A/N: The next few shorts will focus directly on descriptions of Danny's relationship with each of the Titans with a short interactive snippet, and they will be named accordingly.

First up: Robin and Danny


Practically Brothers

There were very few people that Robin ever allowed for them to see his eyes, or know his true identity. It was true eyes were window's to the soul, and he couldn't afford for many to see his. That's why the only people who ever saw him for who he really was was his team, particularly Danny.

After joining the Titans it was clear to Robin that Danny was a natural born leader. It was also clear to the team even though Robin was competitive by nature he readily allowed Danny to lead by his side. Robin of course ultimately made all of the executive decisions but Danny seemed to be the only person on the team that was able to get through to Robin when his decisions were compulsive, and for that Robin was grateful.

To Danny, Robin was his best friend. When Robin was overwhelmed Danny was the one he sparred with. When Danny needed to rant, Robin was always there to listen. Danny was never afraid to be blunt when Robin needed to step up as a leader and Robin was quick to hold Danny back when he tended to act out in anger.

Although their backgrounds were very different there was no doubt how similar the two were. Their profiles were the same and many commented on how they could pass for brothers. The two would turn to each other and smile, then Danny would smirk and tell them that Robin wasn't good-looking enough to be his brother. Robin would usually roll his eyes in return and if you really looked for it you could see the slight smile on his face.

Danny was the only person Robin ever voluntarily told his past to. Raven knew but only because she went into his mind. They talked and listened to each other for hours on the roof of the tower during early hours of the morning. It was the anniversary of his parent's death, and Danny was quick to see that something was wrong. They spent their time retelling some of their favorite memories of their families. After that they continued to be very close.

With that being said, it would be no doubt that Danny threw himself in harm's way to take a stray ecto-blast for Robin. It was too late to throw up a shield and Robin realized it a moment too late, fortunately Danny was there in an instant. Shortly after Robin was immediately at his side cursing when Danny changed into Fenton,

"Danny are you okay?" Robin helped him sit up as he came to, head spinning and coughing he managed to give his leader a wry grin,

"You so...owe me." He coughed through ragged breaths and Robin shook his head disbelieving,

"Come on, the fight's still going on. You need to get back to the tower." He started to help Danny up but he shook him off,

"I'm fine...jussst...give me a sec..ond." His words began to slur together and Robin felt him begin to fall. He cursed again knowing he couldn't leave him. It was just Skulker, he knew the rest of his team could handle him.

"Team, Danny's down. I'm taking him to the tower. Raven, Cyborg, meet me in the medical room immediately when you're finished." He clipped through his communicator not waiting for a reply. He knew they were fighting and they wouldn't.

"I can...still..fight." He tried to protest but Robin knew he was in no shape to fight. He grabbed Danny under his arms and heaved him up,

"No doubt you have a concussion, and I won't allow you to fight. That's an order." He gave no room for protest as Danny's brows furrowed and with sluggish movements he began to walk along with Robin's help to his R-Cycle.

"Skulker...is an...asshole." Robin gave a curt laugh and nodded in agreement as he helped Danny get on the motorcycle. He then got on behind him to make sure he wouldn't fall back off.

"Yes he is, and you shouldn't have taken that hit." He replied making Danny scoff, or he tried to before wincing because the sudden movement sent his head spinning. He focused on stringing his next words together to tell Robin off,

"You're dumb...I'm more cap...able...of taking...the hit, and there's..no way..I'd let you..get hit..instead." He managed to say before Robin pulled out into the street, careful to avoid debris that littered the ground from the ongoing battle.

"Hang on" Robin yelled over the roar of the motorcycle and Danny focused on keeping his hands on the handle while staying awake. Later looking back Robin would chuckle at how they must have looked, especially with him nearly dragging him back into the tower. After getting him into the tower Robin confirmed he indeed had a concussion. Shortly after Robin allowed him to go to sleep and he helped him to his room and into his bed.

Throughout the night Robin stayed awake in his room and woke him up every few hours to make sure he didn't slip into a coma, and every time Danny would protest although Robin was persistent if only to ensure Danny's safety. Danny argued that he was a half-ghost and had the ability to heal at a faster rate than a normal human. Robin simply shrugged, and was content to carry on a conversation each time he woke up. In truth Danny knew Robin was worried and that was the only reason he put up with being woke up.

"You don't have to stay here anymore." Danny finally said when the sun began to peak through the closed blinds.

"I know." Robin replied and didn't move from his position. Danny shrugged and threw a pillow at him which Robin easily caught by reflex.

"Gotta few more hours, might as well sleep then." He grinned when Robin hesitated then finally gave into the demand for sleep and threw himself across Danny's bed. They lay there for a minute before either of them spoke.

"Thanks Danny." Robin looked through his own eyes, having removed his mask. Danny smiled,

"No thanks needed, after everything you've done for me." He replied making Robin smile in return. Soon after they both drifted off to sleep, and hours later when everyone else was awake Robin and Danny were still knocked out cold. For once, no one bothered to wake them up. And later if Robin was quick to give Danny his medicine when he complained of a headache, no one mentioned a thing.


A/N: It's 3:00 in the morning here and it took me 5 times to spell the word persistent right. I also woke my mom up accidentally hitting print while trying to save the document to my desktop.

Next up Danny and Beast Boy.
