#superboy ship

@smallgargoyle : New years request? Please? DC? I have really short brown hair, glasses, I am athletic and energetic. I have anxiety, ADHD, and sensory processing issues. I really like to talk to people and but tend to have to separate myself from larger groups when they get too loud. I like to run and swim and am in gymnastics. I like telling stories and doing comedy routines for friends. I would both kill and die for my friends. Sorry if any parts don't make much sense, for I am very tired.

Fandom: DC / Young Justice TV show

Summary: You had a plan to get Conners Ex back

Pairing: Conner Kent x Reader

Notes: This takes place during season two of the show. Mostly because I hadn’t started this before I watched it.

So, yeah, kind of rushed but I hope you like it ok. I wanted it to be more like a snip from a larger story idea but it kind of got away from me.

Conner sat in the kitchen watching as M’gann laughed at something  Lagoon Boy said. He felt his hand clench in annoyance. It shouldn’t bother him, he was the one who broke up with M’gann but… they were just so public. He knew she wasn’t doing it on purpose but, it almost felt like she was showing off to him. That she had moved on and he was the one who was just left out.

A gentle hand on his shoulder made him jump. He spun around startled by the contact. You let out a nervous laugh holding up your hands in defense. “Easy tiger, it’s just me.” your eyes softened trying to convince the OG member that you meant him no harm. While still new (or new compared to the original team) you weren’t blind to the inner workings of the drama.

“We’re going to a movie” you nodded toward Robin, Impulse, Wondergirl and Blue Beetle. “Want to get out and join?”

“I’m good”

“YAY! Hey, guys, Superboy is coming!”

“That’s not what I meant…”

But it was too late, you were already pulling him toward the younger members of the team. Conner always forgot how strong you were. With the power to create and control stone, you were able to build up your strength that could rival Superboy himself.

“So why are you really so angry?” you asked as you grabbed your snacks from the concessions. Bart was chatting quickly to Tim and Jamie about the previous three moves that had been made leading up to this one. However, he kept getting confused with the sequels that hadn’t been made yet and Tim kept yelling at him to stop. Cassie was laughing at her boyfriend's anger which was maybe just a little more annoyed than it should be over something that wasn’t real.

Conner turned to the look down at you as you picked at your popcorn. So unassuming but he knew better. You were up to something.

“I don't’ know why you think I’m so angry.” Conner scowled, “My life is just going so great” he added dripping with sarcasm.”

“You damn right! You are chilling out with the coolest people in the Young Justice.”

That earned you a small smile from the grumpiest member.

“It’s nothing…”

This was his fatal mistake. One does not tell you “nothing is wrong” when it isn’t. Because you could see right through that shit. Narrowing your eyes you glared at him.

“Tell me”

“Huh?”

“Tell me what’s wrong”

“Nothing…” he said taking a step back in slight surprise. You were normally such a happy-go-lucky girl who was more often than not telling jokes and making those around her laugh. This serious side of her was something he had never experienced.

“If you don’t tell me you will regret it.” you said looking up at Conner only a few inches away from him.

“Wait, what?”

“Tell me what’s wrong.”

“I said…”

“Ok fine,” you turned abruptly popping a kernel of popcorn into your mouth. “Let’s watch this move”

But Conner couldn’t seem to focus on the movie, glancing every few moments back at you as you whispered comments to Tim and Cassie making them laugh.

“Ok but no one really has some romantic kiss under the setting sun.” you mumbled rolling your eyes, “especially a first kiss, those are always so awkward in some weird random place like a hallway.”

On your way home you guys stopped at a Target rushing around the store grabbing random things. The first one to find everything on their list won. This ended with you yelling at Bart that had cheated while Cassie grumbled something about how the gummy bears weren’t with the candy and how did that even make sense is that?

The ride home resulted in said gummy bear war where you all ended up chucking them at each other. Jamie taught You how to catch them in your mouth which resulted in everyone trying to catch them and eat them.

Conner was surprisingly good at it.

“Superboy lives up to his name.” you laughed breathlessly, it felt like you had been laughing all night and your sides were starting to hurt, “I bet this is your greatest power yet.”

Conner couldn’t help but smile at you as he effortlessly caught three in a row thrown by Bart, Tim, and Cassie.

By the time you all got home Conner realized he hadn’t thought about M’Gann all day.

------------------------

The next Morning you threw your arms around his neck signing your good mornings.

“Let's go get pancakes!” You sang grabbing his arm pulling him away. From across the room, M’Gann watched slightly confused. But Conner didn’t move to stop you letting you lead him away.

‘So I have a theory want to hear it?” you asked over fluffy pancakes.

“Oh?”

“That women want what they can’t have.”

“And?”

“Annnnddd,” you drew our your words as you cut into your breakfast with such excitement that Conner wondered if there was more than just flour and eggs in those little cakes, “If you act like your not available maybe your woman will come back.”

“And how could I do that?”

You winked a huge smile on your face, “Just follow my lead.”

This started as a long line of taking him on daily adventures. They weren’t large crazy ones. Sometimes it was just a beach hike to find the coolest shells. Sometimes it was to go to a crazy restaurant that served flaming vegetables.

A month went by and Conner realized he was truly enjoying himself. Being a normal teenage boy. He totally forgot about your plan to help him get M’Gann back he was just enjoying you. The way you liked to laugh and make up jokes. How you loved to be around all your friends yet sometimes would just drag him away so the two of you could talk. Or the silly way you would hop back and forth between ideas. You seemed to have boundless energy yet somehow always took time to listen to him.

All your little quirks.

Then M’Gann broke up with her boyfriend and confessed her feelings to Conner.

“I don’t know if you are with anyone…” she drew out her words glancing up at him. It was everything Conner had dreamed it would be. What he had wanted. To get her back, to have them work it out. “It was always you, it will always be you. I want to work things out between us.” she had added. Saying all the right words. Knowing all the right things to say.

So why didn’t it matter?

“Oh hello” you sang out swinging your feet back and forth from your favorite tree branch. The one you could climb up and watch the sunset. You had taken Conner there once showing him just how peaceful it was.

“Hey,” he said as he sat down on a branch just below yours looking up at you. The slowly dimming light of the sun casting soft shadows through the leaves on your face making you look slightly nymph-like.

“How was your evening?”

“M’Gann told me she wants me back”

“It worked!” you laughed punching the air. Yet something inside your stomach dropped. It was almost as if the tree itself had bent forward and for a moment you had lost your grip.

“I told her no.”

You paused your heart caught in your throat, head spinning, “Wait for what?”

“I don't want to be with her anymore.”

You watched as he pushed himself up coming closer to you. “I’m happier with someone else.”  

“Who,”  you asked unsure, there was no way. It couldn’t be. Could it? 

He kissed you then, soft and unsure. Tentative as if ready to pull away at the slightest hesitation from you. Not that you needed much prodding as you eagerly kissed him back. Under the branches on your favorite tree with the setting sun. Ok, so he proved you wrong.

Some first kisses were under the setting sun.

-GET TAGGED!-

@alienatedhooman: Hello 👋 I saw your ship post as well and I was wondering if I could please also be shipped? I have long wavy dark brown hair and eyes. I’m 5’0” with different sides to me but I love music and singing. During my free time I sleep, read or play my instrument the glockenspiel. I’m just a music and literature junkie in general. I’m passionate about a lot of things and at first I’m like shy but once people get to know me I’m wildt :^) I’m a soft and sensitive bean as well. Thank you!! 💕💕

Summary: You ask Superboy What it’s like to fly 

Pairing: Superboy x Ship 

Notes: More of a slice of life vs. a Meet que. You have the powers to make sound into light. 

I just got off a 7 day work week and my right eye is twitching. So sorry in advance. 

—————————

“On your right!”

“GOT IT”

You jumped from your motorcycle onto the speeding truck clinging to the side before using the gloves you had borrowed from Robin to climb up to the top.

“Careful” you could hear Superboy in your head as you lifted your hands. Clapping them together they created a white sound wave slicing through the truck like a saber.

The momentum of the blast caused the truck to lurch unexpectedly. You let out a small scream falling forward trying to retain your balance. However, your scream caused another light blast cutting a huge hole in the truck. Some of your energy hit the cargo making the Truck to exploit the impact sending you flying,

You were certain this was it until you felt a strong grip on your arms.

“I got you.” Connor's voice said you turned to see him behind you as he slowed your fall before landing in a field a bit away from the road.

Both of you laying on the soft grass just catching your breath listening to the voices of your team as they rounded up the rest of the gang you had been chasing.

“What’s it’ like?” you finally asked turning to look at Superboy.

“What?”

“Sorry, “ you mumbled,” Flying, what is it like to fly.”

“It’s nice” came his simple response. “And don’t feel sorry sometimes I think things without saying them too.”

You couldn't help but smile. You had always liked Conner. Sure he had this rough angry exterior but underneath he was very understanding and kind of soft.

---

After the mission, you distressed by playing glockenspiel. Multicolored lights floating around the room as if dancing to the tunes you were playing. A rainbow of sound playing around you lighting you up and fading away.

Caught up in your own world, your world of lights and sounds.

So caught up that when there was a knock on your window you almost blasted Superboy to Kansas (or wherever it was he was from).

“What are you doing out here?” you asked “I almost took your head off”

He laughed leaning on your now open windowsill floating the 6 stories where your room sat. “I’m a little harder than that to get rid of.”

“I… I wasn’t trying to get rid of you, I was just caught up in my own thoughts.”

“I noticed,”

You flushed, your music was kind of intimate. Something you did for yourself. It was a way to center yourself both mentally and physically with your powers. “I… uhmmm, was there something I could help you with.”

It was Conner’s turn to be a bit flustered, “Actually I was wondering if I could show you what it was like to fly” he said holding his hand out.

Anonymous: Could I maybe have a DC ship? I am 18, 5’3, and fem. not really into that whole sex nonsense but I am down for cuddles 25/8 and I am very touch dependent. I struggle a lot with anxiety and minor paranoia. I tend to forget to eat for days at a time and am always active. I have short curly brown hair and grey eyes. I enjoy history and music and really want to teach history at some point. I am always ready for a fight and am very defensive of my friends. Thank you so much xo

Fandom: DC/ Young Justice Cartoon

What about Superboy from Young Justice cartoon?

The reason I say that one is because in the comics (especially the older ones) he was a little sex crazy.

Anyway.

You guys met because of your love of history. Superman had decided to put Conner into a normal school and you saw him struggling in History. Seeing as he was only a year old (something you didn’t know at the time) he needed help.

It was hard NOT to notice how frustrated he was. With all the huffing a puffing behind you.

“Hello stranger, would you like me to assist you with the material?” you finally said wincing the moment the words came out of your mouth. Who even speaks like that? You apparently.

He paused studying you for a moment. Finding you almost as odd as you did. Suddenly you felt your anxiety spike. Forget it, that was really dumb, I just want to die now.

“If you die you can’t help me.”

“Did I just say that out loud?”

“Yeah” his smile put the flaming rock butterflies in your stomach into little smoldering pebbles.

Thus began a beautiful friendship. Starting with just studying to talking about life, hopes, and fears. You both connected on a deep level because of your anxiety and trying to be able to express yourself. He also struggles with this since he’s still new to the world.

Soon he starts to introduce you to his world. Telling you about his past. At first, he was worried you would reject him but his fears were quickly quelled.

“Everyone has their burdens to bare and I am so honored you shared yours with me.”

He may have cried while you hugged him.

After that you guys were inseparable. Almost literally at times. Because both of you are a little of you are touch deprived, while awkward at first, you both quickly became dependent on each other. Dick even referring to you both as cuddle monsters. 

Your relationship is more than just physical. It’s about supporting one another. Helping each other. Being strong when the other can’t. As strange as it is to say about one of the strongest men alive, he still needs you. Weak defenseless you. To fight for him when he can’t.
