"Titans, we need to separate." Robin ordered, seeing how there was two different paths. I groaned.
"Dude, don't you watch movies? Something bad always happens when groups separate!" I argued, hoping someone would agree with me.
"Frankly Beast Boy, this is not a movie," Raven scoffed, her monotonous voice oozing with sarcasm. I stuck my young out at her, to which she simply rolled her eyes.
"Raven's right, what's the worst that could happen? This is only Mumbo we're talking 'bout." Cyborg said.
"Yes, we shall find him faster than a blipnord. No need to worry, friend Beast Boy." Starfire agreed. I pouted but there was really no use arguing.
"Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, take the left flight. Beast Boy and I will take the right." I stared at him confused. I was hardly ever paired with Robin, at least not alone. Maybe this mission wasn't really as dangerous as I thought. I decided not to question it, because he's probably change his mind.
"Titans, go!" We all split off through the tunnel. Thankfully it was lit, or else our job would've been a lot harder. Once we got deep enough inside the tunnel, Robin suggested we should stop and look for clues.
"So..." I began, lifting up a rock. Hey, it was something. "What made you think I should go with you?" Robin raised an eyebrow, his mask raising slightly.
"Why do you ask?" I shrugged.
"You just never pick me,"
"I pick base on strategy, and for this particular situation, you seemed like the best option." A soft 'oh' escaped my mouth. I didn't know if I should take it as the truth, but it seemed like a reasonable answer.
Having found no valuable clues, we moved forward, me in the form of a blood hound, and Robin making sure there was enough light. We walked like this for about ten minutes, not finding a single clue.
"Maybe this is the wrong tunnel." I said, morphing back. Robin looked around, and nodded.
"Mumbo couldn't have gone this far. The other's have probably found him. Let's move back," He turned around and began to walk away. Just as I was about to follow, I spotted something glimmering in the corner. I followed it, and saw a small string of rope attached to it, right to where Robin was walking.
"Wait it's a trap!" I yelled, running towards him. Too late. Robin's foot pulled the rope. As I reached out to push him away, four medal walls surrounded us, and with a snap, connected together.
"Shit," Robin cursed, taking out a baterang. He began to hit it on the medal surrounding us. I, on the other hand, took in our surroundings. We were inside a thin medal box. I assumed this trap was only met for one person, since the space between us were merely a few inches.
Another curse and Robin put down his baterang. He finally achknowled that I was in here too and sighed.
"I don't suppose you can break us out." I shook my head, feeling his hot breath hit my face.
"No, not unless you want to get squashed," Robin hit his head against the medal and groaned.
"Great, I just had to be stuck in here with you," he said under his breath. Usually I don't take offense to his words, but this was a new low. I don't know if he meant for me to hear it or not, or if he just didn't expect me to care.
I looked away from him and bit my bottom lip.
"Am I really that bad?" I choked. His head shot up and stared at me, stunned. Maybe he thought I hadn't heard.
"No! Beast Boy I didn't mean- I-" I cut him off.
"You know, at least I try to be nice! All you ever do is insult me!" I growled. Robin's face turned from apologetic to angered.
"What? I never insult you!"
"You're always telling me I act too childish. At least I act my own age! "
"We're superheroes, we aren't suppose to be goofing off-"
"And you're always saying I need to control my powers better-'
" Those are pointers!"
"And now you think I'm not good enough to go on missions with you! News flash, I'm not the one who got us stuck in here." By this time we were both fuming, our faces centimeters apart. I glared into his masked eyes and he stared back at me. After a few more seconds his face dropped and he sighed.
"Look, I'm sorry. I just don't know how to act around you," he sighed, running his hand through his hair. I gave him a confused look, asking him to explain. "You can be so hard headed at times, and when you act like a kid, it reminds me of the childhood I never had. I guess I'm...jealous." He muttered quietly.
Wait. Did the Robin. THE ROBIN, say he was jealous of me, of all people? I gawked at him for a few seconds, his words not entirely comprehending in my head.
"You know, it's never too late to be a kid again," I whispered. When did we get so close? It felt like our bodies had no space in between us. Robin stared at me, which for some reason made my stomach churn.
"I guess you're right," Robin said. A few minutes passed and neither of us said a word. Robin was staring at the side of the wall, I could tell he was thinking hard about something. He suddenly turned towards me. "Beast Boy," he asked.
I was taken aback by his tone. His usual rough and firm voice was usually quiet and unsure.
"Yeah?" Robin shuffled a bit before looking at me. Before I had the chance to ask what he wanted, his lips were on mine. My eyes widened in surprise. Robin, was kissing me? A million and one questions were buzzing through my head. None seemed to have a reasonable answer.
The kiss was simple and short. As Robin pulled away, he looked just as confused as I was.
"Sorry! I don't know what I was thinking- I wasn't thinking I-" I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down to my level. Capturing his lips again, this time, kissing back. Robin gave a surprised noise, but soon melted into the kiss too.
He placed his hands on either side of my waist, bringing our bodies closer (if it we even possible). He licked the bottom of my lip, to which I moaned. I opened my mouth slightly, allowing his tounge to explore it.I let go of his shirt and moved my hands to hair, running my fingers through his thick, raven locks.
We both stop, panting, trying desperately to catch our breath. All we could do was look at each other with the same expression, 'what the hell just happened'. Our lips were still centimeters apart, his body on top of mine.
"Robin," I said through my pants. He simply gave me a small kiss, rubbing his hands from my waist to my hips. I shuddered at his touch.
"Friend Robin, Friend Beast Boy!" We both jumped at the sound of our names. We both jumped as far back as we could, creating as much space as possible.
"We're here!' I called out. I looked at Robin, who was avoiding eye contact with me. I sighed, slamming my head against the wall.
What was I getting myself into?
I decided to do a set of one-shots series. Just something to fill in the void while I'm working on chapters. I don't think this will become an actual story, just a bunch of drabbles rating anywhere from T-M. You've been warned.
So how do you all like this idea? Should I keep it?
Review!
