Chapter 1: The mystery of the blackboard
Chapter Text
"This is what we're going to do" Speedy said, placing a hand on the board.
"Since when do we have a board?" Aqualad asked
"That's not the important thing, the most important thing is to plan the best way to get Kid Flash out of the friend zone at last" Bumblebee said
"Exactly so we need ideas" Speedy said
"Brainstorm guys, I need that date with Robin for yesterday" Kid Flash said placing his hands on the table while making a splash
"You can give him flowers" More said
"That's very basic" Bumblebee said
"Take him to a picnic" Less said
"Give him some jewelry" Aqualad said
"Or a book" More said
"No, I don't even know if he likes earrings, a book is just a good gift for a reader" Wally said
"Take him on a visit to the museum" Bumblebee said
"That's so boring, bumble" Wally said groaning in disgust
"Because you have hyperactivity and don't appreciate art or cultured things" Bumblebee said with his arms crossed
"Learn Romani" Aqualad said
"Do you know how long it takes to learn a new language?" Wally asked the fish boy
"Revive his parents" More said
"Give him chocolate" Less said
"Yeah I take out my portable swamp reviving people right now and bring them back" Wally said sarcastically
"Fuck him" Speedy said
"Roy I want to go out with him not a one night stand" Wally said
"Write him a poem or a letter confessing your feelings along with a gift and give it to him" Raven said
Everyone turned to see the girl who had spoken and who was not there before
"Where did you appear from?" Kid Flash asked
"Robin asked me to tell you that the food is ready and if you don't want Cyborg and Beast Boy to eat it all, you better hurry up" Raven said before disappearing in one of her portals
Kid Flash put aside the good idea that Raven had given him to run off towards the tower with his entire team behind him
The weekly dinners between the titans of the east and west had started as a celebration thanks to the fact that Kid Flash and Robin had finally solved their disputes, they apologized and talked about things like two civilized adults and became friendlier with each other
So both groups of titans had celebrated with a joint meal that had evolved into getting together for a meal all together one day of the month to celebrate more years of friendship between teams
Kid Flash had been very happy to have a second chance with Robin after realizing what an idiot he had been to him all this time, he just didn't think that spending more time with the boy wonder would lead him to fall in love with him
Chapter 2: The letters
Chapter Text
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T SIGN ANY OF THE LETTERS?" Speedy asked
"I got scared okay" Wally said when his friend stopped shaking him
"You're such a big idiot, we want Robin to fall in love with you not a secret admirer" Bumblebee said hitting Wally on the cheek
In the tower Robin's morning had started off calmly, he could still enjoy a few minutes of peace before the other titans woke up and he went back to the kitchen to get a second cup of coffee
On the kitchen table he found a white envelope with only his name written on it
Robin looked at it curiously and scanned it for threats, as the analysis gave him the green light to open the envelope, Robin was quick to do so
Dear dick
You know me and I know you too, but as I'm a coward when it comes to feelings I've decided not to reveal myself to you yet, so I'm leaving you with a nice treasure hunt through the tower with things I want to tell you but I don't dare to
It's only 10 letters, it seemed like a good start
I loves you and wishes you luck
W
Robin looked at the letter and smiled amused, it wasn't unusual for him to have secret admirers, but it was strange to receive personal mail from them, or they had breached security and that couldn't be because then he wouldn't receive a letter but a teenager hugging him or the letter told the truth and someone he knew apparently wanted to tell him things without saying it to his face
Robin shrugged and laughed amused, this would entertain him for the morning
After spending half a morning searching and the titans questioning what was wrong with their leader Robin finally got the 10 letters at 6 pm
The dark-haired boy went to his room and opened them in order
1: Your eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue like a cloudless sky but more beautiful
2: You know you should laugh more, that frown doesn't suit your complexion. And I'm not just saying this because I love your laugh, it's so cute and so rare
3: Do you know how you wrinkle your nose when you're concentrating deeply on something? It's adorable and I love it
4: Even though you're rich you're humble, I like that
5: I love the way you move, you have so much flexibility in that little body of yours
6: I love it when you speak Romani, I have no idea what you're saying, but it's so amazing to see a person you love speak another language
7: I can't believe you actually know so many languages, I'm lucky I speak English
8: I just wanted to tell you that I'm actually a year older than you, you're 18 and I'm 19 :)
9: I don't know who decided that the diminutive should be Dick, but thanks for telling me your name Richard, it's a great show of trust
10: I made you a present, it's in your window, I hope you like it :)
Robin looked at his open window and found a cardboard package leaning against it, the young man grabbed it and opened it only to find a cute round pin made of gold with a red and black robin on it, the engraving on the back said "May your dreams always come true my little robin" in Romani
Robin smiled and wiped away the tears that were about to fall, receiving such a personal gift had touched a nerve
He didn't know who the secret admirer was, but for the moment he was in their good books
The boy put the souvenir on the shelf next to one of the few photos with his parents that he still kept
Chapter 3: Jason
Chapter Text
Dick was quietly walking through the city when he heard someone calling his name
The boy turned around only to be approached by a shorter and more smiling body than him
"Hey little brother" Dick said with a smile from the ground ruffling Jason's hair fondly
"What are you doing?" Jason asked looking at him with a smile
"I'm out for a walk" Robin said getting up from the ground "Do you want to join me?"
"Can we go get burgers?" Jason asked
"Sure" Dick said with a smile
"Who the fuck is that?" Wally asked in the titans of the east chat group right under a picture of Jason and Dick smiling at a burger stand
"It's his brother Wally" Roy answered while laughing on the couch
"Does Dick have brothers?" Wally asked, puzzled by the group.
"Jason is 16, Tim is 14, and Damian is 8," Roy said.
"How do you know that?" Wally asked.
"I'm dating his brother and I've met Robin before," Roy said.
"Did you go shopping or not?" Aqualad asked ignoring the messages from the other two
"Yeah" Kid Flash said
"Bring it then, I'm starving" Bumblebee wrote
Wally sighed and stopped looking at his crush to run off to his house where his friends were waiting for him
"And then Bruce said we should try making cookies, but we ended up burning down the kitchen, Alfred gave us a 5 hour lecture" Jason said talking about the recent things that were happening at home
"Poor Alfred" Dick said thinking about what the young butler had to clean
"Can I see your tower big brother? Please, please, please" Jason asked pleading
Dick looked at the arm Jason had grabbed to pull him and sighed "Only if you behave"
"I'm always an angel" Jason said with a smile
Robin paid and took the boy to the tower where the young man stared at the room impressed
"Wow" Jason said
"All with first technology" Robin said with a smile coming back from the kitchen where he left the purchases in their corresponding places
"Do you have any games?" Jason asked looking at the console connected to the television
"Do you want a game of Mario Kart?" Robin asked with a smile bending down to open the drawer of games and controllers
"Best of seven?" Jason said sitting on the couch
"Sure" Robin said inserting the CD into the console and giving a controller to his brother before starting to play
The titans found them engaged in a competition when they entered the tower and beast boy and cyborg stayed to watch and play
Chapter 4: Getting to know your non-father-in-law
Chapter Text
"Thanks for joining me for this event Wally" Dick said with a smile
The black suit he was wearing flattered his figure and worked wonders on the redhead's imagination
"Whenever you want Dick" Wally said with a smile
The two boys were at a mandatory gala in Gotham
Bruce had requested Dick's presence for the event and Dick had brought Wally to keep him company and not get bored
He had actually asked Raven, Starfire and Roy before, but Raven had something about a book she had to look for, Starfire was not good with high society and Roy had already told Jason that he would accompany him, luckily he suggested asking Wally and the boy accepted without much problem
Now Dick could see his little brother arguing with Damian and Tim with Roy trying to prevent the multiple murder and Robin smiled happily. They made a good couple and Robin was happy for them
"Are you sure the suit is not bad?" Wally asked twisting his bowtie for the 5th time
Robin put it back on and smiled at him "Wally I already told you you look lovely tonight, stop twisting your bowtie"
The two boys had started to walk around the place to look for acquaintances or food whatever they found first. Some people stopped them and stopped to talk to them for a while before reaching the table with food and starting to chat about their lives
Wally had questions and many anecdotes so the time spent talking helped them make the night go faster
While they were dancing Dick's father approached them to ask his son something along with a young girl with red hair and green eyes
"May I steal him for a dance?" Barbara asked Dick's companion
"Actually-" Wally started to say, but the girl had already taken him away leaving the young man talking to a smiling Bruce Wayne
"Hey babs how are you?" Robin asked
Barbara had been one of his few friends in Gotham, it had been a long time since he had spoken to her
"Great, dad recently got promoted" The girl said with a smile
"I'm happy for him then" Dick said with a smile as he spun the young woman around
"And how are you? I see you're still with the same type" Barbara said looking at the young man who continued talking to Bruce
"Oh Wally he's just a friend" Dick said with a smile
"Boy I've seen your looks all night, you're both hungry and not for food" Barbara said laughing
"I might like him a little" Dick said blushing
"Just a little?" Barbara said with a raised eyebrow
"But don't tell him, I know he doesn't like me" Dick said looking at the girl
"Yeah and I'm not a lesbian but I'll comply with your request unless I really have to lock you two in a closet to kiss" Barbara said looking at her friend
"Remind me to never mess with you" Robin said swallowing hard
"Noted sweetie, now save your boyfriend from Bruce's quantum physics talks before he turns him into an employee of Wayne Industries or worse our physics tutor" Barbara said turning to the boy for the last time
"Thanks babs" Dick said with a smile bowing to say goodbye like the gentleman he was
Dick quickly returned to where the two men were and hooked his arm with Wally's
"Sorry to interrupt but I promised Wally I'd show him the gardens" Dick said dragging the boy away from his father
"Take care of him with your life young man" Bruce shouted at Wally
"Don't worry sir I'll do it" Wally said back
"And that?" Dick asked as they stepped out into the darkness of the night
"Just physical stuff honey" Wally said
"Yeah sure" Dick said not believing a thing
Wally sighed in relief that Robs was more interested in knowing about his talk with Bruce than his slip of the tongue
The two boys walked through the garden and came to a chapel decorated with beautiful lights that gave a very nice atmosphere
They could both hear the music playing at a low volume and Wally smiled before bowing and offering his hand to the younger boy "Would you grant me this dance?"
Dick laughed and accepted the hand "Sure"
Wally pulled him closer and placed his hands on his hips while Dick placed them on his shoulders
The two men began to swing and spin around the garden chapel while Dick laughed and Wally smiled
Wally could see his lover's bright eyes and Dick could see Wally's soft expression as he led him in that fantastic dance
The two smiled like fools without noticing the totally in love looks that were directed at each other
"Haven't they realized yet?" Jason asked looking from the window at the couple who danced totally disconnected from the rest of the world
"No" Roy said taking out his cell phone and taking some photos to send later to the group chat of the titans of the east
"God they are stupid" Damian said suddenly appearing and looking at the couple who continued dancing with narrowed eyes
"Should we follow Babs' plan and lock them in a closet to kiss?" Tim asked
"Not yet kids, let them figure it out for themselves" Bruce said grabbing both young men to take them back to the living room
He winked at Roy and Jason as he left with the little ones and they both laughed as they continued to stare a little longer at the young couple who weren't together yet before heading down the hall so they could kiss in some spare room
Chapter 5: The brother-in-law's visit
Chapter Text
"Hey Dick, where did you keep it?" Jason asked, searching through his brother's room
"Look in the drawers, it has to be somewhere," Dick said from the bathroom
Jason continued searching through his brother's drawers, he opened the desk drawer and found some envelopes
He began to open them to read them and see if they contained what he was looking for, but instead of containing the letter Bruce asked him to pick up, he found love letters addressed to his brother, always signed by the same person, a certain W
"Umm, interesting," Jason said
"And this?" Jason asked, picking up the envelopes with Dick's name on them when his brother came out of the shower with a new pair of clothes
"That's not what you came for" Robin said with a frown
"Whose are they?" Jason asked in his gossipy voice
"I don't know" Robin said going to the desk and opening the second drawer on the left to grab the envelope Jason had come to the tower for
"Who is the mysterious W?" Jason asked
Robin grabbed the letters and put the envelope Jason had come to visit him for in his hand
"I just know that apparently it's someone I know and that he knows me well because he's been giving me gifts lately" Robin said with a smile
"Like what?" Jason asked interested
Dick began to tell him about the different gifts he had been receiving lately like flowers that he liked, poems, books and a state of the art hacking computer
"Wow" Jason said impressed "And roy gave me a katana for my last birthday"
"You know we had to go to the north pole to get that katana right?" Dick asked
"Oh yeah, he told me the story" Jason said with a smile
"So you like that person?" Jason asked, resting his hands on his face and looking at his brother as he laid down on his bed
"They're nice touches, but I already have someone else I like" Robin said "I can't really turn him down because I don't know who it is"
"Does that mean you're going to do something for KF?" Jason asked
"I don't know" His older brother complained as he threw himself on the bed and hugged a pillow
"I don't even know if he likes men" Robin said looking at the black haired young man
"Oh come on Dick Wally has had hundreds of bisexual encounters in bars, Roy told me mostly so I can laugh at him for being an idiot" Jason said
"And what makes you think he would like me?" Robin asked
"I'd be stupid if he didn't, don't let it go to your head, but VOGUE magazine wanted you as their model, you're smart, good at talking, you have people skills and you know how to fight" Jason said grabbing his brother's hands and lifting him out of bed
"Anyone would sell their kidney to go out with you" Jason said "Now go set up a date that that idiot will never forget, I'm going to deliver this" he said pointing at it
"Thanks Jason" Dick said with a grateful smile
"Don't mention it, seriously if I hear you mention this to anyone I'll throw you off the fourth floor" Jason said with half his body out of the window
"I have to stop leaving you alone with Bruce, he's making you closed off" Dick said frowning
"I'm moving in with Roy soon so don't worry about it" Jason said before jumping out the window
The Titans of the East were quietly eating when Kid Flash noticed the edge of a sword in his neck
"Hey Jaybird" Roy said continuing to eat his steak and potatoes
"Hey sweetie" Jason said with a smile to his partner that turned into a frown when he looked back at the speedster who had his hands raised in a sign of peace
"Listen to me you canned carrot, if you hurt my little brother I'll slit your throat" Jason said bringing his sharp sword closer to the speedster's jugular
"I would never hurt dick" Kid Flash said swallowing hard
"You better" Jason said stabbing a dagger into the chair next to his head cutting off the ends of his hair before leaving the way he came but not without kissing Roy first
"Your boyfriend scares me" Kid Flash said when he could breathe normally again
"It was about time" Roy said shrugging his shoulders "I thought he would threaten you after the dance"
"Well you at least have the family's approval" Bumblebee said trying to get something positive out of the interaction
"I'm so dead" Wally lamented
"You're the one who wanted to go for the big fish" Aqualad said shrugging
"Because Dick is amazing and deserves to be conquered like a king" Wally defended himself
"Then you're going to meet knights if you want to see the king" Roy said with a smile

"Dick can you come over? Since Jason moved in with Roy there's no one cooking around here" Tim said on the call with his brother
"What about Alfred?" Robin asked
"He went to a delicatessen convention for a week" Tim said
Dick sighed "I'll be there in 20"
"Thanks" Tim said happily before hanging up
"Did you cook?" Bruce asked when he got home and found the table set and his two children waiting patiently
"No" Tim said with a smile
"They should start learning how to cook" Dick said entering with a pot in his arms which he left on the table
"Alfred banned us from the kitchen" Damian said
"Hey Bruce" Dick said with a smile lifting the lid to show Rice with fennel inside the pot
"I didn't know you were coming" Bruce said sitting down at the table
"I wasn't going to, but Tim called me and asked me to cook" Dick said sitting down in his seat
Bruce looked at a smiling Tim who had picked up his plate to put some food on it
"I'm starting to think we should hire a personal chef" Bruce said thoughtfully
"Considering that Dick, Jason and Alfred are out of the house I would say yes, since you won't let me near the knives" Damian said
"Damian you have 8, you don't need to cook for us and you better stay away from sharp things" Bruce said
"Oh but I do?" Jason said entering the room
"Where do you come from?" Tim asked
"You know you cook because you want to and not because we force you jay-jay" Damian said mockingly sticking his tongue out at him
"Dick called me, he said there was a family lunch" Jason said sitting in his place between Dick and Bruce
"You need to eat more vegetables" Dick said pointing at him with his fork
"Shut up, you're starting to sound like Roy" Jason said before putting a bite of food from his brother's plate in his mouth
Batman watched his children talk and argue as they ate and simply smiled happy to have his family together again at home even if it was just for a day
Notes:
I looked for Romani food and decided on Rice with fennel

Chapter Text
Kid Flash was patrolling the streets of Jump City when a young mouth downstairs got in his vision
"Do you do something on Saturday?" Robin asked hung face down a lamppost
"No?" Said Kid Flash trying to stop thinking about recreating Spiderman's kiss
"Do you want to accompany me to a Christmas market?" Robin asked with a smile
"Of course," said Kid Flash with a smile
"Okey, it's an date then" said Robin happy before disappearing in the air
Kid Flash Flashing baffled from how someone who wore striking colors could quickly evaporate from the presence of people without doing a sound
"Wait, have he said it is an date?" ask Kid Flash in the air remembering the last thing Robin said
"SPEEDY" Screaming Wally in panic
The East Titans were quietly playing cards at home until they heard Wally's shout calling Roy
"Either something good has happened to him or he screw up" Roy said without looking up from the game of UNO who was playing
"Maybe help," said Aqualad that he had turned in the direction of where he believed that the shout came
"No, it's a shout of" I need help with my crush" not a "I need help to defeat 50 villains" said Bumblebee throwing a seven blue
"Umm" said more shrugging
"It will tell us when it comes," said less
It was Saturday and Wally was in a pink cloud. He was caught by the hand with Dick while the young man dragged him in a stand
Wally wore dark blue jeans, next to a scientific slogan shirt, a red wool sweater and a brown fat coat. Robin wore black joggers with pockets, a white shirt with a side pocket, next to some converse used white and an elegant black winter coat.
Not to mention the jewelry, the young redhead wore a cross -shaped black earrings in his ears next to a gold chain that had given to him from iris in one of his birthdays and a smart watch while Dick wore an analog gold watch that Bruce had given him for his last birthday, some silver rings on his fingers with some Roman signs and a silver reliquary with a photo of each of his parents and one where the three were together smiling happily
The two walked quietly through the posts, both had already bought some things and had saved them in their backpacks and now they simply continued to observe what the vendors offered
"Hey West look" said Robin
"Since when am I West?" Wally asked, but he shut up when he saw what Robin pointed out
They were beautifully made glass figures, there were from animals to landscapes and some people, there were also objects and vehicles. All made of a beautiful color glass.
Wally stared at Robin and kid flash laughing crystal figure, the colors shone and it was a beautiful piece to collect or expose
The older lady who run the stand looked between both young people and the figure
"A beautiful figure, right? I still remember the day when I get the image," said the old lady remembering "was a strange day, the rivalry of both was still then not like now that something has calmed each other, I remember having them seen laughing like the teenagers who were and simply had to go home and carve the image to be remembered "
"Do you do them?" ask Dick looking at the collection of figures
"Yes, Crystal carving is a skill that comes from my family" said the lady with a smile
"What is the figure worth?" Wally asked with a smile
"200 dollars" said the lady
Wally took his credit card and payment, the lady returned a bag with the figure well saved in her
"Thank you," Wally said with a smile
"You're welcome, enjoy the night" said the old lady
"You also," Robin said with a smile before leaving with Wally
The two boys continued walking for the posts and when they were hungry they went to look for something to eat around
They ended in a park playing among the snow, the two young men laughed lying on the floor
"I can't believe that I am having a good time," said Robin between laughs
"Oh, and I thought we had stopped hating ourselves" Said Kid Flash making a pot while he got up from the ground
"I don't hate you, it's simply rare spending time without shouting," Robin said with a smile raising and grabbing the hands of the redhead, "I missed this"
"Yes, it's more beautiful to see your smile than your frown" Wally said with a smile looking at the young man in the eye
Robin laugh "If you keep saying things like that you will make me think that you love me"
"Actually ..." Wally began to say, but an explosion offers them both
"But what?" Robin said seeing an explosion in the distance
"Was that not the fireworks position?" ask Wally looking at the hill on fire
"Surely something happened and exploded" said Dick
The two saw a firefighter truck and police cars go to the mountain
"Should we go?" ask Wally insecure
"I think they have it covered. You said ..." Dick said looking at the young redhead while by the corner of his eye he saw how firefighters came to the place
"Well, I just wanted to ask you if ..." Another explosion sounded
"¿You know what? wait a minute" Wally said before disappearing in the air
A minute later the fire was undermined and the technicians could continue with the show with the other material that did not explode
Wally returned to the place where he had left Robin and said "Would you like to go out with me?" Once he get to your side
Dick smiled "I would love"
Chapter 8: Discovering who is behind the cards
Chapter Text
Robin and Kid Flash had been dating 9 months, civilians loved them and were delighted by the new relationship of their favorite rivals, everyone loved a good enemie to lovers
The fun thing is that during those nine months Robin had forgotten the secret admirer, he had not sent him more cards or gifts until today. That had given him a beautiful figure throws of Robin and Kid Flash.
Robin looked at the figure he had placed on his desk and thought
"Would it be a good idea to visit him?" Wondered out loud
"Yes" Jason said
"Shit, Jason, since when are you here?" Robin asked threatening him with a katana
"I arrived a few minutes ago" Jason said with a smile "So you finally discovered it?"
"That apparently my secret admirer and my boyfriend are the same person?" Robin said
"Bruce wants you to bring him to dinner this Sunday" Jason said with a smile
"It's good to see what they approve" said Dick
"I'll go tell Roy so he can stop complaining about how idiots you are" said Jason
"I love you too little brother" Dick said with a smile
"See you on Sunday Dick" Jason said saying goodbye before fleeing through the window
Wally was in his room studying for some exams he had next week when a child entered his room and rolled
"Hi love" Wally said without looking up from his notes
"Hello W" Dick said with a smile
Wally left the notes to look at his boyfriend
"So you finally discover it?" Wally said
"Well you gave me the statue we bought at our first date," Robin said approaching the table
"Maybe I was tired of games" Wally said
Dick I hug him "Where did you find a photo of my parents?"
"It cost me a few months and many favors, but everything is possible if you know the indicated people" Wally said with a smile
"Thank you" Dick said kissing his cheek
"When you want dear" Wally said with a smile
"Bruce wants us to eat on Sunday at the mansion" said Dick
"Family dinner?" ask Wally
"That seems" said Dick
"I would love it" said Wally
"I'll tell him then" Dick said with a smile before jumping out the window
Wally looked at the place where his boyfriend was gone and smiled "he had the best boyfriend in the world"
