Guys...I can't.
I can't! I just...I freaked out.
Jaime just knocked Bart out and...if you see the gif, you can see the pain in Bart's face and the smirk on Jaime's face and it's too much!
So...to make myself feel better, I wrote two happy one shots! You get two in one today!
REVIEW?!
And tell me your reactions to today's episode.
Both of these pictures were found on Tumblr. one of Bart and Jaime dancing, and the other of Bart drawing Jaime.
REVIEW!
If you guys want me to write something for you, I'm taking requests. especially if it's something cute or happy.
It's not something Bart tell people. It's something he's always kept to himself, and hasn't ever really thought about sharing.
But...it's different with Jaime. With him, Bart feels like he can show and boast about his secret. He feels like Jaime's actually proud of him and this makes him happy.
"What are you doing?" Jaime asks as he shuffles around his room.
"Sketching." Bart states and glances up at his boyfriend as he peels off his pajama shirt.
"Sketching what, exactly?" Jaime asks, his attention mostly on his dresser as he pulls out a black muscle shirt from one of his drawers.
"Just...stuff." Bart mutters back as his hand moves easily over the sketch pad Jaime had gotten for him a few days prior.
"Hm...hey Bart, blue or green?" Jaime asks and holds up the two T-shirts.
"Blue...definitely blue." Bart states with a small smile.
"Thanks." Jaime pulls on the shirt before grabbing his hoodie from the bed.
"Hey...turn this way, for a sec?" Bart mumbles just as Jaime starts pulling the jacket on.
"Why?" Jaime asks with a raised eyebrow before complying.
"I like the way the sun is hitting you." Bart mumbles before his hand flies over the pad.
"You should really take your time with that stuff." Jaime chuckles once he's allowed to move.
"I had to capture the moment." Bart smiles up at Jaime and sighs contently when his boyfriend leans down to peck him gently.
"Love you."
Bart will never get used to those words coming out of Jaime's mouth.
"Love you too."
But...maybe it's best that he doesn't.
"I have to get to the bus stop." Jaime sighs and moves to grab his back pack from his desk.
"Can I come?" Bart asks with an eager smile.
"I'm meeting up with some friends on the way there. Is that okay?" Jaime asks, knowing well that his boyfriend was still stiff around his other friends.
"Sure..." Bart smiles slightly before returning to the drawing in front of him.
"Bart?" Jaime mumbles before sitting at the edge of the bed and pulling on his shoes.
"Hm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"If it's about the future, I've already answered all your questions." Bart states and looks up at Jaime with a small smile.
"Not all of them." Jaime mumbles to himself as he crawls over to sit beside Bart.
"What do you want to know?"
"Is there...anything bright? Anything?"
"We get some sunlight here and there-"
"No...I mean is there any happiness?"
"...It depends."
"What do you mean?" Jaime asks sadly.
"I was kept hidden away from the real world for nine years. My dad knew that if I were to go out...I'd be collared and put to work. I'm a Meta, that's what happens to us. So...I grew up and I learned and I loved. But then...we were found. My parents were taken away and I was put to work...just like my dad thought."
"Bart-"
"It's fine Jaime. To answer your question, yes. There's happiness to a certain extent. But that happiness is destroyed...always."
"Bart-"
"I said it was fine Jaime."
"Angel, please-"
"Come on, you have to get to the bus." Bart stands in a flash and smiles down at his boyfriend.
Except...it isn't a real smile. It's the smile he gives to the team and to his family. It's a façade.
"Bart..." Jaime sighs and stands up as well.
"Jaime, seriously."
"I love you." Jaime sighs and pulls the redhead into a gentle kiss.
"I love you too. Now come on, you have school." Bart sighs and kisses him back.
"School can wait."
It doesn't take long for them to get caught up...
And that's good. Because they both need a distraction.
One Shot 2:
It was a simple mission. Just Jaime. Bart, Roy, Tim, and Conner going on an undercover mission at a ball in Gotham. No big deal...yeah right.
Jaime's a nervous mess. Why? He isn't so sure...but he does know that he's shaking from the nerves.
"Jaime?" Conner knocks twice before opening the door.
"I'm almost ready." the Mexican hero mumbles as his shaking hands try to fix his tie.
"You look nervous." the clone states as he walks in.
"What gave me away?" Jaime asks.
"Here, let me help." Conner sighs and steps forward.
"Thanks." Jaime mutters at the older male works the tie.
"You need to calm down. It's just a one night trip. We stay, we watch, we leave." Conner states as he tightens the blue tie.
"I know..." Jaime sighs and turns to look at himself in the mirror that hangs from the bedroom door.
"Good. Are you ready?"
Before Jaime can answer, there's a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Jaime calls and steps back.
"Hey, are you guys ready?" Tim asks as he walks in.
"Yeah...whoa." Conner mumbles softly when Tim pulls someone in behind him.
"This thing is so uncomfortable!" Bart growls as he pulls at the bow tie around his neck.
"Don't pull it!" Tim snaps.
"Bart?" Jaime asks in total shock.
His boyfriend was standing there, perfectly groomed in a suit that hugged him in all the right ways.
"Hey." Bart mumbles, his eyes trained on the floor.
The speedster's hair has been trimmed and combed to perfection...freeing his face so that everyone can see his freckles and pure green eyes.
"Are you ready yet?" Roy demands as he walks in.
"Yeah, let's go." Tim states before grabbing Conner's hand and dragging him away.
.. ...
"What are we looking for exactly?" Bart asks as he and Jaime wander the garden behind the mansion where the ball was taking place.
"Not sure; Conner didn't exactly give any direction."
"He was too busy making goo eyes at his boyfriend." Bart chuckles.
" I still can't believe he and Tim got together." Jaime sighs and reaches over to take Bart's hand in his own.
"Why not?" Bart asks with a chuckle, as if hiding something.
"Because they're so different!"
"How?"
"Well...I mean they're...their age!"
"Conner will never age. Tim is fourteen."
"Conner's five."
"He's physically sixteen."
"Whatever." Jaime mumbles, giving up on his argument.
"This place is so pretty." Bart whispers as they come to the rose bushes.
"Roses." Jaime states before reaching to one of the tall hedges and pulling out a white rose bud.
"They're so soft." Bart mumbles as Jaime hands the flower over with a smile.
"They're supposed to be, Angel."
Jaime watches as his boyfriend sniffs the flower and smiles happily before leaning down to peck the speedster gently.
"You know, my mom used to tell me stories about princes and princesses. this reminds me a lot of them." Bart sighs.
"Why?" Jaime asks as he pulls the other close.
"This is perfect...almost too perfect."
"Nothing is too perfect for you, Angel."
"Do you hear that?" Bart asks softly with a smile.
"Hmm?"
"The music."
Jaime listens for a second and smiles when he hears the soft lull of a tune.
"I hear." Jaime confirms and chuckles when Bart wraps his arms around his neck and begins to sway gently.
"You look nice." Bart sighs happily when Jaime pulls him close and sways as well.
"Did I not look nice yesterday?" Jaime asks with a chuckle.
" You know what I mean." Bart rolls his eyes and lets his hands trail over the crisp blazer Jaime's wearing.
"You look nice too." Bart blushes at the compliment and smiles wider when Jaime's hands straighten his red bowtie.
They sway for who knows how long and speak until they have nothing else to say.
"I love you." Bart mumbles, his head now resting on Jaime's shoulder.
"I love you more." Jaime sighs and hugs the other boy closer.
"Guys!" Jaime and Bart jump apart when Roy's voice rips through their peaceful heaven. "Let's go!" their newest team member shouts before stomping off.
"Come on." Jaime sighs and pulls Bart towards the others.
... ...
It's only when they're back in their room that Bart shows Jaime more attention.
"You look nice in blue." Bart mumbles as he watches Jaime un-do his tie.
"Thank you." Jaime smiles as peels off the blazer along with the unbuttons white shirt.
Bart can't help but stare at the scarab on his boyfriend's back.
Jaime Reyes, The Impulse is starring.
"What?" Jaime asks Bart through the mirror as he unzips his slacks.
"Nothing." Bart whispers before standing and walking over slowly.
"Okay?" Jaime asks curiously before pulling the pants off and tossing them to a corner, laving him in only black briefs.
"I love you." Bart whispers into his ear and meets his gaze through the mirror.
"I love you too." Jaime smiles when Bart wraps his arms around the older boy's waist tightly.
"Good." Bart sighs and leans forward to peck the scarab gently.
"Whoa..." Jaime gasps when he feels a wave of intense pleasure hit him without warning.
"You okay?" Bart whispers against the scarab.
Jaime Reyes, take action.
"Bart, what are you doing?" Jaime asks breathily.
"nothing." Bart whispers and kisses his way up to the older boy's shoulder.
"Bart..." Jaime sighs, not sure if he wants to stop...or continue.
"Hmm?" Bart asks and slowly pulls them back towards their bed.
"You're insane." Jaime whispers before turning around and catching Bart's lips between his own. "The scarab is screaming at me to attack you."
"In what way?" Bart asks with a small smile.
"Not in the bad way." Jaime chuckles.
Across the hall, Conner smiles slightly at the sound of his team mates chuckling.
"What?" Tim asks softly as he walks out of Conner's bathroom in a pair of sweat pants and one of Conner's original Superboy T-shirts.
"Jaime and Bart." Conner mumbles and shifts so that Tim can crawl into his arms.
"Hmm...I'm tired." Tim smiles slightly and snuggles into Conner's side with a yawn.
"Sleep."
Conner stays up and listens to the sound of Jaime teasing Bart lovingly along with the sound of Bart laughing...actually laughing.
