"You seem a little upset, is something bothering you?" Kakashi asked. Sakura looked up from the pot on the stove and stared at her mentor.
"Not really," Sakura answered, turning back to the meal she was preparing.
"Are you sure? Because normally you would be talking up a storm, but you're quiet today," Kakashi noted.
"Alright, I'm a little upset," Sakura admitted.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked.
"…Robin…" Sakura sighed.
"What did he do?" Kakashi asked, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
"No, he did nothing wrong!" Sakura said quickly. "It's just…I'm not the only girl that likes him. And the way we interact hasn't really changed, except for the kisses and hugs, but that's in private. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised but…"
"But what?" Kakashi prodded. Sakura sat down at the table and sighed.
"I finally have something right in my life, something that is just mine and not Cherī's as well. I finally have someone that loves me, and someone I do love back, but…I'm not the only one that likes him," Sakura told him. "On December first, on his birthday, Kid Flash told Zatanna, another teammate of ours, that it was Robin's birthday. Her birthday present to him was a kiss. So yeah, I guess I'm upset, but…do I get mad at him as well?"
"No, he did nothing wrong," Kakashi agreed with her. "But you do need to confront this Zatanna girl before it's too late and she thinks he likes her back."
"Alright, thank you Kakashi-sensei," Sakura smiled. "I know you're supposed to be on bed rest, but it is the first night of the festival. Would like to go with me?"
"I'd love to," Kakashi nodded.
"Great, dinner should be ready soon! And then we can head out!" Sakura smiled.
Mount Justice
December 24
"Zatanna, I need to speak with you, now!" Sakura ordered.
"Is this about why you've been so mad at me lately?" Zatanna asked crossing her arms.
"Yes," Sakura nodded. Zatanna nodded and followed her, entering the training room.
"Okay, I've been racking my brain for the past two weeks, why are you so mad?" Zatanna asked.
"What did you do on December 1st?" Sakura asked.
"What? Is this about Robin's birthday?" Zatanna questioned.
"Yes, more importantly it's about what you gave him as a so called 'gift'," Sakura hissed.
"All I did was give him a little kiss on the cheek," Zatanna scoffed, crossing her arms. "What, are you concerned that it over shadowed the weapon you gave him as gift?"
"No, I'm mad because you kissed my boyfriend!" Sakura shouted as her.
"Excuse me?" Zatanna gasped. "He's not your boyfriend!"
"Yes he is!" Sakura growled. "And you better back off. I don't care if you have feelings for him or not, but he is my boyfriend, so keep your damn distance."
"Etativel reh yawa morf em!" Zatanna commanded. Sakura flew back, slamming into the wall. "You do not get to claim him just because you feel jealous and threatened that I'm here," Zatanna shouted. Sakura growled and took out a few shuriken throwing them at her. They passed by Zatanna, scratching her skin.
"Jealous and threatened? By you? Puh-lease," Sakura muttered, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "I'm just telling you now, stay away from my boyfriend."
"Pirt reh!" Zatanna shouted in anger. Sakura fell forward but easily turned the fall into a small roll, landing perfectly crouched.
"You're going to have to try better than that," Sakura huffed, exiting the room.
Wayne Manor
"So, does Haly get to keep the circus?" Sakura asked as Robin sat down next to her on the couch. Dick smiled and took off his mask and gloves.
"Yeah, Jack gets to keep the circus, I got to perform a few more times, it was amazing," Dick smiled, sliding his boots off. He shifted his position and laid back on the couch, pulling Sakura down with him. "I even got a great gift from Jack."
"What'd he give you?" Sakura asked.
"An old Flying Grayson poster," Dick smiled. "And, I performed again, just as a favor to him."
"That's nice Dick," Sakura smiled, kissing him lightly. "I talk to Zatanna…well…more like yelled."
"You couldn't keep your temper in check, could ya?" Dick teased, combing his fingers through her hair.
"I tried, but she made me so mad. And she kept saying that I was lying when I told her that you were my boyfriend," Sakura sighed. "She accused me of claiming you because I felt threatened and jealous because she was there."
"I'll talk to her tomorrow," Dick assured her. "Set the record straight." Sakura smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling into his chest. "Why don't we spend the night out here and try to catch Santa in the act," Dick chuckled. "I'm sure Alfred and Bruce won't mind."
"Please…we have the goddamn Batman as our Santa, he's not going to be caught even if we stare at the tree all night long," Sakura scoffed playfully.
"Oh come on, I know you have the winter festival instead of Christmas, but can you pretend? I mean, that was my favorite part of my childhood," Dick smiled. "Staying out in the living room, and trying to stay up as late as possible to get a glimpse of Santa. You're twelve, still a kid and not yet a teenager, indulge a little. Give in to the child inside of you."
"Do we get to watch those corny specials about that reindeer with the glowing nose and that talking snowman?" Sakura asked.
"We can watch that new Rise of the Guardians thing if you want," Dick smiled. "It's kinda Christmas-y."
"Alright deal," Sakura smiled, kissing his cheek. "The new Jack Frost is kinda cute."
"Hey! I'm right here!" Dick gasped playfully.
"You'll always be cuter," Sakura giggled, tapping his nose.
"Good," Dick smiled, kissing her. "We'll watch the movies in the morning, it's pretty late." As soon as he said that, Dick let out a small yawn and Sakura giggled, yawning herself.
"Ugh! No Fair! You made me yawn!" Sakura pouted before cuddling into him. "But, I guess I can go to sleep now." Dick smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. He shifted their positions to where she was between him and the back of the couch.
"Goodnight Blossom," Dick smiled.
"Night Birdie," Sakura sighed lightly as she closed her eyes and drifted off into sleep.
