Young Justice: Date Night

By: Kairan and Khauzy

Time-line: Set before Capes

Rating: PG-13

Kon was lying out in the sun near the summit of Mt. Justice. It was a clear day and he was stretched out and content like a cat bathing in a sunbeam. Miss Martian was inside training with Black Canary, Aqualad was watching for alerts with Red Tornado, and Kid Flash was on his way. The only other Super unaccounted for was Robin.

A shadow suddenly fell over Kon, blocking out the gentle rays of Sun. Kon made a terse noise at the interruption and opened an eye.

"Having fun?" Robin asked, an eyebrow cocked, his hands on his hips.

"A lot more now." He reached up and tugged lightly on Robin's leg. Kon brought the other boy down and slid his hands down to his waist. "I take it that means Batman's inside now too?"

"No," Robin shook his head and shifted so he was more comfortable. "I came alone. He had something else he needed to take care of."

"Is that so?" Kon raised a hand and cupped Robin's cheek. "So no one else knows you're here..."

"No one besides us," Robin nodded and leaned into the hand. "I haven't been inside yet."

"We'll have to change that then."

Robin blushed from behind his mask and shoved Kon's shoulder. "Pervert."

Kon gave an innocent smile. The pair had made jokes like this often ever since they became friends. They weren't together, but were close enough at times.

"I just meant we'd have to go inside. If you thought I meant something else..."

"Shut up," Robin grumbled with a small smile and punched Kon lightly. "Too stuffy for you in there?"

"Someone came by today..." Kon shifted his eyes and stopped with a grumble.

"Who? Was it Superman?" Robin laid an arm out on Kon's knees. "Or someone else?"

"It was him. He didn't even look at me." Kon sat up abruptly and drew his legs up.

"I'm sorry," Robin shifted again so that he was on his knees next to Kon. "He'll get used to the idea of you being around. It'll just take some time."

"How much time? It's been two months and every time I try to talk to him he flies away. Wouldn't it just be faster if he didn't bother at all? I hate this waiting." Kon balled his fist and slammed it into the ground. The summit shook and a decent bit of rock crumbled away.

Robin frowned. "You just have to be the adult here," he brushed a few strands of Kon's hair. "And Batman said he's trying to help."

"I don't know how..." Kon leaned his cheek and kissed Robin's palm lightly.

Robin smiled softly, not bothered by the sudden intimacy at the situation. He couldn't say that he knew what Kon was going through-he wasn't a clone and he didn't have one. All he could do was try to cheer his friend up and hope that Superman stopped behaving so childishly.

Kon uncurled him and leaned against Robin. "What's something you do to not feel so...angry?"

"Practice," Robin shrugged. "If I'm on a mission, punch the bad guy in the face."

"What's that thing you and Wally go on about...video games?"

"Oh. Yeah. Those are fun too," Robin nodded. "They're good when you're stressed."

"Would you want to do that then? We don't have to." There was a slight hint of longing in Kon's voice.

"You want to play a game?"

"You and Wally seem to like to. It wouldn't hurt to try once. Could we play in your room?"

"Sure. I'll have to unhook it," Robin stood and dusted off his cape and tights.

"Unhook it?" Kon blinked at the comment. "I don't understand."

"Well, it's plugged in downstairs," Robin explained to Kon's blank face. "I guess they didn't teach you about video games, huh?"

"Never had a reason to." Kon stood up slowly and held his hand out to Robin.

Robin looked down at the hand before taking it and walking them towards the entrance to the base.

The automated voice called out their numbers to announce their arrival. Kon followed a few feet behind Robin, trying not to look too interested in what he was doing. The voice sounded again and announced Kid Flash.

"Heeeey guys!" Wally shouted, zipping into the room.

"Hi..." Kon let out a sigh. It wasn't that he didn't like Wally, he just...he and Robin had a history and he might've been a bit jealous.

"What are you guys doing?" he leaned over to see, already munching on a snack.

"Stealing your game," Robin shrugged, unplugging the wires from behind the TV.

"You'll get it back." Kon was going on ahead, now bored of Wally's questions.

"Why can't you play down here?" Wally pouted.

"The game is in my room and I don't feel like bringing it down here," Robin shrugged, all the parts now in his arms. "Come on, Kon."

Kon offered a weak wave before heading up.

They could hear Wally complains before running off to find Megan. Robin shook his head as they climbed the stairs. "You'll have to open the door."

"I'll wait to put in the code in this time." Kon stood in front of the keypad and imputed Robin's access number. He had forgotten they each had different numbers and, after inputting his own without response, grew impatient and ripped the door off the hinges. He knew better now.

Robin walked into the room and over to the TV to set up the console. It didn't take him long to plug everything in and turn back to Kon. "What do you want to play? Fighting? Racing? Shooting?"

"What's that one you two usually play...it's got a girl's name in it but the kid wears green." Kon sat on the floor in front of the television.

"The Legend of Zelda?" Robin went back over to his stack of games to see if he had brought it upstairs. "It's not a two-player, but I can help you play."

"No it has to be something we both can..." Kon pointed to a racing game. "What about that?"

"Burnout?" Robin grabbed another box and handed it to Kon.

"And it's two-player? Yeah, do this one."

Robin took the box back took the disk out, sliding it into the black console. He grabbed two controllers that were sitting next to the TV and handed one to Kon, quickly explaining how to use it.

The opening sequence to the game started and Kon waited while Robin set to work picking the conditions. He'd make a selection when prompted, but as of now, thought this a poor choice. Wally and Robin always sounded so energetic and excited when they played, and now Robin was simply droning on and telling him what to do. The first race started and the game counted down to green.

Robin immediately passed Kon's car and a few other the other racers, merging onto the freeway where there were even more cars. Kon gritted his teeth and pressed the button harder. His little car speed up and barreled into everything in its path, causing more damage and slowing him down even more.

"You shouldn't hit things," Robin chuckled, dodging past an 18 wheeler.

"How is this like really driving? Megan doesn't use a joystick. And makes it so happy anyway?" Kon crashed into another car and his car burst into flames. "What!"

Robin couldn't help but laugh. "It's just the name. Don't move it so much, ease it, like this." He leaned over to show Kon how he was playing.

Kon watched Robin's work the little protruding stick and tried to mimic his motions. He swerved around a car and sped into a telephone pole.

"That was...better," Robin moved back into his original space. "You just need more practice."

"This is stupid." Kon lowered his head and pressed the start button and paused the game.

"Don't be sore," Robin said, setting down his controller anyway. "We can play something else."

"You pick something. Something that if I'm bad, something won't set on fire."

Robin stretched himself out towards the stack and grabs another box. "Here. This is Soul Calibur. It's a fighting game."

"Button smashing? Er...pressing...that should be easier."

Robin slid Burnout out and pushed Soul Calibur in. He selected versus mode and picked Voldo for himself and waited for Kon to make his selection. Kon looked through the characters and settled on the green wearing one he recognized from the other game.

Robin picked a battle field where it would be hard for Kon to be knocked off. "Okay, just...click all the buttons first so you know what each of them done."

Link throws a bomb. "Is he supposed to do that?"

"Yes," Robin said, making Voldo wiggle away from the bomb. "He has a bow and arrow too."

"So he's like Speedy..." Kon pushed a few combinations and Link slashed, threw his boomerang, and fired a few arrows.

Robin let Voldo get hit a few times, dropping his HP a bit. "Got the hang of it yet?"

"I think so." He looked at their stats. "Shouldn't mine take some damage so we're even again?"

"No, let's just fight," Robin grinned. Voldo shimmied forward, heading towards Link and hissing.

Kon jumped at the strange noise and Link hurled another bomb. "Make it stop doing that, it's freaky!"

"Can't. That's what he does."

Voldo hissed again and struck out at Link. Link threw another bomb and tried to whack Voldo with his boomerang. Voldo moved out of the way and hissed. He lifted Link up onto his Cat Claws and spun him around before throwing him back onto the field.

Kon pressed the buttons randomly. Link fire set of arrows but they missed. Robin looked over at Kon's face and moved Voldo so that the last few arrows hit him, dropping his health into the red.

Link thwacked Voldo in the head with his boomerang and Voldo's health hit zero. Voldo hissed on final down before clasping in a heap of spikes and leather.

Kon dropped the controller and pumped his fists in the air. "Whoo~"

Robin chuckled and watched as his friend celebrated, the cloud from earlier lifting. "Having fun now?"

"Yeah, lots." Kon turned to Robin with a smile and pressed their foreheads together. "Thank you."

"Y-You're welcome," Robin scolded himself for stuttering, having not expected Kon to be so close so suddenly.

"Something wrong?" Kon looked up and just saw white beneath Robin's mask.

"No," Robin shook his head slowly, their foreheads still touching. "Do you feel better?"

"Yeah." Kon smiled again and leaned back to give Robin some space. "So what do you want to do now?"

Robin shrugged, slightly disappointed to have the other's heat away. "We...could watch TV? Or leave?"

"Leave? Are you hungry or something?"

"No," Robin shook on his head. "But we could hang out? Or see a movie, or-" I'm rambling.

"What's a movie?" Kon titled his head to the side at the word. "It's like a big telelvision right?"

"It's...well, no," Robin sighed. "A movie is a story, usually about an hour and twenty minutes long."

"Okay, let's do that then. Then can we get some food after?"

"Sure," Robin turned to hide the blush he thought might stain his cheeks. Dinner and a movie? Sounds like a date. "I'll need to change before we go."

"I guess I should too?" Kon pointed down at his S shield.

"Do you own any other shirts?" Robin asked with a raised eyebrow. "I've never seen you wear any and there's no way you can fit my clothes."

"Batman gave me some clothes...I guess some of Nightwing's old stuff?" Kon stood up. "It's not really my style but I could find something."

"Okay. Put that on and meet me downstairs in five minutes," Robin said, already taking off his cape and gloves.

Kon passed Wally in the hallway on the way to his room. "Black Canary school you again?"

"Shut up," Wally grumbled, rubbing his back. "Not as bad as she got you."

"Yeah, but I've been getting better." Kon flicked his nose lightly.

Wally frowned and rubbed his nose. "You look better. Going somewhere?"

"Robin and I are...seeing a movie." Kon shrugged. "Then getting something to eat."

"Sounds like a date," Wally giggled and ribbed Kon playfully. "Don't have him out too late. I expect him home by 12 o'clock~"

"A date?" Kon didn't understand what was funny. "What's a date?"

"Man, did they teach you anything?" Wally asked, exasperated. "A date is when a guy and a girl, well, in your case, a guy and a guy, who like each other arrange to go out somewhere, usually because they have 'romantic feelings' for each other."

"Romantic...you mean like kissing and sex?" The word left Kon's lips so easily.

Wally's face turned red and he tried hard not to laugh. "Yes. Definitely kissing and sex. That's how dates usually end if the couple is happy in the end."

"It can't be a date then, where would it go?" Kon shook his head and started back for his room.

"I'm sure Robin has some other 'openings' available," Wally snorted, not sure if Kon was being serious or joking.

Kon ignored Wally's comments and went into his room. He opened the closet and looked through the shirts Batman had given him. They looked nice but none of them really seemed like what he'd wear. He looked down at his shirt and traced the S once before pulling the shirt off. He reached into the closet and grabbed the nearest thing, a simple white shirt with Japanese kanji and a soda bottle.

That should be good enough. Kon slid the shirt on and looked at himself in the mirror. Robin said movies lasted an hour and twenty minutes, the sun would have set by then. He grabbed a leather jacket and set his arms inside. That was better.

Robin was waiting by the entrance for Kon, sporting his usual black jacket over a red hoodie. His sunglasses were carefully in place, even though the Sun was reading to set.

"Is this okay?" Kon approached with smile.

"Looks good," Robin smiled, pushing himself off the wall he had been leaning on. "Do you think you could get us there without being seen?"

"Possibly. You want me to carry you?"

"Well I can't fly on my own," Robin pointed out with a grin. "I could sit on your back if you don't want to carry me."

"Your legs would just dig into my back." Kon turned and bent down. He waited for a beat and Robin didn't move. "You want a lift or what?"

Robin looked to make sure Wally or Artemis wasn't near before wrapping his arms around Kon's neck. Kon stood up and put one arm behind his back to keep Robin steady before taking off. Robin buried his face into Kon's neck so the wind didn't blow his glasses off his face or make it harder to breath. Some time along the way, his legs had snaked themselves around the larger heroes waist.

Kon moved his arm once he was sure Robin was comfortable and he broke through the clouds. "You okay down there?"

"Yeah," Robin said. His words were slightly muffled by Kon's neck, so he moved so that he could look up at the other. "Just don't drop me. Try explaining that to Batman."

"I won't drop you." He chuckled and moved to wrap one arm around Robin. "There, now you're totally safe."

Robin nodded and kept his face out, but turned away from the wind so he could breathe. "We should land at least a block away behind the theatre so no one notices and we can walk to wherever we want to eat."

"You'll have to tell me where to land then." The wind rushed past their ears and Kon swooped down into a cloud only to breach like a whale and crest out again. "Wally said something weird earlier, when I left to change."

"Wally is always saying something weird," Robin argued. "I wouldn't worry about it." He looked down. "Start descending. We can land in the alley a block away."

"Okay..." Kon slowed his descent and landed feet first. He had his other arm around Robin as they were coming down and left his hands settled at his waist. "We're here."

Robin's feet touched the ground carefully, but he kept his arms around Kon until he was sure he was steady.

"Robin, you can let go." Kon slowly pulled him off.

"Right," Robin let go quickly and dusted any stray debris that managed to stick to his clothes. He gestured to the opening of the alley."Shall we?"

There was a decent crowd of teenagers lined up. Kon looked over the movie posters but didn't really see anything he thought interesting. "They all look the same to me You pick something."

"Two for RED," Robin said once he'd gotten up to the booth. He paid the teenage girl there that was manning the tickets and couldn't help but notice how dreamily she was staring behind him.

Kon didn't seem to notice at all and looked around into the theatre. He gazed through the wall and saw the line for the popcorn stand was long as well. "There're lines for everything."

Robin gave the girl a glare, knowing she wouldn't be able to see it, as he took their tickets. He turned to Kon and put an arm around his shoulder and edged him to the door. "Got the tickets. Let's go."

"Really? Cool." Kon smiled and followed after Robin.

A few girls behind them in line sighed in defeat.

Kon read the movie titles to himself as they passed each door. "-angled... Tron... RED, there it is." He pointed at the door.

Robin opened the door and scanned the theatre. There were a few seats open in the risers. "We can sit up there."

The lights were started to dim and an older couple pushed past the pair. Robin glared and looked to his left. He saw a railing there and quickly climbed onto it. He dashed up the side and jumped over a kid who was already seated to land in an empty seat with another next to it near the aisle.

"Conner!" He called. "Up here!"

The lights when out for a moment and Kon easily floated up and sat down beside Robin.

"Nice seats, huh?" Robin grinned, leaning back when he saw the couple moving to sit closer to the bottom.

"Why is it so dark?" Kon's question was swallowed up when the sound system started and rang in his ears.

"So you can see the screen," Robin whispered. "Sorry about the sound...is it uncomfortable?"

"No, it's okay. I just wasn't expecting it." Kon settled into the seat. The preview's started and the theatre would rock with laughter at the funnier ones.

The movie ended with a flourish of explosion and laughter, most of the audience clapping and laughing as the credits began to roll. Robin stood and stretched, his limbs a bit stiff from having sat in one place for so long.

"Did you like the movie?" He asked Kon.

"Yeah, it was good." Kon stretched as well and his stomach grumbled.

Robin chuckled. "Let's go eat before you cause another earth quake."

"You're hilarious." Kon sat up and took a step to the side. His fingers brushed against Robin's for a moment.

A small smile tug at the corner of Robin's lips before he shook his head. He began down a few of the steps. "There are a couple of places to eat nearby. Do you have a taste for anything?"

"Not really. Anything you pick will be fine."

"Pizza it is," Robin grinned.

The walk to the pizzeria wasn't far. There were less people out as it was already dark, so the pair didn't have to very long to be seated. Kon looked out the window and watched the first few stars sparkle in the inky purple and blue sky. "It's going to be cold up there. You want to get a taxi or something halfway?"

"I'll be okay," Robin said, sipping the water that was at the table. "It didn't take you very long to get us here."

"If you're sure."

A cute girl brought their large pizza, half pepperoni, half sausage and mushroom. She made a show of setting it in front of Robin and Kon frowned for a second.

"Thanks," Robin said, not sparing the girl a glance and taking a slice from his side of the pizza.

Kon reached for a slice and bit into it, surprised by the pleasant taste. "No wonder Wally won't shut up about this. This is good."

"There's a lot of food you would probably like," Robin said after swallowing his bite. "We can try more later."

"How's everything over here?" the waitress came over a second time and smiled at both boys, but directed more of her attention to Robin.

Kon opened his mouth to speak and whipped around to look at the glass entrance. He stood up and pulled the girl roughly to the floor as a round of rifles opened fire on the pizza place. Screams and the sound of breaking glass echoed in the eatery.

Robin immediately flipped the table onto its side, providing cover. "Kon! Kon are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He put his right hand to his arm and dropped a crushed bullet. "Stay with her." He jumped over the table and glared out into the night. "And get a to-go box." He leapt through the broken window and the air sounded again with screams. But they weren't those of frightened innocent bystanders, it was criminals in pain.

Robin surveyed to make sure there were no accomplices nearby, his hand ready to reach for his utility belt, which he ad tucked carefully away into his clothing. He made his way through some of the rubble, checking everyone else for injuries.

There was a loud, collective groan from outside and a metallic creaking. Kon had wrapped a light pole around the three gunmen. The patrons applauded happily, whistling and cheering. Robin quickly rushed over to Kon.

"Is that everyone? Our cover, well at least yours, is kind of blown here."

"Yeah, it was just them." He balled up their guns as well. "Guess we gotta find a new pizza place."

"We should probably head back and report this," Robin said, hiding his disappointment that their outing was so rudely interrupted.

"I can't hold you and the pizza," Kon started to say.

The owner of the shop came up with their to-go box and two extras pizza already boxed and bagged. "It's not much..."

"Thank you," Robin said, accepting the bag. He hooked the bag carefully so that it rested on his shoulder and hooped his arms back around Kon's shoulders. "Okay. Let's go."

Kon nodded and took off into the night. They broke through the clouds a second time and moonlight covered the pair. "Is it okay to just leave everything like that?"

"There's not much we can do and I'm sure they would have called the police," Robin shifted to make sure the bag wasn't in Kon's way.

"Did that...girl say anything while you guys were down there?" A strange pang went through Kon at the thought.

"No. I'm pretty sure she was too busy being scared," Robin looked down at the clouds beneath them.

"Oh." Kon looked forward and dove down as the mountain got closer. "Are you sharing the pizza?"

"With who?" A particularly strong gust of wind blew, knocking Robin's glasses off of his face. He cursed rather loudly and shut his eyes. "Kon, stop. My glasses fell off."

Kon stopped and went into a dive. He could hear the plastic frames plummeting and reached his hand out to grab them. He pulled up at the last second and landed a few seconds later. He let out a sigh and opened his hand slowly. The frames were a little bent and there was a crack through the left lenses but they were wearable. "You might want new ones..."

"I didn't bring the stronger ones...I didn't think I'd need them," Robin looked up at Kon, his blue eyes bright in the moonlight. "Thanks for trying though."

Kon looked down and a flush came to his cheeks. He shut his eyes quickly and held the glasses out to Robin. "You'll get in trouble."

"You wouldn't tell him," Robin shrugged. He frowned when Kon stopped looking at him, and took the broken frames to examine them. "Is it different than you expected?"

"It's not that, I just didn't think-" He opened his eyes and stared up. "They're so blue. It's like I saw a gemstone just now."

Robin blushed and looked away, the glint in Kon's eyes too intense without the protection of his mask or glasses. "Shut up. Don't tease me."

"I'm serious." Kon looked down and saw now Robin wasn't making eye contact. "They're like what's the word...sapphire."

Robin turned back to Kon, one eyebrow quirked. "You—are you, hitting on me?"

"You asked me what I thought—you can't get upset about that." Kon knew what that phrase meant but didn't know if it applied to their conversation.

"I'm not upset," Robin shook his head. "You have nice eyes too."

"Thank you..." Kon took Robin's cheek against his hand and turned his head slightly. "I won't see them again, will I? It's going to be hard to forget."

"You...You might," Robin said, leaning into the hand against his face as he peered deeply into Kon's eyes. "Convince me."

"Of what?" Kon blinked in confusion. That was the third time tonight someone had said something he didn't understand, and the second time it was Robin.

"Convince me to show you again," Robin's eyes closed as he drew a hand up to rest on Kon's that was still lingering on his cheek.

"How am I supposed to do that?" Kon thought back to that stupid and weird thing Wally had said. He bent his head down and lightly pressed his lips against Robin's, unsure if that was the answer.

Robin's lips twitched against Kon's. He was surprised, but pleased, to feel the other's lips on his. Robin drew himself up onto his tip toes and grabbed onto the back of Kon's neck, pressing the other closer. There was a clear snap as Kon broke the glasses in half out of surprise. He pulled Robin closer and opened his mouth against the kiss, still timid in his actions.

Robin moaned softly, slipping his inside the warmth of Kon's mouth. He tasted amazing; like pizza, soda, and something else-another flavour that was distinctly Kon. His body heated up and he stepped closer, their torsos coming into contact.

Kon felt his heart beat faster and he let out a surprised noise. He didn't think a simple kiss would feel so good. He pulled away to catch his breath and stared down at Robin. He licked his lips and the night's chilly air reminded him of the heat he just lost. "Is that convincing?"

Robin nodded, wiping a bit of the moisture from his mouth so his lips wouldn't chap. "It's a nice start."

A little chuckle bubbled out of Kon and he pulled Robin close for another kiss. Robin had no protests and wrapped himself around Kon, kissing back hard enough for his lips to bruise.

Robin's comm. line started to beep, but both boys ignored it. A fierce wind whipped around them and Kon squeezed lightly and heard a wet squelch. That was the pizza. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Robin pulled the bag off his shoulders and dropped it onto the ground, more interested in devouring the teen in front of him than the pizza.

Robin's comm. beeped again. The beeps were more frequent. "You should probably answer that."

Robin pressed the button to activate the communicator, but did not take his eyes off of Kon. "Yes?"

"I just received an alert that a pizza parlour was attacked downtown and some kid with freak strength wrapped a light post around the perps." Batman's gruff voice broke through the communicator. "Where are you two?"

"We're just outside Mt. Justice," Robin answered, hiding the agitation of being interrupted.

"Well hurry up and get 'just inside'." The communication cut off abruptly.

Kon chuckled a little. "Wally wasn't kidding, I should get you back before midnight."

Robin frowned at that, but left it be. He looked back up at Kon. "He wants us inside."

"Think giving him some pizza will make it better?" Kon looked down at the broken frames and grimaced. "Maybe we should get some new ones before we go back..."

"That'll take too long," Robin sighed. He took off his jacket and draped it over his head so that the hood was covering most of his face. "Don't let me trip over anything."

"Promise." Kon bent down again so Robin could wrap around him.

Robin grabbed on and secured his jacket so that wouldn't fall of next, already ready for the tongue lashing he knew they were going to get.

Kon sped back into the night and landed a few yards from the mountain. He set Robin down and took the pizza bag. "Maybe you should go in first?"

"I'll be right behind you," he assured, grabbing onto the end of his shirt so he wouldn't run into anything.

The entrance opened and announced both boys as Superboy and Robin. As a surprise, both Batman and Superman were waiting. Superman quickly excused himself and departed. Kon didn't give it a thought and brought Robin up. "We didn't mean to cause any trouble."

"It's not like we asked for the pizzeria to be attacked," Robin defended. "And we couldn't just leave those people there after it did."

"Why didn't you answer your first page?" Batman's arms were crossed, and the fact that Robin was wearing a hood and ducked behind Kon wasn't lost on him.

"I was a little busy," Robin said, completely pressed to come up with a good lie. He certainly couldn't tell Batman that he was too busy kissing Superboy to worry about if there was an emergency and any lie he could come up with, he was certain the older Bat would see clear through it.

Kon saw how Batman didn't seem impressed. He cleared his throat and spoke loudly. "We brought pizza."

Robin nearly palmed himself in the face after Kon said that. He couldn't see beneath his hood, but he was certain that Batman was frowning fiercely beneath his cowl.

"Whoa! Do I smell pizza!" Wally shouted, skidding into the foyer excitedly. "Dude, Kon, you're awesome!"

Kon held the bag out and took a half step back. "Go. I'll cover for you."

Batman shook his head at the little display, but he was touched by the camaraderie the two friends were expressing. Robin did what he did best and slipped past the others and up the stairs to his room to retrieve another pair of glasses.

Wally opened one of the boxes and didn't seem too perturbed that the pizza was a bit smashed and dug in. Kon shifted a bit on his feet and to keep the space were Robin once stood blocked. Kaldur and the others soon come to the main entrance. Megan took the box from Wally's lap and set it between themselves.

Kon rocked on his heels. "Any second now, Robin..."

Artemis came down too, but didn't seem too interested in the pizza, and was just happy that Kon was back. She smiled at him and waved flirtatiously.

A hand came down on Kon's shoulder. "Thanks for the cover."

"No problem." Kon didn't notice Artemis' attention and smiled down at the one on his shoulder.

"Was there anything else?" Robin asked Batman, finally stepping from behind Kon and taking down his hood. "We're sorry about what happened. Really."

"No one was hurt and..." Batman paused and grimaced at the pun. "...it was wrapped up nicely."

Robin tried not to grin at the discomfort on the older heroe's face. "Yeah. Kon's good at 'tying up loose ends'."

"Just see that you answer promptly should the need arise." Batman reached out and patted both boys on the shoulder. "Good work."

Robin smiled in thanks and waiting until Batman's departure was announced before letting out a huge breath.

"Did something happen?" Artemis asked with an arched brow.

"Robbie and Konnie's date got ruined," Wally giggled around a slice of pizza, but wisely quieted when Robin turned on him.

"I can hurt you, Wally. And leave no trace that it was me."

"Date?" Both Artemis and Megan looked up.

"It wasn't a date," Kon argued quickly. He wasn't sure of his or Robin's feelings yet, though he did hope there were chances for better dates ahead.

"Two friends enjoying each other's company doesn't make it a date." Kaldur took his own pizza slice.

Robin went over to the table and grabbed a slice, having only gotten a bite out of his first. "It wasn't a big deal," he shrugged, playing it off like Kon. Unless he wasn't playing, of course, but he could find that out later.

"What did you guys do?" Artemis moved a chair so Robin could sit down, since it didn't appear Kon was going to.

"We saw RED and had literally a bite to eat," Robin shrugged, and thanked Artemis for the chair.

"Was it good? The movie I mean."

"Yeah, it was fine." Kon rolled his neck and stretched. "I'll see you guys in the morning."

"Night," Artemis frowned, Wally saying good night much more enthusiastically.

Robin waited until he finished his slice and had something to drink before yawning. "I'm going up too."

"Oh?" Kaldur looked over at his younger friend. "Alright, see you both in the morning then."

"Night guys," Robin waved and disappeared back up the steps.

Wally chuckled and grabbed another piece of pizza.

There was a beat of silence before Artemis spoke again. "There's no way it was a date," Artemis brushed it off easily. "They're just friends. Wally is being stupid as usual. And I know I'm not here as often as you guys, but doesn't Robin live with Batman?" Artemis asked, taking a bite from her pizza.

"He has a room here, just as you do," Kaldur answered. "He's stayed over, it's not uncommon. And they've both settled it, so drop it."

Wally chuckled to himself, choosing not to add anymore to the debate. He wondered to himself just how their 'date' was going to end.

Kon was waiting at the top of the staircase. He could still hear them talking, of course, and heard Robin's footsteps as well. Or was that his heartbeat?

"Kon?" Robin asked quietly. "What are you doing standing up here?"

"I wanted to talk to you." Kon's voice wavered a bit. He input the access code and the door to his room opened. "Just one thing, promise."

Robin followed Kon into his room and waited for him to say something.

Kon shifted on his feet again and spun quickly. "Was that a date?"

"Kind of," Robin said. "That's what some people do on dates. But it doesn't have to be." Robin frowned a bit; Kon looked uncomfortable.

Kon didn't seem satisfied with the answer. "Did...did you think it was a date?"

"I wanted it to be," Robin said confidently, hoping that the kiss they shared outside was something more than friendly. With all the hunger and heat behind it, it had to be.

A little sigh of relief escaped Kon. "Good. I wanted it to be too..." He crossed the room in two wide steps and reached to cup Robin's cheek again. He ran his fingers along the arms of the glasses but didn't try to take them off. "So I can kiss you again?"

Robin pulled Kon down and brushed their lips together softly. "You don't have to ask," he whispered.

Kon put his arms around Robin's waist and went into a freefall to his bed. Robin made a small grunt when he was jolted from the sudden drop, but held onto Kon tightly and continued to kiss him. A soft moan pressed against Robin's lips and Kon opened his mouth again, sliding his tongue into the other.

The shorter teen shifted in his new position above Kon. His own tongue moved to tentatively rub against the other's. Robin moaned when the newly familiar flavour of Kon assaulted his senses.

It was so strange for something to move inside his mouth that he had no control over. Kon nudged his foot between Robin's and his knee accidently grounded up against the other's crotch.

Robin gasped and broke the kiss, burying his face into the other's nape. "Nnngh."

"Robin?" Kon looked down worriedly. "Is something wrong, are you hurt?"

"No," Robin pulled back, his face slightly flushed. "You, um—it felt good."

"Are you sure? It sounded like it hurt." Kon paused. "What did I do?"

Robin couldn't say it, so decided it would be easier if Kon could feel it for himself. He moved his leg carefully so that it was pressed against Kon's groin. Kon let out a sudden groan and bit his lip to stifle the sound.

"That's what you did," Robin said, watching Kon carefully for his reaction. "Did you like it?"

"Yeah..." Kon's cheeks grew hot and he gently rubbed his knee at Robin again.

Robin moaned softly and reached down with one hand, gently kneading Kon through his jeans.

Kon squeezed his eyes shut and tried to contain a new, feral sound. He'd never been touched like that before and it was strange and exciting.

Robin tilted his head down so he could watch his hand grazing over Kon's body. He could feel the heat seeping out from the rough fabric, and gave a small smile when he felt the bulge beneath his hand firming.

Kon moaned shyly at the touch, unsure of what was happening to his body. His skin felt like it was on fire and his toes curled in his boots. His breath came out in shallow pants and he spread his legs wider, giving Robin more room to move.

Robin smiled, taking that as a sign that Kon was okay with what he was doing. He gave the growing bulge an experimental squeeze and looked back up to press a tiny kiss to the corner of Kon's mouth.

Kon's tongue slipped out and glazed Robin's lips. "It feels weird..."

"Don't like it?" Robin asked, stilling his motions. Maybe this sort of thing didn't feel the same to Kryptonians?

"I didn't say that." Kon's cheeks were red again. "It's just...it feels weird, but it's a good weird."

"Oh," Robin smiled and started caressing Kon again.

Kon moved his knee against Robin again. "It's hard."

Robin grunted and moved his body to rub back against Kon. He bit his lip. "I know. You're pretty hard too."

Kon reached his hand between himself and Robin, touching the other boy first before himself. "So that was that weird feeling then?"

"What weird feeling?" Robin asked, moving his hand up to rub at Kon's stomach.

Kon pressed his hand to Robin's heart. "Don't you feel it too?"

Robin blinked in suprise behind his sunglasses. He reached up to hold his hand to the one on his chest. "You-you felt something here too?"

"Yeah." Kon stared past the dark lenses to the deep blue eyes he couldn't forget. "It's like...my heart is trying to catch up with the rest of me."

"Do you like me Kon?" Robin asked curiously. "Not like everyone else. Differently."

"I don't want to kiss everyone else, Robin." Kon lowered his hand slowly and settled it on Robin's growing bulge. "And...I wouldn't want anyone else to be like this with me either."

Robin nodded. He shifted so that he was sitting on Kon's lap, their groins pressed together tightly. He squeezed the other 's hand still in his grasp. "I feel that way too, Kon."

Kon gave a little smile and drew his hand back up to Robin's cheek. He dragged his fingers across the skin before sliding to his neck and pulling him down for another kiss.

Robin moaned into the kiss and pushed Kon down so that he was laying flat against the mattress. He reached up and removed his sunglasses, setting them on the nightstand by the bedside. "Don't want to break another pair..."

"I'll get you some new ones." Kon's voice came out softly and he kissed Robin again. "For our second date."

Robin's tongue darted out and lapped at Kon's lower lip. He felt a sudden wave over excitement, causing him to buck his hips into the other's. Kon gave out a startled yelp and rolled upward against Robin. Robin moved to grip Kon's shoulder, giving himself an anchor to pushed himself down harder. Kon grunted at the friction and thrust upward again, trying to return the motion.

Robin's breath began to get heavy and he dropped his head. "K-Kon, wait. This is too fast."

"I can slow down if you want." Kon relaxed back onto the mattress.

Robin nodded and kissed at Kon's neck. "We can sometime," he whispered huskily into the other's ear. "Go faster, I mean. After we've had another date?"

"That sounds okay." Kon sat up slowly, his arms now settled around Robin's waist. He grabbed the sunglasses and held them selfishly for a moment before sliding them onto Robin.

"Thanks," Robin said, still looking at Kon from behind the dark frames.

Kon reached behind Robin's eyes and flipped the tips of the glasses up. He leaned forward and kept his eyes open so he could see into Robin's as they kissed one last time for the night.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Robin said, scooting off of the bed. He turned back to Kon when he hand was on the door. "I really had fun today, Kon."

"Me too." Kon did a little wave.

Robin gave Kon one last smile then was gone. Only a few minutes passed before they door creaked open again.

"Hey, Kon," Wally grinned, inviting himself into the other's room.

Kon made a little disgruntled noise at the intrusion. "Hey Wally." He shifted on the bed and drew the covers up. He was lying on his side so the bulge in his jeans wasn't so obvious.

"So?" Wally grinned and moved closer to the bed. "Was it a date?"

"I already told you it wasn't." Kon inched away. "Shouldn't you be getting to bed?"

"So you didn't kiss?" Wally asked, sounding almost disappointed and ignoring the second question.

That implied just one, right? "No." Kon shifted again. "I'm tired, Wally."

Wally drooped a bit, but perked up quickly. "He's probably just shy! You'll nail 'em next time! Night, Kon!" He dashed out of the room again before Kon had the chance to respond.

"Nail..." Kon watched his door slide shut and threw the covers off. He looked down at his crotch and saw the bulge move under his gaze. "...should've found out how to fix this first."
