Awake

First chapterof 2012~

This is pretty sappy and nonsensical- sorry about that. Please point any mistakes, I didn't have the chance to proofread this too well.

One morning, when the team was just starting out, he woke her up. It was around eleven in the morning, about two hours later than the time she normally woke up, and Robin sent him to check up on her. He normally wouldn't have wanted to be within 50 feet of that room, but he manned up (suck in air and held it to show off his "manly" chest") and walked over there and knocked on her door, then banged, then called her name, then he changed into a rooster to crow outside her door until she "accidently" slammed the door into him ("How do you slam a SLIDING door into someone by accident?" he argued). Turned out she was sick and wanted to sleep it off for a bit. To make amends, he made tea for her for the first time, and she accepted it. A reluctant friendship formed more out of necessity than anything.

Two years after that, he went to wake her up when all the Titans got up early to go to the beach. He figured it alright at this point in their friendship to knock, then enter the room on his own in the form of a tiny bug. Fortunately, she was already awake and ready and stepping out of the room, and on him before she heard the tiny shrieking of a green pest on her floor. They ended up not going to the beach, and she healed his arm and cooked him dinner that day in apology. She felt she always caused him more pain than necessary, even unintentionally, and she told him this outside his door at around twelve in the morning. It was a weird moment for both of them, but he opened the door the tiniest bit and told her it was no more, though he wasn't sure if he was fully conscious at that moment.

The morning after that, he woke up and when the other Titans were distracted by Cyborg's latest update, she did her best to not shove a plate if tofu eggs in his hands, but present them instead. They weren't very good, and he bit his tounge from telling her so. A friendship formed from mutual respect and gratefulness.

A year and a half after that, he woke her up again- she had actually been awake for a while now, but she kept her eyes shut and pretended to sleep while he perched outside her window as a tiny green songbird. It was a nice song. The kid was tone-deaf, but really, he was a bit musically inclined. He finished after about ten minutes when he saw her shift slightly and fluttered away. She got up and changed and walked to the common room to the smiling faces of her teammates, and when she said good morning to him, she couldn't help but smile just the tiniest bit.

They weren't sure if they could still call this a friendship, but they wouldn't worry about that for now.
