A/N: Hai! I said I was going to try to update daily. So here's your daily chapter. I have so many ideas for this story so I will have to write a lot lol. So here's your next chapter! Enjoy!
Beastboy fell asleep that night thinking of Robin. His so called 'leader'. No. A leader loves his team- the whole team. A leader always puts his team's lives ahead of his- not smile when a member lost his powers. A leader is supposed to keep his team together- not sit there quietly when a member tries to leave. A leader is supposed to be there for you. Robin was anything but a leader.
Beastboy got up from where he slumbered. He didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't stop himself. The green boy opened his door and started to walk down the hall. As Beastboy rounded a corner, he bumped into a cheerful alien. "Oh! Friend Beastboy! We have not seen you in the days!" His always happy extraterrestrial friend said. "Hey Star. I... um had to use the bathroom..." Beastboy lied to his friend. "But Friend Beastboy, the room of the baths is the other way." Starfire pointed out, confused.
"Um... right." Beastboy quickly said before running down the hall, leaving a very confused alien floating there. He ran and ran until he came across a certain leader's door. He stopped and slowly approached the door. He heard some mumbling, but due to his acute hearing he could make out words. "Why does he hate me?" Robin asked himself within his room. "I've tried to apologize, but he didn't give me the chance." Robin said aloud as he paced his room.
Beastboy heard Robin flop down on his bed. "I'm even ready to admit that I'm jealous." Robin said sighing. Beastboy took a step back in surprise. Robin... THE Robin was jealous of him. A young, immature, powerless goof. Beastboy heard more mumbling and tuned back in. "I'm such an idiot." Robin admitted. "Yes you are." Beastboy thought to himself.
Beastboy decided to retire back to his room. "I want to leave." Beastboy thought while lying in bed. "I can't help the team at all." The green boy thought sadly to himself. "But of course. My other teammates wouldn't let me leave." He thought while turning over to his side. "Except Robin." Beastboy thought all of a sudden tasting venom in his mouth. "Seems like he wanted me to leave when I tried. And now that he's jealous of me, he probably wants me to leave even more." He dwelled on this thought and fell asleep.
~Crow~
Robin awoke to his radio blaring. The man yelling stuff about weather and non-interesting stuff. Until he heard something about his team. "So our heroes have lost a teammate! Wow! I wonder how they feel now." The announcer yelled through the mic. "We haven't lost anyone." Robin thought through an angry expression.
"What will they do next? Will they split up and go their separate ways? Will they recruit new heroes? Or will they remain a 4-man team?" The announcer said, making assumptions. "We are not a 4-man team!" Robin thought, getting angry. "Wait, what did he say?" Robin thought while going through what he just heard in his head. "Recruit new heroes! That's an amazing idea!" Robin thought immediately getting up and going through his morning routine, excited to tell him team the news.
When he made it to the common room, he was surprised to see everyone there. "Hey guys. I have awesome news!" Robin said going to stand in front of everyone on the couch. When Robin turned to his team, he made slight eye contact with Beastboy, who immediately turned away. "Ooo! Let us partake in the hearing of the news that is good!" Starfire said, getting excited.
"Yeah let's hear it." Raven said, never looking up from her book. "Let's just hope that it's about apologies." Cyborg said, sitting next to Beastboy. Robin had a guilty look on and immediately looked at Beastboy, who had his eyes on the ground.
"Oh... Um… Well I've decided to recruit a new member." Robin said with a nervous laugh. He got a surprised look from everyone on the team. "You what?" Raven said finally closing her book, with an actual emotion on her face. "Well yeah… Since we've greatly lost a member..." Robin thought over his words. "Well no. We haven't lost a member. He's still here. He was a great help to the team in battle and we will need that back." Robin said, correcting his mistake.
"Beastboy is an awesome member to our team and an awesome friend. I want to say that I'm sorry for all my yelling and disrespect towards him. You see, I saw Beastboy grow into an exceptional fighter and he got so strong. He was even a match for me while we were sparring. I guess I got jealous of him because of his super powers and how strong he was. So when he lost them, my only explanation was to make him feel bad." Robin said, obviously disappointed in himself.
"So I don't want Beastboy to feel that he needs to leave. I also think that we should recruit a new member to make up in the battle field." Robin said to his team. He turned towards Beastboy, "I'm sorry, BB, I never meant for you to hate me" Robin said, looking at his green friend. Beastboy got up and slowly walked towards Robin, who put on a sly smile.
Beastboy smiled back, which made Robin smile more. Then Beastboy's smile turned into a frown. "I don't need your pity party. If you want to kick me off the team because I have no powers, then fine! But do not try to act fake and come up with an excuse to make me stay!" Beastboy yelled with a hurt expression on his face.
"No Beastboy, that's not it!" Robin said, trying to explain. "Just stop, Robin." Beastboy said turning to run. Robin quickly grabbed his wrist and turned him around. Robin, without thinking wrapped his arm around Beastboy's waist and pulled him into an embrace. While it was going on, Robin didn't know what to think. He was kissing his teammate, who was a guy. But Robin liked it so much; he didn't want it to end.
Finally, Beastboy pried Robin off of him and ran to his room. Robin looked towards his team who had very surprised looks on their faces, except Raven. "So um… I'm going to go..." Cyborg said, getting up and running out of the common room. "You have kissed Friend Beastboy." Starfire said, confused. "Why did you do that?". "I um... I…" Robin stuttered. Starfire slowly backed up, confused and scarred of Robin.
"I'm not surprised." Robin heard a mono-tone voice say. "W-what?" Robin asked Raven. "I'm an empath. I felt your hatred towards Beastboy turn into envy and then turn into something else." Raven said, not quite sure what that 'something else' is. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." Robin said facing towards Raven. Raven put the book she recently picked up down and gave Robin a look like 'you're really gonna try to lie to me?'.
Robin brushed it off and went after Beastboy to his room. "Why did I kiss him?!" Robin thought on his way to Beastboy's room. "What's wrong with me?" Robin stopped walking to continue thinking. "Maybe I was just so excited about a new member that I slipped up." Robin thought, trying to make excuses. "I'm not- I'm not gay… right?" Robin thought. "No—No of course not!" Robin continued walking and finally made it to Beastboy's room.
Robin knocked once. "What?" Beastboy yelled. "Hey um, I know I'm probably the last person you'd want to speak to, but um… It's Robin" The boy wonder said awkwardly. "What? Did you come here to finish and rape me?" Beastboy asked rudely. Robin had a huge blush on his face and tried to explain.
"No, No about that… I was excited to tell you guys the news, and when you tried to run away… It was just instinct… I'm sorry." Robin said, explaining his lie. "Yeah… right." Was all Robin got back from Beastboy. Robin quickly went back to his room and flopped on the bed.
The next 6 months will be super awkward.
Beastboy awoke early this morning. He got up and headed towards boy's shower room. It wasn't fair that Robin gets a bathroom and a shower to himself. When Beastboy was finished, he walked into the common room to see his friends. "Hey! Beastboy! Want some eggs and bacon?" Cyborg joked from the stove, knowing that Beastboy is vegan.
"Ha ha. Real funny." Beastboy said in a sarcastic voice. He walked over to the couch where Raven was floating by and Starfire sat. He turned on the t.v. to his favorite cartoons. Cyborg quickly finished up his breakfast and joined Beastboy. Suddenly the door whooshed open to expose a very excited Robin.
"Uh-oh." Beastboy thought. "Hey guys! I have awesome news!" Robin said as he walked in front of everyone. "Ooo let us partake in the hearing of the news that is good." Starfire said with her weird English. "Yeah let's hear it." Raven said, looking blankly at her book. "Let's just hope it's about apologies." Cyborg said, nudging Beastboy.
Robin looked towards Beastboy, who had his head on the ground, not wanting to hear Robin's apology. "Oh... Um… Well I've decided to recruit a new member." Robin said with a nervous laugh. Beastboy's head popped right up. "What is going on?" Beastboy thought, looking at Robin.
"You what?" Raven said, putting down her book. "Yeah… well since we've greatly lost a member." Robin said softly. This hurt Beastboy. There was a pause and Robin started up again. "Well no. We haven't lost a member. He's still here. He was a great help to the team in battle and we will need that back." Robin said, correcting his mistake. Beastboy felt a little better.
"Beastboy is an awesome member to our team and an awesome friend. I want to say that I'm sorry for all my yelling and disrespect towards him. You see, I saw Beastboy grow into an exceptional fighter and he got so strong. He was even a match for me while we were sparring. I guess I got jealous of him because of his super powers and how strong he was. So when he lost them, my only explanation was to make him feel bad." Robin said, obviously disappointed in himself.
Beastboy got a little irritated by Robin. Why was he doing this? And in front of everyone? "So I don't want Beastboy to feel that he needs to leave. I also think that we should recruit a new member to make up in the battle field." Robin said to the team. He turned towards Beastboy, "I'm sorry, BB, I never meant for you to hate me" Robin said, looking directly at Beastboy
Beastboy had enough. He got up and slowly walked towards Robin, who had a sly smile on his face. Beastboy decided to smile back to surprise Robin. When Robin saw Beastboy smile, his smile got bigger. Beastboy dropped the act.
"I don't need your pity party. If you want to kick me off the team because I have no powers, then fine! But do not try to act fake and come up with an excuse to make me stay!" Beastboy yelled with a hurt expression on his face.
"No! Beastboy that's not it!" Robin said, trying to explain. "Just stop, Robin." Beastboy said and turned around and ran. As Beastboy started to run, he was stopped by something. Robin grabbed him by the wrist. "Why won't he leave me alone?!" Beastboy thought while being turned around by Robin.
Robin placed his arm around Beastboy's waist and pulled him into a kiss. Beastboy was freaking out. Yeah, he was gay. And yeah this is what he's wanted for the past couple of years, but it was too much. Robin was kissing Beastboy. Finally when Beastboy pried Robin off of him he ran.
Beastboy approached his room and quickly went inside. He jumped on his bed and stared blankly at the sheets. "Did that really just happen?" Beastboy thought. He had gone over that scenario about 1 million times in his head. He should be happy! Right? Robin... ROBIN kissed him! But instead of being happy about it, Beastboy was furious.
"It wasn't real" Beastboy thought to himself. "He must've known that I had a crush on him and tried to make me forgive him." That was Beastboy's only explanation. He heard a slight knock at the door. "What?" Beastboy said, not wanting to talk to anyone. "Hey um, I know I'm probably the last person you'd want to speak to, but um… It's Robin"
Great. Just perfect. "What? Did you come here to finish and rape me?" Beastboy said bitterly. "No, No about that… I was excited to tell you guys the news, and when you tried to run away… It was just instinct… I'm sorry." Robin said, explaining. "Yeah… right." Beastboy said, hoping the whole thing would go away. Beastboy heard Robin leave and finally relaxed.
This next 6 months will be super awkward.
