effects & warnings: none & teenage romance.
note: Rob is voiced by the singer, but if you point out any similarities, he won't believe you :P
Robin and Starfire’s apartment seemed to have reverted back to its default state. No property damage, just a group of teenage superheroes being teenagers, and playing Spin the Bottle.
Zatanna’s turn came up, and while Robin had been hopeful before, there was a now an added pit of dread to his stomach. While the girls hadn’t had any problem just kissing each other on the cheek and moving along, when Robin’s spin landed on Kaldur… maybe it was different for girls who’d known each other six months tops, but for guys who’d known each other for years, who’d worked together and trained together, it was awkward and not fit for repetition.
So he was cautiously not getting his hopes up, was very carefully not thinking about the results of any possible spin. Only disappointment lay in that direction, and—
Zatanna was looking at him, and when he looked down to confirm his suspicions—the bottle. Was definitely pointing at him. Her cheeks looked a little rosy, but it only highlighted her prettiness. On the other hand, Robin could feel his face actually burning. This was a problem, because the Boy Wonder, paragon of confidence and witty repartee, did not blush. Certainly not out of embarrassment, and certainly not because the girl he’d been blatantly crushing on since they first met now had an excuse to kiss him.
Still. Confidence and witty repartee.
“Can you take all my spins for the rest of the game?”
She didn’t miss a beat. “So you want me to kiss you for the rest of the game?”
Oh, man. This girl was going to be the end of him. And here he used to wonder why Batman always insisted on making sure Talia escaped. He looked away and laughed to cover up the fact that yeah, she was kind of winning the battle of wits here, but as Robin was beginning to doubt his wits were even about him…
“Only if I can take it as a good sign you’re suggesting it.”
It was okay if heart actually broke his chest open, right?
“I think we can both take it as a good sign.”
That was kind of his favorite thing about her, and his favorite thing about most of his close friends. It was nice when someone played along. Nice, too, that she was so cool about this. He hadn’t exactly been subtle (Wally’s fault, probably—Batman didn’t flirt), but he’d tried not to cross any lines.
“I guess, do you want to start, or should I?”
He doesn’t have time to react before she leans over and grabs him by the shirt. He does manage a squawk, but not before she’s kissing him and it sounds a bit muffled, but while he’s thrown off balance, it’s nothing new, it’s not a bad first kiss, and it’s like anything else in life, he just balances himself and kisses back.
And then it starts--

Ungood.
[GUESS WHO IS FEELING REALLY CHALANT RIGHT NOW.
Robin, in full costume and waking up after a catnap on top of some building, moans in horror when he sees that the Dreamberry was recording.]
Oh, doubleplusungood...
