A/N: This is based off the episode "Insecurity", so to put it bluntly I really really really don't own YJ. This is all just for fun and entertainment. Anyways Koy fluff, not into it don't read it. You have been warned. Rated K, for now.
A few weeks went by since the first incident with Kaldur's breathing issue. Since then he's been in someway ignoring the thought and moved on.
One day he entered the cave, after receiving an urgent call from Batman, only to discover Red Arrow, Batman, and Green Arrow standing there with the team minus Artemis. That is when he heard Red Arrow had decided to finally join the team. He smiles and welcomes his friend as he always did. That's when he heard Artemis enter the cave. Through the events that he watched occurr he knew the two archers had never really seen eye to eye. Soon enough Green Arrow gives a mission to him, Kid Flash, and Red Arrow. Nervously Kaldur felt a knot in his stomach began to form, but quickly dismissed the feeling when he heard Artemis volunteer herself, placing note that she had more hours logged into the bio ship. With a small smile he quietly agreed and once settled on who was going they set off to pack.
Placing the jet ski in the back of the bio ship Kaldur felt the need to make small talk to the red headed archer.
"I gather you did not join the team for the camaraderie.", he stated quietly before looking up at Roy.
"And not to please GA either.", Roy answered in a harsh tone, before continuing.
"There's a mole on your team, Kaldur. You don't wanna face it, so I will, and suspect number one is Artemis.", he finished without giving Kaldur time to speak in return. With a heavy sigh he followed the direction Red Arrow went to enter the bio ship. Once inside they headed to their destination.
The mission was really heading south.
After the failed attempt fighting against Sportsmaster Aqualad followed through on Red Arrow's word to follow Sportsmaster to his destination. Quietly he moved through the water only to hear an explosion behind him. With a quick look he turned around worried for his friend, but once he saw Roy in the water unharmed he turned back around finding a tracer floating down in front of him.
With curiosity he grabs the tracer taking a quick moment to examine the piece before he noticed the bombs that followed as well. Surprised he swam as quickly as he could only for the blast to push him harshly through the water, but thanks to his atlantean skin he was luckily unharmed. With another sigh he started to swim up only to hear Roy call out his name.
"Aqualad!"
When hearing that he freezes, feeling water rush down his throat instead of his gills. He coughs violently for a few seconds before finding his regular breathing pattern again.
"Here.", he calls calmly once he reaches the surface, seeing the worried look the archer was giving him. He quickly turns away with a slight blush on his face and reaches for his com.
"Artemis, Kid, listen. Throw the fight, so we may follow Cheshire and Sportsmaster in cover.", he says as both agree.
Swimming back to shore Aqualad watches Roy from behind in wonder and becomes confused by his previous actions. He once again feels the knot form in his stomach as they headed to meet up with Artemis and Kid. That very same knot suddenly disappears again and he sighs quietly when he hears the bickering between the two archers.
This was going to be a long night.
