Ahh, some more slash. :3 A long one, too.
This is supposed to take place some time shortly after "Go". I had to do some research for the tools in this chapter. Ha. Your guess is as good as mine as to what they are building. I hope it's sort of obvious that they're working on their house on the island though.

Robin grunted and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. It was a hot day and despite being surrounded by water, he was sweating. He'd already managed to shed his gloves and cape, hoping that would be enough to cool him down and let him get on with his work.
"Beast Boy, could you give me a hand?"
Beast Boy was lazing around, trying to enjoy the summer weather. He'd been doing his best to appear uninterested, but watching Robin work made his stomach hurt. Robin was confident, strong and brave, something he was not. He grumbled.
"But sir, I don't know what you want me to do," he pleaded.
"Have you ever built anything before Beast Boy?" Robin asked, struggling to ignore the "sirs".
"No Robin, sir," he grinned and uneven teeth protruded from between thin green lips.
Robin hummed, expressionless. "You can hand me the tools I need then."
Having never built anything before, Beast Boy had no idea which of the tools was what. He'd learned a lot from his family, but how to survive on his own was not one of them. He nodded regardless, hopeful to impress.
Robin sighed and turned back to the blueprint surrounding by mess. He found the red toolbox and handed it to Beast Boy. The younger boy took it.
"Hand me the pull saw."
Beast Boy assumed it was the small hand saw and guessed correctly. He was careful to avoid touching Robin. He watched over the Brunette's shoulder as he carefully made sure to saw the wood flawlessly. He was fascinated by Robin's attention to detail, something he'd never fussed over himself.
"Do you mind?" Robin grunted.
"Sorry sir," he said, backing up.
"Why don't you take a break? Go find Starfire; you two can roam the beach."
He removed his gloves and shoes, stretching like a cat. He dipped his toes into the water, but jumped out immediately. It was surprisingly cold for such a hot day. Starfire giggled, something he welcomed to draw his attention away from Robin. He got on her good side very easily.
"Uhm, Star?" He gulped, taking a leap. "What was it like… kissing Robin?"
She looked at the waves. "Nothing."
"Ohh. Well, on Earth, kissing is usually regarded as something special," he mumbled.
"Ahh, yes, I have noticed that since I've been here."
"Then what does it mean to you now?" He was on his toes.
"Nothing still. I don't think he felt anything 'special', if that is what you mean. We are only friends. Like me and you."
Beast Boy smiled faintly at the ocean.
"Yeah, like me and you."
