Summary: Part of the Drabble Series. Robin + Jinx = Bad nicknames and horrible misunderstandings. Part 3!
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.
Robin grunted as he was thrown onto the sparring mat, his head still whirling from having been pulled along in super speed. He shook his head and then sat up, only to meet fiery blue eyes that smoldered with an anger he had never seen before. Still, Robin scowled. “What’s your problem?”

Robin grunted as he was thrown onto the sparring mat, his head still whirling from having been pulled along in super speed. He shook his head and then sat up, only to meet fiery blue eyes that smoldered with an anger he had never seen before. Still, Robin scowled. “What’s your problem?”
“That’s what I
want to ask you, Dick.” Kid Flash said through gritted teeth. “What’s going on
between you and Jinx?”
Oh god, not this
again. Robin was truly regretting starting the whole ‘sweet endearment’ fiasco
to piss Jinx off. It was way more trouble than it was worth. “For the last
time, nothing’s going on. Why would anyone even-.”
“Because for the
past few days, you’ve been calling her things like ‘sweetie’ and ‘honey’! Stuff
you would never say to even Starfire, much less Jinx!” Kid Flash blew up. When
he had first heard the rumors, he had brushed it away with a laugh. His Jinx
flirting with someone else? Get real. She was more likely to hex them if they walked
against her too close. But then he had personally witnessed it for himself
later, how Robin would call her those sweet nicknames and she’d yell at him,
her face red... from anger or embarrassment, he couldn’t be sure...
Robin yelled out,
throwing his hands up in the air. “It was to piss her off! Wasn’t that obvious?”
“...what?”
“Jinx and I hate
each other. It’s a given! Everyone knows that even though we’re on the same
side now, we don’t get along. So how do you think someone like her would react
when I call her by those names? They probably sound shitty coming from me since
she hates me! And since I hate her, of course I’d call her by those names! Her
suffering is my joy! But apparently I miscalculated since the moment I started
this stupid idea, I’ve been constantly getting hounded by people asking if there’s
something going on between us and now even you’re accusing me of-of I don’t
know and I don’t want to know!” he yelled, breathing hard by the time he was
done. Whew, it felt good letting it all out of his chest.
“So you... and
her... there’s really nothing going on?” Kid Flash asked weakly.
“Yes, there is
nothing. There never was and there never will be!” Robin shouted in frustration.
Kid Flash actually
fell backwards onto the ground in relief. Jinx wasn’t going out with Robin.
They weren’t flirting and being all lovey-dovey together behind his back. Shit,
he was always away in Central, but he had never really considered about the
possibility of Jinx finding another guy to like. After all, he was Kid Flash,
fastest boy alive! He was good looking and had all the brilliant charms! Who
else could she fall for?
...but Jinx was
really pretty too. He had become too comfortable with the fact that she didn’t
like other people –not to mention, didn’t have many friends since switching
sides- and would keep to herself more often than be with others. But... But
what if she found someone who became close to her and that person realized just
how cute and adorable Jinx could be? Kid Flash wasn’t stupid. Everyone thought
that Jinx was cold-hearted and mean, but if they knew the truth about her real
self... and then there was how Jinx had been pretty cold and snippy with him
lately.
...oh shit.
“KF, you okay?”
Robin asked in concern over how his normally talkative and hyperactive friend
had stopped moving. Heck, it looked like he had even stopped breathing!
“Robin, what do I
do?” Kid Flash yelled, zooming up and grabbing Robin by the shoulder. “I think
I’m going to lose Jinx at this rate!”
Robin arched an
eyebrow. “You finally took your head out of your ass to notice that?”
“What do you
mean?” the red head asked, bemused.
“Well,” Robin
drawled, looking away as though that would soothe the sting of the words he was
going to say. “You haven’t exactly been the most ideal of boyfriends.”
“What? I’ve been a
perfect gentleman! And how would you know that? How many dates have you gone
on, Mr. I’m-Married-To-Work?” Kid Flash squawked in a panic and Robin rolled
his eyes.
“I think I know
enough to say that you’re a complete idiot.” He said. “That and I often hear
the girls talking about it.”
“The girls
actually say that too?” Kid Flash said in disbelief. But he was Kid Flash! One
of the hottest teen superheroes around! “What do they say? C’mon, don’t keep a
guy hanging!”
“Get off of me,”
Robin shoved Kid Flash away when the alarmed speedster began to shake him at
hyper-speed “And they always talk about how you compliment every girl you
meet.”
“Well duh, how
could I not say nice things to a pretty girl when I see one?”
“And how do you
think Jinx feels about that?” Robin said in exasperation. “You two are
supposedly going out with each other-.”
“We are not supposedly going out! We are going out!”
Kid Flash said hotly.
“-and yet, the
boyfriend of the equation is still going around talking to girls as though he’s
still looking for a girlfriend.” Robin continued to deadpan. “It gives the
impression that you don’t really see Jinx as a girlfriend, but something sleazy
like a one-sided friend with benefits. But here you are, running around like a
crazy lunatic the moment stupid baseless rumors spread out that she’s flirting
with someone.”
“B-But I’m just
telling it as it is,” Kid Flash protested weakly. “They’re attractive, so
what’s wrong with telling them that?”
“Oh really?” Robin
challenged, wondering where his life had gone that he was now playing
relationship counselor with Kid Flash. And it was also to help his hateful
frenemy, Jinx. “Then you find nothing wrong with the idea of Jinx going up to
Bushido with a suggestive smile saying he’s ‘looking good’ as you told Wondergirl
once or her waltzing up to Aqualad saying ‘can’t a girl stop and chat with a
good-looking guy for a second’ as, if I recall correctly, you did with Raven?”
Kid Flash fell
silent.
“Not a pretty good
feeling, is it?”
“...No. Not a good
feeling at all.” The red head groaned as he sprawled on the sparring mats. “What
am I going to do, Dick? I tried talking to Jinx earlier and she just blew me
off... and I don’t think I exactly earned any brownie points by hounding her
about if she was flirting with you or not.”
“Eh, knowing Jinx,
she probably tried confronting you directly about your little habit and knowing
you, you probably just brushed her off. And since I haven’t heard her screaming
at you for a while, that means she’s not even paying attention to you flirting
with girls anymore.” Robin said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly at how
he was now the bearer of bad news. “Sorry to say this Wally, but if Jinx wants
to end things with you, I’m not sure how you can fix that.”
Kid Flash answered with a miserable
groan.
Eso le pasa por idiota...
