Atelophobia- Fear of imperfection

Kaldur had always seeked approval from his king and queen, for that reason he had became a bit of a perfectionist to a fault. He never had to deal with failure before but now that he was on an actual team he knew he would have to cope with failure sooner or later. Robin noticed how Kaldur's hands would clench whenever they were reprimanded or the slight wince Kaldur would attempt to control when he personally had messed up. Finally after a another failed mission the young boy wonder confronted him about it.

"Kal? Can I talk to you?" He asked.

Kaldur looked over at the youngest before following him to a place of privacy. "Is there something I can help you with Robin?" Kaldur asked him.

"Not everything can be perfect Kal."

Kaldur was confused, "I...I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to."

"I noticed. You get upset when you think you failed him, your mentor."

Kaldur sighed deeply. He knew there was no use denying it any longer. "How?"

Robin smiled lightly, "I was the same exact way when Batman took me in. I was constantly trying to impress him. Trying to prove myself, when he figured out what was going on, he told me to stop."

"To stop?" Kaldur's eyes narrowed in confusion.

"Yeah. He said I didn't need to prove myself because he already knew what I was capable of. That's why he took me in because he saw my potential. Kal...no matter how much we preach about being grown up we aren't. We're supposed to make mistakes that's how we learn to be better. So, don't worry so much, Aquaman already knows of your skills, that's why he chose you and why we chose you as leader." Robin smiled up at the older teen.

Kaldur's eyes widened but then a small smile graced his face, "I...thank you Robin."

The younger boy nodded in acknowledgement.
