Snuggle

Robin often adopted... strange... positions on the couch, most involving his flexibility and acrobatic abilities, but this... this was something else. Sure, the team had seen him hanging by his feet off the couch, suspended upside down while reading a book, or doing splits while pwning KF at video games, perching precariously on the edge sometimes when the couch was otherwise occupied, and even occasionally lying with his feet dangling over the edge of the armrest. But... As Wally West so eloquently put it, "This one's new."

It had been an exhausting mission. Haggard and begrimed, the team had dispersed to the showers, attempting to lessen the aches and pains of sore muscles while simultaneously cleansing filthy bodies. After a quick change, the group gathered in the living room of Mount Justice on some unspoken agreement to find a disgruntled clone and the team's youngest member sitting on the couch- well, at least, Conner was.

Robin was currently sprawled on the couch, giving 'sprawled' a whole new meaning. Limbs askew, he was everywhere at once, including on top of the poor Kryptonian, the cause of his irritation. His head lolled by the arm rest, one arm dangling off the couch, the other resting on the back of the couch, fingers splayed across the leather. One leg draped over the clone's lap, the other drooping offthe side.

"He just came and threw himself across the couch. I can't get him to move," explained the clone, gesturing furiously at Robin. The bird's snores permeated the quiet that followed his statement, as sunglasses slipped further off the edge of his nose. Kaldur looked mildly amused, as M'gann tried to placate Superboy.

"Don't worry, we'll get him off, maybe I should use my telekinesis...?" she suggested, trailing off.
"I do not think it would be wise to disturb him. I do not wish to upset the rare tranquility he has when asleep," warned Kaldur.

Artemis sniggered, while Wally struggled to stifle chortles.

"Baywatch. Camera. NOW."

"You know it, blondie." Wally winked, speeding off. Returning in an instant, he snapped a few quick photos before setting the camera down, so he could save/back up/duplicate them for future blackmail reference.

"I must admit, though, his Batman pajamas make him look mildly adorable..."remarked the blonde archer, continuing hastily at the smirk sent by Wally,"...in a completely platonic way!"

"Aww, Arty, I'm hurt..." a muffled voice came behind the arm Robin threw over his face.

Conner rolled his eyes.

"Hey, pipsqueak, we kinda need you to move," piped up Wally.

"I'm not that small," defended Robin, momentarily shifting his arm so he could glare at Wally, before replacing it and adding, "And just for that, I'm not moving."

Conner groaned.

"C'mon Rob, you're killing Supey over here. Just move for a minute."

"Make me."

Ronin's childish retort was met with an unattractive snort from Artemis, a concerned anticipating look from Kaldur, and a warning from Wally.

"Just remember, you asked for it."

In a series of rapid actions to fast to follow, Wally jabbed his best friend's side multiple times, eliciting a squeak from the smaller ebony. He curled in on himself, never moving off of Superboy.

"That didn't help," commented Superboy, punctuated by Robin's triumphant "Ha!"

"Hey, I tried," shrugged the redhead, plopping unceremoniously on the couch and crushing the object of dissent against the cushions.

"You're squashing me!" complained Robin, snuggling into the speedster's chest anyway.

"I know," agreed aforementioned speedster.

"I hate you," grumbled Robin.

"Actions speak louder than words, I'm afraid, Rob, and right now, cuddling does not mean hate," said the Artemis.

"Shut up, Arty. If that's so, does that mean every time you hit Wally, you're hitting on him?"

The archer went red.

"Zip it, half-pint."

"That's a low blow."

"High enough for a short troll."

"You know you love me."

Grunting, she plopped herself down next to Kaldur, who had settled on the couch while they argued. M'gann decided to cuddle with Superboy in his lap.

"I'm not hearing a no!" Robin singsonged.

"That's cuz I already said one. Platonic, remember Boy Blunder? Besides, I wouldn't want to disturb this disturbingly romantic bromance between you and Kid Mouth."

"Leave me out of this, I'm sleeping."

"How about we all just stop talking and REST?" Kaldur suggested, emphasizing 'rest' before they could launch themselves into yet another argument.

"Fine."

An hour later, when almost everyone was asleep, the computer announced the arrival of Red Arrow.

"Recognized: Red Arrow B05."

Upon entering and seeing the team's current state, he exited the room, returning with blankets, which he promptly proceeded to arrange to cover them.

Cracking open an eye and raising an eyebrow, Artemis couldn't resist snarking.

"Wow, you really do have a heart!"

Scowling, he snapped back, "Just shut up and scoot over, replacement."

She smirked, complying.

3 hours later...

Concerned mentors flocked to the cave, worried about their unresponsive protégés, only to be met with an adorable sight.
Needless to say, pictures were taken.
