Summary: Part of the Drabble Series. It was the little things that made Kid Flash even more attached to Jinx.
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.

The Little Things
HappyFace1886
It was the little
things that were the most important. Despite being the flamboyant cocky
teenager that he was, Kid Flash’s moments together with Jinx were somewhat
private.
They weren’t like
Robin and Starfire where the press seemed to hound their every movement, but
they also weren’t like Speedy and Cheshire where their relationship was a
complete and utter secret. (Kid Flash knew only because of Jinx, who,
apparently, was still on talking terms with Cheshire.)
Besides, even if a
magazine tabloid or newspaper gossip reporter dared to get near them, any
cameras or recording devices would blow up around Jinx... which several
industries had learned about the hard way.
Many would
actually claim that Kid Flash was too good for the likes of a reformed villainess
and this wasn’t simply due to her shady history. She was also the polar
opposite of the out-going, charismatic golden-boy superhero. Whereas Kid Flash
would light up the room with his presence, Jinx had the tendency to darken any
light-hearted atmosphere possible.
Thus, it was
surprising to many –especially the KF fans- that despite several years passing,
those two were still together and as close as ever.
Yet no one knew
why...
And Kid Flash had
no intention of sharing the reasons with any of them.
He refused, point
blank, to tell them about how it was the little things that made her even more
endearing to him, the way she’d curl up next to him on cold nights due to how
he –with his naturally fast metabolism- was basically a human furnace while
he’d cuddle against her because of how she was just so naturally nice and cool
against his heated skin. Jinx would fit so perfectly in his arms and sometimes,
even though he didn’t require much sleep due to his speedy nature, he’d
sometimes just spend hours holding her in his arms, running his hand through
her hair absentmindedly.
There was also how
despite her hard past, she’d look at him with trusting eyes she’d never show
anyone else. Not even the HIVE had the benefit of seeing those eyes. There was
a magical glint in those pink orbs, even if there was a haughty sneer on her
face or a dark scowl. She trusted him with everything. Even after all the
betrayals and hurt that she had faced in the past, she was willing to try
again, just for him. It was a look that left him breathless and wanting to hold
her tight all over again, to protect her from all the dark looks everyone would
cast her way.
No one would ever
know of how his heart would flutter like mad whenever she’d give him a smile
reserved just for him. It wasn’t one of her catty or salacious smiles or that
scary one she’d give in a particularly bloody fight. It was one of those shy
hesitant smiles that she’d give him whenever she thought he wasn’t looking or
when she thought he was asleep.
Jinx may not know
it, but Kid Flash had mastered the art of pretending to be asleep just because
he enjoyed how she’d quietly run her hand through his hair, a soft smile on her
face, and a tiny omission of her tough bad-girl exterior as she whispered how
much she loved him.
Nope, no way, not
even for all the money in the world would he tell a soul about this.
Because those were
the small things he loved about Jinx and it was for him and him only. And hero
or not, if someone got their hands on that information, there would be hell to
pay.

AU: Teehee, another side to the normally happy go-lucky golden boy amongst Superheroes. People always see Wally to be this happy kid with a pure heart... and while that's somewhat true, I think there's a deeper side to them. This, I feel, is especially so since in the comic book series, he went a little evil in an Alternate Universe where he lost the love of his life, Linda. Who's to say this Wally isn't the same, since he has the blue eyes of the AU-Wally while the canon universe has green eyes?
