A/n's Pov

I wrote this story a long time ago. I only published it on Wattpad, and I really liked this story, so I'm republishing it here. Though I did tinker with it. (So, it doesn't sound like a 10-year-old wrote it.) I still have the original on my Wattpad account if you guys are interested. I really hope you guys like it. Sorry if some of the characters seem out of character!

Narrator's Pov

Summer has just ended, and the first day of school has been going smoothly so far for Y/n. However, all that peace was about to change when she turned around the corner.

Y/n's Pov

I turned the corner heading to class only to feel my butt hit the floor as a cold substance hit my new shirt, drenching it along with my textbooks. I looked up to see who I bumped into, but I wasn't surprised to see-

Robin Arellano, AKA the strongest guy in school, AKA my brother's best friend, and also- my bully.

People were starting to stare, so I ran toward the girl's bathroom before he or anyone else could say anything.

Narrator's Pov

You stared in the mirror at your newly soaked shirt, trying your hardest to dry it.

Robins Pov

Ok! This year is the year where I won't mess things up!

I thought as I walked down the hallways with Finney, my best friend.

I was holding Y/n's favorite drink. I bought it for her in hopes that today would be the day where I get the chance to finally explain everything to her. To tell her that I never meant to hurt her. I never wanted her to be afraid of me or to think I was trying to bully her. Truth is, I really like her, and I hope she’d see that once I give her this.

Though when I turned the corner, I felt someone bump into me, and to my horror, it was Y/n!

I felt so bad at that moment! And what's even worst was that I couldn't even focus! She was wearing a white shirt!

I stood there, blushing like an idiot, as she ran to the bathroom before I could even say anything!

STUPID HORMONES!

Finney's Pov

I facepalmed as I watched my sister running away, crying again.

Honestly, I'm getting quite sick of this cycle. Every year it's the same thing. Robin tries to confess his love to my sister, but something always ends up ruining it last minute, and she ends up running away crying. Ultimately making Robin feel horrible, and he tries to make it up to her, thus repeating the cycle all over again.

I kneeled next to robin as we both picked up Y/n's books.

"Sigh~"

"Was it that bad?" He asked with a depressed face.

"Honestly, I've seen you do worst," I said. We both ended up laughing at that inside joke.

Don't get me wrong, I love robin, he's my best friend, but he's not exactly good with girls. Or at least the ones he's into. I mean, he's a nice guy and all, so I know he would treat my sister right, but she would never believe that. It's why I've been trying to help him get with her.

Though, of course, Robin being Robin- He wants to do it his way, the 'manly' way.

"Sigh~ I'm gonna go check on her. Here you take these."

I handed him her books.

"Yeah, alright. I have first-period with her, so I'll give her my textbooks since I kind of destroyed her new ones."

"Right." I walked off.

“I hope she didn’t write any notes in here…” Robin muttered as he walked off to his first-period class.

Time skip!~

Narrator’s Pov

You were currently sitting in your newly assigned seat as the teacher continued seating everyone. Your face morphed into a frown when you heard the teacher place robin right beside you.

Y/n's Pov

Oh great. Why him out of all people!? He already destroyed my shir- “Gasp!” Wait, my books!

You suddenly felt a tap on your shoulders. You looked over to see Robin holding up some textbooks. He placed them on your desk.

"Here, you can use mine since I kind of destroyed yours... Look, I'm really-"

"Mr. Arellano and Ms. L/n, why aren’t your textbooks out and turned to page 394!?" (Not my young self quoting professor Snape 😭) Said Mr. Johnson.

"Oh, sorry sir, I-" Robin wasn't even able to finish his sentence after hearing you gasp. One look at your face, and he knew he messed up somehow.

When Robin saw what you were looking at, he panicked.

You were currently looking at an adult magazine that leaves little to the imagination. Robin simply forgot that he had hidden it inside his textbooks.

Instantly the teacher grabbed it. "DETENTION FOR A WHOLE WEEK FOR YOU, Miss. L/n! AND YOU, Mr. Arellano, if you don’t get your behind in a seat right this second, I won’t hesitate to give you one too!"

You just sat there looking at Robin. Mouth open in shock.

How could he... THAT JERK!

Time skip!~ *Lunch*

Finney's Pov

"Wait, wait, wait! So let me get this straight. You handed my sister your textbook thinking it was your history book, but it was actually your old history book that held Vance's magazine, which you forgot to give back to him. Ultimately gotten my sister a whole week of detention, and you get away scot-free…"

"Yup. That sounds about right..." Robin covered his face in shame.

I couldn't hold it in anymore; I burst out laughing right then and there. I never met anyone who could mess up more than me regarding to girls they like.

"Hey, Finn... Come on, help me out here! What am I supposed to do now!"

"Alright, alright! First, we talk to Mr. Johnson and explain everything."

"I can't do that! Vance will kill me if I rat him out!"

"Are you serious right now!?" I looked at him as if he just spoke in gibberish.

“Look. I’m not a snitch.”

"Yeah, but MY sister has A week of detention because of YOU. If my dad finds out that she was in possession of an adult magazine- She would NEVER see the light of day again."

The last part scared me a little. Thinking about what he would do to her...

"Don’t worry. I’m not a snitch, but I ain’t about to let someone else take a punishment that wasn’t meant for them."

"Ok, great! But what about your mom? One more detention, and you’re grounded for a month, remember?” I looked at him skeptically. “Do you really like my sister that much? I mean, you will be missing out on the new chain saw massacre movie.”

"I know, but I can't let Y/n get beat for something she didn't do. Also, if I do get detention, which I most likely will, can you cover for me?"

“As always~” I draped my arm on his shoulder as we walked down to Mr. Johnson’s classroom.

"Thanks, man." And with that, he walked inside.

What a brave man...

Time skip!~

Narrator's Pov

Robin and Finney were currently in their shared free period thinking up ways for how Robin where to confess to Y/n without fail.

Finney's Pov

"Alright, so you and Y/n have gym next period. Gwen told me that you guys have a sub today, so you can play whatever you want. That gives you the opportunity to hang out with Y/n without getting distracted or risk the possibility of her getting hurt."

"Right, right. I like where this is going." Robin nodded his head in approval.

Time skip!~

Narrator's Pov

You and Robin, along with everyone in your gym class, stood in the middle of the room, waiting for instructions.

Robin’s Pov

Alright, Robin! This is your chance! Don't blow it!

Instantly Robin's eyes grew as he saw his gym teacher walking through those doors.

"Yeah yeah! Listen up, maggots! I know what your gonna say! You’re gonna say, 'awe, what! He's here! But this is today's last gym class, and he hasn't been here all day! So why now?'" he said with a little girly voice. "WELL, IT’S BECAUSE MY LITTLE GIRL GOT SICK, SO I HAD TO RUSH HOME! BUT NOW THAT SHE FEELS BETTER, I WAS ABLE TO COME BACK AND TORTURE YOU ALL-r- I mean, teach you all!"

Man, this teacher’s sadistic...

"And today! We are playing… Dodgeball! AND I'M PICKING TEAMS!" He said mockingly as he smiled at all the kids frowning faces.

Oh God, please! Please! Let me be on Y/n's team!!!

Narrator's Pov

Long story short, he wasn't put on her team.

Time skip!~

"Move it, ugly!" A boy in Y/n's team pushed past her to get closer to the balls.

As the whistle blew, the game began.

Short-time skip!~

As the game was near to an end, Y/n got hit by a dodgeball... In the back of the head... By someone on her own team...

One thing’s for sure; Robin was not happy. As he witnessed you walking slowly to the bleachers, he saw tears in your eyes as you held your head. You were always a sensitive one.

Though that scene did anger him greatly.

Robin's Pov

When I saw that ball hit Y/n... It was as if time slowed down... I felt the adrenaline burst through me, and I knew I just had to do something.

Narrator's Pov

Robin, being the only person left on his team, stood against three other guys.

He had no ammo on his side, and the other boys had two balls each.

Quickly, a ball came flying toward him. He dodges, quickly grabs the ball, and uses it to dodge the other one. Thus leaving him with two balls in his hands.

He threw one of the balls toward the boy with no ammo, blocking the guy's sight for only a split second. The guy dodged as expected, but Robin used the other ball as a surprise attack. Eliminating the guy out of the game within seconds.

Now they’re only two, and he's back to no ammo...

The two boys looked at each other and started throwing all the balls they had in hand toward him.

Robin ran towards the dodgeballs but quickly fell to his knees, bending his back and sliding just in time, dodging them all. This caused his team to start cheering.

It even made you smile. He saw that smile... He got hit directly in the face because of it. The force knocked him on his back. He laid there ready for defeat but then...

"ROBIN THE BALL! CATCH IT!"

He heard your voice, and it was as if time had stopped for a split second once again.

When the ball hit Robin's face, he fell flat to the ground, but the ball bounced up toward the ceiling, which means that the ball was falling perfectly toward his laid-out body.

Within a split second, Robin extended his dominant hand and grabbed the ball before it touched the floor.

The crowd went wild, even the other team was cheering, but that wasn't important to him. What was important was that you believed in him. This made him think that maybe you didn't hate him...

Robins's team ran towards him with cheer as they prepared to fight. Ten against one. But Robin didn't want that.

Robin's Pov

"Hey, wait... Time out."

The whistle blew when he said that. He huddled with his team...

"What the heck Robin? We can easily get him." Said, Billy.

"No... I need to do this alone." Robin glanced at you when he said the last part.

The team, filled with boys, understood and returned to the bleachers.

"Hey, what are you doing? You can’t return to the bleachers; you're all back in!" Said the couch.

The team looked at each other. Then they all took one step back, crossing the line, disqualifying them all for stepping out of bounds.

This made you wonder...

Y/n's Pov

What in the world is Robins's team doing?! Why would they just leave him like that!?

You were mad but intrigued.

Narrator's Pov

As the whistle blew, the game began once again. Now it's a one-on-one battle between Robin and the guy who hit you in the back of the head.

Robin gave him a death glare as he held one ball. The other kid had two... It was an intense stare-down until the boy made the first move. He ran, jumping high as he threw the ball toward Robin’s head. Robin dodged and made a counterattack. Throwing the ball insanely fast... He missed.

The ball made a loud bang against the gym wall as the two boys grabbed another ball. It went on like this till the couch blew the whistle.

"Five more minutes till we pack it all up!" He yelled as he returned to reading his newspaper in the corner of the room.

By this point, Robin and the other kid were a sweaty mess. But this didn't stop him. He was still mad. Lucky for him, the boy didn't have any more balls at his side, so he grabbed two.

He did the same trick to the first guy he eliminated. He threw one ball as a distraction and made the death strike. Hitting the guy in the side of his face, eliminating him.

Once again, time slowed down for Robin as he heard the crowd roar. He saw his opponent fall slowly, but when he followed the ball with his own eyes. His smile slowly dipped down to a frown, and then reality hit, and it hit hard.

"Ahh..." Y/n's yelped was silenced by the crowd's cheers as she fell to the ground.

Double kill.

Robin’s Pov

My heart sank fast when I saw Y/n get hit by the ball I threw.

I ran up to her and got on my knees.

"Are you ok?!" I said in-between breaths.

She got on her knees, and I saw her nose start to bleed a little on the side where my ball hit her.

I felt terrible about it.

"H-here, let me help you!" I extended my hand out toward her, helping her up. She grabbed it.

The whistle once again blew.

"Alright, class! Games over! Now you all know the rules! No whiny losers in my gym! Losers clean up the mess! Winners do whatever till the bell ring."

"Umm, sir!" I yelled with my hand slightly above my head. "Y/n's nose is bleeding..."

"Take her to the nurse's office then... Oh, and take that kid too..."

I looked toward where he was pointing, and it was the kid that hit Y/n. He was passed out on the floor.

Jesus, was my hit that hard?

I sighed in slight annoyance as I picked his body up. Placing it over my shoulder.

I looked at Y/n; she was covering her nose with her hand. I nodded my head toward the gym doors signaling for us to go.

Y/n's Pov

God dame it! This is so embarrassing! Great job, Y/n! Ruining Robin's moment by getting injured unintentionally!

Why did I have to be there? I’m such a nuisance!

I closed my eyes tightly, scrunching up my face in anguish.

I didn't have to worry about Robin seeing me like this since I was behind him... My hand is still holding my bleeding nose.

I stared at him for a while...

Man, he's so strong. I can see why a lot of people are scared of him... But he is also pretty cute...

WAIT WHAT! No stop! What am I saying!? He hates me! Besides, if I fall for him... I would be making enemies out of all the girls in our grade!

Narrator's Pov

You two finally made it to the nurse's office. Robin placed the unconscious kid on the bed. While you sat on the bed next to it. Robin then grabbed the curtain covering that small side of the room.

The nurse was currently out somewhere doing who knows what. So it was just you too...

An awkward silence appeared as you and Robin just stared at each other for a good hot minute. As if you both were thinking the same thing.

Robin/Y/n's Pov

She's so...

He's so...

Cute.

Robin's Pov

"Well, um. I'm sure the nurse will be here soon. But in the meantime, let's get that nose fixed."

God, can I be any more awkward! I mentally facepalmed myself as I walked off towards the cabinets.

Now she should have some tissues somewhere... Ah! Here.

I grabbed it and then walked back toward Y/n.

Y/n's Pov

"Y-you don't have to..." I stuttered.

I couldn't even maintain eye contact with him. He's making me feel weird... Why am I so nervous... I mean, he hates me so... Why is he doing this.

"No, it's my fault why you’re here in the first place, so this is the least I could do." He said as he grabbed my chin to keep my head still as he whipped the blood off my top lip.

His hand felt so sticky, but his lips looked so glossy... WAIT...

You started to blush. Realizing how close he was to your face.

"Look, Y/n. I need to tell you something." Robin backed up and sat down on the stool next to the bed.

He looked directly into your eyes.

You blushed.

"I've been trying to tell you this for years…"

Oh god... What did I do now...

Robin’s Pov

"I've been trying to tell you this for years…"

I paused for a split second when I saw her face droop...

I shocked myself out of it. I looked down at my lap.

All the blood from my body rushed to my cheeks.

This is it. It's finally happening... I'm gonna tell her! How I really feel about her.

I looked up, "Estoy enamorado de ti!"

"W-what?"

If my face was red before... Well, it was bloodshot red now.

OUT OF ALL THE DAYS WHERE I SPEAK SPANISH ACCIDENTALLY! WHY NOW! WHY TODAY OF ALL DAYS!? THE WORST PART IS WHY TO HER!

I'm looking like a fool out here... Frozen in place.

"R-robin?"

Y/n's Pov

Robin's face was entirely red after what he said. He just sat there for a good minute, so I started waving my hand in front of him...

"R-robin?"

I leaned closer...

"Are you ok?"

"I-I..." He took a deep breath. Closing his eyes, he grabbed your shoulders and then...

Robin's Pov

Finney better be right about this... After all, he was the one who always told me to tell her how I felt. He said it would be worth it, sooo...

I did it. Just not with words...

AHAHAHAH!

I instantly parted my lips from hers; my face was already red from the heat, but hers... It was bright red. I smiled at that for a moment till someone cut me out of my moment...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A CRUSH ON Y/N ROBIN!? I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU! SHE'S BEEN CRUSHING ON YOU FOR YEARS! She was just in denial half the time- BUT STILL!"

I looked at Y/n. My hands are still holding her shoulders. She grew more flustered. It was written all over her face. It made me giggle.

"Though she thought you hated her for years." Gwen just kept on talking. She was clearly excited, but I didn't really care much. I just pulled Y/n closer and kissed her once more.

Danny's found a way to dodge GIW trackers, as well as his parents. Their equipment hunts ghosts, ghosts run on emotion; so as long as he keeps his under a tight lid and doesn't feel anything ever, they won't be able to track him.

It works!

He's able to run from them, and goes as far as New Jersey. The plan was to stow away on a ship, and go to literally any country that wasn't America. He goes to Gotham, which hosts the one harbor he knows where no one will ask any questions.

But because of how weird he acted (completely emotionless during a Joker attack), he was fingered by police immediately.

He's handed over to CPP. CPP doesn't know what to do with a teen literally so traumatized that they don't show any emotion at all, ever. He keeps just...walking out of his placements. Just leaves without a sound.

Luckily, he's always caught, due to those placement houses having quiet alarms and him refusing to run.

They call the one foster parent they know who does.

Bruce Wayne takes in the strange, nameless kid who refuses to talk.

On paper, they gave him the filler name of 'John Doe', for lack of anything better to do.

Bruce does everything he can to make the newest arrival feel at home. Damian, for as territorial as he is, actually breaks out of his shell sooner than expected just to try to get the new kid to speak. To emote. To do something. Duke tries the open approach, then tries the 'no one will ever know, everyone thinks I'm an innocent goody-two-shoes' approach. Nada.

Tim even tries to trick him into talking, but nothing works.

Enter Dick; Dick heard about Bruce's new ward, about the situation, and decided to see if he could get the kid to open up.

Danny though. Danny's in trouble.

The Wayne Manor is weirdly secure, and he can't just walk away like he did his other placements. He can't use ghost powers or the GIW and his parents will immediately know where he is.

He really, really wants to take Bruce up on his offer and just spend the day relaxing. Respond to Damian's attempts to provoke him. Overshare about space facts with Tim.

But most of all, he really, desperately wants to get in a Pun Competition with Dick. He wants to laugh at Dick's jokes, and learn coolass gymnastic tricks!

But he can't!

If he relaxes with Bruce, he'll be content, which is an emotion. If he argues with Damian, he'll get annoyed, which is an emotion. If he sneaks out with Duke and breaks the rules, he'll get happy, which, again, emotion. If he overshares with Tim, he'll get excited, which is, yet again, an emotion!

The worst sin of all, he can't even show proper appreciation of the food the Butler keeps making him!

And now there's even more people coming over!

There's a quiet girl who keeps reading his body language and trying to get him to dance ballet, a blonde girl who keeps trying to kidnap him to take him to BatBurger, a guy with a stripe of white who wants to take him to a shooting range, and it just...he really, really wants to!

He wants to do all these cool things with them!

But he fucking can't!
