Young Justice: ZetaFlash Headcanons

Ya girl is back with more Young Justice headcanons, with another of my fave couples! Damn the fact that they can’t be confirmed in canon! Enjoy! @imsparky2002

They definitely love to use their powers to spring random affection on each other, and no one can change my mind. Bart careening into Ed at near Mach 2 and taking him straight to the ground in a hug, while his boyfriend laughs through the pain in his ribs. Ed teleporting behind Bart and surprising him with a kiss on the neck, just to see his adorable face turn red. Just lovingly messing with each other.

Bart is a tactile and affectionate person with those that he’s close to, and this is especially evident with how he’s so frequently glomped onto to his boyfriend, no matter where they might happen to be. Not that Eduardo minds his ridiculously cute boyfriend’s snuggly tendencies.

They would definitely be really protective of each other, no matter what they go up against. They watch each other’s backs in battle and when one gets hurt, the other will be by their side in an instant. (Literally!) They’re normally pretty easygoing guys, but if you speak ill of one in front of the other, you had better be prepared to be knocked on your ass. And if you try to come after them being in an open, loving gay relationship (*Cough* Godfrey *Cough*), heaven help you.

Whenever you date someone, you typically have to win over their family and friends. Ed had very little trouble with Jay, Barry and Iris, who all quickly took a liking to him. However, one person proved more of a challenge for him, and that was Bart’s big-brother-in-all-but-blood, the one and only Blue Beetle. Jaime is definitely protective of the speedster, with everything he’s been through in his era, much of it being at the hands of his own alternate self. So when Bart and Ed began their relationship, he was quick to warn the teleporting hero not to hurt him for any reason, or else he’d snap him like a twig. (And you know he can, boy’s been hittin’ the weights since S2.) Though Ed was able to prove in very little time that he genuinely loved Bart and wanted the best for him, he still gets the occasional warning to watch himself from the armored Outsider.

Despite his bordering-on-cocky demeanor at times, you can’t convince me it’s not ridiculously easy to get Bart flustered, and as mentioned earlier, his boyfriend takes full advantage of that. Ed is the kind of partner who flirts with Bart relentlessly, no matter where they are or what they’re doing, and it never fails to make the speedster go red. (There’s a right dirty mind on the golden one and you can’t change my mind.)

Most couples have pet names for one another, and so do these two. Bart usually calls his boyfriend “Eddie”, but also occasionally uses “babe”. Ed’s primary ones for Bart are “amor” or “mi chiquito”, because he’s not above expressing love for him while also teasing him for being short. (I do not subscribe to Bart ending up taller than the others. Mans said himself he spent the first thirteen years of his life scavenging for food, he ain’t never growing to his full height. He will be a smol boi.)

We all saw that frown on his face when he watched Virgil hug Bart, and that none-too-subtle clearing of the throat to hint he should stop doing that. Ed definitely has a bit of a jealous streak. He’s not overly aggressive and he’s certainly never told Bart not to associate with anyone, but he definitely gets a bit annoyed with people getting too close to his boyfriend. Bart is usually pretty oblivious to people being interested in him, so most of this tends to pass over his head. He also knows his BF is gorgeous, so go ahead and look, you don’t have a shot anyway.

Speaking entirely objectively, because we all know it’s true, Bart Allen is adorable, the boy is just cute. And no one knows that better than his boyfriend. Whether it’s seeing him get excited about one of his various interests, that little scrunched up face he makes when he’s focused on something, or pouting when someone makes fun of his height, Ed will tell anyone that his boyfriend is the most adorable person on the planet.

Both of these boys definitely have fronts that they put up for the public, but those tend to fall whenever they’re together. Bart was one of the first people that Ed showed his softer, less surly side to, as the speedster just made him feel at ease. It was this (along with therapy, of course) that allowed him to mellow out into the more relaxed and openly caring person he is now. And while Bart still likes to keep the happy, jokester face up most of the time, Ed has always seen right through it. Bart isn’t afraid to be vulnerable or show sadness around his boyfriend, like he is with most people. He feels safe around him, knowing he won’t be judged.

Bart is a jokester at heart, and he’s always making funny little quips about his current situation. Typically, these aren’t all that mean or cutting, but there are times when Bart’s snarkier side slips out and he’ll really let someone have it verbally. Ed loves getting to see these moments, both because Bart is savage and pretty damn hilarious when he doesn’t hold back…and because he finds seeing him get like that pretty hot.

As previously implied, Bart is good at making people feel happy and at ease, and especially making them laugh. And he’s better at this with no one than his boyfriend. He doesn’t even have to try, really. Bart just tends to say and do the most random and adorable things that never fail to put a smile on Ed’s face, and he loves him for that.

Bart isn’t one to generally open up about a lot of the aspects of the now-defunct Reach-dominated future, and those that he does tell about it know it’s far from his preferred topic of conversation. But one person he’s never hesitated to be honest with is his boyfriend. Ed knows things about Bart’s past that even Jaime or Barry don’t. He knows what triggers particularly bad memories and the reasons behind certain actions the speedster performs. And if anyone tries to push Bart for information he prefers not to discuss…let’s just say it doesn’t end well for them.

There weren’t a lot of things people did for fun, or many things considered normal in the modern times, in the Reach’s future, so one of the things Ed loves most about their relationship is getting to watch Bart experience these things. He loves to watch how excited he gets and answer any questions he has. One of his favorite memories of this variety was Bart’s first Fourth of July, and how amazed he was watching the fireworks.

No matter what, these two support each other and cheer each other on. When Ed first got into the hero game, and was unsure about his abilities and whether he was really suited to the work, Bart would be the first to rattle off to his boyfriend why he was amazing in every possible way and how he belonged with the Outsiders. And Ed is always there to comfort and reassure his boyfriend whenever his doubts about measuring up to Wally rear their heads. Both always know the other has their back.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, Bart (being voiced by Jason Marsden, who has a great voice) would be an awesome singer, imo. And I can see singing as something he would enjoy doing to unwind or just let loose a little. And one of Ed’s favorite things is to find him doing this and just listen to his boyfriend’s beautiful voice. Sometimes when they’re alone, and he’s had a bad day or he just feels like it, he’ll ask Bart to sing something for him, and the speedster can never seem to say no.

As previously mentioned, Ed is a decent bit taller than Bart, and he loves to take advantage of this in little ways. Bending down to kiss him on the forehead, picking him up to hug him, or just pulling him into his lap when they’re both sitting down, the golden one def loves his smol boyfriend. And Bart, for all his pouting, doesn’t really mind this or the affectionate teasing.

The thing Ed loves most about Bart in the physical sense is those big, lively green eyes of his. He loves how they’re always full of energy and taking in everything around him. The way they light up every time Bart sees Ed, which never fails to make his heart do a convincing hummingbird impression. (And if he takes the time to check out the speedster’s backside when the opportunity presents itself, that’s his right and his business.) Bart’s favorite thing is definitely his boyfriend’s smile, which he’s glad he gets to see so much more often now. Ed’s smile is a very soft and subtle one but beautiful nonetheless, and Bart loves being able to bring it about. (And the toned arms are a plus too, if we’re putting everything on the table.)

These two are definitely the boyfriends who love playing pranks both on and with each other. Watch out on April Fool’s Day because when they put their heads together, no one is safe! They’ve even managed to pull one over on Batman, and Bruce was too genuinely impressed to be angry.

As we’ve all seen, Bart isn’t always exactly someone to think before he acts on his impulses, or hold his own safety to a high priority level. And this causes his loving and protective boyfriend no shortage of grief. Obviously he knows about Bart’s accelerated healing, but that doesn’t excuse him putting himself in unneeded danger. They’ve had their fair share of arguments about this, and there will be more, given how stubborn Bart can be.

As mentioned earlier, Bart’s family loves Ed. He regularly helps Iris and Barry with watching the twins alongside Bart, and he always helps Iris with dinner when he comes over. Jay appreciates his efforts in keeping Bart out of too much trouble, and how happy he makes his honorary grandson. Dr. Dorado appreciates the calming effect that Bart seems to have on his son, making Ed happier than he’d seen the boy since he’d been living with him, even if it took him a bit to adapt to the speedster’s constant energy and…quirks.

Despite their highly differing personalities, Bart’s energetic and social nature against Ed’s more reserved and mellow demeanor, the two seem to just fit together, balancing each other out perfectly. Ed can rein in Bart when he’s being a bit too much and needs to take a breath, and Bart pushes Ed just enough to be more open and get out of his comfort zone. While they definitely still have their arguments, opposites definitely attract with these two.

Bart would definitely make the effort to really learn Spanish for Ed, who’s more than happy to teach him, and touched that he’s really dedicated to doing this. (Of course, Bart still purposely pronounces words wrong solely for the purpose of annoying Jaime, but that’s just because he’s Bart.)

They love each other, and that’s the bottom line, screw anyone who has a problem with that.

Gotta love these beautiful gays! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!
