6- The fear of wasting youth
"That's stupid" Artemis broke the silence. "You can't tell us if we have a boyfriend or not. This is for us to decide! I'll have a boyfriend if I want to."
"If any of you starts dating, I'll tell Batman."
"Yeah, we'll all be single forever."
Thus started the crappiest week in Dick Grayson's life.
On Monday they chased some guys who had escaped prison and wanted to steal a back using animals as weapons. No only was it stupid, but it was also very unoriginal.
It took the Young Justice team more time to return the animals to their zoos than to actually catch the thieves.
During the whole mission, Robin tried to approached Kid Flash. They needed to talk. But the redhead wouldn't even look at him in the eye.
On Monday night, Dick couldn't take it anymore. So he went to Wally's room. At approximately 3:30 in the morning. But if he knew Wally, and he did, he was still awake.
He wasn't wrong. Wally was laying on bed with his headphones on. According to the movement of his head, he was either having a stroke or listening to heavy metal.
"Hey, KF" he said to his boyfriend. But he didn't even turn his head. "What, are you ignoring me now?"
But then Dick realized that Wally was listening to heavy metal.
He didn't even noticed when he came into the room. So Robin quietly walked towards the bed and touched the other ten's shoulder.
The next thing he knew is that he was lying in the floor with Wally's hand around his neck.
"Oh my god, sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"You are paranoid enough to attack anyone who touches your shoulder? Batman would be proud."
The guys sat on the bed. Wally kissed Dick for a second, and then they hugged.
"So, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
"You've been avoiding me all day. I'm really angry at you."
"You know, that would sound way more convincing if your arms weren't pressed so tight in my back.
"Don't change the topic, Walls." Dick looked at him in the eye, he did look hurt.
"Well, I'm sorry, but with Kaldur's new psychotic rule and everything."
"I don't think that it's psychotic, he just really cares for us and…" said Dick.
"Wait, you're not suggesting that we follow that rule, are you? No, I'm sure that you haven't come here to… break up with me?" The affirmative sentence slowly turned into a question as Wally glanced at his boyfriend, panicking.
"No, no, of course not… But it's still a rule. If he finds out, he's gonna tell Batman. That means he is going to murder me. And you. And probably resurrect us both just to kill us again."
"So, you're saying that we can't be together but we can't break up either. You know that we're not Schrödinger's cat, we can't do both."
Dick thought: "I can't break up with a guy that just made a science joke."
Wally thought: "Shit, that was lame, no wonder he's gonna break up with you."
"Walls, I'm fifteen. You're sixteen. I think this team will last for years. We're not gonna be dating anyone until we're adults? That doesn't make sense. We can't waste youth like that.
"So you're saying that we shouldn't break up."
"I'm saying that we should keep dating secretly. We should even tell M'gann that we broke up."
"So she's goin with her Martian name again? Can't she fucking make up her mind?!"
"Haha… But let's not be sad. I hate those stupid gay friend things she does."
Wally agreed.
Dating secretly. Suddenly, the idea sounded hotter.
They started to make out. Two minutes later Dick's hand was starting to touch the skin under Wally's shirt, and Wally drop what he had in his hand to touch is boyfriend back and…
Wait, what did he have in his hand. Oh, that's right. The iPod. Which fell to the floor, and the headphones disconnected.
"How bad can a bad boy be
If he sets you free"[1]
Until Wally could plug the headphones back, Twisted Sister sounded all over the place.
"You know, we've probably woke up Batman in Gotham."
"Yeah, I like to listen to music loud…"
"I should go."
"See ya tomorrow."
Tuesday arrived.
And it sucked.
They woke up at 5 in the morning. Dick liked waking up early, he thought that sleeping late was wasting time. But 5 in the morning is way too early fro someone that at 3:30 was making out with his boyfriend.
Red Tornado sent them to a factory, were some murderers were supposed to be hiding. Thy searched the place for 2 hours, just to find out that they had escaped. They chased them for another long hour, and when they finally cauht them, Dick got shot twice, one bullet in each shoulder.
He was cured in the HQ, of course. But it hurt. Like hell. And the worst part was that Wally couldn't hug him and told him that everything would be all right. Not that that was Dick anted. Not at all. And even without the prohibition, he wouldn't do so.
But still it sucked that even if they wanted to openly date, they couldn't.
At the afternoon, they told M'gann (she had decided to go back to using her Earth name after her break up with Conner) that they weren't together anymore. She cried a lot, and when she started to talk about her own breakup with Superboy, she cried even more.
They all went to sleep. Dick stayed in the kitchen, making coffee. He could never sleep before 11 pm.
He felt hands in his waist. He knew it was Wally, so he turned his head to kiss him.
"You see? You walked on my in silence and I didn't try to murder you. That's what boyfriends do."
"Haha, very funny." answered Wally. Then he continued to kiss Robin.
And the kiss got deep. The tongues started to fight each other. Dick was moaning. And loudly. It was the hotter kiss they ever had.
And it became even hotter when the shorter boy's arms held Wally closer to him. So close that every part of their bodies was touching.
Every part.
Wally broke the kiss before he got too hard for his pants to handle. (Wally laughed to himself at the "handle" pun).
"Wow, wait a second… Let me breathe, ok?"
"Sorry." answered Dick. "But it seemed that you liked it." He smiled "I mean, you wouldn't stop moaning."
"I wasn't moaning, you were!" almost shouted Wally "And why were you so… touchy? We haven't… We've only been together for a couple weeks and…"
"It just seemed right."
And Then Wally understood.
"This is about the whole prohibition thing, isn't it? You're afraid that we'll fall apart so you want to keep this relationship together… with cold gin[2]!"
"There's never been a better time for doing a Kiss pun." said Robin as he chuckled.
"Don't you change the topic!"
Dick made a pause.
"Yes. I thought it would bring us together. It was a stupid idea."
"A fucking stupid idea. Never do that again."
"I won't".
Wednesday was any better. Neither was Thursday nor Friday. In fact, they were pretty much the same as Tuesday. But with less making out. In fact, with almost no making out. After Robin's cold gin incident, they had barely touched each other.
Friday sucked in a different way. In a horrible, disgusting different way.
It has started well. They were kissing in Dick's bed. But then, the sucking came. Wally stood up, leaving Dick alone in the bed.
"I can't do this shit anymore" he said.
