(I know a lot of you were wanting for Dick to sing a Jesse McCartney song, but I just didn't have enough time. My BFF should be over any minute for my B-day!)
Bruce's eye was twitching violently as Dinah pulled on one of his arms, Barbara pulling on the other. "Come oooon, Daddy!" Barbara cried.
The billionaire Glared at her. "No."
Dinah rolled her eyes. "Come on, Bruce! You'll be great!"
Bruce turned to shoot a glare at her, too. Dinah pursed her lips and leaned into his ear, whispering something. The man's eyes grew wide, and he grunted, "Fine." He walked over to the karaoke machine (courtesy of Bartholomew Allen). Grinning, Barry handed him the mike. The billionaire proceeded to whack the speedster on the back of his head, then growl at the screen.
Meanwhile, the kids of the BatClan were all sitting around the make-shift stage of pillows and blankets, sending mischievous glances at each other. Oliver turned on the machine, then sat down in between J'onn and Arthur. Kaldur, Connor, and Wally all stood behind Bruce, eager to find out what song he was going to sing.
Then, the music started.
Bruce's eye twitched even further as he turned to Oliver. "Queen, I am going to kill you."
The man only smiled.
Then, the lyrics started. With a heavy sigh, Bruce began.
"Lonesome for you through the day every moment you're away...
Long to see you smiling say I'm in love with you ever will be true..."
The mentors tried to stifle their laughter, and Bruce's twitching eye got more and more noticeable.
"Long to see your smiling face and feel your warm embrace.
No one else can take your place-
When the day is through darling, I'm so blue for you..."
Bruce's cheeks were turning red as certain memories came to mind. Barbara and Blaine began to whoop, the first shaking her hair around as she laughed loudly. Dick was grinning ear-to-ear, as was Terrence. Jason was too busy snuggling with Coraline to listen. Connor was smiling softly, M'gann smiling broadly as she stifled giggles. Kaldur slowly made his way to sit down next to Blaine. The girl visibly stiffened.
"Long on and on, feelin' kinda blue, thinking of you, don't know what I'll do..."
Bruce was turning tomato red with his fury and embarrassment.
"I'll love you so much more than the whole day through,
Long for your knock, knocking at my door,
Long for your kiss, kiss and hold you more."
Barry was doubled over with laughter, his nephew the same next to him.
"Please don't stay away, hurry home today, darling...
I'm so blue for you...
Long and on, feelin' kinda blue..."
The song ended, and Oliver starting a standing ovation. Even Arthur and J'onn, both smiling, stood and clapped. Oliver walked over to take the mike, and Bruce threw it at his face. The archer barely missed. Dinah, smirking, turned and sent a video to Diana via cellphone.
"Who's next?" the archer asked with a smile.
Artemis, smiling, took her boyfriend's hand and dragged the reluctant ginger up to the machine. He grinned and kissed her cheek before taking the microphone. "A duet, please, kind sir!"
Oliver's eye started to twitch, now. He needed to have a talk with a certain little speedster...
The song came on, and Artemis's grin widened. She pulled the mike closer so that she could share with Wally. Then, he started singing.
"Don't go breakin' my heart..."
Artemis giggled, much unalike herself. I couldn't if I tried.
"Oh honey, if I get restless-"
Baby you're not that kind!
Dinah latched onto Oliver's arm, trying to calm him from his tensing muscles.
Roy's face was turning red, too. Why, Wally, why?
Wally wrapped an arm around Artemis's waist.
Everyone joined in the bridge. "Oooooooh! Nobody knows it!" Dinah echoed, "Nobody knooows it!" as she whipped her hair around. Bruce still pouted where he stood next to Dick and Blaine. Kaldur, who inched his hand towards Blaine's, and Blaine, who pretended not to notice.
Artemis and Wally sang the last part together, their eyes stuck on each other. "So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights..."
As the song faded, Wally gently planted a kiss on Artemis's lips. The archeress would have pulled him into a make-out session, if Roy and Ollie weren't in the room.
"Who's next?" Barry voiced, running a hand over his light hair absentmindedly as he smirked.
The Team all looked at each other. Artemis shared a glance with Blaine and M'gann, both of which smiled at her, their eyes glinting. Then, the females turned to Barbara. The young woman's eyes widened as she spoke slowly, "Nooooo way..."
Roy leaned down next to her and ran a hand over her shoulder, sending chills up her spine. "Come on, Babs, just one song..."
She smirked at him, then stood and walked over. After spending several seconds flipping through the menu, the red-head *selected a song. She stood back, taking in a shaky sigh with a small smile, and straightened out her dress. As the music started, Roy felt his heart grow light and his stomach do flips.
It was their song...
Barbara closed her eyes and began. "We were both young when I first saw you...
I close my eyes, and the flashbacks start-"
"Barbara..." The red-head smiled at his girlfriend gently, running his fingers through her own scarlet locks. She shivered, but not just because of the snow that fell around them freely. Her spine tingled with the light pressure he applied to it. Then, he licked his lips.
"Roy..."
They kissed- their first kiss, to be more precise. Both at fifteen, they hadn't yet kissed. But now, oh... It was worth the wait.
"You're standin' there... On a balcony in summer air..."
Her eyes opened, two pools of deep topaz, and she turned to look directly at Roy. Dinah and Oliver both cooed, and Clark smiled, but Bruce felt his stomach grow to lead. The young man smiled gently as Barbara broke into the chorus.
"That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles,
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet,
And I was cryin' on the staircase, beggin' you please don't go-"
Bruce stood in front of the seventeen-year-old, his glare so intense that any hardened criminal would wet his pants.
"You will have her back by nine- to later, or you will regret it, Harper. Do you understand me?"
Roy gulped. "Y-Yes, sir..."
Barbara then came down the stairs, her long green Prom dress glowing and sparkling in the bright lights of the Manor's hallway. Roy felt his jaw drop at the way her red curls fell gently over her bare, freckled shoulders. A simple silver chain adorned her neck, the diamonds falling close towards her chest. Silver eyeshadow was on her lids, and her lips were a gentle nude color. She had a white fur shawl draping over her elbows.
The teenage girl wrapped her arm around Roy's, and, after kissing her dad goodbye, the two made their way out to Roy's rusty pick-up truck. The boy blushed intensely. "I- I know it's not much, but-"
Barbara put a finger on his lips, to the archer's surprise. "I'm just glad to be with you."
The two were too busy kissing to make it to Prom.
"Romeo save me, they try to tall me how to feel,
This love is difficult, but it's real-"
Tears were coming to Barbara's eyes as she watched Roy's own blue eyes lock into hers.
"Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess-
It's a love story, baby just say..."
Roy stood and walked over to the female slowly. Everyone watched curiously. Slowly, he pushed some hair from her face.
The last word was hushed and made her voice crack. "Yes..."
Then, Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. Barbara dropped the mike on the ground as the music kept going, letting her arms latch onto his neck. They kissed softly, their lips moving with each others.
Then, Blaine and Dick stood, both whooping and clapping, "YEAH!"
Jason rolled his eyes as he held onto Coraline. He whispered into her ear, explaining the situation.
Oliver, smiling and holding onto Dinah, nudged Bruce in the ribs. The other man simply shot him the Daddy-Bats Glare.
Arthur turned to J'onn, who was cocking an eye-bone (he doesn't have eye-brows). "Is this... normal behavior for human adults?"
Arthur shook his head, chuckling lightly, and placed a hand on the Martian's shoulder. "I do not know, my friend. I do not know."
Finally, the two broke apart for air. Wally, Dick, and Blaine were now practically screaming with joy, jumping in the air with glee. Artemis rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, but did nothing to stop him. He missed his friends, and he should be able to rejoice for and with them.
Barbara bit her lip, taking Roy's hand. "We need to talk..."
The two walked off into the Mountain.
Dick stood, his black bangs falling around his face as he grinned. "Who's next?"
…
Barbara gently shut the door that led to the deck outside, next to the outdoor (hidden) basketball court. She turned, seeing Roy standing in the moonlight. His eyes sparkled gently, his skin looking a deep tan. His hair looked like fire, fiery like his personality.
Oh, gosh, I sound like a chick from a terrible romance movie...
Roy turned to face her, his eyes prying. Barbara sighed softly, moving into his arms. He held her close to his chest, breathing in the scent of her hair deeply. Lemons and pineapple, like how it had always been. He closed his eyes with a small breath of pleasure. Barbara moved deeper into his chest, light tears dripping from her cheeks to Roy's shirt.
"Barbara..." he started, wetting his lips. "Barbara, we didn't break up because we stopped loving each other... We- I had college and- I-"
Roy gently pulled her away from him. "Barbara... We'll talk later..."
He forcefully pulled her lips to join his, and the two kissed passionately. Barbara nibbled his lip, and their tongues began to fight for dominance. Barbara's hands gently ran down Roy's chest, making him groan lightly. He pulled her down onto a beach chair with him, his arms pulling her into him. She moaned softly, burying her fingers in his hair as the two pulled away. Roy's eyes were alight with pleasure, and Barbara grinned. "Not too far, boy."
He sighed. "Fine."
They fell asleep in each others' arms.
…
All of the mentors had left, as it was almost 1AM. The Team had decided to all stay at the Mountain together so that they could hang out in the morning. M'gann and Connor had taken down the decorations, along with a bit of destructive help from the Tandem Twins, and then thrown them all away (besides the ones the Twins hadn't gotten a hold of- those M'gann saved). Then, being tired, M'gann had left to sleep. A few minutes later, Artemis and Connor went to bed to, and, not long after that, Wally went to his own room. Kaldur made sure that Wally and Artemis were in their own rooms before going back into the kitchen, where Dick and Blaine were still awake.
He yawned. "How are you two still awake?"
Blaine giggled as she pulled her bun down, shaking her hair to let it relax. Kaldur felt his neck warm when her onyx eyes looked at him.
"We're Bats, remember?" Dick chuckled as he bit down on a banana.
"Hey," Blaine began as she sashayed over to the cabinets, "want some cocoa? It's actually snowing outside!"
Dick's sapphires widened as he cackled. "Oh, Roy and Babs are asleep outside!"
Blaine rounded on him. "Then go get them!"
The acrobat's eyebrows furrowed as he whined, "Why do I have to?"
She placed her hand on her hips, two mugs hanging from her fingers. "Because I'm older, I can kick your butt, and I said so!"
Grumbling to himself, Dick back-flipped and darted outside to get the two 'love-birds'. Kaldur turned to Blaine, who was setting milk to boil. She tossed the Atalantean a wooden spoon as she turned to reach up and grab some powdered chocolate and cinnamon. "Stir the milk so it doesn't film."
Kaldur cocked an eyebrow but tried his luck.
He heard a small grunt, and silver eyes turned gently to see Blaine struggling, with his tiny frame, to reach the tallest shelf. Her fingers stretched up, barely brushing the bottom of the cinnamon jar. Her eyebrows went up and her tongue stuck out of the corner of her lips as she attempted- unsuccessfully- to reach it.
Kaldur's eyes then turned to the sink, and he smirked.
Blaine gasped lightly as something wet touched her bare feet. She looked down as she was lifted into the air. A cyclone of water was lifting her up, so that she was right in front of the spices. An unbelieving giggle rose from the vigilante's lips as she grabbed the cinnamon. Gently, the water let her back down onto perfectly dry surface. She turned to see the gentle waves float back into the sink.
Blaine turned and saw Kaldur standing, facing the pot, slowly stirring the milk. She scoffed lightly, then walked over with the powder and spice.
Kaldur made a space for her, and she applied the other ingredients. Silver eyes watched her as she 'worked'. Then, her hair flew forward-
But Kaldur'ahm caught it before it fell into the boiling milk. He pushed it past her ear, and she flushed. "Thanks."
"You are welcome."
She chuckled. "Do you never talk normally?"
He frowned. "I do not-"
"You you ever use slang or conjunctions?"
He smirked. "I prefer to use proper grammar."
She rolled her eyes, smiling. "Whatever."
He smiled back.
There was an odd silence.
Kaldur cleared his throat. "So... Blaine- may I ask your full name?"
The blonde shrugged. "Sure. It's Blaine Lillian McGuyver."
He nodded. "My name is Kaldur'ahm. We have no middle or last names in Atlantis."
Blaine looked at him curiously, still stirring the cocoa. "But, what about your king? Arthur Corin?"
"That is his human name, for when he is on land. His true name is simply Corin. But, I call him 'my King' as a sign of respect."
Blaine nodded. "Can you get the marshmallows? I think this is almost done."
Kaldur nodded and did so. The two stood in an awkward silence for several more moments, until Blaine began to pour the cocoa. A few drops splashed onto her hand, and she hissed. Kaldur took the pot from her and set it down, taking her red hand into both of his. "It- It's fine," she lied. Being the protege of Batman required that a lot.
His black tattoos began to glow a neon teal, and ice-cold water ran over her hand, chilling her nails and burn. A hiss escaped Blaine's lips, and her eyes closed. Kaldur watched as her snow white eyelashes fell over \her snowy cheeks. Light blondish-brownish freckles ran over her nose and her gently flushed cheeks. Her deep black lips quivered lightly as the burn healed over with Kaldur's whispered spells.
Finally, he broke off. The water floated once more back to the sink. Kaldur was about to pull away, but Blaine held on tightly to his hand. His eyes widened in shock, and he looked up at her. "What-"
She hushed him with a kiss.
Their lips were gently pressed against each others, barely even touching.
It was her first kiss.
Oh, my gosh...
"Hey, Bla-"
They broke apart instantly, but it was too late.
Dick stood there in the doorway, his eye developing a twitch. His face was turning beat red, and his fists turned into hardened spheres. "Kaldur?"
"Y-Yes?"
"Run."
Yaaaaay!
