Megan sighed. She was actually sitting on the sofa in their kitchen-living room. On her right was Beast Boy playing cars on PS4 together with Blue. They were blinded by the game so much that they didn't bother to notice M'gann's thinking look on her face and glances at Superboy in the kitchen side or at Nightwing when he came inside.
- I need to walk Wolf... see ya'...
„So obvious," Miss Martian thought. But then she saw that Dick was kind of relieved. "Did something happen between them those few days ago? The night they were all alone..." Megan jerked her head. "The night... Did... Did Connor do something to Nightwing?" The green girl looked secretly at their captain while still thinking about how to answer herself. She'll need to ask him later when they'll be alone...
The occasion to talk came sooner than she expected. Everyone was out on a mission, and unexpectedly Nightwing stayed in the base. So did Miss Martian. She just went back from visiting her uncle in Hall of Justice. When she teleported to the base she saw Dick's working posture in front of the big screen from where she heard Superboy's voice as he reported the state of the mission. Richard blushed unexpectedly and touched his chest as if it started to hurt. M'gann's eyes frowned. She knew something was odd!
- So he really couldn't stop himself any longer?! It must've been a shock... - she said a bit coldly while keeping a distance so she wouldn't be seen on the screen where the voice was already muted.
Nightwing looked a bit startled while he looked at her. "Like a child that was captured on doing something that's not allowed," the martian girl thought. She sighed while putting hands on her waist.
- Don't look at me like that... I'm just trying to sympathize with you a bit 'coz it was a great shock for me when he left me 'coz of that... So for you, it must've been the same kind of shock. Because you guys kind of try not to bump into each other and run away when there's only an occasion - she said with understanding voice.
Dick seemed to not know what she was talking about but he got interested. And so he decided to play along.
- Y... yea... But now I know we feel the same way about this Meg... so... tell me your situation and I'll tell you mine... - he said. It wasn't true but he knew that probably M'gann's part will be more interesting than his "story".
Miss Martian was thinking silently for a few seconds but in the end, she got caught in Nightwing's strategy.
- Well... it's nothing big compared to what happened with you but... I was his girlfriend and I thought that he loved me, but then one night I asked why won't he... - she blushed here – why won't he hold me if he loves me. And then he looked at me surprised, and said: "you're not the one I want to hold in my arms". It was like a pinch when few minutes after this he said that we should break up so he won't hurt me anymore... He said that he thought that maybe if he'll be with me he'll forget about you, Dick... but it seems I wasn't good enough to steal his eyes and heart from you - she sighed coz her voice was shaking. She didn't stop looking at her left side.
Then she heard... well... a weird silence. Megan looked at Nightwing. He was sitting on the ground with a big shock on his face that made her blush.
- What?! Why are you looking at me as if you didn't... - she stopped and her eyes got bigger.
- You didn't know did you...? – it wasn't actually a question. She knew that she said something that was still Superboy's secret until a few minutes ago because of Dick's behavior.
So he didn't do anything? She was the one who just messed up with their friendship. She felt bad about that. She even thought about erasing this from his memory. But she didn't want to make a vegetable out of him, so she didn't do that.
- What... What do you exactly mean? – Dick whispered silently with a fastened breath.
- Oh Dick I'm so sorry! Forget it! I just thought that he... something... to you... - she didn't know what to say.
- I... I was running away 'coz of the way I feel when he's nearby, and I think he felt kind of annoyed coz of that and didn't know what to do seeing as he too was always running away in such situation... - Nightwing's voice was quiet and his face looked absentminded.
Miss Martian looked at him with concern and then his voice came to her like a lightning.
- The way you feel? – she asked.
Richard jerked a little when he heard this question. He got up and while flushing a bit looked to his right side. He had put his left hand on his right arm, trying to add some comfort and bravery to himself.
- Whenever he's close, my heart starts to beat faster... and sometimes it hurts a bit. The longer I'm with him the more painful it gets... I don't get it at all... - he said all red on his face, even with his mask on.
"Just like a little kid" M'gann thought while looking at him - so shy and quiet.
- You know right...? – She said gently, and he jerked a little while he raised his head and looked her in the face. Megan was smiling as kind as she could. – That's how you feel when you're in love you dumbass...
