6

Dick's POV
"So..." Babs and I sat in silence at the kitchen counter eating cereal. Usually when she stayed with us at the manor, we woke up at six, did a 4K run, had a continental breakfast cooked by Alfred, then tackled the latest case. Or homework. Now? Not so much.
"So..." Babs mimicked me. "Bat got your tongue, Robin?" How did she always mess with me like this?
"So..." I repeated. Babs smirked. We were the only ones at the table. Connor and M'gann weren't up yet.
"We seriously need to work on your conversation skills." Babs started. "Ok, so, about last night. We were gonna talk...about us...you know." I got the hint.
"Yeah. So." I took a deep breath. "I love you, Babs, as a friend and a partner. I hope one day I can love you as something more." There, I got it out of my system.
"Well, I love you too, as a friend and partner. And one day, when we're older, maybe I can love you in a different way. But we don't want to grow up too fast! We're fourteen! You've seen what it does to Bats, sheesh." She whispered this last part. I guess I kind of agreed with her. But it didn't stop me from putting my hand on her head and kissing her. She put her hands on my shoulders, brought me closer, then pushed me, spinning me around on the stool.
"Nice try, Boy Blunder. Gotta admit you know you're way around a kiss. But not yet." Then she tapped me on the nose and walked to the sink to clean her bowl.

Barbara's POV
Isn't it what I've always wanted? Dick to kiss me? Ever since I laid my eyes on the dark haired, blue eyed boy, I couldn't get over how...Richard he was. But when he kissed me, it felt...it felt like I was holding back. Like I didn't want to give him a taste of what he wouldn't have.

Third Person
"So *somersault* you want *somersault* us to play *somersault* truth or dare?" Barbara asked as she did acrobatics over the couch. It was Artemis's birthday, and the whole team was having a sleepover at Mount Justice.
"Yes."
"Fine." Barbara sighed, sitting down. M'gann clapped her hands.
"I have one!" Wally yelled. "Ok, ok. Truth or dare...Batgirl." Barbara sighed.
"We haven't played this since fourth grade...ok, dare."
"Yes! Ok, you have to choose the person you have a crush on in the room, and go into that closest and do seven minutes in heaven."
"I'm fourteen."
"And I'm sixteen, thanks for pointing out the obvious." Wally said, making a 'go' motion with his hand. She looked at Dick and blushed. It wouldn't hurt to admit her crush just this once.
"Um...ok...Robin." Barbara squeaked. His eyes lit up when She said his name. Together, they disappeared into the closet.

"It's been five minutes." Wally said. "You can't hear a thing."
"Well, they were trained by Batman." M'gann pointed out.
"Not to make out quietly."
"Trust me, they're not quiet." Connor whispered.
"Is this another super hearing thing?" Wally complained, pressing his ear against the door.

When Barbara and Dick stepped out, they were grinning.
"We knew you were listening, so we didn't do anything. Besides, like I said, we're fourteen." Barbara said. Artemis walked up to them.
"You're fifteen in a month." She said, handing Barbara a pot of concealer.
"Why do I need this?"
"To cover the huge hickey on your shoulder." Both protege's blushed the colour of Barbara's hair. Wally sped over to her.
"If you can't handle Rob, I'm always-ow!" Barbara punched Wally in his cheek.
"That's what you get when you mess with the wrong Bat-Chick." She said, brushing her hands off on her jeans, and stalking off into her room.

Oh, and this charter is based on one by PixieBootsLover in her GrayBat oneshots. It was just so good I had to put it in!
