Been thinking a lot about how much Robin would love the Artemis II space mission and then it turned into a soft little Cap/Robin ficlet 🥹

Title: Beautiful

Rating: G

Ever since they'd watched the launch, Robin had been obsessed with all things space and moon. Even more so than usual. And the Captain loved it. He loved watching Robin's rapt interest as he watched the footage, the way his eyes light up at new photographs.

Like now as he flicks through a new set of photos of the moon. Even the Captain, who is usually not that interested in space, can't deny how amazing it is to see the moon in such detail. The craters, the light, even the colours - all new and mesmerising.

And most mesmerising of all is watching Robin.

"Cap, look!" Robin tilts the phone so that the Captain can see it too. "It's the most beautiful thing ever."

The Captain glances at the screen and then looks at Robin. His eyes are bright and he's smiling.

The Captain coughs. "Second most beautiful, actually."

Robin frowns softly and looks at the Captain in confusion. "What do you— Oh. Oh." The confusion clears and his cheeks flush pink. Robin shakes his head, embarrassed and happy in equal measure. "Don't be ridiculous. There's no way I could compete with—"

The Captain leans in and silences him with a kiss. "It's not even close."

The flush on Robin's cheeks deepens and the phone slips from his hands, forgotten, as he climbs onto the Captain's lap.

"You're still ridiculous," he says, happily.

The Captain just reaches up to stroke his thumbs across Robin's warm cheekbones. "And you're still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

no thoughts just Adam fucking Fergus to make him relax and forget about the job (yes, I'm still in my bottom!Fergus phase. I need that man on his hands and knees) (Fergus not being able to shut off though….. he'll start talking policies mid-snog and i will die on that hill) (Adam can be like that as well, but Adam's also more invested in the sex)

Yeahhhh I'm back on my bullshit ✌🏼🩷

Okay I love this and it unlocked something in my brain and I just couldn't help myself. Just a short, silly thing but I hope it brings this glorious vision to life 😍

The second I saw @captain-rickbond's amazing drawing of Cap and Robin hugging, a little idea for a ficlet immediately formed in my mind 🥹

Thank you for feeding my obsession 💛💛💛

Text: Robin steps back inside the Captain’s flat, drops his rucksack on the floor and tries to take his damp coat off without dripping all over the floor. By the time he’s struggled out of it, the Captain is stood in front of him. “Hey,” Robin grins at him, hanging his coat on the hook. “You ok?” The Captain doesn’t reply, and instead he pulls Robin into a tight hug, squeezing him so close that Robin’s feet lift off the ground. Robin laughs happily and holds the Captain tightly in return. “Not that I’m complaining at all, but what’s brought this on?” The Captain shrugs slightly, his face warm against Robin’s cold skin. “I just missed you.” Robin’s chest flutters at the affection and his grin widens. "I only went to the shop," he says. He squeezes the Captain tighter, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “I missed you too.”

I'm imagining this little ficlet as part of my Cap/Robin "Over the Moon" series (rated E), which you can read on AO3, if you were so inclined.
