Chalant Kisses

Princess Kiss

"Come sleep with me: We won't make Love, Love will make us."

~Julio Cortázar

Zatanna felt annoyed when she woke up and the Boy Wonder wasn't asleep beside her on the couch.

She could hear the tapping of fingers on the Cave computer's keyboard through her sleepiness.

Dating the Boy Wonder she quickly found out that he was a workaholic. He would type on a computer and work from dawn to dusk if she didn't make him take breaks.

He was sitting on a rolling chair pulled up to the main computer. She couldn't see what he was typing or working on. Feeling out for her phone beside her on the couch, she picked it up to look at the time. It was 2:15 am.

She stretched out like a cat on the couch before pulling herself from the couch and padding over in her magical wand pajamas.

"Why are you up?" She wrapped an arm around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Sorry Zee. Bats sent an encrypted message that The Riddler left at Belle Reve."

"Why did he have to send it so early?" She yawned.

"The wicked never sleeps," he shrugged.

She huffed. "Fine." She pulled another rolling chair. "Then I guess I'm staying up with you."

"You need to stop, Zee."

"So do you. But if you're staying up then I am too." She made herself comfortable in the chair and watched as he started back trying to solve the encrypted code.

It was well past 4 am when he finished unencrypting the message. Robin sighed and sank back into his chair. The sun wasn't even out yet.

Hearing someone shift beside him he turned. True to her words, Zatanna didn't fall asleep and stayed with him. She was slouched against the arm of her chair. She was barely able to keep her eyes open.

She was barely conscious when he turned her chair around and pulled her chair towards him. He lifted her up by the bond in her knee and an arm around her back.

He pressed his mouth against hers. She hummed against his lips and tried to keep up with his movements.

"Where are we going?" Her voice was slurred with sleepiness.

"To bed. Thank you for staying up with me."

"Mmhmm. Bedtime now."

He chuckled. "Of course, your majesty."
