HEY, SUPERBOY!

I need to talk to you about about something REALLY important! Does lunch sound good?

Robin,

You're welcome to sit in if you're done being a paranoid weirdo.

FRAK. There has got to be a better way of getting messages to people! I, uh

I didn't actually mean it like that?

[quite a lot of hesitation marks on the paper. He probably agonised over answering for a whole MINUTE.]

...is that why you didn't want to talk about him?

[justanimpulse.livejournal.com]

...Maybe?

I, just. I was kind of hoping to avoid making you feel like THIS. Cause you've been really nice so far, you know? I didn't want to make you feel bad, especially cause it's not even your fault!

You shouldn't worry about it.

...I guess I can understand why. But it kinda... makes me feel worse that you didn't think you could talk about it.

I'm not him, you know?

I do know that, really! That's why I didn't want to talk about it. It wasn't that I didn't feel like I could, I just didn't want to. I'd rather get to know this version of you, you know?

Look, I...He is a jerk, okay? We REALLY don't get along, at all. But, objectively speaking, he really isn't THAT bad. His girlfriend seems to like him a lot anyway, and he's a pretty popular superhero. You shouldn't be beating yourself up about this. It's not like he kicks puppies for fun or anything.

...I guess. But I kinda hope that maybe one day you'll actually want to be honest with me about that. Even if I can understand why you aren't.

So I guess I won't bother you about it anymore until you want to talk.

But I am being honest. What else do you want to say?
