Dick stood outside the door, his hand on the knob as he hesitantly lifted it up. Taking a deep breath he opened his locker slightly at Gotham Academy. He purposely showed up late so he wouldn't get unwanted attention, like those rabid hormonal girls that trail him like a fox stalks a rabbit. He couldn't help a blush coming to his face remembering the previous day's events at Mount Justice. He groaned as he finished opening the door, and to his surprise a pile of pink, purple, and blue envelopes formed a pile at his feet. A look of absolute horror covered his features as he quickly looked both ways to make sure no one saw the letters. Nobody was in sight. Dick sighed in relief. Quickly shoving the envelopes in his back pack he grabbed his Calculus book for his next class. Shutting the door as quietly as he could he stalked down the hallway to his classroom, he had 5 minutes to make it to the empty room before the bell rang and all the students exploded into the hall.
Entering the room, he quickly took his seat by the window and looked out over the athletic field. In another building close by he saw a girl staring at him through the other window. Before taking her seat she blew him a kiss and winked, making him turn a shade of pink. Suddenly, footsteps snapped him from his thoughts. He noticed Barbara Gordon standing in the doorway. Her face darker than a tomato. The floor seemed really interesting as she stared at it, before tip-toeing into the room and taking a seat beside him.
"Hey Babs! What's up?" Dick asked his best friend cheerfully. Barbara only tilted her head down and brushed a stray lock of hair back behind her ear while trying to suppress a smile. When she looked up to meet his gaze she blushed even more when she was met with Dick stretching his arms above his head, his muscles bulged from beneath the dress shirt. She squeaked and looked away to hide her
blush again.
"Babs?" Dick asked quizzically looking at the back of her head while letting his arms flop down onto his desk. She stiffened and suddenly turned around, her whole face a cherry red.
"IsawthemagazineDick!" She blurted out. Dick only lifted one eyebrow. He didn't have a clue what she just said. Barbara breathed deeply and exhaled. "I saw the...magazine..." she responded with a squeak as she watched his reaction. Dick's eyes widened before leaning over his desk and dropping his head onto his desk with a groan. "You too!" He moaned.
"Sorry! But I have to say, not bad on the bod!" She replied, her eyes trailed over his body while he wasn't looking. Jumping in his seat, he turned to face her with a flabbergasted expression. "BABS! Seriously?" Her response was cut short when the bell rang. Dick thought he felt his heart stop. This was the moment of truth. "Quick Babs! Hide me!" He said as he covered his face with his math book. "You've got to face them sometime. Might as well just get it over with." She said with an evil smirk.
"I hate you!" Dick hissed at her as people began filing in. Mostly guys at first. He secretly wished that all the girls were sick so they didn't come to school today. Tough luck there Dick. Then he heard it, the sound of giggles in the hallway. He slipped further into his seat to hide himself under his desk. Why me? He thought as the fan girls showed themselves. They stopped in the doorway, he could feel their eyes zeroing in on him. If only he was the Atom, he could just shrink down and run away. The girls giggled as they whispered amongst themselves. Plotting something no doubt, Dick thought as he watched them out of the corner of his eye. Whatever they were planning, it couldn't be good. While he was still the room he was safe. He just needed to find a quick escape.
All throughout the class period the sound of girls giggling and the jealous looks he got from the guys prevented him from concentrating on his work. So much so he getting a headache. Finally working up his courage, he stood up beside his desk.
"Excuse teacher, but can I use the restroom?" He asked as politely as he could without his head exploding. The teacher, who had been writing on the board just stopped and looked at him. "O-Of course Richard!" Nodding, Dick walked across the front of the room towards the door. He felt all the eyes in the room peering into his soul. As soon as he made it out the door, he looked both ways making sure it was clear before charging down the hall towards the only place he knew was safe, at least for now. Running into the boys bathroom he immediately checked if anyone was in there. Nope. Locking himself in a stall he sat there, contemplating a plan of action. He could call Bruce and have him come to the school to take him home. But then Bruce would just tell him to man up and deal with it. That, or give him another 'Talk'. Dick shivered at the thought. His mind was forever burned and he didn't think he could handle another lecture.
Dick stayed in the bathroom for the rest hour. As soon as the bell rang symbolizing lunch time, he ran out and blended in with the crowd. Babs would get his stuff for him, so he speed-walked down the hall hoping no girls caught sight of him, but we all know (me included) that girls' zero in on hot guys like moths to a bug zapper, am I right girls? Continuing down the hall, he noticed an open door. Taking the chance to get off the radar, he ran into the room and closed the door behind him. It should have been empty because he didn't hear a peep in the room, except for the muffled conversations of teens in the hall. Turning around with his eyes closed his released a breath he didn't know he was holding, opening his eyes halfway caused him to stop all breath. Because there in the corner of the room sat his friend and teammate, Artemis with the magazine and a sharpie in her hand. Her face held an evil smirk as though she just figured out a high class secret. Looking up to see Dick in the room, her smirk grew bigger. Dick noticed her eyes trailing up and down his body, making him feel really uncomfortable.
"I have to say, not bad Robin!" she said as she got up from her chair. The sharpie dropped to the floor, but she kept the magazine in her hand as she slowly walked towards him. Dick's eyes widened at her comment, 'Did she just call me..."
"Yes, Robin. I figured out your little secret. It wasn't too hard, especially when I had a sharpie. See!" She held up the magazine showing the front cover of him with a drawn pair of sunglasses. Dick promptly backed away, remembering her comment the other day.
Flashback comment
"I don't know if I can resist glomping him the next time I see him."
End Flashback
Dick responded by backing up more towards the door. He had a choice to make now. Either he be attacked by 500 fan girls, or be attacked by 1 fan girl. Turning swiftly towards the door, he reached for the knob. He'd take the 500 any day if it meant escaping his blonde teammate.
"Oh no you don't!" Artemis barked as she dropped the magazine a charged at the boy. Grabbing his unoccupied wrist she dragged him away from the door and pushed him up against the wall. She took hold of his other wrist and pinned his hands against the wall on either side of his head. His eyes almost popped out of his head at the proximity they shared. Artemis's breath tickled his chin as she leaned in closer and closer. His breathing quickened until he felt her lips brush his gently, causing him to hitch his breath with a rising blush. Artemis enjoyed teasing the boy, she basked in his panic. Yet...she had an opportunity here, biting her lip she watched the boy somewhat relax as she backed her face away from his mulling the idea over in her head.
Dick released his breath and was about to speak until he felt her hands tighten around his wrists as she quickly dragged them up the wall until they rested about a foot above his head. 'Oh crap!' He thought as her face promptly flew back towards his, causing him to squeak when the force of her kiss pushed the back of his head uncomfortably against the wall. That's gonna to bruise. Her eyes remained closed, while his were popping out again. That is until his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he passed out. His body went limp in her arms causing her to lose her grip on him and they both ended up tumbling sideways to the floor, her body on top of his. She was tempted to stay like that, but was stopped by the bell, signaling the end of lunch.
"Well, time for class!" She mumbled to herself. "I will see YOU later!" She patted his cheek before getting up and straightening her clothes. She was in the process of redoing her lipstick when the door knob turned. She quickly ran to pick up her sharpie and the magazine before head towards the door. His secret was safe with her.
The door opened to reveal Barbara. "Oh hi Artemis! Have you seen Dick? I didn't see him at lunch, and I wanted to make sure he was alright." She asked as the blonde who just reached the door. Artemis nodded her head towards the unconscious body of their friend laying awkwardly on the floor. "He's all yours!" Artemis laughed as she pushed her way out the door and down the hall. Barbara's gaze followed the blonde for a few seconds, before finding Dick again. 'What does she mean "He's all yours"?'
Closing the door behind her, Barbara stepped into the room and walked to her friend. She couldn't help but laugh when she noticed lipstick smeared on his lips. Kneeling down, she pulled out a kerchief and whipped the makeup off. Then she re-situated his body so he wouldn't wake up with cramped muscles. His head was now laying on her lap as he trailed her fingers as much as she could with his gelled hair. Her eyes trailed over his face and a blush rose to her cheeks. Making sure no one could see, she slowly leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips. That was her first kiss and she wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
