Alister gasped awake. His wings fluttered and sent a strong gust of wind through the room. The sound of a groan made him roll onto his side.

Beside him, rested Dick Grayson. He was out like a light, and snoring like a hog. His bare chest was exposed but the comforter concealed his naked lower half.

Alister propped himself up on one arm. A smile grin pulled against his lips. Slivers of moonlight danced across Dick's face. It was like the moon gave Alister a blessed view.

He wanted to reach out and stroke Dick's cheek. Alister knew better, though. One touch and it would all be over. Dick would be awake in an instant. He was sleeping too peacefully for that.

Alister's her skipped a beat. Moments like this were hard to come by. So when they did come, he cherished them. He also wanted them to end.

It wasn't right. This thing going on between them. It was dangerous. Dangerous for the Titans, and dangerous for his heart.

A tortured sigh escaped him. Alister reached out and gave Dick's chest a push. "Wake up, Grayson. We fell asleep, again." He said.

Dick groaned and rolled over. "Five more minutes," he whispered.

Alister rolled his eyes. "It's three in the morning, Dick. Dawn will notice you're not in bed with her soon, if she hasn't noticed already." He said.

Dick was non responsive. He hugged Alister's pillow tighter and buried his face in the pillowcase. He took in as deep of a breath as he could. The smell, Alister's smell, was like food for his soul.

"Fine. I'll leave, since you want me to go so bad." He said. Dick pushed the blanket away and sat on the edge of the bed. The cool air attacked his naked body immediately.

Alister sighed. "You know I don't want you to go, but you have to. I don't want to cause any drama." He said.

He crawled to Dick's side of the bed. Alister pressed his chest against Dick's back. He wrapped his arms around Dick and rested their heads together. His wings curled around them, the soft, golden flecked feathers tickled Dick's skin.

A smile careened across Dick's face. He rested his warm hands on top of Alister's. "I know, I'm just teasing."

"Asshole." Said Alister after he sucked his teeth. He attempted to pull away but Dick held him in place.

"Don't be like that. I love you." Dick said. He crooked his neck just enough to see Alister smile in his peripheral.

"I love you too, Dick. Now go before Dawn suspects anything." Alister said. He pulled himself free of Dick's hold.

Dick stood up. His bare ass mooned Alister as he searched the floor. He was searching for the scraps of his clothes Alister had torn off of him earlier.

"Get your ass out of my face." Alister said, he gave Dick a little push.

Dick flashed a childish grin over his shoulder. "Would you rather I put my dick in your face, then?" He asked.

Alister snorted. "Grow up, Grayson." He said.

"Never. Alright, I'm stumped. Can you use your hawk-eyes to help me find my underwear?" I swear, they were right there." Dick sighed. He was both tired and frustrated.
