Prompt: "Ever kiss underwater?"

Please review if you like the collection! It's a little disheartening not to get any feedback on any and each chapter. :(

He liked to think of it as a date, though he was fully well aware it was a practice drill for Nightingale, assigned by Black Canary. Passing a quick glance Kaldur released a sigh when Kagome broke through the calm surface of the water with no problem. She was an excellent swimmer, but she struggled with deep dives.

Which became apparent after an ambush that struck the bioship some days ago and it fell into the middle of the ocean. The heavy attack forced the team to literally bail from the sinking ship, as Miss Martian was absent for a separate mission. There was no way to save the ship without her to revive and pull it back into the sky.

Everyone made it out, breaking through the water and gasped for air.

Everyone except Nightingale that was.

Thankfully, Aqualad got her just in time.

Ever since then Black Canary had been eying her protege for poorly handling her disorientation. She eventually decided to put Kaldur on a training assignment to help Kagome out on her 'little issue'. If she had known about the fullest extend of their relationship (plus one—said one was still off pouting elsewhere for related reasons), she probably would've assign Tempest instead.

Though, Kaldur fully intended to at least follow through. He held doubts that he could last long though, particularly when Kagome looked rather stunning in the water. Funny, Kaldur spent nearly all of his life underwater, but hardly ever entertained the ideas of his little girlfriend being in and/or under water, outside the missions.

"I'm done with the basics!" Kaldur blinked at Kagome's breathless announcement.

Shaking his head at his own silliness he tapped stop on his waterproof phone, Kaldur slipped in a small approving smile at the time, "You're doing very well." He waded closer to Kagome. He couldn't help but to rest his eyes on her rising chest, "Would you like a break?"

Kagome eyed him with an odd glint, "Really? It's looking more like you need a break from trying not to jump my bones there." With a splash she hid her grin from under the water.

"Maybe we both need a break." He couldn't keep in his smile, and before Kagome could react, Kaldur pounced.

Water clashing drowned out her surprised squeal, and concealed the warmth from the Alantean's arms wrapping around her petite the water calmed followed their laughter, "Kaldur, you big flirt!" Kagome flustered though her grin was growing at his affection.

"Me, a flirt?" He said in midst of his many kisses into her wet hair, "Nooo…" She could feel his smile and his webbed fingers palming at her back in soothing circles. Kagome giggled, when Kaldur smoothly herded her to behind the large cliff, to conceal themselves from any nosy eyes.

She was jealous of how easily her Altantean boyfriend cut through water like it was nothing—but then again he was born in it. It shouldn't be a surprise that Kaldur was all but graceful in it.

Kagome certainly wasn't. Sure, she can swim pretty good, but at the end of the day nothing can beat an Alantean's grace. All the more attractive in her eyes, she decided.

And then she squealed again when she felt his hands cupping her derrieres, "Kaldur!" Kagome laughed, brushing a kiss against his sensitive gills, "Not here! You keep this up and we wouldn't hear end of it from Conner!"

"It's not everyday to see you in the water," he bit back a groan at the stimulation on his neck. Kagome knew how to keep her touches on his gills light and also how to tease just right, so her lips felt simply divine. But he couldn't let it to continue—he didn't dare to reach to the point of no return in this sort of setting. Pulling away from her tender touches Kaldur maneuvered his way to place his mouth firmly upon these lips, "And, maybe next time he can join us, but for now I have you all to myself."

It was rare that he even had her to himself at all in these recent months, given his duties to his King. Kaldur loved his boyfriend, he truly did, but he'd admit only to himself that he was jealous that Conner had Kagome more often than he had her. It was a conversation to have for later, but for now, Kaldur wanted to be selfish for a change.

And he knew Conner wouldn't fault him for it—pouting or no.

Kagome curled her arms around his neck, sighing under his kiss, "Kaldur, you flirt." She repeated, giggling. Tightening her hold on him Kagome returned as much ferocity as she could offer and there were no more words to be said.

They were sinking, Kaldur realized, and felt her weight pulling him down into the sun-warmed ocean. Curiosity drove him to break them apart, though he still left very little space in between them. Quirking a brow, he thumbed across her skin underwater and hummed, "What are you doing, girl?"

Somewhat abashed at being caught, Kagome flustered and giggled, high off from his affection, "Ever kiss underwater?"

"Oh?" Kaldur couldn't resist growing a grin, when he found he liked the idea, "Can't say I ever did. Have you?"

Kagome pulled him closer to the water, "Nope~first time for everything!" She couldn't seem to stop giggling, like a school girl she once was.

Kaldur willingly went, grabbing her into another open-mouthed kiss, and with a splash, disappeared under the great blue with Kagome. His little Nightingale. The surface was calm again.
