Dick likes introducing people.
Not just in that way; he's not tying on any babushkas or anything. But he likes it when people he knows could be friends get the chance to meet, so he likes making it happen.
He knew Roy and Kory would get along like the proverbial house on fire, and every time they've seen each other they've ended up laughing and teasing each other, teaming up against Dick and making everyone else laugh too. They're laughing now, as Kory floats lazily around the medlab ceiling while Dick bandages the slashes over Roy's ribs. Maybe he can get Kory to help convince Roy to wear more armor.
Or maybe he'll just have her hold the idiot down. "Ow!" When the bandage sticks Roy winces and stops waving. "Watch it, Shortpants!"
"Then stay still, Harper!" Dick's own bruises ache, and he could probably be gentler, but Roy could definetely stop moving.
Could, but doesn't. "You're just trying to distract me," Roy says, grinning, and looks up at Kory again. "Hey, Glow Girl, I've got plenty more stories from the old days, if you're interested!" Kory giggles, and Dick jerks the wrap tight; Roy winces again, but keeps right on going. "Wanna hear about how the Boy Wonder here landed in the monkey cage at the Central Park Zoo?"
"It was a habitat, and she doesn't," Dick snaps.
Of course, as he does, Kory says, "Really?", drifting closer like a giant falling leaf. A giant, really pretty falling leaf. "There is one thing I'm curious about." She turns in the air, floating down so all they see are long, long legs and that really nice butt. Roy is totally staring, but it's not like Dick can pull his eyes off the view to glare, as Kory alights on the edge of the table.
Kory's smile makes Dick think of sunshine and beaches and bikinis, and he grins at her, wider when he sees Roy's grin shining in the corner of his vision. "Kory, what is it?"
She leans back a little, hair falling over one shoulder, golden and red and busty and gorgeous. "I was wondering when you two stopped--- what's the word?" While she thinks of it, Dick watches her breathe, and watches Roy watch her, and thinks that this is not a bad day. "When you stopped dating."
Dick stops breathing. Roy chokes. Kory keeps smiling, like she asked something they can answer, something normal. "We--"
"Um---" Roy is still choking. Dick looks at him, which is a mistake, because he sees Roy's apple-red cheeks and the faint glittery fuzz of red stubble and his shock-parted lips, and remembers, Roy's head thrown back, his hair flopped over one closed eye, his teeth sunk in his lip, breathing hard, breathing fast---
"We didn't," Dick says at the same time as Roy says, "It didn't count," and they sputter down to silence.
Kory's still smiling like this isn't completely weird. "I see," she says, and at least someone does. Roy's face is redder than his hair. The fluorescent light hums overhead.
Kory's smile starts to fade. Someone has to say something. Dick clears his throat, and his face is burning so badly he can't look at Roy, but he has to try. "Uh. It's not like that, not really, it's just..." Roy makes some indecipherable noise, instead of starting to talk, so Dick has to keep trying. "Roy's my--- for a long time we were the only two hero kids. That we knew, anyway. We didn't have to explain, you know? The scars, the bruises, the running off at a moment's notice. We..."
Dick runs out of words, and Kory tilts her head curiously, but Roy finally starts talking. "Yeah, like that. We knew each other." Roy grins sideways at Dick. "Then we met Wally and Garth and Donna, and got older, and stuff, but it started with us two. And... yeah. So it was easier. Not that it mattered."
Not that what mattered? Dick opens his mouth, because Roy sounds strange and his smile's gone fake, but Kory's head tilts further and her smile's soft and knowing. Or maybe a little sharp... she does look like someone whose race descended from a cat, when she looks like that. "I see," she says again, and hops down from the table to wrap one arm around Dick's waist. And the other around Roy's. "Dinner's in two hours, right?"
"Yeah..." Dick is completely confused. And facing Roy across Kory's purple-strapped breasts.
"Is there anything you must do before then?" Kory gives Dick a little squeeze, and he can feel how soft her skin is, bare and glowing, and the strength of her arm.
Still, there's always something to do, reports to write, equipment to restock... that's what Batman would say. Roy is looking at Dick like he wants to laugh, and like he wants to smile. Kory looks so hopeful Dick could never turn her down, even though he's still not getting what she's after. He shakes his head.
Kory smiles--- and kisses Roy, tightening her arm around Dick before he can wiggle free. For a shocked, pulse-pounding moment, Dick wonders, as he watches Roy's eyes unfocus and fall closed, as he clenches his fists, if it's going to be like that awful, awful fight he and Roy had over Babs that one time.
But then Kory kisses him, her mouth warm and sweet and spicy as ever, and it's not. Because this may be absolutely crazy and probably against the rules somehow, but she's Kory. "Well, come on then," she says, lifting them up into the air like she knows Dick needs the feeling of flight to match this leap. "How long were you two going to keep acting like you'd stopped?"
Dick opens his mouth to say they had, awhile ago, but Roy reaches across Kory's back and catches his wrist, and, well, he couldn't say it if he meant it. "Be gentle with us, Star," Roy says cheerfully, "we're just mere mortals."
Dick rolls his eyes, and turns his hand to hold Roy's wrist. Kory laughs, and kicks open the medlab door.
*************
They miss dinner, and team meeting, and the movie too; Dick wakes up a little when Roy, whose head is on his shoulder like old times, sits up beside him and swears softly and happily. Cracking one very heavy-lidded eye lets Dick see Kory wearing his mostly-unlaced Robin tunic with a pair of very short red shorts; she's carrying a tray piled with cold pizza and a bowl of salad, and grinning brightly enough to light the room. Quite the outfit, but... it seems like too much effort to bother being embarassed. It's not like the team didn't know where he was even before she went down to the kitchen in that getup. If they'd really needed him Donna or Vic would've knocked on the door, if only to keep Gar from doing it.
So, with that lovely hot image in his brain, Dick shuts his eye again. Roy's warm next to him, and he's drifting, he could sleep a little longer; when Kory asks, "is Dick awake?" he doesn't say anything.
Roy touches his cheek, really lightly, very softly. "I think we wore him out."
Kory laughs, and Dick can hear his tunic hit the floor, before the bed dips as she climbs back in beside him, draping her long warm legs over both of theirs. "So you never fucked each other?"
That's Kory, not beating around the bush. Roy chokes, and Dick keeps breathing like he's asleep, and doesn't laugh. "Uh." Dick can hear that blush. "Um. No. We didn't get... that far. Anywhere near like that far. We were just kids, you know?"
"I suppose," says Kory, slowly. "When I was that age... but that's best not remembered." A pause, and Dick can feel Roy reach across to squeeze her hand, hear her little happy sound. She must be smiling. "Not when I'm here now, with Dick who loves me, and you our friend." Roy makes that little happy embarassed noise that means he's two more words away from saying something cheerfully assholic just to change the subject. "And it's a pity. He makes the most wonderful noises."
Dick manages not to snort, but it's a near thing. Roy makes a noise like he's been kicked in the chest. "God all-fucking-mighty, Kory. You're gonna be the death of me." She just giggles. "I mean, now I gotta... and... how do you..." Kory's laughing, now, her 'oh, you stupid cute humans' laugh. "How does that work? You're all girl far as I can see, I mean, I--"
Kory laughs merrily, and Dick is getting less sleepy by the second. "Stay the night with us, and when he wakes up I'll show you."
There are some cues a guy just has to take. "Mmm, do I smell pizza?" Dick opens his eyes.

Oh, Dick is so young and fresh and happy and almost innocent in this. It aches at my heart. I can see what you meant about the R-ish paralleling of more innocent times.
"We didn't," Dick says at the same time as Roy says, "It didn't count," and they sputter down to silence.
I cackle with glee. I mean, I'm just grinning my head off here through this whole thing.
Dick wonders, as he watches Roy's eyes unfocus and fall closed, as he clenches his fists, if it's going to be like that awful, awful fight he and Roy had over Babs that one time.
I gasped with the thought of it! And then cackled. And then I thought of the three ways that could go and am still undecided which one. Man this is so-- like they have history now, but they had history then too. Loads of it. And they were so young too.
I love Kory in Roy's pants and Dick's shirt, because a) that's hilarious, b) that's hot and gorgeous and I love girls in Dick's tunic.
Roy makes that little happy embarrassed noise that means he's two more words away from saying something cheerfully assholic just to change the subject.
ROY! I cheer and scream and still cannot stop grinning, because ROY!
Oh man, I'm just-- this story made me so happy. I'm going to have to reread it again after class, because-- because-- THEM! I didn't faint, but it was CLOSE! (I think if you'd included the actual sex I'd be on the floor)

Also, Boys! I adore how they're so innocent, even taking into account the ways they're really, really not.
I love Kory when she's brazenly ignoring the concept of tact and monkey-rules on things you don't just say. There's no escape from her frontal assaults. I love how Dick's Battishness (that I bet he wouldn't even think of as Battishness) is there, and that he's not so batty that he doesn't know the opportune moment to wake up. And Roy, oh Roy - he's so... cheerfully assholic has to be the best way to put it, still trying to be Ollie, and failing in the best possible ways.

Roy suffering an uncharacteristic lack of imagination, bless him. At least after Kory, Grace won't be quite such a shock to the system.
Actually a lot of your fic makes me want to do that, even the ones that aren't set then. Huh.

Writing Roy, of all people, being flummoxed by Korry made me laugh and laugh and laugh again. So I left it in, and now I'm glad i did. :)
