'Obsessive and Dismissive Part II'

by Song Six

"Oh yeah, another win for Wally Rudolph West," the speedster declared defeating both Aqualad and Superboy in a match of holographic air hockey. M'gann didn't play deciding it would be more fun to watch the boys than to participate. Artemis just squint her eyes and watched quietly the whole time.

"Just remember. I could probably beat you up. Easily," Superboy griped as he crossed his arms and sulked. Wally smirked at him, and Artemis decided she wanted to wipe it off his face.

The blonde marched up to the opposing side, grabbed the holographic mallet, and put on a game face.

"So that's how it is?" Wally grabbed his mallet and put his face on as well, it was about to get serious up in Mount Justice.

Superboy, Aqualad and M'gann got close to either sides of the table about to witness a heated battle that had been waiting to happen for a long time. Of course, they all expected it to be in the form of actual hand-to-hand combat with weapons involved, but air hockey worked too.

Kid Flash took the puck and hit it in a swift move making it ricochet back in fourth between the edges flying into the other goal. Artemis however managed to block the puck in time and sent it flying across the board about to hit the entrance. The boy barely missed the puck, but using a skill shot, he sent it in the opposite direction scoring a point. Artemis glared as Kid Flash just sent her a wink making her only more revved up to beat him.

"Recognized. Robin. B01." Wally looked towards the entrance and saw the red and black clad young boy walk in. He watched him walk right past them and towards the kitchen without a word. He frowned and felt a bad feeling bubble up in his throat. Lately for some reason the younger boy had been avoiding him. He won't even look at him or say 'hi'. He wondered if he did something wrong to make Robin mad or upset with him.

This made Wally extra sad because one of the things he always looked forward to when coming to Mount Justice was spending time with his best friend. Before Young Justice, they didn't get much time together since they lived in two different cities and had their own bad guys to deal with. Having the opportunity to be able to just be around Robin taken away really…

"SCORE!"

"Hey!" Wally yelled when he realized Artemis hit the puck into his side.

"You should have been paying more attention to the game than to your boyfriend." M'gann gasped at Artemis' retort. Aqualad went wide-eyed, and Superboy just stood there.

Wally froze for a second before responding, "W-what's that supposed to mean?"

"Think fast!" Artemis warned, ignoring his question. The puck was coming towards him; he was ready to block it but then…

"Rob?" the young boy looked him square in the eye before looking down. If you were not Wally, you would have easily caught the pink tint that Robin's cheeks had turned. Ignoring Kid flash, Robin walked away carrying a bottle of honey from the kitchen with him.

Wally stared after him, and once again, the bad feeling came back into his throat. That is, until the game announced Artemis as the winner after she scored another goal while he was not looking.

"Dude! Not cool! That was another cheap shot! Totally unfair!" the speedster huffed

Artemis smiled evilly at him before saying, "I told you, you should have been paying more attention to the game than to him."

Pretending to play stupid, Wally walked up to her crossing his arms demanding answers, "Ok you harpy, what are you talking about? I was not distracted by anyone."

"Uh-huh, well, it's not like it would have made much of a difference anyway…" the girl challenged

"Tch! If Robin didn't come in I would have totally whooped your ass!" M'gann gasped once more. Aqualad left to the kitchen for a glass water to avoid the awkward moment. Superboy…again, he just stood there.

"HA! You do have a sick obsession over him!" Artemis declared oh so very bluntly, jabbing him in the chest with her finger in an 'I was right' matter.

Wally's jaw dropped, "What?"

"Uh, what Artemis means is we are aware of your feelings for Robin," Aqualad tried to explain as he returned.

"Kaldur, has being out of the water too long been making you think weird?" The Atlantian grimaced; he had half the mind to pour the water on Wally's pants.

M'gann flew over to the red head's side and tried to comfort him, "It's ok Wally, because we think Robin likes you back too."

"Are you guys sure? Because he sure did laugh. A lot. He was kind of a jerk too," M'gann quickly covered Superboy's mouth before he could say any more, and whispered something in his ear about not telling the whole truth all the time.

Wally rolled his eyes at them, "Wow, now none of you are making sense...WHOA HEY!"

"I am sorry, my hand slipped." Kaldur did still have half a mind to do it.

Artemis was starting to get tired of all these dismissive feelings, "Hey guys, it looks we need to speak slower for him to understand."

"Shut up! And I don't have any…feelings for Rob. We're just friends! That's how we've always been…and will always be…" Kid Flash insisted waving his arms in the air.

M'gann frowned and gave him a tight hug, "Wally, you don't have to put up a front, we're your friends. Lying to yourself and us won't make the situation any better."

He stood there looking at them, then looking down, then looking at them again, and then looking back to the floor before sighing in defeat. He slumped his shoulders and finally gave into what his friends were trying to help him with.

"Is it really that…?"

Artemis was about to interrupt him, but Superboy beat her to it, "Yes, yes it is."

"Dude!"

"You got mad at me for carrying him. Even though I was saving his life. You can't. Get. any more obvious. Than that," Artemis sniggered as the speedster laughed sheepishly realizing how ridiculous that was of him.

"Alright, so you guys know, but that doesn't change the fact that we're best friends, and it's going to stay that way," he spoke the last part with a touch of sadness making even Artemis feel bad for the guy.

"Why does it have to?" Kaldur questioned him

He touch his chin and looked to the ceiling as he thought about it, "Well for starters, Rob is straight. Even if he were…g…not straight, it could ruin our friendship. I've never been with…a dude. Plus, the kid's too young to understand relationships and all that junk."

"Weren't you listening to a word we said? Boy Wonder likes you too. He's just in complete denial," said Artemis, whom made an annoyed face at Robin's insistence to ignore Kid Flash's feelings the other day.

"You two have a strong friendship that could face anything. You should never have to worry about anything weakening your bond," M'gann comforted squeezing Wally's shoulder reassuringly.

"I don't know, he is pretty immature."

"I'd have to agree."

The two girls turned to the other boys and gave them both the nastiest glares they could muster up. They were taken aback by just how angry someone as sweet as M'gann could look.

"He made fun of genomes."

"He tricked me into drinking rancid milk."

"Get over it, you're grown boys. Look West, you're a superhero for god's sake. Have some balls, and do something about your obsess…feelings. You never know if you'll lose your chance. Because once again, you're a superhero, anything could happen," Wally genuinely smiled at Artemis. She smiled as well before it slowly turned into a smirk ," and Kaldur, I watched him do it too."

Kaldur was about to remark, but he chose to shut his mouth being the most mature one. Plus, he did not want to ruin the moment the two rivals just shared. As the leader, one of the 'toilet flushing' jobs was to deal with their bickering on a daily basis. Seeing them interact as good friends was a rare occurrence.

Wally however didn't know when to shut his mouth, "Wow, I didn't know you cared."

Artemis smirked, she knew they were just getting back into their normal setting," I don't. It's just annoying watching you be so fixated on Robin that you always trip over yourself and drool all over the place. "

"I don't drool or trip over myself!" Wally complained blushing madly

"I don't know about that, one time you fell asleep on the couch and you were slobbering on one of the throw pillows," Artemis remarked

Superboy nodded, "I was there too. You kept calling Robin's name."

"Shut up!"

"Somebody's not whelmed," the more muscled boy commented towards Kid Flash's embarrassment

M'gann smiled at her teammates friendly bantering before stepping in, "Guys, stop teasing him. Now Wally, what are you going to do about your crush?"

Wally went very quiet for a moment before saying, "I actually don't know."

"Well you definitely can't flirt with him the way you do with Megan," said Artemis. Which was true, considering the situation and the kind of guy Robin was. Some people were just immune to…Kid Flash's 'charm'.

"Kid Flash, you should just let him know how you feel," Aqualad advised

"I can't!"

"I'm sure you can,"

"No I really can't! He keeps avoiding me!"

"Has he really been avoiding you?"

"Duh! Why do you think when I tried to call him over he just ran off?"

Superboy sighed annoyed at all the trouble over silly crushes, "Maybe we shouldn't have had that talk with him the other day…"

Wally narrowed his eyes not liking what he was hearing, "What talk?"

Everyone looked around nervously. Artemis groaned deciding to be the escape goat," we basically told him about how you are controlling, possessive, suffocating, and of course obsessive over him."

"DUDE!"

Artermis snorted at him like he was making too much of a big deal, "What? He's been trained under Batman, so he probably already guessed it on his own. Now he's just in denial. About both your feelings, and his."

Wally crossed his arms frustrated they talked to Robin already or at all, "What even makes you guys believe he likes me anyway?"

"Whenever your name comes up his face lights up. He's interested immediately. I could talk about shoes, and he'll tune me out. But if I mention your name he's all ears," the blonde girl came up with without even having to spend much time thinking about it.

"Rob also seemed to have gotten very defensive whenever we said you were clingy," Miss Martian added in

"He also doesn't mind when you do weird stuff for him."

Wally scratched his head with a confused look a little afraid of what the archer or the others would bring up, "What weird stuff?"

"Cutting the crust off his sandwiches…"

"Tucking you in at night…"

"Carrying you places…"

"Watching you shower…"

"WHAT?"

"I was kidding about that one. But yeah, he's just in denial. That's why he's been avoiding you," Wally was relieved, but he couldn't help but feel just a little bit disappointed by the last part…

"Are you guys sure? Because if you're wrong I'm totally quitting team. And I'm gonna go solo with Speedy," Kid Flash warned jokingly in a better mood now.

Artemis rolled her eyes at him, "You can't go solo if there's two of you Kid Retard."

"Isn't his name Red Arrow?" Superboy asked

"Yeah, but he still calls me Cornfield, so I get to call him Speedy."

"Alright Wally, when you're ready go confront Robin ok? I have to go grocery shopping now, Superboy would you like to help me?" said Miss Martian before flying off with Superboy in toll.

The blonde archer looked at her 'invisible watch' and decided she wanted to leave, "Yeah, I need to go too. I have to go to target practice."

"Ooooh with who?" the speedster teased

Once again, she rolled her eyes at him crossing her arms , "I don't know why you're making that joke when you know Red Arrow despises me."

"HA! I never said anything about Red Arrow!" Instead of dignifying his comment with a response, she flipped her long ponytail at him and walk towards the exit.

Aqualad walked over and place a hand on his shoulder, "Do it when you are ready," he then walked away leaving Kid Flash alone.

He paced around the lounge for a very long time thinking about his options. He wasn't too sure on what he should do. His team basically told him the two of them shared feelings, but if they were wrong things would never be the same. Plus, he would be humiliated if he confessed and Robin didn't feel that way. Also, the missions would just become way awkward, and they would never be able to hang out again. Alone anyways, because what if the other boy feels too insecure to hang around him?

However, there was also the 'what if' of the situation where Robin did return his feelings. He wouldn't have to hide anymore, and he wouldn't feel a need to fill the gap he felt by flirting with so many girls anymore. He would feel like he belonged to someone finally. But not just anybody, but to his best friend whom he knew he could always depend on. He could always depend on him. Wally then realized, even if Robin didn't like him back he'd always be there no matter what. His team was right, they're best friends, and nothing would change that.

He ran towards Robin's room and stopped with a halt right in front of his door without crashing or anything. He stood there for a couple seconds before grasping the knob and pushing the door open. He looked inside and saw that Robin was engrossed with typing away at something on his computer concentrated on the monitor in front of him.

Finally he gathered up some courage and cleared his throat to catch the young boy's attention, "Ahem, Um, Hey Rob."

The muscles in Robin's back tensed and he didn't bother to turn around in his swivel chair, "Oh uh, hey KF, did you need something?"

Wally bit his lip nervously, "Yeah, I kind of need to talk to you."

Robin turned around and faced him, but he avoided his gaze, "Ok, talk."

"So…"

"So…"

The two just remained silent for what seemed like forever. Wally shuffled his feet, Robin kept adjusting his glasses. Neither of them really wanted to be the first to speak. But Wally knew it couldn't keep going on like this…

"Ok, I'm not going to ignore this I'm…I…Why have you been avoiding me?" Wally managed to sputter out

"I haven't been avoiding you," said Robin with no hesitation, before swiveling around to face his computer monitor again.

"Dude, quit being immature, yes you have!" Wally marched up to his desk and grabbed the back of his chair and turn Robin around to face him. He was surprised to find the boy was not smirking nor holding a 'you're being an idiot face'. He in fact looked embarrassed, which was something that Robin normally was…well…never!

"Why have you been avoiding me?" he asked again, only this time with a softer and gentler voice. Robin looked up at him with a face that made him want to pick the boy up, twirl him around, and hug him until he couldn't breathe! He was twiddling his fingers, his brows were furrowing, and his lips were pouting. A puppy faced Robin just made Wally weak.

"I don't know KF…I'm sorry," he sounded so quiet so sad! Wally couldn't take it anymore! The cuteness was too much! Darn Robin and his adorable Robin-ness! Darn him!

"I can't take it anymore Rob! I like you! Ok? And you like me too! You're just in denial!" Robin looked at him and gave him a look he couldn't really identify before it turned into a cross between a glare and amused face.

"And since when did you get to decide I was in denial or not?" Robin questioned with a tone of annoyance

"Uh…"

"Because what if I don't like you?" Wally's heart sank

"…"

"Then you just humiliated yourself." Did he have to make it worse?

"….."

"But you're lucky I do, idiot." Yes.

Who knew a pubescent preteen could make a guy feel so many emotions at once? Wally wanted to dance in celebration as his heart sang, but at the same time, he kind of wanted to punch the kid in the face for being such a booger.

"Rob! I don't know if I want to punch you or…" Suddenly both of them were blushing as they both knew exactly what was about to leave the boy's mouth. Kid Flash: fast on his feet but not with his mouth.

Without saying anything, they both closed their eyes and leaned in.

Wally felt his face heat up as he leaned closer and closer to the Boy Wonder. He was just centimeters away and he could feel Robin's breathe on his lips. This was the moment he had been waiting so long for, and he knew he wanted this. He really wanted this.

He got closer…closer…CLOSER! But before his lips even brushed the other's Wally felt himself topple over as he leaned into nothing as Robin had been yanked up by the collar of his shirt!

He hit the ground face first, "Ow!"

"Hey! What are you doing?" the young boy demanded to know as he kicked trying to escape the hold of whoever pulled him away. The other let him go and Robin turned around facing a not very happy Aqualad. He started to giggle.

"Robin¸ it seems as though we need to have a talk," the Atlantian said with as much patience as he could pulling out a bottle of shampoo that had been tampered with. He promptly took a hold one of robin's ears and pulled him away receiving whines from the bird boy.

Wally lifted himself from the floor and looked up, and he saw Aqualad yanking Robin out of the room by his ear. He had been dripping wet in nothing but a towel, and his blonde hair was unusually pointing out in odd directions and tinted orange.

The speedster scrambled to his feet and ran after them, "Kaldur get back here! You just stole my kiss! Not cool!"

Within the same moment, Superboy and M'gann had just returned to Mount Justice with the bags of food.

Superboy furrowed his eyebrows in confusion after using his super hearing, "That's weird."

"What is it Superboy?" M'gann asked as she opened the fridge to put away the eggs

"I just heard Kid get mad at Kaldur for stealing a kiss from him."

Needless to say they had to return to the store to get more eggs after M'gann dropped them on the floor.
