Beastboy Aqualad...

Ah. The bane of my existence. Slash fanfiction. I'm givin' up on the prose cause I have RUN OUT. Be happy, person-who-said-it-wasn't-that-great.

Okay, I admit it, the Aqualad kissing thing was not entirely original. Phoenix Skyborne already did it. She also wrote several really good fics, like Changes and Changes: Nine Months More. Honestly, it's great.

Roll it!

Jump City Harbor...

"It is a glorious day to be on the beach, do you not agree, friend Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Sure is Star," Robin replied, floating around on an air-pumped chair in the crystal sea.

"It's a perfect day to race," Aqualad said, smirking.

"You're on, fish boy!" Beastboy challenged, having changed into a baracuda.

"Yeah, let's race. Two laps around Titan Island. Robin's chair is the marker," Aqualad said.

"1. 2. 3. GO!" Robin shouted, waving his birdarang down like a flag.

Aqualad and Beastboy (in the form of a barracuda) shot off undewater like torpedoes. They weaved through various coral formations and rock tunnels, neither really getting ahead.

"Hey. Don't slow up for me!" Aqualad taunted mentally.

"Okay then, check THIS OUT!" Beastboy retorted.

He then transformed into a Mako Shark and shot through the water even faster, getting way ahead of Aqualad. He looked behind him and stuck his tongue out.

"Nya nya nah nya- OW!" Beastboy said on the mental link.

Aqualad, curious and worried, created a mini-cyclone to speed himself up for a quick burst to find Beastboy. He gasped as he saw Beastboy floatind down, blood flowing. He had swam right into a sharp rock and it knocked him for a loop.

Aqualad shot down and grabbed him. He then looked around to see he and Beastboy had gone several dozen feet below water. He knew he wouldn't be able to get Beastboy to the surface in time, he was near unconscious and had lost a lot of air. So, he did the only thing he could do.

He kissed him.

Now, Captain Brokeback, back up, it wasn't a technical kiss. He was giving him air so he wouldn't drown. Beastboy was only faintly aware of what was going on. Aqualad began slowly swimming up to the surface, still sucking in air through the hard-to-see gills on his neck and pushing air into Beastboy's lungs.

A few feet under water, Beastboy cleared his head, and realised what was going on. Typically, one would go with a knee-jerk reaction and push away if you hadn't noticed that you were being "kissed". However, Beastboy, in his foggy state, was still able to process the fact he was being "kissed", who was doing the "kissing", and why. So, even though he could've pushed away and turn into an aquatic creature of some sort, he didn't.

Beastboy had always thought himself as a straight, ladies man. He had saved up money to buy a moped for the sole purpose of wooing various girls he found. But now, he was in some aquatic, wacko version of Brokeback Mountain, only less graphic or something, and he was enjoying it (I haven't seen BM, so neither has Beastboy. The author has spoken!).

Aqualad and he came up and seperated, immediately gasping for air.

"Hey, wait, if you're conscious enough to swim on your own, why didn't you earlier?" Aqualad asked.

"In truth... I kinda enjoyed it," Beastboy replied, a slight smile on his face.

"Same here," Aqualad replied, smiling back.

"YOU STILL CAN'T CATCH ME!" Beastboy shouted suddenly, turning into a Mako again and shooting off for the finish line.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Aqualad shouted back, firing off for Beastboy and the finish line himself.

(Insert random prose involving homosexuality and aquatic stuff here.)
