Summary: Part of the Drabble Series. Robin + Jinx = Bad nicknames and horrible misunderstandings. Part 1!
I don't own Teen Titans and while I would have liked to have more development between Kid Flash and Jinx, I'm glad they're technically a canon couple and even got to kiss in the comics! 8D
Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically-wise. I don't have time to re-read or edit things.
“Ahh, that stupid boy!”

“Ahh, that stupid boy!”
Jinx stewed in her
anger, pink eyes flaring with her volatile emotions. Stupid Kid Flash! Did he
really not understand just how not right it was for someone, who already had a
girlfriend, to be flirting with every single pretty girl he came across? Could
he really not see just how wrong that was? She had caught him for the umpteenth
time and instead of yelling at him, she had decided it would be better to just
walk away from it.
She had already
tried talking to him, but Kid Flash was obviously not going to listen to
reason. He didn’t even take her words seriously, laughing cheerfully and saying
she was just over-thinking things before zipping away. That or he’d apologize,
melting her anger away with a kiss on the cheek.
...she was such a
sap.
Ugh, maybe he
really didn’t care all that much about her... maybe she was just another pretty
face for him to stick with for a few weeks before he switched it up with
another girl. Other than when they had first met, he didn’t really compliment
her other than the normal boyfriend duties.
Ignoring the hurt,
Jinx inhaled deeply before heading to the gym. Maybe a little workout was
needed for her to clear her mind. Normally the gymnasium was empty around this
time and she liked how spacious the place was, giving her enough room to do as
many flips as she wanted. Unfortunately, the thought turned sour when she saw
boy blunder spinning around. She made a u-turn to leave when her day got even
worse.
“Jinx?”
She cringed and
turned around. “Hey bird brain.”
Robin scowled. “Do
you have to call me names all the time?”
“Think of a nickname
for me too then, I won’t complain.”
“Alright then,
Jinxie,” he said, smirking when she scowled at him.
“You do know Kid
Flash calls me that too, right? It’s disturbing if you use the same endearment
as my boyfriend, no matter how much the name annoys me.” She said looking
disgusted, though internally she winced at the last line. Boyfriend? Yeah,
sometimes she wondered about that.
Robin turned a bit
green. “Ugh, I think I’m going to hurl. I can’t believe you actually implied
that I gave you a term of endearment.”
“Get over it, boy
blunder. I hate the thought as much as you do.”
Robin groaned.
More nicknames? She never seemed to run out! But wait, if endearment terms made
her feel sick... his revulsion turned into a smirk. “Is that all you got, darling?”
Jinx stiffened
before she glared at him with unrestrained anger, her eyes glowing pink with
rage. “What did you call me?”
“Don’t get so mad,
sweetie. After all, we’re already calling each other by pet names.”
“Mine are hateful
names!” Jinx snapped, taking a step back with a look of horror on her face. She
could practically feel her skin crawling at hearing him calling her that. “Yours...
Yours are just plain creepy!”
“What’s wrong,
honey?” Robin drawled coolly, leaning against the pommel horse he had been
using before Jinx had come in. Now this was a nice change of events. She always
ruffled him the wrong way, but for once, it was the other way around. “Can’t
take the heat?”
“You’re the one
who should watch yourself, funny boy,” she cracked her fingers. Perfect, she
had a legal reason to vent her stress and what made it even better was that her
punching bag was the pain in the ass Robin.
“Bring it, darling.”
He said, raising his arms up as well. Oh good, a spar. He had been getting tired
practicing by himself anyways.
“Oh you are so
going to pay.” Jinx spoke lowly before the two began to circle each other. When
it came to hand-to-hand, Robin definitely had her beat. However, she wasn’t
some pushover and her powers were really handy when it came to beating up
smart-mouthed birds.
Robin was the
first to react, shooting out three batarangs at her. She leaped out of the way,
jumping up high and coming down fast with a kick. He caught her by the ankle
and spun, throwing her into the wall. Jinx went with the momentum, rolling on
the ground until she had her feet pressed against the wall. She launched from
it, flying towards Robin fast until a flurry of punches and kicks were
exchanged.
“What’s wrong,
sweet cheeks, is that all you got?” Robin taunted when the two broke apart,
both out of breath but still gearing to go.
Jinx narrowed her
glowing eyes. “Eat shit, you little porcupine!”
Robin spun in the
air, avoiding the sparks of her hexes when he lunged down from the ceiling to
kick her. Jinx leaped to the side, her eyes ablaze as she used her bad-luck to
make him lose his footing on the ground. Robin’s foot slipped and he fell onto
his back hard. He groaned, the back of his head having hit the ground really
hard.
A shadow slowly
descended upon him as Jinx sauntered towards him with her hands on her hips.
She gave him a cocky victorious smirk that had his blood boiling. “That the
best you got, Roby-poo?”
He glared at her
before smirking, his leg shooting out and hooking behind her ankle. It sent
Jinx careening backwards with a shriek until she was slammed down onto the
floor as well. Before she could recover, Robin rolled on top of her, pinning
her wrists down on top of her head as he straddled her wrist. He leaned close,
whispering tauntingly over her lips. “Not even close, darling.”
Ooh, she was going
to kill him.
And of course, it
was then that the door to the gymnasium opened. “Hey Robin, I got the files
that you wanted... what are you two doing?”
Jinx groaned. It
just had to be Cyborg who caught them in a compromising position. At least it
wasn’t Beast Boy. She waited, expecting Robin to get off of her quickly as
though he had been touching something disgusting, when, to her surprise and
mortification, he continued to sit on her. There was a vengeful smirk on his
face and Jinx felt chills run down her spine.
Great, what was
the idiot up to?
“Nothing, just
teaching darling here a little lesson.” He said cockily.
Cyborg’s eyes
bugged out while Jinx’s body quaked with anger. “Stop calling me with those stupid
names!”
“I won the spar so
I think I have the right to call you whatever I want,” Robin said with a sneer,
“sweetie.”
“Don’t make me hex
you to the next dimension, bird boy,” Jinx threatened, struggling to get out of
Robin’s grip. She was strong, but he was a lot stronger than her... and
apparently he had a strong pain tolerance as well since his hands were sizzling
from where pink sparks were flaring on where he was holding onto. That or his
gloves were giving him a little protection. “Believe me, it won’t be pretty.”
“I’m quaking in my
boots.”
“Uh... hello?
Love-birds, I’m still here you know!” Cyborg said waving his hand in the air to
catch their attention.
Pink and masked
eyes were now the ones bugged out. The two separated each other faster someone
with super-speed could, both crawling backwards before they realized the cause
of their disgust. Two pairs of enraged eyes turned to Cyborg who took a fearful
step backwards.
“Love-birds? Are
you kidding me?” Robin roared.
“That is the
nastiest thing I’ve ever heard in my life and I’ve lived with the HIVE!”
“The mere
implication is enough to make me hurl! How could you say something like that?
As if I would ever go for someone like her of all people.”
Jinx groaned. “Believe
me, I don’t see how anyone would find someone who always looks as though he sticks
a fork in the outlet every morning attractive!”
“At least my hair
looks normal compared to yours, sweetie,”
Robin said through gritted teeth, running his hand self-consciously through his
hair.
“Of course, my
entire existence is abnormal! What’s wrong with my hair being the same?” Jinx
rolled her eyes, completely unbothered by his comment. She had heard enough of
that growing up that it didn’t bother her as much as it could have. That didn’t
mean it was any less annoying though. The horns were stylish, damn it! ...and
maybe they also reminded her of a horse-shoe placed upright for good luck...
“That-That, I
didn’t mean that you weren’t normal or anything!” Robin sputtered. Having grown
up surrounded by people who were ‘different’ than others, he had gotten
sensitive to words that might imply that those people were somehow freaks.
Jinx’s eyes
widened in surprise at the sudden change of his tone before she scowled darkly,
stupid heroes and their sentimentality. She spoke moodily, self-consciously
crossing her arms. “I never said you were, blunderboy.”
The nickname
immediately snapped him out of his guilt and he scowled. “Back to pet names,
darling?”
“Only for you,
Roby-poo,” she sneered while mockingly blowing a kiss at him, strolling off
towards the door that led out of the gymnasium. Jinx left behind a Robin who
was practically sizzling with his own anger.
Cyborg looked at
Robin, then at where Jinx left, before he looked back at Robin again. “Is there
something you want to tell me, Roby-poo?”
“This incident
will never be spoken of again... ever.”
“Roger that.” Cyborg
grinned ear to ear. “Roby-poo.”
