Flowers
"My love, I brought you a gift" Kid Flash said, entering the tower with a bouquet of flowers.
"Stop bringing me flowers" Robin said, stopping him in his tracks.
"Why?" Kid Flash said. "You said I have to make you fall in love with me right. That's what I do"
"I don't have anywhere to put so many flowers. You give me one bouquet a day" Robin said, pointing at the mountain of flowers that could be seen from the window and reached the floor where they were
"I've already made flower crowns with them, and they still don't run out" Robin said angrily
"Do you want me to change my strategy?" Kid Flash asked
"Yes, please" Robin said
"Okay. Understood, my life" Kid Flash said, placing one of the flowers from the bouquet in Robin's hair before leaving with the bouquet in his hands.
His Aunt Iris would like the bouquet anyway, and he would deal with clearing the way for Robin later.

Compliments, or rather, helping with things
"Hey, handsome. How's the most patient man in the world?" Kid Flash said.
Robin looked at him with a deathly expression and said "Shut up"
"We woke up angry. What's wrong with you in this wonderful day?" Kid Flash asked, approaching the other.
"Reports" Robin said, pointing at the papers on the table
"What did the reports do to you? Kill your family or what?" Kid Flash asked
"My family's already dead" Robin said, leaning on the table
"..." Kid Flash said
Robin looked at him, still resting his cheek on the cold table "You know I'm an orphan. Don't look at me like that"
"No, I didn't know. Why would I? Normally, you don't tell your enemy you're an orphan" Kid Flash said, looking at the young man.
"Well, you don't normally try to flirt with your enemy either, smart kid" Robin said.
Kid Flash sighed and sat down on the couch, clutching a pen.
"What are you doing?" Robin asked, lifting his head from the table
"Help you, you look like you're going to drop dead" Kid Flash said, looking at the other boy as he grabbed a sheet of paper from a report
"Go to your bedroom to sleep, or sleep here. You need it pretty boy" Kid Flash said, looking at the superhero before putting a blanket over Robin.
The boy leaned on Kid Flash's shoulder and covered himself with the blanket "If my team comes, kill them"
Kid Flash laughed and replied "Okay, sweet dreams, Sleeping Beauty"
And so Robin slept for a few hours while Kid Flash wrote the reports for him

Photographs
"Here's a gift for you to make this day better" Kid Flash said, entering the dark room.
"I don't want a gift. I want to be alone" Robin said, wrapped in a cocoon of blankets on the bed.
"Honey, I know you'll love it. Please open it. I promise to leave after you see it." Kid Flash said, handing the gift to the boy.
Robin sighed, but took his hands out of the warm cocoon and grabbed the offered gift.
"If it's a joke, I'll throw you out the window" Robin said, looking at the gift-wrapped box.
"It's not a joke, I promise. I'm not your team, okay? Besides, I can't win you with jokes" Kid Flash said
Robin unwrapped the gift and took it out of its cardboard box "How-"
Kid Flash smiled
Robin looked him in the eyes and showed him the gift, which was a picture of Robin's parents with him when he was 4 years
"How did you get this?" Robin asked
"A lot of favors, begging Batman to use his computer, and now I'm a walking target for your brothers when they want to go skeet shooting" Kid Flash said
"But I got the information I wanted, and it only took a quick run to get to the circus you grew up in. Miraculously, Haly had a copy of the photo. He said your father gave it to him on one of his birthdays" Kid Flash said with a smile
"I hope this doesn't take away the pain, but it lessens it. Having memories of your loved ones on the day they died helps. So does being with family, but I'm not Batman to force you to go home" Kid Flash said
"And as promised, I'm leaving" Kid Flash said, approaching the door.
"Wally" Robin said.
"Yeah?" Kid Flash said, turning to see his beloved's small, happy smile.
"Thank you" Robin said
"Anything for you, birdie" Kid Flash said, bowing before leaving the room so Robin could grieve in his own way
Of course, before leaving the tower, he threw the Titans into the sea so they wouldn't bother Robin today
It may have been April Fool's Day, but it was also the anniversary of Richard's parents' deaths

Cook
Robin had woken up to the good smell that wafted through the tower.
Had the Titans grown up and learned to cook?
Robin approached the kitchen entrance fearfully and was surprised to find the lights dim, a table with a red tablecloth and candles, next to two plates, cutlery, and glasses.
A figure approached whistling and placed a steak on each plate.
"Kid Flash?" Robin asked.
The redhead smiled "Hello, honey"
"What are you doing?" Robin asked
"I thought about making you something to eat, and then I said 'Why not make it a romantic dinner?'" Kid Flash said with a smile directed at Robin "The Titans won't bother us"
"How do you know?" Robin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because I left them with my Titans" Kid Flash said.
Robin raised a hand to his mouth and laughed "You took my Titans with yours just to make me a romantic dinner?"
"I told you I was going to try hard, didn't I?" Kid Flash said with a smile
"Thanks" Robin said sincerely
Kid Flash sat him down in a chair and brought him closer to the table with his super speed "Now enjoy the food and the company"
"I will" Robin said with a smile, waiting for the other to sit down so they could start eating

Music
Robin was enjoying the campfire in the woods.
They had gone to summer camp, and while the other team members were enjoying the activities and meeting Bumblebee
The superhero had been taken to a deep part of the forest where no one would see them
It sounded like a planned murder, but he sincerely hoped he wasn't wrong this time. It would be very disappointing to die at summer camp for the boy you had a crush on him
Wally and he were sitting deep in the woods, enjoying the starry night sky and the warmth of the campfire.
Kid Flash had removed his hood to reveal his face, and Robin had taken off his mask.
Wally had smiled as if it were Christmas and he'd been given an incredible gift.
But truth be told, Robin confiding in him about his secret identity was the greatest token of love the boy could give him.
Dick had his eyes closed, his head resting on Wally's shoulder as he gently played the guitar he'd brought and hummed softly.
Wally could see the boy's peaceful expression as he dozed.
The redhead smiled and frowned when his watch started beeping, signaling it was time to pack up and head back to camp.
"Dick, we have to go" Wally said, shaking the young man slightly
Robin woke up and rubbed his eyes "Already?"
"Yes, honey. The counselors will start to get suspicious if we don't come back. Donna and Roy can't keep them busy forever" Wally said
"My mask?" Dick asked sleepily
"Here" Wally said, handing it to him.
Dick put it on, and Wally looked into those blue eyes one last time before they were hidden again.
"Do you want a ride? You look tired" Kid Flash commented
"I am" Robin said
Kid Flash lifted him onto his back "Go back to sleep, I'll carry you"
"Thanks, Wally" Robin said with a smile before leaning on the other's shoulder and going to sleep
Wally walked quietly back to camp with a smile on his face

Dancing
Dick really didn't like charity galas where women pinched his cheeks and told him how handsome he'd grown up and men talked about business.
They were incredibly annoying and very boring. He always ended up at his father's side asking him to leave, and he always got a no-no and a "I told you you could stay home, Richard. You didn't have to come. But see if you can last another four hours, I promise we can go get fast food without Alfred finding out" The four hours always turned into eight, but at least Dick got ice cream and days off as compensation
Or he'd end up in a corner of the room enjoying the quiet, usually the second floor, which was off-limits.
But as he said, galas are incredibly boring, and Dick wanted to leave. His father had told him he'd have to stay for another three hours, which meant being very bored for a few more hours.
Dick said he could handle the boredom for a while longer, but that's not true. He was getting too bored for his liking, and he wanted to get out of here right away.
He was about to head upstairs so he could play the video game he had in his possession and get some entertainment today, but he didn't get very far when an arm grabbed him and pulled him onto the dance floor.
Dick frowned at him on the dance floor and turned his head to see who had thwarted his escape.
"Hey, I was just about to... Wally!" Dick said with a smile, watching the freckled, green-eyed young man look at him
"I'm sorry for the mistreatment, dear, but I couldn't get here sooner and I didn't want you to leave" Wally said with a smile as he placed one of his hands on the other's waist and intertwined the other with the young man's smaller hand
"Have you come to rescue me from this boring gala?" Dick asked as he continued dancing with the young man
"Yes, call me your knight in shining armor" said Wally
Dick laughed, amused by the joke
"You're so sweet" said Dick with a smile
"Thanks, darling" said Wally "Only the best for the best" He winked, causing the young man to laugh again
"Now let me save you from boredom for the rest of the gala, dear. I can't allow my crush to get sad" said Wally with a smile as he kissed his hand.
"You sure know how to charm a man" said Dick with a tender smile on his face
"I try" said Wally, looking into his eyes and winking.

New Experiences
Wally West woke up today with a smile on his face.
"Why are you so happy?" Bumblebee asked suspiciously when Kid Flash came down to the kitchen with a smile on his face.
"I don't know. I just woke up happy" Kid Flash said, still smiling as he made himself breakfast.
"What's wrong with the redhead?" Aqualad said, bewildered, as he entered the kitchen.
"He's happy" Speedy said, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
A doorbell rang, and the speedster grabbed his phone only to smile wider after reading the message he had received.
"Meet me at six o'clock at X address" Robin's message read
Kid Flash's smile grew even wider.
"Oops, he seems to have a sugar rush from all the smiling" Bumblebee said, looking at his friend.
"Robin has made a date for me somewhere" Kid Flash said, looking at his friends.
"Oh, great. You're finally going to get your date" Speedy said, patting the boy on the back
"It's about time. You've been trying to win him over for three years" Aqualad said.
"The effort paid off" Bumblebee said with a smile.
At six in the evening, Wally appeared at the indicated address and was pleasantly surprised to find it was the rooftop of a building surrounded by rose petals and Candles
How long had Robin been organizing this?
The place looked beautiful with the early starry night sky, giving it a romantic feel
"Wow, this is..." Wally said speechlessly
"Do you like it?" Dick asked, appearing out of nowhere at his side
"Are you sure you're not part ninja, love?" Wally asked, looking at the young man smiling at him
"I was trained by ninjas" Dick said
"That justifies it" Wally said
"But seriously, do you like it?" Dick asked
Wally picked him up and spun them both around "I love it. I can't believe you did this for me"
"Well, you're always doing things for me. In fact, you've been doing things for me for three years. I wanted to return the favor" Dick said, smiling into his eyes as he was placed back on the ground.
Wally smiled "You're so fantastic, and you don't even know it"
"Thank you" Dick said
The two sat on the rooftop enjoying the picnic Dick had brought. The atmosphere, the company, even the location were straight out of Wally's wildest dreams, and he didn't want to wake up.
"A shooting star, make a wish" Wally said, looking up at the starry sky
A soft hand grabbed his neck as it rubbed his cheek, and before long, Wally was enjoying the best kiss he'd ever had. It was like fireworks were flying inside him.
"Did your wish come true?" Dick whispered, moving a few inches away from the other's mouth.
"Yes, and it's just as perfect as I imagined" Wally smiled softly.
"I'm glad to hear it" Dick said with a smile.
The boy lay down on the blanket as they shared more kisses and laughter.
"I hope the wait was worth it, my love" Dick said as he rubbed circles on the older man's arm.
He had Wally leaning against his chest as they both lay looking up at the stars.
"You'll always be worth the wait Robin, and these three years were worth every damn second" Wally said before lifting himself up a little and kissing the younger man again
Dick smiled, and Wally could see the love he felt reflected in the other's crystalline eyes.
"Thanks for waiting for me, Wally" Dick said
"I'll wait for you in every lifetime" Wally said
The two shared a kiss as the stars continued to shine above. This was the beginning of a beautiful relationship that would last for years.
