@taughtpain said “Does this happen a lot?” 

“You’d be surprised.” Batgirl’s hands are tied behind her back, she strains slightly against the rope. If she had to break out of it, she probably could. “Batman and Robin are already on the way.” She can hear them through the comms in her ear, as well as Hood’s comments. “We’ll be fine. Just don’t do anything stupid.”

“yeah,   doesn’t   mean   you   should,   robby.   sit   down.“   daniel   points   out,   his   voice   isn’t   an   order,   but   there   is   a   gentle   command   in   the   way   he   presses   the   hand   on   the   other’s   shoulder,   to   keep   him   sitting   down.   “practice   can   wait   another   day.   just   take   the   time   to   fully   heal.“   daniel   points   out,   a   smile   on   his   lips.   his   body   too   aches   from   fighting,   but   he   can   endure   it   knowing   the   kids   are   being   kids.  

 “it’s   still   summer.   go   outside   with   the   other   kids   at   night.   they   are   all   going   to   the   drive   in,   why   don’t      go   too?   as   much   as   i   like   you   are   reading   about   okinawa   again.“   he   teases,   hand   on   the   book   he   had   once   found   by   robby’s   bed   it’s   still   there   visible.   it   brings   a   warm   smile   to   his   lips,   that   the   kid   still   wants   to   know   more.   always   more.   brings   kind   memories   of   his   own   thirst   for   knowledge.   “book   can   wait.“ || @taughtpain​

OUT OF CONCERN FOR HIS BEST FRIEND, MIGUEL HAS BASICALLY BEEN KEEPING TABS ON ETHAN THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

despite his internalized jealousies, he’d been trying to butt out of ethan & auryn’s relationship at first, but that quickly became impossible given how differently ethan’s been acting lately. he went from his usual chaotic self to something… sadder. he’s been pulling away from his trainings, he’s been skipping school. it’s done nothing but make miguel worry. miguel’s been a little more angry lately because of it, just in general. his mom & abuela can’t figure out what’s going on with him. everything’s going good with sam, miguel catching her staring at robby & tory dancing at prom earlier notwithstanding. he hasn’t taken his annoyances out on anyone, certainly not sam, but he also hasn’t expressed the reason(s) why he’s angry—all of which start with an a & ends with a n. it helps some that chase, rosalie, ciro, icarus & emma—along with their other friends—are clearly concerned about ethan, so he’s not alone in the alarm bells ringing.

auryn was invited to the miyagi-do dojo by ethan a few days ago, & auryn spent the entire time distracting ethan or pulling him away from his trainings. their senseis—all of them, including sensei wilson—hadn’t been thrilled with that. miguel’s noticed with how… off ethan’s been acting lately. he’s been more subdued, quieter. nothing like the person he knows. he’s convinced that auryn’s constant presence isn’t helping matters. this morning, miguel had pulled ethan aside to ask him if he’s okay, if his relationship with auryn is good. ethan had told him that everything’s great between him & auryn. he told him with a smile, & it reached his eyes. if he was anyone else, it would have convinced them. but miguel’s known him since the first week of school, & he’s his best friend.

ethan is standing across the living room in one of the corners with auryn, hunched in on himself slightly & holding his boyfriend’s hand, his eyes on the hardwood floor. auryn’s clearly passionately talking. it doesn’t sound like he’s yelling: his body language isn’t quite that, but ethan looks a little sad for some reason. with the after party chaos around the house, no one else is paying attention to them, but miguel is. the dark circles underneath his eyes are obvious in the lights of stingray’s home. something’s about to go wrong with those two. the little voice in miguel’s head screams. while he can’t read minds & has no proof to back the claim the voice says up, his shoulders tense, adrenaline spiking alongside his heartbeat kicking up. ethan responds, but miguel can’t hear them over the music, the voices & chatter throughout the whole house too loud, & the distance between them. he doesn’t have super-human hearing.

the blood in his veins boils as auryn reaches a hand up to ethan’s earplugs in his ears, the anger in his eyes increasing by the tenfold. ethan, who looks scared, blurts something out then surges forward to kiss auryn. miguel supposes he should look away, but the voice in his head tells him that he shouldn’t. not in a creepy, voyeuristic way, but out of concern. the blond’s hand freezing around the white wire of his corded earplug before he can yank(?) one of his earplugs out (or is he just adjusting the cord?), then pushing on ethan’s shoulders to make him stop kissing him. ethan still looks very nervous as he pulls away, & auryn drops his hand away from ethan’s earplug.

ethan still doesn’t relax.

absolutely furious & thinking only on his unfiltered rage, miguel takes a step away from the snack table. but he doesn’t move towards sam out by the pool, or towards the couple in question, but to @taughtpain nearby. he storms across the room like a man on a mission, his hand lashing out to curl tightly around robby’s suit-jacket clad arm before he even makes his presence fully known to the other, knuckles bone white.

❝ i need to talk to you. now. ❞ he rushes out. it isn’t a request, but a demand, that much is clear in his tone, in his body language. there’s no fucking shot he’s going to let ethan out of his sight, not after what he just witnessed.

ethan makes eye contact with robby for a half-second, then quickly looks down again, shoulders deflating. it makes miguel’s heart break. unfortunately, auryn is scarily perceptive. it causes him to whip around mid-sentence to where ethan’d been looking. it leads him to finding him & robby, miguel’s hand still wrapped tightly around his arm. miguel’s not going to fight robby, not here, despite making the first contact. the rage on his face—solely directed towards auryn—clearly spikes. ( by the way the curious look on his face turns into a knowing smirk, auryn looks very smug about that. )

“   I didn’t ‘miss’ the red flags; I saw them and thought that they looked sexy. ”

❝ in case you somehow missed it, you have a really bad habit of ignoring or entirely missing red flags, bro. ❞ chase comments absentmindedly from the kitchen table of the brown household, where he’s been trying to study for a physics test that’s tomorrow for the past ten minutes. robby’s been distracting him every time he tries to, that little shit.

❝ i didn’t miss the red flags; i saw them and thought that they looked sexy. ❞ @taughtpain replies.

chase’s genuine first thought is to wonder if robby’s ever not missed/ignored any red flags in his life. with his more recent, less-than-desirable choices underneath his belt, much of which involves nasty comments towards miguel, hating the world, & just generally being a nuisance to everyone as prince cobra, he seems to have developed a nasty habit of that. kreese & silver are literal walking breathing red flags, & robby gave into the dark side. full sith, as demetri called it at the all valley tournament. not to mention, it only solidifies chase’s line of thinking as proof. this time around, he’d been referring to that unfathomable, billion-year-old horror ( literal ) in the form of a teenaged boy ( again, in a literal sense ): ethan. chase had thought ethan was hot for a total of one week, then he realized that the other was too chaotic for his liking. & way too in love with robby to ever think about linking up with anyone else romantically.

well, until he, robby, miguel, tory & sam all became a poly group, but chase knows that ethan had a crush on robby long before they’d gotten together. both as a monogamous couple & a polyamorous couple. he’d have to been blind or stupid to not see that egregious amount of pining coming from ethan. & he thought he was the worst case of pining ever with calla. he was so wrong.

❝ ...jesus, mary & joseph, dude. ❞ chase mutters. his tone is entirely flat, even though he’s unsurprised by robby’s chaotic words. he hears hudson gasp in over-dramatic surprise from the kitchen at the sacrilegious use of their names, which he ignores.

his next movement is intentionally slow, so he can properly, convey a scathing, painstakingly judgmental ❝ no fucking shit, dumbass, ❞ look. he looks a lot like deanna with the way his face just drops, the glint in his hazel eyes. slowly, chase lifts head head up from his textbook on thermonuclear fusion, the emotions on his face turning from calm to sarcastic, & looks at robby dead in the eyes.

❝ tell me something i don’t know. again, you & your bad habits of ignoring shit. ❞ he pauses for a brief moment like he’s contemplating his next words. then he just decides to say it. ❝ honestly, with comments like that, maybe i should let everyone know that you need the buddy system just as much as your scary monster fiancé does. if you ignore another red flag ever, i’m going have ethan teleport me to you, so i can punch you for being a dumbass. ❞ it’s hard to tell if he’s joking or if he’s entirely serious. chase doesn’t even know himself. he just… feels weird about ethan lately. he nods towards his phone next to his textbook, but doesn’t make a move for it, instead setting his pencil down.

again, chase thinks that robby’s been hanging out with his fiancé too much. maybe the friend group should make an effort to stage an intervention, keep them apart. …but then again, ethan, unknowable, very emotional cosmic horror with unlimited, scary powers at his disposal, would probably horrifically disfigure anyone who tries to keep him & robby apart - in a nanosecond. …so, maybe it’s not a good idea.

@taughtpain asked: ‘ i want to learn from you. ’

it   felt   like   a   new   beginning   in   a   way.   to   have   robby   back   at   the   dojo,   wanting   to   learn   again.   the   sekai   takai   was   something   he   was   thinking   of   applying   for   a   few   of   the   students   if   they   wanted   to   but   for   the   time   being,   daniel   is   learning   to   just   live   in   the   moment,   content   with   the   realization   that   silver   is   behind   bars   and   kreese   is   missing.   by   all   means,   they   can   enjoy   the   rest   of   the   summer   before   the   kids'   senior   year   began.   and   it   was   like   back   to   the   beginning.   "what   would   you   like   to   do   first?"   daniel   asks,   adjusting   the   edges   of   his   gi,   a   gift   to   look   more   professional   from   chozen.   "i   already   know   you   and   sam   can   sitll   do   the   balance   wheel,   that's   great."
