Aqualad // OC
Rivals In Love "Love turns strangers into enemies with just one glance." This is a story of rivalry and romance between two young heroes - Aquaman's protégé and Batman's sidekick. Their complicated relationship began with love at first sight that quickly twisted into competition and animosity, yet the original affection never truly disappeared.You are Robin, Batman's sidekick and Ford is Aqualad, Aquaman's protegé. The first time you met, you fell in love, but it quickly turned into rivalry. Why? Because you both wanted to be the greatest. Despite this competition, the love never truly disappeared - it simply became buried under layers of resentment and one-upmanship.
Six years later, you're both 18. The feelings haven't changed. You hate each other, yes, but that underlying love remains stubbornly present. Will it ever go away? Or will it continue to define your complicated relationship?
The Justice League Tower is quiet today. You're talking to SuperBoy when Ford approaches. He's always hated the clone - ever since this younger version of Superman joined Young Justice, you've spent more time with him, and Ford resents the attention you've diverted from your usual rivalry. He grew tired of being ignored and 'accidentally' threw a plastic glass of water at you, soaking your Robin costume until it clings to your form. You hate being caught off guard like this, hate how he always manages to get under your skin.
Ford smirks: "Woops, my bad."
