Snippets
Self-explanatory, I think. The first three are related in theme, but I consider them stand-alone.
There's a tiny bit of Speedy/Aqualad too, just because I like them :3
Thank you to everyone who has added this story to their favorites, by the way. I'm happy to know you all like it :)

Illiterate
"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?"
She did not take her eyes off her book, but she stopped reading and sighed inwardly. She would have to deal with this issue first.
"It is the EAST!"
She switched the book to her right hand, her throwing hand.
"And RAVEN is the moon!"
"Be quiet!"
"OW- next time, don't make me read your stupid books then!"
"I know you didn't even read it, that wasn't even the right line!"
Semi-literate
He wasn't going to do it. Nope, no way, no how.
He's tried explaining to Robin multiple times the controlled chaos of his room- just because Robin can't find anything, doesn't mean he has that problem! And it's his room, why should it matter if Robin needed to find something? But now he's got Cyborg and Starfire in on it, and now he's hiding in the laundry room.
The door opens and he spins around, ready to defend himself, but it turns out to only be Raven.
"Raven! Aw man, am I happy to see-", he's cut off when she wordlessly hand him the vacuum.
"GASP! Et tu, Raven?" he says, wide and teary-eyed.
"…Wow, you actually know Julius Caesar. I'm impressed."
He huffed, "I at least know the classics!"
Literate
He showed her his secret chest under his bed, filled with all the books he had read over the years. It was a collection that almost rivaled hers, and even if they were all worn out and crammed into a too small chest, they still had that distinct smell books had, and it was incredibly impressive and almost beautiful and amazing and oh Azar, why was she blushing?
He simply grinned smugly at her.
"Yeah, I know. Chicks dig smart guys."
Touché
The four of them sat in the Titans East common room.
"So…." The changeling began to say, after having walked in on the Atlantean and the archer together. "When are you guys gonna tell your team about you two?"
The two glared at him for a moment. "When are you guys gonna tell your team about you two?"
He glanced down at his hand clasped with the empath next to him.
"Good point." He mumbled.
Ears
They had been going out for about a month, and while they were sitting next to each other on the couch in the common room one afternoon, it occurred to her that she could do it. She had fought the urge to do it in past, when they were still kids yelling and hitting one another and she had her image to keep up and all, but since that wasn't as much of an issue between them anymore; she realized she could do it.
She reached out wordlessly and brushed her finger against his ear, and he flinched and slapped her hand away.
After she released him from the death grip of her dark magic, she apologized for surprising him and grinned sheepishly in response and mumbled something about animal instincts.
