"Not that I'm complaining," Kyle drawled from his place in front of his easel, "but shouldn't you be in school?"
"We're here on business with Bruce," I replied, lounging comfortably on Kyle's old couch.
"I'm pretty sure whatever 'business' you guys are on doesn't involve you lying on my couch in my apartment," Kyle commented, and I heard his pencil lightly scratching his paper as he drew expertly.
"The meeting's at three," I informed him. "You're stuck with me for another six hours."
I saw Kyle's shoulders move upwards as he shrugged before he continued working. "That's fine with me. Is it weird I prefer your presence over people my age?"
"I don't think so," I told him. "My best friend, after Dick, of course, is Roy."
"Speaking of Dick, what's up with him?" Kyle inquired, nudging his head towards Dick, who was slumped over a table a few feet from us. "He looks completely dead."
"I wish…" Dick mumbled, digging his fingers into his dark locks. "V's not letting me kiss her for twenty-four hours…"
"It was girls' night last night," I informed Kyle. "And Dick thought it was a good idea to spy."
Kyle looked at Dick weirdly. "How'd you get caught, then? You're like, a freaking ninja." I quirked my eyebrow at the artist, making him clear his throat. "I mean, that was really bad of you, Dick. Don't you know not to spy on girls?"
I exhaled deeply, shaking my head. Boys.
"That just makes me sound like a huge pervert," Dick complained, his voice slightly muffled by one of his arms.
"You're a teenaged guy," Kyle pointed out, dipping his brush in a cup of water. "It's the same thing, anyway." He let out a small sigh. "Ah, kids. When withdrawing kissing is the worst punishment ever."
My face burned as I realized what he was insinuating. "Kyle!" I scolded, wanting to reach up and whack him. But doing so would ruin his work, so I refrained from doing so.
Kyle laughed, throwing his head back. "I guess that's one of the downsides to having an age difference among friends."
