Title: Fries

Y/n - Your Name
Note - its a short one, sweetheart. Its probably trash, too. Idk why I do so much injustice to Roy and Arsenal and anybody who isn't a batboy. Am sorry loves.

Guys, as I publish this it's Jan 8, 2018 (morning), and I have school TOday. You probably already have or are going back to school, too. It's terrifying, its terrible, it's agony, I know. I'm gonna need you to stay strong, and come thru. You got this.
Good luck to you, stay whelmed.

Sorry for the trashy chapter ok this back to school thing is effecting us all.

"Honestly, just give me an answer. Are you coming or not? I'm hungry." You complain through the phone to Barbara.

"Yeah, yea yea ye ye ye ye y yuh yuhs yus I am." Barbara says,  the sound of her putting on things is evident.

"Yeah, what about this - this, soulmate thing you're talking about?"

"Yeah, Barbara you know how its been counting down, obviously, well the count down is in 10 minutes. The worst part is, I'm in the clothes I slept in last night. I didn't even check what my watch was at, I just woke up and left!" You try to hide the eagerness in your voice "I, something in my gut told me to WenDay's, and I didn't want to encounter him alone so I wanted you to come."

"I'll be there in like 5 minutes love I'm just leaving. I'll call you when I get there. Which WenDay's?"

"it's the WenDay's." You say and she hums.

"OK OK, alright, order me some fries I'll be there soon." She hangs up.

Soon, yeah right.

The thing you find weird about this whole situation is the fact that your settings is in WenDay's. You get in line to order. You just, didn't think that this would be the meeting place. As cliche as it sounds, you expected something much like Disney movies. Meeting at a grand place wearing grand clothing.

"Yeah, can I get two large fries and one large cup?"

"$6.42" You give her a $10 bill and she gives you change, turning around to take and hand you a large cup. You thank her, walking off to fill your cup with pink lemonade.

You hope that your grey pajamas and oversized T shirt isn't too underwhelming. Pphht, who even cares? People can't deny their soulmate, can they?

"Ugh, where is she?" You dare not to look at the clock on your wrist. You start visibly shaking, until you hear your order.

"Two large fries!" The pick up area calls out, and you stand. You walk toward the counter and just as you grab the bag, somebody else does too.

"Hey hey hey, hands off the food, bub." You say, yanking it away.

"Ma'am, that's my order."

"Are you saying that I'm stealing from you?" You turn around, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm saying that you might have the wrong order picked up."

"Well it could be you who mixed up your order, because my order was pretty simple, and I'd know if it was wrong." You say.

"I highly doubt that I'm the wrong one, here."

"I highly doubt that you're the right one here." You glare at him, looking straight into his eyes. He looks down, and involuntarily, you do too. You see two clocks on the tile floor, both down to zero.

You make eye contact with him again, putting the pieces together and mentally face palming yourself. I just did this, didn't I.

He raises an eyebrow at you, you shrug.
"Just because you're the one doesn't mean I'm about to give up what I ordered, sweetheart." You say.

"Two large fries and a frosty!" He turns to the counter and pauses, clenching his jaw and closing his eyes.

You lean on one leg, pursing your lips together.

He looks at you, clasping his hands together awkwardly.

"I'm gonna.. gonna get my, my food." He says and you nod. You pick up your clock on the ground and pick up his too, finding a seat.

Oh my goodness what a way to meet. I can't believe I just, we just -

"Sorry... about the misunderstanding like 20 seconds ago." He, says, placing the food on the table. "Can I, can I sit here?" He asks and you shrug.

"Whatever." You say. He sits down, exhaling. There's an awkward silence between you two. You twirl the straw in your fingers.
"You got a name?" You don't look at him.

"Roy Harper, you?"

"Y/n."

"Good talk." He stuffs his mouth with fries.

You scoff "Well, I suppose we should do a get to know you thing? Assuming that we would want to be sure neither onus is a crazy murderer."

"I've handled crazy murderers before." He smirks. You stare at him for, well about a full minute before he chuckles, saying "Fine."

You get a tap on your shoulder. You turn around to see Barbara nearly in shock with what she's looking at. "That's, that - that's your soulmate?!" She whisper yells. You look back and forth from Roy to her.

"Yeah, what's the big deal?" You shrug, and she grunts, sitting next to you.

"Nothing, I've just seen him before. It's was surprising." She says. Roy looks at her like she's an intruder.

"Um... Could she... not leave but maybe sit at a different table? Five minutes."

"Hey, bub. Whatever you have to say to her," she touches my shoulder with hers. "You can say to me."

"Its kinda personal." He narrows his eyes. Suddenly he looks down, and then stares at you with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Sorry, I have to go."

"Where? If you don't mind me asking."

"I'll tell you when the time is right. For now, you got a phone number?" A rushed and hopeful look is on his face and you tilt your head, taking out a marker.

"Yeah, want me to write it on your arm?" You put your hand out so he can put his forearm on you. He nods, giving you his right arm.

"See you 'round," he looks like he's about to say more but he stops, nodding at you and turns to leave.

"Wait - can I keep this?" You dangle his clock from your hands.

He tilts his head. "Can I have yours?" He asks. You take a look at your clock, which Barbara drew a dick on with permanent sharpie. You shrug, tossing it to him. He looks at it for a few seconds and grins at you, winking.

"I'll find you later."

"Wow, some guy. A real dish, am I right? I'll find you later. Stalkerrr muuuuchhh-" Barbara snickers. You elbow her rib.
"Whatever, lover girl. Pass me those fries."

-

Hey I'm sorry that it was trash.
Ain't gotta remind me, LOL.

I've been working on Falling chapters more often. The plot is so clear in my mind but its been taking me a while to type it down. Therefore, I have been accidentally procrastinating pm this book, but no worries! Ill update soon!

ALSO!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! I am aware that I posted A NIGHTWING X READER PART ONE oneshot, and you guys have been asking me where the happy ending is, because in the request it asked for a happy ending.

I hate to sound blunt or overly sarcastic-to-the-point-where-it-sounds-rude about this but, if it's not in part one, where do you think the happy ending is gonna be, love? IN SOME OTHER PART THAT I MAKE. Patience, sweetheart.

Anyways, stay whelmed while you're at it :]
