How did he end up here? It was his 14th birthday party. He didn't even want one to begin with, but Bruce had insisted, something about keeping up with the billionaire's ward appearance.
It was supposed to be a simple party. Bored Games, pizza, cake, presents then everyone goes home.
But of course, as the party died down Wally just had to suggest they play 7 minutes in heaven.
So here Dick was sitting in a circle with the 9 remaining party guests.
"Alright Red, you, Artemis and Birthday boy are the only ones who haven't had a turn. Let's see who your lucky winner will be" Wally teased as Barbara placed her hand on the bottle
Barbara rolled her eyes and gave the bottle a quick flick of the wrist. Everyone watched the bottle as it spun around and around, slowing down till it finally came to a complete stop
Wally let out a chuckle "It's pointing right at him"
She looked up to meet her best friend's bright blue eyes
Dick stood up and glared down at Wally "I'm 14, not 9" he grumbled
Wally smirked at him in response
Dick walked toward her sticking out his hand "Ready for what comes next?" He grinned raising an eyebrow
She smiled and took his hand, he leads her into the closet shutting the door
They sat there in silence for a little bit, something that was uncommon between them.
"Only 4 minutes left" Wally spoke from the other side of the door
Barbara looked up at Dick "We don't have to do anything Babs "he said softly
Barbara looked at him and smiled
He was such a good friend, always taking care of her and others. She thought back to last month when all the adults disappeared, how he had found her at the school gym where all the youth of Gotham were taking shelter. He was holding 2 toddlers in his arms, hugging them close to his body. He told her she needed to help the other older girls take care of the kids before handing the babies to her and disappearing for the next few hours, only to return the next morning with no explanation of where he went.
Never the less he was one of the sweetest people she knew, and she had overheard Bette talking to Artemis tonight about him being a 'major dork' and how she only came to his party for the fancy party favors.
That's why in that moment she lunged forward placing her lips on his, based on his initial reaction she had surprised him. So, Barbara did what any young blooded female would do. She placed her hand on the back of his head and pushed him to her, kissing him harder.
That's when she felt his hands place themselves on her waist and gently kiss her back
When they pulled apart Dick rested his forehead against hers "Wow...just wow. And umm why?" He asked shyly
Barbara smiled and bit her lip "Dick, why do you think?" She was able to say before the closest doors opened
"Times up!" Wally smiled, watching the two teens jump apart
A while later everyone had left but Barbara who was waiting for her dad to get a break, so he could come pick her up.
She and Dick sat at the barstools of the Manor kitchen eating leftover pizza. Of course, Alfred had made it instead of buying it. And since it was made by Alfred it tasted better than any pizza restaurant
Dick watched Barbara for a moment as she finished her bite of pizza "So earlier, in the closet. When you said, "What do you think." What exactly did you mean?" Dick asked nervously
She shot him a soft smile "Dick, I still like you as a friend"
He let out a breath "Oh thank God, nothing against you. I mean the kiss was really good. Your just my best friend, I wouldn't want to risk messing it up"
Barbara nodded "I feel the same way, which is why that kiss can mean whatever you want it to mean"
They heard her dad's car horn honk from outside. Barbara stood up "Happy Birthday Dick, see you Monday" she pecked his cheek before leaving. Dick slowly placed his hand on his cheek, where her lips had just been.
Dick felt his phone vibrate and looked down at it
Your welcome It was from Wally
Dick furrowed his eyebrows as he texted back. For what?
A second later there was a reply, For landing you, your first kiss
Dick rolled his eyes It doesn't count, it was with Barbara she's one of my best friends. I've known her since I moved in with Bruce
Your point? She's a major babe. Just a friend or not it had to have felt good to kiss her
Dick sighed, there was no way he was going to respond to that, Especially to Wally and through text
Goodnight Wally, see you at the cave tomorrow
