1. Readjusting

"Now, Toph, I'm just thinking of your reputation. For a young lady to be regularly sharing a room with a boy her age-"

"Pops, I'm 16! I'm old enough to make my own decisions!"

"Not by the rules of this world. Not that I'm trying to run your life-"

"YOu'd better not be!"

"-but some consideration for your reputation, especially what with you being a public figure, might be appropriate and wise. I'm just trying to help."

"Since when am I a public figure?"

"You are a Teen Titan, young lady. That's about as public as it gets. More people in this world care about what's happening between the Teen Titans then they do what's happening between their world leaders."

"But that's stupid!"

Robin sighed. THis was the third time - this week - he'd heard this discussion between Toph and her father, Iroh. By now he knew all the arguements by heart. Toph insisted that all she and BB did was snuggle, which he beleived, or he'd never have allowed them to share her room as often as they did. Iroh was concerned about what tabloids and things would make of it if they got a hold of it, considering the media frenzy that had come of Robin and Starfire. Robin could see that point as well.

He wished he could get involved, help straighten it out, but Raven had told him flat out it would be a bad idea. "They only just learned they're related," she had told him. "They're still trying to figure out where they stand with each other right now. Don't get in the middle of it."

Robin shook his head. He knew she was right, but these arguements gave him headaches. Then Toph said something that caught everyone by surprise.

"Look, Dad...sleeping cuddled up to Beast Boy is the only way I have to keep myself from dreaming about him, and if I have too many more of those dreams...I can't guarantee that the next time we lie down together that snuggling is all we'll do, and I'm not ready for that."

Robin spun around. Dreams? What was she talking about...Robin's face turned beet red. But she was blind! How could she have those kinds of dreams?

Iroh, however, nodded sagely. "I see. These dreams...have you talked to anyone about them? I could explain it to you if you like, but..." He was obviously quite embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Dad." Toph seemed relieved. "Raven explained it all to me when I had the first one."

Robin stared at Raven, who was pointedly reading her book next to Jinx. Robin still couldn't figure out why they spent so much time together.

"I see," Iroh said, sounding relieved. "Then...you are aware of what people might think if it got out that he shared your bed so frequently?"

"Yeah, I know what people would think." She made a rude noise. "And that's what I think of their opinions. I don't care what people think of how I live my life, and neither does BB. We'll live our lives how we choose, and those people can make of it what they choose."

Iroh smiled at his daughter. "Then I have nothing more to say on the matter. I'm so happy you have found someone to be with who you feel so strongly for...and feels so strongly for you."

"Dad..." Toph smiled, ran forward, and threw her arms around Iroh.

Robin smiled. It seemed his headaches were over.

After a while of just standing there holding each other, with Starfire squeeling in the background and everyone else just smiling, Iroh grinned. "So...when's the wedding? And when can I expect grandchildren?"

"DAD!"

Robin sighed. Here we go again...
