I know, a x reader as the first one shot. How cliche of me.
I hate it.
I hated the feeling of finally coming to grips with a situation, only for the tables to be turned 360° on me. Even though I don't like him, something I like even less is him having a someone. It was that one stupid mission, where Zatanna showed up. We'd been friends for a while, but when robin started rambling around her, and beaming at her in the middle of fights, and radiating positivity when near her, it just became... infuriating.
And the worst part is, he knows I'm upset.
-
"What's up, (y/n)?"
"Begone, duck face. Leave me alone with my ice cream."
"No. If Wally hasn't eaten it, then you have a secret freezer in your room. And I want in."
"Pfffttt, like I could install a freezer in my room without my own personal stalk-legged stalker."
"Mean."
"Truthful."
"But seriously, why have you been so upset recently?"
I froze, colder than the icecream. Does he know? Oh gosh oh gosh oh go- wait. Do I know? The whites of his mask are staring expectantly at me, like a puppy who doesn't know who the good boy is.
"Honestly? Z is what's wrong. Our relationship is... falling out."
"Wow, that's rare... I'll talk with her soon, see what's going wrong.
He seems happy to have an excuse to talk to her.
"No, robin. It's my fault. Outside the team, I... kinda like this guy. But he's practically draped all over her when we're near him."
"Been through something like that myself. It's hard not having a lot of time to socialise, all your friends end up dating acquaintances and the é voila, you're a third wheel."
"But like, I'm also a complete jerk to him. Some kind of denial phase? I don't know..."
He's listening intently. Pathetic, I'm sitting here telling the boy I like about my crush, with a tub of ice cream in my lap and a massive spoon in my hand. Wearing sweatpants and fluffy socks."And so - (y/n)? Helloooo?"
"Oh, yeah.... just dwelling."
"As I was saying, you should talk to Z. Ask her where she and the guy stand, and tell her you like him. If she's really your friend, she'll be glad that you came clean. And if they aren't dating, ask him out."
"Thanks, Rob. I'll... work up to it."
He left, a sad silence where he was before.
(Time skip ~ brought to you by the fresh smell of Ajax)
It had been a week since your advice chat with robin. Oblivious child, he didn't even flinch that whole conversation. No realisation. I've tried being softer on him, less sassy. But whenever I don't make a snarky comment, Zatanna gives me a weird look. This wasn't helping my deteriorating courage. But, I had to tell her today. No more lies. I found her in the training room, and just blurted it out.
"I like Robin."
She just raised her eyebrow.
"Really. You, little miss 'lets pick on a guy on the team for no apparent reason' has a crush?"
"You aren't mad? He seems to like you a lot, I thought I'd get your consent."
"I'm... a little shocked. But not mad. You don't need my consent to like someone, we can't choose who we love. But I thank you for telling me."
"Its just... He's more clingy than a koala. He didn't even let you finish your first sentence to the team. He is NOT going to notice me."
"Funny thing about that, the reason he was so eager to meet me was because he finally had a girl on the team with similar views to you. He needed help trying to be 'better friends' with you."
"So I've been a friendzone from the start? Peachy."I'm gonna do a part two, just needed to get something published. Forgive my terrible writing, I have zero inspiration as of currently. But yeah, hope you could tolerate this? Idk, leave any criticism you want to.
Ciao!
