For people that the world depended on for its survival, the members of the Justice League could be the most oblivious people you could ever meet. Give them the tiniest clue as to who committed a murder and they'd give you a prime suspect with a list of potential aliases in half an hour. But put in front of them two people who are very obviously in love with each other they would just see two very close friends who were affectionate with one another. They weren't going to assume that their constant hugs and hand-holding were just them fighting the nature of toxic masculinity. They were affectionate guys in general. So their compliments sometimes got really super gay but if that was how the two hyped each other up, they wouldn't comment on it.



One sign that the League had before the pair even started dating was on one particular occasion. Batman had his sign and Flash had the other. Both their boys asked how do you ask someone out. Both of them used gender-neutral terms and outright refused to even say their crushes names. Before this event, neither had spoken of a crush nor did they mention who the person was after they got the advice. "I tell you what Wally is growing up so fast since he joined that team," Flash had said passingly. He and Batman were in the refectory of the Watchtower getting some coffee when he felt the need to say it. Batman, remembering the little pep talk Robin gave him to engage in more conversations, decided to humor the hero. "Indeed," he stated.

"How about Dick? Has he changed ever since he joined?" Flash asked.

"I suppose he has changed. Just the other day he asked me about asking someone out. Probably some girl caught his attention or something," he answered. He almost sounded sad about the subject. Well, he kinda was. Once a boy started liking girls like that their childhood was pretty much over and now it was the beginning of the teen angst phase where if they're not smoking or drinking alcohol by sixteen you've done an above-average job. He wasn't ready to deal with that. He was quite the terror during his own teenage years and could only hope that his ward didn't follow suit. "That's what Wally asked me. He wouldn't tell me if it was a boy or a girl though." Batman hummed.

"Dick was like that too."

"Teenagers eh? They're a strange breed indeed," Flash replied with a chuckle. He lightly jabbed Batman's arm with his elbow in a joking manner. 

"Don't touch me."



They never heard a follow up to the dating situation. It was Green Arrow and Black Canary who got further clues that they promptly scrunched up and threw out a window onto a busy street. They were in the Mountain at the same time as the not-so-secret secret couple completely by accident. They were doing some updates which were originally just going to be a one-person job but Green Arrow decided he wanted to join. Just in case they had another weird situation with M'gann shapeshifting. As Black Canary worked and he just kind of stood there, they heard Dick and Wally walk down the hall to the Zetatubes. "How am I supposed to cover these up?" Dick asked in an exasperated tone. "Who says you should? I think they look cute," the ginger answered through a snigger. He was obviously taunting the younger and since he had nothing better to do, Green Arrow decided to find what it was over. He walked into the hallway nonchalantly and immediately chuckled. Dick had dark red blotches along his neck. They were in an awkward spot too where you couldn't hide them without wrapping a scarf around your neck. Considering it was the summer, a scarf would be very suspicious. The teenagers looked at him, one giggled harder and the other gave him an unamused look. "This isn't funny. B is gonna kill me!"
