1: Colors

There was one thing the Titans knew about their leader. He hated the color blue. They didn't know why, and whenever they ask, the boy wonder would have a faraway look and change the subject, or in Beast Boy's case, get a glare until you drop it.

Starfire for one was baffled. During her stay on Earth, the color blue had become one of her favorite colors, and the meaning behind made her wonder who would ever despise the color. It brought a warm feeling of embrace whenever she flew in the blue sky or swam at the blue ocean. The color blue was something her planet rarely had.

Raven, however, knew of Robin's only reason. But she never wanted anything, but whenever the wonder boy was asked that question, she would shoot him a small glance of sympathy. Robin's emotions were overwhelming. Much stronger than whenever he's at the gym or obsessing all over the Evidence room. It was enough to make her wince at the jumble of emotions that radiated around him.

Cyborg, at first, was offended and hurt, but he felt better knowing that the boy wonder had nothing against his robotic parts. Yet it didn't stop him and Beast Boy from teasing him. They found Robin's dislike for the color blue hilarious. At least it was funny until Robin put them on cleaning duty, locked away the game console, and forced them to train three hours before breakfast for nearly two months. They never teased him about it again.

Robin hated the color blue. No one knew why and didn't push for information either. They just knew that he hated the color blue.

Oh, and he hated the color yellow too.

But they didn't know why either.

The boy wonder looked at his reflection in the mirror. It seemed almost too cruel and torturous to see what was behind the mask.

His mask was in his firm grip as Robin stared at his horrid eyes. Once, he wielded such gorgeous blue orbs, something he had inherited from his late mother. But now they were ugly.

Back then, anytime someone saw his blue orbs, they would comment on them. They reminded them of the sea, the sky, their blue car, anything as bright as his shade of blue.

Batman said that his eyes represented his freedom. His desire to soar up into the sky. It trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. ... In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity. But Bruce, the man who raised and loved him like his son, always commented on them and claimed that blue meant the world to him. "I would always look at your eyes because the sky is nothing compared to the shade of blue of your eyes." Alfred, while he didn't say anything, agreed.

Once in his lifetime, he was proud of his eyes; now, they were a reminder. A reminder of who he was in the past. Now he bared the eyes of his former self. He was nothing but an empty shell of the one who wielded those gorgeous blue orbs with glory.

He was what remains of Richard "Dick" John Grayson

And Robin hated the shades of blue and sickly yellow.

He hated the lifeless, sickening yellow with a fraction mix of a dull blue. Yet he could do nothing as the mix of colors was now a part of his life.

It was a curse to see the color of his eyes.

2: Nocturnal

It was a habit he picked up from his mentor. To beat up Gotham Baddies in the middle of the night, and it became useful when he moved to Jump when a baddie decides to cause problems in the middle of the night. His friends were anything but pleased to see him slack off on his sleeping schedule or work to the bone until he finally falls asleep in the evidence room and has to drag him to his room.

But he always shrugs it up on their disapproving faces. After all, Coffee does its wonders.

3: Secret

Robin had a secret that none of the Titans knew about. He knew who Red- X was. He had been suspicious when they first fought but remained quiet as he didn't want to get his hopes up or alarm his friends. But multiple encounters, it was the final nail to the coffin.

Currently, both boys were spending their days on the beach alone. Well, there were other people around, but no one bats an eye at two boys at the beach. There was no malice or duty between the two. Masks were removed; neither wore their uniforms either. Both sunbathe with only shorts,

As an ego boost for both of the boys, some girls were wanting to chat with them or wanting them to play volleyball. They played in the salty water with them and splashed around. Some girls tried to give their phone numbers, which the eldest refused while the youngest took them with glee. In the end, the boys soaked up the attention and had the pleasure of flirting with a few of them.

"You know that your girlfriend is going to kill you if she finds out this." Snorts Red-Jason as he carefully puts away a few pieces of paper with phone numbers on them on his wallet.

Richard laid down on his towel again and waved lazily at him, "Eh, what she doesn't know won't kill her. Besides, it's not like I asked them for dates or their phone numbers like some people." He eyed him knowingly, "After all, Star is the only girl for me."

"No, Starfire is the only girl for Robin," the boy wonder. Everyone knows that." He snickers at the scowl his brother shot at him. "You Richard Grayson, however, are very much single according to your social media double lives are a bitch, huh Dickiebird?"

"Shut up," Muttered Richard. "And language."

4: Playboy

Robin will never admit it to his teammates, but he had a guilty pleasure of seducing women into a puddle of goo. Or rather that was Richard. Robin is always awkward with women, but Richard "Dick" Grayson was successful with women.

Richard's playboy persona sometimes would just come out of Robin on unexpected moments. And he knowingly uses it over the girls who seem to be drooling over him. While he loved Starfire and none of the other girls meant anything to him, it was both funny and exaggerating to see how the opposite would throw themselves at his feet. But mostly funny.

"ROBIN?!"

Or at least it was funny until Starfire's screech rang in his ears that caused him and the girl to stiffen.

Oh boy.

By the time the girl was chased off by an angry Starfire, the Titans knew of his playboy persona and had different reactions. Raven was gaping, having not expected for their stern leader to have such behavior. Cyborg and Beast Boy were equally stunned but awed and often begged their leader for tips or ideas into wooing girls. Starfire, however, was not pleased and gave Robin the silent treatment for the entire day.

Robin had to plead and repeatedly apologize for forgiveness. In the end, Starfire spoke to him again after he buys her multiple flavors of Mustard. He'll have to be more careful with what he says and acts next time he confronts a girl.

But… It wouldn't hurt but to rile her a bit, right?

5: Love

Robin held many opinions growing up when it came to love. The love of his parents created him and raised him. The love Bruce and Alfred gave him hope. The love of his mentor gave him strength. The love of his friends gave him purpose. The love of his girlfriend, Starfire, gave him a joy like no other.

His enemies always claimed that love was a weakness. But he disagreed, for it was love that made him stronger.

6: Addiction

Raven walked in the evidence room and raised an eyebrow at the number of empty cups. She looked at the sole person in the room and shook her head when he took a sip of Coffee.

The female Titan wasn't sure when was the last time the boy wonder had a decent good night's sleep. But with his constant caffeine consumption, it was clear it wasn't recent. Well then, if he wasn't going to bed on his own, she might as well drag him there herself.

Whether he likes it or not, he was going to bed and take a nap. It was not optional.

7: Brothers

"You eat like a pig."

Richard grinned at Wally, who was pouting as he ate his poutine. Roy was smirking as the three of them were walking around the streets of Toronto, Canada. It felt good to spend some time with his brothers. Just the three of them and no one else. No Titans, no girlfriends, and no criminals. It had been so long since they last hung out, and both red-heads agreed.

None of the Titans know about this, and as far as they are concerned, he is on patrol in Jump city. He isn't worried, though. They could just call using their communicators, and all he has to do is slap on his mask and use their speedster transporter to reach Jump in seconds.

"So… How's your girlfriend doing?"

Wally glared at him as he threw away his trash at a nearby trash can. "Hey! Hands off! She's mine. Besides, don't you have your own girl to worry about?"

Robin raised his hands in defense, "Hey, all I asked was how she was doing. I have no intention of flirting with her, especially since my girl gave me the silent treatment!"

Roy snickered.

"Whatever, Rob. Sooo... Anyone up for a trip to Las Vegas?" Roy and Richard mock raised their arms, and the three burst out laughing.

The trio took a turn, and there was a small group of beautiful girls. Usually, they would've ignored them, but to their dread, it just so happens that they were right next to where they hid their belongings. They couldn't go there without arousing suspicion. But two of the three boys weren't worried as they had the perfect distraction.

Wally turned to the youngest, "Well, Dick, do your magic."

Richard gave him a look behind his sunglasses, "And have Starfire skin me alive? No, thanks."

"She will never kill you though," Wally cheerfully states, "Jinxy said that Starfire told her that if she ever caught you "doing the flirting", she would remind you who you belong to. Besides, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?"

Richard coughs in his fist as his cheeks flared, and Roy snorted amused. "Basically, you're saying she'll kill him one way or another."

Robin looked at the group of girls before looking at his friends. "Fine, but if any of you guys say one peep to Starfire, I will kill you." He paused and then looked thoughtful as he scratched his chin, "Actually, you know what, that doesn't sound too bad. Nevertheless, you breathe a word of this, and you die."

8: Alcohol

"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Muttered Robin dressed up as a civilian as he followed Red-X, also disguised as a civilian, on the shadier parts of Jump in the late evening. He wore a simple black long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a gold chain on his neck. His eyes, as usual, hidden behind his sunglasses. He snuck out of the Tower when his friends were distracted, and he was confident they wouldn't know he was gone until morning.

Jason, who wore a wooly hat and a leather jacket with jeans and had a lit cigarette on his fingers, snorted, "Live up a little. There's nothing wrong with having a beer."

"I'm underage, and so are you." He deadpanned.

The younger shrugged as he dropped and stomped on the cigarette butt, "Like you're the one talking. I heard from a little birdie that you and your red-head buddies snuck out from your group of friends in secret and went to get wasted."

Richard choked, "W-where- You know what? I'm not going to ask a question I already know the answer to." He sighed

Jason smirked, "Son of Bats bitch. Now lead the way, brother dearest."

After making sure they, or at least in Richard's case, weren't being followed, they made their way to an old, rundown looking bar. There weren't many people. No one paid attention to the two boys as they walked to the bar and sat down.

"Well, if it ain't Dickie," the Barman wheezed cheerfully with a gruff voice, "no red-heads this time, eh?"

Richard gave the man a snarky smile, "Nope, had other things to work on. So I brought my little brother with me."

The Barman raised an eyebrow at the younger teen, who smiled innocently. "How old is he?" He grunted.

"Does it even matter?" Snorted Richard, "You know I'm not of age, what difference does it make?"

The Barman shrugged and left for a moment. When he came back, he gave both boys two pints, which Richard paid for.

"Enjoy lads." He left.

Richard and Jason grabbed their drinks and clinked them before drowning on the booze.

9: Drunk

By the time morning came, and the Titans were eating breakfast, they noticed that their leader has yet to join them.

"Should I check on, Robin?" asked Starfire with concern in her eyes.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes as he ate his soymilk pancakes, glaring at Cyborgs breakfast with disgust. "I'm sure he's fine, Star."

"Yeah, the guy must've stayed up late again." Said Cyborg as he happily ate his bacon and sausages with eggs and milk.

Raven merely rolled her eyes as she continued to read her book as she sipped her tea.

Before Starfire could protest, the front doors open and the Titans hastily turned their necks and were met with a surprise.

A random teen waltz in, stumbling in while mumbling and hiccuping words. None of the Titans recognized him and were questioning how a stranger got inside the Tower. However, Starfire gasped, having recognized him.

"Robin..?" Asked Starfire hesitantly.

The rest of the Titans looked at Starfire with eyes wide before turning to the young teen. Their jaws dropped upon finally recognizing him. Beast Boy and Cyborg looked at each other before bursting out laughing. Raven looked annoyed and left to mediate the upcoming headache. Starfire looked confused at the way her boyfriend was acting.

"Dude!" Laughed Beast Boy, "Are you drunk?"

Robin gave a lazy drunk smile, "Meee….*hic* Naaaaaah maaaaaan….." He hiccuped. "Anyone *hic* seen Jaybird *hic*."

"Who is this 'Jaybird'?" Asked Starfire with a tilt of her head, though her eyes were narrowed.

She jumped, however, when Robin's arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Oh, you sexy gal!" He gasped, making the boys to laugh even louder, "I haven't met any *hic* beauties like yourself *hic* in the bar. Why forget about that son of *hic* a bitch who ditched me and *hic* how about we have some fun! *hic*"

Ignoring her protests, Robin dragged Starfire to an empty room, most likely his, with the boys dying with laughter in the kitchen. This was so rich. To think that their typically, rule strict, stoic leader actually broke the rules and went out and get drunk of all things! To make this golden, their leader actually hit on Starfire in front of them and dragged her for some "alone time".

They were never going to live this down.

10: Hangover

By the time Robin woke up from his nap, he had a major, irritable headache, and he reeked of alcohol and puke. He took a shower and got rid of the smell, and felt fresh. But unfortunately, his head still felt as though an anvil fell on it, and his eyes hurt by looking at the light.

To make this matters worse, Starfire refused to talk to him for whatever reason. Beast Boy and Cyborg were teasing him, making fun of him as they pretended they were him, drunk out of his ass. And Raven… Well, she was locked up in her room.

He wasn't going to deal with this until his headache was gone. So he was going to lay down and sleep and take some ibuprofen.
