A/N: A friend of mine gave me the idea for this fic, but I'm not entirely sure if she came up with it... so if you happen to be the person who made a story similar to this originally, please accept my apologies and kindly contact me so that I may give proper credit where it is due. Also, keep in mind that Imitation is most sincere form of flattery. This was sort of an experiment and challenge, where there would be no canon support, no narration, just dialogue. Probably my first non-angst fic ever. I had a little problem with the format, since I still don't know how QuickEdit works... so the words in italics are sounds. As of always, a one-shot from me. Special thanks to those at the FB forums who commented on this drabble of sorts. especially to Temptress.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters... even the idea, honestly

"Rae?"

"What... ?"

"I just wanted to say than-"

"You don't have to say anything, Robin... it was my duty. Nothing more, nothing less."

"But still, you went out of your way for me. It was more than most would've done."

"True. But it's not as if you wouldn't do the same for me... and you already have, if memory serves me correctly."

"But still-"

"No buts. However, I've always wanted to ask you why you did that... those things, those overtures... thay disconcert me."

"I don't know... I just like doing stuff for you, that's all."

"I don't believe that, Dick. I know you. Caring you may be, but illogical and impractical, you are not. Now tell me honestly, why do you bother? It's not like we could ever pursue something more that our present relationship."

"Hmm... but like you said, you know me. More so than anybody else. Isn't that a point for moving for something more? I know you too, Rae- unless you've forgotten that I've been in you're mind as you've been in mine."

"I just don't want any more trouble... now that I've finally started to gain some semblence of control over my powers, and with Starfire still madly in love with you. I just can't see a future for us toge- "

"-hey, are you even listening to me anymore, boy blunder?"

"Sure."

munch

"Yeah right. What's that you're chewing? You know how I detest people chewing gum in fro-"

"Have I ever told you that you remind me of a walnut, Rae?"

"Why? Because of the thick, ugly shell? Very funny, Robin."

munch

"Because it's really hard to break open?"

munch

"Because even after all the effort, you realize that insides are not better than the outside? Just as bitter?"

munch

"Because it starts tasting a bit better if you roast it a little? What?"

munch

"Okay. Why, then? Why do I remind you of walnuts?"

munch

"Everything you said was true. But I had another reason in mind-"

"What?"

"I love walnuts."
