Just Robin Oneshots Part 2

Then love him coward

Fire is the solution to everything

Artemis pulled Robin into her room and quickly shut the door. The teen stared at her in confusion. "Uh, sorry Arty but you're not really my type," he stated. She tutted at him and sat on her bed, patting the space beside him. Reading the room, he assumed his first guess about what was going on was wrong so he joined her on the bed. "I know you have a crush on Wally," she stated. That one statement knocked all the air out of his lungs whilst simultaneously turning his cheeks bright red. He stammered and stuttered to refuse the truth but she just waved her hand. He couldn't exactly admit that he had a crush on Wally. She was the one trying to date him! She'd surely kill him if he admitted it. She was trying to trick him into admitting it, he was sure of it. He shook his head insistingly to try and prove she was wrong. "Robin, I'm not blind. You really like him and I really like him too. You can see the problem here," Artemis said, gesturing to the both of them. Robin's shoulders slumped. There was no point denying it anymore. Especially when she seemingly wanted to work through the problem. "I really want to date him but I'd feel like a total bitch if I didn't tell you and try to work something out before I asked him out." He sighed. He could see how much she wanted to be with him plus she'd be so great for Wally. She'd be able to publically care for him, love him without fear. He didn't even know if he liked boys. It was pretty unlikely with the number of girls he flirted with. "You didn't need to talk to me before. I'm happy just being his friend. He thinks of me as a brother anyway," he responded, doing his best to not express how he was feeling. Artemis held his hand. 

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. You two will be great for each other," he assured her. She grinned and snatched him up in a hug. 

"Thank you."

After almost a year of dating Wally, Artemis pulled Robin into her bedroom. Since the last time the same sequence of events happened, he went home that night and cried for at least two hours, he wasn't exactly excited for the talk they were going to have. She began pacing her room and he just sat down on the bed, silently preparing himself for the next bombshell she'll drop on him. "I'm breaking up with Wally," she told him. Robin stood up and ceased her pacing. 

"What're you talking about?" he said, making sure he heard her right. 

"I'm breaking up with Wally and you need to date him," she proclaimed. He almost had a heart attack right there and then. The pair hadn't even broken up yet, and even after they were, he couldn't just move in on Wally like that. It wasn't fair on the poor guy. How would it look if his best friend suddenly made the moves on him right after a breakup? Awful was how it would look. Shallow was how it would look. "What? No! I can't do that!" he protested, shooting down her order. 

"But he's free now. Date him. Please."

"No means no! What type of crumby friend would I be to date him right after a breakup?" he responded, folding his arms to show he wasn't moving on his stance. She groaned and fell back on her bed in exasperation. "But you need to!" He glared at her. 

"I see what you're doing. You want him to have a rebound so you two can be all chummy after you do it but I can't be that rebound. I won't do it." Artemis sat up and gave him a frustrated look. 

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Great!"

"Just asterous!" They stared at each other frustratedly for a few minutes before Robin cracked a smile. "What're we doing?" he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Artemis laughed.
