Robin walked from the laundry room to the living room, completely cloaked like a jedi, in a big, blue, fluffy, downy blanket.
Which was just out of the dryer.
That's right, be jealous.
With the team being used to these antics by now, nobody did much more than raise an eyebrow as he passed.
The small acrobat snuggled himself into the couch with the blanket from heaven, being teased by Artemis about looking like an' itty bitty Robin in it's fluffy wuffy nest'. He'd just opened his book when Wally came tearing through the room after ransacking the kitchen; catching sight of his best friend, the speedster wasted no time in launching himself onto the couch.
"Scoot over!" the redhead yelled, yanking all the covers towards himself and promptly flipping Robin onto the floor.
"Get your own blanket out of the dryer! And watch out for my book!" Getting off the floor, Robin settled into the couch again, jerking the blanket towards himself.
Which created an interesting scenario as they both fought for the blanket, eventually getting twisted up and almost falling off the couch.
Walking by again, Artemis look at the pair, with a 'why do I have to put up with this' expression on her face. With both of them tangled with each other and the blanket, she decided to comment by sarcastically requesting, "Would you two mind taking things to a bedroom, people actually eat and whatever out here."
Sticking his head out from under the blanket, a very tousled looking Robin glared at her and snapped, "We're not a couple."
Robin read out the rest of the ingredients for the cookies him, Wally, and M'gann were making. "So all that's left is the flour, baking soda, sugar...oh and honey."
"Yes dear?" Wally replied, laughing at the deathglare thrown his way by the thirteen year old. For the sake of decent conduct with M'gann in the kitchen, Robin didn't throw the cookbook as well.
A few minutes later, Robin was doing the dishes, while Wally licked a bowl clean and M'gann was putting cookie dough on a baking sheet. As the speedster set the bowl in the sink, Robin cupped his hands together under the faucet, causing the water to fill them up then overflow.
Looking at Wally, he said, "I think this water is getting out of hand", then proceeded to fling all the water in his hands at Wally's face.
The best thing Wally could do while sputtering and wiping his face off was to grab a handful of flour to retaliate.
It took 10 minutes for the 'flour fight' to end, in which both teens were covered in white dust. Apparently, fighting with flour was like fighting with nuclear weapons, in the way that nobody came out a winner.
Sighing, Robin told M'gann, "Sorry Miss M, we'll clean this up once we get cleaned up - come on Wally, I need to borrow a shirt.." Him and Wally left the kitchen (the redhead complaining about shirt stealing acrobats), leaving white footprints behind them. Giggling, M'gann replied, "If you wanted to be alone, you just had to ask,"
"M'gaaaaaan!" Robin whined, "You know this already - we're not a couple!"
Baseball had never really been a particular interest to Dick, which is why he'd never bothered to go to a game before - it just wasn't his thing.
Somehow, Wally still managed to drag him along to one; Central City Raiders vs Star City Satellites.
"I still can't believe you don't know the song Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Wally told him in disbelief.
Huffing in irritation, Dick adjusted his baseball cap and replied, "You know I didn't grow up here, Wally. And share the popcorn."
"It's called Crackerjack, and you're not getting any unless you promise to learn the song."
"I don't want to learn the song, so how bout you gimme the Crackerjack or I'll show Artemis your baby pictures."
Wally held the crackerjack way out of reach, causing Dick to have to lean completely over him to try and snatch it.
"Oh...dude." Wally suddenly gasped out, completely forgetting about the crackerjack. Following his line of sight, Dick looked up to see...him, almost on Wally's lap, on the screen, of the kiss cam.
Cursing quite indecently in French, Dick scribbled something onto a piece of paper before holding it up.
On the screen of the kiss cam, he could be seen holding a piece of paper that said, "WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!"
Artemis, M'gann, Kaldur, and Connor were hanging in the living room, watching Robin as he stood on the couch, pulling wires out of the wall. He hadn't explained what he was doing, so all they could do was watch, wait, and hope he didn't blow the power of the the entire cave.
Walking into the room for the first time that day, Wally stood there for about 20 seconds, before leaning against the door frame and asking his best friend, "So is that a knife in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
In the next instant, there was a knife imbedded in the wall, 4 inches from Wally's ear. It happened so fast, it was hard for the rest of the team to even process what they had just seen.
"Ah. A Beretta knife." Wally nonchalantly observed, seemingly not a bit phased as he looked it redhead wore a smirk - how he loved to mess with him, which is why when he saw the knife sticking out of Robin's pocket, it was the perfect opportunity to do so.
Except for exhaling loudly in irritation, Robin, for the most part, ignored Wally.
"Sooo...does this mean you're not happy to see me?"
Artemis snorted as Robin glared at Wally, and then her. "I know, I know," she said, then in what was supposed to be an impression of Robin, she pouted, crossed her arms, and exclaimed in a squeaky voice, "We're not a couple!"
Yes, yes, I know...I LIED!

Nah, I didn't plan on this chapter, but the thing is, you guys really really really really really really really really really wanted me to continue, apparently, so wha-lah! Ta-da! Here you go!
I know it is a short series, but the description did say 'short' series! You were forewarned, lol. I'll be adding probably 2 more chapters - but there's nothing I can do when I run out of ideas!
The thing is, I'm not going to officially 'finish' this ficin the immediate future - I might be able to find enough ideas for maybe 4 more chapters in the next few months! So while I'm doing my next fics, I'll keep this one 'in progress' for whenever I get an idea and want to use it. I think that's what I'll do for the rest of my 'series' fics- not going to officially end them until I'm sure about it. That way I can always add a new chapter when I want to.
So this shoutoutgoes to RedScotch444! Booyah!
See you in the next chapter ===
