Beast Boy and his companion for the night were making for a tight fit in this sleeping bag. He could feel their bodies touching each other, and flinching away as quickly as possible at the slightest touch. Anything to keep themselves away from the embarrassment that only they would really know about.

He wasn't sure how he got into this situation with his partner. They were trapped in the mining cave following an explosion. The others had no idea where they were, and both were too exhausted to do anything about it. Communications were down, and it could be a while before the others find them. They had managed to find a sleeping bag in the emergency room near the back of the mine, they weren't really sure why it was even in there. Maybe if a miner just needed to sleep that badly? Who knows.

All Beast Boy knew was that he would feel a lot more comfortable if his girlfriend were here. He got stuck with Robin, however, and it was beyond awkward. Awkward enough that he just had to try to break the ice with his trademark humor.

"You know, I sleep with a bird every night, but you're not really my type, Dick."

Robin sighed. Loudly.

"Yeah, laugh it up Beast Boy, we both know we'd much rather be sleeping with the girls tonight rather than with each other." He groaned. "Just get some sleep."

"It would be easier if this sleeping bag were bigger, and you wouldn't stop touching me."

"What are you, five?"

"I know I'm not the only one flinching at being touched here!"

"Fine, whatever, I'm not having an easy time here either."

Silence fell over them.

"So, want to just talk in the meantime?"

"I doubt I could stop you, even if I wanted to. What do you want to talk about?"

"Hmmm, how about the girls?"

Robin actually smiled at that.

"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"How great they are."

"Pretty simple, but I can't deny that is a good topic. What's so great about Raven?"

"Everything man, you wouldn't know it, but she's so affectionate in private. It's adorable seeing her like that compared to her normal disposition. She's quite the cuddler."

"Oh yeah, that's nothing compared to Starfire. I sleep next to her, and she practically glows and keeps me warm all night."

"Bet she's quite the tiger in bed."

"Yeah," he said dreamily, "Wait, what?"

"You heard me, come on, I know she's not as innocent as she appears."

Robin hesitated, this was normally something he'd never talk about with anyone. Intimacy was so private to him. But, given the situation, he made a decision.

"Garfield,"

"Uh oh, you used my real name."

"What we say here is never going to be shared with anybody else, swear it."

"On my grave."

"Ok." He paused. "Starfire is honestly one girl that will rock your world multiple times in a single session."

"Woah." Beast Boy sounded impressed.

"Hey, I shared the details on Star, so what's Raven even like?"

"Oh, Rae? Doubt I'll ever find better. I think she uses her empathy to know what to do, because she always seems to do exactly what I need at the right time. Switch position? She's on it. Take a break? She's already started. Resume? Already on top of me again. What's Star like with her tongue?"

"It's prehensile," Beast Boy whistled, "I can't imagine Raven being much of a giver."

"She can be generous, just not as generous as me," he smirked.

"Alright ladies man, don't pat yourself on the back too hard for loving your girlfriend."

"Hey, look who's talking. You're practically glowing just talking about how great Star is."

Robin sighed once again, "I wish I were with her right now."

"Same, I'm just so used to being with her now, it feels weird not being able to smell her shampoo."

"I know what you mean, you're a great friend and all, but you're definitely not Starfire."

"And you're no Raven either. Looks like we're both screwed."

Silence fell over them both again. The two were still thinking of their female halves, the girls who meant everything to them, and the ones they might just want to spend their lives with.

"Hey Rob?"

"What is it now Beast Boy?"

"We could cuddle and pretend the other is our girlfriend."

Robin stared at him.

"Not a word about this to anyone."

"My lips are sealed."

Meanwhile

"Y'all have been searching for hours now, I'm sure they'll be fine. My sensors just confirmed that they're asleep and there's still tons of rocks in the way. They'll wake up and be energized enough for Beast Boy to get them out, will you two please get some sleep?"

Raven and Starfire turned to Cyborg with the glare that could kill a man faster than a basilisk.

"No." They simply said in unison, and went back to work.

Cyborg had never considered himself a religious man until that moment.
