"What do you think, with the tiara or without?" Dick said, frowning in the mirror.

"I hate you," Roy said. "I utterly hate and despise you."

"Love you too, darling," Dick said. He frowned and took the tiara off. "It doesn't really match my jewelry. Does Lian have a silver one?"

"I thought this'd get you to call off the deal!"

"You agreed to choose each other's costumes for the party."

"I didn't think you'd be evil!"

Dick twirled around, letting the pink, poofy skirts swish around him. "How do I look? Princessy enough?"

"Damn, you're hot," Roy said.

"Not calling off the deal, then?" Dick said, smirking. "The Robin costume's in the closet."

Roy grumbled and stomped over to the closet. "I don’t see why I couldn't at least have worn the current Robin costume," he said.

"Tim's making Bart wear it," Dick said. "You're just pissed you had to shave your legs."

"Shortpants!" Roy said, waving them in Dick's face. "How could you wear these things?"

"I've got a cute butt."

"I know that."

"Come on, Speedy, I wanna see you in 'em."

Roy grumbled and stripped.

"Feel free to do that more slowly!" Dick said.

Roy glared and started pulling on the Robin costume more quickly.

"You're no fun," Dick said.

Roy put the cape on and wrapped it around him. It was too short to really cover anything.

"Come on, show off!" Dick encouraged. "I'll bet they look great on you."

"What if Lian sees?"

"She's staying with Dinah and Babs for the night."

"Babs has cameras in your room!"

"Which I've found and fixed to show a loop just a few hours ago. It'll take her at least all night to figure it out and fix it."

"Still…"

"Roy, I've seen you naked."

Roy shrugged. "This is almost more revealing."

"Oh, come on. Your princess demands it!" Dick said imperiously.

"Hatred. You," Roy growled, letting the cape fall.

Dick stared. "Wow. How did you resist jumping me when I wore those things?"

"Wasn't easy, believe me," Roy said.

Dick kissed him, putting his hands on Roy's ass and hooking his pinkie fingers under the edge of the shortpants.

Roy rolled his eyes when they broke apart. "We're skipping the party, aren't we?"

"Oh yeah," Dick said.

LOL. I'd skip the party too. And yes, someone should draw this. The image is adorable. And I love the playful side you show here. That's how I imagine they would be, with all the history and affection between them.

Great use of the prompt and combining the two challenges.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

My original try had Dick in the shortpants, but come on. That's totally been done.

Roy, however...

And combining challenges is fun! I'd never, ever, ever finish all my tables if I didn't.

Thanks!

> Dick in the shortpants

Well, that's where it usually is... oh wait, you used capital D. Ah, that's Nightwing.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

His name is just so much fun!

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

Whee this is so cute! Great work <3

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

*grin* thanks!

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

p.s. I am drawing it

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

You win.

Want me to write you something?

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Yeee.

I love how embarrassed Roy looks.

Thanks!

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'm waiting for my Spiderman becoming deadopool action figure to dry... waiting on paint to dry is frustrating!~

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Spider-Man becoming...Deadpool?

I am curious, yet also vaguely afraid.

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

^_^ There were no deadpool action figures at the comic store so I grabbed the closest resembling Spiderman and am now 'fixing' him making him better than he was before.... though my dremel tool was broke by someone while I was away at school so I am handsanding/carving. But at the moment I gesso'd the first layer on it, then I willd sad again and gesso more and so on so forth than finalize carve lighter sanding and begin painting him as deadpool.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I understood about half of that. Curse my lack of art and action figure knowledge!

Cool, though. You have far more patience than I do.

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

Laughs. I did printmaking- patience is essential in that. Um short explanation. Gesso is like primer, so I would put primer on in small coats smoothing it out and adding more than doing carvings to manipulate the Spiderman body until it is close enough to deadpool than smooth it out one last time and paint. Accessorize, and topcoat or something to keep it from getting scratched and wrecked... I am also debating carving a wooden replica of a guitar hero style guitar to excuse the classic spidey finger pose.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

This is why I stick to words. I understand them and they go as fast as I do! No need to worry about typing an "r" wrong!

[axolotl-lan.livejournal.com]

Giggles, you'd be surprised! My typing was/is atrocious and still reveals it's inner gibberishness on occasion

[anthraciteowl.livejournal.com]

Cute! Roy was doomed from the start. But maybe now Dick will realize just hos . . .distracting he was as Robin.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

That was his job, after all!

[anthraciteowl.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And he was good at it. Just not always in the way Batman had intended.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

What...that wasn't the way Batman had intended it?

[anthraciteowl.livejournal.com]

I thought Bruce was planning for bright colors and flashy moves. Not sex appeal. Didn't Dick design his own costume? And choose to keep wearing the short pants into his college days?

Bruce just stayed silent and let him.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I know, I was kidding.

(I'm not really a Batman/Robin shipper, but sometimes it's just asking for it.)

[nightfall-0.livejournal.com]

Lol! That's so funny, I loved it.
And Dick is right : how did Roy resist jumping him in his short pants?

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

He was high, clearly.

*is shot*

Thanks!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Aha, they would not be able to do this with Lian there.

[aiyokusama.livejournal.com]

*giggles at Roy*


Poor darling. And to have had a clueless Dickie-bird wandering around in short-pants temping him...

He has the patience of a saint!

Nicely done :)

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

He certainly does!

Thanks.

[loopylouise123.livejournal.com]

OMG. LOL.

Dick's evil, but I think it is Roy's turn to wear the short pants. XD

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Dick is indeed evil here, but aren't we glad about that?

[stinglikeabee.livejournal.com]

Mmm shortpants!

"Oh, come on. Your princess demands it!" Dick said imperiously.

dsmfiwehgk'; *snorts gatorade out of nose*

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Dick is a pretty, pretty princess!

Gatorade from the nose? Sounds unpleasant!

[mari-redstar.livejournal.com]

Hey, Roy spent his teenage years in a miniskirt. (Okay, the Arrows claim it was a tunic. It was totally a mini-dress.)

Dick twirled around, letting the pink, poofy skirts swish around him. "How do I look? Princessy enough?"

Oh, Dick. You're always a pretty pretty princess. :D

Is Tim dressed in the Impulse costume? The discowing outfit? Steph's Robin costume? I vote for Discowing.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Actually, Tim's dressed like Brainiac Five.

...Bart thought it'd be cool!

Roy may have been wearing a miniskirt, but he did have pants on under it!

[mari-redstar.livejournal.com]

They were tights. Roy claims otherwise, sure, but in the Silver Age? Miniskirt and tights. And go-go boots.

Admittedly that's more clothing than three-fifths of his team was wearing.

Awww! (...is Kon dressed as Supergirl? Thematically appropriate and means that he can smooch Tim and claim it's just to stay in character.)

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Kon is totally dressed as Supergirl. Cassie made him do it. And she encouraged the kiss, too. She is a kinky, kinky amazon girl.

Kara and Bart were not pleased.

[bradygirl_12]

First off, Dick as a pretty Princess is perfect! ;)

That boy can wear anything and look incredible!

Secondly, Roy in the shortpants is just priceless! And Dick wearing them well into his college years...well, just tells you he's a tart, no doubt about it! ;)

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Hee, Dick makes a lovely princess. And Roy just doesn't realize how nice his ass looked.

[timemonkey.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Roy in shortpants is a very nice image. Although, I have to wonder if they'd even fit him, as Huntress was nice enough to tell us, Roy's packing more in the pants department than Dick is.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

They aren't the ones from when Dick was Robin! Those probably wouldn't even fit Dick!

They got a Robin costume from a costume shop.

[timemonkey.livejournal.com]

Aw. Wouldn't Dick's college era costume still fit him, somewhat?

Either way, you gotta love how rediculously revealing it is.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

It might.

And they might have raided the Batcave where Bruce has several sizes of larger Robin costumes just in case Dick hadn't ever quit or experienced a sudden growth spurt.

But I still think they'd go with the store-bought one. It's a bit hard to explain how you've got an actual Robin costume without giving up your secret ID.

Unless you're Bart, who wears his own costume during Halloween.

[timemonkey.livejournal.com]

Bart could dress like every hero if he wanted to. Evrytime you blinked he'd be someone else.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

"But weren't you just - "

"What are you talking about? I was always wearing this!"

[timemonkey.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he'd dress in layers?

[hatgrlstargazer.livejournal.com]

This was delightful. I love how happy Dick seems to be as a pretty pretty princess. Of course, getting Roy into the shortpants has got to be a powerful motivation. :-D

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Sure, that's just the excuse!

Thanks. XD

[saavikam77.livejournal.com]

ROFL!! XD Oh, gods, that's perfect! Roy should wear the short pants more often... ^_~

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree. And I think Dick does too.

Thank you! XD
