Allergy season did not spare Atlanteans.
Anyway, moving on.
Modern dance moves were something which evaded Connor's understanding. Seriously; say or do the wrong thing, and suddenly out of nowhere someone is 'hitting that whip' or whatever.
Well, at least he knew he wasn't the only one who was baffled.
All it took was Kaldur sneezing into his elbow.
"LOOK, HE'S FINALLY DABBING!" Wally yelled in excitement, smacking Robin's arm so his friend would look.
"No he's not, he's having allergies," Connor pointed out in his usual monotone.
Kaldur sneezed again:
"Ooohhh Ya, HIT IT KALDUR, HIT IT!" Robin encouraged, high fiving Wally, who continued to cheer.
Connor couldn't help but feel as though human customs still eluded him.
…
It was quite normal to see his teammates occasionally in a 'zombie' or 'dead tired' state. Especially the youngest member of the group, who not only did missions with the team, but also patrolled Gotham regularly on top of all other teenage responsibilities. When asked the difference between Robin's patrols with Batman vs the others and their mentors, Wally simply put: "Look man, there's patrols, then there's Gotham patrols…" followed by a shiver.
Alright then.
One of the most interesting things Connor learned from observing others was that decisions made while sleep deprived are not always good decisions. A scenario taken place at around midnight crossed his mind.
"What if I pour coffee in my cereal instead of milk?" Robin had dully pondered after staring at his dry bowl of cinnamon toast crunch for an obscene amount of time.
Taking the coffee pot as he walked by, Wally commented, "What if you don't."
Yeah, definitely the tip of the iceberg.
…
This was a bad idea.
Connor had a feeling Artemis knew this when she suggested it. As things had progressively escalated, he also had a feeling she was enjoying this too much.
"You're a lying, cheating piece of crap! You're not the person I agreed to raise Connor with!" Wally was yelling at his best friend, fuming.
"Fine then!" Robin shouted back, also fuming. "We're getting a divorce!"
After exchanging a look with Kaldur, Connor pushed the Monopoly board away from them.
"Maybe we should stop playing."
Now I have to go write a random one-shot solely because my story count being at '59' is annoying me to death.
