Mei is back and still writing slash! I'm taking a bit of a break from my Jinx fic, which is currently working through season two. I felt a post season five situation would be the most fun way to begin my journey into the wonderful world of the shounen ai author. I look to the example of the LOVELY Clamp artists and the mangaka of such series as Gravitation.

"Señor Robin! Emergencia!"

It seemed there was never a quiet day in Titans tower. You would think with the Brotherhood of Evil gone, there would finally be some rest. Instead, Mas and Menos came racing in on what had been a good lunch. The twins looked panicked beyond anything Robin had seen. Jumping to his feet, food forgotten, he started interrogating them. "What? What happened? Whats the energency?"

"Señor Speedy!"

"Y Señor Aqualad!"

Cyborg groaned. In the short time he'd spent with Titans East, those two had fought like cats and dogs. It somehow seemed expected that they'd be trying to kill each other. He should have planned for this, really, in case Bumblebee got in over her head. "Aw jeez, what have those two done to each other this time? Do we need to get Raven over there to patch them up?"

Mas shook his head, eyes wide. "No, eran..."

"llevar a cabo las manos" Menos whispered, giving a little shudder.

Raven raised an eyebrow. "What did they say?"

Cyborg took a moment to translate, blinked, retranslated to make sure he had heard right, and...

THUNK.

Beast Boy had to get a jack so as to pick Cyborg's jaw off the floor. "What, what is it buddy? What did they do to each other?" Beast Boy had a slight, ok, more than slight, desire to see those two after a fight against each other. It would just be so priceless, actually, the fight itself would have been better, he could sell tickets!

"They...I don't believe this... they were..." Cy's human eye glazed over, and his body began to sway.

Robin arched a masked eyebrow and looked questioningly to Raven, who shrugged. Starfire meanwhile, was using a sort of sign language to communicate with the twins, knowing limited Spanish that was enough to understand some of it.

A few minutes later, a squeal that could shatter glass erupted. "How wonderful! Speedy and Aqualad have overcome their differences and engaged in the holding of hands!"

It took a moment for everyone to digest that. Stunned stares all around the room, when Cyborg nodded to confirm Starfire's translation was correct, Raven sweat-dropped and took a seat on the couch. First to regain his voice, Beast Boy was almost hysterical.

"DUUUUUDE! You mean they're, those two, I mean, they're G-"

A tendril of dark energy clasped around his mouth before he could finish his line. Starfire was confused, why is it such a shocking thing they were getting along? Yes, they did fight often, but it wasn't a harsh fighting, much like that Raven and Beast Boy engaged in when Raven was not truly angry.

Robin, on the other hand was looking murderous, and terrified. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh SHIT! When this gets back to Green Arrow he'll have my head on a platter. Or worse, he'll send me back to Gotham like a scolded child. I was supposed to make sure Speedy didn't get into anymore 'situations', that was the main reason I put him on that team, because it was supposed to keep him out of trouble like this."

Cyborg was babbling incoherently, Mas and Menos running in circles, Beast Boy making muffled protests, and Starfire was questioning Robin as to what was so bad.

Raven had had enough. "QUIET!"

Silence reigned. Mas and Menos ran back, not wanting to see angry Raven. Taking a deep breath, she continued. "If, as Mas and Menos said, Speedy and Aqualad have entered into a relationship, then there is nothing we can do, and nothing we have any right to do, to stop it." Robin opened his mouth to exclaim his terror, but she didn't let him. "If they are so inclined as to seek each others company in that way, they deserve respect. And don't give me that 'no team relationships' bull, because there is no reason for it. While we are on that subject." She stood, grabbing the boy wonder by the collar, and shoved him towards Starfire.

"What are you doing, hey stop it, put me down! What is this about?"

Cyborg grinned, this had been coming for a long time now. Raven sure knew how to make the best out of a, confusing, situation. But Robin was still clueless as to what was happening, blissfully ignorant.

"She wants you to just tell Star you love her already!"

Starfire gasped, what was happening here? "Robin," She asked, eyes hopeful but also slightly frightened. "Is this true? If you do care for me as such, why have you not told me so before?"

Raven had let go of the screaming Beast Boy, who actually knew why. "Star, you guys are both so, for crying out loud, he was afraid that if he told you, you might not return the feeling. Not to mention, he's about as afraid of his emotions as Raven is." Raven backhanded the changeling, but gave a nod to confirm what he had said as more or less the truth.

"Star, he loves you, but he's too much of a pussy to tell you." Cy joked, giving her a push. "You have to make the first move."

"Will you stop talking about me like I'm NOT EVEN HERE?" Robin shouted, flailing against the wall Raven had pinned him to with her powers. "I am perfectly capable of telling Starfire that she's the most important thing in my life, and I would appreciate it if you let me do it in my own damned time!" A beat, heads turning, "Oh crap..." Raven dropped her leader with shock, raising a hand to cover her smile. Beast Boy pumped his arm in the air, shouting at Cyborg that it was time to 'pay up.' Star simply blinked, confused.

"What has this to do with friends Speedy and Aqualad holding hands, that is how we came to this conversation, yes?"

Robin blushed crimson and righted himself, moving over to take the alien's hand in his own. Pulling her down, he explained that what was hinted at was that the two boys had entered a romantic relationship. Starfire nodded, unsurprised, what was all the fuss about? "On my planet, such relationships are quite common between warriors who fight together. It is not as though all persons must breed, and whom they take as life partner is not limited by who they could take as childbearing partners."

The team sat stunned, she understood it completely, and wasn't phased in the least. Beast Boy now felt ashamed of the jokes he had been prepared to start, and the fact he wasn't nearly as accepting as Starfire. Raven gave a short nod, and looked to Robin, who was still wondering if he was going to be castrated by various League members when this got out. "Green Arrow isn't going to take this easily, and I have to tell him, it's my obligation..."

"Aren't we jumping the gun here?" Cyborg interrupted. "We don't even know if they really are... dating" God, that felt so weird when he knew he was talking about those two.

Robin nodded, gulped and tapped in the code to call Titans East.

Meanwhile in Steel City.

"We are so screwed!" Aqualad moaned into a pillow, sprawled, fully clothed mind you, on the archer's bed.

"We are not, we just have to find a way to spin this that he can't find anything wrong with it." Speedy was pacing back and forth, hands behind his back. "Well, what are his so called reasons going to be..."

"We're teammates" Aqualad started, not seeing the real problem with that.

"We're guys..." Speedy sighed, still trying to get used to this idea. This was so weird, it was like they had been caught stealing cookies or something. No, more like buying peanut butter cookies, in a house where no-one else liked them.

"If that's his problem I suggest he come into this century." Speedy nodded his agreement.

"Why don't we just tell him we're on our own team, and we don't take orders from him! Bee is alright with it, so if he isn't thats too bad."

"Roy."

"I mean, what right does he have to say who we can and can't date!"

"Roy."

"Its just his god complex, he wants to control everything"

"Roy" Aqualad had caught him by the hand and pulled him down beside him on the bed. Relaxing, the redhead sighed and leaned against his shoulder.

"I just don't want this to become, ah God this sucks. I feel so pathetic..."

Aqualad was now in no mood for sulking, and wrapped his arms around Speedy, pulling them into a tight embrace. "You're not pathetic." He murmured into the archers ear "You're an idiot and have an ego the size of Montana, but you are not pathetic."

Speedy smiled and took the Atlantean's face in his hands, that was exactly what he had needed to hear. But he knew that bird boy could call at any minute, so there really wasn't time for a long, sentimental, moment. He leaned in for a kiss, stroking a hand through that dark hair, this time, he wasn't alone in the actions. The redhead fought back a moan as the other boy caught his lip between his teeth, the slight jolt of pain only serving to enhance the situation. Pulling apart not ten seconds later, the shameful blushes a matched set, they nodded in unspoken agreement, slowly, it wouldn't do to rush into this only to find it no more than hormones. "Lets go face mister grumpy then. He should be calling soon."

Well now, its official, I'm working on two multichaptered fics at once. I thought I'd never do that, since it makes updates between the two have to alternate, so each individual fic will update much slower. I will try to get a chapter out every week, two weeks at latest, but which fic it will be will depend on which one has ideas flowing.
