A/N: Give a big hand to GothicYolita, who correctly guessed that the quote in the last chapter was based on Xiaolin Showdown character Jack Spicer's classic line "Note to self: When I rule the world, vaporize all mimes."

Warning: Sentimentality ahead.

I would also like to mention that my beloved is an angel, who not only doesn't care that I'm writing gay smut, but is actually going to beta for me. Although he did talk me out of naming our firstborn Slade. J

C is for Cacophony

*bang*

"That doesn't sound good."

*wham*

"Dude, I thought Robin was sick. Why is he training?"

"I don't know, but we missed Ninja Aliens 3 to bring his sick butt some pizza. He better have a good explanation."

*whump*boom*thud*

"Friends, what is making that cacophony?"

Cyborg and Beast Boy turned to stare at Starfire as she floated worriedly up the hallway.

"What's a caca . . . coco . . . whatever?" Beast Boy wondered aloud.

"Cacophony- a loud, discordant noise, kind of like the ones Robin is making right now." Raven's dry voice was loud in the sudden silence. "Starfire decided to improve her English by reading the dictionary."

Starfire nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I will now be using a plethora of common neologisms!"

In one movement, BB and Cy turned to look at Raven. "She'll be using all kinds of new slang now," Raven translated. "I suggest you both invest in a thesaurus."

"What does this have to do with dinosaurs?" Beast Boy asked.

Before any of them could answer, the training room doors opened. They turned as one to berate their leader- and froze in shock.

A naked and very sweaty Robin had his legs wrapped around the waist of an equally naked man, who was kissing him passionately as he carried Robin through the door.

Slade didn't even pause as he strode past the stunned teenagers, taking advantage of their shock to make it down the hall and around a corner before any of them could speak. The cat was out of the bag, and it would be better if the rest of the team had time to cool off before confronting Robin.

More importantly, he had a naked and very eager bird in his arms. He wasn't about to lose the opportunity because a few Titan sensibilities had been rattled.

Robin barely registered the sensation of movement as Slade carried him to the bedroom. His eyes were closed and he was lost in the feeling of Slade's lips on his.

He thought of his team and felt a momentary pang of guilt for bailing out on Team Movie Day. But he'd been dying for some alone time with Slade . . . Robin moaned in sheer bliss as Slade dropped him onto the bed and started doing something sinful with his tongue. In his last few moments of coherency, he decided it was okay.

What his friends didn't know wouldn't hurt them.

"Dude! Was Robin about to . . . with that guy . . . that guy was really old!" Beast Boy spluttered, somehow looking greener than usual.

"Man, that was-"

"None of our business." Raven interjected firmly. Starfire was still staring, open-mouthed, in the direction the man carrying Robin had taken.

"I was gonna say 'a group hallucination', but that works too." Cyborg looked around "So . . . who wants to go back to the mall?"

Team Movie Day was totally back on.
