xoxoxoxoxo
Turnip was yet again, sitting on the couch with M'gann watching her citcom. Ollie and Dinah were both busy with either work or league stuff, so M'gann voulenteered to to take care of Turnip when was on -ahem- couch rest.
"But now Valerie wants revenge and Jake will never see it coming!" M'gann explained, jabbing her hands at the tv.
"Poor Jake..." Turnip said a little distractedly, sitting up a little straighter and looking around. "M'gann, have you seen Robin?" He asked.
"No, I think he's training with Batman." M'gann said.
"Batman only trains with him if he's in trouble." Wally smirked, laying down on the opposite couch with a big bowl of popcorn.
Turnip glared at him. Everyone knew about their little runaway.
Kaldur walked into the rec room, holding a tiny leather pouch.
"Turnip?" He said as he walked over and kneeled beside Turnip.
"Yeah?" Turnip said.
Kaldur handed Turnip the worn little bag. "These are healing stones from Atlantis." He said as Turnip took the pouch. "They should make your healing time less painful." Kaldur said.
"That's really cool, Kaldur." Turnip said. "Thank you."
"You are welcome." Kaldur said and stood up and looked at M'gann. "I will be in the training room, if you need me."
"Okay!" M'gann smiled.
"W-wait!" Turnip said as Kaldur turned to leave. "Have you seen Robin?" He asked.
"I have not, my friend." Kaldur said and left.
Turnip sighed and looked at the pouch of stones. It was light grey with sea green embroidery.
"Why do you want to see Robin?" Wally asked.
"No reason." Turnip said, unconvincingly.
"Hey, do you like Robin?" Wally asked.
"Of course I like him." Turnip said, playing the innocent even though he knew what Wally meant. "He is pleasant to be around."
"Wait, what? No, man." Wally said. "Like-like."
"Like-like what?" Turnip asked.
Wally groaned and sat up. "Seriously dude?" He asked. "M'gann, does Turnip like Robin?" He asked M'gann.
M'gann bit her lip, contemplating telling Wally. Then she nodded.
"Hah!" Wally jumped up, his popcorn flying everywhere. "So called it!" Walled booyah-ed his fist into the air.
Turnip growled and kicked Wally in the shin.
"Gah!" Wally fell over onto the couch. "Bro?"
"ImightbeinjuredbutIcanstilld ropkickyourcantothenextcount ry!" Turnip said quickly.
M'gann giggled. "You said 'can'." She said quietly.
"Relax dude," Wally said. "I wont tell Rob."
Turnip stuck his tongue out at Wally.
Wally made an unmanly sound and left the room.

"Wakey wakey, moonshine." (Ha, moonshine, opposite of sunshine)
Turnip woke up, groaning. He looked around. He was sleeping on the couch and the room was dark except for the oven light. Robin was standing behind he couch, smirking down at Turnip.
"Moonshine?" Turnip asked and tried to sit up.
"Pft, yeah." Robin said and put his arm around Turnip's chest carefully and helped him up.
"Thanks..." Turnip said.
"Yeah..." Robin sighed and hopped over the couch and landed comfortably beside Turnip.
Turnip blushed as Robin pulled him closer for a hug.
"How are the gunshots?" Robin asked.
"They're OK." Turnip said. He put his cheek on Robin's shoulder, his nose brushing Robin's neck.
"I'm sorry I didn't help you." Robin said quietly. "If I was being careful, that wouldn't have happened."
"Robin..." Turnip whispered. "Its not your fault-"
"Then who's fault is it?" Robin asked. "Its not yours."
"It could have been you who had gotten shot." Turnip said.
"It should have been me, Turnip!" Robin said. "I knew better, I shouldn't have left you alone. I promised you that nothing bad would happen."
"I don't care." Turnip said.
"Turnip, you almost died." Robin said. "You lost so much blood."
"So?" Turnip said. "We're both here. That's all I care about. And I'm sorry...I could have gotten you hurt."
Robin sighed. "Don't worry about that, Turnip." Robin said and tightened his grip on Turnip.
"R-Rob." Turnip said when be felt this.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Robin asked.
"No..." Robin was actually very comfortable to lean on. His skin and clothes were cold, probably from being outside, but felt good against Turnip's feverish body. He was search his Robin uniform, so he probably just came from patrol.
"Then stop complaining." Robin said.
"Fine!" Turnip's said and wrapped his arms around Robin's neck.
They stayed like that for a few minutes. They didn't say anything about Robin's kiss a few weeks ago.
Robin pushed Turnip away slightly.
"You okay?" Turnip asked and looked into Robin's masked eyes.
"Yeah." Robin smiled.
Turnip grinned. "Are you contemplating something again?" He asked.
"Maybe." Robin said and put his forehead against Turnip's. "How much longer until you can start training again?"
"Another few weeks." Turnip said.
"Thats good." Robin said.
"Why?"
"Just want to know when you'll be up and moving again." Robin said.
"So you can take me out to patrol again?" Turnip asked sarcastically. "No thanks."
"Aww," Robin said. "You're making me feel bad..." Robin stuck out his lower lip.
"Knock it off..." Turnip's looked away.
"Turnip.
"Shut up."
"Turnip."
"What?" Turnip asked and looked at Robin.
Robin smiled and leaned forward to gently kiss Turnip on the lips. He nibbled Turnip's bottom lip be fore pulling away with his hand on Turnip's cheek, his thumb stroking the skin under his eye.
Turnip's let of a shaky sigh before closing his eyes, which had been open (out of surprise) during the kiss. "Robin?" Turnip asked quietly.
"Yeah?" Robin asked and put his hand completely flat against Turnip's cheek.
Turnip opened his eyes. "You know I'm a boy, right?" He asked.
Robin laughed. "Yeah, I know." He said.
Turnip tilted his head slightly. "Then why did you kiss me?"
"You know I can hear everything you're saying, right?" Conner yelled from down the hall.
"Fuck!" Turnip said.
"But what are you gonna do about?" Robin asked in a slightly raised voice.
"Turn around because I can see you too!" Conner said.
"Please, my friends." Kaldur yelled from his room. "Shut up!"
"Oh my God..." Turnip laughed quietly and got off of Robin.
"Just ignore us, Conner!" Robin laughed as well. They knew Conner could really care less what they did, so they didn't actually care that he was listening in.
"Okay!" Conner shouted and that was that.
Turnip laughed when Robin sighed tiredly.
Robin scooted closer to Turnip and wrapped he arm around his waist.
"Again;" Turnip started. "Why did you kiss me?"
"Because I like you." Robin said.
Oooh shit. "Why do you like me?" Turnip asked.
"Umm," Robin thought for a moment. "Your nice, funny, smart, and...you rather good looking for a guy." Robin laughed when Turnip blushed. "And we have a lot of things in common."
"Like what?"
"We both lost our parents." Robin said. "We were adopted by clueless rich people."
"You were adopted?" Turnip asked. "By who?"
"I can't tell that because of the secret identity thing." Robin said.
"Oh..." Turnip said. "Okay..."
"Turnip?" Robin asked and pulled Turnip's towards him again, clasping his hands together at Turnip's abdomen.
"Yeah?" Turnip asked and leaned his head backwards onto Robin's shoulder.
"I will tell you some time." Robin said. "I know you're someone I can trust."
Turnip smiled. "Okay."
