Counting Crows

A/N The memories and regrets that Young Justice share from their time as a team. A group of very short shorts based off of both the old and new versions of the Counting Crows rhyme.

Sorry if the characters are OOC but I had fun with this.

Nine is for a kiss:

The team had decided to have an all-night romance movie marathon… Ok they hadn't really decided that, it was the girl's turn to pick the movie marathon and after Wally's horror movie marathon last month they were getting even. Currently they were half way through Princess Bride.

It was rapidly approaching four in the morning and only a few tired eyes were still open. Conner lounged on the couch, one arm around a sleeping M'gann the other around a catatonic Robin. Kaldur was asleep on the second couch a book propped open on his chest, rising and falling with each of his deep breathes. Wally was sitting next to Robin flicking popcorn absent-mindedly at Artemis who was currently spread eagle on the floor fast asleep.

As Conner watched the final kissing scene at the end of the movie he couldn't help but let his mind wander to a very pretty martian curled up at his side with her head on his shoulder. For a brief moment he imagined that instead of Princess Buttercup and Wesley kissing it was he and M'gann. He let the ghost of a smile spread across his lips as he thought of it.

No one noticed when the movie ended: Robin was too out of it (after all the kid had gotten up at four a.m. the previous three mornings to train); Kaldur, M'gann, and Artemis were asleep; Wally was having too much fun burying Artemis under a pile of popcorn kernels to care; and Conner was currently intoxicated with the smell of M'gann's hair.

As Conner was pondering the new emotions that were coursing through his body (the g-nomes never taught him about love) M'gann gave a small start and tiredly blinked open her eyes. Conner was immediately lost in their sea of intimate brown. Without realizing it he had cupped her chin in his hand and was pulling her lips ever closer to his own. After what seemed like agonizing ages their lips met and Conner and M'gann shared their first kiss.

At M'gann's slightly surprised sound Wally looked up. "Uh-uh! Conner and Megan sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" He sang obnoxiously as he ran circles around the flustered couple.

With a slight shout of rage Conner jumped off the couch, unceremoniously dumping Robin on the floor, and lunged at the speedster. Wally nimbly danced out of the way and scooped Robin up into his arms before beating a hasty retreat for the door.

Conner stormed off in pursuit of the doomed speedster; M'gann was blushing an impossibly deep shade of scarlet; and Kaldur, who had just been awoken from his slumbers, was looking confused. Artemis was still out of it, popcorn kernels now hopelessly tangled in her hair.

A/N Well, the beginning of another series... Yay! I really like the rhyme so I thought I would put a story to it. What do you think?

Next time: Eight is for a wish
