! Zee! Shit Zee, it`s me!" Said a familiar voice behind her.
Zatanna stopped struggling and turned around on the branch supporting them and saw Robin holding his nose to stop the blood from flowing. "Geez, remind me never to surprise you again." He chuckled letting go of his nose.
She didn't pay attention to his comment and quickly crashed her lips onto his. It didn't take long for him to give in and wrap his arms around her waist. It felt so right, being in his arms. As quickly as it had started the kiss ended leaving a smug look on Robin`s face. "Miss me?"
She smiled, "Of course I did! I haven't seen you in a month, then you show up at Mnt. Justice and Batman says you're his sidekick. I see you`ve had a lot on your plate."
"Same for you," he chuckled, "I hear you went to Asia, did you bring me back a souvenir?"
"No, you were right though, they were mixing Venom with a cobra drug and tested it on the local animals and it had an unusual affect." She stated hopping out of the tree as the branch they were on growled. He jumped down next to her. "Which is why I saw a giant dog glaring at me the whole time yesterday." He smirked. He grabbed her hand and pulled her the way she came.
"Wait, I have school." She smirked. He pulled her closer so she leaned on his chest.
"I haven't seen you in a mount and you're ditching me for some snobby kids and teachers? Ouch." He chuckled. Zatanna rolled her eyes, "I guess I could go, but we can't make this a regular thing sadly."
He kissed her lightly barley touching her lips, he was teasing her and he knew it. Her cheeks burned as he smiled at her. He looked at his costume then at her school uniform, "Please?"
Zatanna rolled her eyes, "Egnahc otni raluger sehtolc!" She spoke, instantly she was in her favorite jeans a white sweater and black coat, Dick had on his own jeans with a green hoodie and shades. He smiled at her, "Ok, let's go." He grabbed her hand again and pulled her out of the forest and towards the road. Zatanna wasn't surprised to see the motor-cycle was Dick`s, her boyfriend was mysterious, she liked that about him.
Dick handed her a red helmet that matched the sleek exterior of the bike. She got on the back of the bike wrapping her arms tightly around Dick who laughed lightly. The bike started with a purr and they were off.

They enjoyed most of the day heading to museums and laughing at the odd painting at and sculptures, walking through the nearest city taking in the sights and sounds, she patted Dick on the back as he threw up his organs in a nearby trash can, she laughed to herself, "I told him I saw mice in that hotdog stand." Of course he didn't listen.
Finally they reached a small amusement park it was crowded and loud but they dug into the games and rides for a few hours. They now were walking back from the water guns with their hands intertwined. They headed out of the amusement park and to a nearby ally, Dick leaned against the wall, "Are you sure you don't need help getting home?" he asked wishing the day didn't have to end. Zatanna kissed him quickly and then pulled away, "I`m sure I can handle it, the team will be curious to know where I've been if I stay any longer."
Dick stepped closer to her a smug grin on his face, "You could tell them you spent the afternoon with 'Tom'." He chuckled. She laughed but shook her head, "I have duties Dick, but I`ll see you in three days." She smiled.
"Three day?" he asked. She nodded, "Me and the team are having difficulties with something." She said looking away. Dick raised an eyes brow; she was obviously trying to keep most of her team's secrets. He understood what she felt; she wanted to remain loyal to her team. There was nothing wrong with it.
"Ok." He said acting like he wasn't curious as to what she was talking about. She smiled. "Egnahc kcab ot ruo lanigiro sehtolc." She was back in her school uniform and he was back in his Robin costume. He smiled at his costume, "Thanks. I was actually going to stick around and see what I could do around here."
He saw her tense and knew she was thinking he was going to take out a few criminals, for good. He was uncertain about it, it brought him back to his fork in the road thought and he didn't want to choose a path till he had to. Did that make him a coward?
"Bye Zee." He smiled sadly.
"Bye." She said, "Annataz ot .Tnm Ecitsuj."
Then she was gone.
