Dick waltzed into the lounge room where Artemis was reading a book. It was a soppy romance, but Robin didn’t need to know that. He rounded the couch and stared into her grey eyes with a creepy little smirk on his sharp face.
“Hello, Arty!” he grinned. She scowled at the nickname.
“I’ve told you, little bird, don’t call me that or face extreme pain,” she snarled, wanting to get back to her romance. It was quite... explicit, and exciting. Her response made him smile even bigger,
“Oh Arty. I’ll call you what I want,” he said. Artemis looked at him. He knew something, if one would judge him by his smug tone.
“No, you won’t if you want to have children in the future.” She turned back to her book. Whatever he thought he had, it probably wasn’t very important. She missed Robin’s smile falter, just a little, and be hitched up in a hurry. He decided to tell her.
“I know who you liiiiiike, I know who you have a crushhhhh on!” he sang loudly, revelling in the clear panic in her eyes and face. She tried to school her features into an unconcerned mask, but it was too late. He had seen it.

“If you tell a soul, Boy Blunder, I swear to God-“ she ended her sentence with a violent hand movement. His eyes widened a fraction. He knew she would do that and much more. He smiled and cocked a finger, telling her to come closer. Daring her . She stood up and walked over to stand next to the small boy.

“I won’t tell a soul, Arty. But you have to do something in return...” he whispered in her ear. She shivered. His voice was deep and menacing.
“What is it, Robin?” she whispered. He leaned in and spoke softly.
“This is what you need to do...”

Wally was starving. He had just had a training session with Superboy (that he lost by the hair on his head) and he needed to regain his strength.
He ran into the kitchen and glanced to the lounge room and froze. There was his best friend, and the annoying girl he might possibly have a tiny crush on, whispering into each others ears, looking very intimate. He saw on the couch a book splayed out on the green fabric. He knew that book, it was that popular romance novel he caught Arty reading yesterday. Wally stared. Dick knew that he liked her. Yet here he was. Clearly flirting with her. In a rage, Wally ran out.
“Too far, Dick. Too far.” He whispered to himself. The bird flirted with Artemis quite a bit. Wally didn’t think she noticed, or cared, he thought they had a brother-sister relationship. He guessed he thought wrong.

It was later the next day, when Wally was eating breakfast, that he saw the Artemis again. She walked in to the kitchen, head held high, wearing... Wally gulped and his throat went dry. A black bra and underwear. He choked on his breakfast, and felt Dick hit his back. The archer swept past the two boys, and grabbed a bowl of cereal. Filling the bowl with milk, she sauntered past them into the lounge room, were she turned on the tv.

It was at that moment that M’gaan walked in.
“Sorry guys! I had to go get Connor from training-“ she stopped as she spotted the archer. Then Connor walked into her.
“What are you wearing, Artemis?” the Martian asked in a confused tone. The blond didn’t look at her.
“Robin.” was all she said. Realization hit everyone. Wally sped over to the mortified teen. Trying very hard to not look at her, he struck up conversation.
“Sooo, what did he have on you?”
She sighed and tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach.
“He knows who I have a crush on,” she admitted. The redhead looked at her funny. She thought he didn’t believe he, but in reality, he was kinda disappointed.
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
There was silence for a moment, before the speedster interrupted it.
“Y’know, when Rob found out my crush, I have to sing ‘I will always Love you’ to Batman,” He said conversationally. Artemis couldn’t help it, she laughed. He raspy morning voice filled up the room, and the rest of the team glanced their way. Robin looked delighted.
“Puuuurfect,” he murmured. M’gaan, who was closest, looked inquisitorially at him.
“I ship it,” he explained, leaving her more confused than ever. Zatanna, who had just walked in at that moment, high-fived the bird and continued on to explain ‘shipping’ to the green skinned girl.

So in the end, Artemis went nearly two hours without hitting Wally, who in turn, went two hours without hitting on every girl in sight. They then watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and discovered they both loved Alan Rickman, and both thought Draco was ‘the hot bad boy in school’. Oddly enough, it was Wally who said this, making Artemis laugh so hard she fell off the couch. Robin flittered in here and there, thinking about how awesome he was to have gotten is OTP back on track, and generally an awesome day was had by all.
