LETS TAKE IBUPROFEN ............ TOGETHER ..............

"And how was I supposed to know that?" was a thought that had crossed his mind a few times now. But this was a bit too much fun for him to start feeling down about not knowing things about himself that SHOULD be obvious. Well, obvious to most people at least. But he wasn’t most people. +

A playful roll of his eyes, Bart always did have some comment he couldn't never expect — A pain in some ways & his favorite in others. "You know I could always just waterboard you at any time." Kon replied — a smirk following his empty threat as he fully rinsed the speedster's hair. ++

Bart smiled, squeezing the kid's shoulder. ❝ If you are ever in trouble call me and I'll be there in —literally— no time at all. Now! Tell me more about those summer projects! ❞

He nods slowly, as if processing the information. "Yeah, I... we are."

💥/: Bart beimg actually decent at mentoring children was NOT on my bingo

❝ I'm sure he trusts you, ❞ well, his Batman at least. As much as they could trust someone, that is. ❝ and I am sure you are an amazing Robin, Klovy. But that doesn't mean you can’t ask for help uf you need it, we are all a team, aren't we? ❞

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"I have to! I'm Robin, and I have to be a good Robin, Batman needs to know he can trust me, that's why I can do stuff alone".

❝ I know you can, Klovy. But you shouldn't have to. ❞

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"Then maybe I should go, I like making new friends! Also, I'm fine, I'm a grown-up, I can take care of myself, but thank you so much".

❝ I dunno. I found it pretty boring, but it’s great for making friends! Are you alright? Like... Physically? I'm still working on getting you back home, I promise. ❞

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"Yeah! I mean I didn't work only in that, I was studying bombs and stuff like that, mostly disarming, because that's important too" then he looks at him a bit lost "should I go to school? I don't know, whatchu think?"

❝ Cool! Will you show me? I'd love to see what new ideas you came uo with! Are you ready for sc- Do you even want to go to school? ❞

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"I'm great! I spent the summer trying new stuff for my flamethrower, I promise I didn't burn anything important".

❝ Nothing much! Getting back to the rhythm of things, ❞ Klov'r had missed the vacation, which... was probably for the better given the weird stuff that went on. But he was making sure he made it for the winter holidays! ❝ How are you? ❞

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"Hello! Hi, uh, what's up?" Klov'r offers a peace sign.

❝ Hi, buddy! ❞ Where the hell did he just come from?!

𝑲𝑳𝑶𝑽'𝑹 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝒀𝑺𝑶𝑵@flamerobin.bsky.social · 4d ago

"Where's my uncle Bart?"

Great! Like, the yearly vacations were EVENTFUL! But a ton of fun! And I am starting uni again soon.

... Yes, right. Oh, but look at you! How have you been?

Don't worry, we might have all died if you didn't jinx- let's not talk about it.

Sorry, Bart. I was looking forward to it.

Ily, but DUDE

Anyway.

❝ You're taller than me, up is the only way I can kiss, ❞ he joked before getting his head under the water. Turns out there is a way to make him stop talking. He listened to the instructions, nodding along very slightly. He'd need to remind himself, at this point shaking his head dry was an +

"I do what I can." Kon replied with a tone of cockiness, his smile stretched ear to ear at the compliment he recieved with a chuckle. "Kiss up." He'd add, letting his fingers work through Bart's hair until he were properly lathered up with soap bubbles. "Hmm..Alright." ++

❝ I don’t lie, Klarion, I suck at it. My entire lying bandwidth is spent on secret identity stuff! It was an open invite! And I like you, so you were invited. ❞

❝ You'd still be the hotter and more presentable Superboy if we switched routines, ❞ Bart had accepted fairly quickly that he really knew nothing about his own hair. He leaned his head back a little bit, enjoying how it felt to have Kon's fingers massaging his scalp— ❝ Hey! I washed it +

"I have everything necessary to keep me looking hot and presentable as the cooler Superboy running around. Well, besides Clark — young Clark. Prime, though?" He'd pretend to spit before pushing foul thoughts away in turn for his focus to shift to Bart. "All this? Huge difference, trust." ++

Bart was about to say that made no sense because his hair was just like his mom's... And then he thought about Jenni's hairstyle and his brief runs through the century and realised something: her hair might just be a fashion choice. Like the weird choices you could see in pictures from the 80s. +

"It's not—" Kon finally released him, working with the shower to get the water running. Dipping his hand under the running faucet, he'd do a quick temperature check before switching on the shower head. "Unruly. You're treating your hair like it's straight and simple because you lived with ++

Bart had accepted his fate as a mix of ragdoll and one of those weird busts of barbie dolls kids used to play hairdresser with. He let Kon drag him, still confused by the whole thing. He had no clue what he meant by any of that... he was doing as he was taught? ❝ TLC is the makeovers one. ❞ +

"Admittedly — Me neither, BUT there's a time and place. You're not even aware how bad this is, there's no way I could even consider any other reason for you to strip. Now—!" Bart in his hold, now mostly undressed — Kon gave a nod of his approval before he began ushering the other away. ++

@impulsivespeedster.bsky.social “Sooooo… how was the party!”

❝ That is not how I thought you'd ask that. ❞ If he didn’t joke about it, he would have to deal with the way the question made him feel. Which was weird because Bart had never been particularly shy. Still, he zapped from under Kon's fingers and came back wearing only his swimming trunks before +

A deep, prolonged exhaled drawn in through the man's nose while hands would slip to Bart's shoulders. "Bart.." There's almost exhaustion to his tone. "Take off your clothes."

#TitanSummerween It was as if the torture had been specifically meant to hurt him. To make him feel anxious. Everywhere he looked, the world stopped just a little too early or got slightly too blurry. Angular at the seems. The world didn't seem quite real and Bart needed, wanted, begged to +

Lost in an unknown place. To some of you it looks like an endless hallway with a dimmed red light. Or you're stuck in an enclosed space. Or every place that you have been to, warped into a big, jumbled nonsense. There's always a way out.

Uh... I shake my hair to get the water off or use the dryer. It kind of depends on how willing I am to deal with that annoying sound. And then I brush it. You know, what everyone does? Except for the speed thing, obviously. [ He really couldn't see what Kon was getting at. ] It's what they told +

[ Her fingers wove gently through his locks with a partial groan — pinpointing the exact problem before even Bart himself could figure it out. It, of course, made sense. ] Bart, walk me through your routine, babe. Like after a shower?
