Laughed

Saying that Robin had an iconic laugh was like saying the sky was blue; the way it melted Wally's heart, however, was a lesser known fact in the world.

Cried

He was sad, which in turn made Wally sad; all of Robin's tears were used up at a young age, so Wally cried enough for the both of them.

Dream

Because of what he was exposed to, Batman had trained him not to dream, but every now and again, he saw splashes of red and green underneath his eyelids.

Kissed

It was nothing like the movies portrayed it to be; there was no fanfare or swelling of music, but when Wally's leg brushed against his and they gazed at each other for a while…it just felt right.

Hugged

It was obvious Uncle Barry was the hugging type; all of the speedsters were overtly touchy, but the way Robin expertly squeezed Wally's waist at times made the red head suspect Batman was quite the hugger as well.

Killed

It killed him to see Robin this miserable, it seemed to happen the same two particular days every year; he always locked himself in his room…with a candlelit cupcake in hand.

Screamed

Terror twisted in his stomach when the older teen screamed his name in fear; it was one of the worst things he had ever heard…Joker's cackle didn't even come close.

Bled

To see the gauzes on Robin's arms pained his heart; he knew it was a part of the job…but why couldn't he have hyper-accelerated healing like him?

Giggled

He had fits of them….for no reason during their weekly sleepovers; Robin tried his earnest to ignore them and sleep, but each time his cold, clammy foot would accidently bump the other's underneath the blanket: it started right back up again.

Slapped

Slapping was for girls, punching was for boys; a rule Robin once momentarily forgot when Artemis threw one insult too many.

Attacked

He never saw it coming, Batman would have been so disappointed to see him caught off guard, but a breathless rush of yellow and red later…he was suddenly out of harm's way; it was hard getting use to that.

Battled

"Breakfast, or me." It was a constant war Wally West had battled between food and his best friend.

Listened

It amazed him how they both could sit on the roof and quietly talk for hours; what most didn't know about Kid "Mouth" was that he could listen just as earnestly as he could jabber.

Cracked

Even when his lead-laced sunglasses had cracked, Wally ran away as fast as he could, refusing to catch a glimpse of his eyes without his permission.

Belonged

He belonged in the darkness…it was what he was taught; other than slinking into the shadows, only one other thing could make him cackle like he did…one other person that is.

Shivered

It was so slight that no one on the team noticed it; knowingly, Wally gently took his hand and quietly led him into the Circus Tent-like hideout where their enemy resided.

Escaped

"Robin…." The way his name airily escaped from freckled adolescent's lips made him hesitantly slink back into the bed and tangle of limbs; he figured everyone else could wait a while longer.

Offended

He just discovered his best friend's middle name; he hoped the "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" plushie wouldn't offend "Rudolph the Red Haired Speedster" too much.

Guarded

He was always guarded: physically, mentally, and emotionally; Batman had said to always keep a brick wall up between him and others…with Wally, it always shrunk into a screen door.

Blushed

The oddest things made Robin blush; whenever Wally downed a whole banana split sundae, he could swear his best friend's face was as red as his hair.

Moved

Robin moved like a ballerina, not that Wally would ever tell him that, but the way he unknowingly trudged around the kitchen on his tip toes was just so damn adorable.

Impressed

Goofy demeanor set aside, when Wally started reciting pieces of quantum mechanics, Robin was more than impressed.

Refused

Wally was immortal; and with all the stupid decisions he made during battle, Robin refused to think otherwise…for his sake.

Loved

It was the something that went without saying; it was their combining strength as well as weakness.
