ROBIN. [ S1 complete and S2 in the making! ]

Mini-Stage 12

The city lights dimmed, casting shadows across Gotham, leaving the sky clear and star-studded. The galaxy above mirrored in Y/n's crystal eyes as she came to stand inches from his face.

"Care explaining?" she murmured, amusement lacing her voice. The closeness made Robin's heart race, his emotions a jumble of confusion and something else he couldn't quite name. He managed to choke out, "Why?"

Y/n's playful smirk softened momentarily into vulnerability before she responded, "Let's just say I was curious. About you, about what brings you here at this hour."

Robin, finding a spark of defiance, countered, "Maybe I could ask you the same."

"Perhaps," Y/n conceded, the glint in her eyes returning.

The charged silence between them was broken by a distant siren. Y/n sighed, amused. "Duty calls," she said, stepping back.

"Wait," Robin called out, surprising himself. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"

Y/n's smile remained cryptic. "Maybe. But some secrets are best kept hidden... for now." Before he could respond, she leaned in and kissed him softly on the cheek. The touch was brief but electric, leaving Robin stunned as Y/n laughed softly, disappearing into the night.

He stood there, heart pounding, with the echo of her laughter and the warmth of her kiss lingering in the cool Gotham air, left with more questions than answers after their fleeting encounter.
