Okay, I started writing this story like on the first day of school, and I've been working on it for as long as I can remember! One thing…it starts out using everyone's alias name until they say their real names. That's when I start using their real names, i.e. Kat=Eli, Speedy=Roy, and Aqualad=Garth (like all Teen Titans fans should know…at least for the last two names)…I own NOTHING! Except Eli(Kat)…and the story idea! Thank you very much!

Speedy hated school with a passion. After three years of being on the Titans East team, he was pretty sure he would never have to go back. He's been so busy with saving people and patrolling the city that he never actually thought he'd have to go back to that hell hole adults called school. As a younger teen, the only thing he liked about that place was the girls. He was always the popular kid, the one that all the guys were jealous of because all the girls wanted him and not them. He was good-looking, not like he wasn't still, but he was pretty handsome for a thirteen, fourteen year old kid. Now, he was sixteen about to turn seventeen and was dating Aqualad, someone he never would have thought would one day be his "one true love", so the fun of school was gone. Don't get him wrong, he loved the boy, no doubt about that, but he believed that there was no point for him to go back to school.

Now, when Bee found out Kat, him and Aqualad never finished high school because of the Titans, she was making them go, much to the three teen's displeasure. Why did they even have to go back? They were superheroes! It wasn't like they were ever going to need anything they learn in school in their lives! Bee wouldn't listen to reason though. She kept saying things like, "We're not going to be heroes forever! If something happens, and we have to stop, you're going to need an education so you can find other jobs!" It was a good reason…but still. None of them liked it. Bee had already finished high school, so that only left the three older teens. Mas and Menos were doing some kind of online school thing, so they didn't have to go to middle school like they should be. It was unfair for them though…the twins actually wanted to go to school, but they couldn't. Speedy, Al, and Kat didn't want to go to school, and yet they were being forced to go. It just wasn't right.

Speedy let out a groan as he slammed his book down onto the coffee table in front of him, lowering his feet to the floor. School wasn't the only thing the archer hated; he hated reading too. Well actually, assigned reading, and when the book came with a stupid project, it made his hatred for assigned reading worsen. How could teachers come up with these stupid projects anyways? Especially for the summer! It was the summer, a time where kids and teens are supposed to be able to relax and not have to worry about school. He was pretty sure that teachers just spent all their time at home trying to come up with new ideas to torture their students. Kat looked up from her own copy of Romeo and Juliet to stare at the archer's disgruntled form, rolling her eyes as she looked at him. The book wasn't that bad.

"I hate this book!" he exclaimed, burying his face into his hands. His head was pounding harshly from all the work and stress. They had about four more days before school started, and they had gotten the project about two days ago. While other teens had an entire summer to work on the reading assignment, they had about six days. Aqualad lifted his head up at the sudden exclamation, looking over at the archer who was just a few feet away from him. His feet were pressed against the others leg as he sat back against the arm of the couch. A smirk spread across his face as he gazed at his boyfriend.

"Why? Too many big words?" he teased, nudging Speedy with his foot. The archer glared at him before tossing his pencil at him. Aqualad quickly blocked it using his book, chuckling the entire time. He lowered his book to look at the other once more, and he was smiling while his green eyes remained narrowed.

"It's not that! It's just so retarded!" Kat shook her head, rolling her electric blue eyes. Speedy didn't have one romantic bone in his body, so how Aqualad could even stand calling that boy his boyfriend was unknown to her. Al was more into love stories, art, and classical things. However, it may be because of the fact he didn't see much of that stuff underwater. And Speedy was into…well, the exact opposite. He listened to heavy metal rock, stick figures were the closest thing he could get to art, and love stories were practically nothing to him. Maybe the concept of "opposites attract" applies here. Aqualad was a hopeless romantic; it made sense.

"It's not retarded," Kat muttered as she lifted her book back up to read. The two boys turned their heads to glance at their friend. "It's a romantic tragedy," she continued, "Romeo and Juliet are in love, but their families don't approve of it." She stopped, smirking as she lowered her book once more, "Sound familiar?" Aqualad couldn't suppress a smile, but Speedy just glared at her,

"Yeah, but we don't go to the extreme of killing ourselves! HUGE DIFFERENCE!" Kat chuckled as she watched the archer flail his arms unintelligibly.

"Oh, but you know you would if you had to…" she murmured, and Speedy shut his mouth almost instantly. "I knew it…you two love each other so much that you would kill yourselves if the other died. It'd be terrible, but you would…" Speedy nodded his head, turning to look over at the Atlantean with a sincere smile on his face.

"I guess so…" he whispered, talking to Kat without actually looking at her, "…I love him too much. I'd never let anything happen to him, but if he did ever die, first I would murder the person who hurt him, and then I would kill myself. He's my one and only, and I'd do anything for him." This time, he spoke directly to the other boy whose violet eyes were shimmering with happiness, "You know I can't live without you Garth." A tear strolled down the Atlantean's cheek before he tackled Speedy with a hug, his arms wrapping around his neck. He buried his face into the redhead's shirt, drying his tears with the fabric,

"I can't live without you either Roy!" he exclaimed. Roy smiled down at him, resting his head on the others shoulder as he rubbed Garth's back. "If you ever died, I wouldn't be able to live! I need you!" Roy pulled Garth closer, if that was even humanly possible, before pressing a tender kiss to the Atlantean's head. Kat smiled, tilting her head to the side, I stand corrected. Maybe he does have one…you definitely need a romance bone in your body in order to say a sweet thing like that and to make the one you love cry tears of joy.

"Eli?" She snapped herself out of her thoughts to see the two boys looking at her, their eyes widened as they tried to give her the puppy dog eyes. She shook her head,

"I am not doing either of your projects just so you guys can…you know. Either you finish it yourself, or no play time! That's what Bee said…" she reminded them, using her book to point at them, "…so you'd guys better get to work because if you don't finish tonight, you both are sleeping in your own rooms…" She glanced at Garth who was still wiping the tears from his eyes. "…okay, you can relax for a little out here so you can calm down, but you need to finish your projects!" He nodded, cuddling closer to Roy as he lowered himself into the others lap, shutting his eyes as he rested. Roy carefully grabbed his book and continued reading, one hand holding the thin, paperback novel, the other running through the Atlantean's long, black hair.

Three hours later

"Gah, my head hurts," Roy muttered as he fell backwards onto the couch, dropping his book to the floor before gripping his head tight. The headache from three hours before had only increased in intensity, and it hurt like hell. He opened his green eyes, and they instantaneously connected with violet ones. Garth was leaning over him now, his black hair tickling the archer's face as he looked at him. He had finished his project about an hour ago, and now he was just waiting for the other.

"You almost done?" he asked. Roy shook his head. He was jealous of the Atlantean. He actually liked reading these kinds of books, and he was just absolutely talented when it came to writing. It was weird though. Garth hardly did any writing underwater because…he was underwater. It's kind of hard to use an ink pen and a piece of paper in the water, but he was amazing at writing. No one except Roy knew this, but Garth loved to write stories in his free time, and he only ever let him read them, and in his opinion, they were incredible. Most of them were love stories, but he didn't care. They were the only romantic stories he liked. "Roy?" He blinked,

"Sorry…I kind of zoned out," he explained, "But I. Hate. This. Sooo…Much…" Garth nodded his head in agreement. "I'm sorry baby, I don't think I'll be able to finish this tonight." Garth sighed, leaning back before resting a hand on the archer's forehead.

"It's okay…" he murmured, gently massaging the other's head, "…you need a break anyways. You've been working hard today." Roy nodded, relaxing into the soft touches as he let out a long sigh. Garth always knew how to make him feel better, and he loved the other for it. He shut his eyes just as an electric blue eyed girl leant over the railing above them, gazing down at the two boys in the main room. She lifted her perfectly ripe, red apple to her mouth, sinking her teeth into the fruit to take a bite. She chewed happily, smiling down at them. They looked so cute together. Even if they weren't a picture perfect couple, mostly because they were both guys, they were still so cute. They, the entire Titans team, could tell those two loved each other. Now, wait a minute. Didn't Bee say they both had to finish their projects before they could enjoy themselves together? Technically, they weren't breaking the rules but still…

"Roy! Garth!" She watched them both flinch before they glanced up at her. She waved at them with the hand that she was holding the apple in. Roy glared at her,

"What?" he whined, "We're not doing anything!" She smirked at his reaction,

"I know," Eli said, "I just thought I'd annoy you two!" This time, Garth glared at her with Roy. She sighed, "Fine…I'm sorry. I'll go now! Proceed with what you were doing…"and she turned on her heel, taking another bite out of her apple. She walked towards the kitchen, jumping on top of the island counter. She faced Bee who was halfway in the fridge as she looked for a late night snack. "They're still down there," she murmured, setting her apple down onto the marble counter, "Roy's not done yet though, but he's almost finished. He's been working for…let me see…" she counted off her fingers before holding up seven digits, "…seven hours of non-stop working. He's doing pretty good don't you think, Karen?" Her leader nodded, shutting the door to the fridge. She was empty handed, not satisfied with the food in the large box. She made her way to one of the cabinets, opening it before digging through them.

"Good," she said, pulling out a box of crackers, "He needs to learn that work comes first. When he finishes, only then can he enjoy his free time." Eli frowned a little. Both boys had been working their butts off so they could be together, and she felt bad that they couldn't get any time together at night.

"Karen…" Her leader set the box down on the counter before she turned to look at the girl, "…do you think you can let them have a break tonight? You know, allow them to at least sleep in each other's rooms. They need the comfort. You know they've never gone for more than three days without sleeping together, and I can tell this is killing them. You may not see it, but I can…" Karen sighed,

"I can't do that," she said, "Rules are rules. Until Roy finishes his project, they can't sleep together in their rooms." Eli nodded sadly, grabbing her apple off the counter before she lifted it to her mouth. She paused midway though, her eyes drifting to the fruit in her hand, and she lowered it. School was going to start in a few days, and she knew with the homework that they were going to get dumped on them in the first week, those two boys would never get the time to have their "play time".

"Bee…couldn't you just let the rules slide past just for tonight?" she asked, keeping her gaze on the apple as she rested her hands down her lap, rubbing the smooth skin of the fruit. "You know what high school is like. There's going to be a lot of work for us to do, and I know they'll be able to sleep in the same room, but they'll be too tired to do…well you should know…and they're so stressed right now. I mean, you're throwing them…us back into the world of high school after such a long time away from it, and…come on, just lift the rules for tonight. They'll definitely appreciate it…" The other girl thought for a moment, one hand resting on her hip while the other lie under her chin. Bee grabbed the box of crackers off the counter, walking towards the door that led to the hallway her room was in.

"Fine…" she said over her shoulder, "You can break the news to them, but by tomorrow night, Roy's project better be done!" Eli nodded, hopping off the counter before bounding towards the elevator. Those boys owed her big time for this, but she probably wouldn't make them do anything for her. Eli wasn't a cruel person. She cared for her two friends, and she'd do anything for them. Ding! Stepping out of the elevator, her eyes fell on Roy and Garth, the redhead now writing in his notebook while the black haired boy flipped through the pages of his well annotated book.

"Oh boys!" she sang, and two pairs of eyes looked up at her. They both lowered their supplies.

"What's got you so happy?" Roy asked, leaning back a bit at the smile on the girl's face. It was a little brighter, wider, and bigger than normal. She was basically beaming at them.

"It's not what's going to make me happy," she said before pointing at the two boys, "It's what's going to make you two happy!" Both looked at her mildly confused, but before they could ask her anything, she continued, "The rules are temporarily lifted for the night! Drop those books and pencils and enjoy yourselves! You're getting a-" Eli was literally spun in a circle as Roy and Garth ran past her at top speed, both chuckling maniacally as they bolted for, most likely, the archer's room. She couldn't help her own laughter as she watched them disappear around a corner in the hallway, the doors that led to the hall shutting with a hiss. She shook her head, walking over to the couch to clean up the mess that the two boys made when they ran for their lives. There were papers and pencils on the floor, and she picked them up, organizing them on the table in front of the couch. She seriously was too nice.

In Mas and Menos' Room

"Oh Roy!" Mas rolled over in his bed, his eyes opening slowly. "AH!" He let out a groan, grabbing his pillow and covering his head. They couldn't be doing what he was thinking. Bee said they couldn't do that until they finished their projects, and he was pretty sure, considering that it was Roy, he would never finish his project that fast. He just wasn't that smart.

"Hermano, ¿estás despierto? (Brother, are you awake?)" He turned once more, facing his brother who was occupying the second twin sized bed in the room.

"Sí, ¿no puedes dormir bien? (Yeah, can you not sleep either?)" Menos nodded his head. They both now regretted ever choosing the room that was close to the archer's room. The reason they chose it was because they believed he would keep them safe from anything, but now…they weren't too happy with the room arrangement. They didn't mind the two boys being together, but Mas and Menos did mind the fact that they couldn't get any sleep on nights those two had their "play time", that's what Bee and Kat called it.

"No. ¿Comó se puede dormir con los dos chicos gritando y gritando que fuerte? (No. How can anyone sleep with those two boys screaming and yelling that loud?" Menos said, flinching as he heard their Atlantean friend moan louder, yelling the archer's name. "Tenemos que salir de esta sala. (We need to move out of this room.)" Mas agreed with him, but they never had the time to actually talk to Bee about letting them choose another room. One, they had superhero business, and two, they had so much stuff that it would be hard to move into another one.

"¿Quiere ir a buscar a Eli? (Do you want to go look for Eli?)" Mas asked, sitting up in his bed. Eli always knew how to help them on the nights they couldn't sleep. When they were younger, younger meaning ten, eleven years old, she would read to them till they would finally fall asleep. Menos nodded once more, doing the same as his brother. Taking each other's hands, they bolted out their door, heading straight for the main room. Usually, Eli didn't go to bed until around twelve and would spend a lot of time in that room, so it would usually be the first place they look.

Back in the main room

Beep, beep, beep! Eli's head shot up at the sudden noise as a communicator rang. She was currently kneeling on the ground by the couch, reaching under the coffee table for a piece of paper that she had missed. She checked her own communicator, only to realize that it wasn't hers. She listened carefully, her keen sense of hearing guiding her to the couch. She pulled away some of the cushions before she found the small, black and yellow device. She picked it up, wrapping her fingers around the communicator. She clicked it open, and Robin's face filled the screen.

"Kat, what are you doing with Bee's communicator?" So this is Karen's, she thought to herself, a smirk forming on her face. Bee was always yelling at them to always keep their communicators close and to never lose them. She was definitely going to hold this above her leader's head. "Where's Bee?" he asked. She shrugged,

"I think she went back to her room. Why do you need to speak to her?" He sighed,

"I need to talk to her about this whole, 'going back to school' thing." She nodded slowly, keeping a straight face when on the inside, she was screaming, Please be against it! Please be against it! She was hoping for a miracle, anything that would keep her from having to go back to school.

"Really?" she tried to act surprised, "What about it?" She subconsciously crossed her fingers, but he couldn't see her doing this.

"Just that you guys are going to need to keep your identities in check," he explained, "You're going to need different stories because nobody can find out about this. You will not be allowed to use your powers under any circumstances. If there's an attack, I'm sorry to say, you can't do anything about it. If people find out that you're Titans, then it'll cause problems. They'll know your real names, and if they connect them with your superhero selves, it wouldn't be good." Eli's face fell in disbelief. Leave it to Robin to side with Bee on something that would keep them from doing their jobs as Titans.

"Hold on…let me give her a call over the intercom so she can get her communicator to talk to you." He nodded. A few minutes later and Bee had possession of her communicator once more, but not without a few smirks and jokes from the blue eyed girl. Eli laid down onto the couch, turning onto her side. She couldn't believe she was going back to school, but not just any school. She was going to Jasper High, the school where all of her classmates from middle school were going. She knew all her friends had moved away from Steel City, so all that left were the total jerks that she completely loathed. Yeah, she didn't hate school for the reason most kids disliked it. It was because of the people. She didn't mind the homework or the quizzes. She hated the students that she would have to see during the school day. Sure, Roy and Garth were going with her so she wouldn't be completely alone, but still…

"Señorita Eli…" The girl opened her eyes, turning her head to the side before she saw two, red headed twelve year old twins with frowns on their faces. She yawned, sitting up to face them.

"What's wrong?" she asked, blinking the sleep from her eyes.

"No podemos dormir…(We can't sleep…)," Menos whined. She sighed. She had a feeling she knew why they couldn't sleep.

"Is it Roy and Garth?" They nodded. She shook her head. "Come on…you can sleep in my room. I have a queen sized bed so we should be able to fit." They smiled, thanking her several times in their language. She just nodded sleepily and walked them to her room. The hallway that she has to take to get to her bedroom though happens to be the one where Roy's room is located, so as they walked down the hall, all they could hear was the constant moaning coming from behind the door. She shook her head. Maybe it was bad idea having Bee lift the rules for them. Sure, it made them happy, but it wasn't helping the twins.

When Eli walked out of her bathroom to go to bed, the twins were curled up under her covers, occupying one side of the bed so she could slip in on the other side without waking them up. She smiled. They looked so cute when they slept. Then again, who didn't? Sleep was the only time anyone looked peaceful because it was the one time where all your worries just seemed to wash away. You could escape to your little dream world without any problems to think about. It wasn't long before she was passed out like Mas and Menos. She was just so tired that she was finding it hard to even keep her eyes open. School wasn't exactly going to help her in this predicament.

The next day…

"Roy, that project had better be done by the time I walk in here at twelve PM or else…well, you ought to know what 'or else' is." Bee smirked as she watched the archer nod his head frantically. She gave him a curt nod before leaving the main room. She still had some paperwork to finish up, and she needed to get to work on it. Roy watched his leader leave before returning his gaze to his book and project. Garth dropped the remote to the TV on the couch after he shut the television off. He scooted closer to his boyfriend,

"How much more do you have to do?" he asked, peering down at the papers in the boy's lap. Roy held up two fingers,

"I have two more paragraphs to write, and I'm done." Garth nodded, not moving from his spot. Roy sighed, turning his head to the side to look over at the long haired boy beside him, "Garth?"

"Hmm?" He looked up into Roy's green eyes, cocking his head to the side. The redhead always thought that he looked cute when he did that.

"I'm sorry, but I really have to work. You're going to be kind of…distracting I guess, so if you could go, that'd be nice…You understand, right?" Garth nodded once more, a sincere smile on his face.

"Of course I do," he said, "I might go for a swim anyways."

"You'd better give me a kiss before you leave."

"Like I'd ever forget to do something like that…" He pressed a soft kiss to the archer's lips before he left. Roy let his gaze follow the Atlantean until he disappeared behind a closed door. He looked back down at his project, groaning as he stared at it.

"Damn school," he cursed under his breath.

MWAHAHA! I actually wrote this! I can't believe it! I hope you readers out there enjoy the chapter! I plan on getting some other ones up as soon as I can! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!...REVIEW!
