Covering his face with the pillow as the sunlight hit his face, Beast Boy groaned, annoyed that he was forced to wake up. He forgot to close the curtains last night (again). He glanced at the clock on his nightstand. 9:00 am. Too early for him.
Lazily, he got out of bed to close them. Then, as he was about to get back on his bed to continue sleeping, he smelt something. He sniffed the air trying to discover what it was. It smelt like food. It smelt like... pancakes? His face lit up recognizing the smell of this delicious food.
Quickly, he opened his closet, grabbed a clean uniform and put it on. Then he glanced at himself on the mirror and fixed his hair a little before opening the door and running toward the ops room.
When he arrived he found the rest of the team already sitting around the table and having breakfast. Raven was drinking her tea, an empty plate of pancakes sitting in front of her (she eats fast), Starfire was excitedly pouring mustard on her pancakes, while Cyborg ate his own and looked at her choice of syrup with disgust, and Robin was eating his pancakes as he read the newspaper.
"Look who decided to have breakfast with us today!" Cyborg said, noticing Beast Boy approaching them.
"Good morning!"
Everyone looked up at him with surprise as he occupied his usual place between Raven and Cyborg.
"I'm glad you decided to join us in the fast break today, Beast Boy!" four years living on the Earth and still Starfire didn't know how to say 'breakfast' right.
Beast Boy smiled at her, watching how she poured even more mustard on her food.
"Since when do you wake up so early?" Raven asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Since we have pancakes for breakfast. Can you make me some, Cy?"
"You're lucky I'm the best friend ever and I made a vegan mix for you" he said, getting up from his seat and going to the kitchen.
"Thanks dude"
Robin and Starfire stopped eating and waited for Cyborg to come back and Beast Boy's pancakes to be ready so they all could eat together. They rarely had breakfast together so they were willing to wait (even Raven stopped drinking her tea). In the meantime they just chatted about pointless things, but the friendly chatting became an argument between Raven and Beast Boy about what was better, pancakes or waffles.
"Say whatever you want Beast Boy, but I still think waffles are better and I'm not going to change my mind" Raven said crossing her arms.
"Oh come on! Pancakes are way better and you know it!" he reached out and grabbed Robin's plate. "Look at this, it's delicious!"
"Please leave my food out of this"
"Okay kids that's enough" Cyborg finally finished cooking Beast Boy's pancakes and was back at the table. "Let's go back to have breakfast" he sat on his seat, giving Robin's food back to him and placing a full plate of vegan pancakes in front of Beast Boy.
"Technically, Beast Boy is the only kid here" Raven whispered under her breath.
"Well, this 'kid' is actually taller than you" he said while chewing his food.
"What? Sorry I don't understand kids when they talk with their mouth full"
"I said that I'm taller, shortie"
"Do you want me to throw you through the window again?"
"Enough! I don't want to hear you two fighting again during breakfast" Robin said firmly. "Once we finish eating you can throw him through the window if you want"
"What? Dude I thought you were on my side!"
"What side?" Starfire asked confused.
"The 'don't throw Beast Boy through a window' side"
"I wish to be on that side please!"
"Cool, at least someone here appreciates me" he said taking a bit of his pancake.
Starfire turned to Robin and Raven and looked at them with disappointment.
"I cannot believe that the both of you wish to throw our friend through a window"
Cyborg chuckled at how cute and innocent Starfire was and Robin and Raven just rolled their eyes back and took a sip of their drinks, Beast Boy watching the whole scene with amusement.
Suddenly he detected the smell of vanilla coming from somewhere. He searched for the source of the smell, and it turned out to be Robin's coffee. It smelt like he added vanilla extract to it, which was weird, because he was always saying that coffee is better when you don't add anything to it. After a while, realization hit him: he added vanilla to his coffee for him. Because Robin knew that he didn't really like the taste of coffee and that he loved vanilla. He was doing it so when they kissed, Beast Boy could taste vanilla on Robin's mouth. That was... very sweet of him.
Beast Boy looked at him trying (and failing) to suppress a smile. Robin felt someone staring him and looked up to met a pair of green eyes. He smiled back and blushed, because he knew that Beast Boy knew. Beast Boy knew he added vanilla extract to his coffee for him.
Robin looked down at the newspaper and discreetly touched his neck, recalling what happened yesterday. He still couldn't believe that he moaned his name, but he just couldn't help it. He bit his lower lip remembering the feeling of his fangs biting his neck and his soft lips against his skin. It was amazing. At the beginning he was worried about hickeys and bite marks, but all of his worries were gone when he looked at himself on the mirror this morning and realized that he looked good with a hickey.
He just hoped that it disappeared soon, because it was summer, and sooner or later they will have to go to the beach.
._._._._.
Apparently the villains decided to give the Teen Titans a day off, and while the boys and Starfire were going to enjoy this day, Raven wasn't.
Beast Boy sat on the middle of the couch with Cyborg sitting at his left and Robin at his right. They were playing a car race video game, and surprisingly, Beast Boy wasn't in last place.
"I can't believe you're worse than Beast Boy"
"Shut up" Robin and Beast Boy said at the same time.
They continued playing until (obviously) Cyborg won, with Beast Boy in second place. Beast Boy loved when Robin joined him and Cyborg to play video games, because that meant that he wouldn't be always in last place. Also, being better than Robin at something felt good.
"And, as always, I'm the winner" Cyborg grinned as the green boy rolled his eyes.
"You guys want to play again?" Robin asked innocently. He didn't take video games as seriously as Beast Boy and Cyborg did.
"Wow you really like to get your ass kicked" the half robot man laughed.
Robin was going to say something but was interrupted by Raven yelling at Starfire as they entered the room.
"I still don't understand why we have to do this!"
The three boys turned their heads towards the girls.
"Because we made a deal: once a week, you will go with me to the mall and I will meditate with you. And we meditated on Monday, so now we must go to the mall!"
"But why today? I can finally meditate without interruptions!"
"Because on Wednesday everything is on sale! Also, today there is not any bad guy attacking the city, so it's perfect!"
"That's exactly why I can meditate without interruptions..."
"Well I'm sorry Raven, but I do not care" Starfire grabbed Raven's arm so she couldn't go anywhere.
The elevator doors opened and Raven groaned as Starfire pulled her inside.
"Bye friends!" Starfire smiled to the boys and waved her hand.
"Uhh, have fun?" Beast Boy said raising an eyebrow.
The elevator doors closed and the boys turned back to the screen.
"Did any of you know about this 'deal'?" Robin asked a little confused.
"Nope. I can't believe Raven accepted it. I once asked her to come with me to the comic shop and she said... well she didn't say anything, she just slammed the door in my face"
"Yeah yeah, poor Raven. Now, let's go back to the game!" Cyborg said.
They played for hours. Sometimes Beast Boy was in last place and sometimes Robin, but Cyborg always was the winner, and the other two boys weren't really happy about that. One time Beast Boy almost won, but he end up losing because Cyborg accidentally kicked him, making his controller to fall on the floor. After a little fight about this they continued playing.
"Okay, one last race. Then I need to go to do some extra training"
"You went running last night, right? I think that counts as extra training" Cyborg said, his eyes glued to the screen.
Robin glanced at Beast Boy, who gave him a quick nervous smile before looking back at the game.
"Yeah, I was supposed to go running last night, but I didn't. There was something on tv and I got... distracted" he said, unconsciously rubbing his neck.
Beast Boy saw how Robin touched his neck and wondered if he had a hickey. It was the first time he kissed someone's neck so he didn't know how long did he have to suck, bite or kiss for a mark to appear. He has kissed and made out with some girls before, but he never dared to kiss other place than their lips, so he has zero experience with neck kissing. But judging by Robin reaction, he was pretty good at it. Beast Boy decided to ask him later, and if he had a hickey, he wanted to see it. Plus he was sure that he would look hot with one. Not that he needed a hickey to make him look good, he was already very handsome.
Beast Boy blushed at this last unexpected thought, but it was a fact that Robin was handsome. It didn't mean anything. Even Cyborg, a straight boy, would also agree on this. He would agree that Robin is a good looking guy. A very good looking guy.
Beast Boy blushed again and shaked his head trying to push those thoughts away and noticed that Cyborg was talking to him.
"Dude are you listening to me?!"
He looked at the screen before turning to Cyborg. The half robot man won (again) and he lost, with Robin in second place. Talking about Robin, where was he? Oh right, he said needed to do some extra training, he was probably at the gym already.
"What? No sorry, I was thinking. What did you say?"
"I asked you what were you laughing about last night"
What? Laughing? Oh. Oh. He heard them. How? His room isn't even close to his, and everyone was supposed to be asleep. He had to play it cool. Like he didn't know what he was talking about. Yeah, just play it cool.
"W-What are you talking about? What laughing?" he stuttered. Well done Beast Boy, that's exactly how to play it cool.
"I woke up because I was thirsty, so I went to the kitchen to drink water, and when I was on the hallway I heard laughs coming from your room. You were laughing so loud that it looked like there was more than one person in there. So, what was so funny?"
"Uhh"
He had to say something or Cyborg would suspect that there was something going on, but he was speechless. Beast Boy was the best telling lies or giving excuses, but Cyborg never fell for them. But he couldn't tell him the truth. What should he say?
"Was it a comedy movie or something?"
Cyborg didn't know it, but he just gave Beast Boy the answer to his own question.
"Yes! A movie. I was watching a movie on my laptop. A very funny movie" he said too quickly.
"What movie?"
Shit
"What?"
"What was the title of the movie you were watching?" Cyborg asked rising an eyebrow.
Oh no he was starting to suspect.
"I don't remember"
"You don't remember"
"Yeah"
They stared at each other, Beast Boy smiling nervously and Cyborg analyzing him.
"Are you lying to me?" he asked crossing his arms.
He had to think about something quick.
"Of course no Cy! I really don't remember! But... um... Adam Sandler was on it" bingo.
"Okay..." he uncrossed his arms. "Then I guess the movie was really funny. I love that actor"
"Yeah he's very good" Beast Boy heaved a sigh of relief. "Anyway, I gotta go"
He got up and ran towards the elevator. He pressed the elevator button and turned around and smiled at Cyborg, who was looking at him with confusion.
"Where are you going?"
"I... I am going to train with Robin. He said that I needed some extra training too"
"Since when do you listen to what he says?" Cyborg chuckled.
"I don't know man" he laughed nervously as the elevator doors opened and he got inside.
._._._._.
The doors opened and he stepped out of the elevator. He scanned the gym and spotted him next to the lockers where they kept their gym clothes. He probably was going to change because he was still wearing his uniform.
"Robin!"
Robin turned around and saw Beast Boy approaching him.
"Hi Beast Boy, what are you doing here?" he said once that the green boy was by his side.
"He heard us"
"What?"
"We have to be more careful"
"What are you talking about?" he was starting to feel confused.
"You said everybody was sleeping but he wasn't!"
"Seriously what?" now he was confused.
"I know! I know it's not your fault, how would you know that?"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"But nobody can know about this, we must be more careful. And more silent!" he was gesticulating too much.
"Beast Boy stop"
"Maybe it's not a big deal for you but-!"
"Garfield!"
Robin grabbed his wrists to make him stop moving his hands in front of their faces, and calling him by his real name finally made him shut up. Slowly, he lowered their hands but didn't let go of his wrists. He loosened his grip and looked at him in the eyes.
"Stop freaking out and tell me what happened" he said softly trying to make him calm down.
"Okay" Beast Boy took a deep breath before continue talking. "Cyborg said he heard laughs coming from my room last night. He heard us laughing about that pussy joke I made. Obviously I couldn't tell him the truth so I told him I was watching a comedy movie"
"And did he believe you?"
"Yes, I think so"
"Then what's the problem?"
"Robin don't you get it? We almost got caught! What would have happened if I didn't come up with an excuse? Or what if, last night, he opened the door to tell me to shup up? Maybe you don't care about what would happen but I do! Because everybody knows you are bi but I am not ready to tell the world that I am bisexual! For you is not a big deal, but everybody thinks I'm straight and-!"
"Gar" Robin let go of his wrists and placed his hands on his face. "It's okay. He doesn't know. Next time we will be more careful. Nobody will find out about... um... this. I promise"
Beast Boy sighed and closed his eyes, relaxing under his touch. Robin watched him calm down and stared at him in silence. He never really noticed how long his eyelashes were, or that he had freckles. The freckles made him look even cuter than he already was. And his eyebrows, were they black or a dark shade of green? Then he looked at his soft lips, slightly parted, and suddenly felt the urge to kiss him. He was... he was beautiful.
He was glad that the green boy had his eyes closed because otherwise, he would have seen him blushing. Did he really think that Beast Boy was beautiful? Yes he was attractive but he couldn't call him beautiful. Neither of his friends would call him beautiful, so he couldn't use that word either. They would say that he's good looking or that he's handsome, not beautiful.
Beast Boy opened his eyes and found Robin staring at him. Robin looked up from his lips to his eyes and realized that there was more than one shade of green in them. Looking at his eyes was like getting lost in a forest.
Fuck it, he was beautiful.
"What?" Beast Boy whispered, Robin's hands still on his face.
"Nothing" he said getting closer to him.
"What are you doing?" he asked, getting closer too.
"What are you doing"
"Nothing" he put his hands on Robin's waist and pressed their lips together.
Beast Boy's worries were gone as soon as their lips touched, and he chuckled against the kiss when he noticed the sweet taste of vanilla. When Beast Boy parted his lips to laugh, Robin captured his lower lip between his. It was a short kiss, but that didn't mean that it was bad.
Once the kiss was over they rested their foreheads against each other's.
"Are you okay now?"
"Yeah"
"Good. I'm glad I helped but I really need to do that extra training" he placed his hands on his shoulders, pushing him away very gently.
"Yeah sure" he said removing his hands from Robin's waist.
They smiled at each other before Beast Boy turned around and walked towards the elevator. But then Robin frowned thinking about something and grabbed the younger boy's arm.
"Wait"
Beast Boy turned to him and Robin let go of his arm.
"What?"
"So, you had that conversation with Cyborg and then, suddenly, you just came running to the gym? Isn't that a little suspicious?" he said crossing his arms.
"No, I'm not an idiot! I told him that you said I needed to train too"
"And you pretend to go back to the ops room now? How long have we been here, 7 minutes? What are you going to tell him, that I changed my mind? He's not going to believe that, I never change my mind"
"Yes, I'm aware of your stubbornness. Then what do you want me to do?"
"Well, it is true that you need some extra training" he said as he tapped his chin.
"You can't be serious"
"I'm totally serious. Go change into your gym clothes, you're going to train without powers"
He turned around and opened his locker to take his clothes.
"Without powers?! Why do you hate me dude!" Beast Boy complained.
"I don't hate you" Robin patted him on the back and headed toward the locker room. "Now take your clothes and get changed!" he shouted before disappearing behind the door of the locker room.
Beast Boy groaned and opened his locker. Maybe telling Cyborg the truth would have been better than this.
