"Tantalize"
Aqualad
I don't think it ever occurred to Speedy how tantalizing he was, how his incessant grooming rituals went unneeded—but not unnoticed—by most of his fans, including the singular male in the vast sea of squealing fangirls. He would always sit on the couch, combing his hair, his feet up on the coffee table despite Bee's threats. He always sat there, so calm and laidback, with an easygoing expression that made him look like he was thoughtful of something, but not focusing too hard on it—as if he was keeping worries at bay.
I would watch him on days like that, when he would just sit there and watch TV, murmuring something about being bored. And me, the lovestruck fool—however painful that is for me to say—would just laugh in agreement and continue making dinner. I think I remember donning an apron sometimes, on Bee's request for something to laugh at.
As his friend and teammate, I was officially excluded from any sort of scandal. If I was watching him a bit too closely, it was because he 'had been feeling ill earlier,' and I, as the only other relatively competent guy on the team, was declared his keeper. If I was sitting too close to him, it was a mere coincidence, not even worthy of mention on We-Love-Speedy fansites.
Actually, speaking of those sites, I often browse them for lack of anything better to do. Of course, I'm under a sobriquet—something so obvious and simple, like 'Aqua,' that it didn't call attention. And it passed as a girl's username when I scanned the "You Know You're Obsessed With Speedy When…" and found that I do many of the things listed, mostly because I have no choice. I mean, 'you call your boyfriend Roy' is a loose interpretation of the word 'boyfriend,' but it's basically true. Of course, Roy is a perfectly normal name, so someone who hates Speedy probably has a boyfriend named Roy…
