That was... unexpected.

Beast Boy pulled away and opened his eyes to find Robin looking at him wide eyed. He wanted to say something, anything. But he was still processing what happened. So he just stood there, unable to move, staring at his green eyes, in silence.

When the silence turned too uncomfortable, Beast Boy got up from the couch, feeling Robin's eyes on the back of his head as he approached the big window of the living room.

"You kissed me" the black haired boy whispered under his breath, finally getting out of his shock state.

"Yeah" Beast Boy sighed softly.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, touching his lips, still sitting on the couch.

"I just..." he looked down at the waves crashing on the shore, while fidgeting with his fingers "I was curious. You know... about boys... and- "

"And why me?" Robin interrupted him. "I mean, why did you choose to kiss me?"

"Because I can't kiss Cyborg. He's my friend. It would be weird"

"So I am not your friend?"

"That's not what I meant!" Beast Boy yelped, turning to meet his leader. "I thought you wouldn't mind because you are bi. Sorry"

They stared at each other for a second before Beast Boy turned back to the window. What was he thinking? He thought Robin wouldn't mind to kiss him just because he's attracted to boys? That was stupid. But you know what was even more stupid? Thinking he could kiss Robin and walk away like nothing happened. Of course it would have consequences. Of course Robin would ask why he did that.

But he needed to make things clear. He needed to know if he was into boys, because some weird stuffs have been happening to him lately. Like, when he thought that that guy on the comic store was cute or when they went to the beach and found himself ogling at the lifeguard.

So he thought that, if he kissed a boy, he would know if he liked them or not. It seemed like a good idea. He even though that choosing Robin to be the one he was going to kiss was a good idea. Because kissing the boy all of the sudden instead of talking with him or asking him for advice was a better idea. God, what the hell was he thinking?

He felt a hand on his left shoulder and turned to find Robin by his side.

"What about you?" he asked, quickly removing his hand from Beast Boy's shoulder.

"What about me?"

"Are you bisexual?"

"I... I'm not sure"

Beast Boy crossed his arms and looked down. He was so embarrassed. They stood there for a whole minute, looking at their feet in an awkward silence. Until Robin talked, finally turning to him.

"Maybe we should kiss again"

"What?" now Beast Boy was looking at him too.

"Y-You know, so you can find out about your sexuality. When we kissed before... I didn't kiss back. It wasn't a real kiss. So maybe that's why you're not sure. I just wanna help you. Because friends help each other. And we are friends, right?"

Beast Boy didn't say anything. He just stared at Robin's eyes (well, at Robin's mask) wondering if he heard it right.

Was he serious? Was he really suggesting to kiss again? And was it normal that he wanted to say yes? Then, that meant that he liked boys, so it wasn't necessary to kiss Robin again. But maybe it was a good idea. Just to confirm his bisexuality. There was nothing wrong with it. Like Robin said, they were friends, and friends help each other.

"Right... I mean yeah" he said, taking one step closer to the young leader. "Maybe... maybe we should"

They stood there, close to each other but both too shy to make the first move. Then, tired of the awkwardness, Robin started to get closer, and Beast Boy did the same. Once their noses brushed against each other's cheeks and their lips were inches apart, they stopped moving. They looked at each other for a second, and then, they kissed.

It was shy at first. Slowly, Beast Boy put his hands on Robin's neck and Robin gently grabbed him by the waist. This time, Beast Boy noticed how warm Robin's mouth was and how surprisingly soft his lips were. Then, as they gained more confidence, Beast Boy tasted tentatively with his tongue and Robin opened his mouth, giving him full access.

And while Beast Boy's hands tangled in his hair and Robin's hands went up to his back, pressing them closer, they thought how lucky they were that the rest of the team wasn't home.
