Superboy and Rob:

So I believe that in the DC Universe, much like ours, movies portraying the heroics of superheroes and vigilantes would be top-selling blockbusters

Think titles like “The AquaMan 2: The Long Swim” or “Wonder Women: A Journey to Themyscira’

But nothing gets the audiences going quite like the TV anthology series “Masks of Gotham”

It’s a high-production show based on different vigilantes operating out of Gotham

Every episode is based on a different hero or event 

And boy is this the batkid’s favorite show

The kids were counting down the days to the premiere ever since the show was announced

There’s a whiteboard in the kitchen displaying “(X AMOUNT) of days left until we’re TV stars”

Bruce’s head fell into his hands the second he read this sign after coming down to breakfast

“You guys know that you are not actually starring in the show, right?”

When the cast list came out, there was a general ripple of activity in the manor

An emergency family meeting was called

Bruce did not attend

“The Twilight guy is going to play Bruce? This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

The show got a good amount of stuff wrong in regards to what the kids look like under the mask

“Okay but why is a white guy playing Black Bat? That’s an injustice to Cassandra’s honor.”

The studio got a “random tip” about this casting choice later that night, prompting a quick amendment

Premiere night was absolute chaos

All the batkids ditched patrol

Popcorn, sugary drinks, and pillows were heavily scattered around the biggest TV room in the manor

To there surprise, the first episode focused on Robin and his struggles living up to Batman

The kid acted nothing like Damian, but all of the kids related to his plight

Some literally teared up at Robin’s big outburst of emotion by the later half of the episode

Besides getting emotional, they also had fun poking holes into the inaccuracies of the show

They all laughed at the fake fighting, knowing that the actors were trying their best yet could use a lot of work

The main villain in the episode was Penguin, and he exclusively talked in cheesy one-liners that broke the kids every time

All in all, the show, despite its flaws, really brought the kids together as a family with one common goal

Okay so

-Eddie definitely cleans Richie’s glasses for him, almost obsessively

-the minute there’s a fingerprint on the lenses, Eddie gets all annoyed bc he can’t see his crush’s eyes properly bc there’s bound to be so much bacteria right by Richie’s eyes

-when Eddie first started to get the urge to clean them, he ignores it, because he doesn’t want to make it weird. Which, he doesn’t know how it would, seeing as he was, well, Eddie

-but eventually he gets so frustrated about it, and the first time he cleans them he demands to Richie “take your fucking glasses off asshat I can’t focus while they’re all smudged”

-Richie grins and remarks, as expected “do they look like your mom sat on them?”

-which always makes Eddie roll his eyes, and he takes Richie’s glasses off his face for him

-Richie blinks, adjusting to the world being blurry and pretends to be annoyed, but really he’s confused and secretly finds it kind of cute that his crush feels the need to do this all of a sudden

-Richie didn’t even have the piece of cloth to clean his glasses, he’d always lose it, as well as their case about a week after he gets a new pair, guaranteed

-so god knows how Eddie somehow just HAS one

-but he took it from his mom, claiming “he doesn’t like his inhaler getting dirty” and that it would “clean it easily”

-so Richie watches with his near-sighted eye, squinting as Eddie focuses on cleaning them

-(I imagine Richie has different prescriptions for each lens, like in one eye he’s near sighted and in the other he’s far sighted. Idk if that’s a thing, correct me if it’s not)

-he tries not to, but he thinks about how adorable it is that Eddie is so fixated on cleaning his glasses like it’s the most important thing in the world

-he notices Eddie’s furrowed brow and how his tongue is poking out of his mouth

-and notes how it should be illegal for someone to look so cute like that

-once Eddie is done, he noticed Richie staring with a small smile and he pauses

-it takes a moment for Rich to snap out of it, but when he does, he takes the glasses back and acts like he hadn’t just zoned out thinking about how cute Eds is

-Eddie wonders what he was thinking about , but instead of commenting he continues the banter

-“my mom didn’t sit on anything, unless we’re counting your blind ass”

-and they carry on as usual

-when Richie notices Eddie cleans his glasses at any given opportunity, he starts being careless on purpose

-firstly, because he enjoys winding Eds up

-but secondly, because he likes watching the other boy deep in thought

-the group notice how Richie is getting more and more purposeful while getting the lenses dirty in the clubhouse

-when Eddie kicks off Richie’s glasses while they’re in the hammock, Richie picks them up touching the lenses

-Eddie is practically smoking at the ears, ranting about how “you always get them so dirty!” as he snatches them and furiously begins to clean

-before, Richie would go CRAZY if anyone touched them, since he was too lazy to clean them properly and so he’d have to put up with smears in his vision

-Bev and Stan notice, and share a look

-while Eddie is cleaning the glasses for the millionth time, they pick up on the puppy dog look on Richie’s face, and the rest of the group notice they’re staring at Rich

-they notice what’s going on too, and they all snicker because holy shit, everything made sense now

-Richie and Eddie look up, both sporting an expression that says “what?”

-the rest of the losers shake their head, declaring it as “nothing,” leaving Rich and Eds to figure it out for themselves

-more specifically, figure out that they were officially the last two people to realise they liked each other
